ittle brings more satisfaction than landing a job, and less forges more frustration than losing that post soon after its acquisition.

Dickinson Narrows and Pennsport residents are ghting to preserve the existence of a spot they have deemed a park, a title the City has contested. By Joseph Myers

ddressing the reality of appearances, American poet Gertrude Stein famously stated “A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.” Taking up her logic, 30 Dickinson Narrows and Pennsport community members have wondered when a park is not a park, to which the City has said when it is a lot.
The locals hope their eight-month mission to salvage Manton Street Park, 405-11 Manton St., bears figurative fruit, as they plan to have its adjacent garden produce the literal kind. “This situation illustrates some of the communication issues in getting information from City agencies to neighborhoods,” Jessica Calter, a nearly two-year resident of the 400 block of Manton Street, said at Monday’s gathering of group members.
Her referenced matter centers on the classification of the area she and her fellow members of Friends of Manton Street Park and Community Garden want to be a beacon of beauty and camaraderie. They suffered a setback Nov. 23, learning that the City had sold their beloved turf as part of a bundle of empty lots. Parks Coordinator Barbara McCabe told See MANTON STREET page 14

How do you feel about the return of the NBA? “They make too much money. They’re overpaid and they don’t follow through with what they say they’re going to do.� John Mitchell, Broad and Ritner streets
“I can’t wait.�
Corey Keith, 15th and Wharton streets
“I think that with all the money they make and all the fans who provide them with all that money, they shouldn’t have done [things] that way. There are young kids who want to be professional basketball players. There are guys on the bench who would kill to have a chance to get on the floor.

Travesty To the Editor: Nearly 30 years ago, Mumia AbuJamal was found guilty of killing police officer Daniel Faulkner and sentenced to death. Once again, the case has reared its ugly head in the federal appellate court. At crunch time, the federal judges decided to commute his sentence to life without parole. It was quite clear that their minds were made up well before the hearing ever started. Would these same judges raced to indifference had the officer been their son or daughter? The victims, especially his wife Maureen, keep becoming victimized, whereas the perpetrator is rewarded. The law, which was intended to protect the injured, now works in reverse thanks to clueless judges. What’s next, maybe a pardon or a faked illness so he’ll be released? Carlo Gonnella South Philadelphia
The almighty fall To the Editor: The American people told the government not to bail out the mortgage and investment banks with $700 billion tax dollars. The government did it anyway. Government mortgage schemes enforced since the Community Redevelopment Act have collapsed the housing market and imperiled banks. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bought and distributed worthless mortgage-backed-securities worldwide. Wells Fargo said it didn’t need or want bailout money. The government intimidated banks to take the money. The banks paid it back. The government will not say what it did with the funds that were paid back and the media isn’t asking. The reason we are having these problems is we have elected over and over again, and put in power the worst among us. We should discern choices and judge individuals by God’s commandments. “Thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not bear false witness; thou shalt not commit adultery,� from Exodus 20 and Mark 10. Experienced politicians created the mess we are in. President George Washington on Oct. 3, 1789, from New York City, proclaimed a national day of Thanksgiving: “Whereas it is the duty of all
nations to acknowledge the providence of the Almighty God, to obey his will, be grateful for his benefits and humbly implore his protection and favor� ... He also said, “It is impossible to govern righty without God and the Bible.� Americans have been taught with books written by atheists like John Dewey, educator, philosopher and father of American progressive education, and those who understand as
said Joseph Stalin. “America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: Its patriotism, its mortality and its spiritula life. If we can understand these three areas then America will collapse from within. Alfred Essex South Philadelphia Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

even officers were honored for valor, 34 for bravery and 19 for heroism whereas one civilian received the Medal of Excellence at a Dec. 7 ceremony at the Fraternal Order of Police headquarters. In the 17th District, officers Steven Olivieri and Joseph Marrero were recognized with Bravery Awards and Officer Michael Collins was given a Heroism Award while 3rd District Officer Dennis Clair also received a Bravery Award. Clair earned his honor as a result of a Sept. 19 arrest in Dickinson Narrows. He and his partner were working in plain clothes when they tried to stop a trio that matched the descriptions of men responsible for an earlier robbery at Eighth and Morris streets. The officers identified themselves at 1:09 a.m. when Jameel Thomas, then age 18, allegedly ran north on the 1800 block of South Fifth Street. While his partner waited with the other two men, Clair pursued Thomas in his vehicle north on Fifth and west on Moore when Thomas allegedly fired a shot that missed Clair, who then chased Thomas on foot to a backyard of a home on the 500 block of Moore Street where he witnessed Thomas discard the loaded .32 caliber revolver and arrested him. Thomas, now age 19, pled guilty to aggravated assault and possession of a firearm April 18 and will serve four to 10 years in prison.
Entrance-way holdup A pair of men mugged a woman on her Queen Village doorstep Sunday. The 30-year-old was attempting to open her door when two men walked up behind her on the 700 block of South Third Street and put a black handgun to her head at 8:31 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After demanding she turn around, they insisted she hand over her bags, which included her purse that contained two BlackBerry cell phones, an iPad, a wallet with identification, credit cards, passport, jewelry and $40, as well as a black bag filled with clothes. The thieves commanded she run north on Third while they fled south on foot, Tolliver said. The first suspect was described as black,
in his late teens or early 20s and 6-foot-1; having a broad, athletic build; and wearing a black hoody with the hood pulled over his head and a ski mask covering his face. The second offender was described as black, 5-foot-9 and thin; having a silver ring on the right side of his lip; and wearing a read hoody with the hood over her head and light-colored jeans. It was unclear which man was armed. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Funding cuts A man sliced another man’s arm as he attempted to rob him in Bella Vista. The 37-year-old was getting into his car at noon Dec. 8 on the 900 block of East Passyunk Avenue when an unknown man pushed him from behind and demanded cash, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As the man turned around, the offender appeared to have a box cutter that he began to swing around. During a brief struggle, the offender cut the man on his left forearm before fleeing empty-handed in an unspecified direction. The victim was transported to Pennsylvania Hospital where he received five stitches to his arm, Tolliver said. The offender was described as white or Hispanic with a light complexion, in his 20s, 5-foot-9, 180 to 200 pounds; having a medium build; and wearing a blue hoody with the hood tied tightly around his face and blue sweatpants. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Walk-by mugging As a woman attempted to bypass a duo on a Newbold/Point Breeze street, the pair mugged her. The 38-year-old was strolling westbound behind a man and woman on the 1500 block of Morris Street at 6:30 a.m. Dec. 6, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When she started to pass the pair, the man grabbed her and put a silver handgun to her side and ordered his female companion to take her purse. Both offenders had to wrestle away the bag that contained identification, $500 and a laptop. Once they succeeded, the man pushed her
Police Report behind a parked car and told her to remain there until they departed. The man was described as black, age 45 to 50, 5-foot-7, thin and wearing a black jacket while the woman was described as black, age 40 and 5-foot-8; having a heavy build; and wearing a black jacket. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Illegal toll collection A teen robbed a woman while crossing a South of South bridge Monday. The 25-year-old was headed over the South Street Bridge at 12:22 p.m. when an unknown teen pushed her down, swiped her iPad 2 — with blue magnetic cover and “Write something worth reading or do something worth writing” engraved on the back — from her hands, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The woman chased after the man, who hopped in a black sedan — possibly a Pontiac Grand Am — with a spoiler and an unknown Pennsylvania license plate and fled toward the westbound ramp for the Schuylkill Expressway, Tolliver said. The suspect was described as a black or Hispanic man, age 16 or 17 and 5-foot-7; having a round face; and wearing a darkcolored hoody and gray sweatpants. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Hot steal A Newbold pretzel bakery was robbed overnight Thursday. An unknown man entered Philly Soft Pretzel Factory, 1410-12 McKean St.,
A man snatched a woman’s purse as she was walking her dog last week. While walking her canine along the 1200 block of Tasker Street at 6:50 p.m. Dec. 8, an unknown man pulled on the 40-yearold’s purse that contained her wallet, credit cards, orange Samsung cell phone and silver iPod nano, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The two struggled until the purse strap snapped and the thief fled eastbound on Tasker. The offender was described as Asian or Hispanic, in his 20s, thin to medium build and wearing a dark-colored sweatshirt. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Tag-teamed A duo held up a man at gunpoint on a West Passyunk street. A 24-year-old man was walking east on the 1900 block of Mifflin Street when two unknown males ran up behind him at 3:59 a.m. Dec. 6, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One perpetrator, who was armed with a small, black revolver, yelled “give it up” as his accomplice fumbled through the man’s pockets to retrieve a Sprint HTC EVO Shift cell phone and black wallet. The pair fled west on Mifflin leaving the man unharmed, Tolliver said. The armed man was described as black, in his 20s, 5-foot-10 to 5-foot-11, thin and wearing a black hoody while the other man was described as black, in his 20s and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9; having a stocky build; and wearing a gray shirt.

A conversation with an unknown man turned into an attempted theft in West Passyunk Friday. While a 24-year-old woman was walking westbound on the 1800 block of West Passyunk Avenue at 2:13 a.m., an unknown man started to converse with her, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

Two other men who heard the commotion ran toward her and the offender fled south on 18th Street without her belongings. The suspect was described as black with a medium complexion, age 20 to 25, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 and wearing a gray sweatshirt and blue hat.

News
DIXON HOUSE continued from page 1 ties, the 93-year-old site typically assists more than 3,000 annual participants eager for answers. Last week’s event welcomed a fervent crowd coveting solutions to a troubling occupational oddity that strikes Philadelphia, namely, a lack of workforce programs for helping people to retain and progress in their jobs. The Federation of Neighborhood Centers oversaw the gathering and will manage the Career Support Network with Center City neighbors Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and the Job Opportunity Investment Network. “It is great to see systems and institutions working together to help families, the cornerstones of all neighborhoods, to obtain economic stability,” Mitch Little, Diversified’s deputy director, said. According to figures from the U.S. Census and Center City’s Philadelphia Workforce Investment Board, whose senior associate for strategy and innovation, Sue Hoffman, sat on the day’s panel, 41 percent of working-age adults are unemployed, 40 percent of employed individuals do not earn family-sustaining wages and 50 percent of low-skilled workers fortunate to find work become unemployed within one year, Diane Cornman-Levy, the federation’s executive director, said. Cornman-Levy and her allies, with contributions from numerous foundations that bring the network’s allotment to $850,000, want to energize people by suppressing the barriers to prolonged, viable employment, which they have determined are a dearth of peer support, mental and physical health problems, pressing family needs and unreliable transportation. The federation, which counts Point Breeze among its 45 aided neighborhoods, is countering those travails with a network of offerings, including counseling and job training. “The task possesses difficulty,” Jennie Sparandara, Job Opportunity Investment Network’s director, said to the few dozen attendees, “but it is worth it to find new ways to address vexing problems.” Jerry Tapley has seen similarly ambitious endeavors fail yet sees this model as more powerful because it features a widened conglomerate of career support advocates. “I know all about unsuccessful programs and ones that have made modifications yet produced little,” the federation’s chief operating officer said. The unified representatives — including Jefferson’s Dr. James Plumb, whose employer is hoping to quell the targeted population’s struggles with asthma, diabetes, hypertension and obesity; and Pennsylvania Horticultural Society project manager Francis Lawn, who is running a program for exoffenders — have ample resources, yet they
Members of the Career Support Network team joined with Point Breeze resident David Dennis, far right, to discuss means to assist low-skilled workers.

know what they must generate matters as much as, if not more than, their means. “We need familiarity to establish trust and trust to remove reservation,” Tapley said. To ease trepidation, the Career Support Network heads will design employer advisory boards from which they will collect data to determine the most advantageous strategies and will speak with participants and supervisors to bolster the city’s overall job and quality of life statuses. “The public workforce system recognizes the needs for enhanced support services to help Philadelphians build skills to find, keep and advance in their jobs,” Hoffman said. With help from her company, David Dennis has become a star. For the last two years, with the federation as manager and Diversified’s funder, it has overseen the Neighborhood Green Job Readiness Partnership. Dennis became reacquainted with Dixon House last week, as he graduated from one of its 2010 initiatives. The ensuing months have proven kind to him, as he has earned six certifications and a teaching position at North Philly’s Energy Coordinating Agency. Unemployed before enrolling, he credits the federation’s existing relationships for helping him and expects new unions to guide thousands to improved productivity and larger paychecks. “The help I received provided a pathway of hope,” the resident of 22nd and Wharton streets said. “I realized a job would not be good enough for me and my family. I needed a career.”
Teeming with optimism, he constructed ideas of starting a business, seeking to use his green acumen to better not only his pockets but also the property value of as many homes as possible. “I have become so ambitious. Therefore, after I make every house in Philadelphia energy efficient, I’ll be moving abroad,” he said as the small crowd joined in laughter. THE FEDERATION INTERACTS with 10 community-based institutions tasked with offering culturally sensitive programs and services to more than 25,000 disadvantaged children, adults and families. More than 8,000 of those parties find aid through Diversified, which incorporated in 1968 and runs Dixon House; the Mamie Nichols Center from its headquarters; Dixon Learning Academy, 2201 Moore St.; Western Learning Center, 1613 South St.; and out-of-school time programs at Delaplaine McDaniel School, 1801 S. 22nd St., and Universal Vare Charter Middle School, 2100 S. 24th St. Dixon House abounds with bodies that come to partake in its community forums, receive health services, enjoy social events, use its computer lab, obtain housing counseling and gain tips through its parenting education program. The network’s outreach may be in its infancy as it helps Dixon House and North Philly’s Lutheran Settlement House to build thriving areas, but Southwest Philly’s Wayne Byrd has already proven it prosperous. Six months removed from time in Georgia, he
called upon Dixon House to rejuvenate his health-care career. “I was doing odd jobs, whatever really,” he said of keeping the wolf from the door. With his brother’s prodding, he decided to make the idiomatic animal a memory by venturing to Dixon House to see how the Career Support Network could give him help so he could spread it to others as a Certified Nursing Assistant. “Before coming to the CSN, I wasn’t able to get the necessary physical assessments and tuberculosis testing to apply for a position because I did not have insurance,” he said. “The staff was able to connect me to a free resource that completed the assessments and testing.” Byrd so desired to maximize its assistance that he walked to South Philly, often arriving at Dixon House before it opened. The facility’s graduation ceremony honored Byrd for his fortitude Dec. 8, and he began a job with Northeast Philly’s CAS Homes Health Care Tuesday. His position will help him to acquire the family-sustaining wages the Career Support Network hopes will become everyone’s. “All I had to do was to believe in myself again,” Byrd said. “Everyone else took care of the rest.” SPR For more information, visit foundationnc.org or call 215-989-3566.

MANTON STREET continued from page 1 them in June that the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department had the expanse listed in its inventory, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Michael DiBerardinis said, so Calter and Mark Berman, a 15-year inhabitant of the 300 block of Manton Street, made the month their outreach time for rectifying its aesthetics. More than 50 years old, it had become a victim of illegality, neglect and trash. A razed house on its adjoining lot complicated the scenery, with broken brick retaining walls, dirt mounds, ivy and litter abounding, Berman, the two-month-old friends’ president, said. “We were just trying to find a solution,” he said. He and Calter met with volunteers June 18 to commence beautifying the space that received help from the hands of 15 children, too. That meeting came, they claim, one month after 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco staffer Nick Schmanek gave verbal approval to rehabilitate the park and build a community garden. Attempts to contact DiCicco’s office were unsuccessful. Eager to show civic pride, the enthused dwellers participated in Sept. 10’s inaugural South Philly Garden Tour. Unbeknownst to them, the City began to sell the disputed area, though not the garden, which the Redevelopment Authority owns, after Mayor Michael Nutter signed an ordinance July 19, which DiCicco introduced May 12 and City Council passed June 16, with their haven joining a nearby lot on an auction blotter Oct. 7. “For the tour, we were a work in progress but were proud enough to show the improvements,” Calter said. Their pride led her to invite DiCicco to see their labors’ results. His office vowed he would make an October stop, Calter said but it was not the case. The group instead welcomed his soon-to-be successor, Mark Squilla, a resident of Front Street and Snyder Avenue, who commended the progress. “I am a supporter of their work,” Squilla said Wednesday. “The area is a neat community builder, and the sweat equity they have put in has been second to none.” The Manton crew weeded and constructed 10 garden beds on the adjoining lot Nov. 5 for LOVE Your Park Day, a combined ventured by the Parks and Recreation Department, the Fairmount Park Conservancy and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Five days later, some space tenders saw surveyors canvassing the stretch.With letters to DiCicco and Nutter earning no responses, Berman contacted the Office of Housing and Community Development Nov. 14, discovering the entity was not the owner of the property, which property records dubbed it was, along with calling it an “amusement

city park.” Additional surveyor sightings spurred more letters and calls, with the chain of correspondences leading him to the Office of Public Property. A representative told him Nov. 23 that the space was under contract; that the City owned the land, never intending it as a park and that property records contained outdated, unreliable information, DiBerardinis said. Post-Thanksgiving, McCabe confirmed the use of a 1998 database in granting permission to tackle the renovation. “We were definitely frustrated to learn that,” Calter said of the mix-up. “Our understanding had been that it was a City park.”
block of South Fourth Street, obtaining a copy of the ordinance. That day, the friends group also met with Parks and Recreation Commissioner Michael DiBerardinis, who notified them of the Land Protection Ordinance that spares properties owned by the City prior to 2009 from alteration. Hope sank again when Berman learned the measure did not apply to Manton Street Park because of a decade of sales. City Council-at-Large Jim Kenney’s office divulged the same day that the City sold the lot to the Redevelopment Authority June 10, 2001 for $1, removing it from Parks & Rec’s inventory, Richard Lazer, Kenney’s special project coordinator, said. On June 20, it became the property of the Jefferson Square Community Development Corp., active in the upkeep of Jefferson Square Park, 300 Washington Ave., for $1, too, but development did not

occur, and another $1 sale occurred Oct. 15 of last year, with the City making the purchase. Considering an injunction to block the sale, the Friends submitted an Open Public Records Act request to the aforementioned agencies and Licenses & Inspections last month. They discovered that KJO Design & Planning’s Kevin O’Neill applied for a zoning permit to build a trio a single-family homes on 409-13 Manton St. Oct. 21, Maura Kennedy, Licenses & Inspections Director of Strategic Initiatives said, yet Calter said that a final agreement of sale has not occurred. While many of the friends’ members had been strangers to Calter prior to June, she said they do not oppose overall development in Dickinson Narrows as they want construction to occur nearby. “We think it would be wonderful to have full rows of homes and a pocket park,” she said. A desired holiday fundraiser became a rally to halt the sale Dec. 4. Two days later, a meeting with DiCicco furthered their goal of being property protectors. They have begun to try to acquire the garden area from the Redevelopment Authority and have decorated its nearby fencing with a forthright sign declaring “Reclaimed & maintained by the Friends of Manton Street Park and Community Garden.” The Friends have freedom to pass through the debated zone, which they did Monday evening for a briefing on the latest news. DiCicco’s office promised them a resolution by the end of the year, Calter said, with her hearing that something in everybody’s best interest would result. The night’s chills seemed to give way to a wave of warn sentiment, as the group pondered hearing a beneficial announcement. “We would like to do more landscaping and upgrade the fencing,” Fritz Dietel, of the 1200 block of South Second Street, whose daughters, Emma, 12, and Anna, 9, have assisted with maintenance, said. The evening attendees stressed the communal joy the reparations have rendered, with Michael Oscapinski eager to treat the Manton Street spot like an artist’s canvas. “We could do so much, possibly making it a multi-functioning room,” the resident of the 300 block of Manton Street said. He and Berman are Pennsporters, yet geography, they said, should never matter when aiming to improve a city’s green space. “It makes us feel great to know we could soon have fantastic news,” Berman said. If it comes, Calter will enjoy another chance to perform her unofficial speaking duties. “When I moved here, I did not enjoy looking across the street,” she said. “Now I know and believe in its potential.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

A Passyunk Square resident takes the stage — or rather descends on it — as Charlotte the spider in the Arden Theatre Co.’s family-friendly production. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
I
AubieMerrylees,ofLowerMoyamensing, portrays Wilbur in the latest Arden Children’s Theatre production. Photos Provided by Mark Garvin
n her newest role, Sarah Gliko enters the stage by descending from the ceiling. And she’s playing a spider. “The more I did it the more comfortable I became. It’s my favorite part of the show,” Gliko of 10th and Dickinson streets said. “I don’t think I will ever top this entrance in my career — in my life.” Gliko is Charlotte of the classic children’s tale “Charlotte’s Web,” running at the Arden Theatre until Jan. 29. Opposite her is Lower Moyamensing’s Aubie Merrylees, of 10th and Winton streets, who takes on the task of bringing Charlotte’s unlikely friend Wilbur, a pig, to life. “I never worked with him. I was a big fan. I saw him — he was in a production called ‘The Aliens’ at Theater Exile earlier this season and I was like, ‘that’s my Wilbur.’ I couldn’t be happier,” she said. “He’s so lovely, so easy to work with. He’s one of the best stage partners I’ve ever had.” The production brings the farm world of these animals to the forefront, including Charlotte’s “spidey” ways. The main setting of the barn features untreated wood and the show uses real vegetables, milk and soil to enrich the stage life. “It’s all real simple. It’s like a piece, a little slice, of farm
life we are giving to [the audience],” Gliko said. “It’s stuff a city or suburb kid might not experience otherwise.” Part of the Arden programming includes talkbacks after the production where attendees get to meet the artists and ask questions. “I was worried about the response to Charlotte because she is portrayed darker and more removed, but they love her,” Gliko, 32, said. “Like everybody says, that it really is the most rewarding part — getting to go back and shake their hands and hug them.” Gliko, who has done a lot of children’s theater throughout her career, thinks that her youngest fans bring a different intensity to the shows than she’s felt in a traditional drama. “The audience that is there, it’s a huge living presence that is hard to ignore. In a regular show it’s hard, but in this respect they are exuding so much energy and sometimes it’s quiet, sometimes very vocal, and they are feeding you and you’re feeding them,” Gliko said. “The dialogue is ongoing the whole time. “It’s very freeing and really rewarding, too. They are so uninhibited. They repeat what you say and laugh louder or gasp. They’re so honest it becomes a dialogue with the actor’s on stage.” These young theatergoers always manage to inspire and reward Gliko. In this production, they managed to surprise
Lifestyles her, too. “[The reception] has been incredible. We — originally, we were all joking around backstage that when Charlotte came down, the kids were going to freak out and lose their minds,” Gliko said of rehearsals. “As soon as I came down, they went completely quiet. You could hear a pin drop, feel the energy, that they were sitting up in their seats. It was a quiet theater and the exact opposite of what we were anticipating.” GLIKO WAS BORN in Montana, but moved to the Philly suburbs before she hit her first birthday. “I grew up in a very musical family. My parents and my brothers were all musicians. My uncles are musical, as well, so that was sort of where it started. I started playing an instrument before I was acting,” Gliko said. In “Charlotte’s Web,” Gliko plays her instrument of choice, which is the flute, but she also learned the piano, guitar, saxophone and a few other “derivations,” such as the accordion. It didn’t take long for Gliko to transition from music to theater. “I started acting when I was in seventh-grade and my friends were going out to audition for the school play. I
wasn’t interested, but they were like, ‘I want you to go with me, it’ll be fine,’” she said. “I auditioned and I didn’t get the part and I got really upset. And I was like, ‘why am I so upset? I didn’t want this anyway.’ “That summer I enrolled in a children’s theater camp because I realized I really do care and I do want to do this.” After high school, Gliko continued theater and vocal studies and moved to Brooklyn, N.Y. to pursue the craft fulltime. While she was making headway in the New York scene, she began to get multiple parts in Philadelphia and after five years, decided all the signs were pointing to coming home. “In Philly, I think we are so lucky. There are so many professional houses here, some big established theaters, then you also have smaller companies that do all these world premieres or Philly premieres,” she said. “There is a lot of support here in Philly that you don’t necessarily have in New York.” Coming back in 2006, she eventually found her way to Passyunk Square nearly two years ago. “South Philly is pretty much everyone I meet in the theater community. I find out I live two blocks from them,” she said. “It’s an amazing feel-

When “Charlotte’s Mark Garvin Web” finishes its run Jan. 29, Gliko will be switching gears to perform in New City Stage Co. production “Terrorism” at the Adrienne Theater and by March, she’ll be performing in “Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story” at the Walnut Street Theatre. Before she moves on, she has more than a month to continue descending down the walls of the Arden for wide-eyed children as Charlotte. “I think it is such a refreshing production and one where you are using your imagination and you are completely engaged without knowing that you are,” Gliko said of “Charlotte’s Web.” “We don’t have crazy costumes, the set is very simple and real. I just think this production, the story and the characters shine through in a really special way.” SPR

Oh Canada
W
hile our eyes have been focused on the immigration threat from south of the border, my informants say the real threat to the American way of life comes from Canada. This is not a laughing matter. This is a warning you should heed, especially if you are a hockey fan. We are being overrun by Canadians. It is easy to dismiss the Canadian threat because they look like us and speak English. These foreigners are polluting our culture. An ingenious Canadian devised ice hockey so his country could excel at something besides maple syrup. At first, the NHL was content with six franchises as the Montreal Canadiens kept winning championships. We did see highlights in our movie theaters, but Americans didn’t know Maurice Richard from Little Richard. That funny looking trophy they called the Stanley Cup looked like somebody’s version of the Holy Grail on steroids. Canada used hockey like the Trojans used a wooden horse. Soon there were NHL teams throughout our country. It was clear Canada sought world domination. Why else place franchises in San Jose, Calif., and Columbus, Ohio? White kids began playing hockey instead of basketball simply because they couldn’t dunk. Even some African Americans have been seduced into donning skates, which pretty much ends Caucasian dreams of dominating winter sports in this country. You want proof that hockey is a threat to our culture? Hockey has European origins. Those sissy Europeans who can’t play a real sport like football (and insist on calling their soccer “football”) have found a way to undermine the essence of American exceptionalism. They failed with soccer, but hockey has been their triumphant weapon. Ice hockey is the creeping harbinger of socialism taking over this good nation. For all too long we have ignored the insidious threat from Canada. We were able to tolerate its maple syrup and Canadian bacon. Hell, we took its pure maple syrup and diluted it with corn syrup, cane sugar and artificial coloring and flavoring and soon our own Mrs. Butterworth was dominating the market. As for its Canadian bacon, any good American knows it isn’t really bacon at all, but ham cut into round slices. I think Canada really made its move when it exported its entertainers. It was bad enough when they sent jazz pianist Oscar Peterson across our border.
At least he stuck to playing the piano without getting into our politics. You didn’t find him playing protest songs; he played stuff like “Satin Doll.” Nobody ever accused that song of encouraging us to overthrow capitalism. Besides Duke Ellington, a nonthreatening African-American who often wore black tie and tails and told us, “I love you madly,” wrote the jazz standard. It was when those damn folk singers started to infiltrate America that the threat should have become evident. None of our kids realize Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and k.d. lang are Canadians. Why should Joni Mitchell be allowed to sing those subversive songs with lyrics like “they paved paradise and put up a parking lot” on American radio? Canada wants to turn our great American cities with their parking lots into one of their hick towns like Flim Flam. It’s easy for Joni to criticize parking lots because in Flim Flam, moose don’t need parking lots. Then there’s Young with his anti-war, George-Bush-hating songs and environmental nonsense. Who is Young to tell an American president which country he can bomb? And he collects royalties from America, too. We have been wearing blindfolds and it’s time to wake up. Why should any American be drinking Molson’s or Labatt’s beer when there are good-old-American beers like Bud, Miller and Coors? We are sending American jobs to Canada when we drink its beer. It is time that we build an electrified fence around our northern border. Good Americans are under siege in Buffalo and Seattle. Their mayors are asking the president to provide federal protection. Credit the Republicans for recognizing Canadians coming across the border are as much a threat as Mexicans. And don’t forget, Canadians don’t pick our fruit, landscape our gardens or act as nannys for our kids. They think they’re too good for these lowpaying jobs. And it isn’t Mexico that sends its geese over here to screw up the engines on our commercial air flights. I suggest we add another section to Homeland Security just to monitor the Canadian threat. We need a little profiling here. Even though they speak English, if you listen closely they usually add an “eh” at the end of their sentences and wear plaid-colored flannel shirts, even in summer. Engage them in conversation to trick them up. Ask “can you identify the starters on the Toronto Maple Leafs?” or “define Canuck.” Correct answers are sure giveaways. And please, don’t let these Canadians convince you about their superior healthcare coverage or how logging is a great life. Before you know it, your favorite channel will be Versus.

Renderings of a classic
George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) and Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) are in the entertainment business during the transition from silent movies to audible films.
R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
T
here are virtually no limits to the appeal and accessibility of “The Artist,” the French-made, silent, blackand-white Hollywood homage that debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and is now gobbling up critics’ awards left and right. Naysayers accuse the film of being out of touch with its era (the transition from silents to talkies circa 1930), but “The Artist,” in all its relentless, romanticized charm, has little interest in being a historical record. Timelessness is its goal — the enduring ability of fundamentally, modestly dazzling images to captivate, and the undying, universal power of visual narrative. It is with great irony that it emerges as one of the most artistically relevant movies of the year, a perfect commentary on the barreling forward of new-now-next technology, and how the virtues of a diverse media climate are often trampled amid the frenzy over the latest flashy thing. That it even exists in an industry dominated by 3-D ticket sales and intangible home video options is some kind of miracle, and its viral popularity is most certainly a testament to the necessity of a full and varied movie menu, with stripped-down throwbacks offered alongside the usual computer graphic spectacles. Written and directed by the Oscarbound Michel Hazanavicius, “The Artist” is a comedy and a tragedy. It tells of silent superstar George Valentin (Jean Dujardin), an expert ham with a megawatt smile who finds himself obsolete when sound films storm Tinseltown. The object of his affection and aggravation is Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo), a beautiful fan who parlays a walk-on dancing role into
a career as the ultra-popular poster gal of the newly audible industry. The forging of the couple’s bond coincides with George’s detachment from his old life, and the ample laughs are ever-paired with the inexorable march of time. What results is something of such multifaceted pleasure, it’s hard to organize the wonders in your head. Nostalgic, relevant, hilarious, sad, smart, and very beautiful, “The Artist” is movie euphoria. Don’t bother arranging post-screening transportation; You’ll be carried home on a cloud.
The Artist PG-13 Four reels out of four Opens Dec. 23 at the Ritz Five
Recommended Rental Midnight in Paris PG-13 Available Tuesday In the grand tradition of his own masterpiece “Manhattan,” Woody Allen serves up a love letter to a city with “Midnight in Paris,” a coming-of-middle-age dramedy and cultural treasure trove that sees a lost writer (Owen Wilson) find inspiration and kinship with some of the greatest creative minds of the 20th century. An ode to learning from the past, but not living in it, the star-studded movie has magic to burn.

ecember can get pretty busy very quickly. After a tough day of work and spending some time purchasing holidays gifts, Marie Regalbuto’s Oven Chicken and Potatoes is the perfect way to still have a home-cooked meal during these hectic days. The resident of the 1300 block of South Fairhill Street’s meal takes less than an hour to bake. Just pop the bird in the oven and there is still time to wrap a few presents before dinner is ready. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.
Marie’s Oven Chicken and Potatoes INGREDIENTS:
1 small onion, chopped 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1 garlic clove, chopped 1 teaspoon of basil 1/2 teaspoon of oregano 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper pper 5 potatoes, peeled and cut into small wedges 5 carrots, peeled and cut 1 chicken, quartered (or just thighs or breast)

American Sardine Bar By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
I
t was a dark and stormy night. A longstanding restaurant critic, her husband and big sister walk into American Sardine Bar at 18th and Federal streets. Seated at the bar is a congenial crowd lifting a few pints and nibbling on sandwiches, onion rings and fries. Every seat was occupied, which was fine with my sister Sandy, who puts up a fuss if she is forced to eat at the bar. We found one vacant table for four in the back of this delightful new spot. We settled in and I read aloud from the limited but nicely planned blackboard menu. I shall tell you straight away, dear readers, the harried waitress truly needed some aid, so Chef Scott Schroeder helped to serve soups and sandwiches to patrons and recognized me because Edward and I have enjoyed a number of dinners at the South Philadelphia Tap Room, 1509 Mifflin St. where he orchestrates fresh, seasonal ingredients with the ease of a maestro. That said, on to dinner. We waited more than 20 minutes for big bowls of homemade, steaming soup that are heated to order. Edward’s vegetarian cream of broccoli ($5) was brimming with bite-size broccoli pieces floating in a vegetable stock laced with the right touch of cream. Jewish chicken noodle soup ($6) was a triumph. It was almost as fine as mine. Unfortunately, there was too little stock and too many noodles, tender chicken shreds and vegetables. It was more of a stew than a soup. That’s when Schroeder came downCoffee/Café/Sweets

stairs with two mugs filled with rich, hot stock and recognized me. Portions were so generous, I toted some home for lunch. I sipped a Rob Roy while Edward enjoyed a pint of Stoudt’s. I discovered a Pittsburgh cheesesteak is a cheesesteak smothered in cole slaw and French fries. My stomach turned as soon as I visualized it. Our server told me she would ask to have the fries and slaw served on the side. My cheesesteak ($12) arrived smothered in the aforementioned sides. It was whisked away and freshly prepared. This hefty sandwich was a delight. The beef was overly seasoned to my taste, sliced thin and piled high on a long hoagie roll. Do not for one moment think you will receive inexpensive chipped steak beef — not that there is anything wrong with that. I thought the salt and pepper fries were too salty and contained way too much pepper but I liked the coleslaw. It was not swimming in mayonnaise. A slightly salty, crunchy pickle spear came with dinner. You must order the beer-battered fried onion rings ($6). They were about the best you can get. Schroeder dredges thick onion rings into a flavorful beer batter and crisp fries them until golden. It was obviously fresh oil used in the frying process. All they required was a shaking of salt. Pulled pork is a staple in South Philly pubs. We were curious to sample Schroeder’s version of this classic sandwich ($8). Pork shoulder spends some time in Walt Wit and is braised to perfection. I thought

the use of boursin cheese as a topping was a little quirky, but you never know what Schroeder has up his culinary sleeve. I’m a purist and prefer sharp provolone. Edward found the pork too salty. Sandy had a hard time choosing something to eat. She nixed a falafel, grilled chicken sandwich — and don’t think for a second she would take a bite of braised pork. Our server told us the grilled cheese comes on marble rye. I love marble rye. The blackboard menu states “Jack Bosch Grilled Cheese.” I thought Jack Bosch could be a form of cheddar I never heard of. The sandwich ($7) was made with American cheese, which Sandy loves. It was topped with tomatoes and onions, which she does not love. The menu should have stated this. The caring manager asked Schroeder to prepare a plain grilled cheese. It was not Jewish deli marble rye,

Before breaking out the dreidel, use Claudia Roden’s “The Food of Spain” as a culinary guide for blending European flavors with a sprinkling of festive fun. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
H
anukkah, the Festival of Lights, begins Tuesday at sundown. It is a relatively minor holiday which commemorates the rededication of the temple by the Maccabees after Judah Maccabee, known as “The Hammer,” and his band of brothers defeated the Syrians. The eight-day festival is filled with good food, games — especially spin the dreidel — and song. Fried foods take pride of place as the holiday recalls the miracle of the oil. The eternal light, which hung over the ark, had enough oil for one night. But, a miracle occurred and the lamp burned bright for eight nights. It is customary to place the menorah in a window so the bright flickering lights play off the dark of winter. I pull out the one from my childhood, give it a good polish and take a candle inventory. If you are still searching for gifts, Claudia Roden is one of the world’s finest culinary historians. Her new book, “The Food of Spain,” is one I urge you to purchase for yourself and all of the serious cooks on your list. Roden is a Sephardic Jew and the author of “The Book of Jewish Food.” It is the finest book on Jewish cuisine ever published on this subject and won the prestigious James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year. Spain’s cuisine has been popular ever since chef Ferran Adria, the father of molecular gastronomy and inventor of culinary foam, closed El Bulli, his famed restaurant in Spain. Until last summer, scores of people, especially chefs, made the pil-
grimage to see the master and dine on his creations. “This excellent book reflects all of Spain’s richness,” he wrote. You will learn much about the history, culture and cuisines of the country’s regions. The recipes are easy to follow and there are few exotic ingredients. Roden offers a list of companies which specialize in Spanish ingredients and products. “The Food of Spain” is more than 600 pages and is filled with eye-candy, fullcolor photographs. Roden leads you by the hand and eye throughout her travels. Jewish culinary influence was prevalent in Spain before 1492 but many dishes still reflect the Judaic influence. I’ve never been to Spain but I’m ready to book a flight straight away. Here are recipes for Hanukkah from “The Food of Spain” by Claudia Roden.
■ Eggplant Fritters ■ with Honey Ingredients:
2 eggplants, (about 1.25 pounds), peeled and cut into one-third-inch slices About 2 cups whole milk, to soak the eggplant slices Flour for dredging Salt, to taste Olive or sunflower oil for deep-frying Orange blossom honey or other aromatic honey, to taste
Directions: Put the eggplants in a bowl, add enough milk to cover, and put a small plate on top
to hold them down. Let them soak for about one hour and drain. Cover a plate with plenty of the flour mixed with a sprinkling of the salt. Working in batches, turn the slices in this so that they are entirely covered with the flour and shake to remove excess. Deepfry the eggplant in sizzling but not too hot oil, turning the slices over as soon as the first side is brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the honey. Serves four to five. Note from Phyllis: Eggplant Fritters are a tasty alternative to potato latkes.
■ Fried Goat Cheese ■ with Honey Ingredients:
Fine matzo meal 2 large egg yolks 4 slices of firm goat cheese, about onethird-inch thick 2 tablespoons of olive oil for frying
Orange blossom honey to pass around
Directions: Put a good layer of the matzo meal on a plate. Lightly beat the yolks in a shallow soup plate. Working in batches, turn the slices of cheese in the yolks, using your fingers to cover them well, being careful not to break them. Lay the cheese on top of the matzo meal and sprinkle with additional matzo meal so that the slices are well covered. Fry the slices in medium-hot oil in a nonstick skillet, turning them over very carefully with a spatula, until golden on both sides, for about one minute on each side. Serve immediately with the honey. Serves four. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I DECEMBER 15, 2011
Not only has Hot Waves USA been featured in publications including the international Passion Magazine and the local Philadelphia and Row Home Magazines and Philadelphia Weekly, its team of exceptional stylists have won the Slick 2000, The Hair Ball and Hope Cuts competitions in the Tri State area. And, the Philadelphia Review selected Hot Waves as the “number one salon to visit” several times over!
then moved to Reading, Pennsylvania, where her education in hair design grew considerably. This wealth of knowledge in salon work led her to train stylists in the United States and abroad where she instructed them on the latest trends and techniques the industry had to offer. She continues to be sought after by other salon owners for training, mentoring and motivational speaking to lift their staffs and improve their business.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): There is no stopping you from picking up an attractive item for the home. If looking at something on an online auction site, you become determined to win the bid. Lucky number: 824. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): It’s possible to accomplish a lot around the house. Fix-it projects will benefit from your energy and perseverance. If help is needed, loved ones or a roommate will step up. Lucky number: 293. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): An optimistic outlook will have you freely spending money on entertainment. Even if you go over budget, it’s doubtful this good mood will become spoiled. Lucky number: 679. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): You are not shy about initiating a flirtation with an attractive person. Your words may woo this dreamboat into accepting a date. Those who are spoken for will feel more compelled to be direct with their affection. Lucky number: 121. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Professional accomplishments will make you feel on top of the world. Recognition may be part of the package. You will enjoy the kudos, but the intrinsic rewards are more satisfying. Lucky number: 702. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): Take the leadership role if asked. Individual confidence is high and efforts to motivate the group go your way. Lucky number: 587. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): It won’t matter if there are educational gaps. You will feel secure in the inner-knowledge that you possess. Be wary of insisting that everyone shares your views. Lucky number: 063. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): You may be the one to head up a volunteer force. This could involve a charitable project or a vocation outside the normal work sphere. Recruiting people is productive in the morning. Lucky number: 438. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): A meeting or gathering will have you speaking about the day’s issues. You won’t be shy about expressing opinions and fellow participants will appreciate the candor. Lucky number: 164. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Having good friends in life makes this a happy time. Sharing what you treasure most with others may make it an even better day. Someone dear may need a cash gift. Lucky number: 357. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): An ease with communication has you speaking up while out and about. You won’t clam up or agree just for the sake of peace during conversations. People will respect your honesty. Lucky number: 956. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Someone becomes the recipient of your verbal generosity. Complimenting people you encounter makes you a popular person, but it’s your sincerity that will make points with everyone. Lucky number: 691. SPR

Smith to better their amazing 14-4 novice season, which included a first-round defeat in the Public League Class AA playoffs. They started their year Tuesday by falling to World Communications, 63-61, and travel to Overbrook today. The district rewarded them for their success by shifting them to the 14-team Division C, along with The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St. The Griffins also enjoyed amazing progress, registering 19 wins against only three losses. The Hawthorne players could not sustain their gusto in the postseason, as they lost their opening-round tilt. Coach Steve Gittleman had many reasons to be proud, as guard Demetrius Davenport appeared on Division C’s First Team and guard Sharif Smith joined the Third Team. The senior standouts could not lead their mates past University City Saturday, 67-58. Their busy schedule intensified with Monday’s road loss to Kensington, 65-53, and Tuesday’s road
win against Marianna Bracetti, 47-41. Edward Bok High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., claimed only three wins from 15 Division B games and four overall victories out of 17 total games last year. The East Passyunk Crossing school also lost coach Lloyd Jenkins, who passed away April 9. Replacement Greg Frangipani, longtenured as the girls’ basketball coach, will lead the Wildcats in a new branch, as they are among the members of the 13-team Division D. They play their third game this week today, following Monday’s road loss to Communications Tech, 79-46, and Tuesday’s home win over Swenson, 53-51. The Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., could not muster a win in 11 Division D games and picked up only one overall in 14 games. Having lost 1,000-point scorer Matt Powers, a First-Team selection, to graduation (now suiting up for Philadelphia University), coach John Dunphy will
THE PUBLIC LEAGUE programs will need awesome years if they are to drown out all the talk about the dynasty at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. The East Passyunk Crossing institution registered a 27-4 mark last year, claiming the Catholic League, District 12 City and Class AAA State titles. The Saints lost league co-MVP Lamin Fulton to graduation (St. Peter’s University), but other guards, including sophomore Ja’Quan Newton, are ready to score and set up plays for returning First-Team forwards John Davis, a junior, and Derrick Stewart, a senior who last month committed to Rider University. Coach Carl Arrigale earned his 300th career win Saturday against Washington, D.C.-based Sidwell Friends, 76-61. The victory put his team into the finals of the Gonzaga Classic, where it dropped the championship, 56-52, to the host school, another D.C. unit. At 2-1, the parochial players will look to rebound tomorrow against Reading at Albright College. SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ith the local high school football season complete, basketball has become the beneficiary of sports fans’ late autumn cravings. After today, all eight boys’ squads will have contested at least one game, with the next few weeks set to weed out those most capable of enjoying prosperous campaigns. Representing four divisions, the seven Public League units possess diverse pedigrees. The School District of Philadelphia has chosen to use recent results to order teams into divisions, so Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., which advanced to the second round of the PIAA Class AA tournament, finds itself moving from Division C to the loaded Division A. The West Passyunk school’s Huskies welcome a new coach, Rahim Washington, whose troops will try to top last season’s 16-12 record. Seven triumphs came in league play, with two more in the city playoffs. Their success landed forward Laquan Stephens Third Team Division C recognition. The junior hopes to propel his bunch, which dropped two games in last weekend’s West Catholic Tipoff Tournament, to a run at a state crown. The road to redemption resumes today at Frankford. Lou Williams, another first-year coach, will look to make Prep Charter’s new status a fruitless one, as he and Lower Moyamensing’s South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., strive for victories. The Rams claimed eight wins from 13 league battles last year and 10 overall successes. They dropped a preliminary Class AAA playoff yet are poised to be a factor in their 12-team division, beginning with today’s road test against Bartram. The Rockets from Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., impressed in their first varsity season. The Grays Ferry ballers definitely acclimated themselves to the rigors of top competition by dropping only one game from 11 Division D contests. Guard Qaadir Nock earned a Second-Team distinction, with fellow guard Daquan Jones grabbing a Third-Team nod. The junior and senior stars will listen to first-year leader Wali

need his young charges to commit to establish winning ways at their Hawthorne institution, as they begin their inaugural year in Division E. They fell in Friday’s home opener to Rush, 55-43, Monday’s opening road tilt to Douglas, 56-36, and Tuesday’s home game against Science Leadership, 63-19. Art Kratchman returns for another year at the Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St. The Girard Estate institution, a Division E member, picked up one win in 13 league affairs yet only one other reason to rejoice in nine other games, finishing with a 2-20 mark. The Pioneers remain Division E trailblazers, with competition from 12 other hungry squads, and will call upon junior guard Tobias Stokes, a Third-Team honoree last year, to please fans. They began with a Friday home loss to Masterman, 63-36, yet rebounded at home yesterday by beating Parkway Northwest, 46-29. They travel to face Rush today.
