Sharrow-ing the road

S n An East Passyunk Crossing school graduate is hoping to fulfill his pro hoops dream. See page 31.

outh Philadelphia cyclists have even more to celebrate. With a grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission of $250,000 through the Transportation Alternative Program, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP) plans to implement sharrows and signage on 13th and 15th streets from South Street to Oregon Avenue. Green chevrons, signs proclaiming that bicycles are “allowed use of full lane,” and added parking lanes are part of

the BCGP’s short-term goals for making Philadelphia a world-class cycling city. Parking won’t be taken away. The chevrons and corresponding signage will simply communicate to drivers that the location is a street where cycling is encouraged and protected, and if the need for speed is so great, they should use other streets. “Studies show that behavior improves when sharrows exist, and it does improve both cyclist and motorist behavior. We don’t want bikes on Broad [Street],” Susan Dannenberg, a policy fellow for BCGP, said frankly, adding that there are too many dangerous behaviors happening on side-

walks and that the volume of traffic makes it an unsafe cycling corridor. The 13th and 15th street project aims to create a safer Broad Street bike corridor by pulling cyclists one block away for much safer and protected cycling routes. “Look! There’s a really nice place to ride just one block away” is something Dannenberg hopes riders will exclaim when South Broad Street signage points them to the new and improved roadways. “Certainly anyone would detour one block if See SharrowS page 10 >>

Do-it-yourself theory To the Editor: I want to thank Gloria Endres (“Resourceful times,” July 17) for her kind comments on my nostalgic letter “Reflection of the good ol’ days,” (July 10). While it may have been nostalgic, it was not the message I was trying to send. While the city turned from manufacturing to service jobs, there is one thing we have learned: It is not working. The unemployment rolls have grown, income per family has dropped constantly and the GDP has dropped considerably. It is time to pivot on an 180-degree angle and introduce carpenters, electricians and mechanics to the working world. We have given more away in entitlements than ever before. The family structure has broken down. A family can make more money staying home and accepting entitlements than working. Education is an all-encompassing word. Many young people do not have the resources or the desire to get a college education, but can use their energies by learning a trade and make money in a job after high school.

In the past eight years, we have [experienced] an economy that is not growing at all. Have you ever tried to hire a handyman in South Philly? I have, and could not see any advertisements in the Review. I was able to get an old friend though my parish. Instead of sweating it out waiting for your government subsidies to come in the mail, how about using the sweat off one’s brow to earn a decent living. Joe Cirella South Philadelphia

Hydrant etiquette To the Editor: It happens every year; the media shows video or photos of Philadelphia children running through the spray of an open fire hydrant. I’m writing to urge you not to do so because unauthorized use of hydrants is illegal and can result in injury and even death, not to mention property damage or loss. Hydrant abuse can take a serious toll on the ability of a water utility

to function properly and can cost us dearly in utility operating dollars, ecological protection, water main breaks and safety to children and adults. It can flood nearby basements, hamper firefighting efforts and disrupt water service for schools, hospitals, businesses and homes in the immediate area. Illegally opening one wastes 60,000 gallons of water each hour, which is how much one household uses in an entire year. While the summer heat can be a very serious issue in its own right, like the electric industry, the water industry can be running at peak capacity during these days. As we see regularly in news reports, there are many safe ways to stay cool — going for a swim in one of the city’s pools or spray parks, drinking plenty of water or visiting a library, mall or movie theater with air conditioning. I hope you will consider images of children splashing away in a pool or participating in a reading program at an air-conditioned library as a positive alternative.

he Central Detective Division last week announced it is seeking William Mack as the suspect in four gunpoint robberies of food delivery persons, with two of the incidents occurring in William Mack South Philly. They identified the 43-year-old Camden resident after analyzing the details of 12 such crimes since March 21. In each matter, authorities determined that someone would call a restaurant whose delivery person uses an electric bicycle, which, their report notes, tends to retail for nearly $1,200, then rob the worker of the ride, a cell phone and cash by administering threats with a firearm. Officials released dates and locations for the dozen complaints, with the 10th, details of which they have not released, occurring July 15 on the 600 block of Catharine Street. In the most recent documented case, the victim was set to drop off food on the 1700 block of Catharine Street when an unknown offender approached from behind and pointed a black gun at him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When the motorist said he had no money on him because the customers had paid online, the supposed gunman allegedly demanded his iPhone 5, grabbed his electric mountain bike and fled eastbound on Catharine Street. Police identified Mack as the suspect by analyzing two separate phone numbers, which they contend are his, that made the calls. To report information, call Central Detective Division at 215-686-3093, or dial 911.

Two males robbed a pair of women in Girard Estate last week. At approximately 3:15 a.m. July 13, police responded to a radio call on the 2400 block of South Garnet Street and met with two female complainants who reported they had been outside a residence when two men walked past them, Detec-

tive Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They said the figures then put their hoods on and turned back in their direction, with one holding a gun to the first woman’s head and yelling “Give us everything.” The females dropped their handbags and ran to the first victim’s residence on the same block. Police surveyed the area for the thieves with negative results but recovered the holders on the 2400 block of South 20th Street, Tolliver said. The contents were intact, except for a cell phone. The victims described the aggressors as black, with the first being 5-foot-8; having braids; and wearing a red hoodie and black pants; and the second as having short hair and wearing a black hoodie and black pants.

A gun-toting man robbed a female in Point Breeze last week. At approximately 8 p.m. July 14, the complainant was walking toward Broad and Mifflin streets when an unknown male approached her from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Pointing a gun at her face, he demanded “Give me everything you got,” with the woman handing over her wallet, which contained $100, identification, a bank card and a University of Pennsylvania student identification card. The man, whom she described as black, 5-foot-9, having a light complexion, large eyes, a medium build, 200 to 220 pounds, brandishing a small gun and wearing a hoodie or raincoat, fled along the 1800 block of South Carlisle Street.

POLICE REPORt Bad reception A trio of men robbed a male who had hoped to buy a television in West Passyunk last week. At 9:50 a.m. July 14, the complainant reported he was to meet an unknown male on the 2100 block of South Norwood Street to purchase the device, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He met the stranger not far from the destination and began to walk to see the item. As he and the supposed seller were traveling, two accomplices approached and grabbed him from behind. The leader of the trio pointed a black gun at his head, while the first ally went through his pockets and the other helper kept him from breaking up the matter or leaving, Tolliver said. They took his wallet, keys and cell phone and fled in an unknown direction. The victim had no information on the third member but described the others as black, 20 to 25 years old, 5-foot-10; and having thin builds and light complexions, with the first wearing a white and blue jogging suit and toting a gun and the second wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Good Samaritan slugged

Foursome foiled A quartet of males tried to rob three indi-

viduals in West Passyunk last week. At 1 a.m., the complainants were on the 2000 block of South 22nd Street walking northbound to catch a bus when four men exited a black car that stopped in front of the street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The masked figures told them to put their hands up and remove everything from their bags. When the would-be thieves realized their prey had nothing of value, they ordered the complainants to lie down on the ground, inspecting their pants pockets yet also not finding anything noteworthy, Tolliver said. The offenders returned to their automobile, which the victims described as an older black model with a squareshaped body and a silver design or scratch on the door, and headed northbound on 22nd Street toward Moore Street. They described the first as black, 5-foot11; having a thin build; and wearing black Nike shorts and shoes and a white Polo Vneck T-shirt; the second as black, 5-foot-8; having a medium build; and wearing blue cargo shorts, a white Polo V-neck T-shirt, blue Converse shoes and high socks; the third as black, 6 foot; and having a thin build; and the final one as white, 5-foot-8; and having a medium build.

Police are looking for a man who stole an officer’s bicycle in Point Breeze. At 11:30 a.m. July 9, the law enforcement figure was performing a security check on the 1800 block of South Broad Street and left his Trek Police Bike outside the property.

Police arrested a New Jersey man for allegedly assaulting a male who had tried to break up a fight that the victim contends involved the accused. At 4:20 a.m. July 17, police responded to a “Fight on the Highway” call on the 200 block of McClellan Street and found the complainant bleeding from his head. The man had been cleaning up after a party when a fight broke out between two males, Detective Danielle Tolliver said. Looking to stop the fight by intervening, he suffered a large cut to the top of his head when the reported offender allegedly knocked him to the ground and punched him repeatedly. He received transport two Methodist Hospital, where personnel used to staples to close the wound. His positive identification helped authorities to arrest 44-year-old Du Nguyen, of Voorhees, and charge him with simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person.

BenePhilly beating poverty Six Benefits Access Centers will guide a quarter of Philadelphians toward stability. n By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

he Mayor’s Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity (CEO), in partnership with Benefits Data Traust and Solutions for Progress, have named six centers as locations to assist in accessing benefits to low-income Philadelphians with a program called BenePhilly. One of those six is United Communities Southeast Philadelphia in the Houston Center, 2029 S. Eighth St., where South Philadelphians can go to receive counseling and coaching toward stability and overcoming poverty. The other five are Catholic Social Services in North Philly, People’s Emergency Center in West Philly, Philadelphia FIGHT and Utilities Emergency Services Fund in Center City and Project HOME in Fairmount. The centers provide support for enrolling in the following benefits: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, health insurance like CHIP, Medicaid and Medicare, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Care Tax Credit and both state and city property tax credits (including the Homestead Exemption). They’ll also connect women with Women, Infants and Children support, and South Philadelphians to: Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance and Unemployment Insurance. Shared Prosperity is the City of Philadelphia’s “Plan to Fight Poverty,” and in its 2013 executive summary, it reports “At a staggering 28 percent, Philadelphia’s poverty rate is the highest among the nation’s 10 largest cities. Over 430,000 of our 1,547,600 citizens live below the federal poverty line.” Additionally, “Black Philadelphians and Latinos are twice as likely to be poor as whites. Poverty is also high among people with disabilities (40 percent) and households headed by single mothers (42 percent).” That’s 28 out of every 100 Philadelphians living in poverty. And the United Commu-

Barbara McDuffie (from left to right), Gina Shrestha and Francis Carney are the friendly faces connecting residents with benefits they may not know they’re eligible for and that can bring their households stability. S ta f f P h o t o b y B i l l C h e n e v e r t

nities Benefits Access Center (BAC) is one of the most successful of the six in the city in terms of getting in the door people who are scared and worried, and sending them back out to the world with a little relief. From May 1 to July 13 this year, the East Passyunk Crossing BAC scheduled 458 of BenePhilly’s 1,410 appointments and completed 364 of the program’s 1,049 applications. “Holistically, we can bring a client in and address all of their basic needs. One of the main reasons we’re excited is that, looking at it from the client perspective, it’s a one-stop shop,” Barbara McDuffie, a United Communities staff member with 20 years of service, said. “You’re walking out with the understanding that, by providing these documents, I can be eligible for food stamps to feed my family.” “A lot of people don’t apply because they think there are some people who need it more than I do,” Gina Shrestha, a newlyhired BenePhilly counselor who’s available for walk-in and phone counseling, said. The Nepalese-fluent employee helps add a face to an often intimidating and overwhelming process. “What they don’t realize is that the situation can get worse if they don’t get help. If not a lot of people apply for food stamps, the funding gets lowered because it appears as if they don’t need it —people think that

if they apply they’re taking money away from someone who needs it more,” she added. For McDuFFie, she sees a lot of value in the center simply offering empathy and delicacy with the process. “It’s living life on life’s terms,” she said. Clients often just want to explain that they broke up with their boyfriend, their son’s on drugs, etc. “Most people feel the need to explain where they are at this particular time, and these are all the events that lead up to this,” McDuffie explained. With so many South Philadelphians unaware that they may be eligible for a little assistance from the city or state, giving them the good news might not be concretely measured, but it can be communicated with a slack jaw and wide-eyed relief. “You can see it in their faces. When you tell them that [with a rent rebate], $650 could be used for other vital necessities” clients are elated, McDuffie relayed. “Every dollar that you can divert back to the home is a success.” “It’s about stabilizing families in South Philadelphia for us. There are times when people need that temporary assistance,” Francis Carney, the executive director at United Communities, said. “How are we helping them to take those next steps?

We’re able to offer them that next level for that basic stability, or we know where we can refer them.” Walk-ins are able to sit with counselors who ask them a packet-ful of questions and responses raise red flags in terms of referrals of services or eligibility for services. “Are you a victim of domestic abuse? Do you have a shut-off notice? Are you behind on your mortgage or rent?” McDuffie offered as a few starters. Once eligibilities are noted, the counselors also make sure that clients receive the benefits. “Somebody comes in for the food cupboard, and we’re going to try to schedule them for an appointment for a BAC counselor,” Carney noted of a strong tactic for cross-referring services within the same building and connecting dots for individuals. “That’s the main goal for this program — to literally walk someone through the process to the finish line so that they actually receive the benefits,” McDuffie added. McDuffie and Shrestha both note that the process can be daunting, especially for those with literacy and language barriers. “Having a one-on-one counselor and knowing that your paperwork is 99.99 percent correct is huge,” McDuffie said, “because sometimes clients won’t understand it and are too embarrassed.” “I think the clients feel comfortable talking to someone that understands them because it can be pretty frustrating otherwise and lead to people giving up,” Shrestha concurred. Eva Gladstein, executive director of CEO, said “every year, eligible Philadelphia residents leave millions of dollars on the table by not enrolling in critical benefits programs.” The underlying theme of the BenePhilly Access Centers is that of equalizing the poverty struggle in our city, not letting people skate through life on government spending. “At least a quarter of Philadelphia is in poverty, and that’s just unacceptable. There’s a very strong stigma against welfare in general,” Shrestha said. “The people that come through our doors legitimately need help,” McDuffie said. “And what’s so nice about having [BenePhilly] here is that we can help them with a variety of things and then follow the process through to make sure they get it. Enrolling people successfully makes a huge difference.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117. Comment

sharrows continued from page 1 they knew there was a better facility there,” she expressed. The Bicycle Coalition tapped the Community Design Collaborative (CDC) to help them articulate their goals and present a plan to the City’s relevant offices: the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, Philadelphia Streets Department, Philadelphia Water Department, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Philadelphia City Council and the Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities. The CDC grants pro bono design work to nonprofits to the tune of $30 to $40,000 with the hopes that, with a strong and coherent design plan, they’ll attract the necessary funding and approval to achieve the non-profit’s goals. “In situations like South Philadelphia where you have a 10-foot lane, it’s not really safe for a car to pass a cyclist, so you’re better off positioning yourself so that you can take the lane and pull over and let people pass,” Dannenberg explained. The hope is that sharrows and signage would create an atmosphere “where motorists would be particularly patient on that street or potentially not use the street at all,” she said. Of course, the sharrows won’t show up overnight. For best results, it’s ideal to have them go down at the same time the City paves streets. “The timeline is under review, and they try to coordinate it with paving schedules, and they last longer when they’re put down on fresh asphalt,” Dannenberg said. The sharrows project has an absolute end-date of getting underway by 2017, at which point if it hasn’t been initiated, the funding is lost. “This is a street that’s been in the pipeline for a while, so we don’t have to wait for

a five-year plan,” the policy expert notes, adding “I think we have good positioning to get it pushed through sooner rather than later, by fall of ’15.” It’s one of Philadelphia’s points of pride that bicycle commuting has exploded in the last 15 years, a fact some would rightfully attribute to an encouraging City Hall that aims to keep and court a young creative class. According to the CDC’s “Safe Streets, Healthy Neighborhoods: South Philadelphia Project” report from June of ’12, “Philadelphia has, per capita, twice as many bicycle commuters as any other big city in the U.S. Bicycle commuting increased 151 percent from ’00 to ’09.” In fact, it was the implementation of the bike lanes on Spruce and Pine streets that has fueled cycling momentum and usable statistics about how lane use changes create 1 p.m. July 30. 932 S.

safer streets. “Upon implementation of buffered bike lanes, reportable automobile accidents dropped 40 percent and fender benders over 15 percent,” the CDC report details. If nothing else, it seems, these sharrows and signs will stoke and curate conversation amongst South Philadelphians. Geoff DiMasi, the founder of P’unk Ave, 1168 E. Passyunk Ave., and co-founder of the Passyunk Square Civic Association, agrees. “It’s a great way to continue that dialogue and to make it clear that it’s something to think about,” he said of the numerous public meetings the CDC conducted to get a sense of what citizens wanted and needed . “I think it’s a really good mindset for us as a city to have – let’s just try it and not sign off on a permanent solution.

And the cyclists are many. “We are flat, we have a grid, a lot of people live within four miles of Center City where a lot of jobs are, and it makes sense to bike to work,” Nicholas Mirra, the communications manager at the BCGP, said. “What we need to do is build the infrastructure to accommodate the existing volume. We’re not building bike lanes in hopes of getting people cycling – we need to build bike lanes to accommodate the cycling that’s already taking place.” South Philadelphia presents unique challenges because its streets are skinny with, typically, parking on both sides of the street. So the buffered bike lanes of Spruce and Pine are almost impossible to implement without taking a ton of parking away. “[The BCGP] was focused on what some good north-south connections so they really focused on design approaches to rethinking 13th and 15th streets,” CDC communications manager Linda Dottor said. The hope is that the sharrows will make these streets “an area where you can have that symbiotic relationship. The idea here is that this is a zone where it’s OK for the bicycle and car to be in the same lane that’s an important distinction to make,” Dottor added. It falls in line with the BCGP’s “Give Respect, Get Respect” campaign that aims to educate all citizens about simple facts of the road. “A lot of people aren’t aware of the rules of the road. It’s illegal for adult cyclists to ride on the sidewalk,” Dannenberg noted. “There’s also an important public education piece that’s necessary in South Philly that, regardless of how you get around, our streets are narrow and you need to be courteous of how we use them,” Marra said.

A Queen Village performer is portraying an Andy Warhol superstar. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

cott McPheeters needs novelty to thrive, with meeting people a captivating component of his curiosity. The 30-year-old is helping to honor a similar seeker of innovation through Sunday, as he and The Bearded Ladies Cabaret are presenting “ANDY: A Popera,” the second stage of their Opera Philadelphia collaboration commemorating Andy Warhol. McPheeters is portraying Candy Darling, one of the artist’s creative colleagues, or superstars, as Warhol dubbed them. “There’s a great amount of vulnerability to her that I can really relate to,” the resident of the 800 block of South Fifth Street said of his character, a trans woman, born James Lawrence Slattery, who appeared in Warhol’s films “Flesh” and “Women in Revolt.” “Just like with Andy, she’s a great study for discussing how much of our identity is real and how much is fabricated.” The Queen Village inhabitant and his peers, including many South Philly dwellers, are offering their look at genuine traits and affectations at The Wilma Theater, with McPheeters making his Bearded Ladies debut. The show, whose genesis came through condensed spring and early summer pop-up performances, including a Bella Vista stop, has morphed into an hourlong effort on its way

Involving the opening of one of Warhol’s time capsules, the piece analyzes the titular figure’s popularity just as much as it addresses one’s search for substance. “It’s relatively episodic in bringing up all these individuals from Warhol’s life,” McPheeters said of the project, which marks his first time dressing in drag. “I think it’s great at making us ponder the air of mystery that certain people possess.” Warhol undoubtedly counts as a polarizing personality in that regard, as many deem him a genius while others jeer him as a joke. McPheeters, who played the pop art pioneer in a couple pop-ups, acknowledges the flattery and the disdain equally and noted that presentation of oneself to an immensely critical world can result in the blurring of one’s identity, something with which Darling also struggled. “Warhol surrounded himself with interesting and cool people,” the likewise social individual said. “Like everybody else, though, they had their issues, and Candy was no exception, as her life definitely had as many downs as ups.” Her existence did indeed, as she succumbed to lymphoma at 29, penning a letter for Warhol and the other superstars that declared “I am just so bored with ev-

erything” and “I wish I could meet you all again.” Short lives always inspire whatmight-have-been discussions, especially concerning those with an artistic bent, yet McPheeters, enamored with exploring how the exterior informs the interior, is not looking for patrons to pity Darling, but to grapple with a question that he and his cohorts are contemplating, “Is immortality worth dying for?” “How much truth do we put out there, and how much are we putting on a show?” he inquired. “Our duty is to discover that.” Somewhat of a late bloomer, McPheeters fell for his field through Headlong Dance Theater, 1170 S. Broad St., which obtained a residency at Dickinson College during his junior year. Having dabbled in theater and musical theater as a high school student, the Maine native scored a senior year internship with the Newbold-situated spot and commenced his crusade to add to Philadelphia’s arts community. “I had thought I wouldn’t want to remain anywhere for more than two years, but I fell in love with this city,” McPheeters, initially a biology and Spanish major at his Carlislebased alma mater, said of courting credits first as a Center City denizen and for the last eight years as a South Philly resident.

2010, reveled in the opportunity to become a guest artist for a project as provocative as “ANDY.” “It’s just been great to grow with them and contribute to their mission,” he said. “I’m a free agent, essentially, so I hope they’ll have me back.” When not enhancing his theatrical craft, McPheeters, also a certified massage therapist, pursues interests in herbal medicine and having just finished a course in the discipline, is looking to concoct remedies with as much care as he is striving to execute notes and steps. No matter how successful his alternative employment becomes, he will continue to seek distinction in his primary profession and is moving on a plan with Subcircle’s overseers to buy a Mainebased farm for conversion into a retreat center. “We would funnel the Philly community through there, for sure,” McPheeters said. “I love it here so much, though, that making a transition there could be very tough even if I split time. Decisions, decisions.” SPR For tickets, visit wilmatheater.org. Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

“It totally sucked me in and exposed me to such an arts boom with enthusiastic young people looking to make great work.” Having heard from personnel at Headlong, for whom he served as assistant production manager for last decade’s “Hotel Pool,” that he would encounter many committed creators, he soon struck up an alliance with Subcircle and persisted, like his peers, despite limited funding and an influx of entities pining for backing. “It’s what I love,” McPheeters said of his diligence. “I know the field has a fragile nature and that many people, including some friends, are going through dilemmas, but I love being active and moving, I love performing and training my body, and I value chances to meet new people. I am never, ever bored.” The profound professional initiated his union with the Bearded Ladies in December and immediately found the members, who have worked with such heavyweights as Eastern State Penitentiary, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Society Hill Playhouse, to be teeming with tenacious commitment to exploring artistic invention, gender and popular culture. Linking up with the troupe at a time when he had been wanting to do more singing, McPheeters, who did a stint with the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus in

LIFESTYLES

On the scene

Moving day for Chhaya n By Tom Conway Columnist

hhaya Café’s, 1823 E. Passyunk Ave., short but substantial move has now entered its final stages with its new location’s opening weekend set for mid-to-late August. As reported by the South Philly Review in February, the move will take the neighborhood cafe only a couple doors down but will nearly doubled capacity from 28 to 55. Construction now appears to be at an advanced stage, as some gorgeous hardwood floors are in place along with large windows opening up on to East Passyunk Avenue, giving it an open air layout. Contrary to the normal slow-ahead approach taken by restaurants on the verge of changing locations, chef/ owner Varnana “V” Beuria recently introduced several new summercentric food and drink items to the menu. Highlighted by the cheesesteak waffle, it also adds breakfast tacos, a summer salad and several beverage options to the current menu. In further anticipation of the move, Chhaya will also be introducing its version of the citywide, Philly’s widely available beer and a shot of bourbon special — offering pourover and a shot of espresso for $4 any day after 2 p.m.. Diners can expect to find their Chhaya favorites still available at the new location with some new items introduced as workers settle in. Always one to offer seasonal options, the chalkboard in front of Chhaya is always worth checking out.

nations by offering local chefs the chance to impress judges Tony Luke Jr. and chef Josh Capon with their mash ups of seemingly incompatible flavors or ingredients. Philly’s winner was chef Ralph Mazzocchi of Ralph’s in Lancaster. He took home the prize with his Angry Ralph’s Lobster Mac and Cheese, a concoction that included white chocolate, white wine and whiskey. The dish is currently available in Reading Terminal Market at Molly Malloy’s, whose chef, Bobby Fisher, was a guest judge on the episode. In related news, Tony Luke Jr. took a break from the show last week to stop by the South Philly Review’s sixth annual Pizza Olympics and put word in for his Whitman neighbors at Flat Iron, 26 E. Oregon Ave. The newly opened bar and grill brought along a frankenfood of its own in a mac and cheese Tony Luke Jr. made pizza that was a a special appear- crowd favorite. ance at last week’s “Frankenfood” airs Pizza Olympics. 10 p.m. Sundays.

Scarduzio spotting Fencing went up last week at 1646-48 S. 12th St,, marking the start of work on Chris Scarduzio’s long-awaited restaurant project. Previously home to the sincemoved Artisan Boulanger Patissier, construction was first approved by the East Passyunk Crossing Zoning Board in 2013, but the building has sat in limbo until now. Scarduzio, who ran the now-closed Table 31 (being converted into Chops) at the Comcast Center, has been vague in previous reports about the concept and has only noted he planned for it to affordable. For that report to hold true, Scarduzio would have to take a sharp turn from the offerings of his previous and current restaurants. Located in Caesars Atlantic City as part of a grand Roman display, his restaurant Mia focuses on Mediterranean and Italian fare at a price point of about $47 per entrée. His most recent, though shortlived, endeavor at Avance attempted to assume the fine-dining mantle of Le BecFin. The notes on the approval from EPX Zoning Board titles the restaurant as East Passyunk Bistro, so it does appear a more low-key experience for South Philly diners is on the way.

Lola (Franka Potente) mastered the title role in the 1998 Tom Tykwer-directed film

in which she is forced to make a mad dash to save her boyfriend.

Five tough heroines n By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ith Scarlett Johansson’s actioner “Lucy” hitting theaters, here’s a look back on other flicks with tough women.

Franka Potente in “Run Lola Run” (1998) Even before “The Matrix,” director Tom Tykwer was redefining electro-pop action with this simple, yet hyperkinetic story of determined Lola (Franka Potente), who needs to dash, on foot, from place to place in order to save her in-debt, mob-involved boyfriend (Moritz Bleibtreau). With a pulsating soundtrack and even animated sequences, the cult hit is proof that behind every man, there’s a steely (and speedy) woman. Angela Bassett in “Strange Days” (1995) From her Oscar-nominated turn in “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” to her recent stint as a voodoo badass on “American Horror Story: Coven,” Angela Bassett has made a career out of her ageless strength and take-no-prisoners attitude. Her assets have arguably never been put to better use than in Kathryn Bigelow’s “Strange Days,” which casts her as a bodyguard and combat specialist amid a turn-of-the millennium nightmare. Bonus: Her character’s name is Mace. Sigourney Weaver in “Aliens” (1986) The ultimate tough heroine and still the best. Few would dispute that Sigourney Weaver’s flame-thrower-, grenadelauncher- and assault-rifle-toting astronaut

changed the game for strong female leads, paving the way for the likes of Angelina Jolie and even Johansson. A choice line (“Get away from her, you bitch!”) certainly didn’t hurt. Renee Jeanne Falconetti in “The Passion of Joan of Arc” (1928) Weaver may have changed the game, but if “tough heroine” is defined by pure endurance, you can’t do better than Renee Jeanne Falconetti’s legendary turn as the devout, yet doomed, Joan in Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 silent masterpiece. Tortured and tried by a jury of pitiless accusers, Joan emits unforgettable expressions of horror and haunting hope, fearing her end but consumed by her faith.

Samantha (Geena Davis) played the heoine in “The Long Kiss Goodnight.”

Geena Davis in “The Long Kiss Goodnight” (1996) In “Thelma & Louise,” Susan Sarandon handled the majority of the female fugitives’ take-charge influence, but “The Long Kiss Goodnight” is Davis’s ballgame. Co-starring Samuel L. Jackson, the movie stars Davis as a happy housewife with amnesia. When her memory returns, she resumes her identity as a contract killer. No soccer today, kids.

Debbie’s Red Beet Salad

Old City offering

njoy some of Philadelphia’s best culinary dishes courtesy of Old City’s inaugural Restaurant Week. The festivities run through Sunday and will feature 28 sites offering lunch and dinner menus for $15, $20 and $35. While the establishments share geography, each has a unique identity complete with flair and fare that surely will not disappoint diners. For more information, visit oldcitydistrict.org/dine/restaurantweek. SPR

alads can be quite boring at times. Wedges of lettuce sit alone on the plate, hoping a friendly tomato or cucumber comes along to soak up a more flavorful display. Those ingredients are regulars to the basic opening dinner scene, but Debbie Robb prefers taking a more seasonal approach with her Red Beet Salad, in which none of the previously mentioned items are included. With beets being in prime form spring through fall, the timing couldn’t be any better to try this recipe out. This offering from the resident of the 300 block of Mercy Street is perfect for an afternoon or evening seating. SPR

pops made vanilla ice cream and covered in orange sherbet. It was so cloyingly sweet, I could not eat it. I kept in mind that Good Stuff Eatery is a fast-food restaurant. The beef used here is good quality, like customers would find at Shake Shack. The prices are spot on for what you get. Since the chain’s flagship restaurant is in Washington, D.C., you will find a Prez Obama burger ($7.25) made with bacon, onion marmalade, Roquefort cheese and horseradish mayo sauce and a Michelle melt ($6.98) made with free range turkey, caramelized onion, Swiss cheese, tomato, (continued from page 25) = Very Good = Extraordinary

bout a year and a half ago, I decided to sample cheeseburgers served throughout the city to determine the five I found most satisfying. I prefer a good, juicy medium-rare burger on a soft bun. My favorite is the one offered at Devil’s Den. Last month, Good Stuff Eatery opened on South 18th Street near Rittenhouse Square. It is owned by chef Spike Mendelsohn and his family. Mendelsohn competed on “Top Chef” in Chicago as well as in the All-Stars competition. His mother is a chef and his grandfathers were butchers. One would think he would know much about beef. Good Stuff Eatery is a funny name for a burger restaurant. Mendelsohn uses buzz words such as natural farm-raised beef and handspun shakes to give patrons the positive impression that this place is not the average fast-food joint. There are a few tables outside and seating upstairs. Mendelsohn says his are hand-crafted burgers. The menu states “Our farmhouse burgers are topped with farm fresh ruby red tomatoes, thinly sliced onion, crisp lettuce and pickles, served on a sweet, buttery soft, freshly baked Pennsylvania Dutch bun with a loving spoonful of Good Stuff sauce.” The farmhouse bacon cheese ($6.95) was prepared with Applewood smoked bacon and dairy fresh American cheese. I took a bite and did not get that pleasurable sensation that usually accompanies a burger. It was too overcooked. I don’t mind American cheese because it melts beauti-

fully, but this offering lacked that marvelous juicy quality I was seeking. However, it was tasty. Those red ripe tomatoes from Jersey and Pennsylvania farms are bursting with flavor, but the one on my burger was pale and anemic. The sauce made the bun a bit soggy. We also tried the Farmhouse burger with caramelized onions ($6.50) and the big stuff bacon meltdown ($8.50). The latter is built with a double burger, bacon, double cheese and the aforesaid condiments served on a sesame seed bun. As in the bacon burger, the sauce made the bun soggy. Spike’s village fries ($3.89) were sprinkled with fresh thyme, rosemary and sea salt. They could have been hotter and crisper but the flavor was there. The portion was big enough to share. There are two beers on draft including a Kelso IPA from Brooklyn ($5), which was fine for the price. It is ironic that my favorite dish at Good Stuff Eatery was the classic wedge salad ($7.49). Immaculately fresh cold iceberg lettuce was chopped into bite-size pieces and topped with scallions, sweet red onion, crumbled Applewood smoked bacon, a generous amount of blue cheese and a fine homemade blue cheese dressing. Since much of its business is takeout, the ingredients are chopped for easy eating should one want to carry it to Rittenhouse Square and lunch in the park. I have not sipped an ice cream float in many years. When I noticed the Creamsicle float ($3.75) childhood memories came back to me. I loved those yummy

Noir’s Slow Roasted Pork Shank with Pork Demi Potato Gnocchi

Happy BirtHday

result of his 1909 E. Passyunk Ave. location run by girlfriend Donnamarie Motto and her cousin Billie Motto. The Canadian-born chef clearly remembers last year’s Car Show and Street Festival in which some 4,000 people strolled the sidewalks looking at the antique and custom autos while enjoying the live music and vibrations. “Last year was a great turnout,” he said. “We usually have street food. [This year] we are going to run specials, have the doors open and may have a two- to threepiece band.” The free-to-attend event, which is taking place from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, is being promoted with the line: “stroll, shop and dine at East Passyunk Avenue’s biggest block party of the year.” June’s Italian National Day Festival and Craft Beer Day was another successful venture for the Noir team. “It was literally insane,” DeCotiis said. “They blocked off our street, and it was our busiest

day ever. It was an unbelievable event.” Many Noir regulars are likely to stroll in Sunday afternoon ready to order the popular Slow Roasted Pork Shank with Pork Demi Potato Gnocchi dish. “People always tell me to bring it back,” the chef, who is sharing the popular recipe, said. “Now we have it all year round.” For the gnocchi first-timers out there, DeCotiis warns “it may be a little tricky.”

Generously season the pork shank with the spice rub, except for the thyme. Sear each shank until golden brown. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan. Add the Photos by Corey Carter demi and fresh thyme. Cover with aluminum foil, and slow roast in the oven for three to four oil. Bake the potatoes until tender, hours. for about 30 to 40 minutes. When the potatoes are cool, g n o c c h I I n g r e d I e n t s : peel and dice the potatoes. Add the eggs, nutmeg and Parmesan, 4 Yukon Gold potatoes Pork IngredIents: and mix well.

A swish wish

An East Passyunk Crossing school graduate is hoping to fulfill his pro hoops dream. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

Recent La Salle University graduate Tyreek Duren wants to be a steady ballhandler and shooter for a professional team. P h o t o P r o v i d e d b y Ty r e e k D u r e n

The newly minTed La Salle alumnus enrolled at the North Philly-rooted institution after having intensified a resurgence at Neumann-Goretti that remains ever potent, constantly dissected and always admired. He helped the Saints to capture two Catholic League crowns and a Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association title, endearing himself to supporters through his diligence to excellence. “Neumann-Goretti, yeah, I’ll never forget the good times here, especially because of how committed everyone was to getting better,” Duren said of the Carl Arrigale-led behemoth, which this season

secured its sixth consecutive parochial plaque. “I think I had great preparation for college and left here feeling pretty good about helping another program to become a force.” Dubbing college “a great learning experience,” he became a model of consistency for the Atlantic-10 constituent, making 129 starts in 132 games and sniping 1,729 points, good for 14th on the Explorers all-time list. Coming from a four-guard set at Neumann-Goretti, he frequently fraternized with La Salle coach Dr. John Giannini in exploring a more up-tempo style that began to yield results during his sophomore season.

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php “For us, it became obvious that we didn’t need big guards; we just needed good ones,” Duren said of keying consistent performances for the Explorers. “It started clicking after a little bit, and I’m happy with the strides that we made.” La Salle, following a lackluster 2010’11 slog, landed a National Invitation Tournament berth two years ago and played hard in a 70-61 opening-round loss to the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. Duren declared the school “got smaller and got better” during his junior season, and fans of the outfit can now look at that as an understatement, as Giannini’s pupils outclassed 24 foes to advance to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. “That’s another set of memories that will last forever,” he said of the remarkable three-victory run, which included his finding Tyrone Garland for a waning-moments bank shot dubbed the “Southwest Philly Floater” to down the University of Mississippi Rebels. “I really thought we’d be back there this year, but it didn’t happen. Still, I can’t hang my head about that because I know the effort was there.” Duren divulged that he held no huge hopes of going in last month’s NBA Draft minus another deep tourney effort and has believed all along his chance to champion his skills and selfless style would come via a summer observation, making the 76ers’ decision that more disheartening. “I’m looking to move on from that, though,” he said. “It was a little rough in the beginning when I had to tell so many people, but I’m praying for the best.” Always feeling as if he has needed to prove himself, Duren can consider himself fortunate for having had opportunities to do just that and realizes that if a team is to take him on as a contributor, he will need to knock down open shots and play steadfast defense. “I’m a Philly guy, so I know what’s expected of me,” the self-aware athlete, who could end up playing overseas, said. “I know I’ll have to make adjustments, but doing all that, and more, is worth a chance not only to get paid to do what I love but to make a team better. I don’t intend to let anything stop me.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

ike many young adults, Tyreek Duren has needed to ramp up resolve in looking to score that first post-college graduation vocation. The 22-year-old product of La Salle University and Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., is striving to prove a proficient marksman for a professional basketball club and is regaining confidence after a setback earlier this month. “No matter what I go through, I’m going to play with an edge and go out there as if I’m the best guy on the court,” the Yeadon dweller said Monday at his East Passyunk Crossing-based secondary education alma mater. “I’m ready for whatever new direction my life will take.” Duren had thought his course would include a sojourn with the Philadelphia 76ers, who invited him to participate in the Las Vegas-situated Samsung NBA Summer League. The organization, however, cut him before play began, leaving the player briefly disappointed but determined to use workouts with Jameer Nelson to enhance estimation of his commitment. “It’s great to have someone to feed off,” he said of the fellow free agent, who, along with Duren, can claim to be among only three Big 5 guards to tally at least 1,500 points, 500 assists and 200 steals, doing his damage for Saint Joseph’s University. “He’s had success in the league [with the Orlando Magic], so he’s a great mentor.” Duren and Nelson initially connected following the former’s freshman year at La Salle and aspire, through Harkum College-located sessions, to continue to court attention. The younger 6-footer believes his collegiate kudos, including three AllBig 5 nods, can win wooers, but he prides himself on his tenacious allegiance to the team dynamic. “I think every good club’s success starts and ends with the guards,” Duren, who this year paced the Big 5 in steals while ranking fourth in assists and fifth in points, said. “Even if it’s not declared that I’m a leader, I intend to be one because I care about how the unit functions as a whole. Right now, I’m staying positive because I know I can help somebody; there’s no offseason for players.”

Holy Spirit, You who make me see everything and who shows me the way to reach my ideals, You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and You, who are in all the instances of my life with me, I, in this short dialogue want to thank you for everything and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. AMEN. Thank You for your love towards me and my loved ones. Pray this prayer three consecutive days straight without asking for your wish. After the third day your wish will be granted. Promise to publish your dialogue as soon as your favor has been granted.
