n the waning days of October, Philadelphia got great news with the announcement of federal funding awarded to three projects via Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant money from the Department of Transportation. Two complete streets projects will save dilapidated streets (American Street in Kensington and pedestrian improvements in North Philly near the Munoz-Marin Luis Elementary School), but the exciting South Philly news is that the Grays Ferry swing bridge, in the Schuylkill River, will now become part of a
growing interconnected cycling trail throughout the nine-county region. With $3.265 million from the total of $10.265 million, the Schuylkill River Development Corp. can move forward with a plan thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the works for years to connect Grays Ferry to Bartramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden in Southwest Philly by way of a well-designed, safe and state-of-the-art pedestrian bridge. TIGER grant moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to come by, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting development that the DOT is awarding money to pedestrian and cycling trails. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Economic Recovery part of
the grant thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noteworthy: clean, modern and well-built trails are good business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea primarily is to get people working. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an economic development initiative, but it has to be transportation, and trails qualify,â&#x20AC;? Joseph Syrnick, president and executive director of the Schuylkill River Development Corporation (SRDC) said. The SRDC is the lead non-profit behind the swing bridge project but had to go through the Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Transportation (MOTU) for these moneys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; municipal entities are eligible for TIGER funding.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is huge to get,â&#x20AC;? Syrnick added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TIGER grants are typically large amounts of money and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hard to get.â&#x20AC;? All told, the project will cost approximately $13 to $14 million, and the SRDC had already raised nearly $10 million. It has worked in concert with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Parks & Recreation (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very generous to us and all the other trails people in the Delaware Valley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a big supporter of trails,â&#x20AC;? says Syrnick); the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; the Department ASS 0@7257<5 ^OUS ,,

To the Readers: I attended Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veterans Day Parade and while holding my four-year-old son at Broad and Walnut streets as defenders of our freedom marched before us, I gladly succumbed to my emotions and started to cry. I have always admired the selfless example that our service personnel have shown, and I never forget the fact that freedom often comes only through making the greatest sacrifice. My grandfather, Charles Comstock, served in the Korean War, and, thanks be to God, he went on to lead a fruitful life that included the birth of my mother,
Donna, in 1956. Pop and I were always close, and I greatly admired him for his service to our country, especially because we live in an era where many people love to rail against anyone who believes that stopping evil actually involves more than wishing it would go away. No, I am not in favor of violence and always yearn for simple solutions, and I am sure that veterans wish we could live in a completely safe world, too. Because we do not, we need their dedication to our homeland and devotion to our identity as citizens of the United States of America. No matter a veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station, branch, or duration in
the service, we owe absolute and tireless respect, which I contend is the easiest sacrifice to make. 8]aS^V ;gS`a A]cbV >VWZZg @SdWSe SRWb]`

To the Editor: Surprise? Poor voter turnout? So just what had you been expecting? It is pretty standard when you look back at a $10,000 reward just for voting. That has to be the epitome of stupidity and the setting of some sort of idiocy. Who thinks of these things, I wonder? Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we pass a law making voting mandatory or instead of a midweek one Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion B y Ti n a G a r c e a u day election, why not a two-day one consisting of a Saturday and a Sunday when more people are at home and are free to vote? How about teaching the sacredness and necessity of casting a vote to all school children so it becomes deeply ingrained? Instead of making it so difficult, why not make it as savvy and simple as possible? And having sufficient volunteers saturate neighborhoods the day before and on election day to get out of the vote? It may be a lot more expensive but nowhere as expensive as an ongoing setup that yields a low turnout. Look at the huge amount of money spent by all candidates and their respective parties, with no attention given to the importance of the continuing dismal results? Speaking of penny wise and pound foolish, why do they keep overlooking factors as important as voter apathy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lower the turnout, the fewer votes are when addressing just what came out of B/>>7<5 B637@ @3A=C@13A( 6OebV]`\Sa 0SS` 1OTS %!& A bV Ab VSZR Wba an election.

He continues to create the most terrific columns, getting so many great comments on the wide variety of subjects that we deal with in this life. He is straightforward in his writings and always brings a laugh and a smile to me, as I am sure he does to all the readers who love his work. You are one strong soul, Mr. Cardella, and I salute you.

t 12:55 p.m. Sunday, officers met with a United States Postal Service employee on the 2300 block of South Colorado Street and learned that while she was parking her vehicle, an unknown figure entered the truck and attempted to pull off with it, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He also supposedly tried to take her phone before exiting but failed in that endeavor. Two colleagues arrived on the scene and called authorities upon learning of the matter. Police stopped Taishane Stewart on the 2400 block of South Sheridan Street and arrested him after positive identification from the complainant. They charged the 34-yearold with robbery, simple assault, and recklessly endangering another person. He had not posted his $100,000 bail as of press time and awaits a Nov. 24 preliminary hearing.

Police ventured to the parking lot at Target, 1 Mifflin St., Monday at 11:03 a.m. and met with the victim who had been standing outside his vehicle when a stranger approached him and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get into the car,â&#x20AC;?

EVS`S¸a bVS aS\aSAuthorities released the image of a man sought for a Girard Estate-based attempted robbery. As first reported in the Nov. 5 South Philly Review as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheap antics,â&#x20AC;? an employee of Family Dollar, 2201 Oregon Ave., heard the front door of the establishment open at 8:49 p.m. Nov. 1 and started to look up and down the aisles for the potential shopper when she spotted a male tying a bandana around his face. When she said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse me, sir,â&#x20AC;? the figure pulled up his hood, took out a black handgun and started toward her, leading the worker to run out the front door despite his warning that he would shoot her. The victim escaped injury-free and reported that the offender removed nothing. Call South Detectives Det.

Ac^S` a]``]e Two offenders assaulted a business owner and forced his wife to give them cash in Point Breeze. At 11:10 p.m. Friday, police responded to a pointof-gun robbery call from Super Kitchen Chinese Restaurant, 1415 S. Ninth St., and learned the owner had opened the rear door to take out the trash when the unknown figures pushed him back and made their way through the door, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They knocked him to the ground by striking him in the back and shoulder with a gun, and the secondary criminal punched his spouse in the head and eye. The accomplice also had the woman give him money from the register, and the thieves fled in an unknown direction. The chief complainant, whose wife received transport to Methodist Hospital for treatment of head pain and a large lump on the right side of her face, described the attackers as black, with both being 20 to 30 years old and wearing black hoodies. He tabbed the first as also wearing grey or blue jeans; having a beard; and toting a gun; and the second as having a short beard; and wearing blue jeans.

7) Attendance at St. John Neumann High School: My freshman year of high school was the initiation of open enrollment, allowing me to go to whatever Archdiocesan secondary institution that I desired. St. John Neumann won out over West Catholic, and 18 years after my graduation, I still consider myself incredibly fortunate to have ventured to 26th and Moore streets for the primary chunk of my adolescence. 6) Writing composition: I wrote some stuff of which I am proud when growing up in Southwest Philly, but increased maturity and ample interactions with South Philadelphians have given me two lifetimesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of ideas. 5) My initial time at the National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia: Following my 2001 graduation from college, life seemed incredibly confusing, especially since I could not even sniff a job. My mother, remembering how much she enjoyed venturing to the shrine as a child and young adult, suggested that I attend services at the beautiful location. Fourteen years later, and I am still hooked. 4) Purchase of my home: In 2006, I became the owner of a South Philly rowhome and have enjoyed an assortment of crazy, creative, and compassionate neighbors every day since. 3) My stint at the South Philly Review: I began here as a 29-year-old graduate school intern and have gone on to serve as a freelancer, staff writer, managing editor, and editor. I love telling your stories and hope I have done all of you justice in conveying what makes you tick. 2) My wedding at the National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia: Who would have thought that the house of worship that I trekked to when having no direction in my life would yield me a wife? Mere mortals should not really ask such questions! 1) The observation of my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maturation: Yes, I talk about my son a ton in this publication. Throw a coup to oust me if you must! The last four years and five months have given me the greatest joy, with each interaction with my little guy inspiring relentless appreciation for God and my lot in life. South Philly, you have been kind to me. Thank you. SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

My greatest meals, hands down, have come from and within local establishments. 9) Attendance at sporting events: I have been a huge sports fan since 1989 and leap at any opportunity to cover professional and amateur endeavors in South Philly. Frankly, I would say I enjoy the latter efforts far more because maybe, just maybe, a few of those performers will end up playing for some of our professional squads and unite us all on South Broad Street. How I pine for titles! 8) My own athletic feats: If I were a truly gifted athlete, I would be contributing money to this paper rather than earning dough writing for it, but I have had my moments shooting hoops, hitting baseballs and smacking one-handed backhands. Maybe my true calling is football. I hear the Eagles could use some secondhalf help.

said. And added that those ideas, from the general public, are just as important: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pay taxes. They live and work in the city. Their ideas and their issues are included in our final reports.â&#x20AC;? One questioner started by addressing Kenney as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Mayor,â&#x20AC;? and he jokingly whispered â&#x20AC;&#x153;not yetâ&#x20AC;? as she went on. He was asked about his relationship with City Council president Darryl Clarke, the Democratic National Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conventionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impending arrival, diversity in City Hall and his inauguration. On the last note, he said it will probably be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;community-oriented block party style affair with an element of raising money for schools. I doubt itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a black-tie ball â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little more proletarian than that.â&#x20AC;? THERE ARE 11 categories outside of the Transition Team leadership and Steering Committee: Education; Commerce and Development; Public Safety; City Administration Services; Community, Culture, and Recreation; Environment and Sustainability; Housing, Planning, and Development; Human Services; Immigrant and Multicultural Affairs; Infrastructure and Transportation; and DNC Preparation. South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., principal Otis Hackney is the co-chair of the Education committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met Jim when I became principal,â&#x20AC;? he noted. Hackney said, early on over lunch, that
Kenney believed in the work heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go on to do at the Lower Moyamensing institution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Otis, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to turn some things aroundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a great relationship ever since. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been supportive of the school,â&#x20AC;? Hackney relayed. What does it mean for Hackney to be leading the committee with Anne Gemmell? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot less sleep. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be having two jobs,â&#x20AC;? he joked, but also said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;an opportunity to pull people from different sectors around education to meet the goals that Jim has outlined with pre-K and community schools.â&#x20AC;? As for public versus charter schools, Hackney says Jim believes â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a space for both.â&#x20AC;? On funding, the principal said â&#x20AC;&#x153;you have to make sure your voice is heard in Harrisburg. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of only three states, I believe, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a fair funding formula, and why is that the case? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to do a lot of lobbying and organizing around that point and topic so we can get the resources that we need for students in the city.â&#x20AC;? Andy Toy has been involved in the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Coalition (SEAMAAC) for years now, even before he ran against Kenney for City Council in 2011. The organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home office at 1711 S. Broad St., where Toy serves as the Development and Communications Manager, just opened a new office at 2110 S. Eighth St. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll serve on Kenneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commerce and Development team.

s predicted, the mayoral election that transpired November 3 yielded no surprises â&#x20AC;&#x201C; South Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Jim Kenney is the 125th mayor-elect of Philadelphia. After approximately 25 years on City Council, the Pennsport native announced his intent to run this past January and, last week, easily defeated GOP candidate Melissa Murray Bailey with 85 percent of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s votes. He assumes office January 4, 2016. This week he and his team announced a transition team that will guide the soonto-be mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definition of his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals, foci and policies. More than 100 names appeared in a dozen categories, including a steering committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These groups will be focused on ensuring objectivity, community involvement, diversity and excellence in the Kenney Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies and personnel,â&#x20AC;? according to a press release. On Friday, at the University of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Science Center, Kenney answered questions from the press and introduced a few key members of his transition team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know what they have to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; provide a robust and intense report on the direction of the administration,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters. A generous smattering of South Philadelphians will be a part of the process, with at least a dozen names on the list who either live or do great work south of South Street. Transition Committee co-chair Alba Martinez spoke highly of Kenney and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is about one thing and one thing only, which is to get the best and brightest people that want to come into government or work with government to rally around a mission to help neighborhoods and families thrive.â&#x20AC;? She lauded the future mayor as â&#x20AC;&#x153;collaborative and team-orientedâ&#x20AC;? and added â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been so amazed at his deep commitment to include others in his thinking, and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recipe for success.â&#x20AC;? Kenney will also welcome public feedback via his website and townhall meetings that will take place around the city, including South Philly, in the coming months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My expectation is that the ideas that come over from the site and from town meetings will be disseminated to the committees,â&#x20AC;? he
At the Science Center, Toy said his team would focus on â&#x20AC;&#x153;the port,â&#x20AC;? referring to the Philadelphia Region Port Authority in Port Richmond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The port is a lot of potential jobs. People can make a living without a higher education. Those are the kinds of jobs we want to continue to grow,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the administration will also focus on commercial corridors and referenced the local Seventh Street commercial corridor thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ripe with Asian businesses. Co-chairing the Community, Culture, and Recreation committee is Beth Devine, a former Lafayette College basketball and softball student athlete who started a nonprofit called Philly Girls Got Game that now thrives in South Philadelphia. Guerin Rec Center, 2101 S. 16th St., Edward Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., St. Thomas Aquinas, 1719 Morris St., and Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., all house some form of Devineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programming. Kenneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason she strayed from a for-profit basketball program for girls to a non-profit based in South Philly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where did gym class go? We used to have it regularly,â&#x20AC;? she asked and added that the Common Core curriculum pushed so much of any studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day towards math and humanities but that bodies learn best when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re active. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-known that if you move a kid physically, you can move a kid intellectually and emotionally, and standing around on their smartphones at recess ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at programming that can connect schools that need physical education support with rec centers that can offer afterschool care and programming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are our services working to get kids engaged after school? Are we using rec centers effectively?â&#x20AC;? she asked. She said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at how school clusters might benefit from official relationships with rec centers. And also that Kenneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so good for this city because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so practical,â&#x20AC;? Devine opined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fluff and he know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real and he wants to bring the right people forward. He really does want whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for everybody.â&#x20AC;? SPR

As evidenced by growing interest in the Schuylkill River trail and the Delaware River Waterfront, both from a national tourism and local real estate perspective, trails are good for business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly with trails, we think of them as recreation, we think of them as healthy living, which they are. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re environmental, they help stormwater runoff. People want to live near trails,â&#x20AC;? Syrnick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings people people back into the city, emptynesters, it keeps Millennials from moving out to Washington to work for Bill Gates. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often couched as recreation, but in fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying off economically.â&#x20AC;? In the years to come, nearly 750 miles of trails will connect seamlessly from the Poconos to Northeast Philly. The challenge is closing in all the gaps. Currently, one of the only connectors from Grays Ferry to West and Southwest Philly is the Grays Ferry Bridge, which is less than ideal. The Schuylkill Trail got closer to South Philly with the completion of its recent boardwalk that meets South Street on the South Street Bridge. And construction is currently underway connecting Christian Street to the South Street trail. The conversion of the swing bridge, linking Grays Ferry to another in-progress Bartramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Trail, will give Grays Ferry much greater access to the trail network and to the iconic botanical garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This all works perfectly together,â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much of a climb, either, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much gentler slope which makes it easier for people to use. The whole idea of connecting Bartramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden to the city, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge. This will be a game-changer for them as people discover them.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The swing bridge is emblematic of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about when looking for projects that would close gaps and literally bridge parts of the city,â&#x20AC;?

G
ina Rucci, the co-owner of Popiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian Restaurant, 3120 S. 20th St., is being lauded as a Stormwater Pioneer by the Philadelphia Water department. Lakash Constructors, Wilkinson & Associates and Ruppert Landscape will be celebrated as well, for their work on the site of Popiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot. The Stormwater Pioneers program, which began in 2014, recognizes excellence in stormwater management on private properties. Conceding private property for the purposes of preserving the health and cleanliness of Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivers and streams, Rucci is being awarded with a Stormwater Pioneers Award Ceremony 10:30 a.m. Nov. 17 at the site (rain or shine). Converting asphalt and gravel real estate into porous surfaces and green rain gardens is one crucial way that surges during storms can be captured for eventual filtering. Stormwater management prevents unfiltered, untreated water from dumping into the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s river system during rainstorms and heavy snows. On Tuesday, public officials will be present for the unveiling of a Stormwater Pioneers Building Plaque and the awarding of Pioneers certificates.

A former Passyunk Square dweller’s dance theater take on a silent film considers the consequences of capitalism. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Editor
M
illions yearn to make millions, but how many people truly ponder the peril that excessive love for capitalism can cause? Anna Frangiosa has long counted herself among those who rebel against regarding the possession of money as a major motivator for enjoying life and is looking to check opinions on currency’s control by directing “Metropolis: A Sci-fi Tale of Sex, Love, a Robot, and a Revolution.” “I can’t escape giving attention to the pressure that obsessive pursuits of dollars do to individuals,” the 39-yearold overseer said of seeking to channel her societal awareness through a dance interpretation of Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent film “Metropolis.” “Sure, we need money to survive, but why do we have to fall prey to harming others just to have few more bucks in the bank?”
The ex-Passyunk Square denizen is addressing that inquiry and others through Plays & Players Theatre, which Saturday and Sunday will present the offering from the Cabaret Administration, her two-year-old brainchild. With a burgeoning reputation for crafting burlesque reimaginings of popular 18th-century narratives, the entity has adjusted its approach in finding material to contemporize, but no matter an inspirational piece’s origins, Frangiosa and her peers always infuse their adaptations with engrossing messages, particularly when the present closely resembles the past. “This is a classic story,” the director said of Lang’s futuristic tale of the disparity between the rich and the poor and the painstaking measures to quell the quandary, with South Philly inhabitant Gemini Rose portraying Maria, the chief opponent of the status quo. “For me, it really helps to further my philosophy that while burlesque can be only about what’s pretty, it’s best when it tackles P O RT R A I T P H OTO B Y T I N A G A R C E A U | PRODUCTION PHOTOS BY NATHAN KURUNA
what’s provocative, too.” Having seen “Metropolis” while a registrant at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Frangiosa, also responsible for the administration’s design and costume components for the two-evening treatment, admires its overt warnings concerning the subjugation of large groups for the profit of a few figures. She also noted that if more people deliberated on the ambition of the powers that be, they would realize they need to fashion greater senses of their possibilities and not see every dream as being dependent on what they earn or on what corporate behemoths say they should have. “There’s so much out there that encourages us not to think,” she lamented. “I think that sort of stuff gives certain people ample ammunition to exert control over who we are. There’s enough negativity in the world as is, and you can’t yield to the onslaught of bad news nor can you beat yourself up if you’re struggling. Think about

“You don’t have to be a whiz to address social concerns,” Frangiosa, whose current pet project, CAP Comcast, seeks to encourage the corporation to contribute more to communities, and who demonstrated four years ago as part of the Occupy Philly movement, said of her fluid definition of activism. “Many people claim not to know enough to subject themselves to discussions on how to improve life; that’s a crutch. Becoming informed is a key to growing.” As a costumer, director, performer, puppeteer, and writer, she never lacks for opportunities to apply her mentality to contemplative undertakings and hopes for many more chances to offer works that forsake timidity and engender activity. “I feel I’m in a bubble with people who are attentive,” Frangiosa, who will also have stand-up comedy work in the near future, said of what keeps her sharp and involved. “I want to see more people enter that realm.” SPR Visit cabaretadministration.com.

FRANGIOSA HAS ALWAYS been able to call on humility to help her to understand her role in the complex cosmos. Hailing from Lower Merion, she found herself drawn to creative expression through her parents and quickly learned that being dogmatic could doom the likelihood of having some sort of voice to pursue any endeavor. “I never felt terribly pressured to choose a distinct path,” she said of honing an adolescent interest in the theater. “I guess there was this belief that something would work out for me.” She headed to New York to obtain an associate’s degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology and decided to intensify her comprehension of the world’s workings by studying anthropology at Temple University. As she neared the end of her matriculation at the latter, she initiated her navigation of burlesque through the Peeka-Boo Revue, spending seven years with the troupe. She eventually answered the constant post-college question of “What’s
helmed until 2005. “While it was great on many levels to have my own business, parts of it didn’t sit well with me,” Frangiosa said. “When I closed, concentrating on performance became my life, and a decade later, I’m still enthused about taking chances and thinking about how to entertain and educate simultaneously.” Both desires came to fruition from ’08 to ’11 through co-founder and co-director duties for Cabaret Red Light, with ’09 also yielding her founding of the Philadelphia School of Burlesque. Audiences adored Cabaret Red Light’s output, which also included the talents of 2015 South Philly Review Readers’ Choice top performer winner Christine Fisler, so when the luster dimmed on the individuals’ projects due to creative differences, Frangiosa determined to keep promoting the benefits of quality burlesque, with the administration the result of her diligence. She and her allies have again won receptivity for their ornate, polished pieces, including their inaugural year’s “Free. Think. Love. Frankenstein.,” and have consistently courted patrons who appreciate their blend of physical labors and mental fortitude.

ncle Nunzio has taken to calling me â&#x20AC;&#x153;Foggy.â&#x20AC;? I hate to blame all of my shortcomings on chemo - actually, no ,I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like the Republican candidates for president who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to whine about if the media cuddles up to them. Without chemo, I have no default excuses to fall back upon. I try to tell Uncle there is such a thing as â&#x20AC;&#x153;chemo fogâ&#x20AC;? to explain why I stumble a bit or walk past the mailbox with a stamped envelope in my hand. He reminds me I was no LeBron James before I began chemo. I am surprised that he has heard of the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar. He is surprised that I can recall James in my state. Frankly, I am worried about the foggy future of the Republican Party. After the alienation of Latinos, African-Americans, and a good number of women voters, Republicansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most dependable source of votes are middleaged white males. Now comes a report from the Washington Post that there has been a startling increase in the death rate for white middle-aged Americans 45-54. To understand the seriousness of this fact, note the only time in recent years that a large demographic suffered an increase in its mortality rate came among the Russians after the demise of the Soviet Union. Without life under a despot, what reason is there to survive? And then Vladimir Putin came along. Before you point out that the increase in the mortality rate applies to both sexes, my feeling, not based on any statistical fact, is that wives of white middle-aged white men either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote or mostly vote Republican. Either that or they become ex-wives of white middle-aged Republicans. I am waiting breathlessly for the outcome of personal negotiations between Donald Trump and the networks concerning the televising of the remaining Republican debates. I figure if he is successful in keeping the debates to two hours in a temperature-controlled climate, that surely enhances his credibility to negotiate with Putin or, at least, Mila Kunis. The Democrats residing in Foggy Bottom also have their concerns. Their president has crossed them up. Instead of drawing down troops in time for the elections, Barack Obama has announced he is sending 50 Special Forces troops into Syria to turn the tide. The White House refuses to consider this a violation of their no boots-on-the-ground pledge. Maybe the 50 Special Forces troops will not be allowed to wear boots. In fact,
Why Pay Hundreds to Clean Carpets when You Can Have Brand New, Professionally Installed Carpets for Less?
N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [ they are the first combat troops to test lowquarter shoes (required to be spit polished) in action. Republicans complain, saying, what are 50 more troops going to accomplish? They should ask Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders, who is in high dudgeon about the troop increase (has Bernie ever been in low dudgeon?) This is the well-known â&#x20AC;&#x153;slippery slopeâ&#x20AC;? argument. First, you send 50 troops, then 50 more, and finally you wind up with the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon as President. If you want to give liberals indigestion, just mention Nixon is the one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little foggy about Marco Rubio. Yes, he is handsome and youthful, and is more intelligent than Trump, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that kind of a low bar? Word has it that Rubio wants to be President because he hates being in the Senate. If his seat is next to that of Ted Cruz, I can understand why. Many Americans, however, hate their job, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wind up running as a Republican candidate for president (although if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wrong, it would explain why so many Republicans ARE running for president). Rubio got gobs of plaudits for his performance at the Oct. 28 Republican debate when he rebuked Jeb Bush. Is rebuking Jeb Bush very difficult these days? Rubio claims Hillary Clinton lied during the Benghazi hearings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to figure out how â&#x20AC;&#x153;lyingâ&#x20AC;? about Benghazi and her e-mails warrants 32 public and private hearings while lying to justify getting into the Iraq War has been all but forgotten. Republicans act as if George W. Bush was never president. I heard a rumor theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve eliminated â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;? from their alphabet. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so sure about the media being all that liberal. The NY Times and one of its top columnists, Maureen Dowd, are seemingly on a personal crusade against the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. The mainstream media is as boring and impartial as ever. Fox News continues to be a more effective arm of the Republican Party than MSNBC is to the Democrats. Radio talk shows are dominated by right wing icons such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham. The problem with Republicans is that they are a minority party that indulges its extremists who resist any attempt to expand the appeal of their party. Too many of the Republicans on the debate stage ignore that reality and take comfort that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being picked on. Some of the more cynical candidates believe they can intimidate the media into rolling over for them. Ironically, Trump and Ben Carson, the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading candidates in the national polls, are the worst offenders. I ask Uncle to take a walk with me. In minutes, my chemo fog lifts and my balance is restored. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as easy to escape the fog of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s politics. Eliminating tough questions wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eliminate the fog; the truth will. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

;WZR`SR¸a 5`ObSR AeSSb >]bOb] >cRRW\U ooking for a new dessert that will spice up your Thanksgiving meals? What about combining a sweet potato and pudding mixture together into one? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Mildred Lloyd-Henderson did with her Grated Sweet Potato recipe. This delight serves six to eight people, which is a great tally when considering what to offer at a family gathering this holiday season. The resident of the 2400 block of Manton Street places a toothpick into the mixture while it is in the oven to make sure the creamy pudding is smooth throughout the dish. Once she removes it from the oven, the Point Breeze inhabitant waits only a few minutes before serving it warm. And whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even better is that she tops it off with ice cream to make it more delectable. SPR

tartar sauce with preserved lemons, a hallmark of Moroccan cuisine. I easily could have eaten a dozen of them. Swordfish ($28) can be tricky. It is often cooked to a dried dust. Lachman grills it with lemon and olive oil, so it remained moist and flavorful. The sauce speaks of the Mediterranean. He prepared it with crushed and whole pistachio nuts, raisins, a bit of cherry tomatoes and garlic and served it on a bed of flageolet beans. These legumes are classically served with leg of lamb in France, but since swordfish has a meaty texture, it was a fine foil for the hearty beans. Tagines are clay cooking vessels used in Moroccan cuisine. Sometimes the pots are composed of metal. Lachman uses the latter. His leg of goat ($27) was braised with sweet potatoes, dried apricots, nuts, and roasted vegetables served in a spicy tomato broth. This dish was, indeed, Morocco in a bowl. There are a number of wines by the bottle and by the glass. Many are from Languedoc, the region of Southwest France where lamb is often king of the table. A Pinot Noir ($12) and a white blend from the region ($12) were perfect complements for the goat and swordfish. French press coffee for two ($10) was rich and strong but not overbearingly so. Desserts are tempting. I have not seen Paris-Brest ($10) on a menu in many years. It is a classic French sweet made with pâte Ă choux, which is light cream puff pastry, formed into a ring and filled with whipped cream. Sometimes the pastry is filled with pastry cream. This dessert serves two to three. Lachman made his name with Noord, his Northern European restaurant on East Passyunk Avenue. He blended the foods of Belgium with those of the Netherlands. Now he has turned his tasty creativity to another part of the world, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a winner. Four tips of the toque to Neuf. SPR

ason Cichonski happily tabs himself an impressionable individual, with his receptivity to sage advice helping to make him one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prominent food preparers. Thanks to his culinary curiosity, the 31-year-old accepted a pitch from The Cordish Companies to develop a high-energy venue within Xfinity Live!, 1100 Pattison Ave., and recently reached the one-month mark as the executive chef at 1100 Social. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wanted to evolve and offer something more culinary-driven, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful they thought of me,â&#x20AC;? the resident of the 1200 block of Annin Street said within the thriving space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The partnership has worked well, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eager to see what the future will hold.â&#x20AC;? The Sports Complex-situated establishment finds the Passyunk Square dweller offering plates with Mexican and Asian influences. Noting that foods from those cultures contain overlapping flavor profiles, he enjoys presenting items with which patrons are highly familiar and encouraging the sharing of the contents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The atmosphere is quite lively, and our name gives away that we want people to feel at ease when coming here,â&#x20AC;? Cichonski, who also helms Ela, 627 S. Third St., and The Gaslight, said of the gregarious goings-on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My support system and resources have been amazing, and that makes me even more enthused to welcome people here.â&#x20AC;?

the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College alumnus revealed that he has a less conservative approach at 1100 Social as compared with his mentality when within his other locations. That appreciated sense of freedom has proven a motivator in crafting his 28-item-strong menu and has resulted in fruitful relationships with his staff, including chef de cuisine Jasper Alivia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around people who share your consideration not only for making great food but also creating a comforting environment, your job becomes so much easier,â&#x20AC;? Cichonski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been true for me since we opened.â&#x20AC;? Along with stellar interactions with his peers, the former Bravo TV â&#x20AC;&#x153;Top Chefâ&#x20AC;? contestant has developed solid connections with his customers, with their mutual enthusiasm for the Mariachi Dragon Club Guacamole leading him to share his recipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The name is a bit odd, I know, but aside from that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that I genuinely love and that our guests compliment us on,â&#x20AC;? Cichonski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flavors make great sense together, and each bite evolves and changes as you eat it.â&#x20AC;? In preparing to open 1100 Social, the revered creator made the dip a daily part of his diet and confessed to having placed calls to Alivia to make it for him while he tended to matters at Ela. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely craveable,â&#x20AC;? Cichonski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those who want to make it at home, feel free to experiment by adding whatever elements you feel will accent the flavors.â&#x20AC;? 0ZOQY b`cTĂ&#x20AC; S Q`S[O A]c` Q`SO[ AOZb b] bOabS

learned everything I know about the cuisine of Morocco from my friend Esther Press McManus. She was born in Marrakech and traced her Sephardic Jewish family back to the Inquisition. By the time Esther came to Philadelphia, she quickly became known as one fine home cook. She taught Georges Perrier how to make pasta and hosted a Moroccan feast in honor of Julia Child at her then-Rittenhouse Square home, where I was honored to be among the guests. When Chef Joncarl Lachman told me he was going to open a French/Moroccan restaurant in the Italian Market, I counted the months until the opening. He christened his establishment Neuf, which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;nineâ&#x20AC;? in French. The space was gutted and turned into an elegant yet casual place with highly polished wood floors, table with cloth runners and several chandeliers that provide adequate lighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wanted a restaurant with chandeliers,â&#x20AC;? he told me. Unlike his other location, Noord, 1046 Tasker St., Neuf has a liquor license. Specialty cocktails ($11-$13) were developed under his watchful eye. I particularly liked the Take 5 ($12), prepared with local Bluecoat gin, Campari, sweet vermouth and a hint of Arak, a strong liquor from the Middle East. Lachmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade semolina bread was warm from the oven and included a handful of slightly salty olives. The menu has two sides: France and Morocco. Lachman sometimes mixes these distinctive cuisines, and it works! He keeps the dishes simple but filled with flavor. The use of herbs and spices, particularly cinnamon and cloves, works in savory dishes. Fresh vegetables, grains, fish, lamb and goat take pride of place at the Bella Vista location. Sauteed eggplant ($11) is fused with red peppers, dried currents, salty capers, shallots, olive oil and lemon juice and topped with white anchovies. A handful of frisee also participated in this appetizer. I liked the fine contrast of flavors in this dish. Roasted cauliflower charmoule($10) was one of the most unusual dishes I have ever sampled. The cauliflower was bathed in a sauce of sweet grape puree, with a few small grapes nestled in the bottom of the stainless steel dish, and included olive oil, onions and cloves. The sweet grapes played off the savory onions, and the use of cloves, usually an American desserts component, enhanced the dish. Lachman told me he got the recipe for the grape sauce from a Tunisian Jew during his travels while researching dishes for Neuf. We traveled to France for fried oysters ($14). Lachman has created an outstanding dish in coating the oysters in bulgur and quickly deep frying them to a crisp golden brown. He makes his own

thletes are always receiving reminders that there is no â&#x20AC;&#x153;iâ&#x20AC;? in team, a point that Joe DuMond, who even lacks the scrutinized vowel in his name, will forever revere. Even though the senior football standout captured the Catholic Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AAAA Division most valuable player award Nov. 4, he has not succumbed for one second to self-aggrandizement, focusing instead on how to help St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preparatory School to maintain its status as a gridiron behemoth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An individual honor is great, but there are more important things to think about,â&#x20AC;? the 17-year-old said Tuesday from his North Philly-situated secondary institution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody here plays for those personal achievements because the focus is on how we can grow stronger as a unit.â&#x20AC;? The resident of the 200 block of Jackson Street and his peers, including fellow senior and South Philly dweller Ed Mooney, will begin defense of their reign as the two-time defending Class AAAA parochial champions tomorrow by hosting Roman Catholic. Entering the tilt at 6-2, the Hawks will continue to rely heavily on their star fullback and defensive lineman, with DuMond eager to answer their visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inquiries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to getting out there and competing again,â&#x20AC;? the Whitman denizen said of facing the Cahillites, whom coach Gabe Infanteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charges toppled 41-7 on Halloween. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what drives us all, that pursuit of excellent performances where, win or lose, we know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re striving to be better.â&#x20AC;? To ensure that they progress accordingly, he and his teammates never waver from a one-day-at-a-time approach, with DuMond confessing that they actually refrain from discussing winning and instead talk about how they are growing week to week.
8]S 2c;]\R O\R VWa $ Ab 8]aS^V¸a >`S^O`Ob]`g AQV]]Z 6OeYa PSUW\ bVSW` ^ZOg]TT aZObS b][]``]e \WUVb dS`aca @][O\ 1ObV]ZWQ P h o t o P r o v i d e d b y DA N M AC A RT N E Y
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scoreboard is a liar,â&#x20AC;? the leader said of falling prey to thinking that because one triumphs in a matchup that there are no serious matters to address. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning can actually make you regress and think too much of yourself, so we never want to think that because we have a decent record or a recent history of doing well that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re invincible. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to get us anywhere this year.â&#x20AC;? Not only are the Hawks looking for a trifecta of titles among Catholic opposition, they are also hoping to collect their third consecutive City championship and Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association state crown. The previous runs included incredible senior leadership, with Point Breezeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jawan McAllister a big boost to their 2013 success and Whitmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ed Rementer strengthening last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeat efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always liked having a voice for this team,â&#x20AC;? DuMond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of what grade Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in, I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to encourage people and be en-
couraged. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked very well for us, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to need to be even stronger since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff time.â&#x20AC;? THE TENACIOUS TEENAGER first fell for football as a fourth-grade registrant at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, formerly 2329 S. Third St. He honed his talent through the Warriors Catholic Youth Organization and knew come eighth grade that the sport would best support his athletic endeavors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played basketball, too, and baseball [for the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St.), but I just really enjoyed suiting up for football and going out to test my skills against what others had,â&#x20AC;? DuMond recollected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would be to my benefit to see what I could acquire by sticking with the game, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to do that at this school.â&#x20AC;? Attending a couple camps and watching the Hawks in action helped to inspire his matriculation to the Girard Avenue-
based facility, with the adolescent noting that he received immediate acceptance as a member of the football family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real sense of brotherhood throughout this building and especially on the field,â&#x20AC;? he opined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural when you play sports that you want to get better as a performer, but here, we also give attention to improving as people, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to me.â&#x20AC;? DuMond stressed that through Infante, he and the other roster members have increased their discipline and have sought to see very interaction as an opportunity to tackle not only their opponents but also any barriers that would seek to hinder their progress. Along with DuMond, who earned First-Team kudos on offense and defense, 15 Hawks won All-Catholic praise, including Mooney, of the 200 block of Wolf Street, who won the 2015 South Philly Review Readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice top high school athlete award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to look at, but in the end, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for way more than personal gains,â&#x20AC;? DuMond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that the focus right now has to be on facing Roman and not on who appears on the First-Team or the Second-Team list.â&#x20AC;? When taking the field, he and the Hawks pride themselves on giving maximum effort, with the commended local particularly reverent of the great tempo that they produce when hounding offenses. Their efficiency will need to be constant if they wish to go three-forthree in their championship pursuits. They lack the hubris that would foster the belief that everything will come easily to them because of their talent. DuMond, ever the humble warrior, would never allow that stance anyway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good team, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say,â&#x20AC;? he stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every team has talent, and we are looking to show ours on Friday. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not thinking beyond that game.â&#x20AC;? SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
