Two parents helped a rooftop renovation pick up steam at a Passyunk Square school. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

undreds attended the Green Roof Garden Fall Festival at Andrew Jackson School, 1213 S. 12th St., Saturday afternoon, including parents, neighbors, neighborhood

civic organizations and even Mayor Michael Nutter himself. The highlight of the event was the unveiling and ribbon-cutting of an empty roof space that has been converted into a functional roof garden full of planters and laid with pavers. The event was the culmination of many months of effort on the behalf of a few dedicated parents driven to give back to their school and improve the lives of the site’s nearly 400 students. With the idea that students will benefit from lessons on sustainability, agriculture, and biology, the project has turned an otherwise unused space into a point of pride for the public school. During Nutter’s brief speech before cutting the green ribbon with garden shears, he stressed the importance of projects like these and how inspiring it is to see parents and neighbors giving back

to schools that, across the city, are struggling with dwindling resources. “Our number one concern is the future of our children,” the second-term mayor said. “Folks are not going to be distracted or deterred” from doing good and that we simply must “put politics aside and work for our children.” A great deal of the momentum for this project came from two sociology professors in the district who are married and have a kindergarten and first grade student in the building. Melissa Wilde and Stephen Viscelli, of the 1300 block of Dickinson Street, have been in Philadelphia since 2006, and were able to use their affiliated university’s resources along with a grant they received to get the See GREEN PARTY page 10 >>

Educated thoughts To the Editor: There has been much negativity surrounding the Philadelphia School District over the past year, which has prompted many local politicians to step up and voice their opinions. Maria Donatucci, the representative of the 185th legislative district, voted against authorizing state control of financially distressed schools. Giving the state control of all of the school districts has been a huge mistake that our government has made. This is causing the conversion of many public schools to charters in an effort to save money through funding from outside resources, such as small businesses and private donations. This is simply giving up hope on our public schools instead of funding and attempting to improve them. Donatucci has spoken out about how important it was for our

schools to open on time, describing the issue as a crisis, and she was absolutely correct. We students would be losing valuable classroom time, teachers would be temporarily unemployed, summer child care would need to be extended and parents may have needed to take extra time off from work. It is extremely important for our local representatives to get involved, and relay to Harrisburg and Gov. Tom Corbett the significance of our public schools and education, like Donatucci and others have been doing. She has stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The administration must acknowledge that real changes are already being made.â&#x20AC;? Our school district has been offering reforms to save money and reduce spending, but with the control of financially distressed schools now in the hands of the state instead of our own school district, not many of these efforts are being recog-

nized or alternatively proposed to fund our public schools. The current significance of health care across the country is obvious. Donatucci has accused Corbett of having a poor track record on health care and not taking the necessary steps to help the citizens of Pennsylvania. She requested the House Democrat Policy Committee hear from health care experts at a public hearing in Philadelphia, which has initiated the education process of the effects the expansion of Medicaid would have on Pennsylvaniansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health. With the recent rollout of Obamacare, the expansion of Medicaid will become more important to those living in Pennsylvania. Her efforts are preparing the state for a change that will hopefully and eventually come from Corbett. It is critical that Donatucci remains diligent with her actions and follows up on these issues. Although there have been some improvements and funding to the school district, there are still many hardships being felt throughout the city and even across the state. The

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obama is the most polarizing president ever. His kind, maybe not him personally, has damaged this country more than any president has.

aving received a 7:15 p.m. call from the 2500 block of South 20th Street, police encountered several Philadelphia Fire Department engines battling a large house fire, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The fire marshall revealed he will release a report to authorities upon his investigation’s conclusion, noting nothing suspicious with regards to the fiery scene. Police learned that one person, who received a transport to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, escaped the compromised abode, Tolliver said, with the other occupant succumbing inside the residence. The medical examiner identified the deceased as Anthony DeFino, who spent 19 years as a Court of Common Pleas judge.

Film yields bust Authorities busted a West Passyunk resident last week for her alleged involvement in two robberies. Using video surveillance from a Nov. 19 incident at Dollar Tree, 2437 S. 23rd St., officers on patrol in West Passyunk arrested Tara Silva, 34, of the 2000 block of Emily Street, Nov. 20 on the 2000 block of South Opal Street, police said. They had been seeking a suspect Tara Silva in the Girard Estate matter through which a female used a large knife to have a worker honor her demand for money. That occurrence came on the heels of a Nov. 18 robbery of West Passyunk’s Grace Grocery Story, 2049 S. 19th St., during which, police said, a woman produced a sizeable blade to obtain $100, cigarette cartons and a cell phone from the owner, whose mouth was duct taped. Authorities have charged Silva, who had not posted her $100,000 bail as of press time and who awaits a Dec. 10 preliminary hearing, with robbery, aggravated assault and related offenses.

Violent vehemence A hostile offender scored a purse after using threatening language last week in

West Passyunk. Responding to a robbery in progress on the 2200 block of South Hemberger Street at 8:21 p.m. Nov. 20, police learned a female had been preparing to enter a residence when an unknown male voice called from behind “Don’t scream; give me your purse or I will blow your ... brains out,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Turning around, the woman observed what she believed was a gun but avoided eye contact per the request of the stranger, who also bellowed “Give your purse. I’m not ... around.” She gave the purse to the figure, who then walked away heading northbound on Hemberger Street toward Jackson Street, Tolliver said. He acquired a leather/denim pocketbook containing change, identification, Visa gift cards and a multi-colored plastic wallet. The uninjured woman described the thief as black, 25 to 30 years old; having a slim build, light complexion and light brown eyes; and wearing dark pants and a black scarf and hoodie. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Crime doesn’t pay A Lower Moyamensing store employee helped authorities to arrest an alleged robber last week. The worker, of Wendy’s Mini Market, 800 Jackson St., told authorities that at 9:15 p.m. Nov. 19, an unknown male entered the establishment and allegedly moved behind her counter to access the cash register, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Having been busy cleaning shelves, she stood up, leading to the stranger’s supposedly pulling a knife. Reportedly pointing the weapon at her, he told her to remain there. Video surveillance caught the man taking $250 from the register before fleeing southbound on Eighth Street, Tolliver said. Detectives showed the surveillance video to police the next day, with an officer recognizing the alleged offender and providing information to law enforcement colleagues. The employee used a photo array to select David Pigg, 24, of the 2100 block of South Ninth Street, whom authorities arrested that day, charging him with possession of an instrument of crime,

A moment of discord A dancer heading to a class in Passyunk Square ended up robbed last week. Walking along the 1300 block of Wharton Street at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 21, the woman heard mumbles from an unknown male, who then stood in front of her and blared “Give me your money, or I’m going to shoot you,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Not seeing a gun, she handed him her bag, valued at $100, which contained a pair of pink ballet shoes, a pink and white wallet, a debit card, identification and medical cards. The offender instructed the complainant to turn around, so she was unable to determine in which direction he fled, Tolliver said. The victim described him as black, in his late 20s or early 30s, and 5-foot9; having a medium build and wearing a black hoody and pants and a scarf around his mouth and nose.

Dial “B” for burglary A Passyunk Square proprietor lost items to a burglar Saturday evening. Having received a message from an alarm company at 10:54 p.m., the owner of JCT Electronics, 1118 S.

Combing the area, he found his desk and cash register drawers opened, with $250 and approximately 20 used cell phones he had purchased or was repairing for patrons, missing. Surveillance captured the incident, Tolliver said, with it showing the offender as a black male, 20 to 25 years old; having a mustache, a medium complexion and a thin build; and wearing a light-colored hoodie with stripes on the shoulders.

Cultivating a worldly approach An East Passyunk Crossing resident traveled to Qatar for an educational summit, and is now sharing the information with his young learners and staff. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

homas Scheid is only in his rst year as CEO at the Independence Charter School. Less than two months after his hiring, the resident of the 1800 block of South Camac Street was on his way to Qatar for the 2013 World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), which was held Oct. 29 to 31. Educators, primarily principals and some assistant principals of public and charter schools, received invitations from the Qatar Foundation, which established WISE in 2009. The focus of the conference was to discuss and debate global education practices and highlight innovation within the field. “I always enjoy traveling and meeting people from different cultures,” Scheid said. “This trip provided myself with an extremely unique experience. I was honored to be representing my new school, ICS. The past work of ICS’s teachers and staff created the opportunity for this to happen.” The invitations weren’t many, and very select representation was present in Qatar, with Scheid in impressive company: “10 USA school leaders, 12 Qatari school leaders (including two Americans working in Qatari schools), one from Brazil representing 23 schools, [and] presenters from Chicago, San Diego and the [United Kingdom],” he said. Scheid was lucky, accepting the invitation extended to the school by virtue of the institution’s long-standing relationship with the Qatar Foundation. The invite fell into his lap shortly after accepting the CEO position, and despite his fears of abandoning his new school, he enthusiastically accepted. The new CEO was prepared. After all, one does not travel to a completely foreign land very much unlike our own without some homework. “We were given a set of readings to prepare us well,” Scheid, who also did a little digging of his own, said. “I also sought out contacts in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., and friends who traveled to the Middle East. I made sure that I learned a few words in Arabic, as well as learning particular cultural norms.” QATAR SHARES ITS only land border with Saudi Arabia and is surrounded by the Persian Gulf on the northeasterly corner of

the Arabian Peninsula. The sovereign nation was a British protectorate until 1971; its population is just shy of 2 million in an area of nearly 4,500-square miles. A Forbes story from 2012 bestows the distinction of Qatar being the world’s richest country per capita. Independence Charter, at the corner of 16th and Lombard streets, is a shining beacon of international and multi-cultural education in Philadelphia. Its curriculum, for learners in kindergarten through eighth grades, cherishes and impresses on students the value of intercultural awareness and sensitivity to cultures different than our own. “My big thing is to be an advocate for students,” the East Passyunk Crossing inhabitant explained. “I believe students can do great things. I’ve always felt that. We have to find ways for all students to be successful.” This is one of the trickiest things for educators in ’13, especially with state testing and state core educational values being well documented, sometimes even roadmapped year to year. Scheid and many of his contemporaries, at WISE and here in Philadelphia, are struggling with how to successfully bring students up to gradelevel skills in essentials like math, reading and science. But Scheid and Independence Charter want more than just competency from their pupils. They’re focused on “educating the whole child,” Scheid said, “not just focusing on reading and math but the whole child.” “There are some things that kids just have to learn,” he said, but one of the most im-

portant freedoms charters have is that they can create their own road map for how to get there. The sanctity of creatively crafting project-based lessons is threatened when the state so clearly puts forward standards of mastering concepts, with regimented progression mapped out. This was one of the primary concerns of WISE attendees as Qatari, American and Brazilian educators asked one another how they teach math, reading, science and humanities. Besides his luggage, Scheid landed back on American soil with some memorable takeaways pertaining to education, as well as making connections with his fellow educational leaders. “I appreciated the emphasis and sense of urgency by everyone involved on how we must all work to improve education. I also appreciated the hospitality of the people — I celebrated a birthday during the conference and was surprised with cake candles and happy birthday wishes,” Scheid said. The international routine is nothing new at Independence, which pushes a culturally diverse curriculum. “We take seventh graders to Latin America, to Ecuador and Nicaragua,” he said of his point of pride, Take Flight. “Typically, it’s a service learning project, but it’s also to see how families function and earn money. Last year they helped a school build a basketball court [in Nicaragua].” Sometimes it’s the first time the school’s students have left the country, perhaps even Philadelphia.

The school also boasts an international drumming troupe. If Scheid and Independence Charter want to position their students to enter ninth grade with a global perspective, they’re doing so because they think it’s a desirable trait for an employable and functional adult in an increasingly global world. “In this digital age, so few people communicate well,” Scheid said. “We want our students to be good communicators with good math and science skills that can think creatively. “You need to be able to work in a multicultural environment — students and businesses are competing in a global market.” Scheid hopes to develop activities and projects around maintaining some of the ties he made while in Qatar, but underneath it all, every ethnicity must learn essential skills. “The big thing I took away, once you get past the language and cultural barriers, is that people have more in common than they have differences,” Scheid said. “We’re always trying to find the best strategies to do the best we can for kids.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

garden project executed just in time for the green party. “We’re trying to show that you can invest in your local public school,” Wilde said. An Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, she was able to coordinate efforts with Penn’s Netter Center. Viscelli, at Swarthmore, was able to mobilize students through their Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility. Both schools will be feeding Jackson with students who will help with the workload so that teachers won’t have to sweep dirt and maintain seedlings. Tom Wyatt, a resident of the 1100 block of Reed Street, chairs the Education Committee of the Passyunk Square Civic Association. His daughter’s almost 2, but the Teach for America alum’s proud of the new roof garden for a pretty clear and simple reason: “Having a good school is fundamental for a good community.” The education committee served as a helpful place for Wilde and Viscelli, providing grant-writing support. The PSCA ran raffles at the event (including a highly-desireable iPad mini) and drummed up awareness and attendance. “The vibrancy of this school is unbelievable,” Pam Zenzola, a resident of the 1300 block of Federal street and the PSCA president, said. “This is really an initiative that, after a pause, is going strong.” THE GARDEN IS an asset to the school and keeps locals, who don’t have children in the school (yet), take a long look at the site as a viable location for their children to learn before sending them to charter or private institutions around the city. It worked for Desiree Peterkin-Bell, a resident of the 700 block of South Broad Street, who toured the school with her husband Rian before deciding that their daughter, Kaelyn, would thrive here. “Last summer it wasn’t green,” the City Representative confessed. “The parents and students are coming together for a complete transformation. We’re teaching kids about sustainability, how to take care of nature, how to build things.” Students and children eagerly dug their hands in planting soil and had their faces painted. After Nutter’s ribbon cut, the crowd was encouraged to migrate downstairs for a performance by the Jackson School’s rock band, HOME. An airing of a mini-documentary preceded a three-song set. Lisa Kaplan, the school’s principal, was thrilled at the turnout and believes giving back to one’s nearby school is good for everyone involved. “If people truly think globally about their public school, they would realize that giv-

I am really lucky to have a wonderful group of committed parents of all cultures who want Jackson to excel.” Over the holiday season, if anybody would like to make a contribution to the Jackson school, Kaplan explained how:

fter the big day today comes Black Friday, then Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. Well, what started last year at a Manhattan Y on the Upper West Side is a full-on force. #GivingTuesday is a nationwide effort to have folks patronize businesses that look to match donations or contribute a percentage of sales to a charitable organization. There are currently 96 registered participants in the Philadelphia area, with businesses, non-profits, performance venues and banks finding a way to give back. One such project is BalletX’s $10,000 goal, some of which will go towards a brand new after-school program at Andrew Jackson School called Dance eXchange. Rebecca Golden, the Director of Development at the Fleisher Art Memorial, 719 Catharine St., is excited about what #GivingTuesdayPHL will do for one of their biggest programs. “This year we’re using it to make a gift to support Community Partnership in the Arts,” she said. “Those are our residencies that we do in Philadelphia Public Schools [Jackson; George W. Nebinger, 601 Caprenter St., and Southwark, 1835 S. Ninth St. schools] and after-school at community centers [Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia, 2416-18 S. Seventh St.; United Communities, 2029 S. Eighth St.; and Capitolo Playground, 900 Federal St.].” Philabundance, 3616 S. Galloway St., has teamed up with Chickie & Pete’s, 1526 Packer Ave., and SB1 Federal Credit Union. “On #GivingTuesday, when you present a coupon, 15% of your food sales at the Chickie’s & Pete’s in South Philly will go to Philabundance,” Lindsay Bues, a spokesperson for the non-profit, said. “For every dollar that’s donated we can provide two meals – so 15% of your food bill can go a long way,” she added. SB1 FCU is participating by donating a $1 (up to $5,000) for every Facebook “like” it gets through Dec. 3. Philabundance aims to raise funds for 20,000 meals Tuesday. Everyone on Tuesday is encouraged to find a way to give, as well as Tweet and Instagram philanthropic efforts with the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #GivingTuesdayPHL.

An East Passyunk Crossing dweller will direct a contemporary take on the Nativity. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

llison Heishman enjoys tackling the output of theatrical heavyweights such as Henrik Ibsen and William Shakespeare yet loves striving to help current writers approach the reverence afforded to the time-tested scribes. Beginning tomorrow and lasting through Dec. 15, the 32-yearold will reflect her fascination with fresh material by directing the world premiere of “No Reservations,” a modernization of the birth of Jesus Christ that parodies individuals’ fixations with celebrities and social media. “This is not a show for the faint of heart,” the resident of the 800 block of Emily Street said of her handling of best-selling humorist Josh Piven’s cultural examination. “It offers a new perspective on a traditional story and holds back no punches.” The East Passyunk Crossing inhabitant learned of the comical piece earlier this year via an e-mail from its creator and loved the script’s ability to appeal to her artistic sensitivities, especially an affinity for daring work. With chances to skewer obsessions with document-

o the manner born

LIFESTYLES ing almost every element of contemporary life, she has engrossed herself in presenting a production abounding in farcical moments and offering underlying lessons. “It could be tough to take something from a work like this, but I’d say it advises us to think twice about how we perceive famous people and ask if we’re crossing any lines in wanting to know so much,” Heishman said of Piven’s brainchild, which sets the Nativity in Pennsylvania’s Bethlehem instead of the Palestinian city of the same name that has gained renown as the birthplace of Jesus Christ. “It addresses other issues like reality television, same-sex marriage and financial worries, so in a sense, I’d say it encourages people not to look for fix-all solutions to things.” In exploring the show’s call for resolution in managing woes, the bubbly figure is also reveling in exploring the opus’ lighter elements, with curiosity over how the present world would react to the arrival of the Son of God guiding the humorous execution. “If we were expecting Jesus now, there would definitely be a baby bump watch, and he’d be on the cover of People,” Heishman said. “There would be no way to escape the interest, and the frenzy would build and build and engulf the news cycle.” Set to helm an offering that includes

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

discussions of the one whom billions proclaim their savior, the director knows not all will find the work endearing. That facet does not disturb her, as she realizes that comedy is in the eye of the beholder. “With something like this, the more controversy, the better,” Heishman said of the Adrienne Theatre-staged composition. “It takes on large topics and can’t afford to clam up in doing so.” HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY to contextualize a mammoth historical event provides the burgeoning director with yet another much-appreciated go at promoting and encouraging budding voices. The New Hampshire native felt an immense attraction to such presences when a student at Maryland’s Washington College, with a professor helping to educate her on Philadelphia’s theatrical identity. “The city in general has such a vibrant creative feel,” Heishman, who also called Third and Bainbridge streets and 17th and McKean streets home before purchasing her East Passyunk Crossing abode nearly four years ago, said. “I’ve loved being a part of its artistic growth and sharing experiences with such an inspirational, creative community.” She developed more knowledge of rising talent as the literary and casting apprentice for The Walnut Street Theatre, where she

will return in March for “Pinkalicious, The Musical,” and has come to fraternize as an actor and director with eclectic performers through entities such as Philadelphia Young Playwrights, Quince Productions and The Wilma Theater. Since 2005, she has advanced the creative mission of Azuka Theatre, for which she serves as the Center City spot’s artistic associate. Lauding stories and characters as that which pulls her to a love to plays, she helps the facility to market works offering a combination of simplicity and complexity. “We deal with stories that are off the beaten path,” Heishman said of her employer’s focus, which consists of giving a forum to “the unheard,” whom she joked as those whom “nobody would sit with at the lunch table.” “We’re exploring the power of characters and getting to the core of what makes them tick.” The passionate purveyor of introspection has helped the 14-year-old location to attract socially conscious patrons by leading the ’11 staging of “the terrible girls,” Independence Foundation Award for Outstanding New Play nominee Jacqueline Goldfinger’s planned trilogy for which she will also direct “Skin and Bone” in March; this year’s “Failure: A Love Story”; and last year’s “Hazard County.” She also called

the shots in April during the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, honoring her love for fostering the past’s contemporary relevance with “A Taste of History.” “It’s great to captivate people with something so moving that they ponder how they relate to what’s come before them,” Heishman, who also championed the marriage of the present and the past during a four-year stint as the National Constitution Center’s theatre programs manager, said. “Anything that helps people to dig deeper is something that will appeal to me.” As her latest adventure will give her a little more than two weeks to analyze a gigantic moment in humanity’s annals, Heishman, also set to direct Azuka’s February “I Love You, I Hate You” readings and Plays and Players’ June presentation of “Cloud Tectonics,” anticipates more occasions to address the delicate balance between public and private matters and what achieves acclaim and what should slip into oblivion. “I love the collaborative nature of my work,” she said. “It’s about connecting, especially with audiences.” SPR

Turkeys

should be used as illustration in Webster’s Dictionary under the word “hypocrite.” Give him an extra large Turkey. ... President Barack Obama didn’t do the work on the incredibly bad Affordable Care Act website, but his team was notified in March that there were big problems ahead. What he should have done right from the beginning is push for expanded Medicare. Forget about tangled websites and private insurance companies whose administrative costs are about five times greater than Medicare. All people love their Medicare. As the Tea Party member’s sign said, “Keep the Government’s hands off my Medicare” (psst, don’t tell them Medicare is a government program). Let the other guys run against Medicare, and then see whose popularity ratings drop. ... George Zimmerman got lucky with the Trayvon Martin verdict, but keeps getting jammed up and keeps changing his facial appearance (I personally prefer his cleanshaven look). He’s up on charges for the second time for assaulting his wife. Is this guy still packing? ... I’m not awarding a Turkey to Frank Rizzo Jr., despite his participation in the scam DROP program (I wouldn’t have enough turkeys to give away if I gave one for every Philly politician who did the same thing). But I am awarding a Turkey for Rizzo’s belief that by switching his registration from Republican to Democrat, he’ll become a viable mayoral candidate. Qualifications aside (and admittedly that’s a big aside), much of Rizzo’s support is from Republicans. Are South Philly Republicans going to change their registrations en masse to vote for Rizzo Jr.? I’m betting a Turkey they don’t. ... Liz Cheney wants to become the next senator from Wyoming so bad that she’s thrown her gay sister Mary and her wife Heather Poe and their two children under the bus. Liz has come out against gay marriage and has split the family apart. Dick Cheney put family ahead of politics when he supported daughter Mary and her marriage, but not Liz. I guess she doesn’t abide by the one bond that unites all of us of different political persuasions and that is la famiglia above all else. ... How can you give a pork sandwich, McRibs, a Turkey award? The sandwich is so bad it can’t even make McDonald’s national menu. ... What can be more fitting than to award a turkey to a company that produces turkeys? Apparently somebody at Butterball forgot to put enough antibiotics into the feed and some of the birds just didn’t plump up enough to be put on the market this year. Take heart, Butterball lovers, there are plenty of hormone-plumped up birds carrying other brand names on the market. An American tradition. Yummy!

Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin) and Marie (Elizabeth Olsen) look to solve a two-decade-old mystery.

Spiked with mediocrity ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ark Chan-wook’s “Oldboy,” a South Korean revenge thriller from 2003, has become sacred material in cult circles, who often laud the film as one of the best Asian flicks of the last few decades. Those same fans likely scoffed at the notion of an inevitable U.S. remake, which had Steven Spielberg and Will Smith attached before passing into the hands of Spike Lee, who’d direct Josh Brolin as the damaged, galvanized lead. The end result? A mixed bag, to say the least, and one whose fan approval seems uncertain. Brolin is Joe Doucett, a boozy, reprehensible ad exec who, in 1993, is mysteriously kidnapped and locked in a small room for no known reason. On a monitor in his motel-style cell, he sees that he’s been framed for the murder of his wife, leaving him a fugitive and his young daughter an orphan. Twenty years pass before Joe is inexplicably released, and his new mission in life, apart from striving to patch things up with his daughter, is to find out who imprisoned him and why. For roughly the first half, Lee, a formidable filmmaker, turns his take on this story into a gleefully unabashed B-movie, from the evocative film grain he employs for the early-nineties segments to the intentional over-emoting of, say, Joe’s wife (Hannah Ware) and Joe himself. It’s all wonderfully effective in its distinctly campy style, and Lee caps it off with glorious, one-take fight scenes after Joe’s release (think “The Warriors” meets “Street Fighter”). But as Joe’s investigation continues, and he meets mysterious friend Marie (Elizabeth Olsen) and mysterious foe

Adrian (Sharlto Copley), Lee’s tone shifts into degradingly earnest territory, as if he couldn’t find a balance between sensationalism and sentiment. Olsen is perfection as the movie’s moral center, but her awards-caliber acting isn’t in step with the rest of the piece. Copley, meanwhile, leans heavily toward the offensive, playing a warped sexual deviant ostracized for his “weirdness.” Lee has the chops to pull off this remake without a hitch, so it’s that much more of a letdown that his attempt is only half-successful.

he turkey has an unusual place in American life. Although the bird is traditionally the main course served at Thanksgiving and Christmas, the term “turkey” also can be a derisive one. Be that as it may, dear reader, you would likely not be surprised to learn that my birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year — talk about your turkey of a columnist! One reader recently complained that I can be found consistently driving in the left lane. I don’t drive, so if you find me driving in any lane, we’re all in trouble. I think (and I mean this for both liberals, conservatives, and those in between, myself included) we have to learn to look at ideas apart from their political label. Ideas ought to be evaluated on their merit and not on the political beliefs of the person or group who offered the idea. It sounds obvious, but it’s not what is happening in America today. But back to turkeys. Here are the first Annual Turkey Awards reserved for those who put the “t” in stupid ... Miami Dolphins lineman Rich Incognito has all the couth of John Belushi in a food fight in “Animal House.” A day seemingly doesn’t go by without a news story where Incognito acted as a jerk and a bully. He’s Donald Trump on steroids. For his efforts, Incognito has been suspended indefinitely from the team for creating a hostile environment in the locker room. Incognito feels picked on and is suing the NFL. Now it turns out he may have harassed a female employee and created a hostile environment in the organization’s offices. In fact, Incognito is a walking hostile environment. ... Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto, took a page from the Marion Barry (former D.C. mayor) playbook and was caught smoking crack and acting irrational on a video that went viral. Ford makes you wish comedian Chris Farley was still alive doing “Saturday Night Live.” Ford was stripped of his political powers by the Toronto City Council, an act he claims smacks of dictatorship. Give a Turkey also to the folks who put Ford in office. ... Some politicians are hypocrites, but few as breathtakingly hypocritical as Florida Rep. Trey Radel. He recently got busted for using cocaine, but he does Ford one better. Radel told his constituents “I believe in forgiveness and redemption,” a nice sentiment. However, Radel also is the congressman who co-sponsored a bill to require mandatory drug testing for anyone applying for food stamps. Radel’s photo

Dolores’ Pizzelles

Grand tasting

elcome to the South Philly Review’s version of “Family Feud,” but instead of two teams, this game is open to all readers. The question, with six answers on the board, is: Name a popular holiday dessert. Dolores Pascale, of the 2500 block of South Warnock Street, earned the ding-ding-ding sound by submitting her recipe for Pizzelles. Unlike the game show where the contestants battle it out for prize money, Dolores is more of a team player by telling her fellow readers to “enjoy.” SPR

Tria Taproom ■ By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

ne of my favorite lunch haunts is Tria Cafe, which is just steps from Rittenhouse Square. I enjoy a freshly-made salad or sandwich along with the best iced tea in town. When I heard a Tria sibling was to open a location on Walnut Street, I wondered whether the menu would be the same or reflect Philadelphia after dark. Tria is known as a wine bar along with a number of beers on tap. It was one of the first casual spots to offer a selection of cheeses, many of them local. So I was surprised to discover the menu at Tria Taproom is different from the one at the Rittenhouse Square location. The space was filled to capacity when Edward and I arrived. There was a small seating area in the front, a long bar and tables in the back of the room. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, and fortunately for us, we were seated at the window overlooking Walnut Street. This is a bare-bones space with dark gray being the color of choice. Small lights dot the room, but the noise from the sound system did little for our conversation. It was noisy, but I am getting used to this distraction. The beers and wines on tap are listed on an electric device with nearly-impossibleto-read print. I sipped a glass of sauvignon blanc from Chile ($8.50) that imparted a bright, spicy flavor while Edward ordered a glass of Grenache-Syrah blend from France ($8.50) that was rich and bright with ripe fruit. The three-part menu lists snacks and salads, wood-fired grilled flatbreads and six Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

cheeses. Building a meal around small plates has always been one of Tria’s hallmarks. Keep in mind the portions are small. We began our meal with po’boy poppers ($9) and grilled octopus ($12). The po’boy is a New Orleans sandwich usually made with fried oysters, shrimp or catfish. This appetizer consisted of three very small fried oysters nestled on a small square of brioche with a dot of remoulade and topped with apple slaw. Although the oysters were crisp and free of grease, the coating lacked flavor. So did the remoulade. It should have packed a bit more spicy punch. Octopus can be tricky, as I’ve been served some chewy versions that lacked a proper sear. Tria’s version was woodgrilled to a mahogany finish, glazed with a cherry lambic reduced sauce that added some sweetness along with an olive or two and a sprig or two of crispy arugula. The texture hit the mark, but I found the dish a little salty. I love Cobb salads and have eaten a number of versions throughout the city. The Taproom Cobb ($11) consisted of one small heart of romaine that spent some time on the grill. It was topped with pieces of thick bacon, which was a nice twist, a tiny scattering of Gorgonzola cheese, bits of hard-cooked egg, a scattering of almonds and a few cherry tomato halves and drizzled with a buttermilk dressing. I found the salad lacked flavor and needed some salt and pepper. One of the reasons I like a Cobb salad is the blue cheese, but I could hardly taste it here. We sampled the Taproom ham flatbread ($13) that arrived with a burned to a dark black crust on the bottom. Our Restaurant Review:

server apologized and brought us a fresh one. The toppings included thinly-sliced ham, mozzarella and provolone, Brussels sprouts, caramelized onions and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. The flatbread begged for more cheese. Brussels sprouts leaves would have been a better choice than whole baby versions, which were on the bitter side, while the onions and vinegar imparted a sweet flavor. I did not care for the combination of flavors and textures, but this is a matter of personal taste. I think the highlight of our meal were the three cheeses ($12) we selected from the list. Bonne Bouche, a Vermont goat cheese; Grayson, a cow’s milk cheese from Virginia; and Cabot Clothbound cheddar, a Vermont cow’s milk cheese kept = Very Good

Chef Brendan Mullan

Bridget Foy’s Owners: John and Bernadette Foy Opened February 1978 200 South St. 215-922-1813 bridgetfoys.com

ering comes around, he knows the Egg Nog Cheesecake is a must-have on the menu, but it’s not the only thing he makes. “I always make enough food for everybody so they don’t fight over it,” the former Dickinson Square West resident said with a laugh. For those who just picked up a fork in hopes of claiming a slice, the popular seasonal item will soon be returning to the dessert menu at Bridget Foy, 200 South St., where Mullan has spent the last 13 years working. He started as a line cook while pursuing a philosophy degree at the University of Delaware, but upon graduation, he decided a career change wasn’t in order. “I just started working at the restaurant and fell in love with it,” he said. The three-floor Queen Village establishment, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in February, offers patrons the chance to see slices of Mullan’s creations via the Viewfinders that

Two local high school football teams expect a well-played Thanksgiving Day duel. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

rank “Roscoe” Natale teaches chemistry classes at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., but the resident of the 1600 block of South Juniper Street hones an appreciation for history, too. Also the head football coach for the Lower Moyamensing location, he hopes his players will enter their secondary education facility’s ath-

letic annals by claiming their Thanksgiving clash against the Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School Saints, 1736 S. 10th St., at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets. “I’m thrilled to be a part of it,” the sideline sage, whose coaching tenure at the June-shuttered Edward Bok Technical High School, formerly 1901 S. Ninth St., never featured a turkey-time tussle, said. “These schools go way back, so it’s great to further that

history. We have some history to write ourselves, too.” Already assured of their program’s first winning campaign since 2009, his 8-3 Rams are looking to snap a seven-game series losing streak, which includes last season’s 21-12 setback. Having scored only eight points in dropping their first two games, the athletes ripped off sevenconsecutive victories and advanced to the Public League AAAA semifinals. With full

allegiance to Natale’s insistence on accountability and perseverance, they see the 10 a.m. duel as their chance not only to infuse new excitement into the matchup but also to snare layered bragging rights. “First off, Southern is due,” senior guard and defensive tackle Mark Webb, another addition from Bok, said of his desire to

SPORTS bring his new turf its 20th triumph in the 79-meeting rivalry. “Also, it’s two South Philly schools, and we know a few of their guys, so it’s definitely personal.” The locked-in figure shared divisional MVP honors with fellow senior, West Philadelphia resident and Bok transport Michael Riley. The latter oversees a runheavy offense as Natale’s quarterback, tossing five touchdowns and rushing for 10 more, including two in his squad’s highest-scoring affair, Oct. 25’s 50-14 annihilation of Fels in super site-situated AAAA first-round action. Also swarming the field as a defensive back, he looks forward to stifling Neumann-Goretti’s offensive schemes, especially occasions that involve senior running back Sihmare Morgan. “I know him from our middle school playing days,” Riley said of the SecondTeam All-Catholic and the Saints’ leading rusher. “We always talked about the possibility of playing against one another when we’d discuss what high schools we’d go to,” Webb added. “In our last game, we’re finally going to get our chance.” Having tested their tenacity against parochial foes in three city title losses, the

upperclassmen know the Saints will possess as much strength as their vanquishers, yet they do not plan to suffer intimidation of any kind, especially if Natale has his druthers. “Each game, I feel we’ve become better and better,” he said. “Still, I don’t believe anybody thinks we’re that good. I’m very cautious about this game and have a ton of respect for Neumann-Goretti. From our perspective, we’ll be well-prepared and looking to produce a great effort. “A win,” Riley said of the day’s most coveted component. “Nothing else will satisfy us.” SOUTHERN’S EAST PASSYUNK Crossingbased opponents find themselves equally eager for a taste of morning glory. The 6-4 performers have sealed their site’s second-consecutive .500-or-better season, becoming the first set of pigskin hounds to do so since the ’01 roster members added to what would become a four-season windfall. If they claim their school’s seventh victory, they will become the first unit to amass that many since the ’06 charges finished 8-5 under coach Steve Smith. “We came into this year with goals such as forging another winning season, making a championship game and putting

“I love taking on the pressure,” the resident of Sixth Street and Oregon Avenue said. “I’m expecting a high quality game because I know what we’re capable of and we know who they are. They have different guys, but I still see it as Neumann versus Southern.” If Lenhart is to toss the two touchdown passes he feels would complement a win, he will probably have Chris Barbour to thank. The senior First Team All-Catholic guard has proven a vital contributor to the Saints’ offensive designs and has stymied schemes as a defensive tackle. “There’s a winning attitude in all of us,” the Southwest Philly denizen said of Szydlik’s decree that they play with pride. “We have a lot of heart; that’s going to come out on Thanksgiving.” Eager to halt Southern’s ground game, which, in addition to Riley, features 1,201yard rusher Bryant Hudgins, a junior AllPublic pick, Barbour also expects to feel proud when he and his mates don throwback jerseys to honor the Saints’ former incarnation as the Pirates. “I want to win,” he said. “Plus, we want to make our alumni proud.” SPR

forth a great effort on Thanksgiving,” current coach CJ Szydlik said while helming a practice at McNichol Field, 26th and Moore streets. “One element remains.” The Northeast inhabitant received Catholic League AA Coach of the Year honors for his successful third campaign, which includes the Saints’ run to Nov. 2’s AA final against West Catholic. Having also orchestrated Thanksgiving Day strategies when coaching against Frankford High School for the now-defunct Northeast Catholic High School, he knows the holiday often inspires players’ best efforts and expects his crew to keep accepting and meeting challenges, especially because of Southern’s new identity. “The guys have believed in our system and have taken responsibility,” Szydlik said. “They never take anything for granted and won’t start to against Southern because of how skilled and well-coached those guys are.” If they want to notch their location’s 57th series success, the Saints will likely need a precise day from junior quarterback and Second Team All-Catholic Ray Lenhart. Extremely familiar with the battle from his spectator days, he considers himself fortunate to have become a participant and will gun for his second holiday win as the signal caller.

Gloria

prayer to St. JoSeph

(over 1900 years old) Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt, before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach w hile he reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me. Amen. With Ecclesiastical Approval, Say for nine days for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail. This prayer was found in the fifthieth year of our Lord Jesus Christ...Make it known everywhere!
