HIS BROTHER’S KEEPER: Alfred Sheppard says a state institution for people with intellectual disabilities is the best place for his brother Wilson. NEAL SANTOS

SEGREGATION ANXIETY A push to get people with intellectual disabilities released from institutions spawns a long, bitter court battle. By Samantha Melamed

arl Solano’s sister is 58 years old, but, with her Down syndrome, her mental age has been pegged at less than 1. Since the 1960s, she’s lived at the White Haven Center, a state-run Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) about 100 miles north of Philly. “The only thing she knows is the staff, the other residents, the place that has been her home for 40 years,” says Solano, a Philadelphia lawyer. “She doesn’t know danger there. She’s in a place that’s protected.” Now, Solano is terrified that she could be pushed out of that sheltered environment. That’s because, as part of a legal settlement signed last year, the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) agreed to begin moving certain people with intellectual disabilities out of ICFs and into community-based settings, typically small-group homes. Solano and seven other guardians of people living in ICFs are suing in federal court to intervene in the settlement. “People trusted the Department of Public Welfare. They feel betrayed,” says Solano, who believes the state facility is the best place for his sister and some others like her. The thing is, the conventional wisdom says otherwise — and so do disability-rights advocates, the state and even the federal government, which operates under the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as a Supreme Court decision known as Olmstead, both of which

bar states from segregating people with disabilities into institutions if they can live elsewhere. “Almost 100 percent of professionals in this field believe that people are better served in their communities than in institutions, period,” says Maureen Cronin, executive director of the Arc of Pennsylvania, which advocates for the disabled. The Disability Rights Network of Pennsylvania (DRN), another advocacy organization, had filed the class action from which the settlement resulted — Benjamin v. Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare — in 2009, on the 10-year anniversary of the Olmstead decision. At the time, the number of residents in state facilities had fallen precipitously, from more than 4,000 in 2005 to around 1,200, part of a nationwide deinstitutionalization movement underway since the 1960s. But in Pennsylvania, that movement had stalled. DRN’s suit was a way to jump-start it. The most sweeping Olmstead lawsuit ever in the state, it took as its class all Pennsylvania ICF residents “not opposed” to being moved into the community. And it worked — sort of. The state agreed to begin moving out ICF residents last September. But since then, the pace has been glacial. Just 13 people were moved in the first year the agreement was in effect, out of around 230 DRN initially identified as part of the class — and some providers say new state policies and payment rates have made it almost impossible for them to accept the type of extremely high-need

✚ PARTY’S OVER The office of Pennsylvania attorney general has always, in its 32 years as an elected post, gone Republican. Ironically, though, if the GOP candidate, Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed, becomes the first to lose the seat to a Democrat in November, he may have Pennsylvania party politics — in particular, his links to Gov. Tom Corbett — to thank. Freed’s been trailing Democrat and former Lackawanna County assistant DA Kathleen Kane in the polls, and at a Monday-night debate, Kane was eager to tie Freed to what many Democrats perceive to be Corbett’s sinking political ship.“The difference between my opponent and I is that I was not hand-picked by Tom Corbett,” she said. Kane has also criticized Corbett for his work as attorney general overseeing the investigation of sexual abuser and Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, saying, “it’s your duty as a prosecutor to get the pedophile off the streets.” Kane contends she would serve as a “check and balance” against the governor. Yet, politics aside, neither Kane nor Freed promises to be an activist. Environmental protection, for example, in a state undergoing a historic gas-drilling boom, went undiscussed. Kane did, however, place more emphasis on consumer protection. Freed, who has received support from business, argued that such laws are “a shield. I don’t see it as a sword. I think that’s why trial lawyers are lined up on the other side.” —Daniel Denvir

✚ DEAD BEATS The leap from city reporter to obits writer is not a typical career

move for a journalist. But that and other similarly unlikely reassignments are the order of the day for reporters at the Philadelphia Inquirer. The financially troubled paper, which has seen numerous rounds of layoffs over the years, is now in the midst of an unprecedented reshuffling of many senior (and therefore more expensive) newsroom staffers. Which is how city writer Vernon Clark — along with projects editor Kathy Hacker — was reassigned to obituaries. And that was just the beginning. Theater critic Howard Shapiro was sent to cover South Jersey. Features writer Carolyn Davis? Her new assignment is Montgomery County cops and courts. Suburban Pennsylvania schools reporter Dan Hardy, meanwhile, is off to South Jersey. About a dozen reporters were reassigned, all to dramatically different geographic areas or to drastically different beats — or both. If this sounds like a good way to force out high-paid, union-protected staffers, well, Greater Philadelphia Newspaper Guild president Dan Gross acknowledges it doesn’t look good.“The sudden reassignment of this group of people, all of whom are of a certain age and have a certain length of service with the company, raises an eyebrow.” On Oct. 8, Interstate Media Group — which bought the Inquirer and Daily News in April — introduced the latest round of buyouts. Shapiro, at least, accepted. But some reporters are considering filing an age-discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, according to two knowledgeable Interstate employees, and the Guild has filed a grievance in protest. Newsroom morale, sources say, has hit rock bottom. Interstate executives declined to comment, as did Inquirer editor Bill Marimow. “No one’s explained the larger strategic objective to the staff,” says one source. “That’s not really how you run a company when you want to create enthusiasm for an approach.” —D.D. >>> continued on page 11

OUTGUNNED ³LAST WEEK,the Good Ship Man Overboard! was

flooded — with emails, that is, from CeaseFirePA, a group that advocates against gun violence and the illegal use of firearms. The urgency: Pennsylvania House Bill 898, which would increase the penalties for “straw purchasing” (buying a firearm for someone who’s not legally allowed to own one), was up for a vote. The emails were cautiously optimistic for a change. CeaseFirePA advocates all manner of proactive measures to curb gun violence in Pennsylvania, a state that maintains no firearms registry, doesn’t mandate the reporting of lost or stolen guns and tolerates the so-called Florida loophole, by which a gun owner who’s been denied a concealed-carry license can simply obtain one from another state. But the group spends much of its time warding off midnight legislative maneuvers that ram measures favorable to the National Rifle Association through the General Assembly. And despite there seeming to be a consensus that straw purchasing — already illegal — is, you know, bad, there was a hitch. “It remains to be seen,” said a frantic email from CeaseFirePA executive director Max Nacheman, sent literally minutes before the bill was due for a vote in the Senate, “if the NRA and its allies will insist on using it as a legislative vehicle.” Nacheman’s well-founded worry was that the bill’s language would be gutted and replaced at the last second with a provision long sought by the gun lobby — one that would penalize municipalities that have passed gun-control measures, such as those requiring the reporting of lost or stolen guns, if those measures should be struck down in court. Possible legislation would force cities to pay legal fees and damages for anyone affected by those laws. This, in a nutshell, is where Pennsylvania gun laws stand: One of the state’s most active gun-policy watchdogs spends much of its energy trying to make sure an uncontroversial measure to increase penalties for illegal gun purchasing doesn’t turn into a sly legislative giveaway to the gun lobby. In the end, HB 898, the straw-purchasing bill, finally passed the Senate (sans legislative transfiguration) with a resounding vote of 49-0 just hours before the Legislature adjourned for the session — and not, Nacheman reports, without attempts by the gun lobby to do exactly what he’d feared. The bill still requires the signature of Gov. Tom Corbett. Should he sign, it would mark what guncontrol advocates can claim as a relative victory — and relative, these days, is as good as it gets. ✚ Send feedback to Man Overboard! via his law-abiding

patients left in ICFs. And now, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is considering whether to allow Solano and the others to intervene and decertify the class — potentially voiding a settlement that’s been considered a major victory for disability rights in Pennsylvania. The thing is, DRN managing attorney Robert Meek says Solano’s concerns are beside the point: The goal of his class-action lawsuit was never to force anyone out of ICF care. “This case was not about people who don’t want to move [or whose guardians don’t want them to move]. The case was about the state’s failure to offer communitybased services to people. If you’re opposed to moving into the community, you’re not a member of the class.” ³ THIS CONFLICT — between families who know and trust the state centers and those who want the ICFs shuttered — has been raging for years. Cronin says it was the same thing three decades back, when another class-action lawsuit led to the closing of Pennhurst, an ICF outside Philadelphia. Families “were very afraid of what would happen in the community,” she says. “It really puts parents in a crisis situation, because … by allowing their family member to leave, it’s like saying they might not have made the right decision in the first place. It’s very hard to say, ‘That was not the right decision.’” She points to the Pennhurst Longitudinal Study, in which Temple University medical sociologist James Conroy tracked Pennhurst residents as they moved into the community. Guardians “universally were happy” with the move, she says. “They realized their son or daughter had a better life and better choices.” Audrey Coccia, co-executive director of Vision for EQuality in Philadelphia, agrees. “I personally have moved out about 150 people over the years under court orders into the community, often with greatly fearful families. And every single one of those families said to me in the end that they were glad their family member eventually moved out.” Still, all of this doesn’t soothe the anxiety of Alfred Sheppard, a Philly resident who is among those suing to intervene. Sheppard’s brother Wilson has severe intellectual disabilities and no capacity for speech, and has lived in White Haven for 40 of his 49 years. Sheppard’s parents had their troubles: At one point, he and all eight of his siblings were placed in foster homes. For years, no one visited Wilson. When Sheppard finally got a chance to go and check on his brother, he was “amazed,” he says: “He had nice clean clothing, no scratches or bruises. He wasn’t hurt or abused. These are things that, when our back was turned and we didn’t have the capacity to visit him, could have happened. And they didn’t.” Sheppard, now Wilson’s guardian, doesn’t want to try his luck again by moving Wilson to a new place.

Advocates, however, say the downside of life in an ICF is significant. They say it’s a world without choices, like being incarcerated for life. Jean Searle can attest to that. She lived 12 years in ICFs, starting at age 10. Searle, who says she has “mild retardation” along with physical disabilities, recalls that the ICF staff were unyielding and sometimes abusive. “I felt like I was in a prison ward,” she says. “They were constantly strict at all times. You really couldn’t do anything without permission.” Worse, she thought to herself, “I’m in an institution, and I’m not going to get out. This is my life.’” At age 22, though, Searle received help moving into a community setting. Now, at 50, she has a Center City apartment and a job as a reception-

“I felt like I was in a prison ward.” ist. “I like that I can do what I want,” she says. “I can go home and cook dinner, just relax, watch TV, whatever.” She gets help occasionally: for example with grocery shopping. Mostly, she just lives a normal life. Coccia says that’s not possible in state centers, which haven’t improved much since Searle’s days there. The buildings are ancient and in need of repair, Coccia says; one of her advocates recently walked into a basement meeting room at the Selinsgrove Center ICF and found it full of asbestos. She says she’s been to state centers where residents “will follow you on the grounds and beg you to help them get out.” “There are many people in the state centers who can tell you themselves that they don’t want to be there. But their parents will fight to keep them there,” she says. “In some cases it’s been shameful, the exclusion. And sometimes, the parents >>> continued on page 10

have been involved in that exclusion.” The DPW settlement won’t override a guardian’s right to keep a family member in ICF care. However, Solano and the other intervenors say they have good reason to fear what could happen down the road. With the institutions already operating well under capacity, the closure of more ICFs seems an inevitable consequence of the settlement, they say. At the appeals-court hearing, DPW counsel Doris Leisch acknowledged that the centers’ future was unclear. “The department has no plans to close” the remaining ICFs, she told the court. “Does anyone know what is going to happen five, 10 years from now? No, but [if they close] it’s not going to be because of this settlement.” Coccia, however, doesn’t deny that closing the centers altogether is her goal. Just as Solano fears his sister being forced out of the center in the future, Coccia is afraid of the opposite: that her 47-year-old daughter, who has an intellectual disability and who lives at home, will be forced into an ICF one day. “As long as those state centers exist, our family members are threatened with being placed there someday, if we’re no longer here,” she says. ³ DESPITE ALL THAT, Pennsylvania’s ICFs won’t

be closing any time soon. After all, the state fell far short of its first-year goal of moving 50 people out into community settings under the Benjamin settlement. In fact, though the DPW tries to avoid it, some people were moved into ICFs in the past year. Financially, it would make sense for the state to close the centers as quickly as possible. The DPW figures it costs $250,000 per person per year to keep a person in an ICF. It estimates it could save an average of $90,000 per year for each person moved into community-based care — or about $98 million a year all told for the ICFs’ 1,094 residents. But logistically, it’s a different story. Placing ICF residents into community living situations has lately become a nearly impossible task, according to Coccia, who has been trying to help identify appropriate caregivers. Many providers are demurring because the DPW’s recently restructured payment rates are no longer sufficient, she says: “This is a new problem for us.” DPW spokeswoman Donna Kirker Morgan denies that DPW has had trouble finding caregivers. She says the delay is due to an “enhanced … person-centered planning process,” designed “to make sure that what the individual needs to be fully included and successful in the community is clearly identified.” But Kathleen Brown McHale, president and chief executive of Special People in the Northeast (SPIN), says the rates have been a significant barrier in the case of her nonprofit. “We have been asked to take people, and some of them we’ve said ‘no’ to. I don’t think we’ve gotten a referral that we’ve been able to take at all recently from an [ICF],” she says. Brown McHale says those left in ICFs are

the highest-need cases, since many have co-occurring psychiatric conditions or physical disabilities. But the state has reduced its rates the most for these super-high-need “outliers,” making them even harder to serve. “The people in the Benjamin settlement aren’t getting services because they have a high need for support,” she says, “and that’s just the beginning of people not getting services.” SPIN, she says, is already reeling from other cuts and growing expenses. It’s losing an unsustainable half-million dollars a year on housing costs alone, even after aggressive refinancing of its mortgages. It doesn’t help, she says, that while residents in similar homes elsewhere in Pennsylvania can obtain food stamps, all but a handful of the residents in SPIN’s Philly hous-

“We are threatened as long as ICFs exist.” es have been denied. “We have cut every cost we can in every one of our homes. We were asked to provide these services, we were asked to provide them in homes, and now the state doesn’t want to pay what they cost.” In the meantime, the delay in moving people out of ICFs may come at the expense of the approximately 15,000 people now on Pennsylvania’s infamously long waiting list for intellectualdisability services of all types. “For every person in a state center, we could serve 20 off of the waiting list,” Coccia notes. More than that, she says, it shouldn’t take a lawsuit to get the state to make and carry out a plan (as required by the federal government) to give everyone a shot at living in the community. “Even now, there seems to be no commitment to moving forward,” she says. “To me, this state is long overdue.” (samantha@citypaper.net)

icepack By A.D. Amorosi

³ AFTER NEARLY A half-century in the jewelry business and 44 years in the party-throwing game, Henri David knows how to keep a secret. So, no, he isn’t about to tell you or me much about what his costumes will be for his legendary annual Halloween Ball at the Sheraton Center City (17th and Race). They’re always towering, always garish, always complex and always memorable. David famously assigns different pieces of his baker’s dozen costumes to different designers and craftspeople, so no one tailor or nailer (some of these outfits are more like small houses) knows too much. While secretiveness holds true (the Oct. 31 party doesn’t have a Facebook event or website — you have to call 215-732-7711) there is one changeup. “I put a single clue in the body of the poster hung around town as to what one of my costumes will be,” says Halloween’s favorite host. Figuring that out could be a treat (but it might be a trick). ³Awesome Dudes Printing (Sixth and Reed) isn’t just a place where guys in beards drink beer, worship Andre the Giant and make wild prints. Sometimes they give beers away, as they will with the Cans for Cans deal they’ve got going with Bar at 13th and Sansom. Bring some canned foods to either location (AD HQ or Bar) and someone’ll give you a brew in the Dudes’ honor. One can a day, man. Be generous — donations go to Philabundance— not a drunky pig. Plus, this weekend Awe-Dudes open their warehouse to the public with a yard sale of awesome tchotchkes, kissing-booth busses and, just guessing here, beer. ³David O. Russell’snext Philly-filmed adventure is the subject of some Hollywood scuttlebutt this week. Russell was in this city last week, casually eyeing locations for the Abscam-themed flick (once titled American Bullshit), talking tax-credit business with area politicos hitting up Thursday’s Philadelphia Film Fest premiere of his locally lensed Bradley Cooper vehicle Silver Linings Playbook. Along with Cooper on Russell’s Abscam ride (set to roll camera in spring) is Christian Bale,a name that’s been in and out of the project since its inception. But is Mark Wahlberg, another Russell vet (The Fighter) and Philly-film favorite (Invincible,Lovely Bones), worming in too? A rumor, but a fun one. ³ I, A.D.,your humble Icepack narrator, will be a judge at Oct. 27’s morning Rittenhouse Row Halloween Costume Contest with Sen. Larry Farnese, Tom Drayton (Fox 29), Michael Klein (Inky) and more at Radisson Plaza’s Warwick Hotel.While kids vie for prizes, adults can sip on morning cocktails and sup on brunch from Di Bruno Bros.,Schlesinger’s and Termini Bros. If you think I’m a monster with adults, you oughta see how witchy I’ll be on these kids. … Mwahaha. ³ More American bullshit at citypaper.net/criticalmass. (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

SORRY, DAVE: Left to right, Carbon Dance Theatre’s Eiren Schuman, Danielle Currica and SunMi Cho dance among the arms of a robot named Homer. KATE RAINES

[ dance ]

DO THE ROBOT Science per Forms integrates mechanical and human dancers. By Deni Kasrel

eredith Rainey, artistic director of Carbon Dance Theatre, wants to adjust the arm of Homer, one of his performers. Things aren’t working quite right — when Homer raises an arm, it nearly beans another dancer on the forehead. Making the adjustment is more complicated than the usual touch or word, though, because Homer is the playful name Rainey has given to the system of robotic arms used in Science per Forms, a new work that explores relationships between digital technology, robotics and dance. At this rehearsal, certain details of the production — set in the lab of a mad scientist experimenting with cyborgs — are still being worked out, including Homer’s programming. The Kinect camera system needs fine-tuning, too. This gizmo creates projections derived from movement caught in its field of rays, and the plan is to set it up to project silhouettes of audience members as they enter the theater. “We’re hoping to put it on a lag time, so when you sit down you can see yourself,” says Rainey, who adds that the effect plays on “the whole idea of who’s watching who, and that technology is always present.” Dealing with these and other high-tech gadgets is a long way from Rainey’s professional training in classical ballet. He danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet for 19 years; after retiring

from the company in 2006, he decided to step up his game as a choreographer. “I’m trying to do something that’s different from where I came from,” he says. “I feel there’s that ballet audience, and there’s that postmodern or modern audience, and they sort of butt heads. I don’t understand why, because I go to both and I love it and I think everybody else would. So I feel like I’m trying to bridge a gap … you can be a little bit of both.” Rainey’s keen to investigate different modes of movement, and his efforts have been well received — he took the top prize in the 2011 A.W.A.R.D. Show!: Philadelphia, a competitive showcase of local dancemakers, and Carbon is now a resident company at Drexel University. Success hasn’t gone to the man’s head, though. Unlike in his former world of classical ballet, where a choreographer tends to serve as a dictator of steps for dancers to follow, collaboration is key to Carbon’s process. Science combines the talents of several collaborators — if we think of the piece as a cyborg, half human and half machine, Carbon artistic associate Marcel Williams Foster might be thought of as the consultant on the human side. Foster’s background includes theater, dance and a stint with the Jane Goodall Institute’s Center for Primate Studies, and his long-standing interest in anthropology and human-animal behavior is a big influence on his work. “It’s an exploration of the fact that in order to be human, it means having an intimate relationship to some kind of complex technology,” explains Foster. “How we live biologically now depends on the tools

[ dreary in its loveliness ] ³ boogie

Drifting on an endless lukewarm lilt, awash in acoustic strums, steel drums and starry-eyed synth pads, so fragrantly lush and fluffy you could sink right through it — Woolfy vs. Projections’ second album is practically dreary in its loveliness. Even the uptempo funk numbers are smooth enough to nap to. What saves The Return of Love (Permanent Vacation) from utter anhedonia — and separates it from the vast majority of modern Balearica — is a batch of songs that actually manage to penetrate the haze, even if they have to quote Steely Dan to do it. —K. Ross Hoffman

With a left hand like a runaway freight train and a right hand flying free and fast, Deanna Bogart is all about the boogie piano. But even boogie addicts will tell you that kind of nonstop excitement can wear you down. Bogart’s latest, Pianoland (Blind Pig), adds depth. The sensitive singer actually removes a layer of cliché from James Taylor’s “Close Your Eyes.” There are some originals here, but Bogart’s best work is updating old boogie-woogie hits from masters like Pete Johnson and Erroll Garner. —Mary Armstrong

³ dance/electronic A far cry from the pastoral paisley flourishes and kraut-fuzz of his early Caribou days, Dan Snaith’s full-length bow as Daphni is less a wholesale reinvention and more the logical extension of 2010’s EDM-embracing Swim. Basically, he’s been having way too much fun with vintage synths. The dancefloor-primed cuts on Jiaolong (Merge) — Afrobeat recastings, slow-burn swingstep shuffles, acidzapped hard house — are more impulsive than anything he’s done; they’re fresh, zingy and a little dangerous. —K. Ross Hoffman

LADY EVIL

³ roots/americana Happen upon a Miss Tess live show and you won’t walk away — that’s how compelling her mix of Americana and roots songs is. On the new Sweet Talk (Signature Sounds), Tess and her tight, string-driven unit spin a little Western swing, some suggestive double entendres reaching back to the early blues queens, a country weeper, a little bitter rock and even one classic pop song. “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire” is a ladies’-choice slow dance. Tess stretches it out, as if the romantic words were being spoken in a dream or underwater or maybe both, and makes it a daring success. —Mary Armstrong

CLOUD ATLAS

³ EVIL SWORD IS a bunch of nutballs. When I asked singer/flautist Kate Ferencz what brought her (and her spooky, lo-fi pop skills) to Philly, she told me a strange little story about her New York apartment being infested with giants who “ended up eating our other roommates. And after that we couldn’t pay the rent.” So now we have them, and they have a murky, messy, playful new cassette/download called Flesh Eating Mold Will Devour You coming out on Single Girl, Married Girl records and a release show/costume party to go along with it.

City Paper: What is Evil Sword’s deal? Kate Ferencz: Now we just have the one giant thumping around in our basement, but we need to keep having band practice to cover up sounds he makes so our neighbors won’t notice anything funny and start to wonder where all of their stray cats and small children have gone. And in the process of doing that we try to make the most beautiful music that we possibly can. CP: You guys love Halloween, eh? KF: Halloween is the happiest time of the year, mostly because of all of the costumes, but the trick is to structure your life in such a way that you have reason to be making costumes all of the time. CP: Is flesh-eating mold something I should be worried about? KF: Yes. CP: What else? KF: Regardless of what time of year it is, if you come to an Evil Sword show you are expected to wear a costume.

[ B+ ] COMPRISING SIX RELATED but rarely overlapping stories spread across centuries, if not millennia, David Mitchell’s novel Cloud Atlas seems, if not an impossible choice for adaptation, at least a profoundly unwise one. And indeed, the movie, co-written and -directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer, courts foolishness at every turn, most recklessly by casting such historically inflexible actors as Tom Hanks, Halle Berry and Hugh Grant across lines of nationality, race and gender. But if you can suppress a titter when Hanks shows up as a Cockney roustabout, or Grant as a savage tribesman, the choices grow palatable and occasionally even inspired. The film’s audacity, should one choose to view it as such, is in keeping with the novel’s sprawling fusion of squishy-headed New Age-isms with the eternal and unending struggle for self- (or selves-) determination. Cloud Atlas is a movie of big ideas, and only some of them are terrible. Instead of using the novel’s pyramidal structure, Tykwer and the Wachowskis opt to intercut their tales, which begin with the era of seafaring exploration and end with the human race nearing the end of its time on Earth. They also abandon the novel’s sixfold pastiche, opting for a more uniform visual style, even declining to specify which stories were directed by whom. (One slam-dunk: The segment set in a futuristic diner staffed by cloned automatons and decorated with cartoon holograms is an obvious descendant of the Wachowskis’ Speed Racer.) There’s some predictable juicing of the storyline, including a superfluous battle in the skies above a dystopian future Seoul — forgivable, given the tremendous risk in mounting a production so elaborate and risky — and, less tolerably, an ultimate turn toward canned optimism that undercuts the air of metaphysical mystery. But, for all its flaws, Cloud Atlas is a thrilling high-wire act, even more so when it stumbles and gets its footing back. —Sam Adams

Decorated with cartoon holograms.

THE DOCTOR IS IN: Tom Hanks as Dr. Henry Goose, one of the myriad titter-inducing characters he plays in this ambitious adaptation of David Mitchell’s much-lauded sci-fi epic.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about robots that perhaps is a little off-putting.â&#x20AC;? that we develop.â&#x20AC;? Hence the robot arms, the Kinect system and other digital devices employed in the production. These tools are indeed complex, and they required Carbon to bring in a team of technologists, including Simon Kim, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Design. If Foster is the human side, Kim would be the corresponding robot side. An architect whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consulted with Gehry Technologies, Kim did post-grad work at MIT on cybernetics and co-directs Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Immersive Kinematics research group, a blending of architecture and engineering focusing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;integrating robotics, interaction and embedded intelligence in our buildings, cities and cultures.â&#x20AC;?

Simon says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When an audience that is perhaps not versed in robotics sees the arms moving, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a robot, and not part of us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We want them to see that, one,

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancing very well, and, two, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interacting with human performers.â&#x20AC;?

Rainey, on the other hand, has more down-to-earth hopes for what the audience will come away with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very much a pragmatist.

A haiku: Looks like Adventures in Babysitting but on Halloween, and worse. (Not reviewed) (UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

THE OTHER SON|BAfter a four-year stint in television, French writer/director Lorraine Levy returns to the silver screen with The Other Son, a West Bank story of mistaken identity and clashing cultures that, unfortunately, fails to hit as hard as it could. We open with Joseph Silberg (Jules Sitruk), an Israeli student whose rock-star aspirations are put on hold when he discovers he was switched at birth with Palestinian Yacine Al Bezaaz (Mehdi Dehbi). The truth surfaces, poignantly enough, through a blood test in anticipation of Joseph’s mandated military service. Suddenly, the teens are forced to come to terms with the heritage to which they feel they truly belong. The film’s elegant cinematography and earnest performances can’t quite make up for a script that offers little more than a provocative “what if”

scenario. For a subject matter infused with such inherently divisive themes, Levy’s story feels strangely light on conflict. Families speak of violence only in terms of national history or distant memory. These are not ongoing struggles but deep-running, almost outdated wounds. Perhaps this was Levy’s intention — diluting, even trivializing, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to emphasize the needless trials placed on intercultural relations. Unfortunately, few trials actually materialize in the story, and even the film’s climax dissolves without much consequence. The narrative meanders between coming-of-age family drama and sociopolitical commentary, letting the entire movie go by before it commits to either. Maybe that’s the real identity crisis here. —Christian Graham (Ritz Five)

SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D A haiku: Ninety-four minutes of a hill being really quiet in 3-D. (Not reviewed) (Franklin Mills, UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

SMASHED|BThe worst part of waking up is a virulent hangover in your cup. James Ponsoldt conveys this with painful efficiency in Smashed, a forthright exploration of alcoholism clipped by its own rhetoric. Kate (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Charlie (Aaron Paul) are young, employed homeowners with a fun-filled relationship — just so happens that all their good times live at the bottom of a bottle. While Charlie seems to have the heavy boozing (mostly) in check, Kate, a gifted schoolteacher, is deteriorating at a scary rate — one second she’s belting out karaoke, the next she’s DUI and smoking rock with vagrants. Winstead, earning well-deserved attention for this role, is eerily effective at navigat-

HALLOWEEN FLICKS

A haiku: OK, at this point we’re siding with you guys, ghosts. Kill that family. (Not reviewed) (UA 69th Street, UA Riverview)

FRANKENWEENIE |A

SINISTER |B-

Disney goes dark in this Gothic, animated 3-D delight by the ever-imaginative Tim Burton. The story quickly establishes the close bond between Victor and his dog Sparky. When the pooch unexpectedly bites the dust, the bereft child is struck with the idea to reanimate his pet, and he does so in a virtuoso sequence à la Frankenstein. While the reignited Sparky isn’t seamless — some of his body parts tend to fall off — Frankenweenie is a solidly conceived blend of humor and horror that balances dry jokes with some unsettling jolts. —Gary M. Kramer (UA Riverview)

MAGIC MIKES The Mildred brings a talented cast to the former James space in Bella Vista. By Adam Erace THE MILDRED | 824 S. Eighth St., 267-687-1600, the-mildred.com. Dinner Tue.-Thu., 5:30-10:30 p.m.; Fri.-Sun., 5:30-11 p.m.; brunch Sat.-Sun., 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Appetizers, $7-$13; entrees, $17-$44; brunch, $6-$15.

omey and cozy in a smoldering cast-iron skillet, chicken and biscuits was not what I expected from Michael Santoro. The sleeper hit of the Mildred’s bar menu looks more like something mom might make than the D.C. export who wowed Philly with foie parfaits, vadouvan rabbits and spherical gnudi as smooth More on: as marbles at Talula’s Garden. During his brief, brilliant tenure there, Santoro crystallized his local rep as a chef who could cook like a beast and plate like a ballerina, a chef so committed to his style he bounced out the Garden after just four months when he was (allegedly) asked to dumb things down. And now, a year and change later at the Mildred, his hotly anticipated independent debut, he is cooking ... chicken and biscuits? Poultry-scented steam ascended from the black Staub pan, revealing fingerprints on my can of cider and releasing notes of woodsy winter herbs as it reached for my nose and the rafters of the lodge-like ceiling beyond. Santoro considers himself a “biscuit

aficionado,” a claim these golden puffs supported as they rose from the rich, tawny gravy. The meaty sauce clung to the big shreds of buttery dark meat. Precisely diced onions, carrots and celery root glimmered like half-buried gems. One hearty forkful made this clear: I thought I knew Santoro, but I really didn’t know him at all. “What we’re doing here is more personal, straight-up good cookin’ with less reliance on garnish for garnish’s sake,” says the chef. “The food looks a lot different [from Talula’s], but there’s a thread running through everything I’ve been doing for the past several years: low-temp cooking, marinading, brining, braising, the application of food science, how it affects vegetables, eggs, milk.” In Philly, we don’t have the luxury of having known Santoro for the past several years. We don’t know the Santoro of the Blue Duck in D.C. or the Santoro of the Fat Duck in London or the Santoro of Gilt in New York. All we know is the Santoro of Talula’s Garden, which is why the rustic persona of the Mildred’s menu feels like such MORE FOOD AND a curveball. But what’s happening in the DRINK COVERAGE kitchen, behind the scenes, Santoro insists, AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / has always been the same. M E A LT I C K E T. The chicken and biscuits made that clear. A clinic of meticulous, “thinking along every step” technique — the veggies are cooked separately in schmaltz before being added to the gravy, for example — and pristine Pennsylvania ingredients, it might not be the most thrilling thing I’ve ever eaten, but on a crisp fall Wednesday night sitting by the fireplace in the Mildred’s lounge, it’s hard imagine a more perfect plate of food. And did I mention it’s $7? The Mildred’s Bella Vista neighbors played an important role in >>> continued on page 43

³ ACCORDING TO MOST travel guides, the quintessential Philadelphia dining experience begins with a soft-pretzel appetizer, continues with a sandwich-y main — say, a cheesesteak, roast pork or hoagie — and gets rounded out with a scoop of water ice, a Tastykake or a Goldenberg’s Peanut Chew. Of course, these iconic Philly foods are near and dear to our hearts, but a menu like that doesn’t do justice to all the great eats in our fair city. Getting the full Philly food experience is all about knowing the right people. Iris McCarthy, author of Food Lovers’ Guide to Philadelphia (Globe Pequot, Sept. 18), is the right people. She’s a hometown food writer and blogger who has assembled a pocket-sized guide geared toward making sure that visitors and locals have a chance to taste the best the region has to offer, whether it’s a deep-fried Engine #47 hot dog from Moe’s on Grays Ferry, a square pie from Santucci’s or a $49 prix fixe tasting menu at Sbraga. McCarthy has done a bang-up job pulling together a comprehensive guide to all things Philly-food-related, from a How to Speak Philly guide (why, yes, “beggle” is the proper pronunciation for bagel around these parts) to a month-by-month calendar of food fests and events to a roundup of farmers’ markets. Food Lovers’ Guide is not afraid to stray from Center City. McCarthy heads out west to Desi Chaat House for the namesake Indian street snack, north on Broad for bulletproof fried shrimp and into the far Northeast for manti and kebabs at Uzbekistan. Without a guide like this, a visitor might never have the chance to be serenaded by opera-singing waiters while enjoying hubcap-sized plates of veal parm at FrancoLuigi’s Pizzeria & High Note Café. There’s also real insider info here, intel about the Americancheese-topped pizzaz slices at Cacia Bakery, outof-the-way smoked links at Czerw’s Kielbasy in Port Richmond and the Snyder Avenue Javanese fare of Indonesia Restaurant. But if you do decide to go the pretzel-cheesesteak-water-ice route, McCarthy has some solid picks. For pretzels, it’s Center City Pretzel Company on Washington Avenue, where the doors open at midnight and the pretzels are hot out of the oven. On the steak front, she’s got South Philly’s Gooey Looie’s and Steve’s Prince of Steaks on Bustleton Avenue. And for water ice, South Philly is the place to be with the solid offerings of John’s on Seventh and Christian, inventive flavors at Pop’s Homemade and gelati at Italiano’s. (caroline@citypaper.net)

dictating the menu’s price point, as well as its style. After taking over the old James space last March, Santoro and Michael Dorris, his business partner and culinary-school pal, walked around the ’hood introducing themselves and listening to what the neighbors said about their building’s former tenant: “It was a destination spot when they wanted a neighborhood spot.” With warm fir tabletops in the dining room, mauve velvet stools at the bar and all the room’s whitewashed brick stripped (by Santoro) to its original russet and red, the tavernish Mildred no longer resembles chichi James. But Santoro’s pastas, in the best way, remind me so much of Jim Burke’s, from the harvest-spiced squash-and-sweetpotato tortellini arrayed in caramelized fall crops (I particularly loved the crisp, fruity quince) and carrot broth in the striking 12-inch-long penne coiled like cobras around a tremendous braised beef rib. Santoro gratinées the latter in old-school Mornay sauce, a mac ’n’ cheese that doesn’t draw its sophistication from lobster or truffles. Marinated in an aggressively spiced, housemade A.1. sauce, that beef sang, especially when paired with a glass of cool, peppery Aglianico del Vulture, a DOCG vino from southern Italy’s Basilicata region. The Mildred’s wine list is replete with esoteric values and lovable oddballs like this, and nothing seems to make the warm, upbeat staff (under the direction of front-of-the-house maestro Dorris) happier than pouring you a complimentary taste. Something white and bright like verdicchio cuts the richness of another of my favorite Mildred efforts: pig trotters seared in caramel, braised with apples and horseradish, shredded and tucked into hollowed potato cups. Not every dish was so successful. Wrapped in bacon and savoy cabbage, the slab of guinea-hen terrine was well made but poorly seasoned; mincing the pickled plums as finely as grains of kosher salt minimized their impact when scattered on top. One-note celery-root-andSmokehouse-apple soup would have worked as a quick shot, but poured tableside from a cherry-red teakettle, a whole bowl quickly grew tiresome. Cooked too hard, dark caramel glazed an otherwise lovely tart tatin for two in a veil of abrasive bitterness. A better ending arrived in pastry chef Emily Riddell’s light lemon tart festooned with citrus marshmallows and fresh huckleberries. Or you could always just ask for another bowl of sweetly spiced, housemade apple butter; the thick puree tasted as good straight off the spoon as it did on baker Katie Lynch’s warm loaves of bread. Santoro and Dorris have really surrounded themselves with a talented cast, including a third Michael (Rafidi), Santoro’s sous chef and sidekick for the past five years. So many Mikes, all with some magic, but it’ll take more than that to elevate this restaurant to its full potential. Fortunately, this crew is committed to the Mildred. “We signed a long lease,” Santoro says. Plenty of time to get to know him better. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

IF YOU WERE HERE!

You think that I don’t know that your ass has a serious problem you need to get it together before fucking trying that shit with me...I am so tired of going back and forth with you...then you turn it around on me like I did something... then I say to myself what the fuck was that he made it seem like it was me and it wasn’t what am I doing with you? I fell for you because you made me feel like I was the only woman in the world. You made me feel special inside and out... you make me so sick now I just want to hurt you sometimes to make you understand. How your mother raised you is beyond my control but to let you know I am damned sure tired of the entire thing...you need to straighten up or go somewhere else or take some fucking medicine.

OMG! I can’t believe you would of been 74 years old...when I think about you I instantly get tears in my eyes. I wish you were here so I didn’t have to deal with this person’s fucked up family. I am tired of seeing all of their faces but I thank you for all the guidance that you have shown me from so far away. I wish that I could taste your cooking again...smell your scent and just be in your company. I miss your stoking your hands in my hair. Me smiling and being so happy. What I wouldn’t do to see you again. Oh How I would jump for joy! I wish that I could just hold you one time around the time of my upcoming birthday

when they’ve been in the clinic for 10 years and are still outside high as a kite and nodding, when it is enough? The so called security team does NOTHIN, unless its the year inspection or the director is there. Clients are dropping dead almost every day from combining their methadone and other drugs! The counselors are unprofessional and the doctors have no clue what they are doing! I am doing the right thing and it seems like I’m being manipulated by them for the money they get from my insurance. I am being treated like I do something wrong...but the ones who are selling shit don’t get bothered. Methadone is one of the WORST drugs ever created!

BUNNY We are getting married. You are perfect for me. I am so happy that you choose to be with me. I feel so special. I love coming to see you at work, and getting coffee. When I see you I feel so happy, because you are beautiful, and so amazing. My gem, YOU ARE SO SEX, so sweet to me. We will have nice children together., whatever comes in the future, we will have happiness, my life has been fulfilled because I have known you, I truly feel you are my perfect mink mate. :)

I AM THE WHORE of Babylon and you are playing by the rules from the other side of the tracks. What we have is enough. Your eyes dance when you see me, it sets me a flutter, and makes me feel as shy as a schoolgirl. I think of you on my time away occasionally and it gets gets me through. I will never want more than dancing the night away on an endless summer evening. You make obligation something to look forward to each and every time. You keep it all to yourself and the world has no clue what it is missing.

IDIOT GUY! Why the fuck did you say that I was confusing you when I changed the sudject..you stupid ass you can’t do two things at one time? I hate talking to you because you shift the conversation to religion and that is when you and I go through it..you stupid ass keep one conversation going then maybe just maybe I will talk to you about some thing else. Nobody wants to hear you silly ass mouth. Shut the fuck up already.

LISTEN YOU ASSHOLE You are an insecure, mid life crisis that has passed its prime. Thank you for cheating on me with a stripper. Who you claimed was your “friend” who happened to sleep in your bed on the way from her job. She is half your age and single. Thanks. Thank you for not respecting me enough to tell me the truth. If you had not insulted my intellengence I may have been able to forgive you. I am too old now to start a new life with another man. and my chance of having children is gone forever, unless I want to have children with your cheating ass. I DO NOT.I’d rather have children with M.R. we all know who this is. And I know I always say it when I am angry, but you REALLY Do have a small penis. When we have sex, it frustrates the hell out of me. Why do I have to work with this pathetic thing, I think to myslef. Why. Really. Each time it aggrovates me. It really is small in comparison to all the others I have seen. Ever. In my life. And you are never hard enough. It falls out all the time. You are just gross, and I cannot wait to leave your ass in the gutter. I wish I could see your face when you discover I have been hoarding money and am buying an awesome house for myself!!! I will take the leftover money and pay a young man to do me until I can’t walk. Maybe I’ll send you pictures. On second thought...No. I HATE YOU.

LOVE I can’t believe you’re real. You are everything I ever dreamed of as a girl hoping to fall in love. You’re truly amazing and fantastic. I love you so much it almost hurts. You’re unbelievably kind, you’re smart, incredibly funny, and GREAT in bed! I love you John, and I hope you’re feeling the same way. We will buy a condo and raise 17 children there if you just happen to fall so in love with me too. I’ll take care of you. I can’t wait to.

I WISH YOU COULD SEE Why can’t you see what the fuck is going on... I am tired of this whole fucking relationship as I told you before if we broke up it was going to be your fault and here were fucking are...I am blaming everything on you at this point. This relationship sucks you suck and I am realizing that the only person going to make me happy is me! You are not even a good father in my eyes, then you had the nerve to try to kick in my door. I feel really depressed and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Give me my fucking keys and move on with your life as I will. That is what your corny ass family wants anyway...

ing washer then me and you are gonna fucking have it! And fat dude...don’t let me see you the fuck again...please don’! lonely mother fucker!

NOW ANNOYED

which is real soon. I miss everything about you. I can’t get you out of my mind.

IS THIS RECOVERY? Your facility is supposed to be a recovery oriented program, but to me it seems like a dangerous corner in Kensignton. I’m a recovering drug addict who is using your program to get myself better. Each and everyday I am forced to deal with invalid methadone abusing junkies who could care less about bathing let alone recovery! Ok, I understand that some people are “sick” but

LAUNDRY-MAT ATTENDANT & DUDE What the fuck was that about..you stupid ass bitch I kept telling you that I didn’t put that much soap into the washer and you insisted that I did you stupid ass bitch I have been washing clothes since I was 11 years old. And you fat bitch of a guy who the fuck do you think that you are telling her that you think that I broke the fucking washer both of ya’ll can suck a big dick! I hate going into the laundry mat to wash my clothes but I have to do what I have to do. But, bitch like I told you the other day you have one more time to accuse me of messing up the fuck-

Wow, you manipulative fool. I guess these rappers out here were right when they said “trust no bitch”. I never thought the “bitch” in this situation would be you. I can’t believe you did what you did. And to think I was making you suffer after all these years, but now I know that I was just fueling your anger towards me because I chose to not be with you at the time. You told me whatever happens between us we will still be friends, but what’s gonna happen if I turn out to be pregnant? Will you walk away and forget about me because you’re still in love with your ex? I never said it was a bad thing for us to end up having sex, I just didn’t want it to turn out bad because now I’ve become your “go-to-girl.” The girl you fuck then duck, even when you wanted to be my boyfriend for so long. IF you break the pact we made about us being friends no matter what happens, I will never forgive you. ✚ ADS ALSO APPEAR AT CITYPAPER.NET/lovehate.
