 South PhillyReview Lesson plans for the future Difference Maker

To the Editor: Many thanks to Bill Chenevert for his comprehensive report on the lopsided opening of Philadelphia schools (“Pushing broken doors open,” Aug. 21). Citizens should note that drastic cuts do not affect charters and there is a reason for that. The overall plan behind [Superintendent William] Hite’s budget decision is nothing less than the dismantling of public schools so that they can be absorbed by private management groups as investments. The entire time that Hite was closing and merging dozens of schools across the city, he was executing the expansion of the charter school system. Ironically, in Chenevert’s article, he mentions that the schools, due to a funding crisis in 2001, were originally taken over and bailed out by the state. Even more ironic is the fact that the deficit then was $75 million compared to $81 mil-

lion this year. Can we be so bold as to ask why this fiduciary incompetence was allowed to continue for so long? The only conclusion we can draw is all this “failure” was deliberate. Our political leaders, posing as so concerned for education, are actually behind the move to privatize public education for profit. Only now that the November elections are getting closer, do we hear calls for a funding formula and closing tax loopholes among other revenue sources. Where was the oversight from Harrisburg as one superintendent after another encouraged one wasteful, bizarre experiment after another with a golden parachute at the end of their tenures? The only thing this piece failed to mention was that the teachers and other school workers have been supporting the system by working without a contract since last Aug-

gust. By not having raises since ’12, basically a pay freeze has saved the district tens of millions. Teachers have also been charged with maintaining their own classrooms, including paying for their own supplies. Do doctors have to buy their own bandages? Do police have to supply their own handcuffs? Parents, teachers and all concerned citizens should unite in demanding full support for our school district, a return to local control and oversight and an end to carpetbagger leaders with political agendas.

Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia

A word from the president To the Editor: I think it is fitting that a day before [2010 South Philly Review Difference Maker] Kim Massare was going to retire [as president of the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association], I needed her assistance with a last-minute grant opportunity. Of course Kim accepted, that’s her nature. That is what she has been doing since ’08. If it has a potential positive impact on our community, she is there. Last minute or not. Kim hates kudos, so I won’t say it. But I will say she will be a tough act to follow. One of my priorities will be to work with our board of directors and the general membership to improve the quality of life by increasing the 3-1-1 neighborhood liaison program. I believe the persistent use of 3-1-1 can have a positive impact on our neighborhood. Of course 3-1-1 alone can’t solve everything. I don’t know if there is a panacea for our neighborhood or any neighborhood for that matter; however, I do believe that we have a great foundation and an established community, and I look forward to playing a small role with moving forward. With that said, don’t forget to view our calendar for upcoming events, and I look forward to working with you. Todd Schwartz President Lower Moyamensing Civic Association Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

P

olice are searching for the shooter who claimed the life of Damien James. The 16-year-old resident of 31st and Reed streets was walking out of a family friend’s home on the 2100 block of Dickinson Street just after 10 p.m. Aug. 20 when someone struck him with two bullets, police said. Present at the incident, his mother, Lasha Bradshaw, rushed him to Methodist Hospital, where personnel pronounced him dead at 10:35 p.m. As of press time, police had no suspects or leads. To report information, call the Homicide Division at 215-686-3334.

Bad romance A man ended up a robbery victim in South of South last week due to attraction to a new female acquaintance. At 2 a.m. Aug. 18, authorities met the complainant on the 2200 block of St. Albans Street and learned he had met a woman identifying herself as “Kiara” earlier that evening and drove her to the same location, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They exchanged phone numbers, but the victim did not see her entering any residence after exiting his vehicle. He received a 1 a.m. call from the female in which she asked him to come back to the neighborhood and once he arrived, “Kiara” entered the passenger side. After two minutes of conversation between the two, Tolliver said, an unknown male walked up to the ride and pointed a long, dark-colored revolver at the motorist’s head and demanded he exit. The gun wielder removed his wallet, car keys and cell phone from his pockets and instructed him to lie on the ground. He and “Kiara” then sped off in the brown 1999 Buick Park Avenue, Pennsylvania license number JMS-8840. The victim described the woman as black, 21 years old, and 5-foot-10; and having a light complexion, a medium build, multiple tattoos

man for his reported assault and robbery of a woman in Center City. At 10:45 p.m. Aug. 16, authorities responded to an incident on the 500 block of South 21st Street and learned an AfricanAmerican man, whom the victim described as being in his 30s and 5-foot-8, having a dark complexion and wearing a blue shirt and tan khaki pants, approached her from behind, grabbed her hair, pulled her to the ground and removed her purse before running eastbound on Rodman Street from 21st Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Receiving information regarding the offender’s identity, detectives placed the alleged thief’s photo in an array, with the victim deeming Dwayne Brooks, of the 1700 block of Christian Street, as her attacker. Authorities prepared a search warrant for the 31-year-old’s residence the next day and arrested Brooks without incident. They charged the South-of-South inhabitant, who had not posted his $20,000 bail as of press time and awaits a Sept. 2 preliminary hearing, with assault, robbery and theft.

You’re no Water Man An elderly complainant, with the help of a young witness, helped in the apprehension of an offender trying to pass himself off as a Philadelphia Water Department employee. Police responded to a radio call reporting a suspicious male on the 2400 block of South Iseminger Street Aug. 18 around 11:15 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant reports she responded to a doorbell ring, and the offender said he needed to go to various areas of the house, including the basement to run the washing machine to check her water. She refused and after 15 minutes, the offender left the area. The witness reported that “things didn’t seem right” and after speaking with her neighbor, the complainant called 911. An officer noticed the male on the 1300 block of Ritner Street and following an investigative stop by the law enforcement figure, the complainant identified him. The officer arrested 48-year-old Northeast Philly resident Sandy John, who faces charges of impersonating a public servant, without incident. SPR

A teenager parted with his bicycle after a quartet of males assaulted him in Newbold Monday. Nearing Broad and Wharton streets at 8:50 p.m., the youth glimpsed four men, with one grabbing the rear tire of his ride, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The action led to his flipping onto the ground, where, without provocation, the offenders began to punch his head and body. One of the figures jumped on the mode of transportation, a yellow Trek Mountain Bike with white handle bars and yellow handle grips and valued at $2,000, and the others followed him as they fled eastbound on Wharton toward 13th Street. The victim, who did not seek immediate hospital treatment after sustaining cuts and facial and head bruises, described the lead attacker as black and 5-foot-10; having a thin build; and wearing a white T-shirt. Detailed descriptions of the others were not available as of press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Hire, respect, repeat

Wash Cycle Laundry’s a booming local business that celebrates employability and sustainability. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

Have a good ride and stay up” is what Mildred Monroe says to the cyclists who pick up and drop off laundry from her homebase laundromat at South Street Coin Wash. “You have to be very very careful as a cyclist. They bike in the street just like a car, and a lot of times, people get frustrated. Everybody’s in a rush to go nowhere,” the resident of the 2300 block of Watkins Street joked. But these cyclists aren’t even on just any bike. Wash Cycle Laundry, a growing bike and wash delivery company founded by Gabriel Mandujano in 2010, has been improving its unconventional delivery vessels for the past four years. What started as bikes with what looked like giant Tupperware bins towed behind them is now a fleet of tricycles that are capable of hauling 450 pounds with the help of motorized assistance. “We’re a sustainable laundry, dry cleaning and linen service that delivers by bicycle,” Leigh Goldenberg, the company’s director of marketing who calls the 1400 block of South Franklin Street home, said. “We have clients anywhere from a resident of Philadelphia at their home or office, to small businesses, spas, salons, gyms, up to large institutions – we are a federal contractor with the federal government, we work with [the University of] Penn, nursing homes and assisted living facilities.” The staff has grown right alongside its list of clients and facilities. The South Street laundromat was the entity’s first wash locale, but the overseers now have four addresses where cycling deliverers dump dirty laundry and pick clean product up for delivery: the others are in Center City, East Falls and West Philly. “We don’t own these [wash] facilities – they’re places we’re using on their off hours,” Goldenberg, pointing out one of the business’s finest economic saving graces – very little overhead, said. “The capital costs of owning the building and the machines” don’t fall on Wash Cycle, and the business is able to turn around and dump that money into affordable wages, training

and focus on employee retention, another feather in her team’s cap. The company proudly employs Philadelphians who would appear unemployable to the untrained eye because of a history of incarceration, homelessness or addiction. “Twenty-five percent of our employees do have a reported history of incarceration,” Goldenberg stated. “We’re saying ‘Hey look, we’re hiring people with these backgrounds’ and we’re paying above the minimum wage and saying this is better than collecting your public assistance check.” Jake Clark is Wash Cycle’s market leader of logistics, or chief cyclist. The resident of the 2500 block of South Third Street was drawn to the company for its attention to sustainability and cycling, but also for its fair labor practices. “Almost the entire laundry team comes from workforce development programs, and we have a retention rate that’s triple or quadruple the city’s average,” the Whitman resident said.

He sees a great deal of value in “Giving people a chance and giving them the proper training and not giving up on them.” THIS WEEK THE company started expanding into a District of Columbia market. Clark had just returned from checking in on the nascent Wash Cycle space in the nation’s capital, and Goldenberg said they’ll expand into more urban markets over the next couple years. But Philly will always be the company’s home. The system is pretty simple. “People can go online or call us and schedule a pick-up. A cyclist shows up at their door, takes their laundry, we wash it and get it back to them in 24 hours,” Passyunk Square’s Goldenberg said. “You can have your laundry and your dry-cleaning delivered to your door.” The service area, at the moment, doesn’t dip below Snyder Avenue or go west of 25th Street into Grays Ferry. It’s $1.35 per pound with a ten-pound minimum (which the company says is “about one home load);

$2 for a laundered and pressed shirt; $5 for “Half Your Body” (pants, blouses, skirts); and $10 for “All Your Body” (suits, dresses). Goldenberg said South Philadelphians hoping for their neighborhood to fall into a future catchment zone “can always call and get their name added to a list and when we can get to you we’ll let you know.” As demand and business grows, tools have improved. “Our new tricycles look like a pettycab with a box on the back,” a box capable of carrying 550 pounds of laundry, Goldenberg touted. “With the electric assist, we’re able to expand where we go, so that means that hills aren’t as much of a challenge and that increases our efficiency.” For Clark, one of the things he’s proudest of is how dedicated cyclists are to fulfilling their routes. “This past winter, with all of the snow that we had and all of the terrible weather conditions and freezing cold, we didn’t have a single cyclist call out the entire winter, and we only had one day when we had to cease operations,” he said with pride. Clark says he’s used to seeing funny reactions to the pettycabs. “The number one question is ‘Do you wash the clothes in there?’” It’s laughable to think, he says, that 150 gallons of water weight could be carted around on bike. He used to be one of the only cyclists. “I used to do a whole day’s worth of appointments by myself, and now we have eight to 10 people alone in Philadelphia riding each day,” Clark said. They’re “a team that’s very excited about the company and excited about making it grow,” he added. “I love my job. I enjoy coming to work every day. I love what I do – I wouldn’t trade it for nothin’ in the world,” Monroe, a mother to five daughters and sister to four brothers, said. She’s proud of the growth, too, as she’s been with the company for more than two years. “Someone took an idea and made the idea grow. [Mandujano] had a dream that he wanted to pursue, and he pursued it – that’s what I like about him,” the Point Breeze dweller said. She is not ashamed of loving and being good at laundering. “When you fold a million towels and they’re all lined up nicely, the perfection of how they’re folded, I like for something to have my name on it,” Monroe said. “I’m so pleased. It’s really growing.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

PODCASTS continued from page 1 capitalized on this by recording and serially issuing digestable and often themed conversations that curious minds could subscribe to. Every single interest anyone could have has a mindful podcaster ready to provide an outlet. Timaree Leigh, an East Passyunk professor/sex educator/fitness instructor/podcaster and resident of the 1800 block of South Camac Street, doesn’t see herself as her podcast’s subject. “Sex with Timaree” was born in about 2011 and, after 175 episodes, has stream statistics upwards of 10,000. But she knows it’s not about her. “I don’t really talk about myself on the show at all. I don’t want it to be about me,” Leigh, an instructor at the Community College of Philadelphia (where she teaches an Introduction to Sexuality course in the Psychology department) and Widener University (where she completed a doctorate in Human Sexuality), said. “What I’m bringing is that I want to ask the questions that I think the listeners would ask if they had the opportunity,” like “if you had a pornstar in front of you.” Her podcast was featured at the Festival, as was Teagan Keating’s “Action Phase,” a show about public health. The Festival-recorded “Action Phase” featured WHYY’s Maiken Scott, their Behavioral Health reporter. The connection between Leigh and Keating? Nathan Kuruna, Leigh’s producer, Keating’s fiancée and the festival’s director. The strength of the first two fests has also pushed Kuruna to found the Philadelphia Podcast Society. “It was bigger and better this year than it was last year. Tattooed Mom was a great venue and they’ve expressed interest in having us back next year. We just keep learning about more and more folks that are doing this,” Kuruna, who uses an inhome studio at his 1100 block of Latona Street residence to record, edit and transmit, said. They had 12 casters last year and 19 this

Everyone else either lives in space or they’re also millionaires who live in a mansion. “I really liked the fact that even as a young man, he was highly intelligent, he was an engineer, he made his own web shooters – not everybody can sit down and create the fluid that makes webs or the machines to shoot webbing out of,” he added, showing off his comics knowledge. He’s drawn and reviewed them, too, and his J1 Studio, which has grown from a staff of one (Geek of the Year) to 20, is as diverse as ever. “We make video game remix music, we make multiple comics, we have novels, fan fiction, user reviews.

year. “We’re hoping it’ll be a little bigger and better every time. We had some good stuff happen for us in terms of publicity, like the Black Tribbles and Jason [Richardson] winning,” the Passyunk Square resident said. The wins Kuruna’s referring to are from the Philadelphia Geek Awards, which are handed out annually, this August at the Academy of Natural Sciences at Drexel. The almighty Geek of the Year award went to Richardson, a resident of the 600 block of South Sixth Street. He is one-fifth of The Black Tribbles, which won for Streaming Media Project of the Year. The Tribbles are an African American quintet who love geek culture, and their name comes from a Star Trek episode (if you know the one, you might be a geek, too). Richardson runs his very lively J1 Studios out of his home and met at Chapterhouse Café & Gallery, 620 S. Ninth St. to chat geeks, podcasts and Spiderman.

challenged a fan to a Star Trek trivia contest (they won) and then Richardson took over. “I did a segment where I asked not only the cast and hosts but the fans and people there, if they were to have a superpower what would it be and why?” he said. “Things got really weird. Everyone wanted to come up with the coolest and craziest power, so it was a game of one-upmanship, but a festive game.” His interest in anime goes deep and it’s manifested in J1-Con, an anime convention, Richardson’s pride and joy, that’ll take place on Sept. 14 in University City. Darnelle Radford, a native of the 2100 block of Latona Street, also participated in the Podcast Fest as a voracious local theater podcaster. His journey started in ’04 when he founded his own Represented Theater Company. Rep Radio came years later when he decided he wanted to help his fellow theater companies get the word out about their work. “An inside look at the plays and players,” as Radford put it. “I wanted to create a vehicle that was designed to help smaller companies that didn’t have those marketing dollars. I’ve been inspired by so many creative artists – I wanted to find a way to promote new work. That’s where Represented came from,” he said. They send out an average of 70-75 podcasts a year and time the release so that, when updates happen overnight on Monday morning, you’ve got a new podcast waiting for you, and the hope is that it sends you to box offices. His time as an Apple employee in Ardmore showed him that smart phones are great tools to get one’s podcasts heard. “At Apple, I see people who can’t keep their eyes off their gadget. By lunchtime they could buy tickets and by the time they get off of work they could be planning their evening, which is partly why we release our episodes on Mondays at 6 a.m. Their devices do their updates, and they get a new Rep Radio when they open it up.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

A Point Breeze product is promoting positivity as the leader of local organizations. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

s a reckless teenager, Will Little regarded a revolver as a requisite for survival, with that stance stealing a decade of his life on a third-degree murder conviction. As a responsible adult, though, the former Point Breeze resident realizes the richness of choosing virtue over violence and is aiding local youths by heading three entities. “When I consider today’s children, I see them as being at a critical moment in their social education,” the Mount Airy dweller said at Jazz U Up, 1551 S. 16th St., where he has enjoyed a 12-year stretch as a barber and which has hosted workshops for his Poetry in Motion, Unified Front Organized and Redemption, Forgiveness and Peace endeavors. “Many of them have fallen in love with the wrong mentality, so I’m striving to give them a new object for their affection, hope, and I’m using my background to do so.” The mentor is acting on what he holds as everyone’s innate desire, namely, the pursuit of acceptance and achievement. Since factors such as jealousy, poverty and hostility thwart that yearning among youngsters, problems arise and positivity can meet its demise, but Little, especially through Redemption, Forgiveness and Peace and its nearly 50 neighborhood helpers, knows that recipients of reason, no matter their age, can change as many lives as they wish.


LIFESTYLES “There’s a lack of balance in many homes,” the community voice said of abodes abounding in despondency. “Particularly within African-American culture, people are often given to impulse and forsake strategizing and addressing what can help us to live in harmony.” Little hones an attitude of gratitude to foster accord and has won praise from participants for his appreciation of family, friends and freedom. The last element has become a huge part of his maturation, as it has offered unmovable perspective on the sanctity of security. “We draw energy from people, and it’s important to understand the types of energy we’re picking up and emitting because the streets dehumanize individuals very quickly,” Little said of a lesson gained through evolving from a temptation seeker to a motivational speaker. “I developed ethics in prison and wondered how I could use time in the [correctional] system to benefit me upon my return to society. I’m living proof that we can alter our thinking and become masters of our thought processes and then leaders of others’ dreams.” FOR MUCH OF his adolescence, Little seemed destined to become deceased evidence of the perils of pursuing detrimental

distinction. The North Carolina native came to Philadelphia as an infant and developed an identity as “a quiet kid” favoring mental exercises to physical pursuits. “That nature changed as I came to witness violence,” he said of observing aggression against local women, including his mother, with an acquaintance of hers pointing a gun in his face when he was 13. “Eventually, any sort of fear over what I was seeing evaporated, and I felt I needed to act.” In an out of school before eventually abandoning book-based lessons for streetsituated tutorials, Little became infatuated with the drug culture and actualized his itch to become a hustler. Certain he would either succumb as a victim of his trade or kill a fellow lost soul, he suffered the latter possibility March 18, 1989, when because of a rift between his allies and their rivals, he shot Terrence Brice at 20th and Christian streets. “He lost his life and I parted with so much time over something that was petty, small and ignorant,” Little said of his action and its repercussions. “Here I was, someone who had sought direction during a previous time in jail, heading back to prison for killing a man.” As his initial incarceration and childhood had involved calling on religion as a balm,

Little looked to Christianity for answers yet remained doubtful of his duties to himself and others until becoming an Orthodox Muslim. “I’m not going to say everything just became easy when I accepted Islam,” Little noted. “I still saw violence and encountered territorial disputes, and, yeah, I had urges but I realized I can’t kill my life away. I needed a new approach.” With goodness becoming second nature to him and with enthusiasm over the birth of son Nafis granting him even more intense respect for his behavior and its consequences, he vowed to vanquish his “evil characteristics” and make duels between his strengths and weaknesses no contests. Writing, which he had done before his confinement as a rapper, took on more significance and provided a therapeutic outlet and a mirror into his soul. “We can’t run from the world,” Little said. “We have to reflect on our actions and, to the best of our abilities, we need to avoid the same mistakes.” Aware of judicial notions of clemency, he became familiar with communal offerings of forgiveness when Brice’s aunt and brother pardoned him, the latter doing so after having pondered ending Little’s life as revenge.

“That was huge to receive that blessing,” the forgiven figure said of interacting with would-be aggressor Lamont Hatton. “Times and hearts change.” Little, whose autobiography “I.C.Y.: The Life and Times of Will Little,” features a dedication to Brice, has come to use “Where you start does not determine where you will finish” as his mantra and aspires to have his journey situate him as a force within numerous communities, all for the glory of selecting rejuvenation over rehabilitation. “I could have passed by tons of trouble, but I didn’t,” he said. “I paid the price, but who really, deep down, wants to incur the costs of crime?” Working on a TV show called “Turnaround” and seeking to transform his cautionary tale into a movie, Little, 25 years after siding with violence, no longer covets infamy; instead, he craves composure. “It’s an understatement that life can be difficult,” he said, “but what about all the good just waiting to occur?” SPR For more information, contact littwilli@ aol.com.

LIFESTYLES

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Attention deficit disorder

I

just can’t handle the shock. It’s just overwhelming. Like for instance if you read that Lindsay Lohan was cast to play St. Bernadette. MSN is reporting that “Nashville is embracing heavy metal.” Mötley Crüe is hanging out with country guys. As one of the Crüe explained about writing country songs, a guy gets drunk and loses his wife and his car. Maybe not in that order. He probably loses his dog, too. You’re not a country star if you haven’t lost at least one beloved dog. Pretty soon Taylor Swift will be channeling her inner Joan Jett. Can’t wait. ... I’m a big fan of good bagels. I’m kind of a bagel purist. I refuse to buy blueberry ones. My Jewish friends get credit for enlightening me about bagels as I grew up. I have learned that there’s a process to making them. For instance, real bagels are boiled before they are baked. They have to be chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. The bagel was invented (I think “created” is a much better word) in Krakow, Poland sometime in the 1600s. Bless you, Krakow. The most prominent kinds are the New York and Montreal types. Contrary to popular belief, the Montreal bagel is not made in the shape of a hockey puck. Likewise, the New York bagel is not so named for its abrasive personality. Unlike the New York bagel, the Montreal style is boiled in honey sweet water before baking in a wood-fired oven. The New York style contains salt and, after boiling, is baked in a standard oven. Some of my Jewish friends consider me a heretic for preferring the sweeter Montreal bagel. I hastily point out I steadfastly refuse to eat Montreal bagels containing chocolate chips. Not a small concession because I love chocolate chips. I should not be lumped in with people who buy frozen supermarket bagels and German VWs. Incidentally, to those of you who buy bagels at Dunkin’ Donuts, you’re not even part of the conversation. I am the first to tell you I am not qualified to take sides on the Mummers controversy. Even though members of my family marched in the Mummers Parade for years, I was a part of that wing of the family that stayed home with my uncles and cousins watching football bowl games. I was not then and am not now anti-Mummer. I respect the tradition and still enjoy going out to Broad Street to greet neighbors and friends. The parade is admittedly

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

a backdrop. I did the Mummers a favor not marching with them. I don’t only have two left feet, both of my feet are on backwards. Over the years, the crowds have admittedly diminished between Oregon Avenue and Methodist Hospital. I think more because the population in our area has gotten older and can’t get out to the parade the way they did in the past. The spirit is willing, well, you know the rest. If the new route, as expected, excludes my area, I think that’s a real shame. You don’t have to know all the words to “Alabama Jubilee” to appreciate what the tradition of the Mummers Parade has meant to so many folks around here. I defer to the parade folks who work so hard all year in keeping this Philadelphia tradition alive. But I do so, not without sadness. Because of newspaper deadlines, I write this not knowing if the situation in Ferguson, Mo., has gotten better. I do know that from this distance, without all the facts, we should not reflexively take sides. My father retired as a Philadelphia cop with 35 commendations to his credit. My uncle was also a cop. I have also contributed to the ACLU. My interest (and I hope yours) is to see justice done and to prevent other Fergusons across the country. I have read the city of Cincinnati, as a result of a similar circumstance last year, formed a citizens committee and a police outreach program that is being lauded for its success. There is no perfect solution. In Philadelphia and other urban areas, I do think Councilman-at-Large Jim Kenney’s bill approved by Council to decriminalize marijuana is a good start toward lessening the confrontations between police and inner city residents. Legalization would be better. The overall so-called War on Drugs has been a notorious and expensive failure. It’s time we admit it. No country imprisons as much of its population as we do. Not China. Not Russia. Not Iran. None. That’s what the War on Drugs has brought us. At this writing, Mayor Michael Nutter has still not made a decision on whether to sign on to decriminalize the possession of relatively small amounts of pot. His reasons for not doing so make little sense. The problems in Ferguson are deeply rooted, not only in the War on Drugs, but decriminalizing drug abuse would be a big step toward defusing the tension between the police and minority communities around this entire country. Impeach President Barack Obama? Indict Texas Gov. Rick Perry? Since when did hardball politics become a crime in America? In 2014, that’s when. And it sucks for our political system’s future. From heavy metal to bagels to the Mummers to Ferguson. It’s either America today or maybe I have attention deficit disorder. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Shining in the City of Lights

Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) reunite after nine years and though their zest for life has waned, their attraction to each other has remained intense.

■ By R. Kurt Osenlund

Mata Hari (1931)

Movie Reviewer

T

he Paris-set thriller “As Above, So Below” hits theaters Friday. Check out these Parisian alternatives.

Paris, je t’aime (2006) Directors like Alfonso Cuarón, the Coen brothers, Olivier Assayas and Gus Van Sant all contributed to this swoony anthology film, which is as much a valentine to lovers as it is to the City of Lights. Among the stars who appeared in the movie’s 18 shorts are Maggie Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Elijah Wood and Juliette Binoche. The film was a hit and spawned the like-minded (if less exceptional) “I Love New York.” Midnight in Paris (2011) Woody Allen’s most successful film is an ode to the bygone era of Paris in the 1920s and also a cautionary tale about the peril of clinging to bygone eras. Playing an Allen-esque romantic is the winning Owen Wilson, who playfully encounters such cultural icons as Salvador Dali (Adrien Brody), Gertrude Stein (Kathy Bates) and Ernest Hemingway (Corey Stoll) as he learns how to live in the present. Before Sunset (2004) The greatest piece of Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke’s “Before” trilogy is actually its middle chapter — a rare feat when it comes to cinematic franchises. The beauty of this Paris-set, 2004 sequel to “Before Sunrise” is it hangs in the air more enticingly and precariously than both its predecessor and successor, with a flirtatious afternoon powerful enough to cause someone to miss his plane.

Mata Hari (Greta Garbo) prefers to deal in secrecy in the World War I-set film.

One of Greta Garbo’s signature roles was as the eponymous femme fatale in this pre-code 1931 head-turner. Capable of entrancing nearly all the men of Paris, courtesan and performer Mata Hari doubles as a dangerous spy, and this film popularized the Mata Hari legend for a generation of enticed filmgoers. Dangerous Liaisons Before there was “Cruel Intentions,” there was Stephen Frears’s devilish adaptation of Christopher Hampton’s play, itself drawn from the 18th century French novel of the same name. Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer lead the cast as three tortured corners of a depraved love triangle, all dependent on a delicate balance of power and appearances. We’re all familiar with characters like Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil; this may mark their definitive screen appearances.

T

he clock on the summer barbecue season is quickly ticking down to its final weeks, but don’t spend too much time staring at that glossy calendar on the fridge. For those looking for something juicy and tasty to accompany the ribs, chicken or other selection, Tom Spychalski’s Grilled Summer Roma Tomatoes may answer the calling. The resident of the 1600 block of South 16th Street said “this is a delicious, easy addition to any summer meal and different than just the usual grilled veggies.” For the beef lovers out there, Tom said these tomatoes taste even better atop a hamburger.

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons of fresh basil 8 slices/pieces of goat or feta cheese Salt and pepper, to taste

and grill for about five minutes. Remove from the grill gently, and allow to cool to room temperature. Top with some additional oil, and serve. Serves four.

them on the side. Their fries were also crisp and piping hot. Jerry’s Bar in Northern Liberties also fared well in the howto-make-oneTaproom on 19th fine-burger department. I liked it because the beef was seasoned and the bun did not overtake the beef. Adding salt and pepper to ground beef is Cooking 101. Little more is needed to make a tasty burger. If the seasoning is Jerry’s Bar off, it results in bland beef. I have had my share of these burgers within the past year and a half. My best burger quest will continue. There are a number of places I want to visit. Bobby’s Burger Palace from celebrity chef Bobby Flay in University City and Cherry Hill has been open for a few years. I am curious about his upscale approach to fast food. I have avoided these restaurants because I am not a fan of chains, but a visit will help me with best burger criteria. A burger with fries will never disappear from menus throughout the country. Restaurants whose focus is the All-American burger appear to be the latest food fad.

ore than a year and a half ago, I set out to find some of the city’s best burgers after sampling ones in South Philly, Center City and Northern Liberties. Some restaurants earned high marks because the chefs know how to grill a perfect burger. I prefer my burger made with 80 percent ground chuck. When I bite into it, I want to taste the juices emitting from seasoned ground beef. The ratio of burger to bun is critical, as too much bread ruins the expe-

rience. I like an old-fashioned bun, with or without sesame seeds. Burgers should be grilled medium-rare — anything else is a crime. Keeping it simple is my mantra, as the beef is the star of the show. Top quality cheddar cheese and perhaps a strip or two of crisp bacon add flavor. I am not too fond of burgers made with a combination of ground short ribs, brisket and chuck because the texture is not right. Besides ground chuck, ground lamb can be turned into a terrific burger. One place does it right.

Some fancy restaurants go over the top when it comes to building burgers. Cooks will pile on anything from a fried egg to fancy overdressed salads. I still enjoy oldfashioned burgers the best. I am most happy when a half done kosher pickle spear is on the plate. Devil’s Den, 1148 S. 11th St., gets my vote for top burger. Tell the server exactly how you want it prepared, and your wishes will be granted. The ratio of juicy beef to plain bun is perfect. Order it medium-rare, and it will arrive that way. I also liked the manner in which the tasty cheddar melted on the beef. I don’t like mustard or ketchup on a burger. At Devil’s Den, a tasty aioli is spread on the bun before the burger goes on. It is sloppy but uncommonly good. Sliced red ripe tomato makes it better. It can be ordered sans the aioli. Their fries are crisp and piping hot. The lamb burger at Kennett, 848 S. Second St., is another favorite of mine. When I think of lamb, I immediately think of the eastern Mediterranean. The lamb is perfectly seaKennett soned with harissa, the spicy condiment from Tunisia. It gives the burger a delicious kick. Taproom on 19th, 2400 S. 19th St., does a simple grilled burger that is juicy and flavorful. It is topped with caramelized onions that impart a sweetness that changes the burger experience. I ordered

Rough chop the cooked chicken, and add to the reserved sauce. Take a separate pot, and slowly heat up the Monterey Jack cheese sauce (directions follow); be careful not to scorch it.

The Academy of Culinary Arts grad said speed of service and consistency are two of the main ingredients to putting together a winning game plan for his 60,000-plus crowd of hungry customers. “We want to iron out any kinks,” he said. “This is like our training camp, so when we have the home opener here we are hitting at 100 percent.” For those who prefer watching the Eagles from the comforts of home, the chef is sharing the recipe for the Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese, which is a perfect meal for any home or away game. “It’s not hard; it just takes time,” Hennessy said.

I arrived at Schafer’s needing a routine oil change, but I also needed my front driver side blinker repaired and asked them to look into why my check gas cap message was coming up. The oil change took about 20 minutes and then they began looking into the blinker. What I thought was just a bulb out was actually a fuse issue, so I’m glad I didn’t try to fix it myself. They were thorough in determining the exact issue and were able to fix the problem. Great cost, no BS and stuck to my time schedule.

Rose Marie Cherry (Nee Leotta)

Mestichelli

Beloved wife of Arcangelo Nicholas Mestichelli, was reunited with her parents, Quirino and Venerina (DiFebbo) Santeusanio and her brothers Daniel, Louis, Joseph and Quirino Santeusanio on August 15, 2014 on the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Jessie, as she was known to her family and friends, was born on July 8, 1920 and attended George W. Childs School. She worked as a seamstress and was a dedicated homemaker. In 1940 she met Angelo while he was visiting the Rucci family in the 1900 block of Camac Street. They married on September 18, 1945 and lived with her mother and brothers in the 1600 block of Chadwick Street until 1953 when they bought their first and only home in the 1800 block of Sartain Street. In 2010 she and Angelo relocated to Thousand Oaks, California to be loved and cared for by their daughter, Mary Justine Medeiros, her husband Joe and their children, Justin and Julie Anne Medeiros. Jessie passed away peacefully at age 94 of age related illnesses held in the loving arms of her husband and family at her California home. Jessie is survived by her sisters-in-law, Laura (Quirino) Santeusanio, Roseann (Joseph) Santeusanio and Laura (Daniel) Santeusanio and relatives of the DiFebbo and Falciani families. She is at joyful, eternal rest with her sister-in-law Marie (Louis) Santeusanio and her brothers-and-sisters in laws, Ubaldo and Rose, Frank and Christine and William and Dora Mestichelli. Jessie was the adored aunt to her Mestichelli, Santeusanio and Fitzpatrick nieces, nephews, cousins and their spouses and the beloved great aunt to their children. Her greatest joy these last years was sharing her life with her great-great nieces and nephews Haylee and Morgan, Donald, Isabella, Rosina, Olivia, Thomas, Nicholas, Colin and Avianna. Jessie was a treasured and respected neighbor of her South Philadelphia community, especially by her neighbors Victor and Loretta Pomante and their children who loved and cared for her like their own mother and grandmother. She was a member of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Nicholas of Tolentine Churches. She was a long time member of the Marconi Senior Citizens Program and the South Philadelphia Older Adult Center where she is remembered as a generous, loving friend that so enjoyed attending the weekly dances and holiday celebrations. She was truly blessed with loving friends and the assistance of the dedicated, caring staff of The Reserve at Thousand Oaks and Family Care Cottages for the last years of her life. In lieu of flowers and gifts to our family, memorial contributions may be made to the Gary Sinise Foundation, PO Box 50008, Studio City, CA 91614-5001 (http://bit.ly/1jRq2jX) that is accomplishing so much for our veterans, or the St. Joseph’s University Alumni Fund, 5600 City Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19131-1395 (http://bit.ly/1BKpxQw).

Dragons’ breadth A baseball team with heavy local ties made history by advancing to the Little League Baseball World Series. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

F

The Taney Dragons had much to celebrate during their stint in Williamsport, especially after Jared Sprague-Lott’s three-run homer Aug. 15. P h o t o p r o v i d e d b y t h e Ta n e y D r a g o n s c o u r t e s y o f P e n n L i v e . c o m

off a 17-2 ledger to garner their invitation, with a 5-1 mark to capture the Bristol, Conn.-situated Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament cementing their status as producers of profound pride. Their diverse makeup, including the dynamic presence of star pitcher Mo’ne Davis, also captivated the nation, but every Dragon knew that no matter how much faith that followers had in the group, belief in the collective mission would carry the day. “It was nice to know we had so many people rallying behind us,” Jack, the club’s third baseman, said. “In the end, we had to stay composed and not become nervous. We were just so caught up in the game that we didn’t feel distracted.” “It’s funny,” his patriarch added. “I knew people were interested in us, but I thought that meant people at Palumbo and some people around the city. Then when thousands of people attended our games, I fully grasped our appeal. We’re thrilled to have won so many hearts.”

THE TANEY PROGRAM commended in 1994, with Alex Rice having coached for seven years within the system. He acquired a charter last year and revels in reviewing his athletes’ rapidly attained renown. “We’re relatively new but that didn’t matter as the year unfolded,” he said. “What became important was playing for one another and growing.” That determination to develop occurred mainly in South Philly, as though the Dragons use Center City’s Markward Playground, whose address on South Taney Street gives them their name, they have called upon sites such as Palumbo; Chew Playground, 18th Street and Washington Avenue; Citizens Adjusters Park, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue; Columbus Square Park, 12th and Wharton streets; and FDR Park to augment their affinity for playing as a team and mastering the art of having fun. “The team aspect is what makes every-

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php thing more enjoyable for me,” Jared, who, along with Jack and five other Dragons, has also produced great moments for the Anderson Monarchs, based out of the Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 744 S. 17th St., said. “Plus, I love hitting.” He and his peers sealed their trip to Williamsport Aug. 10 with an 8-0 blitz over a Newark club in the Mid-Atlantic championship game, with Mo’ne whiffing six in the blanking. In Aug. 15’s World Series opener against the Southeast squad, the former South Philly inhabitant again proved dominant in a 4-0 win, tallying eight more punchouts to become the first female to hurl a shutout at the August tournament and owing a huge debt of her day to Jared, who smacked a three-run homer in the first inning. Their fortune continued two days later in a 7-6 decision over a Southwest outfit, with another ex-local, Zion Spearman, scoring the winning run in the home half of the sixth. Mo’ne, whose blazing fastballs and infectious smiles helped her to become the first Little Leaguer to score a Sports Illustrated cover, and who in a press conference noted “I never thought that at the age of 13 I would be a role model, but now it’s real,” yielded three runs in Aug. 20’s 8-1 setback to the West representative, and despite a great comeback the next day versus the Great Lakes squad, the Dragons bowed out of the double-elimination gathering with a 6-5 loss. “We went 19-4 against amazing competition,” Alex Rice said of tournament stops. “When I recall that list, the amount of goals we were able to check off was astounding.” Popularity has certainly not bred contempt for the Dragons, with their leader commending their humility and integrity in being gracious and thankful for all the attention, even if it has left them immensely fatigued. He is determining how he can continue to spearhead their maturation, but no matter what the future bears, this month will go down as that which sparked “Taney Fever,” the remedy for which nobody will seek. “Thanks for the support,” Jack Rice said. “I’m glad we brought people joy.” SPR

ollowing a February practice, Taney Youth Baseball Association head coach Alex Rice reviewed a checklist of goals with players Jared SpragueLott and Jack Rice, the latter being his son. The Center City resident placed qualifying for the Little League Baseball World Series at the bottom, and his Dragons saved their best for last, as their heavily South Philly-infused bunch not only ventured to Williamsport, Pa., they claimed third place out of the eight-squad strong American contingent. “This has been such a special group, and we’ve made amazing memories,” the older Rice said Tuesday at Palumbo Recreation Center, 700 S. Ninth St., the hub for his 12-player unit. “I knew coming into this year we definitely had the talent to make some noise.” Aside from creating figurative fanfare among one another courtesy of their bonds, the youths inspired thousands of spectators to offer sonorous support at Lamade Stadium and have generated tremendous buzz in the City of Brotherly Love as the lone Philadelphia team ever to have made its way to the Little League Baseball World Series, which this year celebrated its 75th anniversary. They have become media darlings, receiving a Welcome Back celebration Sunday at Love Park and yesterday’s honorary parade, an extravaganza that included a Mummers performance at Broad Street and Washington Avenue and a rally at FDR Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. “From the beginning of the year, we all had the same mentality, which is never to give up,” Jared, a shortstop and resident of the 700 block of South Ninth Street said. “It was an amazing time, and I’m sad that it’s over.” “These kids have worked in tandem so well for so long that being buoyed by support from family, friends and teams we faced to get to Williamsport, they were able to translate their ambition into greatness,” assistant coach Leland Lott, Jared’s father, said of their pageant proficiency. “Nobody can ever take that success from them.” The Dragons, with roster members hailing from various parts of the city, ripped
