he Tolentine Community Center and Development Corporation, 1025 Mifflin St., is just about 25 years old and has enjoyed a convenient lease with the City of Philadelphia since inception. Overseers pay a nominal fee, which seems to be about $1 per year, to use the public space on which it sits in East Passyunk Crossing. Less than two blocks away, the East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association met Tuesday night at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., to discuss the renewal of the lease and

the mission of Tolentine. East Passyunk Crossing is a neighborhood that technically stretches from Broad to Sixth Street and from Tasker Street to Snyder Avenue. The meeting began with the nine-yearold Recognized Civic Organization co-chair, Joseph F. Marino, making a claim that many other residents would echo that night. “We, unfortunately, are one of the few neighborhoods in South Philadelphia that is minus a park or rec center. The only public space we have is the land on which the Tolentine Community Center rests,� the resident of the 1900 block of South Jessup Street said.

Marino reminded the crowd to remain civil throughout the meeting and gave the floor to Tolentine’s executive director, Dr. Anthony Mattei, who assumed leadership in August 2013. “First of all, you stated what the meeting was about, but let me state why I was invited,� Mattei began. “I was invited here by [1st District Councilman] Mark Squilla to come and tell this organization what it is that Tolentine does — that’s all I’m ready to discuss.� He brought a PowerPoint presentation, but Marino noted there was no projector in the cafeteria of Neumann-Goretti.

Mattei detailed Tolentine’s programming foci and its mission. The mission, he said, is very similar to many’s mission statements: “To improve the quality of life for all people of South Philadelphia, not necessarily Tasker to Snyder, Broad Street to Sixth Street. So it is all of South Philadelphia. We want to provide all of the constituents really, an opportunity for a better community.� He explained his background as an engineer and that he came out of 15 years of retirement to volunteer as the executive director for his wife of 52 years, Dr. Anna M. Mattei, who ASS B=:3<B7<3 ^OUS ,,

To the Editor: I recently watched a very interesting documentary about Italian immigrants and their long journey to Ellis Island where they would begin a new life in America. I started to reflect on the concept of stereotypes, which has always been so prevalent in our society. While watching this true depiction of the strong Italian influence rather than through movies and music, I never realized how much I did not know. It could be very easy to take for granted what has been so accessible, but after seeing the facts in black and white, it makes someone realize that many had to pay a high

price for success and acceptance. While there is tribulation in every culture and within every generation, a little rain must fall. I was fortunate to be born on a sunny day, never having to experience these struggles. I cannot cry over hardships that were not mine, only for the ones who have suffered in order to give us a more hopeful future. Of course, there are always going to be specific traits related to every nationality, so I think of this subject as a compliment rather than a put-down. I find that some of the stereotypes associated with our culture could be seen as warm and endearing, yet more often than not,

To the Editor: “Tom, love your column, and read it every week. Correction to your column on Billie Holiday: (“Portaits,� April 9) people often think she wrote the lyrics to “Strange Fruit,� but the lyrics and music were written by Abel Meeropol. He also wrote the song “The House I Live In.� He and his wife adopted the children of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg after their execution.�

portrait, one is a true likeness, while the other is a distorted version in which we are unfairly defined. It allows others to judge us before knowing who we are as people. Stereotypes steal our right to be individuals, force us into a typecast that could be grossly exaggerated and find us guilty merely by association. I am very proud and grateful to have been raised in the Italian culture, and will never be influenced or insulted by anyone who thinks otherwise. It simply will never matter.

negative aspects overpower the good. I guess that could be said about everyone; we all may sometimes find ourselves being melted into the same pot. Having been raised in the Italian culture, I could speak only about the stereotype I was born into, especially growing up in South Philadelphia. I try not to take it so seriously because I feel that it is quite foolish to gather up a few clichĂŠ ideas and believe them to be true. There are many characteristics associated with our heritage that are accurate, but when they are overblown it becomes fiction rather than fact. I think of stereotype as a caricature as opposed to a

Also, Frank Sinatra famously sang ‘The House I Live In.’ The story of the Rosenberg’s search for the truth about their parents was fictionalized “I don’t see the reason for it or how it’s supposed to help them.

esponding to a report of a person with a gun at 11:16 p.m., authorities headed to the 2600 block of Jackson Street and observed the first complainant suffering a left shoulder gunshot wound, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. At the Presbyterian Hospital Trauma Center, she told police that as she reached the sidewalk after walking out of her house, a bullet struck her. She heard approximately five shots coming from the area of 28th and Jackson streets but saw no shooter. Law enforcement agents learned of a second victim, who received private transport to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania due to a gunshot wound to the right side of his jaw. He had been sitting on the steps of a residence on the same block when he, too, heard approximately five rounds coming from the aforementioned intersection. After feeling blood dripping from his chin, he ran away to secure help, Tolliver said. He also ended up at Presbyterian Trauma following a transfer. While processing the scene, police noticed a 26th-and-Jackson-streets abode with a broken first-floor front window and a strike mark on the brick. They informed the occupant, who had not been aware of the damage, and spoke with a witness who reported having observed a black male wearing a dark blue hoodie standing on the sidewalk of 2600 Jackson Street at Etting Terrace and firing the gun. The bystander described the aggressor as being of an unknown age and 5-foot10; wearing the aforementioned clothing; and armed with a gun. He ran westbound toward 28th Street from 26th and Jackson streets. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

A man maced a woman after she refused his advances Friday. Walking westbound on the 2400 block of Wharton Street at 6:30 p.m., the complainant encountered a man operating a black Ford, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The individual yelled “Do you have a boyfriend?� to the female, who ignored the inquiry and kept walking toward 25th Street. As she approached that location, the same male started walking toward her and stated “Are you getting smart with me?� She continued to dodge his questions, leading him to break out a canister of Mace and spray her eyes. The victim, who received on-location treatment from a medic unit, described the individual as black, in his late 40s and 5-foot-6; having a husky build; wearing glasses with dark lenses, burgundy pants and a burgundy striped shirt. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

6][S `Sab]`ObW]\ Authorities arrested a woman for her alleged burglary of a Whitman home. Responding to a residential burglary call on the 300 block of Cantrell Street at 4:19 a.m. Saturday, authorities met with the complainants, learning from them they had realized someone had disturbed their home when their son informed them the front door was open, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They relayed that their abode was missing three laptops, a cell phone, a PlayStation, approximately 25 video games and $80. Authorities tracked the phone to the 2100 block of Cross Street, where they reportedly observed a woman sitting on

FEB?9; H;FEHJ the steps of a vacant property with a white Motorola cell phone box in her hands and a black laptop and similarly colored charger next to her. The chief complainant, Tolliver said, identified the phone and computer as his and provided the pass codes to unlock them both. He and his wife noted they did not know the offender and therefore had not granted permission for her to be in possession of their belongings. Authorities arrested Ashley Charles, of Broad and Federal streets, and charged the 31-year-old with receiving stolen property. She had not posted her $25,000 bail as of press time and awaits a May 5 preliminary hearing.

C\VO^^g Sf^S`WS\QS An at-large figure made off with cash and cigarettes in burglarizing an East Passyunk Crossing establishment. Police responded to a report of a burglary at Happy Gardens, 1942 S. Ninth St., at 6:30 p.m. April 13, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The law enforcement officials learned from the complainant that between 12:45 and 6 a.m., an unknown offender punched out the front door of the store, pried off the Plexiglas front of the shelving and removed approximately five cartons of cigarettes and $500 from the cash register before leaving the business. Video surveillance captured what appears to be the image of a male wearing dark clothing. As of press time, no further information was available.

At 1 p.m. Friday, the offender entered Chin Paper Towel Supply, 824 Washington Ave., and called the employee over to the register, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When she approached, he pulled out the cutter, pointed it at her, grabbed her arm and pushed her toward the holder, demanding “Give me the money, open the register, give me the money.� The worker complied and opened it for the man, who took approximately $50 before running eastbound on Washington Avenue towards Eighth Street. She described him as black, 30 to 40 years old and 5-foot-8; having a stocky build; and wearing a black waterproof jacket and blue jeans.

Ab`WTS W\ \c[PS`a Two men assaulted a male in Bella Vista, leaving him minus his cell phone and suffering from a laceration and an abrasion. Walking on the 1000 block of Carpenter Street at 11:45 p.m. April 14, the complainant ended up struck on the back of the head with an unknown object. Another stranger exited a black four-door sedan with tinted windows, approached the prey and punched him on the side of the face, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While the victim was on the ground, one of the perpetrators went through his pockets and removed his Samsung Metro PCS phone before he and the accomplice returned to the vehicle, with another male as the driver, and left. The complainant, who last saw them heading southbound on 10th Street across Washington Avenue and who received transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for a laceration to his lead and an arm abrasion, described the first aggressor as Asian, possibly Cambodian, and 5-foot10; being very thin; and wearing a burgundy jacket and blue jeans; and the second figure as dark-skinned yet of an unknown race and 5-foot-8; having a stocky build; and wearing a gray T-shirt. He could not provide a detailed description of the driver or of the vehicle. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/ forms. +(*

hen Edward Bok Technical School closed its doors in 2013, the displaced student population migrated with more than backpacks. Bok had long practiced specified and professional-level education, preparing graduates to jump into jobs that required unique skills. Those programs, “shops,� came to South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., along with Denise Powell, an educator with professional experience as an art director. She teaches advertising and graphic design at Southern and recently, with the help of Temple University’s Prime Movers program, produced a beautiful 20-page version of a school newspaper called Southern Ink 2015. “South Philadelphia High School Then & Now� is on the cover with images of famous Southern alumni: Eddie Lang, Edward Gottlieb, Mario Lanza, Fabian Forte, Chubby Checker, Frankie Avalon, Frank Gasparro and Marian Anderson. The book includes profiles of each of the nine technical shops, interviews of Principal Otis D. Hackney III and new athletic director Frank Natale, stories on City Year’s presence in the school, their Junior ROTC program, a visit to the National Constitution Center’s “Slavery at Jefferson’s Monticello� and two editorials on violence by Ali

Gregg and Larenz Lott, both class of ’15. It’s a charming student-fueled product that sings the praises of a school that’s often perceived as dangerous, unsuccessful, strapped for resources and undesirable for parents of students. In Powell’s second-floor lab, 22 gorgeous Apple desktop computers make a ring around student presentations that recently earned a few of her students accolades at the ’15 Philly Technology Expo and Competition Showcase. “Look at us – it’s not a crime-ridden place where you can’t get an education at all,� Powell said with a smile. She’s a certified technical educator (CTE) with a well of professional history to share with her 10th through 12th graders. “CTEs are people who bring their industry experience into the classroom and give the kids a real world learning experience,� she said. “Not only do we want to teach them how to do it, but we want to teach them how to survive once they get there.� The shops are Carpentry, Computer

Systems Networking, Culinary Arts, Advertising & Graphic Design, Business Information Technologies, Early Child Care and Services, Engineering Technologies and Health Related Technologies. Each shop may have distinguished guests, but Powell was lucky enough to have helpers from Temple University’s Department of Journalism and School of Communications. Prime Movers was founded in Washington, D.C. by Dorothy Gilliam and Acel Moore, former Philadelphia Inquirer writers, who wanted to facilitate journalistic endeavors in schools that didn’t have the budget to offer students the chance to report, write, lay out and design a print product. Maida Odom, the journalism professor at Temple who facilitates placing her students in schools, has been overseeing the program for eight years. “The fact that it’s stayed alive since 2007 — I’m happy about that,� Odom said. “Over the years it has existed in 18 schools. South Philadelphia High is one of the schools, and each high school teacher

Where can my interns go?� is what Reginald Moten, the School District of Philadelphia’s Career Awareness Specialist, says Odom asks him every semester. “South Philadelphia [High] came on board when Bok Tech closed, and Mrs. Powell was the main Prime Movers teacher.� With Powell and Prime Movers, two students fared very well at the April 10 TEC Showcase. Competition categories included Animation, Coding, Digital Art, Logo, Digital Movie, Graphic Movie, Multimedia, Programming and Web Page Design. Southern students Quynh Nguyen and Alyah Wesley won first place for Graphic Design with a menu they dreamed up for a fictitious restaurant, Fressin’ Delicious, while their colleague Edwin Harris won first place for his logo design for a ’16 Computer Fair. In “Southern Ink Press 2015,� Hackney tells Nguyen “Success is also defined by the confidence they feel their education has provided them in not only college prepatory but with work-ready skills. Students in CTE courses graduate with portfolios, industry certifications, have resumes, presentation and interview skills.� He concluded, “if you like to cook, we offer culinary, BE A GREAT COOK! Stay on the forefront of learning; keep up with innovations that apply to your discipline whether it’s engineering or graphic arts.

B=:3<B7<3 Q]\bW\cSR T`][ ^OUS has been a board member since Tolentine’s 1983 groundbreaking. After school programs seem their main focus, with summer camp close behind, and housing and facilitating sport leagues as main functions. Adult programming, older adult programming and special events rounded out Mattei’s presentation. However, it’s this disconnect between Tolentine’s stated mission to serve all of South Philadelphia and East Passyunk Crossing residents’ concerns that Tolentine doesn’t serve them that’s the source of great debate. Mattei believes that EPX residents haven’t made a strong enough effort to integrate their desires into their private organization, specifically their board of directors, and inhabitants are eyeing up Tolentine as a rare opportunity to claim some space for the greater public good. Margaret Kalalian, a 14-year resident of 13th and Moore streets, suggested a compromise could be met. “In the past 25 years, there have been a lot of demographic changes, and it’s been really exciting to be here and see this change take place,� she said. “It’s necessary now to consider the needs of the existing populations. The new community does need access to every inch of public space that’s available. What exactly is the renewal process? What’s the criteria for the city to make this lease or award? Can it be a joint lease?� Unfortunately, the representative for Parks and Recreation at the meeting, District 7 manager Joe Brogan, didn’t have any answers upfront. “I will check it out. I’ll find that out — honestly, I don’t know,� he confessed. SQUILLA WAS IN attendance and ended up serving as a bit of a referee. Mattei looked exacerbated at times and ready to leave when Squilla compelled him to relax, sit down and stay. The legislator said he was there to gauge community interest in the space and he would take recommendations to Deputy Mayor for Environmental and

Community Resources Michael DiBerardinis. “We want to go from today forward,� Squilla offered, not wanting to dwell on what Tolentine meant to EPX in the past but what it means to its community’s future. “We want both [parties] to be able to work together. We need to understand, at the end of the day, that the community and the board can sit down and work together. The community might have good ideas.� Tolentine’s history, with a few spots of suspicion, was brought up by a few members of the audience. Ian Toner, who had formerly sat on the Tolentine board before Mr. Mattei’s time as executive director, said he and another young board member felt pushed out. “I do know that we made some suggestions for things that we wanted to do or things that we thought could we could do in a better way and felt like we were met with a lot of opposition,� he said. “We hadn’t been there long enough to have an opinion about anything.� Mattei made many claims that young people from the neighborhood had tried to be on the board but failed due to a lack of stick-to-itiveness and that new board members always want to change the name (away from Tolentine).

“Tolentine previously owned the Broad Street Armory and that property was sold in 2013 for $834,000,� David Clayton, a resident of 10th and Morris, said. It seemed to fly in the face of what Mattei had said earlier, that Tolentine was in need of a new roof, a new kitchen that had failed code inspection and that each would cost nearly $40,000-$50,000 to replace correctly. Mattei said the state took half of the sale and the rest was used to recoup the cost of maintaining the dilapidated building. “Let’s find out about that,� Squilla said. There was also a question about the appointment of board members. Currently, it seems as though board members are nominated and approved by board members, a rather insular system. The community center’s tax-free status was called into question as well as the former executive director’s salary, rumored to have been as high as $50,000 at one point. Mattei said he makes nothing. Alternative park spaces were often suggested to be a solution to EPX’s dearth of them. It’s a sad truth: the incoming revamped CHOP playground in place of DiSilvestro Playground is on the other side of Broad Street; Columbus Square Park and Capitolo Playground exist along Wharton Street in Passyunk Square; otherwise, there are small parks at Dickinson Square, Burke Playground and Mifflin Square. Another vaguely private-public partnerships, Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, was brought up as a better community-beneficial partnership. EPX zoning chair David Goldfarb stood up for Toner and added “it’s really hard to believe that unless there are subsequent changes to the board [of Tolentine] that there will be any community. The biggest issue for me is that there is a nice-seeming opportunity for a big open space that is never open to the public unless it’s a structured event.� Goldfarb added “from Fifth to Broad [Street] from Wharton to Jackson [streets], there’s not a single spot of public green space.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

t just 23, Adair Arciero has ample time to consider what types of acting projects can best inspire her spirit, but no matter the endeavor, she has deemed her love for theater unconditional. Through Sunday, the resident of the 1600 block of Tasker Street is pronouncing her passion by channeling a similar sort of unflinching affection, portraying the lead character in “Penelope.� “She embodies loyalty, beauty, hope and compassion,� the recent Point Breeze transplant said of the unwavering wife of Odysseus, whose participation in the Trojan War leads suitors to look to land her hand. “As I strive to add more roles, I’m going to remember the lessons from the show.� Arciero is adding to her acumen through Inis Nua Theatre Co., which is staging the

Philadelphia premiere of Irish playwright Enda Walsh’s 2010 tragicomedy at The Prince Theater. A modern retelling of Homer’s “The Odyssey,� the script, which won the Fringe First Award at the ’10 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, finds four covetous courters striving to encourage Penelope to abandon belief in her beau’s chances of survival, with Odysseus having been gone for 20 years. “I often grappled with that sense of remaining with what’s familiar and going after what’s new,� Arciero said, noting the appealing nature of would-be winner Burns’ most provocative plea. “For her, Odysseus represents reality and the world, and she’s willing to wait for those. She knows that she needs to accept the good and the bad and forge a balance. That’s the truth of it all.� Tabbing the patient paramour as the sym-

bol of “the every woman,� the thespian added that despite perceptions fostered over centuries of claims that Penelope lacks faults, the titular character is “very much flawed.� She develops a steadfast approach to life through honing discipline and possessing a relentless disposition, boons that Arciero contends anyone can accumulate. “I understand how difficult it can be to hold on to hope, especially when alternatives are trying to push us in different directions,� she said of the chief theme of the ancient text and the contemporary creation. “I’m very appreciative of what Enda is doing within the work because when I consider ‘The Odyssey,’ it’s easy to see that Odysseus is the main person who is acquiring awareness of the world, but in ‘Penelope,’ she’s the one who is expanding her knowledge and growing stronger.� Having not known an extraordinary amount about the loyal lover, Arciero now considers her an inspiration not only for women seeking commitment in any circumstance but for all individuals who hope to hone belief in their abilities to confront and conquer fear. “Here she is, trying to understand the

world around her, and she has definite concerns,� the performer, whose participation is helping Inis Nua to offer another compelling look at authenticity, deception and the search for identity, said. “There are contrasts, too, as she is among a culture teeming with violence and yet she finds herself consumed with love. She is ready to face her surroundings and does so with such admirable energy. I’ve loved playing her.� THE NORTH CAROLINA native began to nourish her love for acting as an elementary school learner, transforming customary book reports into delightful exercises by performing as characters from her assignments. Through a Spectrum of the Arts summer camp, she acquired her inaugural morsel of theater’s power, and the aftertaste has proven everlasting. “I loved the idea of using my imagination and calling on different approaches to make people laugh,� Arciero said of her initial perception of an artistic journey. “As I matured, I wanted to take on more challenging work and see what I could make of my enthusiasm.� The energized entertainer cited “The

Sound of Music� and “Kiss Me Kate� as pivotal high school productions, with the latter, in which she played Lilli Vanessi/ Katherine, the endeavor that concluded for her that she could pursue acting as a career. She chose the University of the Arts to influence her aspirations, dubbing coming to Philadelphia “a dream come true.� “It’s a great city for teaching someone responsibility,� Arciero said of the metropolis. “I’ve had tremendous experiences here, and I’m excited to become even more involved in the scene here.� Prior to “Penelope,� the actor considered her role as Elle Woods in The University of the Arts “Legally Blonde� production her 15 minutes of fame, with turns as Mary in 11th Hour Co.’s “The Life� and as Ophelia in the Scranton-based Rev Theatre Co.’s “Hamlet� also highly educational, with her Shakespearean duty prompting a laugh as she recalled how taxing it was to go crazy each day. She credits copious exposure to Shakespeare with intensifying her drive, as his canon allows for so much language-based exploration and emotional immersion. While again celebrating the Bard appeals to Arciero, she

is keeping herself completely open to taking on diverse projects, noting that musical theater helped her heart to blossom as a performer. “There is so much potential in the theater world, and so many people have such amazing ideas,� she said. Enamored with their energy, Arciero, with interests in film, music and photography, yearns to collaborate and create with her peers, ultimately hoping to helm the formation of an arts collective. Dance, tennis, time with family and friends and yoga also appeal to her sensibilities, making her, like Penelope, someone whose appreciation for life demands a diligent understanding of persistence. “I’m a huge advocate for being involved and active,� Arciero said. “I’m young but I never expect those qualities to change. I have to be learning in order to create something that I’ll be proud of and that can teach others.� SPR For tickets, call 215-454-9776, or visit inisnuatheatre.org.

t takes only a familiar song to get my mind wandering. Music is not only the soundtrack of our lives, it is our lives. Tim Buckley’s ethereal voice returns me to a bewildering time. Nightmarish times. Buckley’s “Once I Was.� Once we all were quite different, those of us who lived through the Vietnam War era. Dates all jumbled in my brain. A Sunday afternoon. The Villanova campus. My young idealistic cousin and I. Phil Berrigan speaking to us from his anguished heart. Father Phil. Hating the Vietnam War, not just against it. Followed by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. They had lived the nightmare we only opposed in theory. “Once I was a soldier and I fought on foreign fields for you ... do you ever think of me?�... Another night. August. Steamy August. The Democratic Convention. Robert Kennedy murdered just months before. The tribute would happen in just hours. Grief. Untold grief that it could happen again. Guests for dinner. One of them kept using the N-word and made the most horrific comments as if to bait me into an argument. Became too much when he claimed he would rather have his daughter marry James Earl Ray than Martin Luther King. Tossed them both out. I was a poor host that night. “I Ain’t Marching anymore ...� George McGovern rally at 15th and Chestnut streets. Phil Ochs singing. Not a prayer for McGovern to beat Richard Nixon. Didn’t seem to matter to us. Still believed in miracles back then. Happy endings. The crowd surges. Moment of panic pressed against the Jacob Reed building, stately men’s clothing store where a CVS now stands. “Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards everyone. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?� “The Armies of the Night� by Norman Mailer. War protesters beaten up on the steps of the Pentagon. The Democratic Convention of 1968. Riots outside. Protesters having the crap knocked out of them in Lincoln Park. Emotional riots inside. Ex-Marine Dan Rather punched in the stomach by a security guard. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley spotted giving the choke sign to Sen. Abe Ribicoff as he was calling out the violence onstage. The Democrats finally nominate Hubert Humphrey, a decent man caught up in the maelstrom. Nixon’s the one. “Well, it’s 1-2-3, what are we fighting’ for?� Taylor Grant. Broadcast Phillies games at one point. Innocuous enough. Turns to news. Takes

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [ it serious. Moves to WPEN. Things change. The war deepens. Grant’s fiery radio commentary excoriates the war and its supporters. The sponsor, PGW, whom Grant calls “the kindly blue flame.� He ticks off someone important (Frank Rizzo?) and suddenly, Grant is gone. His kindly blue flame flickers out. Pete Seeger. Shirtsleeves rolled up, acoustic guitar in hand. Sings an old folk song with new meaning. We are knee deep in the Big Muddy. Woodstock. Yasgur’s Farm. Wanted to go, but had one kid and another on the way. Three days in mud. Peace and love also pot and lots of rutting. Had to watch it on film in a movie theater. Seems that’s how I spent that era as a concerned bystander. Just a bystander while good Americans fought and died on foreign soil and some got their heads cracked here at home. Curtain opens on the immense crowd. Jimi Hendrix plays the hell out of “The Star-Spangled Banner.� “Oh say can we see�... can we see a way out of here? The unthinkable. Kent State University. Kids toss rocks at the National Guard. Nobody knows who gave the command. I thought I heard someone say “fire,� says one guardsman. Four students dead. Showcased on the nightly news. “Tin soldiers. Nixon coming. We’re finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming. Four dead in Ohio ...� Rallies in Center City. New York Mets beat the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series, but for the first time, baseball seems insignificant. Kids burn draft cards. I am in my early 30s. I hold on to mine. Meaningless gesture? Act of cowardice? Another example of being a bystander? Meanwhile I’m writing angry stuff in this newspaper. Emotional stuff against the war. I get angry phone calls at home. Number listed in the Yellow Pages. Last time it ever was. The mail brings crazy stuff. The writings of Chairman Mao Zedong. Picture of Nixon with implied threats scribbled in red. Skinny harmonica-playing kid calls himself Bob Dylan and sings “In the nineteen sixties came the Vietnam War. Can somebody tell me what we’re fightin’ for?� Anti-war students and construction workers shout at one another across generational and cultural lines. The streets are on fire. Families fight at the dinner table. Hair grows longer and ticks off some. Even my sideburns creep down my face and some of my old friends stare at me thinking maybe I’ve gone daft. A family doctor asks me whether I can tie those sideburns under my chin with a bow. Walter Cronkite turns against the war. And Ochs laughs away on the draft dodger rag. “Oh I’m only sixteen, I got a ruptured spleen and an old maid invalid aunt.� The real heroes fought and sometimes died or became maimed for life. Some of the heroic survivors got greeted with jeers here at home. Our ultimate shame. Tim Buckley — “... do you ever think of me ...� Thinking of you today. In strange lands. Fighting in wars we still don’t understand. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

nne Colagioia deserves kudos. A cook since childhood, she early on learned how to make fresh pasta and fondly recalls the joys of assisting her mother. Multiple sclerosis necessitated dietary changes in her 40s, but instead of parting with pasta, the resident of the 1600 block of South Beulah Street resolved to enjoy the comfort food minus an ingredient that would bring anything but ease, resulting in her Gluten-free Tagliatelle. The Passyunk Square dweller has become so adept at crafting creations without the protein composite that she began the YouTube-based EZGlutenFree channel. Courtesy of the listed flour blend, which replaces multiple flours and gums, Colagioia, other afflicted fans of feasting and those simply looking to give up gluten can revel, especially when adding heated sauce.

ith a rĂŠsumĂŠ that reveals the rewards of patience and persistence, Shawn Collins possesses a workmanlike attitude perfect for a Philadelphia professional. For the last three years, the hardworking hire has honed his commitment to cuisine as the chef at The Wishing Well, 767 S. Ninth St., aiding the Bella Vista site’s rapid rise as a must-visit spot. “I’m looking to please everyone who walks in, so that enthusiasm always motivates me,â€? the 29-year-old resident of the 700 block of South Ninth Street said of helping owner Christopher Martino’s fiveyear-old brainchild to thrive. “It’s about understanding the clientele and appreciating the diversity of tastes.â€? Collins commenced his curiosity at age 10 thanks to his mother’s employment as a wedding planner and banquet manager. Because his youth bred many opportunities to nourish nutritional contentment for diners, he matriculated at Schenectady County Community College, a stop that endowed the New York native not only with a degree but also added vigor for his endeavors. Employment with Disney, Pizza Hut, which morphed into a managerial role, and Brauhaus Schmitz, 718 South St., preceded his arrival at The Wishing Well, where he has garnered great responses to his creations, particularly his beef jerky. “We brought it out last summer, and it was a big hit,â€? Collins confided. “Jerky is always going to be popular no matter where someone goes to find it because it’s convenient and delicious.â€? While wings and burgers also enjoy renown at the site, with the latter selling at an “absolutely crazyâ€? rate, the jerky inspires much-appreciated jubilation, with the chef encouraging readers to replace the eye round with butcher-quality venison if interested in a more daring delicacy. No matter one’s selection, including giant smoked turkey legs, which Collins

will feature at The South 9th Street Italian Market Festival May 16 and 17, entering The Wishing Well figures to make cravings for comfort food come true. “I’ve always loved being in this industry,� he said. “Being here, I’m dedicated to making everyone happy.�

Preheat oven to 200 degrees or a dehydrater to 135 degrees. Use metal racks to lay out all the strips evenly with no overlapping. If using an oven, reduce heat to 160 degrees, insert the racks and cook for six to seven hours. For chewier jerky, cook for four to five hours. If using a dehydrater, cook for eight hours.

he classic American steakhouse will never go out of style. Trends and food fads come and go, but steakhouses are dependable and reliable. They serve top quality prime beef but also feature seafood on their menus. There is something for everyone at the steakhouse. Luke Palladino has top-quality beef, but I went for the finest swordfish dish I have ever tasted. A rundown of Philadelphia steakhouses is in order. Chops opened in the Comcast building a few months back. There is The Prime Rib, Stephen Starr’s Barclay Prime and Butcher and Singer, Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse, Morton’s, Kevin Sbraga’s Juniper Commons, The Palm, Ruth’s Chris and The Capital Grill. The steakhouse philosophy is simple: The food is straightforward and beautifully presented. Menus are always a la carte. Classic appetizers may include a raw bar of oysters and cherrystone clams. Shrimp cocktail and clams casino are also popular. Soups such as lobster or shrimp bisque are classic. I have never seen chicken or vegetable soup on a steakhouse menu. If one salad defines the steakhouse experience, it is the wedge. One-half head of cold crisp iceberg lettuce is topped with bits of bacon and a chunky, preferably homemade blue cheese dressing. The runner up is the Caesar. Prime beef, sometimes dry-aged, is the star. Some chefs prefer to slow roast prime ribs of beef. It should be roasted on the

bone, and served rare to medium-rare. A rib steak is the same cut, but it is grilled or pan roasted. This cut is well-marbled. The fat adds to its luscious flavor and texture. Some steakhouses offer two sizes. Filet mignon is also popular. It should be served rare. Anything else is a crime. If a fillet is just the tiniest bit overcooked, it will lose all its tenderness and juiciness. T-bones often make an appearance as does the porterhouse. Sauces play an important role in serving classic steaks. Bearnaise and bordelaise are my favorites. Jumbo lobsters take pride of place as well — either steamed or grilled — and served with drawn butter. I don’t think restaurants offer lobster bibs anymore. Dover sole, baked stuffed shrimp and thick fluke flounder are classics. But the iconic steakhouse dish from the sea — and one of my favorites — is baked crab imperial. The supporting cast of sides enhances the experience. I have no idea why creamed spinach is usually offered, but it is uncommonly good. Asparagus with hollandaise is tops. Supersized baked potatoes and potatoes au gratin have always been staples. Sauteed mushrooms, golden onion rings and french fries may complete the list. Desserts are classic all-American. Cheesecake, New-York style or otherwise, hot fudge sundaes, chocolate cake or brownies a la mode. All are delicious ways to end a meal. When I think of the steakhouse, I do not think of new-fangled cocktails. The martini and the Manhattan are sure bets. I have a friend who enjoys Scotch neat before dinner. Rich, bold red wines from around the world are in order. Establishments have a sommelier to help someone in the selection process. Wine lists at steakhouses tend to be quite large and sometimes overwhelming, so set a price range. I intend to review all the steakhouses in the city. It will be interesting to see if they all feature the classics, and more interesting to see if they have added anything new. +(*

casional hindrance but something that has acquired layers of maturity. Following graduation from St. Richard School, now St. Pio Regional Catholic School, 1826 Pollock St., he spent a year at St. John Neumann High School, formerly 2600 Moore St., before transferring to The Prep. He enjoyed a solid career for the North Philly-based school, earning All-City honors as a senior and elected to further his Jesuit-aided education on Hawk Hill. A three-year starter at first base, he again proved prolific, but a professional sojourn did not beckon, so, with a permanent penchant for acquiring and sharing wisdom, he considered coaching and has used his inquisitive and altruistic demeanor to produce championship celebrations and lifelong memories. “So much of this game, I’d say half, is psychological, so that mental preparation is crucial,� Gunn said. “My job has often been about playing part-dad and partfriend, especially for the Germantown kids, so I’m committed to their growth and comprehension.�

That discipline has ingratiated Gunn with the Brooklawn American Legion, who captured the ’01 American Legion World Series championship; the North Carolina-based Outer Banks Daredevils; Arcadia University, where he also earned his master’s in secondary education; the Massachusetts-situated Brewster Whitecaps; Saint Joseph’s; Broomall’s All-Star Baseball Academy; IMG; Swarthmore College; Great Valley’s Maplezone Sports Academy; and the King of Prussiaheadquartered Diamond Sports Academy. Along his multi-stop journey, it seems that for every victory he has celebrated, he has acquired three times the amount of friendships, and he counts Stan Exeter, whom he coached under at Arcadia and Swarthmore; Dennis Barth, who proved instrumental during his American Legion stint; and Shawn Pender, an advance scout for the Cincinnati Reds and former Saint Joseph’s head coach, as lasting influences. He aims to judge his coaching success by continuing to help players to enter college, become draft picks and follow him in the coaching ranks. For the first endeavor, he is inspiring his Germantown band to give its all. “They know I will be on them all the time,� Gunn said of the 9-6 Tigers, whose most recent triumph during their six-game winning streak came Saturday versus Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St. “We have a solid group and plan to make some noise.� Perfectly content with his involvement with the K-12 school, whose setup gives him a “mini minor league system,� Gunn confided that he considers making it back into college ball his ultimate goal. “When I look back and ahead, for that matter, I realize this game is about forging connections,� Gunn, also enamored with giving clinics and private instruction, said. “I’m happy to have made so many and anticipate many more.� SPR Contact gunn.timothy@gmail.com.

s a baseball-loving youth, Tim Gunn loved hitting, deeming it his ticket to gaining distinction. The gifted slugger earned merit for his might as a registrant at St. Joseph’s Preparatory School and Saint Joseph’s University, with his prowess at the latter location placing him in the program’s top-10 list in four categories. Since his 2001 collegiate graduation, the resident of the 2900 block of South Smedley Street has called on his knowledge for knocking the cover off the ball to become a commended coach. “This game is a disease for me, and I never want to find a cure,� the 35-year-old head coach of the Germantown Friends School squad said of his diamond infatuation. “It has a hold on me and creates bonds that no other sport can match.� Along with never seeking a remedy for his figurative affliction, the Marconi inhabitant wishes to infect as many people as possible with similar sentiments. The Germantown Friends charges have served as his primary recipients since ’12, his inaugural year culminating with their capturing the Friends League championship, but he has ventured to numerous spots to edify, including New Jersey, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Florida and Australia. “I think I have a presence that clicks with people,� Gunn said of his gregarious nature, which, along with his impressive list of connections, including links to the Bradenton, Fla.-situated IMG Academy, where he coached global high schoolers in ’10 and ’13, led to his winter trip to the Oceanian commonwealth. “One way of thinking is never going to make it in this game unless it’s about giving effort and having the right attitude.� The insightful instructor interacted with hopefuls in Perth and Adelaide during the Australian summer, helping the 14-andunder National Team to a 14-1 mark and first-place prestige. With a reputation for enjoying conversation, the natives delighted Gunn with their interest in his beloved sport, with the local likening
