happening around her. “I did the monoprints of the neighborhood for a few years then I went on to other things. But for some reason I was really struck again

by what was going on in this neighborhood, which was an insane amount of development and a lot of the old buildings disappearing. Places that

I would walk by for years were being torn down. A lot of the buildings look incongruous with what I was used to.” Two years ago, Baker

curated an art exhibit featuring work by herself and a group of other Northern Liberties artists at Projects Gallery. That exhibit also featured readings by

people who had written about their experiences in the neighborhood. She then found The Com-

Jennifer Baker remembers the old Northern Liberties. A neighborsee NL EXHIBIT page 7 hood now known for bustling bars and hip boutiques was a desolate place, falling casualty to the postwar deindustrialization of the 50s. “[When I first moved into Northern Liberties] the rest of my building was empty; the rest of the block was empty,” Baker said. There were certainly pockets of residential row houses occupied but not right here. It was all empty and sometimes scary because it was deserted.” Baker, an artist and graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, moved into Northern Liberties in 1978 and has been calling it her home ever since, taking up a studio space atop a four-story building on the corner of Third and Green Streets. She has worked with a variety of media, including sculpting, drawing and painting. In 1991, Baker was living on American Street when one conflagration down the street ignited a fire within her. “There was a fire at the American Street Tannery,” Baker remembered. “That was so dramatic, and along with all the buildings being demolished and fires going up everywhere in the neighborhood, it really made an impression on me and made me want to look at my immediate surroundings for my art work.” So Baker began creating monoprints of Northern The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event.

THE LOCAL LENS with Thom Nickels by Thom Nickels

I don’t usually attend City Hall press conferences, but last week I was advised to check out the mayor’s 12:30 announcement in Conversation Hall about a new Mormon Church construction project at 16th and Vine Streets. I had about two hours notice, so I wrapped things up at my desk, dressed appropriately, and headed for City Hall via the 15 bus and the El. This was just one day prior to the big storm so the mood on the El was bleak. Winter weary faces were everywhere, my own included. On the El I saw the usual sights: the guy selling cookies for a dollar a pack; the ex-veteran Marine who saw combat in Afghanistan who wants to return to Oklahoma; the guy who announces, “I am not a drug addict. I am not an alcoholic. I just need your help—for a simple sandwich.” Then there’s the guy who announces that he has AIDS and needs help with rent and food money, and of course the robed Muslim guys selling scents and colognes. Taking the El these days is a bit like

going to the circus—you never know who is going to stand up and announce what. Traveling to City Hall is almost as much fun as walking into City Hall, especially now when the usual entrances are blocked by construction. Before the rehab of Dilworth Plaza, there was always a quick way to enter the building, but now that heavy construction has the West portal blocked, it is necessary to walk in the street (if you’re coming from Suburban Station) to get to the North portal. No construction site is ever pleasant to look at, unless of course you are an engineer and appreciate seeing the guts of a new building. Walking to the North portal was a chance for me to observe the changes in the plaza, so I studied the new addition, a structure that somehow reminded me of a cheese grater made from white plastic like those white patio chairs one buys from Home Depot or Target. The new structure concerned me, not only because of its ugliness, but because it didn’t look very sturdy. My sense was that the structure would age quickly, and that in twenty

years it would resemble a ruin. At the very least its patio furniture resemblances put me in mind of summer. Entering City Hall, for those of you who don’t know, requires a show of ID, as well as your signature in a log book after which you can take the stairs to the second floor (or the elevator if you hate steps). There’s a security detail near Conversation Hall, where the mayor’s office is also located, so you are “checked” again by security guards. Once passed “the gate,” you are free to amble about, or look at the grade school art behind the glass cases in the hall. If you walk a little further, as I did, you might run into a press conference other than the one you’re meaning to attend. On a heavy press day, the conferences can occur in clusters. At any press conference, the broadcast journalist people always set the tone with their heavy cameras, testing of lights and sounds, and the constant changing and moving of cameras to different angles in the room. Since I arrived early for the 12:30 event, I was constantly changing my seat as different broad-

cast cameramen (they are usually men) kept moving their cameras about, repeatedly blocking my view of the podium. This became an ongoing game of musical chairs, until at last I found a safe seat towards the front, where I didn’t think a cameraman would go. Watching other journalists assemble in the room, it was easy to locate the talking heads with their stamped NBC 10 jackets which of course reminded me of a pile of Ralph Lauren logos at Macys. Compared to the invisible note-pad holding print journalists, who wore no logo jackets or name tags, and who for the most part didn’t have identifiable “faces,” the broadcasters seemed like 1st class passengers on the Titanic compared to the print ruffians in 3rd class. (Perhaps this is one reason why most journalism school students today have their sights set on broadcast journalism.) The big moment comes when the mayor’s entourage enters the room. This is a single file procession of bigwigs, all the usual suspects in dark, somber suits. Like a chorus line of trained dancers, they know how to assemble

They spill out like a bureaucratic form of The Rockettes. In the mix was a Mormon official or two, although most of the Mormon chieftains stood off to the side. The mayor spoke first. He’s a good public speaker; you have to hand it to him. I like speakers who are able to make eye contact with various people in the audience. Standing directly beside the mayor was City Council President Darrell Clarke in his trademark Clark Kent glasses. At the Q and A, the mayor’s tone was politician sharp. There’s a specific style in delivering one word answers, like a “Yes” or a “No,” and then saying no more so that the delivery sounds like the snap of a whip. I call this press conference speak, and I think most seasoned politicians adopt this way of talking to the press. Clarke is a very tall man, so seeing him standing beside the mayor made me think-- for the first time, actually—about the mayor’s height. If you are a reporter at a news conference you have to be prepared with your question before the Q and A is announced. The time allowed for a Q and A is short. I like to compare this time to watching people fire guns at a firing range. The same rapid fire dialogue happens at Presidential news conferences. The big news at this conference was the unveiling of the Mormon Church’s redevelopment of the block of 16th and Vine Streets, including the building of a meeting

house and a high rise apartment house. A mammoth project like this caused me to wonder if the LDS Church sees Philadelphia as a potential Salt Lake City of the east. In all the years that I’ve lived in the city, I don’t think a Mormon missionary has ever knocked on my door. At the press conference, I wanted to ask Mormon Church officials if there was something special about Philadelphia that appealed to them. Could it be the simple fact that so much of Mormon history happened here? After leaving City Hall, I headed for the El and another ride home with the veteran ex-Marine talking once again about finding his way back to Oklahoma. Like a boomerang that always comes back, the one dollar per cookie package guy was once again making his rounds but missing were the incense-scent canvassers, the guy with one arm, and the old guy asking for a sandwich, be it liverwurst, cheese or chicken salad. •

COMMUNITY CALENDAR MEETINGS EKNA Zoning Update TONIGHT, Feb. 19 The Zoning Board of Adjustments (ZBA) hearing for 2100 N Front Street originally scheduled for Wed., Jan. 22 has been postponed (due to snowstorm) to Wed., Feb. 19 at 12PM. The ZBA hearing room is located at 1515 Arch St., 18th Floor. 2100 N Front St. is located at the intersection with Diamond/Coral Street. The owner of this property, Kensington Hospital, proposes to renovate and expand the existing building for a Group Practitioner Medical Facility to be used for Methadone treatment and counseling. A joint community zoning meeting between EKNA and Norris Square Civic Association was held on November 12,

and the community vote was overwhelmingly in opposition (54-8) to this proposal.  Neighbors to this property are encouraged to attend the ZBA hearing or send their comments to the ZBA at: 1401 John F.

Right: Baker has lived in Northern Liberties since 1978. This month, she is compiling art work, artifacts and personal stories from other neighborhood residents and opening an exhibit on the history of the neighborhood /Photo: Max Pulcini

munity History Gallery at the Philadelphia History Museum when she came up with an idea to set up a history exhibit of her own. Some argue that art is history—Jennifer Baker’s upcoming exhibit embodies that notion. Opening on Feb. 20 at The Community History Gallery, The History of Northern Liberties Exhibit chronicles the neighborhood from the 50s on, and will feature art from various neighborhood artists as well as historical artifacts, found objects and personal stories from others who have lived and spent time there. All of these pieces, items and anecdotes will then be compiled into two books, one on Northern Liberties artists and another made up of all of

the stories that Baker has collected. When Baker put out an open call for things and tales to populate the two books, she received all sorts of interesting relics from years long past. Some items include tools from an old blacksmith shop, drawings of cast iron gates intricately sketched onto the back of envelopes, old citations for moonshine from the city, detailed records from old social clubs and societies and much more. One item that Baker finds particularly interesting is an old vinyl record dug up from what is now Liberty Lands Park on Third Street. “Where the park is now, there was a tannery— a big leather processing factory that opened in the 1850s,” Baker said. “Eventually it was abandoned and there was a little company on the corner of that tannery

that was called Disc Makers where they made vinyl records. In 1996, the city tore down the tannery and it was eventually made into the park. When they dug the pits to plant the trees, they found thousands of records buried. Somebody found a record intact and lent it to me for the exhibit.” As for the artist book, Baker has received work from over 70 artists as well as a story describing each artist’s experience in Northern Liberties. Along with the artifacts and art, historic photos, maps, newspaper stories will line the walls of the gallery. There will also be a long table with the two books on it so those who come and see the exhibit can sit down, look into them and even add their own personal accounts onto the pages as the exhibit goes on. The

books won’t be printed and bound at the start of the exhibit’s run, but Baker says that she does intend to have them printed and published after the exhibit ends. The History of Northern Liberties will also feature a handful of short film pieces made from interviews with both longtime residents and younger folks who have recently moved into the neighborhood. These shorts will be playing on a television monitor in the gallery as well. Overall, this is a multimedia history presentation at its finest. “I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve curated art exhibits but never a history exhibit,” Baker said. “In some ways this is so

much more complicated.” While it may be complicated, Baker does feel as though telling this history is important. “You know it’s just a neighborhood like any other in Philadelphia, but being in this one fairly small neighborhood for all these years and seeing how it changed, and it’s changed so dramatically over that time, it’s really a micro chasm for the changes that have been happening in this country and world—how industrial production has changed and affected people lives,” Baker said. “My idea is that everyone tells their own story. I figured that no matter what I put on the walls, no matter what images I showed,

every single person is going to walk in there and say, ‘that’s not my story that’s not how I see it,’ because how you see history and what goes on around you is so personal. So my idea is to give everyone who’s interested, and wants to, an opportunity to tell their own story and tell what they saw. Then all those little stories together tell the story of the neighborhood.” The History of Northern Liberties Exhibit will have its opening reception party on Thurs., February 20 th at the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent in the Community History Gallery. If you have a personal story to share, contact Jennifer Baker at jlpbaker@gmail. com.•

CLEAN PLATE: Lemon Sorbet that carry Philly Water Ice, boardwalk shops, and Rita’s don’t open for another several weeks, or even months. The snow is actually making my desire stronger; not because of the constant reminder that winter still has a ways to go, but because it closely resembles the dessert I’m craving: an icy, slushy treat. This homemade lemon sorbet, a close relative of water ice, became my desperate attempt to gratify my craving.

by Casey Ann Beck

I can’t say I totally hate the snow; since working at a school for 2 ½ years, these have been my first snow days - certainly a perk. Still, I am anxiously awaiting all the good things that come with spring, summer, and warmer weather: feeling the sun on my skin; the smell of trees, grass and flowers coming back to life; wearing a reasonable amount of layers and putting my winter coat in storage; and, water ice. I’ve had such a hankering for water ice and, what I allow myself to have, I can’t shake the craving. Perhaps it’s because I have no choice but to go for the prepackaged stuff at the grocery store since neighborhood places

Lemon Sorbet Grated zest of 1 lemon Juice of 5 lemons (cut the lemons in half lengthwise) 1 cup sugar 1-1/3 cups water Squeeze lemons into large bowl or measuring cup and add lemon zest. Set aside. Pour the

sugar and water into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil, whisking until all the sugar has dissolved. Take off the heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest. Allow to cool and pour into a large plastic container with a lid. Put the sorbet in a freezer, stirring every 30 minutes to break up any

ice crystals. While the sorbet is setting, scoop out the fibers from the lemon peels and put in the freezer. Once the sorbet has set, scoop into the frozen lemon cups and serve. Don’t discount this frozen dessert just because it’s a winter wonderland outdoors. For one, lemon sorbet is often served as a

palate cleanser between dishes at restaurants, no matter the temperature outside. Mostly, though, it just tastes really good. I always find homemade frozen desserts a challenge since many of them are made with an ice cream machine, a piece of equipment in which I’ve never invested. This sorbet is simply sweetened and flavored water, and the right proportions ensure it won’t freeze into a solid brick. While the instructions suggest stirring frequently during the freezing process to break up the ice crystals, I actually like the texture that comes from their existence. If you allow some to form, the consistency of this dessert is reminiscent of the bottom spoonfuls of a cup of Rose’s lemon water ice; crystallized, extra sweet

and even a little syrupy. In terms of flavor, these proportions were perfect for what I was looking for, and the result was more tart and citrusy than sweet. If you’d like it a bit more mellow, remove one lemon from the mix. This recipe can be easily dressed up with some fresh mint or basil mixed into the warm liquid, and the sophisticated flavor would be a great match for the clever repurposing of the hollowed out lemon halves. This sunny, bright lemon sorbet is a surprising yet welcome change of pace from the heavy, wintry desserts many of us are sick of by now. It’s a nice preface to the warmer weather that I’m convincing myself is closer than it actually is, and it’s the perfect treat to hold you over until the boardwalk water ice stands open up.•

Diseases can creep up

Prevention is the key

It’s a common misconception that cats don’t get sick. In fact, cats are susceptible to many forms of disease—regardless of whether they live indoors or outdoors. Regular veterinary care can help stop illnesses before they happen.

Cats age much faster than we do. So even if your cat looks perfectly healthy, diseases and health problems could be lurking undetected. Physical exams and diagnostic tests are crucial for finding problems not visible to the naked eye.

Preventive care can improve your adult cat’s quality of life and help add more healthy years. It’s essential for detecting diseases early on, before they become more serious—and more expensive.

You can find all I-95 construction and lane closure updates here: LINK: www.95revive.com. Governor Proposes Budget to Lawmakers Before a joint session of the General Assembly this week, Gov. Tom Corbett outlined his budget priorities for the 2014-15 fiscal year. And for the first time, you can become directly involved in the budget process by submitting suggestions on how tax dollars should be spent. Visit http://www. pabudget.com/participation.aspx For the fourth year in a row, the budget proposal includes no new or increased taxes. The governor is proposing a $29.4 billion budget, representing a 3.3 percent increase over last year’s budget. The proposed budget would increase funding for prekindergarten through 12th-grade education by $363 million, making the state’s investment in education the highest it has ever been at $10.3 billion. The proposal also would increase funding to provide home and community-based services for an additional 1,250 individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism. In the weeks following the budget address, both the House and Senate Appropriations committees will hold hearings to closely examine the details of the spending plan. House hearings begin the week of Feb. 10, with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and Department of Aging among the first to testify. For detailed information on the state budget, visit: http://www.pabudget.com/ Strengthen Your Financial Defenses Following reported data breaches from several major retailers, consumer protection agencies are urging affected credit card holders to take steps to protect their financial assets. To strengthen financial defenses, do a personal finance safety check. Federal law requires each of the three credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. To obtain a free credit report, go online (https:// www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action) or call 1-877-322-8228. Consumers can request a fraud alert be placed on their credit reports. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently issued a consumer advisory with tips on what to do when account data has been hacked. Visit this site to read the advisory. http://www. consumerfinance.gov/blog/four-steps-you-can-take-if-

you-think-your-credit-or-debit-card-data-was-hacked/ House Scholarship Program Applications Now Available High school seniors can now apply for a Pennsylvania House of Representatives Scholarship to help cover the costs of higher education. Each year, two students preparing for post-secondary education are awarded four-year scholarships.

For more information about eligibility or to apply, interested students should visit my website www. RepTaylor.com and click on House Scholarship Information. The application deadline is March 1.•

Letter to the EDITOR Letter of Apology To the Gallagher and Bryan Families:

I would like to start off by saying how sorry I am for the problems I have caused to your families due to the irresponsible decisions I have made. Over the past 7 years not only did you become my closest friends but you also became family to me. You have put so much trust in me and I let you down and for that I am truly sorry. I would also like to apologize to all of the members that worked so hard to make it such a success. My actions have caused me to lose trust with so many people and that is understandable, but most of all, my family. I put my wife and kids into a position that is unfair to them because of what I have done. All I ask is that you know they had nothing to do with what has happened and that they shouldn’t be judged because of my mistakes. Once again, I am truly sorry for my mistakes.

Horoscopes ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21

Aries, there is more to you than meets the eye. You enjoy letting others get small glimpses of your true self, but this week they will get a lot of information all at once.

Sagittarius, a lucky streak has you excited to test your good fortune. Ride this wave, but do not go through all of your money in one fell swoop. That can spell trouble.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21

CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20

Feeling restless, Taurus? Spend some time with a hobby that you enjoy, whether that is cooking in the kitchen or building something out in the garage.

Capricorn, you have been doing a lot of waiting around, but now your patience is bound to pay off. You just need to wait a little while longer to bear the fruits of your labors.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Others may have trouble reading you this week, Gemini. That’s because you are putting forth a few different faces. It is better for all involved if you remain consistent. CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, now is the time to introduce your family to a special friend of yours. This person will be received graciously, so there is no need to fret about the meeting.

AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a big adventure is on the horizon. The trouble is, you do not know what to expect and what to bring along for the ride. Things will come into focus soon. PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 You need to take a rest, Pisces. Otherwise, you will burn out very quickly. Friends are urging you to slow down this week. FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23

FEBRUARY 16 Matthew Knight, Actor (20)

Leo, when you want to get something done, it is probably best if you do it yourself this week. This way you can bring your own unique approach to the task at hand.

FEBRUARY 17 Ed Sheeran, Singer (23) FEBRUARY 18 Matt Dillon, Actor (50)

VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22

FEBRUARY 19 Jeff Daniels, Actor (59)

Cash seems to be flowing out of your pockets this week, Virgo. You may want to sit down and make some adjustments to your spending habits so you can get your finances in order. LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your patience is wearing thin, but you need to keep your cool or you could end up in a sticky situation at work. Ride things out until the weekend arrives.
