explained the many ways in which the property, as is, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t function without a massive structural overhaul. The hardship is needed because the theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s protected as a historical property, particularly the northern, South
Street-facing façade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a restriction on the deed in place by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) that protects the architecture of the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No construction, alteration, rehabilitation, remodeling, demolition, site development, ground disturbance, or other action shall be undertaken or permitted to said property without prior written permission from the Commission,â&#x20AC;? it states. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the many hurdles Carl Dranoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development idea for the theater will have to clear, but it seems
like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the right track. The lifetime Philadelphianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to expand on the impact of his South Star Lofts at the northeast corner of Broad and South streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project will be dramatic and will restore one of the historic and prominent sites on this corridor,â&#x20AC;? the Center City resident, who was born at Mount Sinai hospital, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In its present form, it could not be redeveloped, that was the purpose of the hardship application, to illustrate and analyze potential options, all of which have come to a dead-end for
the past 45 years. To transform it, we can transform the property and retain the historical prominence and create a new jewel along South Street that will be very compatible and additive to the vibrancy of South Street that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen over the last several years.â&#x20AC;? The proposal, assuming the Historical Commission approves the hardship (and it seems members will on July 10), would mostly just keep the façade and build a mixed retail and residential property larger than the ASS @=G/: B63/B3@ ^OUS ,,

To the Editor: Many Fourth of July celebrations include a tasty barbecue and an exciting fireworks display. While these events are great fun, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to practice safety around the grill and fireworks. The following are safety tips from the Philadelphia Fire Department: Propane and charcoal grills must only be used outdoors. If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces such as tents, they pose a fire hazard and a risk of exposing occupants to deadly carbon monoxide. When in use, grills should be at least 15 feet from any structure and at least 3 feet from any combustible materials. When purchasing a grill, select one that bears the approval mark of an indepen-
dent testing laboratory. Make a thorough inspection of the grill before each use. For propane grills, pay particular attention to connections and hoses. Look for cracking, brittleness, holes and leaks. Replace any damaged or corroded propane tanks. Never store spare propane cylinders under or near a grill or inside the home. Always store propane cylinders upright. Do not transport propane cylinders in the trunk of a passenger vehicle. Children should never be allowed to start outdoor cooking equipment. Allow lighter fluid to penetrate charcoals for five to 10 minutes before lighting, as this creates a smaller, controlled flame. Once you have started a fire, never add starter fluid. Fire may follow the stream

of fluid back to the container, causing an explosion and scattering flaming liquid. Never use gasoline to start your fire. Keep a small spray can of water handy to douse flaming grease. Do not wear loose fitting clothing while cooking. Always turn off valves when not in use. Use caution in disposing of the ashes. Ashes may contain live coals that can start a fire. The safest method is to wet ashes thoroughly with water before emptying the grill. Fireworks safety tips: The only legal fireworks for sale or use in Philadelphia are sparklers. Even though sparklers are legal, they can produce hot sparks and the temperature of a sparkler can reach 1,800 degrees. Children using sparklers must be supervised by adults. Children should be taught at an early age that all fireworks are dangerous. Children should be instructed never to pick up fireworks they find and to call an adult if they find fireworks. The Philadelphia Fire Department suggests leaving fireworks in the hands of the professionals.

To the Editor: What have you done to the Review? For the past 20 years, the first page I turned to was Letters to the Editor. So many writers had so much to say and such unique ways of saying it. They all seem to have disappeared, and most of what is on the page now, I find very dull and uninteresting and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even read it anymore. I truly miss what seems to have been deliberately scrubbed. Why would you do that to what was so important to your readers?

he complainants notified authorities that they were on the 900 block of South Fourth Street at 2:30 a.m. when a car pulled up behind them, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Two females exited the vehicle, with one wielding a pry bar and the other a can of Mace. The initial complainant became involved in a struggle for her purse after a blast of Mace hit her in the face, with the aggressors demanding â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give it up.â&#x20AC;? The other victim attempted to run away upon seeing her friend sprayed, but one of the offenders chased and struck her with the bar. She was able to take the weapon away from the offender and chased the individuals back to the car, which she classified as a late 1900s/early 2000s gray or silver four-door, possibly a Mazda that she last saw heading southbound on Fourth Street. She described the first at-large criminal as black, 17 to 18 years old and 5-foot-4; having a thin build and a dark complexion; and wearing a blue head scarf; and the second as black and 20 to 25 years old; having a medium build; and wearing a white T-shirt and a blue and white head scarf.

>O^S` b`OWZ Police arrested a Northeast East Philly man for supposedly burglarizing a South of South entity. On June 22, the manager of the Construction Mall Corp., 1501 Washington Ave., arrived at work to open up and found the back gate lock cut, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He checked the location and realized curb traps and rolls of torch down rubber roofing paper, valued at $53,000, had gone missing. He inspected the video surveillance system and saw an unknown man place a plastic bag over the rear yard camera two days earlier. Based on the footage, authorities arrested Nicholas Casparro and charged him with criminal conspiracy, criminal trespassing, theft and burglary. He had not posted his $50,000 bail as of press time and awaits a July 14 preliminary hearing.

<]b POQYW\U R]e\ Police detained a man who supposedly shot another male in Point Breeze. The complainant told authorities that on June 20, he suffered a single gunshot wound to the back while near the 1700 block of Federal Street. According to Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division, a family member transported him to Methodist Hospital, with medical personnel then taking him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where overseers listed him in stable condition. Processing the scene, authorities gathered evidence relevant to the crime and arrested Bernard Peterson, of the 2200 block of South Woodstock Street, June 24. They charged the 32-year-old, who had not posted his $875,000 bail as of press time and who awaits a July 31 status hearing, with possession of an instrument of crime, attempted murder, simple and aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and firearms violations.

At approximately 2 a.m. June 20, police ventured to the 1000 block of South Ninth Street for a report of a robbery in progress, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant noted that as he walked northbound on the stretch, a stranger approached him on a bike. The individual pulled out a small black handgun, pointed it at the male and de-
manded money and his cell phone. The complainant gave him $10 but said he did not have a phone, leading the offender to shout â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give me your cell phone, or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll shoot you.â&#x20AC;? The victim ran off and flagged down a police officer, who helped to survey the area with negative results. The uninjured man described the offender as black, 20 to 25 years old and 5-foot-10 to 6 foot; having a thin build; being cleanshaven; possessing a weapon; and wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans.

EWQYSR RWa^]aWbW]\ The Queen Village Neighbors Association (QVNA) issued a Monday release to inform residents of an ongoing scam. According to the civic entity, a man has started going door-to-door to ask for donations for the victims of the South Carolina-situated church shooting. Appearing very legitimate, he claims to be petitioning in conjunction with nearby Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and has claimed peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names and signatures to go along with the pilfered cash contributions. Mother Bethel Church has informed QVNA that its overseers do not know the man and are not taking donations.

/``Sab bVOb [O\ Police detained a Grays Ferry man for allegedly stabbing a male in their neighborhood. Responding to a call for a person with a weapon, authorities ventured to the 2100 block of Taney Terrace at 3:50 a.m. June 12 and encountered the complainant bleeding severely from his right leg, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He pointed in the direction of a fleeing man and informed them he was the perpetrator. They stopped him on the 2100 block of Bailey Terrace and arrested him following their recovery of evidence related to the crime, which the victim said occurred as a result of the offender attempting to steal a flat screen that he had intended to sell to a neighbor. They charged John Bell, of the 1900 block of South 29th Street, with possession of an instrument of crime, simple and aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person. The 50-year-old had not posted his $25,000 bail as of press time and awaits a July 23 preliminary hearing. +(* Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Authorities arrested a Pennsport man for supposedly stealing an auto not far from his residence. On June 20, while working in the area of ?cW\b]\ the 52nd Street Market 6O`beSZZ Frankford Line station, two SEPTA police officers, through a tip from someone who had watched surveillance video of an auto theft on the 100 block of Alter Street, approached Quinton Hartwell to ask some questions, but the 22-year-old allegedly ran from them. They eventually tracked him down on the 4900 block of Olive Street and detained him. They had been looking for the Pennsport inhabitant for his reported theft of a vehicle on May 31. In that incident, surveillance footage captured someone entering the car shortly after 4:45 p.m., with the complainant reported it missing at 8 a.m. June 1. Law enforcement officials located the item on the 300 block of Market Street two days later, with Hartwell purportedly fleeing the scene once police had discovered it. Authorities charged the resident of the 1200 block of South Hancock Street with receiving stolen property, unlawful taking, unauthorized use of auto and resisting arrest. He had not posted his $75,000 bail as of press time and awaits a July 7 preliminary hearing.

helping the community imagine pathways to getting [successful outcomes],â&#x20AC;? Hersh said. This projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big collaborative effort and not just on behalf of MAP and residents of Whitman and Pennsport. A big partner is Cohabitation Strategies, an international architecturally-concerned agency that specializes in protecting and bolstering communities endangered by greed, gentrification and unjust public policy that favors the rich. Members of the Cohabitation Strategies team have been interviewing residents to ask them about their lives, hopes and concerns for the neighborhood. Hersh says they contain thoughts on â&#x20AC;&#x153;their relationships to the different communities and how that makes them feel and what they dream about, what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see happen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some people talk about a lack of green space and a desire for greater green spaces.â&#x20AC;? The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage is involved, too. It has provided some funding, and Italian artist Lucia Sanromanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an independent curator who was asked by Mural Arts to audit their successes and propose projects that would more successfully engage communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2013, Pew gave Mural Arts a very interesting grant that was focused on inviting three art curators to come and see and
assess their art practices as well as suggest new programs,â&#x20AC;? Sanroman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I invited artists, urban planners, thinkers, and intellectuals to come to Philadelphia for the year and to sort of do an urban mapping to discuss what area of Philly could be best served with engagement and how that could be achieved. Play is a powerful tool, and the concept of useful knowledge is also powerful.â&#x20AC;? BETH MCCONNELL IS the policy director at the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations (PACDC), and she lives on the 2000 block of South Darien Street. Mural Arts reached out to McConnell as a nearby neighbor and for her expertise in community engagement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way that they approached me about it initially was weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a group of artists from around the world that care deeply about civic participation and the creation of art but art thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in neighborhoods and communities,â&#x20AC;? McConnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So not just art for artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; art with a purpose.â&#x20AC;? Certainly, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of MAPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage: from graffiti removal, working with former prisoners, art education and community-engaged mural projects. But this is a project whose goal isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a piece of public art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their goal of using art as a way to en-

hiladelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; South Philly especially. As Center City and University City max out at their development capacities, the sprawlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heading south. What are we to do about it? How can we brace ourselves for the next decade of shifting neighborhood dynamics in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclusive, not exclusive? And how can we effectively welcome communities to the table whose primary language isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t English? These are a few of the questions that Mural Arts Project (MAP) is going after with a new project based out of a rented empty lot on 632 Jackson St. called Playgrounds for Useful Knowledge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rented it from the lot owner and the lot owner lives in South Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;? but not in the immediate vicinity, reported MAP project manager Shari Hersh. They arrived there in mid-May and will engage the immediate communities through September. The lot, technically, has no playground, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really a park â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed off except for when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in use. But there are plenty of opportunities to use the space, and MAPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still ironing out the fine print. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have people be able to use it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have someone come unlock it for them and lock it when they go [but] people are always welcome if anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in there,â&#x20AC;? Hersh explained. On Monday, they held an â&#x20AC;&#x153;action,â&#x20AC;? a phrase theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using to describe the multiple spats of scheduled programming that aim at enriching community-building efforts and opening dialogues between seemingly disparate citizens. Actions strive to expose and emphasize â&#x20AC;&#x153;useful knowledge,â&#x20AC;? a phrase being used to articulate the ways in which citizens may have loads of helpful information that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both not sharing with near neighbors and could benefit many if they shared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have so many strengths, but the community is fractured by language and ethnicity, and this is a project about
gage people is a really accessible way to get folks around the table as opposed to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, everybody, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go have a meeting about gentrification,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? McConnell joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as the city is changing so much in so many different neighborhoods; new immigrants are moving in, people with wealth and developers who want to invest are moving in and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for the next neighborhood, the next place to go now that Center City and University City are built up and expanding. People in this neighborhood see change coming, and they want to be a part of that change.â&#x20AC;? Cohabitation Strategiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Miguel Robles-Duran and Emiliano Gandolfi were at Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action and spoke about how architecture and policy can threaten communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the main principles of our organization is to look for ways of developing without displacement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we believe that can happen. Old neighborhoods can be transformed,â&#x20AC;? Robles-Duran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of urban policy and what policy is catering to. The policy that Philadelphia has created around housing and developmentâ&#x20AC;? is catered to the wealthy, he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is completely unjust and unfair, and there are much more balanced ways of growing a city. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them historically.â&#x20AC;? The idea that â&#x20AC;&#x153;gentrification is natural, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s produced by politicians, bankers and developers.â&#x20AC;? Their investigations report approximately 300 empty lots in the area, most of them privately owned, and the hope is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not all handed over to folks from outside of the neighborhood or city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These lots are disappearing but not for the type of development that people would like to see,â&#x20AC;? the planner added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The analysis we have done in this neighborhood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in five years itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be absolutely transformed.â&#x20AC;? Hersh encourages anyone in the neighborhood, especially community groups seeking a space to commune, to call her cell MAP cell phone (267-972-3944) to request access. There are urban ecology/ gardening workshops on the last Saturday of every month, youth art classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (July 22 to Aug. 27), and a big art action event planned for Sept. 19. +(*

Dranoff said. The proposal calls for 45 apartments with 20 underground parking spaces and 7,100 square feet of retail with 140 feet of frontage, four stories at its highest, and a mix between one- and two-bedroom apartments. In its current state, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 8,500 square footage with 30-foot ceilings, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on a corner, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger than most retailers want. The historically AfricanAmerican theater was a treasure to the largely black community decades ago, and Dranoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team laid out analyses of number-crunching efforts that sought to return the Royal Theater to its original usage. But the numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to profit from that model in 2015. Dranoff says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tight with Kenny Gamble who, along with CFO Shahied Dawan, runs Universal Companies, which has owned the Royal since â&#x20AC;&#x2122;00. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working together on this project, though it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t downplay the changes that have occurred on and near South Street in the past couple decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really looked at it from the very beginning as a mainstay in the community, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s totally reflective of so many entertainers in the African American community in South Philly,â&#x20AC;?

A lot of people that still remain here are living in the units that we constructed, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on both sides of Broad Street.â&#x20AC;? AT TUESDAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HEARING, Dranoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative from Econsult Solutions laid out the potentials they ran the numbers for: retail only, a movie theater with one (400 seats) or two (175 seats each) screens, a live performance venue, only residential, and mixed use retail/residential or retail/ commercial. None resulted in a profit. They even analyzed profit per screen from local movie theaters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the average theater has 7.8 screens in Philadelphia (at its lowest end, the Ritz has a screen revenue of $160,000 a year). As for a theater, they pointed to the unsure futures of the Prince Theater, the Suzanne Roberts Theatre, Society Hill Playhouse, 507 S. Eighth St., and Plays & Players.

Mostly, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re near neighbors who want the property to be townhomes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The latest proposal to demolish everything except for the front façade has been the most realistic proposal,â&#x20AC;? Jim Campbell, an architect with a practice on the 1500 block of South and a residence on the 1600 block, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people in the neighborhood who wanted milliondollar townhouses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea of 20 cars parking, which is miniscule, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea of renters.â&#x20AC;? But Campbell says the history of the theater hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been ignored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big sentiment in the neighborhood to preserve some of the history of the Royal Theater, about who built it and what population did it serve,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important piece.â&#x20AC;?

the Center City Residents Association, is all for Dranoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision. Lauren Vidas, SOSNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair, said she has neighbors whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the neighborhood since the 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s who lived through the potential for a crosstown expressway but since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stuck around, their main corridorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiencing a renaissance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the phoenix of corridors, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming back strong and vibrant and businesses who have been here for ages are getting a second or third wind,â&#x20AC;? said Vidas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this venue meant to the city and the African American neighborhood that surrounded it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how do we respect and honor it?â&#x20AC;? She concluded that the near neighbors surely â&#x20AC;&#x153;recognize that the future of the corridor is different from its history.â&#x20AC;? Matt Levinson, the owner of 2012-born Quick Fixx, 1511 South St., and resident of the 1500 block of South Street for about five years, also sits on the South Street Business Owners Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I opened, there have been about eight places open on the two blocks of 1500 and 1600,â&#x20AC;? he said. As for the Royal, he says he and his fellow business owners are â&#x20AC;&#x153;cautiously optimistic.

r. Janet Monge has merited much acclaim for her professional proficiency, but unlike many scientists who have castigated the carefree components of their careers, the 61-year-old contends that true success comes from never abandoning oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner child. Fully enamored with the preservation of her version, the resident of the 200 block of Morris Street recently tallied another nod t o
perpetual curiosity by co-editing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Anatomy of the Mummy,â&#x20AC;? a special issue from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter where we look, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a treasure trove of data desperate for interpretation,â&#x20AC;? the Pennsport inhabitant said from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, where she serves as a curator of physical anthropology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project became a global endeavor to communicate across boundaries and make connections among the past, present and future.â&#x20AC;? The exhilarated expert noted the product, which comprises 26 research articles addressing mummy studies accomplished mainly through CAT scans, magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopy, stems from a 2011 Penn Museum-situated symposium that tackled the lessons that remains can inspire. Consisting of investigations from lands such as Denmark, Egypt, Korea and Peru, it reinforces her infatuation with cross-disciplinary endeavors and further validates mummification as the means to help forms to achieve some form of immortality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a valuable experience to work so heavily with the authors,â&#x20AC;? Monge said of preparing the June

brainchild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows the significance of understanding experiences, and many people overlook or flat out negate what the dead can teach us.â&#x20AC;? An eternal student of the departed, Monge believes the content of the collection will provide ripened examiners, budding enthusiasts and green individuals with an admiration for the global family. Once one enhances or initiates that acknowledgment, she will gladly welcome that person as a fellow temporary custodian of a segment of human history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My whole job is to figure out the past,â&#x20AC;? Monge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really rings my bell. I have an obsession with trying to use and glean the tools that help us to learn about the people of bygone eras. With this issue of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Anatomical Record,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear to me that conservation not only of these bodies but also of the sheer joy of analyzing who has witnessed life before us is, pardon the pun, a pretty timeless treat.â&#x20AC;?

regaling registrants at Penn and Princeton University with tales of field stops in places such as Africa, Australia and Europe. If she were not so humble, she could also tout the discovery of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest known bone tumor and curator duties for the Penn Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Human Evolution: The First 200 Million Yearsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Year of Proof: Making an Unmaking Raceâ&#x20AC;? exhibitions, the former marking the largest National Science Foundation grant in the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 128-year history, a $1.7 million endowment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see my accomplishments from a distance,â&#x20AC;? the simple scientist said of her feats, which include international speaking engagements, expert testimony assistance in criminal defense cases, forensic consultation chores for law enforcement officials and interaction with homicide detectives in pursuing leads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still treat everything I do as if I were a child. There are so many people in the scientific world who are careerists. They want only selfpromotion, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that results if we forget that our jobs should be fun.â&#x20AC;? That is not to say her tasks do not involve the occasional touch of sadness, including her identification of blunt-force trauma as
the cause of death for several of the men buried at Duffyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cut, a stretch of railroad tracks near Malvern where in 1832, 57 Irish immigrants hired to lay the line perished from what many claimed was a consequence of a cholera pandemic. As a Penn Museum release in conjunction with the issueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unveiling notes, though, Monge wishes to promote â&#x20AC;&#x153;new and meaningful data about our shared human past.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one to knock the present,â&#x20AC;? the director of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fossil casting program, which produces more than 3,000 bones representing all phases of human and primate evolution, said of contemporary matters, including her assisting the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University dental schools in showing that children are exhibiting signs of dental and skeletal maturation earlier than youngsters from a generation ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital to see how the present takes cues from the past. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all relative and fascinating, too.â&#x20AC;?

constant questioning would have begun her methodical mission very early in life, but Monge did not come to count anthropology as an interest until her undergraduate days at Penn State University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really see myself at a disadvantage because pretty early on, I became extremely enthused about inquiring about humanity and grasping as much as I could on what defines us and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown and developed,â&#x20AC;? she revealed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Human evolution, human biological differences and human culture spurred me, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still the key to capturing insights and sharing views.â&#x20AC;? Acquiring her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, Monge began to drag the past out into the light more earnestly and has deemed herself quite fortunate to foster a sense of belonging through the Ivy League institution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think I possess a strong moral compass,â&#x20AC;? she said with an uproarious laugh, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrilled to point myself in the direction of work that really bolsters the quest for answers.â&#x20AC;? Holding that passion and insight must drive everything that someone chooses as a vocational pursuit, Monge rejoices in

t is that time of year again, and we are not talking about the summer. Tomato season has come around, and Diane Pecca likes to use this section of the calendar to bring a little of the southern states to local homes. The Girard Estate resident uses common kitchen ingredients to create her Fried Green Tomatoes recipe. Serve them as appetizers, as the inhabitant of the 2300 block of South 16th Street usually does, or whip them together if spontaneity strikes. Pecca noted her daughter recently returned from West Virginia, where dwellers have begun serving the delicacies on sandwiches with dipping sauce complements. That sounds like the seed of enjoying a great meal! +(*

tephen Starr is Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prolific restauranteur. He has a keen sense of what types of restaurants people enjoy, and goes to great lengths to include diversity of cuisines and price points. As I wait for new South Philly restaurants to open, I thought it a good idea to revisit a few places, from time-to-time, to determine whether they are still up to standards. Since I reviewed dinner at Jones years ago, I decided to experience lunch/brunch this time around. Jones may be my favorite Starr restaurant, as it never disappoints. It is a family restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on my recent visits, moms, dads and children were tucking into burgers, salads and the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous made-from-scratch tater tots. The establishment serves La Colombe coffee, which is always a plus. The lunch/brunch menu offers dishes for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tastes. Once upon a time, in a city about 1,200 miles away, I enjoyed lox, eggs and onions. The city is North Miami Beach and the restaurant was the famous Rascal House. When I saw Jones makes this breakfast classic ($11), I had to order it. The chefs dice slightly salty belly lox and onions into tiny pieces. The eggs were gently scrambled exactly the way I enjoy them. Tater tots are not just for kids, as I adore them. They were slightly creamy inside and toasty brown crunchy outside. A toasted onion bagel with a hint of poppy seeds was the real deal and included a small round of cream cheese topped with chives. The Cobb salad ($14.50) is large enough to share. It is not a composed version, rather a large bowl of tossed ingredients including romaine lettuce, kale, turkey, bacon, avocado and blue cheese tossed in a red wine vinaigrette. I asked our waiter for some made-from-scratch blue cheese dressing. The ALT ($9.75) is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city. It is prepared with ripe avocado, lettuce, red ripe tomato and mozzarella served on multi-grain toast. It comes with a pile of hot shoestring french fries. They are not as thin as the fries served at The Continental, another Starr establishment, but they fill the bill nicely.

=e\S`a 2SPPg O\R 4S``g BOYWZW I have often written that The Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den serves one of the best burgers in South Philly, and I still enjoy them. Jones offers a cheeseburger ($12.50) with a choice of cheese and caramelized onions. It is prepared with Angus beef and arrives to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liking. The aforementioned fries come with the burger. Some delis offer a brisket sandwich. It is usually made with thinly-sliced beef and can be served hot or cold. Jones offers one ($13.75) made a little differently. The seasoned tender brisket is cut into chunks and piled onto a not-on-the-sweet-side seeded brioche bun. I also liked the sauce, as it added juice and flavor to the beef. Fries and homemade coleslaw are the perfect side dishes for brisket. The potato pancakes ($7.50) tasted like they came from momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen. Like the tater tots, they are homemade. Grated potatoes are mixed with a bit of onion, formed into latkes and fried crisp in oil to a golden brown. Sour cream and applesauce simply make them better. Service is first-rate. On my visits, Jones was doing brisk business. Still, we never had to wait long, and coffee mugs were filled throughout lunch and brunch. Jones serves American fare at its best. Simple dishes prepared with fresh ingredients have been its hallmark for a number of years. For evening outings, Jones serves Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings year-round, and it is downright delicious. Four tips of the toque to Jones. +(*

et to celebrate their second wedding anniversary in November, Ferry and Debby Takili cannot really consider themselves newlyweds, but the two have maintained a steady relationship with novelty in another sense. As the owners of Lilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Java Philly, 1739 W. Ritner St., they have come to complement the overseers of neighboring Sky Cafe as over-the-moon offerers of Indonesian cuisine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not too many people know about our food, so we wanted to give them something different,â&#x20AC;? Ferry Takili said of operations at the Girard Estate eatery that he and his spouse opened in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting and scary all at the same time to be taking this step.â&#x20AC;? The residents of 19th Street and Snyder Avenue secured the space last summer and intended to team with the groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother to helm the site. When the matriarch moved to Los Angeles, the West Passyunk inhabitants valiantly proceeded with their venture and have triumphed through increasing traffic, particularly because their selections acknowledge not only their homeland but also influences from Chinese, Dutch, French and Indian culinary endeavors. With respect to delicacies from their Southeast Asian turf, the partners specialize in East Javanese style, which the husband noted consists of sweet and spicy elements. Eager to ingratiate their foreign flavors with local taste buds, they elected to share their recipe for Gado-gado. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people request it and talk about how good it is,â&#x20AC;? Debby Takili, the locationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chef, said of the vegetable-centric goodie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for vegetarians, too.â&#x20AC;?

Eleanor M. Argentiero Marchegiano Born February 1, 1926, passed away June 9, 2015, re-joining her loving husband, Armando â&#x20AC;&#x153;Montyâ&#x20AC;? A. Marchegiano, and her brother, Vincent James Argentiero, Jr.. Eleanor attended Vare Elementary School, graduated from South Philadelphia High School in 1945, worked at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard until just before the birth of her ďŹ rst child in 1948, and later was a Dress-Fitter until retiring from John Wanamakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tribout Shop. Her favorite pastimes were cooking, sewing, gardening, talking to friends and family on the phone, listening to favorite music, watching a variety of programs on television, and shopping for bargains. She enjoyed daytime reading on her back porch, sitting â&#x20AC;&#x153;out frontâ&#x20AC;? talking with neighbors, and weekly card games with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the girlsâ&#x20AC;?, when she often served her own baked goodies or had them taste her latest â&#x20AC;&#x153;experiment.â&#x20AC;? Saint Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parishioner since 1949, she is survived by her offspring Marianne LaBrecque, Evelyn Smith, Michael and wife Marianne, Lorraine Fioravanti, grandson Andrew Marchegiano, sister Angelina Pepa, and many nephews, nieces and cousins, all who already miss her giggle and warm smile. The family wishes to express their special thank you to the staffs of Methodist Hospital and Hospice, Philadelphia Ambulance and St. Monica Manor, and to the many home-health caregivers who so diligently provided much needed assistance to Eleanor over the last few years.

at the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both unforgettable, just timeless memories,â&#x20AC;? DiFrancesco said of the triumphs to which he contributed as a linebacker and a fullback, tallying a 19-yard catch in the latter role versus their West Passyunk-situ-
ated adversary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d worked so hard for finally came our way.â&#x20AC;? The locals capped what would become a 9-5 slate by earning a state playoff destruction of Springfield (Montco) at the super site, with the entire campaign of success leading numerous players, including DiFrancesco as a double First-Team honoree, to receive league kudos. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Wi t h t h e guys who will be coming

back and the experience theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if they did it again,â&#x20AC;? the proud alumnus, who also claimed First-Team AA All-State merit, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy that I was able to be a part of something so great. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for new challenges.â&#x20AC;? THOUGH FOOTBALL HAS become the fostering force behind his athletic maturation, it once had competition from other sports, including baseball, which he tagged as a beloved pastime through his days at St.
Richard School, now St. Pio Regional Catholic School, 1826 Pollock St., and basketball, which he considered a slam dunk of an obsession until his junior year. Following participation in touch leagues, he transitioned to tackle football through involvement with the St. Monica School unit and excelled as a multi-position presence, with the culmination of his elementary school years, much like the end of his secondary school stretch, infusing him with additional fascination for the unknown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to step it up,â&#x20AC;? he said of enrolling at Neumann-Goretti, which united him with brother Chris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came in with a new coaching staff, and everyone was committed to fielding a great team. When I look back, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to feel so happy that we made so many people so proud of us.â&#x20AC;? DiFrancesco also heightened his own sense of satisfaction through his academic diligence, with one date with the ACT and four brushes with the SAT further proving his allegiance to being a wellrounded young man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing is really that intimidating because I know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m capable of,â&#x20AC;? he said of beginning this phase of his life, which will include distinction as a criminal justice major. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know there will be come battles, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of growing up.â&#x20AC;? With a clearly defined team goal, DiFrancesco added that he has a personal passion, too, namely to earn a starting role, with thoughts of facing off against the Penn State University Nittany Lions especially desired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel pretty prepared,â&#x20AC;? he said of handling the novelty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m staying on top of my strength and conditioning, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a plus as I make the adjustments.â&#x20AC;?

ichael DiFrancesco has never had any hangups in holding himself to high standards to acquire what he wants, be it an academic goal or an athletic pursuit. Always physically blessed, the 18-year-old has become a studious standout, too, with his combined talents helping him to gain acceptance into Temple University, where, as a preferred walk-on for the football team, he will look for collegiate success to rival that of his high school prowess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eager for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come,â&#x20AC;? the resident of Broad and Pollock streets and recent graduate of Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., said of his North Broad Street-based odyssey, which he commenced Monday through a summer class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially with the football team, I have a few dream scenarios, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited.â&#x20AC;? Distinction as a preferred walk-on means the Marconi inhabitant will not head to the squad as a scholarship recipient, but he loves the idea of applying his skills so as to achieve that title by his junior year. He found Temple, which bested suitors such as Bloomsburg University and the University of Pittsburgh, appealing partly because of its proximity to home but also because of its pigskin programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing stature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to fit in really well,â&#x20AC;? the fitness fanatic said of bolstering his body for the rigors of Division I action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good group of guys, especially among the linebackers, so I want to contribute and help us to win the [American Athletic] conference championship. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge aspiration I have.â&#x20AC;? If he can aid the Owls in landing that crown, he will continue to count himself as a member of a laudable club, with his senior season at his East Passyunk Crossing-based alma mater having initiated a cherished tenure as a victor. The Saints walloped West Catholic 34-12 in Nov. 8â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic League AA final, halting the
Burrsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 52-game winning streak against parochial opposition and endowing their institution with its first gridiron plaque in 60 years. They granted backers another four quarters of joy a week later by d ow n i n g P r e p Charter, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., 12-6 for the City AA championship
