Mazda, of the 2600 block of South 12th Street, obtained Chanel through Carol Hard, the rescue’s president, in October. In addition to providing her owner with a partner for walks and runs, the playful pooch is preparing for the rewarding role of a certified therapy assistant.

A Navy Yard facility is helping Lower Moyamensing and Pennsport students to expand educational possibilities.

randon Cuthbert nourishes such educational curiosity that even the tedious act of watching paint dry might inspire a project. Since September, the student at Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., has joined 26 other seniors as participants in the Sustainability Workshop.

The assembly at The Navy Yard Quarters A, 1413 Langley Ave., distances pupils from their classrooms’ often chaotic confines and has convinced them and their instructors that its energy efficiency-heavy philosophy could remedy rocky relationships learners frequently have with traditional curricula. “I learn just as much, if not more, here,” See WORKSHOP page 10

Northeast Philly man was arrested for an attempted murder, but now is awaiting murder charges after his alleged victim died from a gunshot wound Sunday. Kyle Carter, 25, of the 600 block of Rosalie Street, allegedly was arguing with Erik Thompson Brock, 26, of the 1600 block of North 59th Street in West Philly, outside Kyle Carter of Club Onyx, 2908 S. Columbus Blvd., when he pulled out a firearm at 2:11 a.m. Feb. 23, according to the Police Public Affairs Unit. He is believed to have shot Brock in the neck before fleeing in a large white or silver SUV. Brock was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where he died at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the Public Affairs Unit. Carter turned himself in at South Detective Division, 2301 S. 24th St., 10 a.m. Friday, police said. He was charged with attempted murder, which had not been upgraded to murder at press time, aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person.

A man was held at gunpoint while walking his dog through Point Breeze Saturday evening. The 57-year-old was strolling south along the 1200 block of South 20th Street with his canine at 6:30 p.m. when a woman asked for a quarter, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He told her he didn’t have any money and kept walking. A few steps later, a man pointed a dark-colored, snub-nosed revolver at him and said, “I bet you do have money.” The victim asked his attacker to put the gun away and he’d give him whatever he wanted, so the offender complied and put the gun in his pocket, Tolliver. The man pulled all of his money — $500 — from his wallet and handed it to the gunman,

who then asked, “Do you have a watch or anything?” The victim handed over his gold and silver Rolex with a blue face, valued at $6,800 and the man fled south on 20th Street. The victim ran half a block to the 17th District to report the incident, Tolliver said. The suspect was described as black with a medium complexion, age 20, 6 foot, thin; having no facial hair; and wearing black pants, a black hoody and white sneakers. The woman is not believed to be involved in the robbery. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

Bandit sought

Surveillance video Police are seeking the man that swiped cash from a Lower Moyamensing corner store last week. The offender entered Los Charales Inc., 2100 S. Ninth St., at 6:55 p.m. and told the 32-year-old cashier, “Give me all the money. I have a gun,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Although he did not show the gun, he kept one of his hands in his pocket. The store employee opened the cash register and the perpetrator reached over and snatched about $1,000 before exiting the shop and heading east on Snyder Avenue, Tolliver said. The employee trailed him, but lost him on the 800 block of Snyder Avenue. Police recovered surveillance video from the store. The offender was described as black with a dark complexion, age 35, 6 foot to 6-foot-1; having a long, black beard; and wearing a black leather jacket, navy blue hoody with white strings and blue jeans. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

Transit thief

Teen troubles

A woman trying to catch the subway was mugged in the process Sunday afternoon. A 50-year-old woman was walking down the stairs to the northbound platform at the Broad Street Line’s Ellsworth-Federal station on the 1100 block of South Broad Street when a group of unknown men pushed her causing her to tumble down the steps at 3 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They grabbed her purse, which contained a cell phone, medical cards, ID, $40 and medications, Tolliver said. The woman was unharmed. Police did not provide a description of the perpetrators at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

An East Passyunk Crossing business owner has had problems with teens taking merchandise without paying. The 58-year-old owner was inside his newsstand, 1601 S. Broad St., at 2:40 p.m. Tuesday when a few teens exited the eastern Tasker Street staircase of the Broad Street Line’s Tasker-Morris station, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One of the teens snatched $5 worth of chips bags and candy bars from the display and walked away. The owner exited the stand and grabbed the teen’s arm, Tolliver said. The teen punched the man in the right side of his face and said, “I’ll be back tomorrow,” as he walked away heading north on Broad and west on Dickinson Street. The owner sustained a cut and swelling to his right cheek, but denied medical treatment, Tolliver said. Tuesday’s incident was the most recent in a series of thefts that have occurred at the stand between 2:15 and 3:30 p.m. by teens, Tolliver said. The thief was described as black with a dark complexion, age 17, 5-foot-4, thin; having dark brown curly hair; and wearing a dark-colored jacket, dark blue jeans and a brown school bag over his shoulder.

s part of Mayor Michael Nutter’s Greenworks initiative to plant 300,000 new trees in Philadelphia by 2015, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation now is leading the TreePhilly campaign. The goal of the initiative, which Wells Fargo has funded with $75,000, is to engage Philadelphia property owners, businesses and neighborhood residents to plant and maintain trees on private and public property, which will improve communities and invest in the city’s future. TreePhilly will team up with neighborhood groups to do street tree surveying in order to determine where new trees can be planted and where dead trees and stumps need to be removed. Trees requested by March 31 may be picked up at South Philly’s Yard Tree Giveaway at Mifflin Square Park, 500 Wolf St., 4 to 7 p.m. April 27 and 1 to 4 p.m. April 28. “Our city will be healthier, safer and more attractive as a result of the trees we plant through this program,” Nutter said.

PUPPIES continued from page 1 there is no one to adopt them, according to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, so Mazda decided to help Hard by forming an event to celebrate the fostering and adoption processes. “Carol had spoken about holding a fundraiser, and I said ‘Let’s stop talking and just do something,’” Mazda said Sunday before taking Chanel, one of 350 dogs that Hard placed last year, for her cherished trek through Franklin D. Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. Hard, Mazda and Guerin leader Debbie Darroyo decided in late January to discuss the advantages to shunning breeders and pet stores and selecting rescues as one’s source for securing a destiny of doggie kisses. As her classes have improved physiques at Guerin since September, Mazda saw the Newbold facility as an ideal location to advocate for the health and prosperity of two- and four-legged specimens. “I had a hard time without Hannah,” she said of the holiday passing of her pal, who provided therapy to numerous patients, including many in Hospice care. “She had a great life, which, sadly, many dogs never will.” Hard is working hard to see that deaths occur after lengthy, loving lives and not following abbreviated, wretched existences. The New Jersey inhabitant deals with rural shelters in Ohio and Kentucky, locations that receive an immense supply of dogs that its employees can rarely fully accommodate. “Every dog and puppy we take had been on death row,” Hard said. A new set of puppies and their mothers for the crusader to aid arrives every other Saturday. Southern New Jersey usually yields the majority of families that decide to foster, yet many Philadelphians mimic Mazda and open their homes to a once-distraught puppy or even multiple young ones. “I knew Chanel would be another great friend,” Mazda said as her ally let her tongue show her appreciation for their union. Because of her demeanor and Mazda’s

desire to recuperate after saying farewell to Hannah, Chanel found a permanent abode quite quickly. Though the pooch and her savior’s tale is free of frustration, other stories feature bewilderment. “Fostering is not black and white,” Hard said. “There are no definite rules, but there is a commitment component.” She revealed many people come to her after having experienced dilemmas in dealings with breeders. She asks fosterers to make a 10- to 14-day obligation that will influence their feelings on adoption. Another one- to two-week period furthers preparation and intensifies the pairing process. She and other volunteers offer medical attention, which includes immunizing, spaying and neutering. Reviews of

applications, inspections of references and home visits aid their decisions on which dogs will join which households. Hard plans to explain the intricacies Saturday and will have pictures to show of the dogs that she will welcome next week. “I’m hoping to educate everyone on the perils and the pleasures involved in pet ownership,” she said. “We have to be excited to help all involved to learn.” WHILE HARD WILL be busying herself with enhancing socialization knowledge, Mazda will spend the three-hour festivity increasing heart rates by giving disco dancing lessons. The fitness advocate, who soon will have a book of her workouts and nutritional philosophies released, will join

other instructors in reminding participants that top-notch health assists one’s enjoyment of bonding with a pet. “That’s the ultimate message I want to convey,” Mazda, who transformed herself from a hefty disciple of inactivity and poor eating into a paragon of motion and proper nutrition, said. “Animals play a huge role in our efforts to stay fit and healthy.” The human-animal bond “is a mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between people and animals that is influenced by behaviors that are essential to the health and well-being of both,” according to an American Veterinary Medical Association April 2010 study. The bond’s aspects include but are not limited to “emotional, psychological and physical interactions of people, animals and the environment.” While reflecting on the depth of the species’ connection, the attendees, who are encouraged to offer a $25 donation to assist Puppies and More’s efforts, will be able to groove to disc jockey Howie T. Horner’s diverse selections and enjoy a variety of foods courtesy of Darroyo’s outreach. Prizes, including gift certificates, a massage and Protein Bakery and Pet Hotel baskets, will further the fun. Mazda and Hard encourage participants to bring blankets and unopened pet supplies. Though no adoptions will transpire during the three-hour mission to better bodies and inspire hearts, the ladies believe the camaraderie among the animal lovers will lead to many walks with, and belly rubs for, forever friends. “So many dogs lose their lives before they’ve really begun,” Hard, who stressed the frequent need for interested parties to foster more than one dog, said. “We place all our dogs and do so with much joy.” The owner of one such panting pal, Mazda anticipates the gathering. “It will be a blast,” she said. “The wholehearted nature of the day will make it so.” SPR For more information, call 215-6851894 or e-mail chardtennis@aol.com.

WORKSHOP continued from page 1 Cuthbert, a resident of 19th and Reed streets, said during Friday’s session. He and the others, including students from South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., are enrolled in conventional facilities but attend sessions at only Quarters A, the yard’s oldest building, under the tutelage of teachers Michael Clapper and Simon Hauger. “I enjoy normal settings but time here gives me more chances to explore my own ideas,” Cuthbert said after tending to his contemporaries’ computer station. His two-story haven whirred with activity, as the teenagers addressed solo and group projects in numerous rooms without having to obsess over a customary site’s infatuation with grades and standardized test results. As long as its originators can promise diligence, any idea can meet approval from West Philly’s Clapper and Narberth’s Hauger, the latter the one whose West Philadelphia High School-based electric vehicle team 10 years ago prompted him to pursue a surrogate location for scholastic growth. “We’re definitely not sitting around singing ‘Kumbaya,’” Hauger said to counter

Sustainability Workshop members are enjoying their status as educational pioneers with electric bicycles among the fruits of their time within The Navy Yard. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

claims that such freethinking breeds few quantifiable results. Because of their space’s relaxed vibe, he and Clapper never dominate discussions nor do they suppress ingenuity, as that quality has helped their charges to use each day to find, among other discoveries, ways to improve building design, construction and renovation. The colleagues contacted the School District of Philadelphia last year to pitch their plan, which included The Navy Yard spot through their interaction with the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster, a tenant and a primary sponsor. The educational power approved and suggested Furness and Southern as schools at which to recruit. Outreach yielded meetings with adventurous students bent on becoming pioneers. “I have true satisfaction,” Cuthbert said of the creative endeavors. One such undertaking, his fashioning an electric go-kart, will send him to April 20’s Green Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, N.Y. It will help him to have more than just essays to show when he enters what he dubbed “the real world” and serves as a metaphor for his and his cohorts’ brains, which likewise seem to zoom ahead as symbols of inventiveness. Meanwhile, four of his peers have crafted the Bright Ideas! Project, a company aiming to provide safe, energy-efficient light bulbs at no cost, which will land them in California March 29 to 31 for the Conrad Foundation Spirit of Innovation Awards. “For critical thinking to occur, one needs critical conditions,” Clapper said, adding most of the youngsters, who rely on shuttle service to be able to banter with him, came with intrinsic motivation to test any method to better society.

All accepted an Oct. 3 challenge from Mayor Michael Nutter, who sought to see if they could reduce their energy use by more than his designated 10 to 30 percent range for City buildings. Their ongoing task has fostered their bond, as have plans to build another facility, which has made Clapper and Hauger serious in desiring to expand the workshop’s vision and to have their territory become a recognized school including underclassmen by next year. “There’s not one size that fits all in education, but there’s definitely room in the landscape in Philadelphia for schools like this,” Hauger said. “We sit outside the mainstream, but that system is not meeting enough needs,” Clapper added. “We want a place where ‘What did I get?’ becomes ‘What did I learn?’” MELONEY SUTHERLAND, A Southern registrant, bounded from room to room to show rapport with her peers and showed off a college acceptance board reflecting good news for 70 percent of the scholars, including her admission into Community College of Philadelphia. “I wanted a shot at alternative education because school was too slow,” the West Philadelphian said. Sutherland learned of the workshop during the summer. Finding its student-driven initiatives and collaborative achievement irresistible, she applied and has been sating her want for challenges since Sept. 6. Most of her fellow groundbreakers have scientific inclinations, but she did not burden herself with doubts about her chances to secure distinction. Enjoying the opportunity to pick projects over the fate of accepting assignments, she has used her freedom to conceive a book.

“It is a novel about an urban girl looking for renewal,” the budding author said. All the enrollees have learning targets and work on personal evaluations. Those goals replace customary syllabi chores and encourage the youths to identify themselves as responsible. Laptop keys produced rapid strikes as the students reflected on their fortune as forerunners in an academic revolution. “By June, I want to feel as if I am on top of the world,” Sutherland said. She is approaching the summit with input from Clapper and Hauger, half of the workshop’s founders, whose demeanor has boosted her and the others’ confidence. “I have more interaction with instructors and feel I am more aware of the learning process,” Cuthbert said. The aspiring computer software engineer wishes to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He will not need to fear the school’s feeling he has avoided traditional subjects, as the students are tackling mathematics, science, English and some sociology in executing their projects. “We know we are not a replacement for traditional learning,” Hauger said. “We want to complement it.” “Transcripts will have grades, but their minds will give them paths to deeper understanding,” Clapper added. To Sutherland, Clapper’s point will resonate as her final year’s last days wither. “An A or a B does not show what I have learned,” she said. “There is so much more to success than letters.” SPR For more information, visit workshopschool.org.

A teacher from Girard Estate happened upon a vehicle that inspired a children’s book and helped him to promote education awareness. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

ouis “Luigi” Borda came from Italy in 1969. His 1967 Fiat 500, which he bought about five years ago, made that trip at about the same time. Borda came with his mother, Angelina, and older siblings Anthony and Adeline from Calabria at age 3 to reunite with his father, Fioramanti, who had come to South Philly earlier to work as a laborer with his brother. “My father had come in September of ’68. We came June 4, 1969. We were in, the five of us, two adults and three children, we were with my cousins who took us in, in a two-bedroom house on [the 1000 block of South] Fernon Street,” Borda, 45, said. “So four adults and seven children, half spoke English and half spoke Italian.” Borda turned his immigration experience into the subject of a children’s book, “Andiamo… Let’s Go! Luigi Discovers Philadelphia.” The book features the young boy named Luigi coming to Philadelphia and traveling around in his bright red Fiat while he discovers what the city has to offer. “My family is in it. [My daughters Angelica, 15, and Veronica, 12, and wife, Tracy] are characters in the book,” Borda, of the 2300 block of South 21st Street, said. Self-published in 2009, the book is Borda’s first in what he hopes will become a series, where Luigi will eventually travel to all 50 states and abroad. “Most people agree that most Americans don’t know enough about geography. I

Lifestyles teach world history and I teach about everywhere and many kids don’t know about Philadelphia, Pa. and the United States,” Borda, who currently teaches seventhgrade social studies and geography at Center City’s J.R. Masterman, said. “I thought this might be a fun way to get to know your immediate surroundings and eventually Luigi is going to travel the world.” The author thinks the 20-page illustrated book helps children understand geography, and he has been using the new-found celebrity that the book has given to Luigi as a platform to advance his message about the current state of public education. “I realized I could use it as a real way of showing people the impact of education and get people involved,” he said. “I found people are not informed or that they really don’t care, both of which really worried me. So I decided to combine the three most important things to me: Parenting, teaching and running, and put them all together.” The resulting project was a 100-mile run from Philadelphia to Harrisburg over a three-day weekend in June to advocate for more funding for education. “I’m planning it again this year. I want 100 teachers to run across the state with me,” Borda said. “I usually do it the day after school ends. Because school has end-

ed but I want people to still be thinking about it.” ONCE THE FAMILY settled into their South Philly digs, Borda attended St. Nicholas of Tolentine, 913 Pierce St., Masterman and then Central High School. He went on to get a bachelor’s degree from West Chester University in education and two master’s degrees — one in education from Temple University and one in administration at Gwynedd-Mercy College. “I started teaching the day I was out of college at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, [2329 S. Third St.,] right here in South Philly,” Borda said. “I’ve been a teacher for 20 years. “I think the main thing about teaching and parenting is that it is incredibly important to set a good example, to lead by example. Teaching children, you can talk all you want, but people follow examples. That was the idea with the running, too.” Running, which is now one of Borda’s greatest passions, is an activity he picked up only five years ago. After reading a narrative that showcases the athletic skills of the Tarahumara Native Americans of Mexico, Borda was convinced that everyone should be running on a regular basis. “The book ‘Born to Run,’ it’s by Christopher McDougall, he grew up at 16th and

Oregon. It really changed people’s thinking on running. I read the book and I was convinced,” Borda said. “There’s not a day that goes by now that someone doesn’t say that either I made them start running or getting involved [in education]. [The 100-mile run] was really rewarding in that respect.” Borda’s message to citizens is to learn about the state of education and then get involved. There are many ways to start to create change, and Borda wants to help people get there. “My ultimate goal now that I have this sort of notoriety of the car, I want people more involved and informed in their local education. The only way [to achieve that] is if everyone gets involved,” he said. “First, [people can get involved by] volunteering and learning more about the election process — get informed about it — … then literally running for public office.” Borda entered last year’s City Council at-large race, but realized before the election took place it wasn’t the right time for him to be running and withdrew his candidacy. For now he is focused on helping others get into seats in local office in order to effect change. “We have to get more people involved and informed, Borda said. “I want to use the car literally as a vehicle to help people

get more informed and involved.” As far as Luigi’s storybook life, Borda is in talks with a publisher to pick up the series and he’s already developed the next installment, where Luigi learns about Pennsylvania. His idea for when Luigi begins to visit other states is to hand over a template to residents who will then write about their home state. “My girls and I love to travel. We drove across country in a motor home two years ago. And coming from Italy, I’m always intrigued about places around the world and travel,” he said. Borda is very excited for the warmer months when he gets to take Luigi out to more events and see people’s reaction to the little Fiat that took a parallel journey from Italy to Philadelphia more than 40 years ago. “I’ll go to school and read to the first grade and … the kids [are so excited] when they see the car. They just think it’s a book and then its like the car literally jumped out of the book,” he said. “When I got the car, I found that this car — literally people age 2 to 92, their face would light up when they saw the car.” SPR

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

It’s sex, stupid! (A time capsule was found in the year 2112 that yielded, among other things, barely legible notes from an anonymous source on the 2012 presidential election) t was odd the way it happened. All of the experts had predicted the presidential campaign would be about the sagging economy and high unemployment. One friend had a master’s degree in civil engineering, so I didn’t feel so bad being jobless with only a measly bachelor’s degree in liberal arts. We both had student loans we carried around our necks like an albatross (come to think of it, I had never seen an albatross, but whatever it looked like I knew I didn’t want to carry one around my neck). “The president was at his wits end. He had resigned himself to being a one-term president and started auditioning as an R&B singer on the campaign trail. The Republicans were poised to nominate Mitt Romney whose credentials included being Massachusetts governor and head of Bain Capital. You could imagine seeing his features chiseled on Mount Rushmore. He was smart too, except maybe the time he tied the family dog to the roof of his car. But suddenly the campaign changed profoundly and would never be the same. “A former Pennsylvania senator — Rick Santorum — also was running, but not taken too seriously. He was bankrolled by a wealthy guy named Foster Friess, whose claim to fame was his contraception idea, something about having a woman place an aspirin between her knees. “Rick began talking theology and his campaign caught fire. He believed in the need for sexual restraint, and it seemed as if every Republican but Newt Gingrich took a liking to the idea. The last time Santorum ran for public office, he had lost his senate seat by 18 points (perhaps, he didn’t talk enough about sex), but he talked about that campaign as if he had won. Santorum didn’t seem very interested in economics, but he certainly knew his Baltimore catechism, and that turned out to be the turning point. “Rick began preaching about the evils of abortion, but that turned out to be only the beginning. Mitt had already flipped on abortion, so he figured no problem. What threw Romney for a loop was when Santorum also came out against birth control, prenatal care and working wives. There were rumors Romney said privately that

“I

Santorum was “more Catholic than the Pope.” Romney denies ever saying any such thing. I think Mitt being a Mormon and not wanting to get into any religious wrangle with Santorum (Catholics far outnumber Mormons as everyone east of Salt Lake City knows) would not have been stupid enough to make such a remark. “Rick wasn’t satisfied with having stirred the pot. He felt it his obligation to reveal Satan’s plan to overthrow the United States. Please don’t get confused by this remark the way Romney did. Mitt thought Rick was talking about ‘the Great Satan’ that overthrew Saddam Hussein. Believe it or not, I think it was Rick Perry who called Romney from the governor’s mansion in Austin to tell him “the Great Satan” was actually us, at least in the eyes of our enemies (and some of our friends) in the Middle East. This left Romney totally confused, which is the way Santorum wanted it, and the reason why Perry had to drop out. “Santorum had changed the race. There were more political pundits talking about the meaning of Santorum’s sweater vest than the lack of growth in the Gross Domestic Product. “In Virginia, Republicans came up with an idea to force women to have an ultrasound, even a transvaginal ultrasound, before they could have an abortion (by the way abortions are legal at the present time). Even Republican Gov. Robert McConnell thought that went too far. The governor’s wife had told him if his legislature was going to force her to have a wand shoved up a woman’s wahoo before she could have a legal abortion then she was going to propose men have to visit a proctologist every time they wanted their partners to have anal sex. A female legislator proposed a bill that would limit men from getting their medical insurance to pay for Viagra unless it led directly to procreation. “Meanwhile the president just stayed on the sidelines as Republicans shouted sex stuff at one another. Once in a while he appeared in public to mention a favorable economic indicator. Santorum defended the notion that we might need an exorcism rather than an election to get Obama out of The White House. Romney tried to respond during one of the debates, but Rick flashed a crucifix in his face like the way Van Helsing did to Dracula ...” (At this point, the rest of the notes were missing. Note: The president won re-election carrying 45 states in 2012, in spite of the fact the economy was still in the toilet. Romney retired from politics and purchased the Utah Jazz. Santorum became a successful lecturer at Communion breakfasts. The Republican Party removed all sexual issues from its political platform and won The White House in ’16.)

Bringing a classic to life

The Lorax (voice of Danny DeVito), right, is the latest animated Dr. Seuss story to hit the big screen.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

“D

r. Seuss’ The Lorax” is some kind of dream, a beautifully animated feature that incorporates terrific musical numbers, affecting environmentalist pathos, unabashed political statements and classic cross-generational storytelling. It’s safe to say no Seuss tale has been so well adapted, for this film finally finds the ideal on-screen groove for Theodor Geisel’s humanist whimsy. At once joyfully bright and boldly dark, the movie appeals to all ages while condemning the greedy pilots of consumerist culture, making it an accessible entertainment that’s nonetheless unafraid of viewer alienation. It seems preposterous to call the eco themes of Seuss’ 1971 book “political,” since the prescient author covers the reality of planetary destruction, but such is the world we live in, and you can bet articles have already surfaced deeming the movie “unfair” and “leftist.” But while elements are naturally exaggerated for the sake of vibrant readability, it’s alarming how un-exaggerated most of the film’s indictments feel. You’d have to be blind to not notice that as this story ages, it only grows more resonant, its calls left largely unheeded amid mad growth of power and resource depletion. As in the book, there are three main characters at play — a modern-day boy (voiced by Zac Efron), a washed-up old industrialist (voiced by Ed Helms) and the titular nature guardian (voiced by Danny DeVito). Inspired by a pretty girl (voiced by Taylor Swift) to seek out real trees (which, in his walled-in town, have all been replaced by holiday-style inflatables), the boy presses the industrialist for answers, and gets a story about a Seussian

Snuggie business that, much to the Lorax’s dismay, led to the toppling of every last cottony Truffula plant. The action certainly has its dips, but it’s rare to see a short story fleshed out with so few bumps and seams showing. And if ever your interest wanes, the film, from the makers of “Despicable Me,” is keen to throw transgressive curveballs. Best of all, though, is a virtue that sounds trite but is quite true: Watching this movie with kids, you can sense the (compact fluorescent) light bulb going off.

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax PG Three-and-a-half reels out of four Opens tomorrow in area theaters

Recommended Rental Immortals R Available Tuesday A gorgeous film unfairly bashed by most critics, Tarsem Singh’s swords-andsandals actioner “Immortals” is a feast of style and inventiveness, its sense of action and design blowing that of the inferior “300” straight out of the water. Following Theseus (Henry Cavill) as he strives to defeat the evil Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), the movie impresses at every turn with its uncompromising visuals.

Philly

n pasta dishes, the noodles are hardly the most important part. Instead, a well-prepared gravy is the key, and Theresa Strati’s Tasty Marinara Sauce is just that. The resident of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street incorporates garlic, anchovies and San Marzano tomatoes into this flavorful topping that brings the dish to life. Just don’t try to keep her delicious concoction all to yourself — this recipe is designed to feed four. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.

Theresa’s Tasty Marinara Sauce INGREDIENTS:

the garlic and sauté for a few minutes over medium heat. Add the tomatoes with their juice. Use a wooden spoon to break down the tomatoes. Add the pepper and parsley. Taste the mixture and add salt or adjust other seasonings, if needed. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, until the purée has reduced and the tomatoes are thick and chunky. Remove the skillet from the heat, cover and put aside. Add the cooked d pasta to the marinara. Place ace it over low heatt DIRECTIONS: Add the olive oil to a large skil- and toss until let. Then add the anchovies. When the pasta is thorthe ﬁsh begins to dissolve, add oughly coated. 1 pound of any long pasta, cooked according to package directions 1 large can of whole San Marzano tomatoes with purée 3 large garlic cloves, sliced 3 large anchovy ﬁlets, packed in oil 3 tablespoons of olive oil 1 tablespoons of dried parsley Crushed red and black pepper, to taste Salt, to taste

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

= Average

= Very Good

= Exceptional

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

t is a rare occasion, indeed, when I pen a belated valentine to a masterful chef. Chef Joseph Scarpone is the subject of my culinary heart. He opened Ulivo, a Queen Village BYOB trattoria in November. Cousin Carl and I astounded as this talented man turned out scrumptious dish-after-dish. "Keep it fresh and keep it simple" is his mantra. He succeeded in countless ways. Cousin Carl and I settled in and marveled at the short, but expertly planned menu. Our delightful server Simone opened our sparkling wine, bought us flutes and placed the bottle in an ice bucket. Warm, slightly salty homemade focaccia and olive oil kept us happy as we decided on dinner. Chargrilled, tender octopus ($14) was bursting with a smoky flavor, enhanced by the right touch of citrus, which played off marvelously against the rustic flavor of julienned sopressata and cubes of potato, drizzled with a garlic/basil vinaigrette. The octopus was braised before it met the grill. Batons of crisp fried polenta ($9) were another hit. Creamy on the inside, the coating imparted a lusty, herb-like fragrance. Since Scarpone’s restaurant is authentically Italian, pasta may be enjoyed as a second course. I found it difficult to find the words to describe two of the finest dishes I have sampled in what appears to be eons. The gnocchi ($9.50 for a half order) almost floated off the plate.

pares these little pillows with ricotta, adds some fresh spinach for color, flavor and texture and bathes the pasta in truffle butter. I have no more to say. When was the last time you saw spaghetti carbonara ($9 for a half portion) on a menu? You can imagine my face when a runner placed the pasta on the table. A proper serving of spaghetti with bits of crisp pancetta was topped with an egg yolk. The first bite was a tasty thrill harkening back to the first time I tasted a dish. At first sight and taste, Scarpone’s dishes appear simple. They are. But the flavors they impart are subtle and complex. This was clearly evident in the roast chicken ($19) and seared salmon ($21). The chicken was brined and superbly roasted. Subtle hints of Meyer lemon added flavor along with the rustic heady hen of the woods mushrooms and slightly salty olives that were scattered on the plate. The chicken was served on a bed of saffronlaced fregola — the tiny pasta from Sardinia which made for a fine marriage. Salmon is boring, yes? Scarpone’s version was anything but. He gets the right sear and serves it with a salsa verde made from Brussels spouts prepared with herbs and a carrot vinaigrette. Faro can be tricky. It is so often undercooked. Scarpone hit the mark again. Desserts shined as well. Carl and I shared a slice of rosemary olive oil cake ($7) that reminded me of the cake Marcella Hazan once served during a Book and the Cook dinner.

I called Scarpone at 9:30 a.m. on a recent weekend. He was eating a bowl of oatmeal in his restaurant office. “I wanted the restaurant to be neighborhood-centered,” he said. “I am 40 years old and my cooking continues to come with age. This is something I need to do.” We chatted about what annoys me most in restaurant dining. We agreed we do not like dark places, over-the-top chatty staff, being attacked with the pepper mill and when a server constantly interrupts tale conversation with the dreaded “how’s” the so and so, is everything all right, especially when I have food in my mouth. Suffice to say, Scarpone’s delightful staff was not guilty on these accounts.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I march 1, 2012

awaii, the Aloha State and birthplace of President Barack Obama, is the theme for this year’s Philadelphia International Flower Show taking place March 4 to 11. The Pennsylvania Convention Center will be transformed into a tropical paradise, which is no easy feat for those of us who have little or no experience in forcing flowers to bloom indoors. Orchids will be highlighted, especially since these gorgeous flowers of diverse sizes and colors symbolize our 50th state. They’re always popular during the Flower Show; last year’s exhibits filled me with wonder. I suspect birds of paradise will be prominently displayed as well. I have never been to Hawaii, but I have attended many a luau in California and Florida. Glorious outdoor weather formed the backdrop for a scrumptious feast made fit for Queen Liliuokalani (1838-1917), Hawaii’s last monarch who reigned for one year and 354 days. Native to South and Central America, the pineapple is a New World food. The first pineapples arrived in Hawaii during the 1700s and have long been considered a symbol of welcome and hospitality throughout the world. Its sweet and tart flavor became popular with Europeans and Asians. We can buy fresh pineapples year-round. Dole cans pineapple in its own juice with

no sugar added and also offers this naturally sweet fruit in jars and small cups packed to go, perfect for the lunchbox or an after-school snack. Let’s celebrate Hawaii with these tasty pineapple recipes.

Pressing the competition

After convincingly defending its league title, a West Passyunk-based basketball program is eyeing its first-ever championship trifecta. By Bill Gelman Review Editor

hen the Prep Charter girls’ basketball team is on its game, the opposition’s empty light often illuminates long before the game’s final stretch. The Lady Huskies have established a knack for setting a defensive trap that even illusionist Criss Angel might struggle figuring out an escape route to. Head coach Paul Rieser, who is in his seventh season at 1928 Point Breeze Ave., has developed such a potent formula for success that even the once-dominant Central Lancers now find themselves bowing to the current queens of the Public League court. Saturday’s title tilt at Center City’s Community College of Philadelphia played out like a one-sided story to the tune of a 70-34 victory for the West Passyunk-based program. The now two-time defending champs — who defeated Central for the 2011 crown — held the Olneybased squad to a 28.9 percent shooting from the field while forcing 33 turnovers. Prep Charter also tallied 16 first-quarter points — the same amount that Central accumulated after 16 minutes of play. “I think it was just a matter of time before we broke through that wall,” Rieser said of the championship streak. At halftime, with his team leading 29-16, the coach instructed his group to turn up the defensive pressure, and they responded in the form of a 20-2 run. Even as he shouted plays and strategies from the sidelines, the vet-

eran coach wasn’t the one defending, launching three-pointers or battling for rebounds Saturday. The players — led by Rutgers University signee Kahleah Copper, who finished with a double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds — are the ones who made the preseason goal a reality. “That’s where the credit lies,” he said. AS NICE OF a ring Public League champions has to it, these 22-3 Lady Huskies are eager to add two more golden prizes to this year’s awardwinning story in the form of City and State titles — each of which would be a program-first. The PIAA District 12 Class AAA City Title game is taking place 6 p.m. tomorrow against Neumann-Goretti at South Philadelphia High, 2101 S. Broad St. Rieser is looking forward to the long awaited neighborhood matchup against the East Passyunk Crossing squad based at 1736 S. 10th St. “It’s awesome that the two teams are playing each other in South Philly,” he said. The opening round of states follows a week later with the opponent and site to be determined. Last year, the Lady Huskies made program history by advancing to the state semifinals, but eventual champs Archbishop Wood spoiled the plans. Rieser has a solid returning core ready to finish fulfilling those loftier goals. “If we stay out of foul trouble, I think we can compete with anyone in the state,” the coach said. Having offensive balance also helps. Sophomore Hannah Timmons

contributed 12 points, rookie Ciani Cryor added nine points and six assists while second-year players Ciera Nimmons and Indiah Cauley tossed in eight points apiece. Winning championships is only half the reward for Rieser, who has seen 14 of his grads continue their respective careers on the next level. Copper will make it 15, and to date, is the biggest name on this prestigious list. No matter how the remainder of the season unfolds, the Public League Championship Game MVP knows she has a ticket booked for Chicago where the March 28 McDonald’s AllAmerican (another Prep Charter first) Game is taking place. Then it’s off to Denver to participate in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association All-American Game three days later. Even with all of the national accolades, Copper has not lost focus. “On Saturday, none of that mattered to her,” Rieser said. “She did everything in her power to [help us] win.” SPR Contact Editor Bill Gelman at bgelman@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 121. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/ features.

Davis, of Fourth Street and Washington Avenue, displayed his athleticism by skying for rebounds and amassing six points. The Prep nearly ended the Saints’ Catholic League run in a thrilling contest last February and seemed poised to make defeat for its counterparts a certainty. Its defenders stood tall against Stewart, the only other Saint to score in the quarter, and made enough outside shots and inside tries to craft a 37-34 bulge after three sessions. Neumann-Goretti’s fan and student sections yearned not to witness infamous history and bolstered their support when failed Prep three-pointers sent their boys on fast

ture fixture for Rider University, sought to prove his perimeter prowess. Having never needed to be a massive scoring option because strong supporting casts have always surrounded him, the Upper Darby dweller nevertheless has prided himself on his offensive maturation. His two three-pointers and another triple from Newton gave the Saints their only second quarter tallies. Four missed three throws from senior guard La’Quan Coaxum and junior forward John Davis, another FirstTeam member, aided their foes’ comeback, as did six turnovers. The Saints escaped with a 26-22 advantage, gaining plaudits from Arrigale for holding Prep star guard Stephen Vasturia, the league’s MVP, scoreless. Davis, however, also failed to have his name join the scoring sheet, so the halftime reflections included calls for him and his mates to move the ball more for inside looks. “I need 16 more hard minutes out of

a’Quan Newton will likely never suffer from a lack of confidence if one uses his Monday evening heroics at the famed Palestra as proof of his poise. The sophomore guard concluded a breathtaking Catholic League Final by hitting two last-second free throws to secure a 59-57 victory for the Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School Saints, 1736 S. 10th St. The overtime classic garnered the East Passyunk Crossing representatives their fourth consecutive league crown and 70th-straight conquest of parochial adversaries. “I’m a big-time player, and big-time players make big-time plays,” Newton, a FirstTeam All-Catholic honoree, said of his drive to the bucket that presented him with the opportunity to play his squad’s savior. The Southwest Philadelphian led all scorers with 21 points, with his biggest scratches deflating his North Philadelphia-based opponents’ attempt to end his school’s impressive streaks. The charity stripe successes, though individual accomplishments, also solidified his status as a key figure among a resolute set of teenagers. “This is a composed group of confident kids,” coach Carl Arrigale, a resident of the 2900 block of South 15th Street, who hoisted his eighth championship plaque, said. “Ja’Quan came up huge and is going to be a big part of our foundation moving forward.” Their team will look to build on its 23-3 mark tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. when facing Boys’ Latin for the PIAA District 12 Class AAA title at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. It also will see if it will again need to test its ability to make a game’s final stages dramatic gut checks. If the Saints had felt any pressure before tipoff, they hid their feelings well, as they joked and viewed the girls’ title clash. Like a general inspecting a battle plan, Arrigale consulted notes before addressing his athletes. “Do not approach this game with a sense of entitlement,” he said, well aware of the hype that had developed based on their previous wins, including Feb. 10’s 66-53 road thumping of Speedy Morris’ ballers. “Impose your will immediately.” Great listeners, his charges charged to an 11-0 lead, with Newton registering five of his nine first-quarter scores in the first three minutes. Their shooting cooled and the Prep’s heated up, as offensive rebounds led to baskets that diminished the deficit. After the first frame, the Saints held a 17-12 edge, and senior forward Derrick Stewart, another First-Team pick and a fu-

breaks. Frenetic action produced four ties, with Coaxum, the lone Saints’ substitute to appear, depositing six of his band’s 14 final-frame points. Newton earned a late chance to pressure the Prep yet made only one of two free throws to give his team a 48-47 cushion with 35 ticks left. Saints’ supporters had to have heightened heart rates, as a foul sent the Prep’s Gene Williams to the line for two shots with only 17 seconds to go. He nailed the first but bricked the other and retreated on defense to try to keep the patrons present for an overtime decider. Newton scurried to the goal, but his 10-foot right-side jumper failed to find the net and guaranteed another four minutes of action. The sophomore registered his team’s first score to level the game at 50-50 and converted an interior shot to restore the lead. A Davis three-point play made the lead five, but the Prep responded with a deuce. A steal sent Williams in for what looked like an easy lay-up, but Newton, showing amazing hops that had his team’s fans in awe, swatted the shot. The Saints sprang for a fast break, with senior guard Billy Shank, a Second-Team selection, scoring to up the edge to five again. Five straight Prep points again knotted the score and set up Newton for his momentous visit to the line. “Coach Carl didn’t say I had to try to take over the game, but I knew it was me who could make a difference,” he said. His first nearly fell out but dropped to much applause. His second was a rainbow that left the Prep 1.3 seconds to muster something. When an attempt failed, jubilation sent the Saints on a joyous reflection of their historic run. Only Roman Catholic, with titles from 1989 through 1994, have proven more potent. Chants and cheers crafted smiles that grew brighter as the ever-popular net cutting ceremony gave each Saint another reminder of his contributions. “It’s always good to be versatile,” Stewart, who finished with 13 points, said of stepping beyond the arc. “This year I grew as a player and let that growth continue tonight.” He and Shank collected the final snips and joined their mates in running with the plaque to the student section. “I really wanted this one for Billy and Derrick,” Arrigale said of the senior stars. “We didn’t get rattled and that’s a testament to their self-belief. This feels really rewarding.” SPR
