To the Editor: Well, well, we seem to have quite the discussion going on since Joe Cirella reflected on the “good ol’ days” (July 10) when people did not have to go to college to find meaningful work, but could pick up a trade or work in a factory. Joe and I went back and forth a couple of times, but then Robert Rivera-Amezola chimed in (“Forward thinking,” July 31) with a commentary on how “simplistic” Joe’s vision of days gone by was. In contrast to Joe’s lament about the lack of skilled labor, Robert offered the examples of new immigrant labor and the complaint that too many of them are exploited by the “richest 400 Americans”. Critiquing Robert’s argument, Vincent DiGregorio (“Honestly speaking,” Aug. 7) objected to Robert’s singling out Central American and Southeast Asian immigrants, as if they are more industrious or better skilled than their Italian immigrant neighbors. I think that before we get involved with comparing which

immigrant group has more outstanding workers than another, we should understand that the Industrial Revolution that lured so many to this country in the last century has moved overseas. Yes, we always need skilled craftsman and construction workers, but going without an education to enter a trade does not fly anymore. Apprentice electricians and carpenters still need to fulfill licensing requirements that only come from formal training. Each of these writers has a point, but the fact remains that times change, and workers have to change with them.

hrough an Aug. 6 release, the United States Attorney’s Office declared that former Philadelphia Traffic Court Judge Robert Mulgrew will serve time for bilking the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The announcement comes 11 months after the resident of the 1900 block of South Galloway Street put in a guilty plea to committing mail fraud and filing a false tax return. U.S. District Court Judge Darnell C. Jones also ordered the 56-year-old to pay $199,274 in restitution to the aforementioned body and gave him three years of supervised release and a $200 special assessment. The convicted individual also paid $123,314 in restitution, penalties and interest to the IRS. The verdict stems from an investigation positing that Mulgrew and co-defendant Lorraine Dispaldo, who received an 18-month sentence in November, fraudulently received and misused Pennsylvania state grant funds designed to benefit non-profit groups, U.S. Attorney spokeswoman Patty Hartman said. With respect to Mulgrew, the state designated more than $450,000 to go to the Friends of Dickinson Square, of which he served as vice president, for equipment and materials purchases to maintain the group’s park space, Fourth and Tasker streets, and surrounding neighborhood revitalization. Last week’s explanation stated Mulgrew misrepresented his intentions and used thousands of dollars to pay his relatives and associates. Authorities revealed he supplied DCED false and misleading information to conceal the actual amount of money that went to his kith and kin contrary to the express purposes of the grant. Mulgrew conceded he received almost $70,000 in grant funds for his own uses and improperly reimbursed himself from Friends funds for thousands of expenditures that he incorrectly claimed the group incurred and for his expenditures not authorized under Friends grants. He did not report the additional income from the fraud scheme on his tax return and claimed false business deductions that improperly reduced his tax liability.

The state Attorney General’s Office announced the arrest of a West Passyunk man in connection with a “Grandparent Scam.” Spencer Compas The purported scheme, the details of which authorities announced Aug. 7, involved the taking of at least $162,600 from 11 older adults in eight states. They detained Spencer Compas, of the 2100 block of South Etting Street, and three other individuals for the alleged plot, which they explained included the manipulation of a 77-year-old California man whom they claim the arrestees called and requested $16,600 from to help a relative to post bail and pay attorney fees for a bogus drunk-driving case. An officer posed as a postman to deliver the money to an Olney home and busted Compas when he supposedly took the package. The 29-year-old local had not posted his $1 million bail as of press time and awaits an Aug. 21 preliminary hearing on criminal conspiracy and theft charges.

Older adult attacked

Police are searching for the attacker of a 94-year-old man in Newbold. At 12:58 p.m. Friday, authorities responded to a radio call of a robbery on the 1600 block of Morris Street and met with the complainant, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The older adult told them he had been sitting outside in his wheelchair when an unknown male approached him on a bike, pushed him to the ground and removed $40 from his hand before using his bike to flee westbound on Morris Street. The victim, who suffered a cut on his lip and an abrasion on his right hand, described the man as black, 5-foot-10, 220 pounds and in his mid 20s; and wearing a T-shirt, tan pants and a kufi. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Negative charge The United States Attorney’s Office last week announced charges of a 19-year-old Darby resident in conjunction with a 2013 Point Breeze-situated robbery. Through an Aug. 5-released indictment, the entity named Nasir Traynham as the defendant in six armed incidents, includ-

Vehicular vandals

Point taken An at-large man used a knife to intimidate a driver in West Passyunk. After exiting the CITGO Gas Station at 2101 W. Passyunk Ave. Monday night, the complainant had an unknown male walk up to her vehicle as she attempted to make a right hand turn onto Passyunk Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Fielding his request for change, she turned to retrieve coins from her console yet when she turned back toward him, he had pointed a knife

into her left armpit. Demanding everything in the console, he received her cell phone and wallet, which contained identification, credit and debit cards and $40, before running away, with the uninjured victim last seeing him heading southbound on 22nd Street. She described him as white, 25 to 30 years old, 5-foot-8 and 140 pounds; having blue eyes, a dark tan complexion, blonde dreadlocks and a full beard and mustache; wearing a black shirt with a rainbow on it, khaki cargo shorts; and carrying a lightcolored backpack. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Triple blast Police are searching for the man who shot three people in Point Breeze. At 12:37 p.m. Aug. 7, authorities responded to the area of 20th and Morris streets for a report of gunshots and located a crime scene yet no victims, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Over the next hour, the complainants sought medical attention, with two males arriving via private auto at Methodist Hospital. The first received treatment for a graze wound to his left leg, and the second sustained a gunshot wound to his stomach that required transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. The final victim arrived at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with a graze wound to her left ankle and left after receiving treatment. The complainants told authorities they were near 20th and Morris streets when the violence, for which police have no motive, occurred. They described the shooter as a black male with small dreadlocks; wearing a white T-shirt that partially covered his face; and driving a blue sedan, possibly a Lincoln MKZ. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Domestic devastation Police confirmed the identity of a Lower Moyamensing homicide victim yesterday. On Sunday at 9:20 a.m., 26-year-old Aimee Girard died within a home on the 2400 block of South Hutchinson Street from an unconfirmed amount of gunshots. Authorities also revealed her death occurred as a result of a domestic dispute with 24-year-old William Teves, who committed suicide after the shooting.

Police are searching for two men who commenced a robbery in Hawthorne and concluded it by stealing a man’s car in Center City. At approximately 9:30 p.m. Monday, the complainant was about to enter his 1100-block-of-Kater-Street-situated car when two unknown men approached him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The primary stranger showed him a handgun before rifling through his pockets before the aggressor’s accomplice inspected the automobile. The males had the driver take them to the TD Bank at Broad and Sansom streets, where they forced him to withdraw money from an ATM. The lead offender then instructed him to drive them to Juniper and Drury streets, Tolliver said, and ordered him to leave once they arrived. He did so and flagged down police at 13th and Sansom streets. The offenders made off with his 2004 Pontiac Grand Am sedan, license plate number JMJ-8530; keys; $300; wallet; identification; a Nike watch and a Sprint cell phone. He described the first as black, 25 to 30 years old, 6 foot; having a thin build, a medium complexion, low short cut hair, thin goatee and mustache and stubble on sides of face; and wearing a white short sleeve T-shirt with red writing on the front, black sweat pants with white stripes on the sides; and armed with a silver and black semi-auto handgun. A detailed description of the other suspect was not available at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

parade route continued from page 1 but the tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. It does not say protect the march from Oregon [Avenue] to City Hall — we have to protect the art of Mummery. Mummery has got to live on in Philadelphia.” Loomis is just hopeful that his grandchildren will be marching and not longingly looking at photos and recordings and saying “This is what poppy used to do.” The concern is real. While Mummer presidents were clear that South Broad turnout near Oregon Avenue (and Shunk and Porter streets) tends to be strong, they also assert that the parade has seen many healthier moments. However, if attendance along South Broad between Washington and Snyder avenues is a barometer for the parade’s health, Mummery is in trouble. Rusty Martz, the president of the Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St., remembers marching down Broad in the 1960s and ’70s to much fuller and enthusiastic crowds. “I marched myself with the Golden Sunrises. I’ve seen years when we’d walk past South Philadelphia High School and the sidewalks were packed,” Martz recalled. ‘Now, no one’s there.” Whether or not the parade could use a little refashioning doesn’t seem to be what South Philadelphians are concerned about. They’re worried that South Philly, where Mummery was born, is being taken out of the parade. Phone calls have been made. Comments have been left. Facebook groups have been started. “People in general don’t like change,” Martz noted, “and that’s what you’re hearing.” A few published reports have yielded hundreds of commenters offering their two cents. “Why not have the parade in the place it belongs, ONLY in South Philly?”

one protestor asked. “Start it on Oregon and end it at Washington [Avenue]. Give it a place where it belongs just like our other parades. You can’t stop honoring a neighborhood’s history just because some new people have moved in,” they argue. The changing dynamic of South Philadelphia, especially between Washington and Snyder avenues, is certainly a factor in the parade’s attendance numbers. Richie Porko, the president of the Comic Division, has been in the parade for 55 years. And he’s seen the shift happen firsthand. “What we’re trying to do is get people to come back to the parade. And contrary to misbelief, the demographic of South Broad Street east and west of South Broad, has changed considerably,” Porko said. “The neighborhoods that are there now really don’t care about the Mummer tradition and don’t understand what we represent. I can’t blame them.” n Fumo Family Branch: Civics Course 2 to 5 p.m. Aug. 14 and 19; Makeand-Take Crafts 11 a.m. and Film Friday 2 p.m. Aug. 15; Sleepy-time Stories 10 a.m. and LEGO Club 2-3:30 p.m. Aug. 16; Movie Monday 6 p.m. Aug. 18; Storytime and Music for Toddlers 10 a.m. and Teen Crafts 2 p.m. Aug. 19; Italian Film Festival 12:45 p.m., Garden Storytimes at the South Philadelphia High School Garden (2101 S.

One Of the issues that’s plagued the parade’s success is the herky-jerky nature of the spread out performances, causing stressed-out Mummers anticipating their final judgment in Center City. The new plans seeks to get judging done early (both inside and out of the Convention Center) and, for the first time in years, encourage fancies, comics and wenches to fill gaps between string band performances, creating a fuller flowing parade. “All we want to do is make the parade better,” Jim Julia, president of the Philadelphia Mummers Fancy Brigade Association, said. “We want it around for another 114 years, and you won’t do that by just doing the same thing and expecting things to change. The worst thing that you can do is get so steeped in tradition that you don’t see it’s failing.” That may be exactly the problem with loads of South Philadelphians crying foul Learn with iPad Classes for Children: Tell Me A Story 11 a.m., E-Gadget Helpdesk 3 p.m., Make Thursdays 3:30 p.m., Pecoross’ Mother and Her Days: PAAFF Official Pre-Film Festival Screening 6 p.m. and Trivia Challenge with Bob 6:45 p.m. Aug. 14; Parkway Central Library Tour 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Aug. 16; Baby and Toddler Storytime 11 a.m. and DivaNation Jazz Showcase 7 p.m. Aug 18; Legalities of Nonprofit Fundraising 10 a.m., Children’s Storytime 11 a.m. and Teen Tuesdays 3:30 p.m. Aug. 19; Illustrated Wednesdays: Creators Club 3:30 p.m. and Weckerly’s Ice Cream 6 p.m.

Broad St. However, the revelry will certainly continue on Second Street after the parade, and there’s nothing stopping brigades from heading east after they’ve reached Washington Avenue. The “Keep the Mummers Struttin’ in South Philly” Facebook community page has residents claiming the northbound parade shift is like taking Mardi Gras off Bourbon Street or that local businesses will suffer greatly. Porko was interviewed by Channel 6 last week and at the end of the interview, he said “All I ask is ‘Give it a try.’ What could it hurt? If it doesn’t work then we have to go back to the drawing board. We’re in hospice now.” The new plan may also call for jumbotron TV monitors to simulcast the parade at at least two locations, but details won’t be firmed up until September. The Mummers themselves, it’s worth noting, pour thousands of their own dollars into sets, costumes, makeup and props, but the parade is still greatly funded by the City (including staffing police up and down the route). Porko also puts things in perspective, noting that if so many people care so deeply about the parade being in South Philly, where have they been for the past 10 years? “We call it The Valley of Loneliness,” he joked, characterizing the emptiness in some sections where “all you see along the route are cops.” Loomis hopes that, if the parade is a success this coming New Year’s Day, that the Mummers will have no choice but to extend the route into South Philly. “It’s emotional. Show us that there’s that many people who want to see us,” he said. “Pack the streets so much that next year we have to stretch it down to Sndyer Avenue.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

rising stars Full Ride Provided

cademy Park High graduate and resident of the 1400 block of South Taylor Street Nahkera Ffrench embarks on her collegiate journey to East Stroudsurg University with a full scholarship and a decorated scholastic career. During her four years, Nahkera performed as an Honor Roll student while accumulating a 4.0 grade point average. Her impressive academic pedigree earned her National Honor Society membership. Even with admirable dedication to her academics, Nahkera took part in a number of extracurriculars. The 18-year-old Grays Ferry resident was a member of Academy Park’s basketball team and tutored her peers Nahkera Ffrench after school. She intends to study medicine with a focus on pediatrics and childbirth. “Nahkera is a hard worker, and I’m proud to call her part of my family,” nominator Rob Wilbowe said. “She’s going to go far.”

Sister acts

rom a young age, Kylie Gibson has taken personal afflictions and turned them into aspirations. After the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis of her mother, Kylie admitted her wishes to become a psychologist when she grows up “to help kids like her overcome their troubles.” The 14-yearold looks to follow her dream by aiming to enroll at Stanford University after her high school career. While helping with the care of her mother, the impending String Theory High School for the Arts & Sciences freshman continues excelling in all subjects but holds a special affinity for writing. Nominator Dana R. Smith, her

n s o u t h p h i l l y r ev i ew.c o m

former teacher at Easy Passyunk Crossing’s St. Anthony of Padua Regional Catholic School, 913 Pierce St., said “Her skills in writing along with her creativity bring forth memorable publications” about the young talent. The 2500-block-of-South-Second-Street dweller also was a dedicated cheerleader during her time at St. Anthony. Besides that background, Kylie has been a devoted dancer at Jason Douglas DanceAdelphia, 1100 Snyder Ave., since a very young age. With the aspiring psychologist’s bright future ahead, it would be easy to be conceded, but every individual who comes into contact with her describes Kylie as a beautiful, pleasant and thoughtful young woman.

Griffin Koesnadi

tor, Dale Perkins, reports that “Griffin’s teachers consider him to be one of the most civil, respectful and helpful students in the school.” The rising eighth grader plans to pursue his passion for technology at either Drexel University of the University of Pennsylvania. Perkins says he was amazed by how fast Griffin took to the English language: “As his ESOL teacher, I have rarely seen an English Language Learner student make such rapid progress. Griffin demonstrates outstanding academic, social and leadership potential for someone new to our country.”

Shaina Gibson

Shaina Gibson likewise demonstrates exactly what it means to be a difference maker. She will start her eighth grade year this fall at St. Anthony of Padua and is very involved with her school and church, playing on its basketball team and being an altar server for St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, 910 Watkins St. Although her mother’s sickness saddens her, Shaina keeps a positive attitude and helps her matriarch by recalling happy memories. She also dances at Jason Douglas DanceAdelphia and is always available to devote her time to volunteering and other endeavors. Her dream is to become a criminal investigator when she grows up, with Temple University as her current college of choice. Smith addressed the girls’ positive demeanor and affection for their mother by saying “I do not remember a time when they didn’t have a smile on their faces. Even in times of darkness, these girls bring forth not only the light within themselves, but also the light within others.”

art of what makes Griffin Koesnadi’s success so remarkable is that he came to the United States three years ago from Indonesia. With a straight-A average and some of the highest scores in math, science and computer classes at Fell School, 900 W. Oregon Ave., this resident of the 2400 block of South Percy Street has a bright future. Griffin came to Fell with very little English language skills but has mightily improved and earned himself a great reputation not only for his scholarship but for his class-based class. All of his teachers note his reliability with helping other students who are struggling in the classroom. His nomina-

utstanding may not begin with the first letter of the alphabet, but in the eyes of nominator Deanna Rey, the word is very fitting when describing her former Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School, 2407 S. Broad St., second-grader Alexander Mattei. The 8-year-old’s ’13-14 school year included earning straight A’s in all of academic classes while receiving first honors in a variety of arts classes. As the resident of the 1400 block of South Broad Street prepares to enter the third grade, he brings the experience of being part of the advanced reading group and the extra library commitment. Outside of the classroom, he plays for the PPACS basketball team with dreams of becoming a pro football player. No matter how his future unfolds, Rey only sees positives when describing this Rising Star. “He was such a pleasure to have in class,” Rey said. “I could only hope to have another student like Alex in my future teaching years.”

Worth waiting for

efforts certainly caught the attention of nominator Nicole McGeary, who described the pupil as a “well-rounded wonderful student with a positive attitude about life and learning.” The all-around efforts expand beyond the classroom walls, as she was cast in the school musical “West Side Story,” is a serious violinist and a member of the Musicopia Organization. Being able to balance academics with steady activities will come in handy should Julia decide one day to pursue a career in the medical field. Despite the initial setback, Julia has found her comfort zone. “Julia excels academically and is a model student for all her peers,” McGeary said. “She has a willingness to assist in the classroom and help others when they need it. Julia deserves to be recognized for all of her hard work.”

Akeelah Moore

niversal Vare Charter School, 2100 S. 24th St., first grader Akeelah Moore is making strides at a young age. She was reading at a first-grade level while in kindergarten and knows the alphabet back and forth. This Rising Star from the 2700 block of Tree Terrace volunteers at her grandfather’s church, where she helps to make food and wrap Christmas gifts. The 6-year-old also enjoys assisting with the Vare Charter garden. Akeelah still has plenty of time to ponder future endeavours, but it seems helping people with asthma could just be the thing that puts a smile on her face. “Akeelah is an outstanding student and helpful community member,” nominator Samantha Goldman said.

Presidential appeal

ulia Miller was hoping to get into Center City-based Julia R. Masterman as a fifth grader, but instead started the Julia Miller year on the waiting list. Her spot opened up a few days later, and the now 12-year-old has been prospering ever since. This Rising Star from the 2700 block of South Smedley Street has skyrocketed towards the top of her class as a member of the National Junior Honors Society in which leadership, service and character make up the criteria. The soon-to-be seventh grader’s standout

olding the duals positions of senior class president and National Honor Society president of NeumannGoretti, Mackenzie Otto demonstrates extraordinary leadership characteristics as a scholar and as a humanitarian. Aside from her marvelous merit, maintaining a grade point average of 3.7, which includes four honors courses, the 17-year-old is composed of other versatile talents through participation in the Foreign Language Club and Ambassadors Club. She even tutors international students of the East Passyunk Crossing school. The resident of the 1800 block of South Second Street expresses her creative side through the art club, yearbook club and WSNG news. Believe it or not, this active individual still reserves time and energy to volunteer with the Catholic Youth Organization Sports and Community Service Corps. Last month, she participated in the prestigious Notre Dame Summer Scholars Program. Nominator Kevin Cassidy Jr. has nothing but praise for this Rising Star. “It is my belief the student body made an excellent choice voting her as their leader. She embodies everything that is great about Neumann-Goretti,” he said.

Mackenzie Otto

essica Pasquarello hasn’t graduated high school, but the to-be NeumannGorretti senior is making freelance contributions for Philadelphia RowHome Magazine and the Philadelphia Inquirer. Earlier this summer, she earned a full scholarship for the Notre Dame Summer Scholars Pre-College Program Academically, the resident of the 2400 block of South Clarion Street is a Raising Star at the top of her game, having been ranked No. 1 in her class every year. Add perfect SAT scores in reading and writing, and it’s no wonder why Kevin Cassidy Jr. felt this 17-year-old, who is an active member of the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association, was worthy of a nomination. Her career Jessica Pasquarello focus seems to be on journalism which she plans to study at the universities of Maryland, Southern California and Florida, among others, schools with goals of becoming a news anchor for a station such as ESPN or a writer. She certainly has the mindset to make it happen. “Jessica is a student carrying an extraordinary 99 overall average who also finds time to contribute to various extracurricular and volunteer activities,” Cassidy said.

abrielle McCain’s an honored scholar and alumnus of Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., and she’s earned the respect of her nominator by persevering through domestic unrest. The resident of the 2000 block of McKean Street is determined to push her potential past her former Point Breeze high school’s boundaries. Despite losing her father at 15 and experiencing a couple uprooting moves, Gabrielle maintained a 3.0 gradepoint-average and often received quarterly honors. The esteemed student Gabrielle McCain has also earned praise for her athletic contributions to the cheerleading squad at Audenried and volunteering for the Red Cross of America blood drive. Gabrielle has her heart set on a nursing degree and plans to start the journey at the Community College of Philadelphia in the fall. Support for her post-secondary education has come primarily from herself with little to no support for her ambitions starting at home, and that inspires many of her educators. “This young lady could have easily given up. She continues to strive for excellence and make her own path towards success,” Audenried counselor Nichola Thompson said. “She is a diamond in the rough and should be commended for overcoming barriers in her life. She is an intelligent young lady, and I am certain she will become the registered nurse she desires to be.”

rising stars Nimble with numbers

Dominique Pearsall

hile the slight on most American-born students stems from ineptitude in mathematics, Dominique Pearsall casts aside the stereotype. The resident of the 1600 block of Annin Street not only is proficient in math, he thrives on numerical riddles. Susan Hicks, his most recent teacher at Calvary Temple Christian Academy, describes her student’s digit-derived delight by saying “Dominique loves numbers and catches on quickly to new Math concepts.” Although arithmetic adventures appeal to the impending Calvary Temple seventh grader, he is a well-rounded student who performs outstandingly in all subject matters. Dominique would also like to be an actor when he grows up, where his outgoing and funny personality would shine through. There are no jokes when athletics are involved, though. The 12-year-old earned a trophy for his baseball performance and an excellence award for a tournament in Taekwondo. He even lists his Taekwondo grandmaster as one of his role models for his continued guidance and approach for helping Dominique hone his skills.

Sadie Sprague-Lott

adie Sprague-Lott is known by peers and teachers as a widely developed talent, with the resident of the 700 block of South Ninth Street boasting a tremendous grade-pointaverage at Science Leadership Academy by accumulating mostly A’s in her core academic courses. Nominator Zoe Siswick described her interaction with teachers by quoting a colleague who said “Sadie is incredibly intelligent, self-motivated and diligent. When she comes to class, I can

n s o u t h p h i l l y r ev i ew.c o m

rely on Sadie to be 100 percent focused and to participate actively.” Sadie also performs well during extracurricular activities, serving as the captain of the SLA volleyball and softball teams during the ’13-’14 school year. In addition to her eclectic skills, the impending senior possesses outstanding social consciousness, as she fights for the public school system by attending rallies, sharing information and advocating equality. The Bella Vista resident additionally interns with Parent United for Public Education. The perception of Sadie shows a young adult with high aspirations, but there is a deeper struggle. She has encountered hardships over the past years with the death of her mother from cancer and multiple losses within her family. The hardships could wither the strongest people, but Siswick affirms her strength. “Despite this (difficulty), Sadie is a force to be reckoned with,” she said. “She dedicates herself to something- from school to athletics to social justice- and commits herself 110 percent.”

All business

akani Thornhill possesses the constant ability to show up but not only is she present, the resident of the 2300 block of South Bonsall Street prospers during her time in the classroom. While preserving perfect attendance, the eighth grader at Universal Vare Charter School thrives in her studies. She maintained a 3.8 grade point average for the ’13-’14 school year and earned recognition for outstanding behavior throughout her tenure. Though the soon-to-be13-year-old succeeds in her marks, her attributes are most striking. NomiMakani Thornhill nator Denise Swygert Huzzy affirms “(Makani) exhibits great leadership qualities, is very dependable, driven and highly creative.” The West Passyunk resident also has participated in an assortment of after school activities. She is a part of the school’s student government, participates in the FAST Program Youth Partnership and is a softball player. She also helps with Vare’s pantry and after school program. The potential of this impending teenager is unfathomable, with her entrepreneurial spirit as a one-stop event planner and aspirations to attend Harvard University Business School.

Tith’s pith A recent graduate of Universal Audenried Charter High School, Monica Tith will be attending Neumann University in the fall. While at Audenried, she was an honor roll student, registering a 3.76 overall grade-point-average. Monica was also involved in numerous extracurricular endeavors and was on the track and field team for all four

years at her Grays Ferry alma mater. The 18-year-old resident of the 1900 block of South 18th Street was also a photography intern while attending high school. She is not sure what she wants to do as a career, but taking classes at Neumann may clarify what she may be interested in. Her nominator, Larry Aniloff, summed up her personality and demeanor: “She has a very positive and engagMonica Tith ing personality and has been an excellent student who has participated in many school activities.”

Tireless multi-tasker Many students either test well or earn good grades, but Cheryl Zhang, a recent graduate of F. Amedee Bregy School, 1700 Bigler St., shows both attributes. The impending Academy at Palumbo freshman was a straight-A student for all marking periods and scored Advanced on the Math and Reading Pennsylvania System of School AsCheryl Zhang sessment. Nominator Lisa Bronco says “(Cheryl) is a highly motivated, active learner who would like to learn other languages.” While being a first generation Chinese American, the resident of the 2800 block of South 16th Street balances time between standard school and Chinese instruction, as she is learning how to read and write the Asian language. With her academic potential knowing no bounds, the 14-year-old shows interest in elite colleges such as Oxford University, the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University, where she would like to be either a lawyer or interior designer. During her time at Bregy, Cheryl participated in an assortment of extracurricular activities. She spread her free time out enough to be part of a chess club, after school peer tutoring, the school newspaper and the Drexel Math and Engineering team. Through her interests, Cheryl has won multiple awards, including third place in a state chess tournament, a Reading Olympics first prize and a medal for science and art competitions. The teenager also plays the clarinet and piano as demonstrations of her multifaceted abilities. SPR Text by Bill Chenevert, Joe Fontanazza, Bill Gelman, Grace Maiorano, Joseph Myers and Joe Tressa.

A West Passyunk dweller will host five shows at a notable comedy venue. Review Managing Editor

o matter how much success he will have telling jokes, Darryl Charles never figures to heckle his humility, as he sees himself as “just a guy looking to be a part of a community that appreciates laughter.” The 32-year-old will assist that entity’s emergence tonight through Saturday by hosting five Helium Comedy Club shows. “I love trying to fit in with the scene, which is all about being honest and true to myself,” he said of his quest for chuckles and cheers. “Philadelphia is a great location for sharing that vibe, and Helium is especially good at channeling it.” The affable individual, who resides in West Passyunk with Lori, his wife of three years and contributor to their turf’s neighbors association, has generated a genial relationship with the Center City-situated haven, including making four finals, from five appearances, in its Philly’s Phunniest competition. He has handled hosting duties periodically since 2011 and will welcome to the stage Kevin Nealon, of “Saturday Night Live” fame, after delivering his personal experience-heavy material. “I make observations from my life and try to extrapolate them to broader topics,” Charles said of his shtick, including a well-received bit on traveling

LIFESTYLES

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Why

hen something puzzles me, I always try to find out why it is so. For example, I could understand if legislators from the western part of Pennsylvania were indifferent to Philadelphia, but why outright hostility? I hear rumors a state representative from Elk County actually gets severe gas cramps every time he tries to say the word “Philadelphia.” I am OK with anyone from rural Pennsylvania getting gas cramps so long as they don’t add to air pollution. My problem is when their legislators won’t bother even to vote on whether we in our city can enact a cigarette tax to help fund our public schools. You are probably wondering why Philadelphia has to depend on the permission of legislators who, if they had their druthers (what the hell are “druthers” anyway) wouldn’t set foot in this city if they were promised a night with one of the Daily News Sexiest Singles (OK, so maybe that’s a reach). Harrisburg has done such a great job of running Philadelphia schools that it is only fair that it tells us when to wipe our fannies and how much we can tax cigarettes. It leads me back to wondering about the source of the hostility of Pennsylvania legislators toward Philadelphia. My crack research team (they depend on crack to do their research) found out that every one of these hostile legislators has eaten a bad cheesesteak at one time or another in their lives and holds a grudge against our city. My suggestion to them is to try a roast pork with provolone and long hots on a good roll, and then by all means, get over it. A bunch of us were sitting around on the top deck of our swim club the other day discussing why drinking has always appealed to us a lot more than swimming. Someone mentioned the way tropical cocktails always seem to come with a tiny paper umbrella. That got us to thinking about the origin of the tiny umbrellas. I suggested that perhaps back in the day someone had been caught in a rainstorm while drinking a mai tai and reacted by hoisting an umbrella to protect the cocktail. Since it is not possible to honor that occasion by putting a regular sized umbrella in a cocktail, the practice of a tiny paper umbrella was born. The reaction around the rest of the table was if you served a large enough drink, you could certainly place a real umbrella in it. Sev-

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

eral folks offered the opinion that the idea of serving larger drinks had its advantages over shrinking the size of the umbrella. We ended our conversation concluding that paper umbrellas in mai tais would remain one of the imponderables of life. This led us to a discussion of fine dining. I like good food served in good restaurants. What I don’t crave is the server taking 10 minutes to narrate a story about the ingredients I am about to devour, all the while my fork is poised in midair. Call me crude, but I don’t care that the corn I am about to eat was grown in a small farm in Lancaster and delivered to the chef as I was entering the restaurant, or that the fish was flown in from the Mediterranean in business class. Lacking culture, I care not that the mashed potatoes are shaped like the Coliseum in Rome. Barbarian that I am, I just want the food to taste good and to be able to eat it while it is still hot. If I want the story behind the meal, I’ll visit the Food Network. I am puzzled by the mayor’s indifference toward Councilman-at-Large James Kenney’s bill, passed by council, to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana in Philadelphia. The mayor is taking longer to sign the measure into law than it takes to get bad cops off our police force. If signed into law, police would merely issue a $25 ticket for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana and after the fine was paid, the charge would be expunged from the offender’s record. The benefits are obvious. Such a law would free up police to go after real criminals, it would also free up our jails (current law mandates custodial arrest-— handcuffs and a night in jail), and keep pot smokers from having a possibly life-changing criminal offense on their records. Some cynics would also point out that signing the bill into law also holds out the prospect of opening a new era in ticket fixing in Philadelphia for the well-connected. No one went so far as Republican Councilman Dennis O’Brien, who, in opposing the bill, claimed it would result in more assaults on police officers. He has obviously witnessed pot users assaulting chocolate brownies and is drawing irrelevant conclusions. Either that or he is still using the movie “Reefer Madness” on which to base his assumptions. With it all, while the mayor dawdles and dreams of his next global adventure to promote Philadelphia business (I strongly suggest a Viking cruise), the police are busy arresting pot users and, no doubt, keeping us safe from running out of chocolate brownies. Maybe the mayor’s opposition is rooted in Kenney being the originator of the bill? Either that or he likes brownies too much. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson) earned a cult following with an abrasive but entertaining personality in “Pulp Fiction.”

Seniors in act-ion n By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ith “The Expendables 3” opening tomorrow, here are five acting veterans who can still hack it like pros.

Liam Neeson Neeson was always a formidable actor, but the revenge thriller “Taken” cemented his rebirth as a bona fide action superstar, despite being over the hill. Now 61, he’s since appeared in the “Taken” sequel, “Non-Stop,” and “The Grey,” and will be back this fall in “A Walk Among the Tombstones.” It helps that Neeson brings some true thespian chops to a genre that’s starved for them, but it’s his signature scowl that keeps viewers hooked.

played a washed-up musician (in “Crazy Heart”) and a Coen Brothers loser (in “The Big Lebowski ”) with equal aplomb. And he’s never shown fewer signs of slowing down. Jeremy Irons At 65, Irons hasn’t only retained his rigor as an actor, he’s also kept his sophisticated sex appeal intact. Known for everything from “Die Hard: With a Vengeance” to TV’s “The Borgias,” he has always succeeded in staying relevant and potent. As we speak, he’s filming “Batman vs. Superman” as Alfred. Samuel L. Jackson Jackson, 65, could reprise his role as Jules in “Pulp Fiction,” and we wouldn’t even know that two decades have passed. Jackson is as much of a badass now as he was when he was spouting Bible verses with a Jheri curl, and moreover, he doesn’t look much different. He’s had his fun in genre films like “The Avengers,” but the flick that reminded us of his clout was another Quentin Tarantino triumph, “Django Unchained.”

Stellan Skarsgård His son Alexander may be the one getting more attention these days, but SkarsJohn Ottway (Liam Neeson) defends al- gård, 63, has an unfazed spirit that would lies from bloodthirsty adversaries in “The put him right at home on a randy show Grey.” like “True Blood.” The Swedish actor isn’t always dashing into the fray (he often has Jeff Bridges people for that), but he won’t shy away He’s had some recent duds like from something like “Nymphomaniac” “R.I.P.D.,” but the inimitable Bridges has either. SPR paid his dues enough to earn a few getout-of-jail-free cards. Currently starring Comment and see the trailers for this week’s in the long-awaited adaptation of “The movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-enterGiver,” this 64-year-old Oscar winner has tainment/movies.

am not sure why chef Paul Martin came to Philadelphia, but I am sure glad he did. He brought tasty authentic Louisiana cooking to Queen Villagebased Catahoula, Strangelove’s and now Mamou. He grew up in Lafayette, La. When The Corner, on South 13th Street, closed for renovations, it was christened Mamou in honor of the small town outside Lafayette. The interior has few changes. The white trim around the room is now a tantalizing red, but the soft lighting and great music on the sound system prevail. Bring on Ray Charles. I did not know happy hour was in full swing until our server told us there were three wines ($5 a glass) available along with several appetizers. A glass of French Champagne put me in the proper mood in order to enjoy party-in-the-mouth Cajun fare. Edward sipped a martini ($9) made with Gordon’s gin. Crawfish fritters ($6 at happy hour) were fried to a crisp golden brown on the outside and creamy inside. They were served on a pool of ravigote sauce that I suspect contained some Creole mustard. Caper berries were added for a bit of salt. Pimento cheese ($5 at Happy Hour) is a staple throughout the South. Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and minced pimentos were whipped into a smooth spread, placed in a glass jar and served with pickled vegetables (hello, okra) along with homemade cornmeal crackers. The little wooden spoon reminded me of the ones one would get with a Dixie cup of ice

cream. Fried oysters are another hallmark of Southern fare although Philadelphians have loved them since Colonial times. Martin’s version ($11) was a triumph. He carefully fried about eight bite-size oysters and set them on a sauce. It was a cream sauce laced with Pernod, bits of tasso, a ham that hails from Louisiana, some tomato for sweetness and topped it off with microgreens. Martin has an amazing hand when making smooth well-balanced sauces for all his dishes. If there is one dish people identify with New Orleans and most of Southern Louisiana, it is gumbo. Martin’s roux is the color of dark walnut. It is rich, hearty and thickened with file. I’ve tried his duck gumbo, but this one was made with chicken and andouille sausage for brightness of flavor. The stock was homemade and tasted slightly smoky. A timbale of perfectly cooked long-grain rice sat in the center of the gumbo. At $6 a cup, it easily served two. The large bowl made for easy enjoyment. There are a number of recipes for spoon bread in the South, but its base is always cornmeal. It is more akin to a pudding. Sometimes it puffs up like a soufflé. The chef’s spoon bread ($5) consisted of a classic recipe with eggs, seasonings and yellow cornmeal that he baked in a casserole and then cut into squares. The individual cast-iron skillet was smoking hot as was the spoon bread. It had a slight sear on the bottom, and all it required was a sprinkle of salt. A glass of chardonnay ($5 at happy hour) and a can of Sly Fox pilsner ($3

at Happy Hour) went well with a shrimp po’boy and red snapper entrée. There is a special soft Italian-like bread in New Orleans that serves as the vessel for fried catfish, oysters or shrimp. I opted for the fried rock shrimp ($12) that consisted of a pile of small sweet shrimp, perfectly seasoned and fried. The bread was first covered in remoulade, the classic sauce for this sandwich, the shrimp were placed inside and topped with lettuce and juicy red ripe tomatoes. I enjoyed the homemade potato chips included on the plate. My only negative comment was Martin toasted the bread, which imparted an unpleasant texture to my taste. Gulf red snapper ($25) was Southern Louisiana on a plate. It was seasoned and seared before it met the uncommonly good smooth sauce that added flavor and texture. It was a fricassee of crawfish to which a confit of leeks was added, some small heirloom cherry tomatoes and a puree of butter beans. The leeks were cooked to an almost melted consistency that brought out their sweetness. The fish was perfectly seared and not one bit overcooked. For those who love the food of Southern Louisiana, Mamou, which offers outdoor dining and a roof deck, is for you. Three-and-a-half tips of the toque to Mamou. SPR

many pastimes during the period, including observing the city’s frequently gray skies. Fortunately for local lovers of comfort food, the 43-year-old revels in being a hunger halter, too, a role that he perfects at Sam’s Morning Glory Diner, 735 S. 10th St. “This is a great area for food, so I’m happy to be here to contribute to that vibe,” the Point Breeze dweller said of his stint at the Bella Vista eatery, which derives its name from owner Carol Mickey’s daughter Sam. “It’s had a great influence on my cooking identity, for sure.” Cooper initiated that existence as a child who gained insight mainly from his mother and grandmother, with public television shows rounding out his triumvirate of influences. Having held a variety of culinary-related positions, he has loved perfecting a kitchen-

based existence bent on providing healthy and wholesome breakfast and lunch options, with Saturday and Sunday serving exclusively as brunch occasions. Once a special but now a regular item because of its immense popularity, his Monkey French Toast enlivens teeth and taste buds through its use of thick cut challah bread and two fruit selections. “It’s a really fun creation that won’t overextend anyone to make,” Cooper said of the anytime request. “We’re very big on making everything in house, and that comes through with this, especially through the caramel sauce.” The content cook, who keeps his cool on excessively busy days through meditation, loves that he can connect with diners by delivering high-quality dishes, with the French toast sure to lighten the mood as patrons unite to feast and

enlighten one another. “I really like the combicombi nation of ingrediingredi ents,” Cooper said. “It’s French toast; it’s supposed to be fun and flavorful.”

IngredIents: 4 pieces of thick cut challah bread Half of a banana 2 tablespoons of chopped mango 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce Whipped cream and powdered sugar, for topping

“If you can resist David Meneses’ Mexican pans dulces — poufy conchas, chocolate-dipped donuts so big a rapper could outfit them with rims — his Italian-style loaf is a surprise find. It’s as long as a baseball bat, thoroughly crusted in sesame seeds and has a pillow-like softness...” Review from Adam Erace, City Paper, 5/29/14

A Marconi East pitcher gained two victories at a New York-situated showcase. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

unit, yielding one earned run in a victorious complete game effort that included eight more strikeouts. “It was amazing to put up those numbers against such great players,” Joseph said of his time in the limelight, which ended after his team’s championship loss to the South constituents. “I didn’t put any pressure on myself because when I go out, I want to focus on the good that can occur.” The

has honed

knowledge of diamond-situated feats for most of his life, even mastering the Phillies’ starting lineup at 2. He took up T-ball nearly two years later through the Southeast Youth Athletic Association, Seventh and Bigler streets, and commenced his DV journey at 5. “Early on, he would watch games and be in a trance,” Messina said of his son. “He showed such great enthusiasm for observing that I had a feeling would translate into a passion for playing.”

pro sports at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php With the success of others surrounding him, Joseph proved a proficient pupil in learning how to master opportunities and began to excel in his main role as a pitcher. He eventually teamed up with other local devotees of diamond distinction to form a formidable DV Senators incarnation whose successes include a ninth-place finish in the aforementioned 32-team Cooperstown event, two Kingsway Knights Tournament conquests and April’s run to the Swedesboro, N.J.-based Spring Fling Tournament crown. “I think my evolution all comes down to being able to play with the same guys,” Joseph said. “That really helps me to be better at going out there and applying myself.” He especially benefited from those bonds this season, as DV competed in American Legion prep play. In 46 innings, he surrendered only two earned runs and 14 hits and registered an astounding 76 strikeouts in compiling an 8-0 record. The local athletes finished fourth out of 12 teams in legion play, which Joseph and his father reasoned will set them up nicely for junior legion action. “We’ve been at this for so long that we always expect so much from ourselves,” he said of how he and his teammates, who began fall ball preparation this week, use their achievements to aspire to add more merit. As his New York adventure makes apparent, Joseph knows that though scouts and other observers, such as high schools hoping he will not look to add to Neumann-Goretti’s winning legacy, will likely continue to woo him, he must retain his humility and maximize his talent not only for his glory but for that of whoever wears the same jersey as he. That notion especially registers with him when he ponders his present peers. “It’s great to play in showcases and all that,” Joseph said. “However, you have to think back to where you started from. I’m proud to represent this area because so many great players have come out of here. I would love to play college ball, too. Wherever my skill set will take me, I’ll be happy.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

oseph Messina derives pride from consummately committing himself to his academic responsibilities and athletic duties. The 13-year-old soon will tend to the former as an eighth grader at Our Lady of Hope Regional Catholic School, 1248 Jackson St., and looked after the latter Aug. 2 to 4 by pitching at the Yaphank, N.Y.-situated National Youth Baseball Championships. “It was definitely an eye-opening experience,” the resident of the 2700 block of South Marvine Street said of the tournament that unites many of the nation’s top travel ball participants. “I see it as a reflection of putting my heart and soul into becoming better, which is something that my dad has really helped me to understand.” His patriarch, Joe Messina, the pitching coach at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., learned of the honor late last month, with the teenager earning distinction as the lone Pennsylvanian on the East squad. The Marconi West dweller came to the attention of the showcase’s organizers through his Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association district performances at 2840 S. 18th St. Those efforts saw the youth hurling howitzers from 46 feet as opposed to the standard 60-foot projectiles that he launches at the association’s larger field at Seventh Street and Packer Avenue. “I felt very honored to be the only kid from the state to go,” Joseph said of making his second notable trip to the Empire State following last year’s DV involvement in the Cooperstown All-Star Village Tournament. “I think my parents were a lot more excited about the whole process. I just wanted to go out there with composure and confidence and do well.” Confessing to having initial nerves, the right-hander quickly cast them off and thought of his Aug. 2 start versus the West club as being “like any other game.” Commenting for the CBS Sports Network, former big leaguer Jeff Nelson noted his calm demeanor, a boon that, along with a consistent 75-mile-per-hour fastball, helped him to whiff three batters in two innings and pick up a win for his outfit. He proved even more determined and devastating two days later against the top-seeded Central
