WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... M US I C

YACHT

Claire L. Evans is as cool as you suspect she might be. As essentially one-half of the band YACHT, alongside her long-term collaborative partner Jona Bechtolt, Evans sings but also seems to conceptualize and smartly plan its creative direction. She’s a science writer who’s contributed to National Geographic’s ScienceBlogs network, led the online reboot of OMNI and now edits for Motherboard, Vice’s science and tech blog. Strangely enough, her journalistic forays seem to embolden Evans as a performer and commodity creator. She and Bechtolt are excellent computer musicians who also use rock and roll instrumentation, but, despite their best efforts, still get pegged with that 21st century kiss of death: EDM. It’s “a new category that was invented to encapsulate this big commercial thing that includes dubstep big-sounding party music,” Evans tells PW of the genre, wondering aloud about “the line between what is and isn’t electronic music” these days. About seven years ago, as a short-lived Portlander, I had the good fortune of seeing YACHT live, and for that show, they performed tracks from 2004’s Super Warren MMIV, 2005’s Mega and their awesomely-titled 2007 LP, I Believe in You. Your Magic Is Real. But it was their fourth, the DFA-released See Mystery Lights in 2009, that would shoot YACHT into the stratosphere of awesome with super-fun gems like “The Afterlife,” “I’m in Love with a Ripper” and “Psychic City (Voodoo City).” They’ve also made successful remixes for tons of people, from Snoop Dogg to Kings of Leon. “Jona is kind of a remix machine,” Evans says of her partner in crime. The two are Apple aficionados, Evans admits, but “that U2 thing, it crosses a line,” she says of the secret slippage of their brand new LP onto millions of Apple consumers’ smartphones. And what about folks getting spins of the most recent YACHT album, the outstanding Shangri-La, without ever buying a hard copy? “We’re grateful that people want to listen to our album in any way,” she says. “It’s not like people are doing that to hurt us on purpose. They want access to the music. And you can’t get angry with people about it.” // BILL CHENEVERT Sunday, Sept. 21, 8pm. $15. With White Fang.

The Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University and Prostate Health International’s Gary Papa Run are offering free prostate screenings as part of a research program. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. Screening is important because prostate cancer shows no symptoms in its earliest stages. Many organizations recommend prostate health assessment as part of men’s healthcare. Free screenings, including a blood test for prostate specific antigen (PSA), testosterone and cholesterol and a digital rectal exam, will take place at the following two locations:

Growing up in a trailer park in rural Indiana, writes radio/ talk show host Tavis Smiley, “my initial encounter with the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. altered the very course of my life.” It was King’s rhetoric and righteousness, Smiley says in the introduction to his 16th book, Death of a King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Final Year, that led him to his work as a minister and advocate. It’s also what led Smiley to study the period from April 4, 1967 to April 4, 1968, days in which, just a few years after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, the beloved civil rights leader found himself shunned by the press and politicians as he spoke out against the Vietnam War and began attempting to organize the poor, demanding economic and human rights for the underserved from Congress and government agencies. King was, of course, killed before he was able to realize the ambitious goals of his Poor People’s Campaign, an assassination that still haunts and hurts some 46 years later. In this book, Smiley—with Death of a King’s co-writer, prolific biographer David Ritz—shuns the spectre and lore of King’s brilliant, inspirational oratory to focus on his darkest days and marvel in his strength and steadfastness against an American public, black and white, that had turned against him. Hot off his debut on ABC’s Dancing with The Stars, he’ll speak about it at the Free Library tonight. // RANDY LOBASSO

Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions If there’s one thing Nintendo really knows how to nail in its video games, it’s memorable music. Throughout 2012 and 2013, their The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert tour dazzled fans all around the world, playing the music from one of their most popular game franchises. Well, now it’s Pokémon’s turn. Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions is the live orchestral concert tour for the worldwide phenomenon spanning nearly 20 years of games, toys, trading cards and more. Tonight, the Mann Festival Orchestra, featuring the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, is set to play new arrangements of composer Junichi Masuda’s music from the game series, starting with 1996’s Pokémon Red and Blue going all the way to last year’s Pokémon X and Y. Accompanied with visuals straight from the game on a big screen above the orchestra, you’ll be able to relive moments like stepping out of your house into Pallet Town for the first time in Pokémon Red or running through Route 10 in Pokémon Black and White. Even if you don’t know a single thing about Pokémon, experiencing the music that has captured fans’ emotions year after year will expose you to a new world of aural enchantment. And for the lifelong fans, there’ll be a sing-along of the Pokémon theme song, so be sure to brush up on your vocals. // ALBERT S. HONG 8pm. $13.50-$78.50.

Every year for the last 30, there’s been a celebration of Hispanic heritage on North 5th Street, between Cambria and Lehigh. The massive party, called Feria Del Barrio—for “neighborhood fair”—includes all those sensational Philly street-fest accoutrements you’ve come to expect and enjoy: delicious food aplenty, live music and dancing, arts and crafts—the whole shebang. Notable locals Johnny and Aida Cruz are set for special-honoree accolades, plus Julio César Sanabria, Edwin Colón Zayas and Wanda Rivera and her orchestra headline a fat, multi-faceted music bill. Traditionally, Feria Del Barrio—a collaboration between Taller Puertorriqueño, Raíces Culturales Latinoamericanas, Congreso de Latinos Unidos and the Hispanic Association of Contractors and Enterprises—has simply showcased Philly’s spirited Latino arts and culture scene, but this year’s big anniversary makes it special, so there’s a revitalize-and-rebrand push underway, too. Since the North 5th Street commercial district is often called El Centro De Oro, AMerican MEdia Output is getting all techy with a “participation marketing campaign” to engage the public and promote some North Philly pride using the slogan “Yo Soy Oro,” meaning “I am gold.” If you attend Feria Del Barrio and want to, say, tweet about it, use the hashtag #YoSoyOro. Be sure to pick up some free swag that’ll be given out, and shine like the golden child you are. // R.L.

In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted by a jury of their peers for conspiring against the U.S. after playing a part in a scheme giving nuclear secrets to Stalin’s Soviet Union. Prosecutors aggressively targeted the couple, leading some to think they were railroaded; others insisted that the duo was certainly guilty and deserved swift justice. Beyond dispute, however, is the fact that their conviction—and subsequent execution—were controversial. Still, they were human. Their shared humanity comes alive on film and the stage in Carry It Forward: Celebrate the Children of Resistance, which captures last June’s theatrical dramatization of the last four days of the Rosenberg’s lives in 1953. As happened then, the Rosenbergs’ case is a fulcrum upon which leftist causes, including peaceniks and prisoner advocates, leverage their advocacy. Angela Davis provides narration, with Eve Ensler and Cotter Smith starring as the infamous couple. Proceeds from tonight’s single screening of Carry It Forward, which also contains narratives highlighting the plight of other controversial political activists and prisoners, benefit the Rosenberg Fund for Children, started by the son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and now overseen by their granddaughter. The RFC awards grants to help with the educational and emotional needs of the children of targeted activists in the U.S., as well as youth who are targeted for their own activism. Whatever your position might be on the Rosenbergs, Carry It Forward is sure to be a fascinating look at a disturbing chapter of U.S. history. // JOSH KRUGER

FASHION

What to Wear, What to Do It’s a week of style and fashion happenings across town, courtesy of the Philadelphia Collection.

f there’s a characteristic that’s emblematic of fashion around here—more so than shiny fabric in Center City, more so than exuberant facial hair in Fishtown, more so than sweatpants in South Philly—it might be the inclination to hybridize the fashion world with other stuff. Whether that means inventing clothes with built-in tech support (see

next page) or popping up fashion shows in the middle of all sorts of unrelated events (see below), we do seem to like our style fun mixed in with all the rest.

Tech, Style & Tomorrow NextFab’s Christine Zapata on the future of clothes.

extFab, the South Philly-based outfit that explores the future of manufacturing, is joining in the Philadelphia Collection’s week of fashion events this Thurs., Sept. 18, with “TechStyles,” a discussion about technology in fashion between local experts including (among others) designer Dom Streeter; pocket-solar-power entrepreneur Jason Browne; and NextFab’s textiles chief, Christine Zapata, who offered PW some advance thoughts on the topic.

new processes and blending them into their existing toolset. When fashion designers combine electronics and digital production into their work, I believe it becomes more dynamic and expressive. And people absolutely have more opportunities today to be engaged in the creation of what they wear; there are so many resources available for learning to DIY, as well as customizing style options and providing designers with feedback and requests.

What’s most exciting to you about the future of producing clothing? To me, the combination of digital manufacturing processes—such as laser cutting and digital printing— with traditional garment production processes is exciting, because it allows for mass customization as well as more interesting design possibilities. Philadelphia has a lot of resources in the form of incubators, universities and shared workspaces, and it’s exciting to see how these resources sprout new ideas and help form and support new businesses.

Wearable tech was national news this week, with the long-anticipated announcement of the Apple Watch. Do you see this big product launch as an opportunity to change people’s relationship with tech and fashion in the same way that the iPod changed our relationship with tech and music? There are already several smart watches and fitness trackers available on the market that have been well received. The launch of the Apple Watch goes to show that being even more connected is a growing trend and will reach a more mainstream audience. Along with other wearable tech advances, this will certainly affect people’s relationships with technology and how it plays into their daily lives. What’s most interesting to me is to consider

The Philadelphia Collection this year coincides with Maker Week. How do you see maker culture engaging the fashion world? More and more designers are trying

FOOD & DRINK

Make a Night of It Sit down at Crow and the Pitcher, and you won’t be looking to get up anytime soon. By Brian Freedman // bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com

Swing on by: Even the bar has offerings that amaze. (Photo courtesy of Crow and the Pitcher)

This is proof, yet again in this season of Gallic reverence, of how soulful great French cooking can be. Desserts, too, were refreshingly straightforward. Creme brûlée, the crisp cap protecting a center exceptionally expressive of lime and vanilla, hit its mark where so many others fall short. And Creamsicle cake, with its childhoodreferencing interaction of cream and orange, was as Proustian a dessert as there is for a guy raised in the ‘80s. Wines are well-chosen and easy to pair with the food—not many restaurants offer the gorgeous Cantele Negroamaro by the glass, or the lovely local Chambourcin from Bancroft, for that matter. And the Basque cider from Isastegi, all funky and crisp, also makes for some seriously rewarding pairing opportunities. And don’t forget the cheese cart. Restaurant Week or not—and note that none of what I covered here was part of that specific menu—Crow and the Pitcher is worth a visit. And then another one.  Editor’s note: Restaurant Week in Center City continues through Sept. 19. More info: centercityphila.org/life

incredibly light in texture, which was thrilling against its hearty, earthy flavors, aided by the inclusion of olives, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and more. This is food you want to eat, and in quantity. (Okay, except for the deviled eggs, which, while certainly enjoyable, never really rose to the level of so much else the menu has to offer.) This is a restaurant that’s exquisitely pitched for how so many of us like to eat right now: It’s comfortable, casual and technically rigorous, allowing guests to relax with the knowledge that the kitchen and the servers will be executing their work with real skill. Which they do. All of which is to say that it’s too easy to camp out here, order an extra drink or two, maybe another dish, and make a night of it. There are worse ways to while away a few hours. The poached lobster, refreshing for both its chilled presentation as well as its price ($21 seems very fair), may not have quite fit in with the style of so much of the rest of the menu, but one bite made me stop caring about that: Anointed with a miso dressing twirling with ginger, lemongrass, lime, orange and more, and served with unctuous pieces of avocado, this tail-andclaw plating was fabulous. Lamb, on the other hand, was more traditional, the Pennsylvania Dutch medallions practically reflected in the shimmering base of a rich lamb bordelaise, the wafer thin slices of pommes Anna beneath, the tender asparagus on top.

estaurant Week is, generally speaking, friendlier to the average diner than it is to a restaurant critic; as much as I appreciate and share the spirit of culinary outreach that Restaurant Week stands for, it does make my job trickier from a scheduling standpoint. So this past week, when I made plans with my most carnivorous friend for dinner at Crow and the Pitcher, I was all set for that meal to be simply a ground-laying research visit, not necessarily an experience that would provide the metaphorical meat of a review meant for publication— despite the fact that the place was also offering its standard menu in addition to the Restaurant Week one. And then, somewhere around my third bite of fried pickle, just after my second sip of the addictively herbal Mr. Goby cocktail—who knew that pisco, Cynar, kaffir lime extract and vermouth play so well together?—I realized that this place is the real deal, regardless of any Restaurant Week promotion. That pickle, a firm cucumber spear tightly encased in a perfectly fried beer batter zippy with Walt Wit, was excellent on its own. But when chased with that cocktail, something incredible happened: All the herbs of the Cynar came out, that almost evanescent, savory whiff from the artichoke bumped right up against the pickle and created sparks. There are plenty of surprises like that here. Roasted hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, lacquered with honey and arriving a shimmering, burnished mahogany color, were a study in flavor-layering: Sweet at first, then savory, then almost meaty: They were such a revelation that even my friend, avowed aficionado of the cooked flesh of so many earth-roaming creatures, nearly swooned. Over a mushroom. Or, more accurately, mushrooms, plural; there were also some excellent beach and chanterelles joining in on the party, too. Charcuterie, made in-house like nearly everything else here, was just as successful: Chicken presse generously aromatic with thyme, parsley, chives and more; foie gras paté as meltingly tender as you’d hope, the salt-and-Sauternes cure a stroke of genius; lamb terrine almost

On the Edge — of Town

Mt. Airy Art Garage marks five years bringing Northwest Philly artists together. By Stephen H. Segal // ssegal@philadelphiaweekly.com

t’s five years now since Linda Slodki and Arleen Olshan set out with the vision of building a community hub for artists of all sorts in Northwest Philadelphia—and, specifically, along the Germantown Avenue corridor. Their brainchild, the Mt. Airy Art Garage, is flourishing: Community art markets? Yep. A vibrant artists’ coop, flush with gallery space and room for special events? Check. Connecting the wide-ranging talents of Northwest Philadelphia’s diverse creative circles with area residents in a warm, welcoming venue they all can consider home? Every day. So Saturday’s big fifth anniversary celebration is well earned; it’s set to feature live music from the Dukes of Destiny, delicious nosh and wine, and a silent auction of both fine art and craft items. Slodki sat down with PW this week to chat about some of MAAG’s most colorful moments— past, present and future.

ART

YOU’LL BE HUMMING FROM 9 TO 5 WITH

After spending five years with Mt. Airy Art Garage’s community, let me ask: Is there a je ne sais quoi of Northwest artists? How does the flavor of art, of crafting, of literature up Germantown Avenue differ from what one might find elsewhere? We are part of a developing arts scene and community revitalization; we take an active part in our community and our block associations. There’s a large and growing body of artistic talent in Northwest Philly, both professional and emerging, that has no representation in the city; we are all getting to know one another, to work together in different disciplines. In short, we’re doing the work of both gallery/center ownership and our art—encouraging each other, sharing information, collaborating—all instead of working in isolation and in competition with one another. MAAG also radiates a love for the Wissahickon Valley. Our location in the heart of the Wissahickon watershed gives us a unique opportunity to combine art with an awareness of the fragility of our natural infrastructure. We generate creativity around the natural beauty of this community—for example, our work with area public and private schools to stimulate a public response through art by crafting 25 hand-painted rain barrels.

Fabric of the community: Mt. Airy Art Garage kicked off 2014 with the group show Art of the Quilt.

The range of activity you’ve hosted at MAAG is considerable, from artist networking salons to holiday arts markets to poetry slams to civic events, like last week’s informational session on navigating Pennsylvania’s new gay marriage landscape. What do you consider your biggest successes at MAAG thus far? First: being part of the revitalization of the Germantown/Mt. Airy/Chestnut Hill corridor and injecting art into that revitalization—making sure our voices are heard through creativity. Second: completing the buildout of the MAAG building, all with community support. Some of our annual series of events—such as our programming around International Women’s Day— are growing exponentially and being widely embraced. We had our first quilt show, which featured over 40 quilts, from fine art to traditional styles; we’re looking forward to having another show in two years featuring fiber, textile, and quilting—bigger and better! We also appreciate our collaborations with area schools, where we see how the arts shape and change kids’ lives. What are the biggest challenges ahead? Spreading the word that we are here—a Northwest hub for the visual and performing arts. We look to deepen our involvement with Philadelphia arts and community organizations that serve broad constituencies: young and old, LGBTQ, culturally diverse, everyone. Speaking of LGBTQ presence: If Washington Square is the heart of

Philadelphia’s Gayborhood, surely Mount Airy is the city’s epicenter of lesbian and feminist culture. How has that shaped MAAG’s identity and/or aesthetic as its artist community has grown? The Germantown corridor is one of the most diverse and welcoming communities in the city. Since the 1950s, our neighborhood has been known for a history of intentionally integrated communities, including LGBTQ. Where else would we have created MAAG but here? As out lesbians who recently were allowed to marry after 16 years together, Arleen and I are committed to being in the vanguard of community involvement—for the LGBTQ community, as well as for everyone else. Who we are, as lesbian feminists, flavors what we do, while opening our doors to everyone. What’s on the horizon? Most exciting are our growing partnerships with the various art institutions citywide. We’re currently working with Moore College of Art & Design to mount a March 2015 show at MAAG called Gender Weave, which will explore gender through textile and fiber. We’re looking forward to having a healthy exhibition schedule over the next few years, encouraging collaborations with area art schools, continuing our commitment to K-12 area schools and expanding our performing arts events and workshops for all ages. ■ Sat., Sept. 20, 6pm. $30-$35.

OutBeat’s Got the Jazz

What’s for three nights and four days, at 10 events in eight venues? Philly’s first-ever queer-centric OutBeat Jazz Festival. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

illy Strayhorn was pure magic. At 16 years young, in the mid-1930s, he composed the majority of “Lush Life,” now a jazz standard that starts with these lyrics: “I used to visit all the very gay places / Those come what may places / Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life / To get the feel of life / From jazz and cocktails.” Strayhorn, who died of esophageal cancer in 1967 at the age of 51, was and is a legend. He was essentially a best friend to Duke Ellington; they met in Pittsburgh, where Strayhorn grew up, and became fast co-conspirators. He was famously tight with Lena Horne, even said to be one of her biggest inspirations to sing. And he was an ardent Martin Luther King, Jr. supporter, composing “King Fit the Battle of Alabam” for Ellington’s My People, a landmark stage show performed as part of the Century of Negro Progress Exposition in Chicago in ‘63. Pretty cool, huh? In case you were unaware, the talented Strayhorn was gay, gay, gay. The man’s life and career will be feted Friday night at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre by the Philadelphia Jazz Project in its “Lush Life: Philadelphia Celebrates Billy Strayhorn,” as part of what the William Way LGBT Community Center, in a partnership with the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, is calling OutBeat, America’s first queer jazz festival. It’s a marvel what they’ve pulled off, with a mind-blowing array of programming over the course of three nights at eight venues, followed by a big, fat finale and festive street fair in and outside of Union Transfer on Sunday. On OutBeat’s opening night at William Way, the fest’s primary venue sponsor, you can hear The New York Times’ Nate Chinen in conversation with Fred Hersch, a legend in the jazz piano game, often touted as the most prolific and talented jazz pianist of his generation. Hersch has been nominated for a slew of Grammys and regularly nabs the Pianist of the Year title bestowed by Downbeat and the Jazz Journalists Association. The Fred Hersch Trio plays at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Friday night. Saturday night is meaty as hell, too. Drum legend Bill Stewart, who’s played with Maceo Parker, John Scofield and James Brown, takes the Painted Bride stage with his quartet at 7pm, and drumming sensation Terri Lyne Carrington brings her insanely funky and modern Money Jungle project to Chris’ Jazz Cafe at 8pm. Carrington, by the way, has got the goods. She’s a professor at Berklee College of Music,

Out, proud and playing this week: On the bill at the inaugural OutBeat Jazz Festival is (clockwise from top) Monnette Sudler, Fred Hersch, Patricia Barber and Andy Bey.

her Boston-based alma mater; she’s played with Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz and Al Jarreau, and she’s one sickening drummer and composer. Boom. Her Money Jungle: Provocative In Blue came out last year to great acclaim for a reason: It is killer, even nabbing Carrington a well-deserved

Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album— making her the first woman to win in that category. Yes, it’s a nod to the legendary Ellington, who, with Max Roach and Charles Mingus, made a Money Jungle record in 1962. Carrington doesn’t so much cover, but rather interprets some numbers from that magical

trio’s masterpiece, plus, she puts a little edge in it with samples and found sounds. There’s so much more—and we haven’t gotten to the concluding day-long street fair, for which Spring Garden will be blocked off, food carts will feed you, merchants and crafters will be out en force, and surprise guests and performances will pepper the stage. Its musical lineup is studded with top-notch artists: In addition to another appearance from Carrington, standouts on the 13-deep roster include the Monnette Sudler Ensemble, Andrew D’Angelo, Dena DeRose and, most notably, Patricia Barber and Andy Bey. Barber is a lesbian blues singer, pianist, composer and bandleader who’s unbelievably gifted. Give 2013’s Smash a listen, and you’ll be blown away. Her voice has this crisp beauty to it that sounds a little like Lisa Stansfield mixed with Diana Krall and Oleta Adams. She’ll be performing with a quartet, certainly one of the highlights that would rival the wonderful Bey. He’s like a queer Bill Withers, a gay Gil Scott-Heron, a homo George Clinton. His 1974 LP Experience And Judgment is a straight-up masterwork, and his vocals are so rich and magnificent, it’s no wonder he’s been praised up and down by journalists and peers alike. Of course, one of the themes of a queer music festival is simply “We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re music-lovers.” Well, we’re also music makers—and damn talented ones at that. Jazz has seen a handful of queer icons, Strayhorn among them, emerge over the course of the 20th century, but OutBeat truly is the first of its kind, putting the amazing and inspiring LGBT artists who populate the genre on blast—in the best possible way. Speaking of Strayhorn, one of the passages I discovered while reading about the composer’s life was this magical eulogy from Ellington that’s worthy of sharing: “He demanded freedom of expression and lived in what we consider the most important and moral of freedoms: freedom from hate, unconditionally; Freedom from self-pity (even throughout all the pain and bad news); freedom from fear of possibly doing something that might help another more than it might himself and freedom from the kind of pride that could make a man feel that he was better than his brother or his neighbor.” Would that could be said of all of us when our lush lives come to an end.  Thurs., Sept. 18 through Sun., Sept. 21.

SCREEN REVIEW

The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them As on-point as the title is—so strained that characters make time to talk about it—the key beat of its name is its subtitle: Them. Originally, director Ned Benson showed two films on the festival circuit, subtitled Him and Her. Each followed one half of a disintegrated marriage, with the ex making appearances as the protagonist struggled to move on. They clocked a cumulative runtime of nearly 190 minutes. The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them, which edits those movies together, is two hours. That’s quite a cut. But strangely, even without knowing its background, you might still spend Eleanor Rigby wondering what’s missing. James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain do their best inhabiting Conor and Eleanor, seemingly doomed in their cycles of sabotage and inertia; McAvoy’s a ball of frustration, Chastain’s presence occasionally scripted to the self-consciously wistful. They’re not helped by initial mystery behind their split. We watch him stalking her a while and have no doubts why she’d leave. The real reasons, as they emerge, lend resonance to Eleanor’s deftly-drawn and prickly family relationships and add weight to her brittleness with Conor. However, those honest moments are dampened by an off-tone beginning and by flashbacks of a carefree past that have all the dramatic heft of a perfume commercial. If we never again see a young couple dance laughingly in a field as shorthand for lost love, it’ll be too soon. For those who’ve yet to see the disparate edits, there’s a lot of commentary fodder in the idea of taking subjective narratives of a shattered marriage into a single story meant to create a sympathetic whole. There will be even more if the full trilogy’s ever released, and all that discourse about Eleanor Rigby might end up being more gripping than the characters it’s about. (Genevieve Valentine) REVIEW

My Old Lady A movie like My Old Lady comes with a tony cast, a high-concept premise—Mathias (Kevin Kline) inherits a viager apartment in Paris that he can’t actually sell until the current tenant (Maggie Smith) departs the mortal coil—and a high-gloss Paris setting that looks, at first glance, like a Marigold Hotel-style feel-good flick. For those worried about things becoming too frothy, know that the movie’s general trajectory can be summed up in one of Kline’s many theater-tinged deliveries: “Just when you think things are really bad, they get terrible.” The first half of the film is the sort of small-stakes, mature drama whose absence in American theaters moviegoers regularly lament. Smith, Kline and Kristin Scott Thomas (as Smith’s daughter and biggest detractor) form an acerbic and deeply-felt lead trio as they snipe around their shared real-estate dilemma, which naturally becomes an emotional battlefield as well as a stunning locale. Though it’s not so much a dilemma for Mathias, who can’t wait to sell the apartment. He’s desperate for money and feels he might as well spite the father who made his life miserable. Kline clearly relishes wallowing in Mathias’ blithe darkness and is a perfect foil for Smith, who delivers one of her trademark knife’s-edge performances that’s affable and hurtful by turns. Scott Thomas has what seems at first to be a thankless part, but she handily sidesteps any shrewishness and delivers perhaps the film’s most quietly affecting work as a woman who’s lived a life in stagnant water. It’s unfortunate that things tumble downstairs, as the movie’s final act lays bare the worst of everyone’s long-simmering bitterness, an uneasy stew of melodramatic and saccharine. But, at its best, My Old Lady explores complicated relationships with a distinctly grown-up approach. And that Paris gloss doesn’t hurt. (G.V.)

Create a New Reality Apparently, you can. That’s the line being towed in The Green Prince, a documentary that puts the Israel-Gaza statecraft “game” under the scope. By Genevieve Valentine // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

ne of the gems of last year’s festival circuit was Omar, which garnered Cannes’ Un Certain Regard Jury Prize, among several others. It’s a wrenching drama about Omar (Adam Bakri) and the tensions in his life after he’s strong-armed into working for Israeli intelligence, pointedly played out in the claustrophobia of Israeli government, where militarized police abound, and Omar has to leap the wall to reach his beloved. At heart, it is a movie about the death of trust that happens in a situation that leaves someone without hope. It’s impossible to watch The Green Prince and not think about Omar. It’s impossible to watch The Green Prince and not think about recent events in Gaza. And it’s impossible to watch The Green Prince and think about the construction of story from without and from within. Directed by Israeli documentarian Nadav Schirman, the movie’s garnered the description of “thriller,” and while that’s often prefaced with some version of “nonfiction,” “documentary” or “real life,” there’s a sense of the surreal to the proceedings themselves that, perhaps intentionally, blurs some of those lines. Documentaries, of course, are no stranger to constructing narratives; they’re all just as much a story as a collection of facts. This effect may be even more inescapable in a film that so heavily relies on the stories of the two people closest to events, each of whom is well aware of the statecraft they call “the game” and knows just how to tell a tale. The two people are Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder Hassan Yousef, who got arrested, interrogated and turned, under the supervision of Shin Bet operative Gonen Ben Yitzhak. Yousef is an engaging speaker who speaks equally easily about shame from a childhood rape and reconciling the days of sleep deprivation that lowered his resistance to interrogation. Ben Yitzhak, Yousef’s handler, is the movie’s other subject. And while his approach is candid

and his attachment to Yousef eventually cost him his career, his very lack of affect is revealing: When discussing how he handled Yousef’s occasional periods of doubt, Ben Yitzhak recollects, “We don’t talk about the fact that he’s a traitor.” There’s very little to draw your attention from the dual stories being unspooled. There are a few reenactments of key moments in the interrogation, some archival newsreel and home movies, and some surveillance footage; given how short the surveillance shots are, you could assume they’re real, but by and large, we’re left to determine their veracity. The rest of the movie, then, becomes a mesmerizing, unsettling pair of monologues in which the tellers construct the stories they can best tell. Yousef speaks earnestly about his pride in saving Israeli lives; Ben Yitzhak speaks about making Yousef feel important and listened-to in order to improve the quality of his information. This is a movie that manages not to provide any easy answers, but also one that doesn’t want you to think for long about the people involved beyond what they tell you. If it seems very lucky that a highly ethical intelligence agent recruited a young man who was seduced by the power of a secret life, that’s all it is: luck. If it seems Yousef sidesteps his reactions to the impossible ethical complications of his position as his father’s contemplation of truce is disrupted and Yousef “came to the realization we’re fighting a ghost,” we’re left to note it and move on. Schirman assures us the pair’s relationship was deep enough that Ben Yitzhak’s testimony got Yousef political asylum in the United States after he took his story public in his 2010 book, Son of Hamas. But with its thriller trappings and its two seasoned players revisiting the board, The Green Prince is also a film that encourages its own deconstruction. “We can create a new reality,” one of them says, and one of the points of the movie is it doesn’t matter who. 

Dueling Demonstrators Skinheads, KKK, antifascists—what exactly is going on in Tacony? By Randy LoBasso // rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com

he tall brunette can’t even. “I walked up there and called them all pussies,” she says, before backtracking to the beginning of the story: “Me and my girlfriend came here to get some smokes, then we heard there was KKK… Everyone from the neighborhood is coming the fuck out to see it.” It’s a Saturday evening, Sept, 6, and the young woman, sporting dangling earrings and a black tank top, stands on the front stoop of a corner store on Torresdale Avenue in the Tacony section of Northeast Philadelphia. She’s a bit shocked at what she’s witnessing: dueling rallies between members of a white separatist group and an antifascist group. Her friend, she says, is “trying to get me the fuck out of here.” That’s because she’s been clean from drugs for the last two months. If things get too hectic, it could trigger her. Hectic? That’s one way to describe the scene. At first glance, it’s not obvious who are the racists and who aren’t—in part because the non-racists, standing across the street, are anarchists. Wearning bandanas across their faces, they don’t immediately look like “the good guys.” Police with Philadelphia’s Civil Affairs Unit have created two barriers in the bike lanes on either side of the street, while members of the opposing factions scream at each other through megaphones. What are they saying? Hard to tell. It may have something to do with the recent death of a local resident. Or maybe it’s about some recent KKK activity in the neighborhood. Or, perhaps, it all came about because of rising high-profile crimes in Tacony. Whichever way, what led to this Northeast Philly gathering of slurs and anger is as confusing as it is stupid. Over the last eight years, neo-Nazi skinheads and members of the white separatist group Keystone United, formerly known as the Keystone State Skinheads, have periodically held rallies around the Delaware Valley—most famously, at Fair-

mount Park every Leif Erikson Day, celebrating white heritage. And, on most of those occasions, they’ve been opposed by anarchists, communist and anti-fascist protesters—particularly, a coalition known as Philly Antifa—who attempt to drown out their message. So when Keystone United shows up in public, so does Philly Antifa. And vice versa: When Philly Antifa plans to rally somewhere, Keystone United shows up. That’s what happened on the Saturday in question: Philly Antifa scheduled a rally they called “March Against Racists and Rapists.” And Keystone United wasn’t gonna let that stand. According to the anti-fascist collective, numerous members of white power groups—Keystone United, yes, but also the KKK—live in this part of Northeast Philadelphia. Indeed, in June, actual members of the Ku Klux Klan held a rally at the Tacony Library on Torresdale Avenue.

Soon after, Tacony town watch member and GOP committeeman William Waters, a proud Klansman, was kicked off the town watch. “The KKK stuff was the straw that broke the camel’s back, more-less,” says Daryl Lamont Jenkins, head of the One People’s Project in Philadelphia, a regular at these protests. “Because they’ve been here for years, and they’ve been using this neighborhood as their headquarters.” June’s KKK rally, though, wasn’t the direct motivation for this Saturday’s gathering. On May 19, Vincent Pellegrino of Port Richmond died after crashing his car into a wall near the McKinley playground in Kensington. The Philadelphia Police Department reported that the 24-year-old’s car was identified by a woman who’d just called to report a sexual assault nearby as the alleged perpetrator’s car. Pellegrino, who was reported dead on

the scene, would never have a chance to respond to that allegation in court. Nevertheless, the flier that Philly Antifa made for Saturday’s rally was titled “March Against Racists and Rapists,” and printed the home addresses of four Keystone United supporters, including Pellegrino’s brother Nunzio. Pellegrino’s other brother, Nicholas, showed up at the rally after hearing that members of Philly Antifa were posting the flier around Tacony—because he is convinced his late brother was neither. “I was upset, very upset [when I saw the flier],” Nicholas Pellegrino tells PW a few days after the rally. “Especially because the facts wasn’t even true. My brother never raped anybody… I know he’s my younger brother, but I know he wasn’t capable of something like that.” So he came out to the scene to oppose what was being said about his late brother—as did other friends. Did he know skinheads were going to show up, too? “I assumed it,” he said. “I don’t speak with them, so I didn’t know for sure, but I assumed it. From my understanding, they all show up at all the rallies. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but why do both groups have to interrupt everyone else’s lives to get their opinions across?” Thirty or so members of Philly Antifa are on the scene at the Torresdale Avenue rally. They’re mostly young. They’re mostly dressed in black. Many have bandanas covering their faces. None—other than the aforementioned Jenkins—will give a reporter their names. Chants, led by a skinny, white man with sunglasses and a black baseball hat on, go something along the lines of, “No Nazis, no KKK, no fascist U.S.A.” and “This is our community, Nazis out! Nazis out!” After about an hour of this, around 7 p.m., the actual march begins, heading southwest on Torresdale Avenue. Neighbors come out on their front porches to watch unadulterated anger and slurs being hurled across the street. Now, it’s just KU and their supporters, and Philly Antifa and their supporters.

Anti-white pieces of shit!” screams another. “Where are you when the Black Israelites talk about killing Europeans?” screams A.J. Olsen, Keystone United’s local director, who remains at the head of his pack throughout the several-block march. Recurring chants of “No Nazis…” and “This is our community…” rile up the crowd. One woman on the Antifa side takes the bullhorn and begins provoking a middle-aged, gray-haired man later iden-

Civil Affairs Unit police, following the entire protest and keeping physical peace, have slowed down traffic along the avenue to a steady crawl. They turn their bikes inwards and block KU and their group at the corner of Torresdale and Levick so Philly Antifa can disperse.

A friend of the late Vincent Pellegrino, he says he’s a bit unnerved that Philly Antifa would publish people’s addresses on their fliers—but also that any of the neighbors, however upset by that fact, would knowingly stand alongside people wearing Keystone State Skinheads t-shirts, even if only to stick up for a friend’s name. “They need to stand away from the skinheads to get their point across,” Mathes says. “This is gonna start shit.” The crowd’s snowballing size increasingly becomes about a broader array of concerns. With at least one sign reading, “March against gun violence, drugs—not freedom of speech and thought!!” many of the counter-demonstrators seem to believe their voices were needed to protest crime rates in the area, something they feel Philly Antifa is encouraging with both their multicultural message, and attempts

’ve been sober for almost a month and a half now—defined as no alcohol or recreational substances. (I’m definitely still on caffeine and sugar. That’s not for fun, kids, they’re as optional as nitrogen.) Naturally, my thoughts have gone to drug use a lot lately. It’s not compulsive desire, more a pondering on the human drive to experience a different reality. Maybe it’s dislike of the inane tasks of being a grown-up, perhaps work and life stresses are too much to face head on, possibly: you’re bored. Using a mind-altering substance, whether it be opium, Wellbutrin or a venti macchiato, makes life feel better. But let’s say you want to join me in my vacation from using chemicals to getting buzzed—but still wanted to alter your state. What are the options?

LOVE AND LUST. Ultimately, all addictions are chasing a feeling created in the brain. As far as your brain knows, the sensation of falling for another person is indistinguishable from using drugs. Upon seeing that fine piece of flesh: Adrenaline, the ultimate upper, surges through you, causing a cascade of physical symptoms like increased pulse and sweating. Dopamine rewards you for looking at them, creating a stimulus-response not unlike cocaine use. Serotonin, big in the pleasurable experience of being on Ecstasy, gets you to ruminate on your crush obsessively. Should you and this hot person get your freak on, you’ll enjoy a shot of pain-killing endorphins. And if you get to the point of orgasm, Oxytocin and Vasopressin will convince you to continue to feel fondly for the person who provided it. Should you break up, your stimulus is taken away, so your brain goes through physical withdrawal same as ditching a hard drug habit. But, like all stimulants, one dose won’t evoke the same response forever. Over time, the physiological response of lust diminishes and by 18 months: it’s kaput. If you replace that manic high with intimacy and shared experience, the relationship can continue to be fulfilling. If not, you’re gonna be back chasing that high. ROLLER COASTERS AND HORROR MOVIES. Some folks do heroin, others

One for the (off ) road: Timaree’s getting her kicks from things other than drinks and drugs.

watch Hostel. But the goal is the same: dopamine. When we’re scared we get rushes of adrenaline, endorphins and dopamine. Anybody picking up on a pattern here? It feels awesome to get all riled up and it also feels awesome to survive that. Even if our conscious brains are aware that there’s no real danger posed by the girl crawling out of the well in The Ring, our fear response (in a much older part of the brain) believes it’s better to freak the fuck out at nothing than to miss a threat and be sorry. Natural variations among people mean that different stimuli feel more intense or pleasurable to some than others. Some people startle more easily—research indicates there might be a connection between conservative political affiliation and more active startle response—and others require a bigger dose to get the same effect. If you want to combine this high with the last one, bring your crush on a first date that will get their heart racing, like: rock wall climbing, theme park rides or a horror flick. They’ll associate the brain response to being around you and feel more attracted than if you’d sat and chatted in a book store. CREATIVE FLOW. If you’ve ever had a super-productive day, where you just felt outside of time and effortlessly in the zone, you know the experience of creative flow. What happens is transient (temporary) hypofrontality (shut-

ting down the pre-frontal cortex), or basically telling the part of your brain responsible for higher order cognitive processes to shut the fuck up while you get on this groove. This experience involves brain chemicals including (surprise, surprise): dopamine, norepinephrine (basically speed), endorphins, serotonin and anandamide, a chemical which you’d also get from smoking pot. OLD-TIME RELIGION. Neurologists are finding more and more evidence that spirituality and religiosity have a biological basis, with some folks more predisposed to belief than others. Specifically, the number of receptors in one’s brain for serotonin is correlated to the likelihood you’ll identify as religious. Mescaline, shrooms and LSD evoke the same sequence in your brain as a celebration of your higher power. ALL OF THE THINGS. Hopefully you’ve got the idea by now. The same neurochemical sequences can be found by exercising, eating, listening to music, meditation, fighting, gambling, being in a wild crowd, traveling to an exotic place, performing for an audience, or holding an adorable baby thing. If it was useful for someone thousands of years ago to survive, breed or form social networks, your brain still craves it today. We’re all just getting our fix. 

THE UNCOMFORTABLE WHOLE by Josh Kruger jkruger@philadelphiaweekly.com

Whore Away, SEPTA! SEPTA selling the naming rights to train stations isn’t just an economic boon—it’s also necessary and downright American. So why do people think it’s a bad idea?

can than whoring out somebody’s name to decorate—and fund—a place a lot of people like or need to use regularly. But acknowledging that bigger picture doesn’t suit the rhetorical needs of those who would masquerade their disdain for actual Philadelphians’ well-being inside saccharine pronouncements from the moral high ground. That type of thinking demonstrates an acute lack of connectedness with everyday people who simply need a transit system that works—and gets them around with as little hassle and as much safety as possible. Some 630,000 Philadelphians ride city transit like buses and subways every day.

simply because enough time has passed for the monikers’ commercial origins to become invisible to us. (So invisible, you’ll note, that it’s no longer even the possessive “Gray’s” Ferry nowadays, just Grays Ferry.) On a smaller level, local restaurants and other businesses routinely provide goods and services to nonprofit organizations— almost always conditional on a polite but public acknowledgment of their generosity. And nonprofits aren’t shy about appreciating those sponsors; heck, I’ve seen community gay pride events sponsored by the dating/ hook-up app GrindR. In other words, you can’t get more Ameri-

Together with the regional rail riders and the suburban transit riders, we’re talking 800,000 citizens getting around thanks to SEPTA. I get it. People need a dead horse to beat. The absurdity of the criticism against selling naming rights, though, is that it’s premised on a “problem” that doesn’t even exist in the first place. Obviously, nobody wants to be kicked out of a hypothetical Urban Outfitters presents Rittenhouse Square™ for wearing the wrong clothes; nobody wants to pay a quarter to walk into BJ’s Wholesale Club Free Library®. That’s precisely why we mustn’t sell off public, for-the-common-good property to profitdriven corporations. And it’s why we should be extremely careful when we commission private companies to manage public activities, like running schools or prisons or transit authorities. Thank god SEPTA’s not doing anything remotely like that. SEPTA controls every single aspect of transit operations and maintenance of these stations. Selling the naming rights is just that: slapping on an arbitrary name in honor of a generous sponsor. Community-minded capitalism—it tastes great. Pass the Mrs. Smith’s® apple pie, please, and leave the Portlandia-esque freakouts about corporate fascism for situations where they might actually be appropriate. It’s not as though SEPTA is some greedy, financially reckless pig, either: Money woes for the transit authority are almost exclusively driven by the contempt for Philadelphia held by too many politicians in Harrisburg. The Republicans who control the state government, including Gov. Corbett, view the economic powerhouse of Philly with irrational disdain. No matter how much we Philadelphians and suburbanites subsidize the Tea-Party-welfare-queen existence of rural legislators and communities with our dollars, we still get the political shaft. So of course SEPTA’s picking up some slack by doing something we’ve done all throughoout American history. And, you know, considering that SEPTA’s already done this with AT&T Station on the Broad Street Line subway, and Western civilization has not yet collapsed, I’d suggest we should be encouraging whatever public-private partnerships help out the average Philadelphian. By all means, yes—sell the naming rights to more things! I’d love to be able to say I get off at GrindR Station. 

ots of people need SEPTA. Take the regional rail system: The transit authority says 127,000 people ride it every single day. It’s clear that those rail lines— formerly known as the “R” system and now named after their final destinations—affect a great many lives; those rider numbers mean 36.7 million trips on regional rail last year alone. SEPTA stations aren’t just landmarks and destinations, then—they’re ubiquitous parts of our regional culture. So naturally, when SEPTA last week announced that it had sold the naming rights to the station formerly known as Market East, now called Jefferson Station in honor of the adjacent hospital complex, all hell broke loose in some liberal ivory towers. What’s next, selling City Hall? some folks dramatically moaned. You could see the snarky, Warby Parker-glasses-covered eye rolls coming out of Center City from as far as Cheltenham. To me, the only disturbing thing about selling SEPTA selling naming rights is why it took so long. See, while selling off public property itself would be a problem, selling the names to public property isn’t. In fact, it’s a great thing for communities, for private businesses and for citizens. And, goddamn it, it’s the American thing to do. You know Carnegie Hall in New York City, that most beloved bastion of American high culture? Of course you do, and you should take a moment to remember that Carnegie Hall is named after an ultra-rich steel tycoon whose company murdered a bunch of striking laborers, and who also almost single-handedly established—and slapped his name all over—the free library system in America. Here in Philadelphia, what about Logan Square, also named after one of the thenrichest merchants in America? Or Grays Ferry, named after a wealthy landowner and businessman. Or more recently, the Kimmel Center, named for another incredibly wealthy benefactor? Philadelphia’s queer community enjoys the John J. Wilcox, Jr. LGBT Archives, one of the largest historical collections devoted to sexual and gender minorities in the world. Wilcox, of course, endowed the William Way LGBT Community Center with the funds necessary for this honorarium. We overlook all those obvious precedents

Get nected Con

I’m the bisexual everyone loves to hate because I want to be in a poly relationship with both a man and a woman. I am a woman who is into commitment, loyalty, love, trust and honesty. I am not looking to cheat on anyone. But I discovered after one failed marriage to a man and one long-term relationship with a woman that I want to be in a romantic, sexually committed relationship with a man and a woman at the same time. This could possibly involve three-way sex, but probably not. It is more about sharing my life intimately with both a man and a woman. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I will ever find that perfect balance because so far, all my potential serious partners have been turned off by the idea. Should I keep searching? Is what I want as valid as what other people want? If so, how do I broach the subject without turning people off? Love Them Both You are not the bisexual everyone loves to hate, LTB. You’re the bisexual everyone is looking for. Tons of MF couples are out there desperately hunting for “unicorns,” aka bisexual women who are open to dating couples. Bisexual women open to three-way sex in the context of a committed poly triad are in particularly high demand. Anyone who reads my column knows this, LTB, and presumably you’re a reader. (You wouldn’t be writing to me for advice if you hadn’t been reading the column, right?) So either you have lousy retention skills or you’re pretending not to know how in demand you are because—consciously or subconsciously—complaining about evil monosexuals and boring monogamists is more appealing to you than actually finding what you want. You might wanna pray on that. Moving right along: Your wants are just as valid as anyone else’s, LTB, but we don’t all get what we want. You’ll have a better chance of finding what you want if you’re open about your wants and if you refrain from dating people who don’t want the same things you want. Seek out those couples looking for unicorns, seek out poly-identified singles, and be up-front about your wants with anyone who seeks you out. Some people will be turned off when you broach the subject, but so what? Those people are wrong for you. It’s not exactly rocket science: Don’t date people who don’t want what you want and you’re likelier to wind up in relationships with people who want what you want—or, more likely, you’ll wind up in relationships with people whose wants are different but come close enough to yours. Because there is no settling down without settling for, LTB, and that applies to bisexual and monosexuals, monogamists and polyamorists. Good luck. I’m a 31-year-old white gay man. I’ve never been in a relationship. I’ve had some extremely shady events in my sexual history, including but not limited to meth use, group sex, using my body to get drugs from disgusting older men, etc. Now I live with my parents, go to school part-time and have no money because I don’t work. Am I datable? I believe I’m not. What exactly do I have to offer to a potential partner? I fear if I don’t start to try dating for real that I’ll continue to repeat my previous shady behaviors. Which I did last night, wherein I sucked five cocks and smoked a truckload of meth, although it was the first time I smoked in a year. Gay Lost Cause

Would you date you? I realize that’s harsh, GLC, but someone who can handle a truckload of meth in one night—to say nothing of five cocks—should be able to handle a little bluntness. Now back to the question at hand: Would you date you? If you wouldn’t date someone in the condition you’re currently in, then it’s highly unlikely that anyone else would. People generally look for partners who are in good working order. No one is perfect, of course, and no one who wants to be partnered seeks perfection. But you do need to have your shit together to attract someone who has their shit together. If your shit isn’t together, get it together. You don’t have to be an Adonis or financially secure or without challenges, GLC; you just have to be on top of your problems and working to overcome them. So maybe you’re not datable right now. Your goal should be to make yourself datable in two years’ time. Focus on school, look for work, save your money and stay the fuck away from meth and the men who use it. Turn yourself into someone you’d be open to dating—not a perfect person, but a person in good working order—and then you’ll be datable. Is it weird to find cochlear implants (a device for people with profound hearing loss that looks like a plastic circle implanted in their skull) attractive? I don’t know if it’s because I work in a field related to audiology or because it makes them look kind of vulnerable but cool at the same time. I saw two guys in a row this week with them, and I was like, damn. Is this weird? If not, how do I pick these boys up? Love Implant Boys It is weird, LIB, but that shouldn’t stop you from pursuing attractive boys with cochlear implants. And you pick those boys up the same way you pick up boys who don’t have cochlear implants: You smile at them, you talk to them, you flirt with them. If you establish that the attraction is mutual, you hang out, you make out, you fuck ’em silly. You don’t necessarily have to disclose that their cochlear implants were what initially drew your eye, LIB, but be sure to tell them that isn’t the only thing you find attractive about them if you do disclose. I’m writing about the premature ejaculation guy in last week’s column who wanted tricks for guys who are uncut and too sensitive. I’m uncut and the head of my cock was really sensitive, but my problem wasn’t premature ejaculation. As a young man, the head of my penis was so sensitive that sexual contact with anything other than my own hand was unpleasant. Knowing I didn’t want to have an unsatisfying sex life forever, I decided to desensitize my dick. I started by keeping my foreskin retracted in the shower. At first, even water running over it was extremely uncomfortable. Then once that made enough progress, I started keeping my foreskin retracted inside my underwear for as long as I could stand it each day. Eventually things improved to the point that sexual contact with someone else was no longer the challenge it had been. This was a gradual process. I got to do it at my own pace and stopped once the sensitivity level was working for me. Happy To Have A Hoodie Thanks for sharing, HTHAH.

Annual Public Notice of Special Education Services and Programs, Services for Gifted Students, and Services for Protected Handicapped Students Notice to PareNts

According to state and federal special education regulations, annual public notice to parents of children who reside within a school district is required regarding The Philadelphia Public Schools and the Philadelphia Intermediate Unit (IU26) provide special education and related services to resident children with disabilities who are ages three through twenty-one. The purpose of this notice is to describe (1) the types of disabilities that might qualify the child for such programs and services, (2) the special education program and related services that are available, (3) the process by which the public schools screen and evaluate such students to determine eligibility, and (4) the special rights that pertain to such children and their parents or legal guardians.

cHiLDreN serVeD iN sPeciaL eDUcatioN ProGraMs

Special education services are available to children who have one or more of the following physical or mental disabilities: • autism • deaf/blindness • emotional disturbance • hearing impairment, including deafness • mental retardation • multiple disabilities • orthopedic impairment • other health impairment • specific learning disability • speech or language impairment • traumatic brain injury; and • visual impairment, including blindness • developmental delay (in the case of a preschool child)

DescriPtioN oF sPeciaL eDUcatioN ProGraMs

The Public Schools/IU26 provide appropriate special education programs and related services that are: • provided at no cost to parents; • provided under the authority of a school entity, directly, by referral or by contract; • individualized to meet the educational needs of the child; • reasonably calculated to yield meaningful educational benefit and progress and designed to conform to an Individual Education Program. Special education is designed to meet the needs of each eligible student, including specifically designed instruction conducted in the classroom, home, community settings, hospitals, institutions and other settings. Related services are available to students include transportation, corrective and other supportive services that help an eligible student benefit from special education. Examples include: speech pathology and audiology, psychological services, physical and occupational therapy, social work services, school health services, medical services for diagnosis or evaluation, parent counseling and education, recreation counseling services, rehabilitation counseling services and assistive technology services.

reFerraL oF cHiLDreN For screeNiNG aND eVaLUatioN

The Public Schools/IU26 has procedures to identify children needing special education. Those procedures are “screening” and “evaluation.” If a disability is suspected, teachers, other school personnel or parents may refer a child for screening and/or evaluation. Parents suspecting that a child may have a disability and need special education can request a screening or evaluation at any time by contacting their school principal. Screening activities include: reviewing immediately available data sources such as health records, parent interview and history; functional vision and hearing evaluations; determining the student’s response to attempted remediation; and speech and language screenings are completed on request. If the screening leads to a recommendation for evaluation, the evaluation team will conduct the evaluations. No evaluations may be conducted without written parental permission. Consult your school counselor for further information. State and federal law affords many rights and protections to children with disabilities and their parents. A summary of this rights and protections follows. Interested persons may obtain a complete written summary of the rights and protections afforded by the law, together with information about free of low cost legal services and advice, by contacting the special education coordinator or principal of the local public school.

riGHts aND ProtectioNs Prior Written Notice: The public school must notify you in writing whenever it proposes to initiate or to change the identification, evaluation, educational program or place-

ment of a child or whenever it refuses to initiate or make a change in identification, evaluation, educational program, or placement requested by a parent. Such notice must be accompanied by a written description of the reasons for the proposal or refusal, the options considered, if any, and the reason why such options were rejected. consent: The public school cannot proceed with an evaluation or with the initial provision of special education and related services without the written consent of the parent. A public school may not seek a hearing to override the refusal of a parental consent to an initial placement in special education. A public school may override the lack of consent for an initial evaluation by requesting the approval of an impartial hearing officer of judge following a hearing. If the parent fails to respond to a written request for permission to revaluate, however, the public school may proceed the proposed revaluation without consent. Protection in evaluation Procedure: Evaluations to determine eligibility and current need for special education and related services must be administered in a manner that is free of racial, cultural, or linguistic bias. Evaluations cannot consist of a single test or assessment and testing must be a valid measure of the psychological, social, emotional or other learning characteristic or behavior that the school is using it to measure. Testing and assessment must be administered in accordance with professional standards and the criteria established by the publisher. It must be administered in the native language of the child. confidentiality: The records and documents that are part of the evaluation and screening process are confidential and protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). School districts, intermediate units, and charter schools maintain records concerning all children enrolled in the school, including students with disabilities. All records are maintained in the strictest confidentiality. Your consent, or consent of an eligible child who has reached the age of majority under State law, must be obtained before personally identifiable information is released, except as permitted under FERPA. The age of majority in Pennsylvania is 21. Each participating agency must protect the confidentiality of personally identifiable information at collection, storage, disclosure, and destruction stages. One official at each participating agency must assume responsibility for ensuring the confidentiality of any personally identifiable information. Each participating agency must maintain, for public inspection, a current listing of the names and positions of those employees who have access to personally identifiable information. For additional information related to student records, the parent can refer to FERPA. This notice is only a summary of the Special Education services, evaluation and screening activities, and rights and protections pertaining to children with disabilities, children thought to be disabled, and their parents. For more information or to request evaluation or screening of a public or private school child contact the responsible school entity listed below. For preschool age children (ages 3-5), information, screenings and evaluations requested, may be obtained by contacting Elwyn SEEDS at 215-222-8054.

MORE INFORMATION Detailed printed information about available special education services and programs and Philadelphia/IU26 policies are available from the School District/IU26 upon request. Anyone interested should contact the principal of the child’s school. Information and communications are in English, but will be provided in the native language or other modes of communication used by parents, if appropriate.

Philadelphia, PA, September 2014: Irv Starkman first encountered The Resi-

dences at Dockside when the building was being built, back in the early 2000s. “I was living in Cherry Hill and driving into Philly every day for work,” Starkman recalled. “I had been thinking about moving into the city and had looked at some high-rises, but Dockside was intriguing so I decided to take a look. As soon as I saw it, I didn’t have to look any further. I thought, ‘There’s something about this building that I just love.’ I guess you could say that was the beginning of my affair with the building!” The Residences at Dockside has a history of creating that “love-at-first-sight” impression on people. Quietly set on the edge of the Delaware River, the 16-story luxury waterfront condominium has earned a reputation as one of Philadelphia’s most unique residential experiences. Remarkably close to Center City, yet nicely removed from all the “buzz” of the city, The Residences at Dockside offers luxury homes on the water, with a low-maintenance lifestyle and a variety of appealing on-site amenities. Irv Starkman, at home in his two-bedroom luxury condo on the Delaware waterfront at Starkman moved into the building in August 2003 and hasn’t had a regret since. “I The Residences at Dockside looked at maybe ten or twelve other places and nothing compared to what I saw at Dockside,” he continued. “I loved that it was on the water – it feels like you’re living at a resort.” The spacious one, two, and three-bedroom condominium homes feature expansive private terraces, designer kitchens with high-end appliances and granite countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, hardwood floors and generous storage space. The condominiums can also be fully customized to meet buyers’ needs. Residents enjoy gated access, state-of-the-art security, a 24-hour concierge, and ample indoor parking, including reserved spaces and free visitor parking. Prices start from the upper-$200,000s. Homeowners also enjoy spectacular views. “One of my friends came over one night and said, ‘You have a million-dollar view.’,” Starkman shared. “And it really is fabulous. I face the Ben Franklin Bridge, Center City, the Chart House, Penn’s Landing and the Battleship New Jersey. It’s truly incredible.” Homeowners also enjoy unparalleled amenities, including a heated indoor pool, a fitness center with cardio and resistance equipment, a hot tub, and a spacious Club Room for entertaining, which features a full catering kitchen, pool table, grand piano, large-screen TV and adjacent 4,100-square-foot terrace overlooking the river. Located in the center of the thriving Delaware River waterfront, Dockside is a short walk away from Penn’s Landing and close to lots of high-end shopping, restaurants and nightlife. In addition, residents can take a short walk over the South Street Bridge to more great shopping and dining in the city, or take advantage of the free shuttle bus that runs daily from their building to Center City. “Living at Dockside, I’m still in the city, even though it feels like I’m out of the city, being here on the water,” Starkman reflected. “I just love it here.” Visit The Residences at Dockside, located at 717 South Columbus Boulevard. The sales office and model homes are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; and Sundays from 12:00 Noon–5:00 p.m. Phone: 215-925-3000; website: www.DocksideCondominiums.com.
