ayor Michael A. Nutter and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell addressed media members at the top of the infamous steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art last Thursday afternoon as the Democratic National Committee (DNC) site selection committee was poised to depart the City of Brotherly Love after a two-day tour. “I think they’re feeling the love of Philadelphia,” Nutter remarked. “And our team, the host commit-

tee team, Kevin Washo, and all of the city folks on my side that were a part of this seamless coordination, the [Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau], VisitPhilly, all of them did a spectacular job and I think they leave going back to their respective areas knowing that this is a city that clearly can put on a major national convention.” The convention destination, which would take place in 2016, won’t be officially announced until later this year or early ’15. Phoenix, Columbus, Ohio, Birmingham, Ala., and New York City are the other locations under consideration. Philadelphia hosted the Republican National Convention

Pushing broken doors open

in 2000 but hasn’t hosted the DNC since 1948 (the nominee was Harry Truman). It seems as though the selection committee, led by Amy Dacey, CEO of the DNC since earlier this year and former executive director of Emily’s List, will focus primarily on logistics: hotel rooms, transportation, fundraising and usable venues. It almost goes without saying that the city would benefit tremendously in short and longer terms. The influx of delegates and convention-goers would mean a boom for Philadelphia’s service and hotel industry. And, as it turns out, the facility See DNC TOUR page 10 >>

The Philadelphia School District announced budget cuts that will allow schools to begin Sept. 8.

Supporting the Mummers “I think the parade (“Mummers making changes,” Aug. 14) should also get national and international PSAs and commercials advertising New Year’s Day in Philadelphia come out and see the carnival spirit of the Mummers Parade, celebrate the New Year with the Mummers and then after the parade come down and party on Second Street” Howard Collins via southphillyreview.com

“We were visiting South Philly (again) and I noticed the Mummers on the cover of your paper! Wow! I remember when they

came to North Kingstown, R.I.’s tricentennial celebration back in the [19]70s!! It was quite an honor when they came to town!! Everyone was talking about it before and after. As a kid I was lucky enough to get a good spot along the parade route, and was thrilled when one of the Mummers turned and posed for my camera !! I still remember that so well! I think national PSA would help too! Do whatever you can !!” Lauren Norton Virginia Beach, Va. via southphillyreview.com

To the Editor: I read with great interest Frank Tavani’s Letter to the Editor (“Sharrow-ing thoughts,” July 31) about bicycling redirection. Bicycles on Broad Street and Passyunk Avenue are hazardous to pedestrians. I have been bumped in the back of my legs while walking too many times to count. They come up from behind with no warning. Try being 86, getting bumped from behind and losing your balance while the bicyclist continues gliding down the street. I remember a time when bicycles were required to have a bell, which were used so pedestrians could avoid being startled or hurt. Do we not have a right to be able to walk down the sidewalks safely?

POLICE REPORT

Arrested on the run A pair of suspects are in custody for their alleged involvement in two robberies that ended in a car chase. ■ By Joseph Myers and Bill Chenevert R e v i e w M a n a g i n g E d i t o r a n d S ta f f Writer

wo suspects have been apprehended in a series of roberries in Whitman and Pennsport which resulted in a car chase that ended in the suspect’s Plymouth mini-van jumping a curb on the 2200 block of South 13th Street The van’s tires blew and the supsects fled on foot through Lower Moyamensing and were apprehended on the 1200 block of Wolf St. and the 1000 block of Wolf Street on Sunday night. At arpproxmiately 1:15 p.m. on Sunday, one suspect entered a Radio Shack, 330 Oregon Ave., wearing a Nirvana shirt and wielding a knife, slicing off ant-theft devices and stuffing merchandise into his pants, police said. He then pointed a knife at the counterperson, hid his weapon when a co-worker walked out, slapped a $20 bill down and headed for an exit. Another employee threatened to call police, to which the robber responded “Go ahead.” The employee captured his license plate as he revved his car, drove it alarmingly at the her and suddenly breaked before fleeing. An hour and a half later and police responded to another report of robbery at the Home Depot, 1601 S. Columbus Blvd. Officers met with a Loss Prevention staff member who also saw the suspect in a Nirvana t-shirt taking items and leaving without paying. The Loss Prevention employee followed the offender outside the store to the same maroon Plymouth mini-van. The employee tried to take the merchandise back but the offender punched the complainant three times in the face and took his iPhone. The total value of merchandise stolen was valued at $2,520. The vehicle was pulled over at 1100 S. Columbus Blvd. but pulled away at a highspeed as officers were exiting their vehicle. Two hours later, police observed the vehicle at 7000 Lindbergh Blvd. 30-year-old Francis Gesualdo, a resident of the 1600 block of Porter Street, and 32-year-old Matthew Velykis, a resident of the 2800 block of S. Sydenham St. were taken into custody after fleeing arrest.

Juvenile busted Police last week announced the arrest of a minor in connection to a Point Breeze robbery.

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

On Aug. 13, authorities, who could not release the name of the detained figure because he is a juvenile, revealed him as the likely perpetrator of a July 14 incident. In that matter, first reported in the July 24 South Philly Review as “Demanding the goods,” the complainant was walking toward Broad and Mifflin streets when an unknown male approached her from behind, pointed a gun at her face and demanded “Give me everything you got.” The woman handed 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. While conducting an investigation, authorities reviewed the suspect’s Facebook page and noticed a picture of a juvenile wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Abraham Lincoln holding a boombox. The shirt appeared identical to the one worn by the surveillance video-captured individual, whom police said resides in the area of Broad and Mifflin streets. Shortly after making the connection, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at his home and arrested him without incident.

Delivery interrupted A Southside Pizza, 1500 Point Breeze Ave., delivery driver was held at gunpoint on the 2300 block of McClellan St. last Friday night in an apparent set-up roberry. The complainant repoted making a delivery on the same McClellan block when two males intercepted him when he exited his car to say that they had made the order. As the complainant approached, one pulled a silver gun and demanded money. The driver handed over the food order and $35 before the two suspects fled the area towards S. 23rd St. The address listed on the order was checked and the resident stated that no order had been place from that address. The suspects are both listed as black males in their mid-20s, one 5’10” and 220 lbs. wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans, and the other is described as 5’5” and 150 lbs. wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt with tan pants and armed with a silver revolver. This investigation is still in process. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.co /forms.

Pushing broken doors open The Philadelphia School District announced budget cuts that will allow schools to begin Sept. 8. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

n an announcement by Superintendent William Hite on Friday morning, the Philadelphia School District (PSD) laid out a plan to open schools Sept. 8 that will include serious temporary cuts to bridge the District’s $81 million budget deﬁcit. Flanked by members of the School Reform Commission (SRC), Hite laid out about six measures the PSD will be forced to take to open public school doors on time. “For the sake of educating children and minimizing disruptions for families, we have made the decision to make a series of additional difficult — and hopefully, temporary — cuts in order to open schools on time,” Hite said at a press conference. “Delaying the start of the school year punishes students for adult failures.” Approximately 7,500 high school students who live within two miles of their school will no longer receive transportation support (the distance used to be 1.5 miles); alternative education programs will be reduced, impacting nearly 300 students; schools will be cleaned less and repaired at a slower rate; promise academies, schools that were targeted as under-performing to get turned around, will no longer receive preparation and professional development support; and staffing reductions will occur in a number of departments including police officers plus in additional categories to be determined and announced at a later date. The Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT) have also been called on to make concessions, including health benefits. The announcement also addresses the deep need for the passing of the pending cigarette tax legislation that is expected to generate $49 million this year if it’s passed. If it doesn’t, further cuts could follow. “Finally, we considered the public assurances we have received from the governor and the house majority leader that they will do everything they can to ensure that the cigarette tax authorizing legislation is

passed when the general assembly returns next month,” Hite reported on Friday. The announcement has spurred debate locally as one of a slew of cuts and budget shifts the District has had to make every year. And every year the district schools operate at a minimum functionality to the detriment of Philadelphia’s children. As Hite put it, at the end of his address, “To be clear, filling our $81 million gap will only allow the District to return the inadequate and insufficient resources schools had last year. ... Adults have the power to make right the wrong being done to our students and schools. Providing all children with a rich, high-quality education is not only a basic right, but a moral obligation.” Many parents and teachers are quick to villainize the District, but as Anthony Hopkins, the communications director for Public Citizens for Children and Youth, put it, “The bottom line is they got dealt this hand and they understand that it’s important to provide an education for children and they basically had to pick the lesser of evils. So they decided to cut facilities and transportation and alternative education and promise academies. It was either cut there or cut more significantly.” HOPKINS ALSO POINTED out that, unless the cigarette tax kicks in on October 1, more and deeper layoffs may occur. “Layoffs are not off the table. If they don’t get the tax they’re looking at 1,300 layoffs,” he said. Class size swelling and in some cases split grade level classes (two grades in one classroom) are worst case scenarios. Hopkins explained with a hypothetical, adding that teacher layoffs could send high school class sizes up to 41. “If you have a school with 400 students, you essentially are going to have 10 teachers in the entire school. You have 10 adults [plus an administrator and a secretary] for a grand total of 12 adults in a school with 400 children and that is not adequate,” Hopkins offered. But the biggest portions of the budget tweaks laid out on Friday were related to contracts with vendors and facilities. Of the $32 million in temporary cuts, the majority are not necessarily staff-related. “The biggest area where they cut is in high-risk assumption – they’re going to try to renegotiate contracts with vendors to save money and factor in the money from the sales of [PSD school] buidings,” Hopkins explained. An additional $9 million was shaved off by minimizing facility maintenance.

Funding for maintenance and repairs, at least at a slower rate, is one of the biggest budget cuts implemented last week so that the 2014-15 school year can start on time. File photos

“So basically you have kids traveling longer distances to go to less clean schools [that] can’t guarantee safety,” Hopkins said. Paul Socolar, the editor in chief of “The Notebook,” a publication that collects and reflects input from parents, educators, students and friends of Philadelphia Public Schools, also shared his thoughts. “Last Friday’s announcement was essentially the District saying that with another round of cuts, without drastic layoffs, they’re hoping they can limp through another year,” he said. The outrage is deafening. Teachers want to quit. Parents want to move their children into charter schools. Funding deficits often task teachers with cleaning their own rooms and asking students’ parents for help in providing basic supply needs (like paper and pencils) if they don’t do it themselves. There are no clear solutions, either. In a statement from the Philadelphia Coalition Advocating for Public Schools, they offered four solutions for bridging the annual budget gap: “A 5 percent extraction tax on Marcellus Shale”; “Closing or tightening corporate tax loopholes”; “Freezing the phase out of business taxes”; and “Expand Medicaid.” There’s also clearly a disconnect between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Almost a de-

cade ago the state bailed out a flailing PSD by taking over but hasn’t really invested in fully funding Philadelphia schools or developing a recurring successful budget model. City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson shared his thoughts on what needs to be done to secure a stronger future. “Harrisburg must pass the Cigarette Tax now so that we can provide our schools with an additional [$49 million]. We need a statewide funding formula that considers the socioeconomic circumstances of all public school students in Pennsylvania,” Johnson said. State Rep. Jordan Harris thanked Hite for his hard work in making sure the PSD’s building doors open in September, but also called for urgency in Harrisburg: “I am disheartened and in disbelief that the majority leadership in the General Assembly would not return to work and pass a cigarette tax to help Philadelphia’s children,” Harris said in a statement. “This is simply not acceptable. Should these cuts go into effect, our education system will be damaged even further and the education our children receive cheapened through no fault of their own.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

DNC TOUR continued from page 1 that rose to the top of the list of eligible locations is the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. Nutter said it addresses the major four Ds. “It’s all about the Ds,” he explained. “It’s about the delegates, it’s about the donors, it’s about the Democratic nominee and it’s about details. And I think they understand, the city committee understands, that we have all of those bases covered and more, and this is a place where they’ll have a great time.” Nutter and Rendell, with the help of Pennsylvania’s U.S. Congressman Bob Brady, tried to show the selection committee as many charming aspects of the city as they could in two days, and that included an early lunch on Wednesday at Pat’s King of Steaks, 1237 E. Passyunk Ave. And as Rendell put it, he thinks the committee was wowed by the Wells Fargo Center as the ideal destination for the convention. “If I were to grade how we did, I would give us, at every venue, every stop, every interview — we did 100 out of 100,” the former Philadelphia mayor and chairman of the DNC assured media with the formidable Center City skyline behind him. “Does that mean we’re going to get the convention, necessarily? No, it doesn’t. But I am extraordinarily pleased with how the venues presented themselves. “The Wells Fargo Center and the Comcast-Spectacor people did a great job and I think the Wells Fargo Center is probably the best venue for a convention that they are hoping to see and they were blown away by the Center.” THE CHANCES OF each city’s success have been widely speculated in the media, and the general consensus is that Philly may only have to defeat New York City for the honor. The Republican National Convention is already set for Cleveland in ’16. And while Philadelphia may offer the win-

ning mix of logistics, where they’ll find the strongest competition is in fundraising. The City does not pay for these conventions, and even though the federal government typically throws a solid $50 million into the mix for security measures, there is a great deal of fundraising necessary to get this convention to Philadelphia — to the tune of at least $100 million. Something, it seems, New York and Brooklyn powerbrokers wouldn’t have a problem coughing up. Mayor Bill de Blasio, JPMorgan Chase’s CEO James Dimon, Goldman Sachs’ CEO Lloyd Blankfein and actress Cynthia Nixon have already committed hundreds of millions. New York DNC strategists have designated Brooklyn’s Barclay Center as the convention home. “New York will try to outbid us with money but we hope it doesn’t come down to money,” Brady said in a phone interview. “The host committee was really impressed with the city. They were extremely

impressed with Wells Fargo because it’s a much better situation than the Barclay Center.” Brady pointed to the proximity of Lincoln Financial Field, parking, and the convenience of other stadiums nearby. “I hope it doesn’t come down to money,” he added. It could boil down to something as simple as hotel rooms – 17,000 are necessary to accommodate all delegates and guests. Only 410 rooms are within two miles of the Barclay Center. Washo, a lead strategist for the Philadelphia host convention team, told the Wall Street Journal that 65 percent of the required hotel rooms are within a 15-minute walk from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. However, there’s this one intangible aspect of Philadelphia that might just be the winning factor. And that’s the city’s rich American history in and Pennsylvania’s reputation for going blue around election season. Jim Burn, Pennsylvania’s Demo-

cratic Party chairman, is hopeful that it’s these thematic selling points might tip the scales in Philly’s favor. “Philadelphia has a great story to tell and so does the Commonwealth,” Burn said. He cheered on the efforts of Nutter and Rendell for running a tight tour for the committee and squashed rumors that Nutter wasn’t as helpful as he could be in bringing the convention to Philadelphia. “I can assure your readers that as state chairman in the last several months, and I have been places in the state that are nowhere near Philadelphia on their map, is that they have heard from Mayor Nutter asking for support and assistance in landing the convention,” Burn said emphatically. “He is working the phones very aggressively to build up support to make this happen.” SPR

A perpetually positive East Passyunk Crossing singer will headline at a Pennsport site. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

PHOTO BY MARK STEHLE

hen singing at New York-situated open mics early last decade, Tara Hendricks began to feel as if she were “a star in the making.” The East Passyunk Crossing dweller will continue seeking her celestial summit Sunday as the Alternative Soul Revue headliner at Warmdaddy’s, 1400 S. Columbus Blvd. “I’m really focusing on working on myself as an artist, so the show will be a fantastic chance to do that and will compel me to go after more success in this field,” Hendricks said. “I’m going to be with great people, too, so that’s always good for drawing inspiration and confidence.” The chanteuse will be making her first South Philly-based performance since a November rebranding that has yielded a new look, material and name, the final element representing a switch from her “taragirl” incarnation. The alteration includes the Jan. 15 release of her fetching single “Can’t Let Go,” the video for which includes East Passyunk Crossing footage, and reflects a realization of the need for more autonomy and tenacity. “I’ve learned to stick to my own voice and vision,” Hendricks said of lessons acquired since the 2010 release of “The City: Soul Suite,” the successor to her ’06 debut “The 26th Power.” “The name change was inevitable, and the sound

LIFESTYLES is perhaps a bit more polished and ambitious.” No stranger to Warmdaddy’s, the singer will play a 45-minute set at the Pennsport location, with the evening serving as a pre-birthday celebration. That component aside, Hendricks hopes her offerings will activate hearts and bodies simultaneously and intends to have the occasion further occupy her desires for augmented authenticity. “The music industry can be very intimidating, and it can be easy to forget what you’re in it for, which to me is to make people curious about your talent and then make them feel how much you care about your artistry and their entertainment,” she said. “I’ve always, thank God, been able to sing, so going forward, I’m looking to work with so many more people and improve my writing.” THE REVERENT AND resolute artist began articulating her path as a New Jersey-bred girl. Gradually becoming engrossed, she used her pop and rhythm and blues interests at first to emulate such influences as Mary J. Blige, En Vogue, Lauryn Hill and Whitney Houston and then to develop a distinct identity. “I became adamant about working on

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

my craft,” Hendricks said, noting that high school, during which she initially took voice lessons, proved her turning point. “When you’re so enthused about something, you want to perfect your involvement in it, right? It was no different for me with music.” Deeming herself “a very city person,” the intuitive individual believed the Big Apple would boost her chances for earning merit and matriculated at New York University as a voice major. Though initially enamored with musical theater, she parted with that penchant after two years to focus on broadcast journalism. “We just weren’t good fits for each other,” she said of her relationship with her premier course of study. “I’d definitely say, though, that it made me a better singer and gave me a sort of heightened awareness of my responsibility to myself.” With the academic shift, which Hendricks noted she executed so she could “get a real job” if the music world kept her out of its orbit, she gained enough knowledge to score employment with the TV channel Oxygen. Long hours rid her of the belief that she could cap her days with gigs but did not deter her overall drive. She eventually, however, tired of tabbing New York as her eventual windfall-bearing location

but not before working for the group TLC and making the aforementioned open mic appearances. “I started to feel that what I have in me is actually good, unique and special,” Hendricks said. “I knew people, for sure, but I had no idea how to reach the next step.” With “literally nothing left to lose” and no local acquaintances, she flocked to Philadelphia in ’03 and hit its open mic circuit with similar ambition. Growing to love defying narrow-minded expectations of her essence through area opportunities, she situated herself splendidly within the city’s neo-soul revolution that has given rise to artists such as Floetry, Musiq Soulchild and Jill Scott, with whom she has performed. “I think I was always ready to record,” Hendricks said of hankering to join those music makers as a marketable presence. “There was just the issue of finding the right collaborator and dealing with the enormity of such a project.” With “The 26th Power,” the “soul girl” issued a self-affirming effort that she contends validated her path. That journey involved braving barricades the next four years, though, and Hendricks, whose accolades include placement on Billboard/ Discmakers’ Top 15 Artists: North East in

the Independent World Series and whose other stage sharers number such notables as Chaka Khan, Chrisette Michele and Amy Winehouse, has come to possess a far greater sense of security, which involves more than ditching her previous look’s reliance on pigtails and knee highs. “I don’t like anything contrived, so I’m all about being in tune, so to speak, with my image and material,” the songbird, whose changes also include having become an April bride to husband Freddy, said. “There have been ups and downs, but I’m not focusing on the negative. I am who I am because I believe in myself.” Looking to complete a third project, which she feels could be an extended play, tour and find an independent label, Hendricks, also the helmer of an Instagram vocal series dubbed #TheDailyVox, has certainly cemented her status as a vigilant vocalist. “Nobody should misuse an opportunity to grow at whatever they are,” she said. “I want to use each of mine to succeed.” SPR For tickets, visit urbantix.com, or call 855-872-2684.

LIFESTYLES

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

August

e are almost through the month of August and I have mixed emotions. Frankly, I don’t like August. On the other hand, anything that takes us one step closer to winter and long underwear tends to make me sad. The word “august” means distinguished. There is nothing about the month that is distinguished in the slightest, unless you consider that Ashton Kutcher recently announced his retirement from acting. Those of you who just remarked that Kutcher never was an actor anyway get no points from me as I thought he was splendid in those camera commercials. The task of naming our months seems to have fallen to the Romans. Apparently, the Romans needed something to do to wind down after feeding Christians to the lions, and it seems naming months can be very relaxing. Thus it is that August is the month the Romans named to honor Emperor Augustus Caesar. Was he the one who played bluegrass on his fiddle while Rome burned or spent his idle moments indulging in gluttony and orgies (two hobbies that top my bucket list)? Wait, let me check Wikipedia. Emperor Augustus Caesar reigned over a relatively peaceful period in Roman history and died at the age of 75. Some historians believe he was poisoned by his wife, but the autopsy was performed in Ferguson, Mo., so the results are inconclusive. The tragedy in Ferguson is one of the terrible events that happened this month. The policeman that shot the unarmed teenager will likely be retired from the Ferguson police force and given a job as a watchman patrolling the streets of Florida. It is taking multiple autopsies to determine whether firing six shots into the victim was excessive, although as Fox News points out, if the teen may have participated in a robbery of a convenience of store, is six shots really enough? Getting back to the unique history of the month of August, according to the website Folklore Calendar, Anglo Saxons called August “Weod monath” or “Weed month,” which makes sense if you have passed by any schoolyards lately at night. Lammas Day on August 1st is considered harvest time in Britain. One of my favorite superstitions surrounding Lammas Day is the one where British farmers would crumble stale cornbread over the corners of their barns. August has given rise to a marketing ploy to get folks to read books. Barnes & Noble suggests you indulge in some light summer

reading. B &N has a table set up titled Good Beach Reads. I agree Americans must give their minds a rest during summer because the rest of the year, all of us are reading War and Peace. August is also the month where people keep repeating that deathless truism, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity,” although in Arizona folks keep reassuring us it’s really the heat (and Gov. Jan Brewer), you freakin’ idiot. The casinos in Atlantic City have wilted in the August heat. Four of them have either closed or are scheduled to close, Revel being the most notable of them. It was the most expensive casino ever built in Atlantic City and was open for all of 20 minutes. I know smarty-pants second guessers are saying that the Revel was a bad idea, but I think they’re being a bit too harsh. Just because you open a casino surrounded by slums in an economic downturn doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person. Who could have figured that with neighboring states opening their own casinos, hardly anyone would revel in Revel? The resort tried to mimic Vegas. It even surrounded itself with sand so visitors might think they were actually in the desert. Things have gotten so bad that even the casinos bearing Donald Trump’s name have fallen into disrepute. La Donald wants his name removed from the marquee and replaced by Barack Obama’s. Trump really just wants to honor our first Kenyan president. I think Bruce Springsteen might want to consider rewriting the chorus to his song “Atlantic City.” Right now, the words are: “Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact. And maybe, everything that dies, someday comes back. Put your red dress on and your hair up pretty, and meet me tonight in Atlantic City.” I figure it should now go something like this: “Revel has died, baby, that’s a fact. And there’s not a chance in the world that it’s ever coming back. Put your black dress on because it really is a pity, if you’re heading tonight to Atlantic City.” August is the time when countless American kids put their summer reading assignments aside and return to party hearty at college campuses all over the country. The idea of doing without football and steady sex can really be depressing for many college students. Summer can be such a drag. Hey, you place a liquor store two blocks from campus, mix the sexes in college dorms and close the door, really what can go wrong? And then there’s that rumor that it wasn’t really the old Anglo Saxons that called August “Weed month.” We Philadelphians have something to celebrate in August. Mayor Michael Nutter returns to Philadelphia. It is not true that the mayor has to take a guided tour of City Hall to familiarize himself with the surroundings or that he was seen riding around the city on a double-decker tourist bus.

In tune with ‘Frank’

Frank (a masked Michael Fassbender) is the eponymous frontman for the eccentric indie

band Soronprfbs.

■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

eavy is the head that wears the crown — or the massive papiermâché helmet. That, more or less, is the moral of “Frank,” a quirky dramedy about an avant-garde indie band, Soronprfbs, led by the eponymous frontman (a masked Michael Fassbender). Like most of this movie’s virtues, the familiar theme is hidden in plain sight. It doesn’t take a detective to apply such meanings as the shouldering of artistic burden to a revered man who literally wears his artistic trademark on his shoulders. And yet, Frank’s backstory, when it comes, still registers as surprising. Additionally, it’s quite telling that the band’s name is utterly unpronounceable, seeing as “Frank” is a film that wears its goofy pretense on its sleeve. It does offer an everyman protagonist in the form of Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), a practically talentless aspiring musician who comes to join group through an unfortunate event (a previous band member’s suicide attempt). Once ingratiated, Jon particularly clashes with Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a stubbornly aloof theremin player who’d sooner die than sell out. The struggle of art versus commerce is another chief theme in “Frank”— a struggle that not only boils between Jon and Clara (he wants fame; she wants eccentric solace), but clashes within Frank’s shielded cranium. It’s a theme that works far better here than it did in this summer’s “Begin Again,” which also saw a ragtag band try to record an album on the cheap and in the wild (here, the street’s of New York are replaced by Ireland’s countryside). Whereas “Begin Again” mocked

formula only to stick to one, “Frank” upends common themes for its own purposes and pumps the break on the oddities just enough to let them down easy. The story itself is actually based in fact: Co-writer Jon Ronson was once the bandmate of Chris Sievey, whose alterego, Frank Sidebottom, rocked a familiar pinata-esque headpiece, and served as the inspiration for the title character. Ronson’s experiences help ground “Frank” and shape it as a tribute to rock’s strange tendrils, and the forms of compromise that can cause them to tangle and severe.

Odds are the indulgent Ryan Murphy will never release a perfect piece of work, but he does a powerful job of translating Larry Kramer’s landmark AIDS play, “The Normal Heart,” to the screen for HBO. With a largely gay cast (featuring Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons and the amazing Joe Mantello), the film is a step forward for LGBT representation. Now let’s just see more of that at the multiplex.

here was a time when stadium food could be summed up as “burgers and dogs”. That time is long gone at Lincoln Financial Field. Highlighted by the ad- The Carmichael dition of Pizzeria Vetri and the expansion of Paesano’s Philly Style, the Eagles unveiled their new concession items for the upcoming season to a crowd of season ticket holders in the SCA Club on Wednesday. Together with the celeb chefs the Eagles also turned to two of their all time best wide receivers, Mike Quick and Harold Carmichael, to bring some true Philly flaThe Quick vor to the gridiron. Marc Vetri, the city’s most highly regarded culinary mind went from upscale price fix to communal bench seating and pizza when he opened Pizzeria Vetri. The coming of that experience, complete with custom brick oven, to Lincoln Financial marks the arrival of the famed rotolo—the delectable spiral of dough, meat, and cheese that quickly grew into the restaurant’s signature dish. Ricotta cheese, spicy sopressata, and marinara sauce wrapped up in pizza dough make up the rendition served at the stadium. Though different from the original, which GQ’s Alan Richman dubbed one of 2014 Rotolo top five best dishes, this more traditionally flavored version does not disappoint. Take note that this culinary superstar will be making his second entry into South Philly come this fall when Lo Spiedo opens in the Navy Yard. Conversely, Peter McAndrews has long established a presence in South Philly through two standout Italian Market spots in Paesano’s and Monsu. To Lincoln Financial he brings the former, an old school sandwich shop that goes heavy on all in-

gredients and feels as if it has been in the Italian Market for 100 years. Their signature sandwich, the Paesano consists of beef brisket, horseradish mayo, roasted tomatoes, long hot puree, and sharp provolone—crowned with an over easy egg. With both above offerings available only on the club level, without question the most exciting addition for most fans will be Quick & Carmichael’s BBQ. Named for Eagles Hall of Famers Mike Quick and Harold Carmichael, this barbeque stop will be located in section 134 and feature signature sandwiches named for and designed by the two great wide receivers. The Quick features black cherry smoked pulled pork with house made slaw on a potato roll while The Carmichael boats maple sugar smoked pulled chicken. Of course, if you can’t decide which you prefer fans can opt for The Quick and Carmichael which will squeeze the fillings from both sandwiches onto a potato roll. With hundreds of millions in renovations just now wrapping up it is clear food was among the priorities. Aside from menus and concepts the Eagles promise faster services, digital menu boards for improved visibility, and increased cooking capabilities. More importantly, the most popular items will be available in more locations. “This year’s combination of local celebrity chefs and great-tasting sandwiches from Mike Quick and Harold Carmichael, make Lincoln Financial Field a premiere destination for hungry NFL fans,” said Carl Mittleman, president of Aramark’s Sports & Entertainment Division. Along with these new offerings fans can expect the return of local favorites Chickie’s and Pete’s as well as Tony Luke’s. Crab fries will be available at nearly two dozen stands around the stadium while the famous cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwhiches will be served up in section 112.

The Schmitter The famous Schmitter from McNally’s Tavern will continue to be featured as well. Also arriving this year will be Rita’s Italian Ice, with six locations around the stadium, and Dunkin Donuts which will have eight spots scattered around the concourse. SPR P h o t o s b y To m C o n way

Kathleen’s Lentil Salad

Anniversary bash

istrot La Minette, 623 S. Sixth St, is celebrating its sixth anniversary through Aug. 27 with a five-course dinner offering. The selections by executive chef Kenneth Bush will feature dishes that have proven classics over the establishment’s Queen Village-situated existence. The $55 affair, which includes a complimentary pichet of wine, will consist of favorites such as salmon tartar, pan-seared halibut, New York strip steak, seared duck breast and caramelized puff pastry Napoleon. Call 215-925-8000, or visit bistrotlaminette.com. SPR

tarting the family dinner with a salad is a popular routine as there is no cooking required. It frees up time to focus on the main course and side dishes. Some may frown upon the simplicity of a regular salad, but Kathleen Valle, of the 2600 block of Dudley Street, came up with a Lentil Salad that includes ingredients that many enjoy. One of the great things about this recipe, besides the three-step preparation method, is that there is no pressure to finish it in one sitting. Simply return the serving bowl to the fridge, and bypass the initial directions the following night. SPR

INGREDIENTS: 3 cups of cooked lentils 1 cup of chickpeas 10 cherry tomatoes, sliced 1/2 cup of black olives, sliced 1/2 cup of red bell pepper, chopped 1 small carrot, shredded

2 fresh basil leaves, cut in strips 1/2 cup of olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste

Childhood memories of the Jersey Shore ■ By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

ummers spent at the Jersey Shore were filled with food, fun, fishing, beach days, rainy days and long walks. There were no casino when I was a girl, but there were chic, luxurious hotels such as the Traymore and the Shelburne.

had to ask for more bread for dipping, it just appeared on our table. A special treat was a trip to Lambert’s, an ice cream emporium that was second to none. I can still see the blue and white sign. Hot fudge sundaes ruled the day along with banana splits and ice cream sodas. Several weeks ago, when I wrote about hard-shell crabs served up at Anastasi Seafood in the Italian Market, I mentioned Abe’s Oyster House on Atlantic Avenue. It was seafood heaven. It was a large, bright and airy tiled open room with oyster crackers and horseradish on every table. Hard-shells and pitchers of beer kept us quite content. My mother preferred deviled crab.

anything?” Flounder, bluefish, kingfish and weakfish wound up in my wicker basket. Mom and I would clean them together for that night’s dinner. I can’t recall the name of the pizza place on the boardwalk, but I remember my grandfather’s face broke out into a big smile when he tried pizza for the first time. Kohr’s was real frozen custard, rich with eggs and creamy smooth. Roth’s candy store was famous for its jumbo chocolate covered marshmallows, buttercreams, pumpkin seeds, pistachio nuts and sunflower seeds. People would buy bags of nuts, sit in their rolling chairs outside of the Ritz and chomp away. Two weeks ago, my friend Thom Motta, a life-long South Philly resident, and I were reminiscing about The Knife and Fork Inn (below). We ate there many times. I tried chateaubriand for the first time when I was about 8 or so. The waiter brought a large wooden board to our table with the filet roast placed in the center. Whipped duchess potatoes were piped around the rim of the board.

Class action

An East Passyunk Crossing school alum has traded dribbling for scribbling as a writer and director. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

hen he took to the basketball court for Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., Tony Chennault made supporters marvel at his penchant for pursuing perfection, a quality that catapulted the Saints to national renown. The 2010 product will return to the East Passyunk Crossing location at 7 p.m. tomorrow to prove his passion for compassion, as he will use the premiere of his web series “Oldhead” to mark another phase in his transformation from a competitor to a chronicler. “There are so many compelling stories to tell,” the recent Villanova University graduate said Friday at his secondary education alma mater. “Basketball gave me tremendous experiences and opportunities, but in thinking about when I’m gone from this earth, I believe I’ll be able to set a more powerful example through film.” The 23-year-old Olney resident had figured hoops would hold his destiny, but the May 2012 shooting death of brother Michael Jay and the Aug. ’13 heart attackcaused passing of mother Crystal Morton altered the course. The former factored into his decision to transfer to Villanova from the North Carolina-situated Wake Forest University, as Chennault knew his matriarch, who suffered from asthma and chronic respiratory troubles, would need emotional consolation and physical consideration. With the conclusion of their lives, so came the extinguishment of his basketball existence. “By the second semester of my senior year, I had no more fire in my belly,” the young man confessed. “I realized I’m way more than a basketball player. I decided I could do more by being a storyteller.” Chennault noted that since others had pigeonholed him as only an athlete, he fielded many questions about his future. A student film titled “Chris,” which drew inspiration from his sibling’s slaughter and which analyzes the fragility and sanctity of life, answered the inquiries and encouraged him to explore more projects as means to preach inclusivity. “No matter the type or scope of the struggle, we’re in this together,” Chennault, who with fellow Wildcats registrants founded 267 Productions, the company behind “Oldhead,” said of his creative philosophy. “My work looks at urban situations, but

Tony Chennault returned to Neumann-Goretti to last week to talk about his future career aspirations in the ﬁlm industry. P h o t o b y R o b To r n e y

regardless of that, I want to be a voice for everyone.” That means making material that discusses the rewards of patience and poise and addresses the allure of fostering and protecting values. Even before the completion of “Chris,” Chennault saw “Oldhead” as a viable contribution to the quest for perspective. Originally envisioning his second piece, which he helped to write and direct, as a short film, he decided to present it as a series of 15- to 20-minute looks at contemporary conundrums like how to establish one’s identity when conformity seems more appealing and how to learn from mistakes big and small. “We often take people, even ourselves, for granted,” Chennault said, adding he hopes

to make “Oldhead” a monthly manifestation. “The best case scenario for my projects is that people will see there’s nothing wrong with creating your own journey.” Since the budding intellectual gained so much insight from his days at NeumannGoretti, he chose it as the venue for his veneration of valiant attempts at forging contentment. “It holds a special place in my heart,” he said. “I’ve had many great people around me in my life, and many are affiliated with this school.” CHENNAULT CAME TO regard basketball as a worthwhile attraction by age 10 and worked relentlessly to improve his comprehension of its components and appreciation for its

PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php possibilities. Already a strong program before his arrival, Neumann-Goretti soon became the envy of most city squads, with stunning guard play from Chennault helping coach Carl Arrigale’s clubs to go 97-20 during his matriculation. “I always respected our connection” Chennault said. “We wanted to win and got it done most of the time.” The ballers captured two Catholic League titles and the ’10 Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class AAA state championship with Chennault, whom Gatorade honored for his swan song campaign by naming him the state’s Boys’ Basketball Player of the Year. That season saw him average 19.1 points and six rebounds in guiding the Saints to a 30-1 record and the No. 2 ranking in the ESPN Rise Top 50 Poll. “It was incredible to be a part of such a tradition,” Chennault said of suiting up for the Saints, who won their sixth consecutive parochial plaque in February. “I’m proud to call myself a graduate.” After two years at Wake Forest, he headed to the Main Line, where he averaged 3.1 points in 68 games. Knowing he could likely carve out a career somewhere, perhaps internationally, he traded dribbling for scribbling scripts and will never foster regret for doing so. “The losses affected my journey,” Chennault said of his relatives’ absence. “I know I would still be playing basketball if they were here, but I believe everything happens for a reason. I could have played for 10 years somewhere, but God is putting together a plan for me that will last a lifetime.” From his mother, the mature figure, who lives with brother Sean Chennault, learned that no matter what one possesses, he or she must express gratitude for the greatest endowment, love. The younger Chennault has known happiness and heartache, but the former figures to win out, as the newly minted bearer of a communications degree is courting camaraderie with far more enthusiasm than he is chasing the almighty dollar. “I want to tell impactful stories, and ‘Oldhead’ will be another chance to do so,” he said of the brainchild, tickets for which are $10 at the door. “I want to enrich hearts and be authentic. I want others to do the same.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
