said they would recommend Philly as a place to live (24 percent would not). “Put that all together and the overall mood of the city was more upbeat than any time in the six years that Pew has been polling,� Larry Eichel, the director of Pew Philadelphia’s program and the poll brief’s writer, said. “Our goal in everything we do is to provide reliable non-partisan data and analysis to inform the public debate. That’s what we do. We’re trying to conduct a fair, responsible, scientific survey that finds what’s out there, whatever it is.� Between Jan. 28 and Feb. 19, 1,603 residents responded to the pollsters, with 640 landline users and 963 cell-

phone users. “We’re confident that it is a representative sample of the city,� Eichel said. Of course, folks like VisitPhilly, Philadelphia’s thriving tourism and promotional arm, are thrilled and not shocked by Philadelphians’ enthusiasm for their hometown. “It’s always wonderful for one’s perceptions to be affirmed,� VisitPhilly CEO and president Meryl Levitz said. “It wasn’t a surprise to us in the sense that there are so many indicators that people here and from outside Philly are seeing the city differently and appreciating its values and assets.� She cited a few preceding acco-

lades for the city, like National Geographic Traveler naming Philly “the next great city� in ’08, plus nods from publications like The New York Times, Conde Nast Travel, and Travel + Leisure. Levitz also said, true to Philly form, folks are now starting to realize that Philly’s on the up. “Then when you get a big thing like a papal visit or the DNC, it was very interesting this year to say ‘We can do it, we deserve it, we’ll do a great job.’ Rather than saying, ‘Oh, really?’ which we did in 2000 when we got the RNC,� she said. “People’s skepticism had to be overcome.� Skepticism was certainly a big part ASS >3E >67::G ^OUS ,,

he South Philly Review is conducting its annual spring talent search minus the celebrity judges. Instead, we are reaching out to Philadelphia area school teachers, guidance counselors and other school administrators to tell us about the Rising Stars of the 2014-15 school year. This is a chance for elementary, junior high and high school students with local ties to earn some much deserved recognition after putting in a full year of hard work. Nominees must be from South Philadelphia or attend a school in the 19145, 19146, 19147 or 19148 zip codes. Being a straight-A student or valedictorian are both strong points, but it is not the only criteria being taken into consideration.

Maybe your nominee has made a dramatic academic turnaround since September or overcome a personal hardship. We want to hear about the talented individuals who excel in the classroom as well as numerous extracurricular activities. It can be anything from athletics to school clubs to volunteer work. Last year’s kickoff edition (Aug. 14) recognized 20 promising pupils ranging from elementary age up to high school. Some have moved on to the college ranks while others, we hope, are continuing to excel at their respective schools. This time around, the South Philly Review and the Grays Ferry-based Young Chances Foundation are looking to add 25 newcomers to the list

4Of : 7

(previous winners are not eligible). Entry forms are being sent out to Philadelphia area schools, but they also are available via e-mail, editor@southphillyreview.com, or online starting April 2 at southphillyreview.com. Many students will be worthy of this special recognition, but only 25 will make the final cut. Nomination forms should include as many details as possible, as it could make a major difference in the selection process. What is the reason(s) for nominating this student? What academic achievements has this student achieved

during the current school year? Has this student overcome any personal hardships during the past year? The submission deadline is noon May 11. All of the entries will be reviewed, with the second annual class of Rising Stars appearing in the June 4 edition of the South Philly Review. A special event honoring all of this year’s honorees will follow. What are you waiting for? +(* Contact Editor Bill Gelman at bgelman@southphillyreview.com or ext. 121.

he complainant told authorities she met the accused offenders Saturday while at Cookie’s Tavern, 2654 S. Alder St., with David Nichols supposedly introducing her to Angelica Chevere, Gianna Vance and Khadidja Cherair, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She decided to venture to another watering hole with them, with their departure from that site prompting a stop for food. When they returned to their mode of transportation, a white Dodge Caravan, she relayed her company began to lob insulting names at her. She contends they also told her they were pondering making her exit the vehicle and walk home. When she asked them to let her out, the offenders taunted her by opening then closing the door, preventing her departure. As they were close to her residence, she exited and started walking, yet she stated one of the four figures approached her from behind and began punching her. Another individual reportedly pulled on her pocketbook, with the alleged parties using the vehicle to escape. The complainant recovered her holder from the ground and noticed her iPhone was missing. Calling the police, she described the vehicle, which they shortly thereafter stopped at 23rd Street and Snyder Avenue, Tolliver said. The complainant received transport to the area and identified the detained figures as her attackers. Law enforcement agents also recovered her phone. They charged the 39-year-old Nichols, of West Philly, with criminal conspiracy, simple assault, possession of a controlled substance, recklessly endangering another person, robbery and theft; the 22-yearold Chevere, of the 600 block of Sigel Street, with criminal conspiracy, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, robbery and theft; the 19-year-old Gianna Vance, of the 700 block of Sigel Street, with the same charges as Chevere; and 21-year-old Khadidja Cherair, of the 1800 block of McKean Street, with the same charges, too. Nichols had not posted his $50,000 bail as of press time and awaits an April 14 preliminary hearing.

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

Chevere posted her $25,000 bail and has a hearing scheduled for the same date. Vance posted her $15,000 bail and also has an April 14 hearing set. Cherair had not posted her $25,000 bail and will join the others April 14.

/\ SdWZ ab`ObO US[ The United States Attorney’s Office last week charged four men by indictment with Hobbs Act Robbery and a gun offense for a 2013 heist in Girard Estate. The FBI and others investigated the case of Sharon Hill resident Jibri Cunningham, and Philadelphia inhabitants Tajeldin Cunningham, Samar Taylor and Lavell Carter, citing them as suspects in a Dec. 27, 2013 incident in which they supposedly stole money from the owner of H&Y Royal Jewelers, 2437 S. 23rd St., by producing guns, U.S. Attorney spokeswoman Patty Hartman said. The indictment details that each faces a mandatory term of 84 months in prison to complement their advisory sentencing guideline ranges. They could also incur a fine, receive a supervised release and need to pay a special assessment of $200.

6OWZW\U OcbV]`WbWSa Police are looking for a man who forced a cab driver out of his automobile. At 3:50 a.m. Sunday, the offender approached the motorist on the 2400 block of South Third Street and asked how much a ride to the 2700 block of Tasker Street would cost, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The driver

FEB?9; H;FEHJ inquired on whether the man had called for a cab and then told him he had to sit in the back seat after the figure tried to open the driver’s door. The irate would-be passenger put his foot in the car and stated “No, I have to sit in the front,� producing a black gun. The operator left the ride, with the offender driving away southbound on Third Street and westbound on Shunk Street, Tolliver said. Using GPS, All City Taxi tracked the cab to the 1300 block of South 19th Street, where officers located it unoccupied. The complainant stated his iPhone3 and wallet, which contained various cards, identification and $100, were missing. He described the offender as white, 19 to 24 years old and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8; clean-shaven; wearing a gray hoodie with red around the collar; and armed with a black gun.

Police are looking for a man who pulled off a Whitman home invasion March 23. Upon arriving at the 100-block-of-TreeStreet residence, authorities learned from the occupant that an unknown individual came into his abode, ventured to the second-floor bedroom, broke down the door and pointed a black handgun at him to demand money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The two engaged in a struggle, with both falling down the stairs. Striking the complainant on the head with the weapon, the interloper copped $900 from his pants pocket and fled the area.

Police arrested a South Brook Park/Grays Ferry man for allegedly stealing from a Girard Estate establishment. At 8:52 p.m. March 25, plainclothes police officers were on patrol when they responded to a radio call of a burglary in progress at 22nd and Wolf streets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Upon arrival, they contend they saw a man running from Captivating Styles Hair Salon, 2300 S. 22nd St., with a television wrapped in a salon apron. The law enforcement agents exited their vehicle and ordered the alleged thief to stop after identifying themselves. The reported criminal set the television on the pavement and complied with their commands, Tolliver said. Patting him down, they recovered additional evidence on his person. Checking the business, they observed the side window broken and the front door pried open. The proprietor stated nobody had permission to enter the salon or to remove property. Authorities arrested Brian Brooks, of the 1700 block of South 29th Street, and charged the 39-year-old with criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespassing, theft and possession of an instrument of crime. He awaits an April 9 preliminary hearing.

arcia “Marcie� Martin died unexpectedly in her sleep at the age of 44 on February 4. She was so widely beloved, especially at Russell Bryers Charter School at 19th and Arch streets, that the school shut down for the day eight days later. Loved by students, staff, parents, and of course family and friends, she received particularly heartwarming affection from the school, which honored her passing in an unprecedented closing in her honor. Living at 19th and Dickinson streets in Point Breeze for most of her life, Marcie was a bright light of charity and goodwill to her extended family, even folks who aren’t blood at all but became so through Marcie’s compassion. “She’s just a really good person. She started out as a volunteer [at Russell Bryers] but with her skills, they encouraged

here to get her teaching assistant certification,� cousin Sherrye Richardson, who sent a letter encouraging the South Philly Review to tell her story, said. “She had that kind of patience and kindness, I guess, to reach them. I don’t know that I have it myself – she was like a gift from God.� Richardson, who took custody of her grandson, Xavier, at nine months, remembers an uncanny calmness in her child-

care. “I remember picking up my grandson from her house. He was screaming his head off, and Marcie was just calmly reading a book to the other kids like nothing was going on,� she recalled. “I was just amazed. Marcie was just cool, calm and collected.� Dionne Mobley, a resident of the 1100 block of South 18th Street, has a similar memory. Marcie was instrumental in her daughter’s growth at Russell Bryers. Makaila, 17, became very attached to the late volunteer. “Marcie’s family to me. We became so close,� Mobley, who works for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in a community-based head start program, said. Her husband passed from cancer when Makaila was 17 and Marcie took the bus with her to school. “My husband passed on Marcie’s birthday, and my daughter called her to say ‘Aunt Marcie, I’m sorry he passed on your birthday.’ She still has her moments but she’s had so much progress – Marcie would want you to keep going and keep pushing.� “She always supported me through good and bad times,� Makaila wrote. “If the whole world was against me, I knew I could count on her to be there for me. I’m going to miss her motivational talks, our

laughs and her smile.� Her daughters, Qimera, 16, and Qiana, 22, are left to manage their grief mostly alone. Marcie was a single mother, and friend Jana-Dawn Muhammad has established a GoFundMe (gofundme.com/ lmbbf0) page to help the girls to defray the costs of services. The page has raised $2,925 with 65 backers in one month. Their goal is $15,000. “February 4th is a day I will never forget,� Qimera said. “I tried everything I could to help her, but it wasn’t enough. God had already called for her, my queen.� Makaila’s mom says that she remembers the night that her late husband was rushed to the hospital, and when she followed, not thinking of where Makaila would be, it was Marcie that had her safe and sound. “My husband got sick and I go to the emergency room and called her. She said ‘She’s home with me – she’s had dinner, she’s in pajamas waiting for you.’ Marcie is God’s angel on Earth.� A celebration of her life took place on Feb. 12 at the Gospel Temple Baptist Church, 1327 S. 19th St. She was buried at Fernwood Cemetery and Mausoleum on Baltimore Avenue. +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

>3E >67::G Q]\bW\cSR T`][ ^OUS of the subject questions the poll asked. With questions about views on the mayor and City Council, the selling of Philadelphia Gas Works, decriminalization of marijuana and levels of confidence in the police, results grew grayer. On police confidence, according to the report, “Overall, 55 percent of Philadelphians said they had a “great deal� or “fair amount� of confidence in the police in this regard while 43 percent said they had “just some� or “very little.� It gets worse when one breaks it down by ethnic groups. “Residents were also asked whether ‘almost all police’ or ‘not all police’ are trustworthy to do their jobs properly,� according to the report. “Thirty-three percent chose the first response and 62 percent the second. For whites, the breakdown was 44 to 51 percent; for blacks, 23 to 70 percent; and for Hispanics, 24 to 73 percent.� When asked for comment, Lt. John Stanford from the Philadelphia Police Department responded with: “While I am not sure exactly who in the city completed this poll; however, the Philadelphia Police Department is committed to providing equal service, and fair and impartial police practices. Many of our Citizens have expressed their confidence in our department, but we must continue our mission of Police Community Partnerships.� LEVITZ POINTED TO a few watershed moments over the last 35 years, like when Philadelphia broke the gentlemen’s agreement to build above William Penn’s head. “Things could change and be better

while not handicapping William Penn,� she said. “Every corporate lobby and hotel lobby was renovated when the bar was raised. These sometimes seemingly small challenges to the status quo can be the trigger for wonderful changes to the city and then people say ‘Why haven’t we had this before?’� “I think [the poll] captures the mood that we’re seeing among our membership, which is people are optimistic about the city but definitely have concerns about issues facing Philadelphia and the primary issue that folks talk about as the first concern is schools and education,� Steve Huntington, the chairperson for the Philadelphia Crosstown Coalition, said. Huntington had dealt a lot with the Actual Value Initiative (AVI) and his multiple-civics coalition has been cheering on Mayor Michael A. Nutter’s zoning and property value reassessments for years now. Not surprisingly, the questions about AVI and the Gas Works sale were met with 1766.

Forty-five percent of respondents had “No opinion� on the Gas Works issue and “Sixty percent of the entire sample, including 38 percent of homeowners, said they had not heard about the Actual Value Initiative.� The 10-year tax abatement policy on new construction was evenly split among three responses (fair, reduce it, eliminate it). It’s worth noting that, in Pew’s State of the City report, 3,973 residential building permits were issued in ’14 (compared to 2,815 in ’13 and 2,175 in ’12). And the overall population grew to 1,560,297 from last year’s 1,556,052; however, that population gain is being attributed to births. Crime has gone down, too, with total major crimes and violent crimes at a nine-year low. “In retrospect, we’ll come to regard Nutter’s eight-year term as a successful one, [especially because] he got some things done in terms of the zoning code,� Huntington, referring to the strong approval rating the Pew Poll reported of Nutter’s ing: $7-$15; SmART Readers: Art and Literacy Program 4 p.m. and Monday Poets with Kasey Jueds and Teresa Leo 6:30 p.m. April 6; Preschool Storytime with Miss Leigh 11 a.m., E-Gadget Helpdesk 3 p.m., Computer Class: Organizing Data with Excel 6:30 p.m. and Philip Glass reads from “Words without Music� 7:30 p.m. April 7.

administration, said. “52 percent of Philadelphians approve of his job performance and 37 percent disapprove,� according to the report. In ’13, it was 39 and 52 percent, respectively. Huntington identifies Philadelphia’s turnaround as when former Mayor Ed Rendell was elected into office in 1991. But he also said under-assessed land and property values could be sinking Philly and fast. “A number of people are enjoying the tax abatement and are also enjoying an unfair advantage – we feel that the city is leaving a fair amount of money on the table because it’s not addressing the undersassessment,� Huntington said. Unsurprisingly the Fitler Square resident and executive director of the Center City Residents Association said “we have not been getting complaints about police procedure.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

s a longtime enthusiast for legal matters, especially situations involving the protection of children, Tori Mittelman frequently felt she would become a lawyer. Fate, however, issued a different verdict, leading the recent Point Breeze transplant to choose texts over briefs. Through April 19, the 25-yearold is continuing to be guilty of gravitating toward stages, portraying Maggie Lafferty in “Lafferty’s Wake,� a look at love, life and laughter. “We can gain increased perspective if we step away from our problems and breathe in the joy of being able to share time with one another,� the resident of the 1600 block of Tasker Street said from The Wilma Theater, where she serves as a literary and casting intern, of the main lessons within the script. “There is so

much to value about not always being so serious.� The perceptive performer is promoting that position through the Society Hill Playhouse, which debuted Philadelphia playwright Susan Turdish’s work in 1998. As Maggie, Mittelman plays the daughter of the titular character, Charlie Lafferty, whose loved ones flock to a pub for a wake. Along with having an opportunity to enhance her obsession with Irish culture, which she further honors by applying her violin acumen, she is reveling in establishing camaraderie with her colleagues, noting their brilliance in fostering flexibility, a key component of a production that involves audience participation. “I enjoy the process in putting a work together,� Mittelman said of applying that passion to a play that marks her Philadelphia debut. “With everyone on this show, we develop a new vibe each time we go out there, so it’s a pretty cool thing to be able to make such strides.�

B?<;IJOB;I Having had little familiarity with “Lafferty’s Wake,� she has come to count it as another piece that connects with her drive to experience works that bring forth laughter, tears and change. Well-versed in visiting audition websites and looking to “see what sticks,� she appreciates that Philadelphia has welcomed her into the theatrical fold so quickly, dubbing “Lafferty’s Wake� a “great introduction� to a city that appeals to her old soul. “I’m eager to meet more people because the acting community here has so many smart, giving people,� Mittelman said. “I think theater works so well because it helps to give us ways to make decisions on how to better life. That’s important for audiences because they’re the ones who voluntarily give themselves into new worlds each time.� ALONG WITH HER loyalty to the law, the Florida native nourished a childhood love for storytelling, revering tales for helping to transport her to vast expanses from the comfort of her bedroom. Because of her Navy brat status, she fed that fascination in many locations, with her Washington, D.C.-situated high school tenure proving

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [

particularly beneficial. “That was the spark,� Mittelman, who spent part of her day at an arts-centric secondary institution, said of a not-too-distant era. “I found myself drawn to drama, but no matter what the project was, I saw my involvement as a way to help people.� Crediting her mother, Tanis Mittelman, a nurse whom she dubbed Florence Nightingale for her compassionate personality, for her giving spirit, the thespian, who had already shown her willingness to wax prophetic by penning a starring turn in a 10-minute play about Moses, sought to make more revelations, first at the Shenandoah Conservatory then the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, both providers of prominent experiences. “I’m stubborn with regards to what I like, so I involved myself in many projects at school,� Mittelman said. “I had a great support system, and I got a great idea of what this vocation could give to me and what I could give back.� She secured employment with The National Theatre for Children upon graduating, returning to the Sunshine State for a tour, with the work engendering a hope to teach children through camp participation

this summer. Scoring the Wilma internship, she relocated to Philadelphia, with her Point Breeze stint only three-months old. “There’s an overall European vibe here,� Mittelman said of the city at large. “When I arrived here, I immediately became aware of gritty, experimental shows, and my dark mind said ‘yay.’ I’m fond of the heartbeat that I hear within the theater scene.� With dramatic and comedic sensitivities, she considers herself a diverse practitioner and wishes to add her creative eagerness to playhouses. Through “Lafferty’s Wake,� she is gathering additional means to classify Philadelphia as a haven where overseers and hires care more about the integrity of their products than their commercialization. “That’s inspiring because that’s how we get exposure to durable, powerful works,� Mittelman said. “I know it’s one of my goals to surround myself with people who feel the same, and it’s another quest to meet theatergoers who love challenges.� Lauding the daring feel among local productions, she contends that no matter the subject matter, current creations con-

tain abundant lessons and that a common message is to treasure one’s tenacity and vulnerability. With an introverted nature, Mittelman furthers her mastery of those pointers through her own writing, with a beloved endeavor, “Blood on Blood,� possibly appearing in next year’s FringeArts Festival. A passion for directing will find her presenting “Crave� in this year’s Fringe pageant. “I want to be as involved as I can be early on,� Mittelman, set to play Annelle in next month’s Wilmington-situated “Steel Magnolias� production, said of continuing her first fruitful Philly year. With burgeoning success and an impressive list of residences, Mittelman could consider herself worldly but believes she has much more to learn and anticipates being a voracious student. “I definitely want to evolve,� she said, “and I feel I’m in a great city to do so.� SPR For tickets, call 215-923-0210, or visit societyhillplayhouse.org.

hen I was working for the Defense Department some years ago, Congress was in love with the idea we should compete for business with Veterans Affairs. Congress wondered why we couldn’t purchase items as cheaply as the VA? The catch was that while we at the Defense Department were subject to the Defense Appropriations Act, the VA was not. In other words, while we were subject to the mandates of Congress, the VA was not. Without debating whether the congressional mandates were good or bad (some were necessary, some were not), the fact was that they added to both the time it took to procure an item and the cost of that item itself. We were not competing with the VA on a level playing field. In Philadelphia today, the public school system finds itself in much the same position when asked to compete with charter schools. There is an unequal playing field. Those who read this column know I favor parents having a choice on where to send their children to school. I think parents who have a strong voice in the education of their children are an important element in quality education. I still believe in that principle. But when one stacks the deck in favor of charter schools, one is really not providing parents with a real choice. Choice is an illusion. Unfairness is built into the system in the manner of how charter schools are funded. According to an article in the Daily News, charter schools receive about $8,000 per student and $23,000 for those special-ed students. Keep in mind that this money comes out of the hide of the public school system. This might seem fair at first until one realizes losing a student to a charter school does not reduce the overhead or teaching costs of the public school. The funding system is particularly pernicious coming at a time when schools were hit with the drastic cuts imposed by the dearly departed Corbett Administration. At one time, the public school district was reimbursed part of the lost money in order to provide oversight of the charter schools. That money, too, was lost under Corbett. Yes, new Gov. Tom Wolfe is promising to restore sanity to funding our schools, but it is far from a sure thing that he can persuade the House Republicans in Harrisburg to go along with his proposed budget. Funding is not the only reason the system favors charter schools. Charters have

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [

been freed of many of the mandates under which public schools currently operate, including abiding by the contracts negotiated in good faith by the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. Charters can pick and choose which students they choose to educate unlike the average neighborhood school. Note to the politicians — when you can pick and choose your students and you are a public school, you get Masterman, Central and Girls High, some of the best schools in the entire state — public or non-public. I admit that probably like you, I can name the problems better than provide the solutions. I think we both want the same things — the best education for our students. I think allowing parents a realistic choice in educating their children makes for interested parents and motivated students. I think the School District of Philadelphia has to regain the trust of voters that the tax dollars they get are spent wisely. Critics of the district have to understand the difficult conditions under which our schools operate trying to educate students who carry to school problems that we never dreamed of when we ourselves were students. There is no magic wand to improve test scores, only hard work. Unrealistic expectations lead not to a better educated student, but to cheating or even just teaching to the test. If one wants a dramatized example of these problems, watch the season of HBO’s “The Wire� when it dealt with Baltimore public schools. We must find a way to increase the base of support for education among voters. Too often, I hear folks my age voice the opinion that they should no longer have to pay school taxes because they do not have any kids in school. Our stake in the future does not end when our children graduate from school. I feel as if the only way we are ever going to have widespread support for funding the education of our children is to give non-public school parents a stake in that funding. I admit this is easier said than done. I have not seen any report that shows that charter schools are inherently better than public schools. I suspect this would be the same in non-public schools if they were forced to operate under the same conditions as their counterpart. Arguably the best school in this state is Masterman, a public school in our own city. We have to stop undervaluing the teaching profession, and, yes, one way to do that is to improve the accuracy of teacher accountability. But to realize that goal, we must admit that teaching in some schools is much more difficult than teaching in others and stop trying to expect the same results from both. When all is said and done, however, unless charter schools and public schools operate on a level playing field, school choice is an illusion.SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

espite a cold rain pounding the field and Mother Nature’s refusal to acknowledge the calendar, baseball season got off the ground in Philadelphia Tuesday night. Not on the field, of course, but in the Hall of Fame Club at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, where the Phillies’ new ballpark menu items, apparel and “phan� friendly technology were unveiled. A crowd of season-ticket holders, media and special guests gathered for the party, hosted by the Philly’s radio broadcast team of Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen. Various members of the Phillies’ marketing team helped unveil everything from the return of classics like The Schmitter and Tony Luke’s to the arrival of Wayback Burgers and a slew of outrageously topped hot dogs. “We take great pride in making the fan experience the very best at Citizens Bank Park,� Michael Harris, Phillies director, marketing and special projects, said. “Our new off-the-field lineup will no doubt entice fans of all ages.� In section 134, the famous Phillies Frank will be livened up this year with four varieties being offered that will rotate by homestand. Back again will be the South Philly Dog topped with roasted red peppers, sharp, provolone and broccoli rabe. The cheestesteak dog, whose toppings need no explanation, will be available in section 122, Other creative combos will include: New England Dog: Boston baked beans, bacon crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese on a New England-style bun. Carnegie Dog: Pastrami, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing. Cuban Dog: Roasted pork, pickle chips and Swiss cheese.

Left-field staple Harry the K’s will be adding to their lineup of sandwiches. As the Phillies have always done, they will bring some local flavor and a bold approach. The Northern Liberties Roast Pork stands out thanks to the Yards ale jus that blends in superbly with the herb-salted pork, fontina and hot pepper relish squeezed into the roll. A brisket stack sandwich is composed of slow braised brisket, pancetta, raclette cheese spread and a fried egg. Ballpark overindulgence personified, eating these options anywhere else may bring some serious guilt but not under the summer sun as fans hear the crack of a bat and the roar of the crowd.

The brisket stack is one of the new offerings at Harry the K's. In addition to the vast selection of crafts around the stadium, this year the Phillies took it upon themselves to dabble in the wine trade. The team has partnered with locally based Chaddsford Winery to create their own house blend that will be available in section 142. A blend of Chancellor, Chambourcin, Pinot Noir and Noiret this rich red is punctuated with notes of black cherry and hints of pepper with a cocoa finish. Though the previous sentence doesn’t seem to belong in a column about ballpark food that doesn’t mean the glass wouldn’t be a nice change of pace for regulars at the ballpark. For those who prefer beers at the game but still want to give it a try, the Phillies wine will be available at select stores around the tri-state area. The makers suggest lamb, game and beef dishes, sausage and Mexican foods as great pairings. With only four short days separating the team from opening day against the Boston Red Sox (3:05 p.m. Monday), what fans will see on the field this season is still very much in question. The eating and drinking portion of it, however, will be as great as 2008. Well, almost. +(* Contact columnist Tom Conway at tconway@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 115.

ecause of its diversity, be it the bourbon, corn, malt, rye or wheat type, whiskey has won regard as a distilled delight capable of dispelling doldrums. While its qualities often come through the help of a glass, Phyllis Ochiuto suggests a sweet variation with her Whiskey Cake. The resident of the 600 block of Sigel Street allows leeway for the cake and glaze preparation through her mention of rum and scotch, but why make the creation a misnomer? Let whiskey be the star, and give the fermented grain mash a chance to foment a fantastic experience. +(*

are all the rage now. Thin cut Idaho and sweet potato fries are available. Sea salt fries ($3.75) were crisp, but not hot. I imagined how fine they could have been. Unfortunately, the onion rings ($3.99) were greasy. I don’t drink soda, as it is mostly sugar and high fructose corn syrup. One sip sends me into a coma. But P’unk offers fountain sodas from Maine Root Fair Trade, so I had to give it a shot. The root beer was bold and filled with flavor, but the ginger brew was unlike any ginger ale I have ever tasted. Customers can actually savor the strong ginger used to make this drink. The company uses organic evaporated cane juice in its drinks. P’unk Burger is BYOB. One couple brought two bottles of beer. It was a good idea, as burgers and wine do not marry well. P’unk Burger has seats for toddlers, too. Two little ones were enjoying themselves during our visit. Although burgers are offered everywhere in South Philly, P’unk Burger is unique. I think it is the sole burger-centric restaurant on East Passyunk Avenue. Two-and-a-half tips of the toque to P’unk Burger. +(*Š

lettuce, red onion, small slices of ripe tomatoes, sweet corn and avocado. The mix of ingredients worked well in flavor and texture. Tomatoes are usually dreadful this time of year, but these were red, ripe and juicy. The beef is organic, all-natural fair trade and hormone-free. The cattle are grassfed and humanely treated. The vegetables are not genetically modified. I wanted to build my own burger. It started with a well-formed beef patty ($7.95). Lettuce, tomato and sweet red onion come with each burger. Then I chose my toppings, which run from 50 cents to $1.75. I chose bacon and a beer and mustard cheddar cheese. The patty was medium-rare, quite juicy inside. It could have been seared a bit better, but I did not mind it. The bacon was thick cut, and the cheese caused quite a party in my mouth. >¸c\Y 0c`US` eVWQV ]^S\SR W\ 4SP`cO`g ÂżZZa O d]WR bVOb eOa ^`SdW]caZg Although it was served on a brioche bun, [WaaW\U T`][ T]]RWS `]e PSbbS` Y\]e\ Oa 3Oab >Oaagc\Y /dS\cS it was not too sweet.

stuck in I-hate-the-cold hibernation, the avenue is now home to a hot new burger joint, and it’s a Marlo and Jason Dilks original. The Queen Village couple earned high marks for SliCE — including a 2015 Readers’ Choice Award for best gourmet pizza. “In our head, it’s a different food but not necessarily a different business concept,� Marlo Dilks said. The 24-seat BYO, with up to an additional eight outside during the warmer months, has been quite busy since opening day, which included running out of Little Babies ice cream. Marlo Dilks seem pleased with the early returns. “Can I use a few extra tables? Most definitely, but the rest of the day it would be vacant space,� she said. With the latest venture drawing consistent business, the next logical question is: “Will there be another P’unk Burger location.�

“Somebody asked me that the third day I was open.� Marlo Dilks said. “I am never looking. It depends on my staff.� The more refreshing topic is “how do you make one of those chillingly delicious Homemade Organic Speculoos Milkshakes?� Well, the answer follows. For those hoping for something beefier, venture over to P’unk Burger.

s he waited to play basketball at the Ford PAL Center, 631 Snyder Ave., Saturday, Troy Fields reflected on the game’s significance, noting that without hoops, he would likely be a loner. Because of the sport’s value to the 19-year-old and other community dwellers, local leaders and the District Attorney’s Office Focused Deterrence Program united to present the South Philadelphia Basketball Classic, with two tilts marking the conclusion of the initiative’s inaugural attempt at curtailing the use of bullets through the pursuit of baskets. “In this neighborhood, not much comes easily or gets handed to you,� the resident of Seventh Street and Snyder Avenue said of his often tumultuous turf. “When we were presented with this opportunity, that was my motivation to involve the people around here.� Fields and his friends met with collaborative personnel, including Lauren Baraldi, chief of the gun violence task force, in February, with the latter group looking to use neighborhood affinity for basketball to encourage the suppression of relying on firearms for conflict resolution. Though the Focused Deterrence outreach, which a brochure states as offering an “off-ramp for those who stop shooting and need help with turning their lives around,� mainly assists adults, organizers opened the tournament to participants as young as 17, with learners from South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., among the well-received athletes. “I give so much credit to everyone responsible for putting everything together,� Baraldi said, noting that some players have benefited from her employer’s services, including computer literacy instruction, entrepreneurship development, GED preparation, job readiness training and substance abuse treatment. “They are the overwhelming reason that all of this came together and that it has been so successful.� Focused Deterrence literature adds that overseers “assume that group members are reasonable and rational people who

want something better for themselves and their community.� Enamored with energizing his environs, Tyrique Glasgow fraternized with acquaintances, thrilled to sample their receptivity to regarding the necessary steps in forging a stronger community. “We have a long way to go,� the Grays Ferry inhabitant and 2013 South Philly Review Difference Maker said as Team Bucketz and Team Lavish battled for third-place distinction. “However, we have momentum, and we can’t let anything halt that.� Accustomed to giving the lion’s share of his passion to his Grays Ferry expanse, particularly through the three-year-old Young Chances Foundation, which conducts many celebrations at Vare Recreation Center, 2600 Morris St., Glasgow confided that nobody can afford to be insular when confronting such a costly matter as gun violence. Having begun a part-time position with the District Attorney’s Office in December, he marked the tournament, which commenced March

21, as his first major project and noted that no matter who is helming an initiative, full investment must occur to enrich communities. “The participants fully realize that,� Baraldi said, adding all registrants needed to sign a pledge not to engage in objectionable behavior leading up to the contests. “We’re thrilled that people have rallied behind basketball, and it’s novel for us because it’s our first such attempt to use basketball as a way to advocate for community growth.� SUCH NEIGHBORHOOD IMMERSION has served as a tenet for Bruce Baldwin for more than two decades. The resident of the 400 block of Hoffman Street likewise bore a jubilant disposition as he joined in the camaraderie and contemplated how to keep countering catastrophe. “It’s still a struggle for many people to learn how to get along with one another,� Baldwin, another ’13 South Philly Review Difference Maker mused. “Actually, sometimes I think it’s more problematic
