To the Editor:The old saying about things be-
ing too good to be true came to mind as I read Bill Chenevert’s glowing report on how businesses are using tax credits to benefit tu-ition-based schools (“Extra credit for our schools,” Jan. 8).
There are, however, several facts missing from this report. First, the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit Act enacted in 2012 by the Corbett Administration is an offshoot of an older, mostly ig-nored version called the Educa-tion Improvement Tax Credit Act (’01). These laws were especially written to circumvent our state constitution’s explicit prohibition against giving tax money to reli-gious schools.
Article III, Section 15 of the Pennsylvania State Constitution says “No money raised for the support of the public schools of the Commonwealth shall be ap-propriated to or used for the sup-port of any sectarian school.”
If the constitution were not ex-plicit and voters not interested, state Sen. Anthony Williams
would already have had a voucher law passed and signed by Corbett. Instead, the administration passed what can rightfully be called a “back door voucher” plan.
The way the tax credit laws work, any eligible business like the multinational, multibillion dollar corporation UGI Energy, may contribute up to $800,000 in a single tax year to a middleman Opportunity Scholarship Organi-zation like the Children’s Scholar-ship Fund of Philadelphia, which can then distribute the money to selected private and religious schools. There are dozens of such organizations throughout the com-monwealth.
Mr. Chenevert’s article also left out that UGI Energy can then re-ceive up to 90 percent of its con-tribution as a tax credit. Some of that, I am sure, goes to pay fees and salaries for those who orga-nize and distribute the money. The total taxpayer supported funding for OSTC and EITC scholarships so far is close to $200 million per year and growing. That amount is, of course, deducted from the ba-
sic education budget for the whole state, exactly what the constitution intended to prevent.
This slight of hand may be legal (as long as it is not challenged in court), but in the old days, when we heard of organizations that helped big shots to avoid taxes, we winked and called the practice “money laundering.”
Some of that money, of course, ends up in the pockets of the pri-vate education management orga-nization mentioned in Chenevert’s article, Independence Mission Schools. IMS was handed control of about 15 parochial schools in Philadelphia. As stated in the re-port, these schools are no longer part of the Archdiocese, and two- thirds of their students are non-Catholic. However, they promise to use a “Catholic” based curricu-lum. They also depend heavily on these tax-supported scholarships to fund their tuition-based, tax-exempt schools.
Independence Mission Schools has also been a recipient of grant money from a corporate education reform group called the Philadel-phia School Partnership, which also supports charter schools. The goal of the PSP is to raise $100 million in private investments to convert as many public (and some
religious) schools as possible into privately managed businesses. For profit, of course. Without paying taxes, of course.
Many readers by now will say, (yawn) so what? Like UGI spokes-person, Alisa Harris, some will say that no matter what type of school: public, private or religious, educa-tion should be a “choice” and these scholarships enable poor children to have a choice. That sounds like a nice pie in the sky ideal, except that, for private, parochial or char-ter schools, the real choice forever remains with the school, not the parents. The article even reports a lottery for these IMS schools. No guarantees. Take your chances. Good luck!
The fundamental reason we have an established public educa-tion system, that separates church
and state, is to guarantee that all children have a seat in school. The more we privatize, commer-cialize and deconstruct what is essentially a public entitlement, the more we encourage an elite, undemocratic and clearly uncon-stitutional system of privately- managed education, financed by
the same taxpayers whose children might be denied entry.

Review Managing Ed itor
uthorities ventured to Toys “R” Us, 2703 S. Third St., at 8:21 p.m. Tues-day, meeting with a loss prevention worker who reported the at-large
figures entered the store, chose merchan-dise, passed all points of purchase and at-tempted to leave the establishment with-out paying, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When the employee tried to inquire about a receipt, the primary offender pulled out a Taser, powered it on and stated “Get the (exple-tive) out my way,” pointing the object at him as they fled the store.
The trio hopped into a white Chevy Im-pala and began traveling eastbound along Oregon Avenue, having taken approxi-mately $1,000 in items. The worker de-scribed the Taser wielder as a black female in her mid 30s, 5-foot-3 and 220 pounds; having a dark complexion; and wearing a black scarf often tabbed a “doo-rag” on her head, a gray shirt and black pants; the second individual as a black male in his early 20s, with a light complexion and a birthmark on his nose. A detailed descrip-tion of the third suspect was not available at press time.

Police arrested two men for their alleged invasion of a Passyunk Square home.
At 6:50 p.m. Tuesday, authorities re-sponded to a call of a person with a gun at a 1200-block-of-Titan-Street residence and met with the chief complainant, who told them two unknown offenders forced their way into his home by threatening him with a gun, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.
The reported intruders tied him up and went upstairs, where the other complain-ants were. The homeowner added the al-leged figures fled the house with several undisclosed items, with officers stopping the duo in the property’s rear alley. The first two complainants positively identified the detained men as the perpetrators, with police recovering a firearm and the second victim’s safe outside of the home.
Authorities arrested North Philly resi-dent Damien Frazier and Northeast in-habitant Vernon Harrison, charging them with criminal conspiracy, possession of
an instrument of crime, assault, recklessly endangering another person, robbery, theft and firearms violations.
A gunman robbed a popular Newbold java location Sunday.
At 9:04 p.m., the individual entered Ulti-mo Coffee Bar, 1900 S. 15th St., pulled out a weapon and demanded money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Divi-sion said. An employee revealed the of-fender removed $500 from a cash register then ran westbound along Mifflin Street.
The worker described the thief as black, in his early 20s and 6 foot; having a thin build and a beard; and wearing a dark gray hoodie and a gray North Face jacket.

A woman’s scream kept three males from doing further harm to a man they assaulted last week.
At 8 p.m. Jan. 11, the complainant was in the area of the 2200 block of South Sev-enth Street when several unknown figures approached him from behind, with one us-ing a handgun to deliver a blow to his head. He gave them an undisclosed amount of cash, with the individuals trying to force him in his vehicle on the aforementioned block.
As they made the effort, an unknown fe-male screamed as the victim was opening the car door, leading the suspects to flee in separate directions. The man received transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where personnel treated him for a head laceration.

proached him and asked for the pizza, with the worker asking him for $15 to cover the purchase.
The offender pulled out a folding knife and told the complainant to walk away, with the latter complying and flagging down a police car a few blocks from the location, Tolliver said. When officers trans-ported him back to the block, the offender and his peers were not in sight. The victim described the individual as black, 5-foot-9 and 20 years old; having acne, an average build and a dark complexion; and wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

Two males robbed a Point Breeze estab-lishment Sunday.
Authorities responded to a call from 20th Street Food Market, 1740 S. 20th St., at 1:57 p.m. and met with the store manager, who told them two unknown individuals entered his business with their faces cov-ered and gloves on, Detective Danielle Tol-liver of South Detective Division said. One pointed a black handgun at the proprietor before going around the counter to take $500, cartons of cigarettes and the manag-er’s cream-colored purse containing $40, identification, a ring and passport.
After the initial heist, the offenders had the witnesses kneel down on the floor and removed an unknown amount of cash from them before heading northbound on 20th Street. The owner described the first as black, 5-foot-8 and in his mid 20s; hav-ing a medium build; and wearing a blue jacket and black pants; and the second as black, 5-foot-8 and in his mid 20s; having
a medium build; and wearing a gray zip-up hoodie with a light blue hood and sleeves, black pants and black sneakers.

A forceful individual robbed a man in Passyunk Square two weeks ago.
As the complainant walked eastbound on Morris Street toward Seventh Street at 2:10 a.m. Jan. 9, the unknown figure grabbed him from behind and began to choke him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South De-tective Division said. Knocking him to the ground, he took his backpack and wallet, containing $100 and identification, from his pants pocket. He and a second male, serving as a lookout, fled on foot, run-ning southbound on Seventh Street toward Moore Street.
The uninjured complainant described the offender as Hispanic, 25 to 30 years old and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9; having a goatee; and wearing green army fatigues, a black hoody and a black coat; and the second as a black male, 25 to 30 years old and clean-shaven; and wearing black clothes.

oday I want to tell the city of Selma, today I want to say to the state of Alabama, today I want to say to the people of
America and the nations of the world, that we are not about to turn around. We are on the move now,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said on the steps of the Montgomery, Ala-bama state house on March 25, 1965. An excerpt of the famous speech was played for a crowd at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., that had gath-ered to celebrate Monday’s Martin Luther King Day of Service project that kicked off Principal Otis Hackney’s campaign to bring music back to Southern.
“Let us march on poverty until no Amer-ican parent has to skip a meal so that their children may eat. … Let us march on bal-lot boxes until the [George] Wallaces of our nation tremble away in silence,” the speech, popularized by the January-release of the film “Selma” famously reads. And Paul Bryan, dean of faculty and students at the Curtis Institute, had put together a small musical program to honor King and his speech, and to galvanize the connec-tion between music and moments of his-torical import.
“We tried to put the program together in a way that we could tie a couple important events, like what happened almost 50 years ago exactly this year, to music. When you connect a historical point in time or mo-ment of significance to something musi-cal, the impact can be powerful,” Bryan said. “So we tried to do that with MLK’s speech excerpt.”
He also brought his selective music con-servatory’s brass ensemble and they per-formed “Jericho Clangor,” a piece inspired by Dr. King, commissioned by Bryan and composed by Curtis alum Darin Kelly. He also asked a vocalist, Jamez McCorkle, to
sing a traditional spiritual, and he magnifi-cently performed “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho.” “Why should I feel discouraged? / And why should the shadows come? / Why should my heart be lonely?” Mc-Corkle sang. “For his eye is on the sparrow / And I know he watches me / so I sing because I’m happy / And I sing because I’m free.”
It’s a spiritual that King quotes in his leg-endary “Our God is Marching On” speech, the one Bryan brought to Southern’s day of service. “Cause the battle am in my hand,” King recites, and tells a hopeful crowd: “The battle is in our hands. And we can answer with creative nonviolence the call to higher ground to which the new direc-tions of our struggle summons us.”
Curtis’ visit to Southern was facilitated by Wells Fargo, whose partnership with Curtis brought Bryan and Hackney togeth-er, and is a symbolic start to a relationship between the under-resourced public high school and the world-class conservatory two miles up South Broad Street.
“To me, it was much more of a real sym-bolic restart of something that was once very special. All of us at Curtis are con-cerned about music going forward,” Bry-
an, noting that music education in public schools is a dwindling dream, but one that Hackney’s committed to, said. “The op-portunity has been taken away [for music education in public schools]. This looked like an opportunity for us to help bring it back.”
“THE RIGHT PERSON had the right conver-sation at the right time. We met and every-thing moved quickly from there,” Hackney said. “This was the kick-off event to get the music program up and running again at South Philly High.”
There was a music teacher in the build-ing when Hackney started five years ago, and since the instructor’s disappearance, he has been trying, with pressure from alums as well, to get music back to a fa-mously musical high school.
“A year from now, there should be strong evidence of music instruction here at Southern. I currently don’t have a music teacher, but it is a priority for me to iden-tify the right music teacher for next year. If I can set up the space for you and provide you a ready-made relationship with Wells Fargo and City Year and Curtis,” Hack-ney believes, this music teacher can make
magic happen. “Music can be used as a tool to teach students — they can learn how to learn, and they can apply that skill elsewhere.”
For Hackney, it’s about allowing kids to take risks where they feel supported, and giving them an opportunity to excel at something other than reading, writing and arithmetic.
“Let me provide you with something else where you can really shine and now you feel more confident and you’re willing to take a risk,” he said. “For the skills that it takes to learn how to play an instrument and read music and recreate a song, and getting to a point where you can create or write your own music, it’s one of the high-est demonstrations of learning,” Hackney told the brass ensemble audience, a refrain he had told volunteers who’d come up to clean the music room in the morning.
“It’s like a different planet, it was really really amazing to see it,” Bryan said of the music room’s conversion from morning to afternoon. “The way the space looks now, it’s just so much more conducive to some-one learning in there.”
Hackney said “it was a junk room,” a collection of discarded furniture and odds and ends. But now Southern’s 777 stu-dents may soon be paid more visits from students, instructors and music-oriented service fellows care of Curtis.
“One way or the other we look forward to continuing that partnership, we just don’t know how that will look,” Bryan said, staying positive and open-minded about what a Curtis-Southern musical partnership will become.
Nisah Abdul-Sabur, a City Year program manager and mainstay at Southern, used to lead teams at Gray Ferry’s Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., which has significantly more resources than Southern as a charter. City Year’s focus is on grades three through nine, but in the South Broad Street build-ing, there’s no task they don’t have their hands in, including extracurriculars.
“In public school you have to get a little more crafty. It’s such a great opportunity when a new partnership is developed,” she said. “We’re all trying to work together in an environment that’s conducive to learn-ing and one where students are proud of their school and invest in it. The admin-istration recognizes that there are chal-lenges, but they’re willing to step up to the plate and develop partnerships that will promote growth.”

read “Be Your Own Hero” and “There Is A Superhero Inside All Of Us.”
“LoMo came to us. When they actually came to me, they asked me what I wanted done. They raised $1,400,” McDermott-Fair reported, explaining that the LoMo executive committee allocated $1,000 and that the education committee donated $300.
She noted that folks from the Southeast Asian Mutual Assistance Association Co-alition () and the Vanguard Group have of-fered labor and partnerships, as well.
“We’re nowhere near [finished] but this entire building was tuscan white, and now it has life and now it’s so much cheerier and welcome, and it’s what an elementary school should be,” McDermott-Fair said, feeling invigorated by the pops of red on the first floor and bright coats of green and blue on the second. It’s good for the kids, she said, “they still believe in Crayola.”
BLANCHE BURTON-LYLES IS the darling doy-enne of Marian Anderson’s legacy. The legendary mentee and friend to Anderson, a South-of-South icon and hero of histo-ry, sat in the corner of the living room at Marian Anderson’s former home and the current location of the Marian Anderson Historical Society, 762 S. Martin St., on Monday with a distinct smile on her face.
“There were several hundred students and people here from one end of the block to the other,” Burton-Lyles said with almost 10 volunteers busily setting up a dining room table for incoming aged diners and ferrying food from the kitchen to a help-yourself buffet line. “They were so beauti-ful. They were up and down the block and the table was filled — this is the second year, but this is the largest crowd.”
Students from Temple, Drexel and Saint Joseph’s universities were present to lend a hand in feeding South Philadelphia el-
ders a home-cooked meal. Burton-Lyles held court entertaining visitors and shar-ing stories about Anderson’s connection to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“She was there when he gave his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech,” the Anderson expert noted, explaining that her mentor was due to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” on August 28, 1963 but Camilla Williams sang it instead.
Loretta Lewis stopped by after a visit to their shared church, the Union Baptist Church, 1910 Fitzwater St., about 150 feet away. And Judy Davis, a new Historical Society member, said students swarmed her and her husband Gerald’s food gifts when they arrived in the morning.
“I didn’t even ask, they were just right there,” Davis, an alum of South Phila-delphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., and native of Second and Shunk streets, said. “There’s so much love and warmth here. When you come in you feel at home,
and it’s not just a museum — you feel at home.”
“Because it was her home for 60 years,” Burton-Lyles chimed in.
For Anderson, a woman of color who started singing in neighborhood churches in the early 20th century, her life is as much of an inspiration as King’s. On Mon-day, her legacy was honored and served as the inspiration to feed the hungry.
“She had more than 47 honorary de-grees,” Burton-Lyles added, and Davis said “it’s been said her voice comes once in 100 years.”
THE “I HAVE a Dream” speech served as the inspiration for the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation’s “Dream Big” day at Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St. The day began with “The squirts,” the young-est area residents taking the Flyers’ ice, for gameplay. But after they’d shed their gear and uniforms, they shipped up to a room
above the rink to read King’s speech and share thoughts on nonviolence.
The Snider Hockey program, created in 2005, targets inner-city boys and girls who otherwise wouldn’t have an opportunity to skate or play ice hockey. Since its in-ception, the program has grown to service 3,000 students.
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed,” read one of the students from the 14-to-18 age group. “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal… I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” the volunteer reader went on.
The students volunteered what they knew about Dr. King.
“He was a civil rights leader,” “He was like Gandhi,” “He went to jail” and “He was a pastor” were offered to the activity’s leader, Sam Napierkowski, a Snider Youth academic assistant.
“Right, he was an amazing speaker, and he was able to talk in front of large groups of people. He had a way with words, and he was able to move people to feel things and want to act in a certain way, which was partly being a good reverend and partly be-ing a great orator,” Napeirkowski added.
The students in the room were encour-aged to share an experience where vio-lence or nonviolence affected them, and 18-year-old Tioga resident Kaseir Archie hit it on the head.
“I remember vividly being in a game against the Raiders yesterday, and I was getting called different racial slurs,” Archie shared, but resisted the temptation to fight hate with hate. “I caught myself – what kind of example would I be? Although I’m a victim, he’s also a victim as well. He’s a victim of ignorance [as a result] of the teachings of his parents or the common beliefs of his environment.”

Review Managing Ed itor
or Theresa Rose, South Philly exists as an ever-blossoming expanse where those keen on creating ca-maraderie can consider themselves spoiled. The 39-year-old artist is displaying her infatuation with the environs as one of three contributors to Wind Challenge 2, an element of the 37th annual Wind Chal-lenge Exhibition Series at Fleisher Art Memorial, 719 Catharine St.
“Coming up with ideas and making something of them are intuitive processes for me,” Rose said from her home on the 1200 block of South Clarion Street. “South Philly has such life to it, so I wanted to give reverence to that with my work.”
Through Feb. 7, the Passyunk Square inhabitant will have 10 pieces at the Bella Vista location. Reflect-ing regard for her surroundings, the creations represent the marriage of photographs and watercolor washes to enhance the hue of an already vivid area. Joining more than 300 innovators who have gratified gawkers through the series, she is encouraging enthusiasm for analyzing everyday occasions and observations, with each, according to her Fleisher artist description, telling a story, eliciting a response and evoking meaning.
“There’s so much to notice, and it’s amazing what can become apparent when we stop and take a breath,”

Rose said of her project, which she start-ed to ponder and perfect while serving as FringeArts’ visual arts program director. “Even the ordinary can take on extraordi-nary qualities when we reduce our active doing and look within. Since my art school days, that’s been key for me.”
The introspective individual learned of her exhibition acceptance shortly after the December 2013 birth of her son and feels fortunate to have the location host her hom-age to South Philly, where she has resided for seven years. She will continue to chron-icle the turf’s effect on her cognizance with tonight’s free 6 o’clock experimental per-formance concerning her beloved block, with East Passyunk Crossing dweller and City of Philadelphia poet laureate Frank Sherlock assisting the public program’s execution.
“I felt I was ready to offer my under-standing of South Philly life,” Rose said of submitting pieces to Fleisher. “I wouldn’t say it is a quintessential look at the neigh-borhoods and residents’ experiences, but it shows me wanting to capture and preserve moments in time. The addition of the wash-es brings out that desire a little more. I’m just thrilled to have an opportunity to show my appreciation for being in this commu-nity and for gaining a sense of the beauty in the commonplace.”
THE NORTHEAST PHILLY native matured as a figure fascinated with understanding the workings of her given environment, thanks in large part to the importance placed on volunteerism at Villa Joseph Marie High School. With her mother’s artistic back-ground, Rose seemed destined to take to creating, but she confessed that her shift to such pursuits occurred randomly.
“I just started to look within myself more,” she said, noting that the Temple University-affiliated Tyler School of Art yielded more acute admiration for internal growth. “That compelled me to try to gath-er even more opportunities for expression of that ability in each of us.”
Through middle and high school teach-ing duties and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts-situated graduate studies, Rose raised her comprehension of art’s possi-bilities, with a local agency helping that knowledge to bloom.
“Having been out in the world, so to speak, I had such curiosity to learn the workings of a city,” she said of her five-year stint as public art project manager for the City of Philadelphia Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy under the guidance of former Hawthorne inhabitant Gary Steu-er. “I wanted to know what organizations were aspiring to, and I enjoyed navigating through different systems.”
Rose found her government employ-ment riveting yet yearned for a return to her studio identity, a restoration that com-menced with her FringeArts tenure. As her year-and-a-half sojourn unfolded, interest in introspection and intense affinity for her community united to inspire what Fleisher visitors have been enjoying since Dec. 5.
“I’m just one of those people,” she said of seeking immersion and integration into her realm, particularly the “sweet network” that is Passyunk Square, for whom she is a member of its titular civic association and a volunteer at Passyunk Gardens, 829 Wharton St. “I need to know what’s going on here because I love understanding it, ad-vocating for it and contributing to it.”
Rose tends to the final component of that trio through Philly Stake, which she founded in Sept. ’10. Through nearly two dozen projects, she and her peers have generated more than $18,000 for voted-upon proposals that its originators have presented at well-attended dinners offering locally-sourced victuals. Contending that the gatherings help attendees to “see the city in a beautiful, positive way” because of the proposal devisers’ visions, she looks forward to a February meeting to discuss Philly Stake’s future, noting she deems the endeavor another example of her combin-ing communal and creative concerns.
“Philadelphia has so much at stake, so I want to keep influencing others to chip in because that likewise encourages me,” Rose said.
Along with enjoying parenting with her husband and interacting with the “really, really special” people on her block, the grateful figure has ensured that younger generations of creators will have more impetus to believe in their concepts as an instructor for The Village of Arts and Hu-manities and The Moore College of Arts & Design, the latter involving Art and So-cial Engagement and Community Practice graduate programs. Applying for grants to match her Market Academy Knight Foun-dation honor and preparing for February inclusion in the Institute of Contemporary Art-situated “Imaginary Archives,” she is reveling in, rather than suffering for, her art.
“I can’t imagine leaving here,” Rose said of her Philadelphia, particularly Passyunk Square, occupancy. “There’s ca-maraderie and consideration. That’s what inspires.”

olks always ask me how I come up with topics for my column? Sometimes it’s just a matter of picking out what I con-sider the most important stories of the
past week and sharing my ignorance about them with you, dear reader. I confess it’s not always easy to figure out. For instance, this past week, we had the terrorist attack in Paris; the unsettling news that Vanna White is leaving “Wheel of Fortune”; the NCAA trying to figure out whether to restore the wins it took away from Joe Paterno; a story about Chipotle fast-food outlets that wound up with the unfortunate headline: Chipotle pulls its pork; the disclosure that film star Billy Bob Thornton’s lifelong goal has been to sleep with Jennifer Aniston; Don Tollefson defending his alleged misuse of charity funds as the result of his being “a bad business man;” the president proposing the government offer the first two years of community college tuition-free; Mitt Rom-ney admitting he is considering yet another run for president; City Council President Darrell Clark announcing he will not run for mayor; and “Glee” star Naya Rivera declaring white folks tend to shower more frequently than ethnics. Your columnist will share his views on the reasons behind each of these news developments.
Terrorist attack in Paris: It’s not as if Americans don’t care about the slaughter of 12 employees of Charlie Hebdo, we do. But in our heart of hearts, we know every international incident is always about us. So we saved our outrage for the fact that President Barack Obama did not attend the unity demonstrations in Paris. Barack, I’m aware that there were football playoffs this past weekend, but it’s not as if the Bears were playing in them. Conservatives who normally hate the French shockingly found solidarity with an atheist newspaper that regularly prints “offensive” cartoons about all religions (Rush Limbaugh even vowed to begin drinking French cognac again. I hear he had never given up the triple creme brie.). Bottom line: The president messed up, but it’s not as if he let Osama bin Laden get away. The conservatives love affair with Europe will disappear as soon as the con-versation gets back to health care.
Vanna White: Vanna stunned both the audience and host Pat Sajak when she an-nounced she’s leaving “Wheel of Fortune.” Bottom line: Vanna loves turning letters, but feels she is capable of much more. She is seeking an acting job that would involve turning letters.
The NCAA and the legend of Joe Pa-terno: The NCAA admits it is considering restoring the wins it took away when pun-ishing Paterno as if he were the pedophile. Bottom line: I believe Joe’s statue will be placed back on campus since it was drawing too many gawkers standing next to a nearby Wendy’s. Also, by putting the statue back, it will give Penn State alumni and students an opportunity to think about other things like world hunger.
Chipotle pulls its pork: The fast-food chain announced it’s removing pork from its menu because its supplier was violating humane standards in how it treated its hogs before slaughtering them. Bottom line: No word whether Chiptole is considering removing all food from its menu because it violates humane standards of good taste. Tip to the MSN website: Is it true that Seth MacFarlane wrote that headline?
Billy Bob Thornton’s life-long goal. Bottom line: There is nothing wrong with putting sex with Jennifer Aniston at the top of one’s bucket list; however, after being married to Angelina Jolie, there is this thing about being a little greedy.
Don Tollefson: The former sports anchor (full disclosure — I worked with Tollefson briefly and like him) says his lapses involv-ing charity contributions for sports tickets were essentially because he has never been a good businessman. Bottom line: You spent three years at Stanford, Don, and didn’t take any business courses?
Obama’s tuition-free plan: The presi-dent’s proposal would provide students with two years of community college free of tuition so long as they made the effort to keep up with their studies. Bottom line: Not satisfied with wrecking America by providing health coverage to millions who had been without it, “the worst president ever,” according to some conservatives, is now providing an opportunity for more Americans to acquire a college education. What’s next, a chicken in every pot?
Mitt Romney mulls another run for president
Bottom line: Some observers see Rom-ney’s statement as a challenge to Jeb Bush, otherwise known as the sane Republican in the race. But I see it this way — you’ll never catch Mitt wearing an orange sweater or slobbering over Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones, like you-know-who.
Naya Rivera on showering: The “Glee” star believes “showering daily is such a white people thing.” Bottom line: I never noticed frequent showering was a big thing with the white guys I knew growing up.
Darrell Clark not running for mayor Bottom line: I guess trying to get a fund-raiser sponsored by PGW didn’t work too well for him. Somebody, wake up City Controller Alan Butkovitz. You can run now, not that anyone cares.

Movie Rev iewer
hey say those who can’t do, teach, and in the case of Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), a part-time musician and full-time band conductor at the
uber-prestigious Shaffer Conservatory, the ache of being able to coach greats, yet not necessarily be one, manifests in the form of spewed, violent rage. Terence is the ter-ror of Shaffer, yet he’s the mentor every-one wants, since playing for him confirms someone is the best of the best. That’s the goal of Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller), a drummer enamored of legends like Buddy Rich, and it’s a goal he achieves, but not without consequence.
Written and superbly directed by newbie Damien Chazelle (and named for the Hank Levy song Andrew is forced to practice ad nauseum), “Whiplash” is, at its core, a study of the pros and cons of vicious and utterly merciless teaching methods. In a sense, it calls to mind author Amy Chua’s controversial 2011 hit “Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother,” wherein she defended strict maternal tactics that pushed her children to the breaking point. Chua’s was a self-professed Asian philosophy, fueled by the notion that misery — the opposite of stereotypical American coddling — is a small hurdle on the road to success.
In “Whiplash,” Terence does all but physically attack Andrew in an attempt to draw out the most of the new recruit’s obvious talent. Curses are thrown like gre-nades. Furniture is hurled across rooms. And Simmons, in a performance that earned him an Oscar nomination, glares at his tortured, yet shockingly undaunted, protege as if his eyes could explode out of his wrinkle-creased face. It’s a riveting
battle of wills, and its culmination, shot, edited, acted and choreographed with glo-rious precision, is a perfectly balanced and nontraditional coda.
The true triumph of “Whiplash,” though, is its intimate exploration of an artistic pursuit that’s rarely spotlit, and often dis-missed — as it is by other characters in the film — as a less-than-serious ambition. A scene at a dinner table sees Andrew ig-nored while relatives praise his brother for his macho football achievements. An-drew is insulted, but unfazed, since he — and we — know that his is the real blood sport.
Brad Pitt leads a testosterone-packed cast of gruff Hollywood stars in this World War II drama about a sergeant named Wardaddy (Pitt) and the tank he pilots in an attack on Nazi Germany. Co-starring with Mr. Jolie are Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Jason Isaacs, Michael Pena and Scott Eastwood (Clint’s son).

nother veteran bar and restau-rant team has decided to take up shop in South Philly this week. Leigh Maida, Brendan Hartranft
and Brendan Kelly, the group behind beer centric standouts Local 44 and Strangelove’s, have secured a lease for the former Mildred space at Eight and Christian streets. Maida and Hartranft also helm Kensington outpost Memphis Taproom, which is not only home to Philly’s best fried pickles but was one of the city’s first bars to ace the beer garden concept.
Dubbed Coeur, which means “heart” in French, the trio's site promises to de-liver a “classic, back-to-basics menu a la Montreal in a cozy and casual neigh-borhood setting.” Beyond that, details about the concept are slowly trickling out with some being given and others coming with a bit of mysterious allure. Here is a list of a few things that can be expected based on what we know, what we’ve heard and what’s been learned from the triumvirate's previous endeav-ors.
Without question, craft beer will be a large part of the equation at Coeur. The group itself has already promised a “heavy dedication to the craft beer scene” and that “both craft beer and wine will flow from the taps.” Both are welcome declarations that confirmed a well-known fact — this group loves craft beer.
Local 44 boasts a bottle shop with more than 500 offerings while Strangelove’s hits the other end of the spectrum in that its list of 20 drafts runs the gambit from stalwart local crafts to national or inter-national gems. Memphis Taproom takes the quality-not-quantity approach as well, lining up a draft list that is diverse but always approachable. Beer drinkers should be excited about Coeur.
Exposed brick, high-vaulted ceil-ing and a fireplace stand out as elegant touches currently in place. Whether they will be altered or improved upon remains to be seen, but the pieces are there. Bamboo floors stand out as well, and the bar area (pictured) is of consid-erable size.
The space is equipped to seat at least 50, with additional seating at the bar. It is unlikely that major renovations will take place given that the relative readi-ness of the location was definitely a draw, meaning diners can expect a res-taurant that is intimate with some room to breathe as well.
James and The Mildred, the two pre-vious tenants, never quite got into a groove with the locals despite largely strong reviews from critics. Maida, Har-tranft, and Kelly have been known to be open and resourceful. Each of their pre-vious spaces enjoys common denomi-nators that fuel success — passionately curated drink lists, friendly, sometimes quirky service and plates ranging from comfort food to creative vegan — while incorporating touches that feel at home where they stand.
Their beer bar in Kensington lacks pretension and jives with the area’s in-flux of young people but works as a din-ner space as well. In West Philly Local 44 gives off an exciting, fun vibe that will draw in Penn’s upperclassmen but maintains a drinking expertise that will bring in professors as well. To be suc-cessful in Bella Vista, Coeur will have to walk similar types of lines, appeal-ing to the discerning drinker and diner alike.

n Jan. 27, executive chef Justin Swain will continue his City-
wide Special Burger Series at REX 1516, 1516 South St., with Jason Cichonski, owner of The Gaslight and Ela, 627 S. Third St. The promotion features a burger, fries, a shot of Buf-falo Trace and PBC Newbold IPA for $15, with the burger selection avail-able on Swain’s Instagram account, @swainstache, that day. Call 267-319-1366, visit rex1516.com or e-mail [email protected].
nstead of worrying if and when the next polar vortex will be making its unwanted return to the Philadelphia area, try focusing on warmer thoughts. Yes, a trip to the islands is always nice, but can become very costly. Nothing warms up the
body and soul like a dish that offers all the tastiness of a home-cooked meal and the warmth of a hot dish. Karen Griffith’s Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage meets this criteria.
When that next falling-below-freezing night comes along, and there will be plenty of them this season, the resident of the 100 block of Mifflin Street and her recipe samplers will be forecasting a little warming pattern at the dinner table.

Restaurant Rev iewer
ast month, when I was reminiscing about restaurants I loved when I was a girl, I omitted a few that need a mention.
Horn & Hardart was one of my favor-ite places. The automat was a wonder for small children, but these restaurants also offered sit-down waitress service. The food for breakfast, lunch or dinner was simple, tasty and wholesome.
The Howard Johnson chain dotted America. It was known for its fried clams, dinners, sandwiches and ice cream. We always ate breakfast at a Howard Johnson when we traveled by car. Eggs, bacon and toasted cornmeal cakes was my usual order. Like Horn & Hardart, Howard Johnson offered sim-ple, tasty, wholesome food.
Customers will find this on the bill of fare at Dottie’s Dinette, a new breakfast and lunch restaurant on North Delaware Avenue just across the street from Sug-arHouse Casino. The decor is a throw-back to the 1950s with its long counter, large clock on the wall and the stainless steel seats that are covered in bright and shiny shades of red or blue.
Strong and piping hot mugs of Green Street Coffee ($1.85) warmed us up on a cold morning. The headquarters for Green Street Coffee is located in South Philly, and I believe people can purchase it in some markets.
Our waiter told me Dottie’s pancakes ($2 each) are large, so two would be ample for me. He was right. These are homemade and do not resemble any-
thing, in taste and appearance, one would get from a mix. They were so hot that I almost burned my finger holding one up when I slathered them with rich, soft butter. Real honest-to-goodness maple syrup from Lancaster County added the right touch of natural sweetness to these hot cakes. It was poured into a cruet, so when I added it to my pancakes, it driz-zled out into a small stream. This was a nice touch.
Dottie’s has two types of bacon — tur-
key maple or pork from Benton’s ($3). Benton’s pork products are popping up on restaurant menus. I have tasted their ham, and it was uncommonly good. Their bacon meets my standards — crisp and free of grease.
A make-your-own omelette ($9) is also on offer. The cheese omelette was folded over almost like a blintze. It was golden on the outside and creamy on the inside. Sometimes I like a plain omelette pre-pared with American cheese. Most res-
taurants offer oven-roasted potatoes with eggs. Dottie’s offers old-fashioned hash browns. They are shredded and sautéed almost like a potato pancake. A wisp of salt was all that was needed. I also liked the rye toast because it was Jewish rye with a nice, hard crust. I have become a scrapple lover. Most people do not want to know what goes into the making of this Pennsylvania Dutch staple. It is pig’s liver, leftover parts of the pig and oats. It is highly seasoned, formed into a log and sliced thin before it is fried. Dot-tie’s version ($3) was done just right.
A woman, who may have been the owner, told us about the restaurant’s name.
“I think everyone has an Aunt Dottie in their family,” she said with a smile. She also told us she wants to get small jukeboxes for the tables.
I plan on making a return visit to try the Cobb salad or a burger, fries and a milkshake.
There are times when I do not want a froufrou fancy breakfast or brunch. Sim-ple, tasty wholesome food fills the bill nicely at Dottie’s Dinette.
Three tips of the toque to this pleasant location.

f Kevin Sbraga were a scientif-ic genius, he could try creating a formula to clone himself so that he could appear at all three
of his restaurants — including Ju-niper Commons, which opened
Dec. 8 at 521 S. Broad St. — at the same time. However, he is bet-ter known for taste-bud-dazzling performances in the kitchen with his expanding Philadelphia res-taurant empire that also includes Sbraga, 440 S. Broad St. and the University City-based Fat Ham.
“ I still spend the majority of my time at Sbraga,” the season seven winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef” said. “It’s about having the right people at the right place and being passionate about what we do.”
Juniper Commons, where Greg Garbacz handles the executive chef duties, pays homage to the 1980s with quintessential Ameri-can dishes such as stuffed floun-der, prime rib and Caesar salad, which is prepared tableside.
“It’s a throwback to the ’80s with big portions and big flavors,” Sbraga said of the restaurant, which is his first full build out.
The name came together after studying old neighborhood maps.
“It’s a common area for the community to come to,” he said of the establishment that happens to be located near South Juniper Street.
The Willingboro, N.J. native starts his days as early as 7 a.m., and the culinary routine typically lasts until midnight.
For those looking to enjoy a sampling from the Juniper Com-mons menu, Sbraga is sharing the Wood Grilled Salmon with Mus-tard Cream and Three Bean Salad recipe (visit southphillyreview.com for the full offering). He en-joys the crispiness of the skin and the tang from the cream sauce.
Season all sides of the salmon with the salt. Grill the salmon,
skin side down, over medium heat for approximately two minutes. Flip, and grill for an additional two minutes or to preferred done-ness.
In a small sauce pot, combine the garlic, shallot, bay leaf, thyme, black pepper and white wine, and simmer for 20 min-utes. In another small sauce pot, combine the cream, whole grain and smooth Dijon, and reduce by half. Strain the white wine mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the mustard-cream reduction, and whisk until well combined. Season with the salt.

AAQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Try not to prejudge people or a situation, as it will cause a big misunder-
standing between you and a loved one or colleague. Try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes to grasp fully what is going on. Lucky number: 159.
SPISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Feel free to talk to su-periors about problems you feel are getting out of hand.
This is a time to be assertive and change a situation you have been tolerating for quite a while. Lucky number: 842.

bilities, of course, but find a way to tap into the current, playful energy that seems to be boundless. Lucky number: 964.

ing on yours. Stop judging, and work on moving your life agenda forward. Lead by example. Lucky number: 781.
GGEMINI (May 21 to June 20): You made commitments that you are regretting. People are counting on you to

Review Managing Ed itor
or more than a decade, fans have worn few frowns when support-ing the boys’ basketball team at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736
S. 10th St., so their sad countenances as Sunday’s first-half tilt against Archbishop Wood unfolded seemed as out of place as laughter at a funeral. Fortunately for the followers, the club overcame a double-digit deficit to down the visiting Vikings 82-77. The victory took the Saints to 14-1 overall and 6-1 against Catholic League competition ahead of tomorrow’s tussle versus Archbishop Carroll.
“We take pride in stopping guys, but we didn’t do a good job doing that in the beginning,” star guard Lamarr “Fresh” Kimble said of upsetting the guests’ upset plan. “We’re not going to get anywhere without defense, so that’s definitely the change that brought us back.”
The lone senior starter for coach Carl Arrigale, the All-Catholic selection ven-tured to the court knowing the afternoon matchup would not be short on emotions, as his institution held a pre-game ceremo-ny for former assistant coach John Mosco, a Point Breeze native who helms Wood’s bench, to mark his return to South Philly. The second-year coach’s charges wanted to make the day doubly delightful for their leader and opened an early six-point edge courtesy of well-advised passes and shots.
“We know people want to beat us be-cause of our background,” Kimble said of the six-time defending parochial champi-ons. “It doesn’t matter who the matchup is, nobody is going to roll over for you in this league. We knew our best had to be better than theirs because we know their talent.”
The squads’ skills created a 20-20 score after the first quarter, with Kimble and junior guard Zane Martin accounting for 17 points. The Warminster-based Vikings, owners of an 11-3 overall ledger coming in, consistently confounded the Saints’ defense, with groans and unease apparent as they built a 39-28 cushion.
“We were out of it in the first half, es-pecially me,” sophomore guard Quade Green, the unit’s leading sniper, said of having headed to the locker room down by four. “We know we had to concentrate and play our style of basketball to get the job
done. I really wanted to show my commit-ment to this team because we’re five guys working toward one goal, and I like being one of the main guys.”
ARRIGALE HAS ENJOYED mentoring many “main guys,” as evident through his col-lecting 10 out of the last 14 league plaques. Well aware of Mosco’s motivational savvy, the resident of the 2900 block of South 15th Street voiced concern over his athletes’ defensive breakdowns yet knew the team’s offensive potency could yield a thrilling second half.
“We had to get more intense,” Green said of plotting to prevent an extreme rar-
ity, a league loss for the Saints, who since the 2008-’09 campaign have fallen only three times against fellow Catholic League members. “I know we felt compelled to go all out defensively because we knew that would likely generate some transition scores.”
Held to five points in the first half, Green made the third quarter a display of why he has already begun to attract college inter-est. With momentum maintaining its al-legiance to the home team, the Saints con-tinued to counter Wood buckets with their own to keep at bay any thoughts that the inside occurrences would end up as mis-erable as the external conditions brought
on by the day’s rain. With 5:30 remaining in the third frame, the complexion of the contest changed immensely, as sophomore center Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree found a permanent spot on the bench after receiv-ing a technical foul.
“That did give the game a different dynamic,” Kimble said of going to a five-guard rotation following the 6-foot-8 lane stopper’s departure. “We knew we had to make plays and get to the rim more often while also looking for outside shots.”
Kimble and Green led the rejuvenation, with the younger shooter generating 11 points to the upperclassman’s seven. A three-pointer by Green set off a tremen-dous eruption of enthusiasm among the Saints’ backers, as their heroes went up 58-50 and appeared to have vanquished the Vikings’ wishes for a winsome trip to South Philly. Behind senior Luke Con-naghan, who would pace all scorers with 32 points, the guests would not go away, and each time that Neumann-Goretti seemed sure to assert its supremacy over the willing challengers, Mosco’s club again caused fans to adjust their seats.
“We’ve been in many close situations,” Kimble, who next year will look to be clutch as a Saint Joseph’s University roster member, said of staying focused and gain-ing another triumph for his bunch. “This was another one that we’re happy to say we came out of with a ‘W.’”
Thanks to solid free-throw shooting by the senior, who tallied 21 points, Green, who generated 24, Martin and junior guard Vaughn Covington, the aforementioned sad expressions became memories, with Arrigale offering an assessment of how the Saints can keep their zealots content.
“Our offense has the ability to be amaz-ing when we trust ourselves,” the coach said. “Overall, on both sides, though, I think we can be so much better. I don’t want to be known as the guy whose play-ers score so many points. I want to be the guy whose players stop the other teams from scoring.”
“I definitely agree with that,” Kimble added. “This is the time where we all need to step it up and have the confidence in ourselves and one another.” SPR
