Fallen, but not forgotten

To the Editor: The Phillies had a very disappointing year, and this may be considered their darkest hour. Even though I am not a hardcore sports fan, I do happen to love the Phillies. I was a late bloomer, jumping on the bandwagon in 2008. I took the time to learn the game, know each player and quickly became a loyal fan. I was shocked at how fast I caught on, as each game became more exciting than the previous one.

Phillies mania was everywhere and everyone seemed to feel the rush. Between the fireworks and the cheers that could be heard for miles, they were memories to be cherished forever! The Phillies won the World Series, and our city became an overnight sensation. If only for a short time, it was grand.

Unfortunately, it is human nature to forget those happy events and focus on these less memorable seasons.

We sometimes have a what-haveyou-done-for-me -lately mentality.

Sure, everyone loves a winner, but the reality is that you cannot always win. I am going to my first game since the season started, and ironically it will be one of their last. I love the excitement of being at Citizens Bank Park. I am very eager to see a game there once again.

Win or lose, I will be cheering them on, proudly wearing my [Shane] Victorino jersey. Although no longer with them, he will remain a Phillie in my heart forever! I may not have known you guys very long, but good, bad or indifferent, I never want to be considered a fair-weather friend.

While everyone is now focused on the popularity of the Eagles, I wanted to let it be known that the past achievements have not been forgotten, and I wish the Phillies the best of luck next year.

“I have the pleasure [of] working with chef/owner Mohan Parmar of Lovash Fine Indian Cuisine & Bar (“Lovash Restaurant’s Goast’e Lovash,” Sept. 18). He is a master chef in Indian culinary, as well as various multi Cuisines.

He is my inspiration and always will be.”

“Missing from the narrative (“Genius,” Sept. 18) is, of course, speculation or knowledge of what may have caused the streaks. I’ll bet the iPad was jarred when it hit the floor. No one, of course, caused it to fall.”

Refreshing change “I stopped smoking in 2008 [on] July 5th. I just chinked the smoke in the street and never lit another one (“What do you think of CVS’ decision to stop selling cigarettes?,” Sept. 18) ... and now I hate the smell of smoke.”

“Dear Dufus (your choice of names not mine) - the narrative contained the brief speculation by the Apple genius. None of us knew what happened except that we expected the “genius” to do more than flip it over in his hand once and try to sell us a replacement. Incidentally in learning that a couple of slight taps with a hammer could fix it, the Internet indicated the problem seems to be common with iPads. Your speculation could qualify you as an Apple genius.”

“GOOD IDEA CVS. .... BABY STEPS TO CHANGE!”

A female suffered multiple wounds from an attack at her Lower Moyamensing site.

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

hile helming operations at Trinity Staffing Services, 2340 S. Broad St., just after 9 a.m. Sept. 18, the site’s proprietor came in contact with a man inquiring about a job, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When the owner informed him she knew of no openings at Lincoln Financial Field or any other sports venue, the man allegedly became incensed and stabbed her three times in the chest with a kitchen knife.

He reportedly stole the woman’s purse and fled after supposedly punching a colleague in the chest and striking her with the phone that she had picked up to call police and headed toward the Broad Street Subway, with a witness giving chase, Tolliver said. Authorities and SEPTA personnel halted the northbound train at the Girard Avenue stop but did not find anyone matching the description, which, according to the second victim, was of a black man, likely in his 30s, with a cornrow hairstyle and a goatee and wearing blue jeans and a blue shirt. The first complainant walked across the street to Methodist Hospital, from which she received transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, and has since been released.

Based on an application that the supposed attacker had previously filled out, authorities placed his image in a photo array and, through positive identification by the co-worker, arrested 46-year-old Paul Abrams in his North Philly home at 8:45 a.m. Saturday. They charged him with possession of an instrument of crime, attempted murder, theft, assault, robbery, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief. He had not posted his $150,000 bail as of press time and awaits an Oct. 7 preliminary hearing.

Ordered to stand trial A West Philly resident who allegedly killed a housemate and torched her car in Grays Ferry will have a formal arraignment next month.

On Sept. 17, Jeremiah Jakson, 22, had his first day in court since his July 16 arrest for supposedly strangling 23-year-old Laura Araujo. At the preliminary hearing, authorities discussed a video-statement

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

through which they contend Jakson said a female friend killed the recent Art Institute of Philadelphia graduate July 13 and that he assisted with the robbery of her laptop computer and camcorder, helped to dump her body in a North Philly lot and aided in the torching of her 2011 Toyota RAV4.

Law enforcement agents located the automobile on the 1600 block of South Bambrey Street July 14.

Jakson and Araujo lived in the same rooming house in the Mantua section of Philadelphia, with police, using the detained individual’s supposed confession, saying the slaying occurred there. The medical examiner’s report noted someone had tied the victim’s ankles, neck, torso and wrists with cords and divulged strangulation as the cause of death. The document added Araujo’s face suffered from blunt-impact-trauma wounds, her head had swelling and a hand featured puncture wounds.

The search for answers led police to Jakson, who, they said, sought treatment at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for burns to his forearms and abdomen shortly after the discovery of the burning vehicle. At his hearing, Municipal Judge Teresa Carr Deni ordered Jakson to stand trial for abuse of a corpse, murder, robbery and related charges. Court records have his formal arraignment set for Oct. 8.

Saucy circumstances Police arrested a Point Breeze resident for allegedly assaulting a business owner last week.

At 4:19 p.m. Sept. 15, the owner of Point Breeze Crab and Seafood, 1324 S. 21st St., attempted to deal with a customer who had become irate over the establishment’s lack of cocktail sauce, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

The patron supposedly began yelling and cursing at the complainant and allegedly caused a head laceration after hurling a metal flower pot at her.

The complainant exited the business after the reported offender’s departure and announced intentions to call the police. The victim stated the upset customer grabbed her by the neck, threw a liquid at her and delivered punches to her face before scurrying from the scene.

Using relayed flash information, a police officer attempted to stop the purported attacker outside a residence on the 2000 block of Dickinson Street but could not keep her from running inside, Tolliver said. The law enforcement worker secured the rear of the property and made an arrest following positive identification by the proprietor, who received transport to HUP for a scalp laceration, swelling to her forehead and scratches to her left arm.

POLICE REPORT Authorities charged Nafeesa Green with aggravated and simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person. The 29-yearold posted her $3,000 bail and awaits a Sept. 30 preliminary hearing.

Financial fury An at-large male attacked a woman for her purse in Passyunk Square last week.

Waiting for a bus on the 700 block of Reed Street at 7:55 p.m. Sept. 14, the complainant observed the man coming from the 600 block of Reed. He appeared to be talking on a cell phone yet as he approached her, he tried to snatch the victim’s pocketbook, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

The complainant refused to part with the possession, which led the offender to punch her in the face. She retained a hold on the item despite more blows, with the aggressor finally giving up when an unknown female pedestrian yelled at him, leading him to flee southbound on Seventh Street from Reed.

The victim, who received transport to

Cashed out A delivery man for an East Passyunk Crossing establishment ended up robbed in Point Breeze two weeks ago.

At 11:33 p.m., police ventured to the 1800 block of South Mole Street for a report of a robbery. Meeting with a worker from Adobe Café, 1919 E. Passyunk Ave., they learned that after making a delivery on the block, an unknown male approached him from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

Placing his arm around the neck of the complainant, the stranger pushed a firearm into his side and demanded money, with the accosted individual turning over $80. The gun holder, whom the victim described as black, 20 to 23 years old, 5-foot4 to 5-foot-6; having a thin build, short black hair and a goatee; wearing a gray and black button up shirt and gray jeans; and armed with a small black weapon, fled northbound on South Mole Street.

The Citywide Vice Unit arrested five local men for allegedly soliciting undercover police officers for sex. On Sept. 19, the law enforcement division conducted a patronizing initiative targeting “Johns” within the Third 100%Police District. That operation led to the detainment of 42-year-old Martin Mini, of the 600 block of Mifflin Street; 35-year-old Dawud Harrigan, of the 2000 block of South 18th Street; 46-year-old Dominick Demuro, of the 2600 block of South Ninth Street; 32-year-old David Yeung, of the 2500 block of South Darien Street; and 40-year-old Jose Xolo-Orec, of the 1100 block of Clifton Street.

Authorities, who charged the men with patronizing prostitution and criminal solicitation, confiscated $1,540, a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant, an ’07 GMC Yukon and an ’07 Toyota Corolla. Mini, Yeung and XoloOrec await a Sept. 30 status hearing, while Harrigan and Demuro will have a similar court appearance Oct. 7.

Authorities arrested a North Philly woman for supposedly heaving a Molotov cocktail at a West Passyunk home.

Police ventured to the 1900 block of South Hemberger Street Sunday and learned from the complainant that she had an altercation with a woman the day before, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The victim stated that as she entered her home at 3:20 p.m., she saw a red car coming up her street and heard its tires screech.

Turning around, she contends she saw Cinette Washington throw a Molotov cocktail from the automobile. The object hit the wall of her home, Tolliver said, with the complainant running into the residence and discovering liquid from the object had splashed her niece’s face. She called police, who arrested the 27-year-old Washington and charged her with arson, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, terroristic threats and risking a catastrophe.

Hispanic Heritage stronger than ever The month-long celebration of Philadelphia’s vibrant migrant community runs through Oct. 15.

■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

O

ne could regard the growth of the Hispanic Choice Awards, set to take place Oct. 11 at the Merriam Theater, as an apt parallel to the growth of the Hispanic community in Philadelphia over the last 10 years. What started in 2004 at the University of Pennsylvania, with 23 attendees, has grown into a full-blown red-carpeted spectacle on South Broad Street with 1,152 attendees and a corresponding television special on CW Philly with nearly 30,000 viewers.

The purpose of the show is noble: “The Hispanic Choice Awards engages and connects the diverse Delaware Valley to honor and celebrate industry leaders, cross-sector collaborations, and spotlight the Hispanic influence in the region … Our mission is to cheer on their stories and bring them to light.”

The producers of the show, namely Javier Suarez and Cecilia Ramirez, initiated the production of an infographic that would help Philadelphians to visualize and humanize the diverse and ever-growing Hispanic populations that make up for 788,326 residents within the 18 counties that surround and include Philadelphia County.

According to the accompanying press release: “Approximately 65 percent of Latino/Hispanics reported English as their dominant language”; “Philadelphia County experienced a Latino/Hispanic population increase of 68.7 percent, which translates to more than 58,600 additional Philadelphians since 2000”; and “Latino/Hispanics…[have the] purchasing power of $4.2 billion and a homeownership rate of about 45 percent.”

The report and the show arrive on the heels of a weeklong and month-long celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, not unlike the African-American community’s February celebration of culture and history, or the LGBT community’s October historical commemoration.

“I haven’t seen much change in conversations about the changing face of Philadelphia,” Suarez said for the inspiration to create this infographic. “How can we tell our story where people can kind of understand why all of this that’s going on matters. We’re not just a bunch of numbers. We kind of humanize this 13 percent of the population that lives in Philadelphia and the reality is that the growth is still coming — it’s not going to stop.”

Indeed, Philadelphia is becoming a welcoming hub for Latinos as more businesses open and flourish and family members join hard-working Philadelphians establishing roots through honest work.

Sept. 15, 16 and 18 are especially momentous dates for many Hispanic communities. On the 15th, Costa Ricans, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Hondurans and Nicaraguans celebrate their independence. Mexicans celebrate independence on the 16th and Chileans on the 18th.

Welcoming America just wrapped, too, a national weeklong celebration from the 13th to the 21st, coordinated by an umbrella organization that promotes the celebration of what immigration does for America. Welcoming America is, ac-

cording to its website, “a national, grassroots-driven collaborative that works to promote mutual respect and cooperation between foreign-born and U.S.-born Americans.”

“It’s really an attempt to highlight and promote immigrant integration around the country and recognizing that immigrants do have value and are really assets to our community,” Jennifer I. Rodriquez, the executive director at the mayor’s office of immigrant and multicultural affairs, said.

She was in attendance at Sunday’s block party on South Ninth Street and found the attendance and spirit thrilling.

“It was incredible fun — what would the Italian Market be without Mexican communities?” Rodriguez said.

THE HISPANIC CHOICE Awards are generated by community sourcing. The winners are not decided by men in suits but by community votes in the categories of: Education Champion of the Year, Community Advocate of the Year, Business Person of the Year, Company of the Year, Creative Artist of the Year and Lifetime Achievement.

At this fall’s ceremony, Wilmer Valderamma (still well known as Fez from “That ’70s Show”) and Luis Enrique (a Nicaraguan musician sometimes known as “The Prince of Salsa”), will be feted with the Lifetime Achievement award and recognized by local leaders.

“The City is going to recognize them with the Liberty Bell medal that the city often hands out to visitors and dignitaries,” Suarez said.

Last year’s winner for Community Advocate of the Year was none other than Juntos, 2029 S. Eighth St. “The work they do isn’t just needed in South Philly; it’s needed in Norristown and Trenton and the Lehigh Valley and other parts of Philly,” Suarez said.

“We are a community organization working with the Latino immigrant community, and we do our work in a human rights framework, focusing on developing leadership of community members and working collectively on campaigns,” Jasmine Rivera, a Point Breeze resident and the organization’s lead organizer, said.

They were thrilled to be honored, but haven’t lost focus on a long and uphill battle. Undocumented immigrants are at constant threat of deportation and criminalization due to archaic Visa quotas and requirements, but they’re not pessimistic.

“No human life is illegal. No matter where you’re born, you should have the same human rights. You can’t control your birthplace or your race or your gender — we have inherent rights and we can work together,” Rivera said. “We can move forward to create a better society for all.”

They’ve worked on eradicating U.S. Immigrant and Customs Enforcement holds, a process the American Civil Liberties Union says is used “to apprehend individuals who come in contact with local and state law enforcement agencies and put them into the federal deportation system.” One fight they’re hopeful can be won is the Dream Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors), a program that would establish conditional residency for immigrants with a high school degree so they can attend college with in-state tuition rates and secure upward mobility.

Rivera and her Juntos peer, youth organizer Miguel Andrade, note there’s an extremely vibrant Puerto Rican community in North Philadelphia (Puerto Rican descent is the most represented ethnicity of Philadelphia-area residents at 50 percent).

Puerto Ricans have been well-established in North Philly but, as Rivera put it, “South Philadelphia has historically been the hub for new migrants to Philadelphia.”

Andrade, however, was lucky enough to benefit from a bilingual education due to Spanish-speaking faculty manning his Cayuga Elementary School.

“When I came to this country I didn’t speak any English,” Andrade said, but he could “easily transition into the U.S. because of the education I was receiving. More and more schools are moving toward that model.”

Or in some cases, like the Garces Foundations’ work at the Southwark School, 1835 S. Ninth St., with Puentes Hacia el Futuro (Bridge to the Future), community members are coming into schools to help young students for whom English is not their first language.

But, like Suarez says, Hispanic Heritage month is not all about celebrating.

“The bottom line is that we work in every industry. We’re your neighbors. And now that it’s Hispanic Heritage month, it doesn’t mean it’s time to party,” he said. “We’re living life and going to work.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview. com or ext. 117.

CHOP CARE continued from page 1 what it will be called, and it’s a CHOP-City partnership, the first of its kind perhaps nationally, one that all involved hope will “serve as a national model for public-private collaboration,” according to a joint press release.

In the release, Dr. Steven M. Altschuler, CHOP’s CEO, said “the multi-purpose facility that will stand on this site represents CHOP’s commitment to finding new and innovative ways to improve the health and well-being of children … It is the first time that a city and hospital have come together in the management of population health in ways never envisioned before.”

Though the neighborhood will miss its playground and library for the next year, the facilities that will be in place before the end of 2015 will be pretty extraordinary. Health Center 2, operated by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, will be above the first-floor library in an almost 30,000 square-foot space. The playground, dating back to 1961, will use modern soft surfaces and be accompanied by a green space and rain garden, while the rec center will house a computer lab and expand programming. And the library, with the help of a gift from the William Penn Foundation, will be one of the Free Library’s 21st Century libraries outfitted with new technologies. It is expected to draw an additional 35,000 customers annually.

“We had a meeting one night when we were first starting to talk about this project,” Peter Grollman, CHOP’s vice president of government affairs, community relations and advocacy, said, “and the kids came off the basketball court and into the rec center, and we had a really good discussion with them. We want to make it right. We want to make it great.”

Grollman emphasized that CHOP and the City were eager to include neighbors in the conversation along the way.

“When we came in and decided to move forward with this project with the city, one of the first things we did was have community meetings and introduce ourselves.

We had a chance to learn about what their priorities are and what was important to them,” he said, noting that, for many area residents, this block was where they took out their first library book or received their first shot.

But he’s confident that, once folks in Newbold, Point Breeze, Passyunk Square and East Passyunk Crossing see

the finished space, they’ll be converted.

“All of it comes together in one city block - it will be a true community health and literacy center, one stop shopping in ways that have never been envisioned before,” he said.

“THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT getting to this point — it really lets one start to envision ‘Oh, this is going to happen.

There will be a facility here,” Susan Kretsge, deputy mayor of health and opportunity, one of many VIPs in attendance at Sept. 18’s groundbreaking ceremony, said.

“It’s a goal not to keep these facilities out of commission any longer than they need to - we really want to get this center completed and reopen as quickly as we can. They run a tight ship,” Kretsge added, noting the security surveillance is backed up by the City’s commitment to “24hour response from problems in the neighborhood.”

There will definitely be some rumbling, but for Kretsge, “my impression was that the neighbors are really excited.

There were certainly questions” from the three or four neighborhood meetings she attended, but she said everyone will be happy in the end: CHOP and the City “took a look at this full city block and figured out there was a way to have a win-win for everybody.”

Dr. Lisa Biggs, the associate chief medical officer for CHOP, gave a great hypothetical.

laboration than with a rec center that promotes fitness across the age spectrum?” she said. Plus there’s “a library that can coordinate reading and programs around nutrition and meal planning and good nutrition in their lives — it’s a unique opportunity to bring these people together to do something bigger than what they can do on their own.”

The project started when CHOP was looking to expand its South Philly care offices, which see 31,000 patient visits annually, when personnel struck an agreement with the City. According to the release, “Under the agreement, the City will provide a lease on the site at a nominal fee to CHOP along with $2.2 million to support construction.”

CHOP’s pulling the money from donors, New Market Tax Credits provided through Chase Community Equity LLC, Chase New Markets Corporation, Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, City First Bank of D.C. and Commonwealth Cornerstone Group, Ltd.

A Point Breeze dweller will make his fifth turn as an operatic courter.

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

W

hen viewing his first opera, Giuseppe Verdi’s “Aida,” as a 16-year-old, Taylor Stayton did not exactly offer the classic as much esteem as the other attendees, as he fell asleep and missed three-quarters of the show. With much more exposure to and comprehension of the operatic world, the Point Breeze inhabitant has gone from a listless patron to a lively performer and will help Opera Philadelphia to open its 40th anniversary season tomorrow as Count Almaviva in “The Barber of Seville.”

“In the company of my friends, I’m typically able to be a goofy person, so with this opportunity, it’s nice to be doing comedy,” the 29-year-old said of the 1816 masterpiece by Gioachino Rossini. “I’m happy to be working with Opera Philadelphia again, especially because of its anniversary.”

The tenor will be making his second assignment for the Center City-situated entity at The Academy of Music and will be handling the role of Count Almaviva for the fifth time. Dubbing the opera buffa “fun and bubbly,” he loves that it lets him execute a lighthearted look at love rather than a somber, morose treatment.

“It’s always better to address the positive and not ex-

LIFESTYLES clusively to be in situations where someone is thinking ‘Oh, my love has left me, and I just can’t go on,’” Stayton said of playing the noble, who craves the heart of Dr. Bartolo’s ward, Rosina. “It’s great, then, to explore this again and for the first time in Philadelphia.”

Having portrayed Count Almaviva, who wishes to win affection through wit and wisdom instead of his social status, in France, Germany, Minnesota and Tennessee, the highly regarded hire sees the figure as fitting in nicely with his evolution as an artist. Not one to obsess over crafting a five- or 10-year plan for his career, Stayton holds that playing the courting count will further his voice’s maturation, a growth process that he hopes will yield commissions with bigger orchestrations and even more tasks for his talent.

“No matter what comes along, if I get to sing and be up there to perform, I’m going to enjoy myself, and that’s why I do it,” he said. “That’s what makes it fulfilling to me.”

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

that allowed him to pursue his penchant for emulating such classic rock standouts as The Beatles; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; and Steely Dan. Singing and playing guitar for the groups, he helped to craft two albums and eventually experienced an evolution in his musical tastes, a transformation that has bred numerous jobs, accolades and aspirations.

“Classic rock was a huge influence,” Stayton said of his teenage years. “I mean who can listen to [The Beatles’] ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ and not be moved? However, I came to find something to love about all types of music.

Something is always there for you to observe and learn from if you choose to. I’m not saying I’m enlightened or anything.

I’m just receptive to someone’s decision to let out feelings and thoughts through music.”

Taking voice lessons as a high school senior, he gained confidence in his identity as a creator and an interpreter and matriculated at Ohio State University, where he found his voice for opera.

“It was great to excel there and to get a sense of what I could accomplish,” Stayton said of his preparation, which, having made his initial sleep-inducing encounter with opera a distant memory, eventually

landed him in Philadelphia.

Confessing to being “lazy” in thinking about where to go to better his delivery, the singer attended The Academy of Vocal Arts, residing in Center City as he added to the location’s legacy by performing in such works as “Don Giovanni,” “Cosi fan tutte” and “Falstaff.” Following a brief period in New York, he and then-fiancée Katrinka, whom he married May 16, returned to Philadelphia and have spent two-and-ahalf years in South Philly.

“I stay here because I love the city,” Stayton said of nurturing his domestic life and professional existence. “As of now, I’m getting work and I’m happy about what I do. Whatever comes my way, if it’s good, I’ll take it, and if it’s not a great fit for me, I’ll need to consider what to do.”

Fortunately for him and his bride, the thoughtful performer, whom Opera News has revered for his “laser-bright timbre” and “exceptional fluidity above the staff,” has met with favor far more than he has tangled with disapproval. With prominent national and international appearances, including time in Illinois, New York and Italy, he has become a well-received, incredibly accountable presence and a consummate recipient of critics’ praise, as evidenced by his capturing first-prize distinction in the

Licia Albanese Puccini Foundation International Voice Competition and the Gerda Lissner Foundation International Voice Competition.

“Good music is good music, and I’ve been thrilled to have had so many memorable occasions to express my enthusiasm for the material,” Stayton, also an alumnus of the prestigious Martina Arroyo Foundation’s Prelude to Performance program, said. “With regards to the material, it doesn’t matter who did it or when it first appeared. If it moves you, it moves you.

It’s that simple.”

As he becomes more aware of what can entice him to make even more insightful perceptions on his art’s possibilities, Stayton does not figure to force his career’s crescendo, seeing his voice as a muscle to flex responsibly, not flaunt unabashedly.

“I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing,” he said of his intended approach. “I do want to evolve and will do that by seeing where this road takes me. So far, I’ve liked the results.” SPR For tickets, call 215-893-1018, or visit operaphila.org.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Sour September

T

he other day, Uncle Nunzi asked if I believe the president when he says there will not be American boots on the ground in Iraq. Uncle believes the president may be deceiving us. When is the last time you saw any shoes made in America? In effect, Uncle believes the president intends to put American troops back in Iraq wearing good leather Italian boots, and then claim he kept his promise.

Most military experts believe that in order to defeat ISIS effectively, you can’t do it with air strikes alone. You need ground troops.

Our Arab allies are skittish about putting their own boots on the ground. I don’t care if their troops wear open-toed sandals, it’s time they stop depending on us (of course, it would help, on the other hand, if we stop depending on their oil). ISIS keeps threatening us should we introduce ground troops. My personal preference, if I were in the infantry, would be to enter the country in the dead of night without any formal introduction.

September has been a sour month all around. I’ve lost count of how many celebrities have died. It’s been difficult for the mainstream media to keep with the celebrities cashing in their chips (a phrase that has particular resonance with Atlantic City casinos closing in bunches). I suggest we here at the South Philly Review put out a special edition solely dedicated to covering the deaths of famous people. It is the only way to do justice to our infatuation with celebrities. Call our special edition Dead Celebs. We shouldn’t restrict ourselves to only covering the deaths of the rich and famous residing below Snyder Avenue.

Some of you get upset when this newspaper occasionally reviews a restaurant that is more than a subway stop from your home, but, hopefully, you will feel differently about our dead celeb policy. Our intention is to overhype and overpraise any famous person who dies, no matter how minimal his or her talent. I admit that should Kim Kardashian pass, the policy would pose a major challenge, but, hopefully, Kim will live a long and prosperous life and continue naming her offspring after the points of a compass.

Hardly a week went by in September without some disturbing off-the-field incident in the National Football League. I never thought I’d see the day when TMZ became more important than Sports Illustrated in keeping up with the NFL. The Ray Rice abuse case is still being adjudicated. Rice is appealing his indefinite suspension because of what he considers double jeopardy. Initially, NFL

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

Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Rice for only two games until TMZ came forth with the infamous second video. By the time the case is fully litigated, Rice and his wife will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, and he’ll be too old to play in any but the two-hand touch league in Florida’s retirement communities (losing team pays for the early-bird specials).

One thing Rice will want to keep in mind is never to hire Adrian Peterson to baby-sit his children. Most people I know believe Petersen went too far in disciplining his 4-year-old (except for Vikings fans or those who have Peterson in their fantasy football league). As you probably know by now, Peterson used a switch on his child (rumor has it the reason for the beating was the boy could not recite Adrian’s 2013 rushing statistics), and is rumored to have done the same thing to another of his children. Somebody (was it TMZ again?) released photos of the terrible marks left on the child’s body. Peterson’s defense is that his own parents used a switch to discipline him (and we all know how wonderful Peterson has turned out).

After Peterson was indicted for child abuse, the Vikings sat him down for a week. After Minnesota was figuratively whipped the following Sunday, the team decided that one week off was sufficient punishment for their star running back. A recap is in order right about here concerning NFL justice. You can be suspended four games for smoking pot, two games if you score a clean knockout of your soon-to-be wife (unless the media and sponsors complain and then the commissioner changes his mind and suspends you indefinitely) and get an unofficial one game suspension if you whip the daylights out of your kid.

Unfortunately for Peterson and the Vikings, NFL sponsors responded to angry complaints from parents as far away as Grenoble (where they have always treated their children with kid gloves of their own manufacture since the 1300s). Note — aren’t you impressed by the wealth of information sometimes available in these columns? The Vikings subsequently were forced to suspend Peterson until the charges are resolved in court. Peterson’s jersey joins that of Rice in an NFL recycling bin developed specifically for the purpose of disposing of the jerseys of disgraced players. The bin bears the name of a corporate sponsor.

You want to know how sour September has really been? Olive Garden has been attacked for its policy of giving out unlimited breadsticks. The restaurant chain defends its policy by saying that it represents “Italian generosity.” Uncle has news for Olive Garden: Italians would never even call those doughy sticks “bread.” You want Italian generosity, he says, maybe you should serve real Italian food.

Five Denzel delights

Denzel Washington has excelled in bad-guy roles like his portrayal of heroin kingpin Frank Lucas in 2007’s “American Gangster.”

■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

D

enzel Washington’s latest, “The Equalizer,” opens Friday. See these first.

Flight (2012)

Denzel Washington’s portrayal of Whip Whitaker earned him an Oscar nod.

Washington’s best performance is as Whip Whitaker, the alcoholic pilot in this unique dramatic feat, which begins as a disaster film then morphs into a compelling character study. Whip may manage to fly a seemingly doomed plane upside down so as to save passengers, but he still needs to contend with the ramifications of the fact that, amid the disaster, he himself was as high as kite.

Training Day (2001) The film that won Washington a Best Actor Oscar casts him as Alonzo, a deeply corrupt narcotics detective in Los Angeles. His on-edge trainee, played by Ethan Hawke, slowly dismantles the shield Alonzo uses to cover his shady ways, but that doesn’t stop Washington from utterly stealing the show. He’s not a loose cannon; he’s a lit fuse.

The Pelican Brief (1993) This under-appreciated John Grisham adaptation stars Washington alongside Julia Roberts, who plays an in-over-her-head law student to his game-for-anything political reporter. Her detailed and prescient brief about the murder of two Supreme Court justices lands the pair in hot water, and the late director Alan J. Pakula documents their cat-and-mouse chase with elegance and suspense.

Fallen (1998) Horror flicks are a dime a dozen, but how many feature a demon that passes from one possessee to the next via touch?

That’s the conceit of this pseudo-cult Washington title from 1998, which was set and shot in Philadelphia, and stars the actor as a police detective who’s all but helpless against the evil presence he’s after. There are ample indelible thrills in the film, but what lasts longest are the creepy connotations it permanently applies to the Rolling Stones’ cover of “Time Is on My Side.”

American Gangster (2007) It never fully connected with critics and audiences, but Ridley Scott’s “American Gangster” is a grand crime epic, with Washington in solid, unapologetic form as Frank Lucas, the mafioso who oversaw the Harlem crime scene in the late 1960s and ’70s. Like “Training Day,” this drama sees Washington play a despicable figure, and yet, his determination makes you root for him nonetheless.

wenty four bands, five stages, three emcees and 12 hours of continuous music — all without a trip to Upstate New York required. The second annual EOM 2STock Music Festival is taking place Saturday at Front and More streets.

“South Philly is known for its horns and banjos,” organizer Tom Betteridge said in allusion to the iconic Mummers, “but it is also full of great rock and roll musicians that desperately need to be showcased.”

Being fully aware of what South Philly can offer musically, Betteridge and Rick Terway, the event’s artistic director and longtime bassist on the Second Street music scene, decided to put the abundance of musical talent on display last year. It was also around that time they learned the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association was searching for an event to raise money for its facilities and sports teams. With the resources of IBEW Local 98 and their charitable arm 298, Inc. on board, too, the wheels had been set in motion.

Music is, of course, the key element, and the acts themselves hit the necessary notes across a few genres, with a focus on none other than rock & roll. One headliner will be Carousel Kings, a pop punk band from Lancaster and South Philly fresh off a West Coast tour.

“They just put out an EP and have made some videos. They’re well known all across the country, but this is the first time they’ll be performing live in their own backyard,” Betteridge said. “It’s a big event for them. I know they can’t wait. They kind of remind you of Green Day.” Alongside them at the top of the card is SPiN, a South Philly product that has recently been working on an album in studio and just completed an East Coast tour. With more of a classic, alt rock style, Betteridge points to Dave Grohl’s band the Foo Fighters as being stylistically similar.

The full list of acts, along with plenty of samples and videos, is available online at

eom2stockmusicfestival.org. Worth noting is the slew of local ladies who will take the stage — Alia, Felicia Punzo, Haley Alexandra, Jessica Enrica and Mia Johnson — each offering unique sounds that reach across pop, rock, folk and jazz. Numerous local bar and cover bands that many will surely recognize are set to perform throughout the afternoon. In true music festival style, many acts will also visit the VIP suite after performing for unplugged acoustic sessions Hapag Lloyd, a group of longshoreman who have been playing rock for 40 years, will reunite and play with heavy hearts as they recently lost member Ronnie Rowand to a long battle with cancer. But in memory of Ron, 2STock will be offering a six-month scholarship to the Independent School of Rock and an electric guitar from King’s Music to one lucky child attending the festival.

“My hope is that five or 10 years from now that kid will be playing on our stage,” an emotional Betteridge said. “Our goal is also by then we’ll be the premier musical festival in Philadelphia. I think we have the location for it in Pennsport, and there is nothing else like this in the city."

Taking up an entire baseball field and then some, 2STock boasts a litany of amenities and features complimenting the music experience. Food will be provided by Moonshine, 1825 E. Moyamensing Ave., which opened this year to much acclaim. Beer and other concessions will also be available. For children, Dougherty Electric is sponsoring a Kids Zone featuring fun inflatables and a magic show. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society rounds out the activities with its Building Beauty program and will be on hand to discuss its residential program for green storm water management.

General admission tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for juniors, with both options available online at eom2stockmusicfestival. org as well as locally at King’s Music, 1828 E. Passyunk Ave., and South Street Magic 617 E. Passyunk Ave. The aforementioned VIP ticket, which includes food and beverages as well as entry to the VIP suite, is priced at $100.

All in all, it promises to be an exciting day of local music talent going hard on stage, with everything benefiting great local causes. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/ features.

his week’s hot debate —pun intended — is what ingredient makes a delicious sandwich. Unfortunately, there is only a half page allotted for this recipe feature, so for the sake of argument, hot pepper is the answer. What to do with this flavorful item is the next question. No need to stand in the kitchen for hours in deep thought as Gina Krussell enjoys featuring the ingredient in her Fried Pepper Sandwich.

The resident of the 1300 block of East Passyunk Avenue even knows the perfect way to top it off: With a Slice of tomato from the always fresh Garden State.

chicken and waffles or a Cobb salad, I wanted a sandwich. Reubens are among my favorite. The fatty corned beef version I had at a New York Upper West Side deli set the standard.

wo weeks ago, I happened upon Cedar Point Bar & Kitchen, a restaurant that opened about a year and a half ago in Fishtown. It has outdoor seating on a lovely deck where parents with young children were sharing the space with singles and couples. Edward and I decided to eat at the bar so we could watch the Phillies.

The bartender told us about happy hour specials, including half-price wings. She told me about her unique Negroni ($8 happy hour) that she prepares and ages in a wood cask. It was absolutely delicious.

Edward sipped a glass of Shawnee porter ($4), and our evening began.

The eggplant dip ($7) was unusual because it was warm rather than cold. I make chopped eggplant — a staple in Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants — all the time.

It needed a bit of pepping up, so some salt did help its flavor. I liked the long, crisp pita chips that added some crunch to the smooth dip.

Cedar Point’s meaty wings ($5.50 happy hour) imparted a spicy kick. The accompanying sauce did little to cool off the hot, lingering flavors. I asked for some blue cheese dressing ($1). The exceptional offering made at the restaurant provided the perfect foil for this appetizer.

I was disappointed in the root salad ($10). A large mountain of arugula was overdressed and a bit warm. Beets, celery root and carrots were included, and they, too, were warm. I think the salad would have fared better if it was served cold.

Although some patrons were eating

and free of grease. All they required was a sprinkling of salt.

The burger ($13) arrived medium-rare on a soft bun. It was properly seared on the outside and juicy inside. A slice of red ripe tomato made me realize tomato season will soon be gone. The french fries were nicely seasoned with the right touch of salt.

Like our local tomatoes, peaches will soon disappear. A peach crisp ($8) was on the dessert list, so I wanted to conclude dinner with something sweet. A deep hot bowl was filled with slightly under-ripe sliced peaches topped with a streusel-like topping and a heaping scoop of rich vanilla ice cream.

Cedar Point was filled indoors and outside during our dinner. The menu is moderately priced, and there are a number of vegetarian options. Service was excellent, and we did not have to wait long between courses.

Restaurants like Cedar Point are popping up all over the city. It is the type of place I would go to on a weeknight when I don’t feel like cooking.

Three tips of the toque to Cedar Point. SPR

Café Ynez recently expanded the menu in August with some heartier items for the fall. While he may be several hours away from his homeland, the culinary leader seems to be feeling right at home on Washington Avenue.

“It’s been great,” he said. “We love how welcoming the neighborhood has been to us.”

In return, Piña is sharing his Carnitas Cemitas recipe — a traditional pulled pork sandwich.

“The dish is one of my favorites, and the trick is that we use Mexican Coke instead of beer,” he said of the patience-requiring dish. “Most folks cook their pork with beer. I like the sweetness that the Coke gives the pork.”

It’s Pasta Night!

tic flavors of the nation’s culinary delights, all that is required is a short commute to Café Ynez, a 28-seat Mexico City-themed diner located at 2025 Washington Ave. Overseeing this South-of-theBorder-inspired creation is executive chef JC Piña, who happens to be a native of Mexico City.

“I love sharing the food that I grew up with, so it’s very exciting for me that they all love it so much,” Piña said.

The Point Breeze establishment, which opened in mid-April, is the newest creation from Jill Weber and Evan Malone. The chef previously served as executive chef at JET Wine Bar, 1525 South St., which the duo also owns.

“Jill, Evan and I really had a collaborative effort putting together the menu, with dishes that I love from my childhood and dishes they loved from their travels to Mexico,” Piña, who credits his mother for inspiring him to become a professional chef, said.

you lots of positive attention. You may have a certain amount of genius pertaining to unusual subject areas. Lucky number: 681.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): It seems that whatever you try to do goes nowhere, or gets lost in a haze of misunderstanding. Taking time off or doing something primarily for the benefit of others without concern for personal gain is favored.

Lucky number: 918.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Competitive urges will expand, and your career now appears to be set for some radical changes. There’s a certain impatience surrounding your activities, and if your current circumstances don’t offer you enough excitement, you’re quite likely to look elsewhere. Lucky number: 240.

ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Speak up, and clear the air of any grievances you have been holding on to for some time. Daydreaming about and reflecting on the past is likely.

Lucky number: 186.

TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): You may be afraid of being honest with a friend, but you’ll be quite surprised

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Family, home and the other roots in your life give you a sense of purpose. Generally, d this is a fruitful period for carefully researched investments, but don’t bite off more than you can chew. Lucky number: 821.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Plans may be pushed aside for a while, but personal goals are attained in the end. To ensure you take the shortest path possible, keep your nose to the grindstone, and don’t allow negative attitudes to curb efforts. Lucky number: 368.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Lack of confidence may take the wind out of your sails, so believe in yourself even when others don’t. Sail straight and true through the currents of self-doubt, and ignore the sometimes jealous remarks of others. Lucky number: 269.

Ram-shackle conclusion PRO A Lower Moyamensing football team suffered a difficult defeat after losing a lead late.

Senior running back Qazi Jones, No. 30, doubled his season total Friday by rushing for 143 yards on 30 carries.

Quarterback Kahssian Kay also eclipsed the century mark, going for 101 yards on seven attempts.

brought on the break with a well-timed interception.

“Defensively, that was really all I saw from you,” Natale said to the youths, many of whom ventured to Southern with him following the June 2013 closing of Edward Bok Technical High School, formerly 1901 S. Ninth St. “Keep your head in the game, and play football.”

NO MATTER WHICH club he has helmed, Natale has always prided himself on fielding well-disciplined defenders, which made Central’s initial second-half play another example of the day’s inconsistency. Scoring on a 67-yard run, the Lancers grabbed their first lead and seemed primed to score a late-afternoon upset. Their first defensive stand of the third quarter finally gave them their inaugural bit of bravado, as they pushed Jones back two yards, held him to no gain on his next carry and wrapped him up for only a three-yard gain, forcing a punt that they would block and recover at Southern’s 17-yard line.

The frustrated faces on the Southern sideline became even more sullen when three rapid running plays produced an-

other touchdown and made the contest a two-possession tilt. No Natale team has ever quit on its leader, and this set of youths kept that distinction intact by calling on decent blocks and Jones’ legs to enter enemy territory. With their leading rusher tallying two first downs, the Rams recovered their regard for their game plan and advanced to the five-yard line thanks to another gorgeous connection between Kay and Coffee. Jones would complete the drive on the next play, with a mix of mistakes from the Lancers giving him and his peers another opportunity to prove their fortitude.

Starting from their own 17, they again called on their workhorse to shed tacklers, and he did by amassing 30 yards on four carries. Despite his efficiency, the Rams needed to perform a gut check on fourthand-1, with Kay being able to stomach the task in sprinting for a 47-yard gain.

He picked up four more on his next run and gave Jones the pigskin for a two-yard score that, with the conversion, endowed the hosts with a 29-24 cushion.

When Central turned the ball over on downs, it looked as if the Rams would es-

cape and that appeared even more the case after they recovered a fumble at their opponents’ 28-yard line. Jones, who would finish with 143 yards, however, took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that negated the promising situation. Beginning their make-or-break drive on their own 12, the underdogs proved to have the more tenacious bite, as running back Tymair Bennett completed his 15-carry, 232-yard day by racing 88 yards to punctuate the upset effort. With 90 seconds left, Southern looked to put kicker Moed Gerveni in position to play the hero, but Kay tossed a fate-sealing interception.

“I hope you learned the lesson that we have to give it our all on every down,” Natale said. “They earned this win over you.”

“We always say that even though teams are talented, we can’t let them take our hearts,” Kay added. “Overall, I think we’re a good team. We play strong but sometimes stuff breaks down. It’s a shame we had that happen when it did.”

The Rams will look for redemption tonight at 6 when venturing to the Northeast super site to face Fels. SPR

o matter the circumstances, losing stings. The football players from South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., dealt with daunting sensations Friday, as the Rams, having fought back after parting with a scoreboard edge, lost their Class AAAA Liberty Division opener, 30-29, to Central at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets, the dagger coming courtesy of an 88-yard touchdown run.

Looking to level their record at 2-2, the Lower Moyamensing-based athletes received extra time to ponder their plans, as their guests’ bus arrived late. The Rams immediately sliced into the Lancers, with hard-earned ground gains from senior Qazi Jones setting up junior quarterback Kahssian Kay for a 64-yard scoring gallop. On their first defensive series, coach Frank Natale’s charges committed three penalties, including a costly facemask infraction, and the visitors vied to prove their rushing prowess, too, eventually punching in a six-yard score.

“They’re showing you who they are,” Natale, the 2013 South Philly Review Readers’ Choice winner as top High School Coach and a resident of the 1600 block of South Juniper Street, said. “Keep showing them what’s inside you.”

Jones again jaunted for valuable space, ripping off 26 yards in three attempts before keeping Southern’s punt unit from leaving the sidelines via a beautiful 23yard dash on third-and-15. Having already proven his legs’ efficiency, Kay launched a 30-yard strike to senior Nicholas Coffee and connected with Jones on a two-point conversion attempt to craft a 15-6 lead.

“Everything is part of the learning process,” Kay, of the 2300 block of South Marshall Street, said. “We wanted to make statements all day.”

After the squads traded futile possessions, Central, which entered with an 0-3 ledger, benefited from finding seams and receiving penalty yardage, with a threeyard rushing play reminding its foe that its roster members also wanted to be boisterous. A Kay fumble just before halftime gave the Lancers solid field position, and they looked destined to have the signal caller rue his turnover when converting a fourth-and-10, but senior Walter King
