City Safari: Ruminations about Brian Sims running for Lieutenant Governor in 2022

the woman he defeated was perceived as progressive and open-minded. Babette Josephs had been a familiar—famous-face on Philadelphia streets for years and she had seemed undefeatable — until Sims decided he had to run.

Sims told NBC News in 2018 that when he told Josephs he was planning to challenge her in a primary, she told him to “go f—k himself,” which Sims

says “I even kind of liked.” In explaining that comment, Sims mused, “I have a mouth like a truck driver.” Sims won the district by 233 votes.

Over time, the truck driver in the new state representative became apparent. Not that a big mouth sometimes wasn’t warranted, mind you. After all, being the first out gay state representative comes with various downsides, such as the

The Fencing Academy of Philadelphia – Still sharp!

ho didn’t grow up watching the swashbuckling skills of the Three Musketeers, the Legends of Zorro, Star Wars or any number of pirate movies? We all know the feeling of entering the realm of imagination using a broom stick or tree branch as a sword to mimic such adventures.

For the students of The Fencing Academy of Philadelphia (FAP), these aren’t just dreams, they are realities.

“H

istory,” grumbled Stephen Dedalus, the young antihero of James Joyce’s Ulysses, “is a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken.” The two young artists behind the engaging multimedia art installation currently gracing the Hatfield House would most likely contend that history is a dreamscape from which they can pursue paths into their past and then into the future.

The project is mainly the work of two local artists, Camae Ayewa and Rasheeda Phillips, who partner as a collaborative team under the

As the artists affirm, this project is one way of reasserting agency and forging connections with their past, which is the past of all African Americans.

You could probably take in the three rooms of the installation in half an hour. But this would only provide some intense first impressions. One suggestion I might make is to come for an initial visit, take in the installation on its own terms, let those first impressions percolate, then go back for a second or even third visit. This is the kind of art installation that can reward such repeated viewings.

The Hatfield House is located at the intersection of 33rd Street and West Girard Avenue. It is open Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 – 5:00, through September 19. While no

reservations are required, visitors are admitted on a first-come, first-in basis. Masks are required within the house, though you can remove masks while strolling around the grounds.

One important tip:

The entrance to the Hatfield House property is not easy to find. It is highly advisable to approach from 31st and Girard (32nd Street does not go through to Girard), then drive slowly as the road slopes up towards

33rd Street. Before you actually enter 33rd Street, you’ll see a small path on your left. Take this path and continue a short distance to the small parking area that fronts the Hatfield House.

Arts + Business Council Launches Regional Artist Directory

T

he Arts + Business Council (ABC) announces the launch of its new artist directory. The directory includes local artists from the Greater Philadelphia region, musicians, actors, dancers, cultural organizations, and other professionals in the arts industry. It provides the regional creative community a place to showcase their work to area businesses for corporate events, meetings, and gatherings that can be enhanced through an arts experience, display or entertainment.

The directory is not intended to serve as a marketplace to advertise products or professional services.

“We are so pleased to offer this platform for businesses and patrons of the arts as a way to connect with our region’s extraordinary artists,” said Diana Lind, Executive Director, Arts + Business Council for Greater Philadelphia. “Over the years, we’ve had so much interest in the performances, films and design thinking exercises showcased at our events and we wanted a way to share all this talent. We love how these perfor-

mances can introduce business professionals to artists and vice versa.”

Artists can submit to the directory by first filling out our interest form. Submissions must represent an individual artist, artist group or arts and culture organization from the 11-county Greater Philadelphia region. The Arts + Business Council reviews submissions at its sole

Philly,” said Paul Braham, a youth counselor at Greater Hope. “This program really helped keep a lot of students and counselors off the streets this summer.

They paid counselors a living wage, connected us with great educational opportunities, and taught us self-worth and the importance of understanding our roots as African Americans.”

“This latest round of violence prevention grant funding -- the largest amount we’ve awarded thus far -- makes clear my administration’s steadfast commitment to prevention,” said DA Krasner.

“But we cannot do this alone. Today, some of our grant award recipients joined my challenge to our city’s wealthiest corporate and academic entities to match the $100 million violence prevention funding goal I set earlier this year. The clock is ticking and by meeting this critically important goal and by working together, we can save lives.”

The DAO’s violence prevention grant funding, now totaling over $490,000 since May, is derived from the lawful and appropriate use of civil asset forfeiture, will be distributed and audited by the Philadelphia Foun-

dation. The DAO anticipates announcing the next round of awards in September. Groups interested in applying for future violence prevention funding are strongly encouraged to contact the Philadelphia Foundation at GrantmakingServices@philafound.org.

The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office is the largest prosecutor’s office in Pennsylvania, and one of the largest in the nation.

It serves the more than 1.5 million residents of the City and County of Philadelphia, employing 600 lawyers, detectives, and support staff. The District Attorney’s Office is responsible for the prosecution of approximately 40,000 criminal cases annually.

Those watching the Olympics this year should know that the games weren’t played without an FAP athlete in attendance as a participant. “I had an athlete in Tokyo as an alternate to the team this year,” said Masters. The alternate is the person selected to fill in should one of the members of the fencing team get injured or is otherwise incapable of competing during the games. It is the hope of every fencing alternate to be able to someday become a competitor on the Olympic Team in the future.

This had real significance on the international stage when it comes to the art of fencing.

used in the sport of fencing, but it’s not as simple as just grabbing one and waving it around. There is an art and science to fencing and a lot of discipline and concentration.

“The athlete usually specializes in one of the weapons, there are men’s and women’s, and the personality of the individual matches the personality of the weapon.”

Fencing is often called a physical chess game because there has to be planning and you have to plan your moves ahead of time. You set up a series of actions to trap your opponent for the opportunity to hit him.”

The execution and tactics are a little bit different for each of the various weapons.

Jacob Wischnia has attended FAP as a student and now serves as FAP’s general manager.

“I have actually been fencing at the Academy since I was 8 years old and have been here close to 20 – 25 years, mostly as a student,” said Wischnia. He credits Masters and FAP for making significant improvements in his life.

“Coach Masters helped me go from a mildly dyslexic 8 year with learning and attention issues to getting recruited to the University of Pennsylvania and eventually becoming a two-time All-American, so Maestro Masters and the Academy has very much

helped me throughout my life,” he said.

While much of the attention in American sports goes to sports like football, basketball and baseball, not everyone is interested in team sports.

Some people excel in individual sports. For them, fencing is a great alternative.” says Wischnia.

“I think the greatest impact we have [on athletes] are outside of fencing. I’m not the only student that I know that has had dyslexia and went on to achieve very high level success academically and athletically. It happens all of the time.”

Fencing teaches discipline, focus, determination and strategic thinking outside of the sport as well. “So, what you learn as skills inside of fencing can be applied to anything from academics to employment, to anything.” Wischnia adds.

As for young students, sure, they love the sport but so do the parents who watch their children grow and learn the discipline and maturity

developed by continued participation.

“I am the parent of a long-time fencer who started as a 10 year old and is now 19 and still fencing,” said Philippe Szapary. Not only did Szapary watch his son, Tristan, grow up in the sport but recently began taking up the sport himself. “Like all fencing stories, it began with Star Wars and watching light saber duels got him interested in the ideal of combat,” said Szapary about his son’s early interest in the sport.

However, young Tristan didn’t initially try fencing, but, Karate instead.

“He wasn’t that interested in Karate that much and then I had seen a story that Maestro Master had a club down in West Philly and we live in one of the suburbs of Wynnewood, so it was very convenient for us,” Szapary said. “We tried a couple of lessons and he fell in love right away with the sport.” Not only did he “fall in love” with the sport but he excelled

in it.

“He started out as a beginning fencer and progressed over time as a national and international competitor and, as a parent I’ve been the student of the sport as a spectator for many years and now, once my son graduated and went to college, I decided to try it for myself.”

“I too became a fan of the sport both from the physical and mental perspective. Fencing teaches you both physical fitness perfectly blended with, I call it ‘mental sharpness’ and those things are very attractive to me, and I decided to start it myself as a 54 year old!” said Szapary.

Vaccine clinics, classroom testing coming to Pennsylvania schools, colleges

By Christen Smith The Center Square

P

ublic schools and universities in Pennsylvania will become the latest sites for vaccine clinics and mass testing in a new initiative launched by state health officials this week.

Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam signed an order effective Monday that requires vaccine providers to host immunizations clinics for students, teachers, staff and families at local schools upon request.

Schools and colleges can also participate in weekly “pooled” testing to detect cases of COVID-19 sooner and prevent shutdowns and quarantines that keep students out of the classroom.

Both initiatives will receive funding through federal grants designed to keep public schools operational in the upcoming academic year, especially as children under the age of 12 remain ineligible for the vaccine, Beam said.

“It is imperative that students, educators, and staff who feel they need or want a test, especially if they think they have been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms, have access to free COVID-19 testing,” she said. “In addition to getting vaccinated, this testing initiative is another tool in our toolbox for schools to keep ‘Friday night lights’ shining brightly this year.”

Concentric by Ginkgo Bioworks will offer both mid-nasal swab and saliva-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests to students who volunteer for weekly screening with a turnaround time of 48 hours or less.

Through the use of pooled testing, results won’t be released the Department of Health for individual students, but rather offer a

broader picture of how prevalent COVID-19 is in a classroom or throughout a school building. The $87 million federally-backed endeavor will continue throughout the year, Beam said.

“We built Concentric because everyone’s health is connected and we’re proud to work with school districts across Pennsylvania to support comprehensive testing within school communities,” said Matthew McKnight, chief commercial officer at Ginkgo.

He added that asymptomatic testing provides critical information to decisionmakers tasked with keeping schools safe and operational.

The company has implemented similar programs in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Arizona and North Carolina.

“Each of us at Concentric is committed to supporting communities as they work to keep kids in classrooms and COVID out this fall,” McKnight said.

U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona applauded the initiatives during a news conference Monday in which he recognized Pennsylvania as a leader in school mitigation strategies.

“Pennsylvania, you’re leading the pack in intentional collaboration and ensuring that we do everything in our power to safely open schools,” he said.

“We know that if we can vaccinate those who are 12 and older as soon as possible, it’s more likely that students can have in person instruction uninterrupted.”

The announcement comes as local school districts grapple with reopening plans that balance federal guidance with concerns from parents who remain leery of masking mandates for unvaccinated children.

CITY SAFARI continued from page 1

governor is controversial for one reason and one reason only: his inability to control his temper when it comes to issues he says he is totally committed to. This is unfortunate. A heterosexual man with similar anger control issues would be just as suspect if he did some of the things that Sims has done since he’s been in the legislature.

Let’s review: In 2018, Sims posted a picture of himself giving the middle finger to Mike Pence when the Vice President was visiting Philadelphia. The picture was circulated widely and was praised by many activists, though critics called it silly and said showed the representative’s immaturity.

In many ways, the gesture was indicative of someone who has turned his political beliefs into a religion. Sims, who is agnostic, has said: “I’m the only member of our legislature that doesn’t swear in on a book of faith; I swear in on a copy of the constitution.”

This raises the question: Can a rabid ‘Constitution-thumper’ be just as dangerous as a rabid

self righteous ‘Biblethumper’?

In May 2019, Sims apologized for a string of verbal assaults directed at pro-life activists outside Planned Parenthood at 12th and Locust Streets. Sims filmed himself berating a woman walking by herself and praying, telling her that what she was doing “was not Christian.” (Would a confirmed agnostic really know what was ‘Christian?’)

The state rep then filmed four young teenage women and offered viewers– his fans– $100 if they can identify them. Sims’ tweet on May 2 summed up his beliefs about the protesters: “Push back against Planned Parenthood protestors, PLEASE! They prey on young women, they use white privilege, & shame. They’re racist, classist, bigots who NEED & DESERVE our righteous opposition.

Push back, please!”

USA TODAY published an opinion piece

by Ashley Garecht who recalled what happened outside Planned Parenthood. “We were praying a rosary at the corner of the Planned Parenthood property line when a man approached us,

yelling angrily at me and at the teenage girls with me. I found out later this man was a Pennsylvania state representative, Brian Sims.”

To his credit, Sims apologized for his actions. “I should not have disrespected Planned Parenthood’s policies of not engaging with protesters. For that, I’m absolutely sorry,” Sims said. “My emotions took over because I was, and am, angry.”

In August 2020 Montgomery County State Representative Thomas Murt filed a police report stating that Sims phoned him at home and filled his ear with a “vitriolic, profanity-filled” rant.

Murt says he had no idea what Sims was angry about and that the representative wouldn’t tell him when asked.

Later, Murt assumed Sims’ anger had something to do with an LGBTQ bill that he [Murt] needed co-sponsors for.

But even that was puzzling since Murt claims he and Sims are on the same page when it comes to LGBTQ rights. Murt, feeling fearful that something else would happen, called the Upper Moreland Police, and then contacted Frank

Dermody, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives. Dermody did not pursue the issue and Sims later denied in a tweet that he ever said, “these things to Tom or anyone else.” That tweet was later deleted.

The latest eruption from the representative from Philadelphia occurred when Sims accused House Republicans of knowing a legislator had contracted COVID-19 but not telling fellow Democrats. With

a handful of Democratic colleagues, Sims called for an investigation. But state Attorney General Josh Shapiro did not take up the offer.

“Putting the lives of Members and our families at risk to repeatedly tell the lie that Covid-19 isn’t a risk, while hiding life and death information from us, is beyond all American values, and [as partisan as] I’ve ever contemplated,” Sims stated.

Sims has been quiet

since his COVID-19 outburst which may indicate that he’s finally gotten a handle on his temper.

Sims is now well into planning his 2022 run for lieutenant governor and his campaign Facebook page is filled with congratulatory messages.

“We need adults in the room, and I want to bring bold visionary leadership based on lived experience and shared values to the Commonwealth,” Sims said in a recent video.

Recovery Idol.

And then it hit him: “We created a fashion show that was called ‘Fall into recovery’ and this is where Recovery Idol came into play, almost a spinoff of American Idol but only for people in recovery,” he said.

Those in recovery not only sometimes suffered devastating personal effects such as homelessness, incarceration, broken ties with family members and friends but they also lose their sense of self-worth, and Recovery Idol offers them an opportunity to not only discover their talents but to be a part of something that boosts their esteem and help them feel a part of something significant.

The Dell Music Center is a Philadelphia staple on whose stage appeared some of the greatest entertainers in the world and getting on that stage is no small feat. Asked how he was able to secure the venue, Ford said that including the historic venue was part of his original goals.

“When I came up with the idea of Recovery Idol, I put together a planning committee and the vision was that I wanted to make sure that we would be able to go into the Dell Music Center.”

We’ve all had moments where we’ve felt we didn’t belong. But “Folks were like, for people who moved to this country, that feeling lasts more ‘Rick, that’s virtually than a moment.

Recreation and Facetta Garrison-Greene, Operations Manager of the Dell.

“I told them exactly what the vision was, and we’ve been in the Dell since,” said Ford.

“We’ve been in every other venue around the city including the Freedom Theater, you name it we’ve been there,” he said but the Dell was the place he envisioned for this event, and he got it.

Each year the public responds enthusiastically.

“Not only are the people showing up but folks at the Dell are saying that your audiences here have been bigger than some of the [other] shows at the Dell. That speaks volumes about what Recovery does here in the city of Philadelphia. The crowds show up, it’s free to the public and wonderful staff at the Dell provides us with the same support mechanisms that they provide the top stars: make-up rooms, lighting, we are afforded some of the same stuff as some of the major stars receive when they walk the stage at the Dell.”

This is direct evidence of how much the organizers at the Dell believe in the work of those servicing the needs of recovering addicts in the city of Philadelphia said Ford.

“This has become the premiere event because folks around the nation are now watching what Recovery Idol has done for those who are homeless, seeking recovery and that’s why events like this is so desperately needed,” he said.

One of the judges for the contests leading up to the finals was Tomika McFadden who describes the experience as very emotional. “Watching people connect and have that camaraderie, having a place where they feel safe and then being able to show their talents without judgement. It’s an atmosphere that’s needed, welcomed

Recovery idol Derrick Ford.

and we need more of it,” said McFadden.

McFadden not only saw the contestants compete but noticed something else in the performers as well: “I could tell that the contestants, in their eyes, it was a life changing moment for them. Whether they won, or they didn’t, for them just being able to showcase something other than what recovery is known for, to display their talent, it separated them from I guess the stigma of what recovery has looked like in our communities,” she said.

Behind Recovery Idol is a team of dedicated supporters, participating organizations and volunteers organized by the host group Pennsylvania Alliance of Recovery Residences (PARR) “It gives the contestants to show their talents which they have rediscovered during their recovery,” said Fred Way, PARR Director. “It has helped them on so many levels personally and professionally…Our goal is to make people better, self-sufficient and Recovery Idol actually does that.”

With 16 years in recovery, Deborah Young isj an active volunteer organizer for Recovery Idol, Young sees firsthand the positive role

the Idol plays in the lives of those who participate.

“Derrick Ford puts a lot of his heart into this to give hope and healing to other people in recovery,” said Young. “A lot of people in recovery don’t feel accepted by a lot of people in society and this is a big part for a lot of them who feel that way and that’s really important to a lot of people in recovery.”

“I help out in any way that I can because I believe in it. It’s just such a beautiful thing.

It’s beautiful to see people up there on stage competing against each other but becoming friends and family and the transformation is just amazing,” she said.

The Recovery Idol Finale, talent competition, fashion show and awards presentation will be held this Friday, August 20th at the Dell Music Center located 2400 Strawberry Mansion Drive (33rd and Ridge Avenue).

The show begins at 6:00 pm and continues until 8:00pm. Doors will open at 5:00 pm and the event is FREE to the public.

The show will also broadcast on Facebook live @Philly Recovery Idol.

World Premiere of: Rendezvous in Bangkok…Who Killed Thomas Merton

R

endezvous in Bangkok…Who Killed Thomas Merton, an original play written by local Philadelphia writers Thom Nickels and Sabina Clarke about the life of Thomas Merton an American Trappist monk, writer, theologian, mystic, social activist and author of Seven Story Mountain will make its world premiere at the Commodore John Barry Club, ‘The Irish Center’, 6815 Emlen Street in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia on Sunday, September 26th at 2 PM. Doors open at 3 PM. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the door or in advance by calling

215-843-8051. The production will be followed by a wine and cheese reception and a Q & A session.

Thomas Merton (19151968) was the most influential American Catholic author of the twentieth century. His autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, sold over one million copies and has been translated into over fifteen languages.

Merton was born in Prades, France. His father Owen Merton was a New Zealander and his mother Ruth Jenkins was an American. Both parents were artists and met in Paris, France. His mother died when he was six; his father died

when he was 16 and Merton was left to the care of a guardian.

After a rambunctious youth and adolescence, he converted to Roman Catholicism while a student at Columbia University and on December 10, 1941 entered the Abbey of Gethsemane in Kentucky, a community of monks belonging to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (Trappist’s), the most ascetic Roman Catholic monastic order.

Merton was a harsh critic of the Vietnam War and saw war as the root of all evil. His writings on social issues of the day drew criticism from both Catholics and non-

Catholics who thought a monk should not be involved with issues beyond monastery walls.

He was warned by his Abbot General to stop writing against the Vietnam War and about the threat of nuclear war. He was also warned by the Vatican.

On his first trip to the Far East to attend a conference in Thailand on the feasibility of creating a dialogue between Eastern mysticism and Christianity, Thomas Merton died on December 10th, 1968. His mysterious and sudden death left many questions unanswered.

Department of Health highlights July 2021 nursing home inspection, sanction ported data to the federal regarding guidance proinformation amidst COVID-19 Pandemic government. vided to nursing homes,

H

arrisburg, PA – In its July 2021 report, the Pennsylvania Department of Health notes that nursing home surveyors conducted 466 inspections, including 289 complaint investigations, of 329 separate nursing homes. Of these inspections, 30 were COVID-19-specific investigations. There were five new sanctions finalized against nursing care facilities in the past month resulting in a total of $40,150 in fines.

“Throughout the COVID-19 response, the department has continued to investigate any complaint made to the department to ensure residents receive the best quality of care,” Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said. “We encourage staff, residents and visitors, if you see something, please say something by contacting the department.”

Individuals can file complaints about a nursing home with the department in several ways: anonymously by calling 1-800-254-5164, filling out the online complaint form, emailing c-ncomplai@ pa.gov, or sending the complaint in the mail to the department.

The inspections include information on nursing home patient care and building inspections. If a facility is cited

for not following regulations during the survey, it must submit a plan of correction that includes what will be done to fix the issue(s) and a completion date for the resolution. The department will conduct a surprise follow-up inspection to ensure issues are resolved. Surveys are posted to the website 41 days after the survey is completed.

The Department of Health also conducts surveys on behalf of the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS).

These surveys include federal certification and recertification, complaint surveys, building safety surveys and others.

The department also may issue sanctions that could include a civil penalty, a ban on admissions, a license being revoked, or a facility being put on a provisional license, which requires, among other things, being subject to additional inspections. A provisional license can be renewed no more than three times.

The department can return the facility to a regular license if it is satisfied that all issues have been corrected and it is warranted.

The department maintains a searchable database, which allows the public to view patient care surveys, building safety surveys, size of the nursing home, type

of ownership and additional information about each of the nursing homes in the state. The department oversees 692 nursing homes with more than 88,000 beds in Pennsylvania, in addition to other facilities, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities, home care agencies and others.

The Wolf Administration has taken a three-pillar approach to protecting the vulnerable residents living in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities (LTCF) from COVID-19: Ensuring resident safety through testing, education, and resources; Preventing and mitigating outbreaks; and Working in partnership with state agencies, local health departments and long-term care facility operators.

To best understand COVID-19 impact in nursing homes, the department requires facilities to self-report the cumulative number of cases and deaths of staff and residents to the department. To access that data, along with county level data, visit the department’s LTCF data page.

On August 12, the Department of Health set a minimum goal for all nursing homes to have at least 80 percent of staff fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by Oct. 1, 2021, to help vulnerable resi-

dents. Currently in Pennsylvania, 12.5 percent of facilities have staff vaccinated at or above 80 percent. You can find the vaccination status of all current nursing home staff and residents reported from the nursing home facility to the CMS on our dashboard to easily analyze this self-re-

While residents and staff at skilled nursing facilities are receiving vaccine, it is essential that everyone remain vigilant regarding the potential spread of COVID-19 in congregate care facilities.

You can find the latest guidance on nursing home visitations here.
