Review Staff Writer
elores Brisbon was in Florida, where her and her seven sib-lings were raised in Jackson-ville, when 17-year-old Tray-
von Martin was shot and killed in the Sunshine State, unarmed. The retired 83-year-old has experienced racism her whole life but, despite it, charted an unbelievable career path: first African-American nurse
at University of Pennsylvania hos-pitals; first African-American head nurse in 1958; nursing supervisor; then system planning at Penn; and all the way up to chief operating officer. She knew, when her nephew asked her in 2012 “Aunt D, can this really happen in America?” She responded “It just did” and on her flight home to Philadelphia she was nagged by a question: “Is there something I can or should do?”
“I decided to look at at-risk be-havior on my own,” Brisbon said. “I
think we have to explain to young black men how to respond to cops.”
She started sharing her line of questioning amongst friends, family, professional connections and peers and, finally, someone asked, “Well, why don’t you do something about it?” Three years later and Raising Successful Sons was born – an “ad-ditional program” (“after-school” is a notion she and her program reject) aimed at Point Breeze youths with the intent of coaching them, through programming and collective adult
volunteerism, towards health and success in adulthood.
It’s a program that was also born out of the Presbyterian Community Ministries of the Delaware Valley (PCMDV) and their look at services offered at the John Gloucester House, 2147 Manton St., which also houses an elderly residence, and the Queen Memorial Branch, 1201 S. 23rd St. The Presbytery of Philadelphia pro-vided some funds to the PCMDV to

“I want a [Republican] ticket of Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Trump has a forwardness that resonates with people, and Carson communi-cates ideas very well.”
David Calabro, 2200 block of South
Juniper Street
“I’m a registered Demo-crat, which means noth-ing since I usually vote for the strongest person. I have leanings but that’s all I can say.”
James Ball, 26th Street and Snyder

“I haven’t watched them yet, but I’m going to vote for the Democratic candidate no matter what. I think the Republicans, more than usual, have been a bunch of clowns.”
Jerry Mitchell, 12th and Moore streets
To the Editor:This letter is written in regards to the
one written by Phil Blumenkrantz (“Pon-dering the Papal Visit,” Oct. 15). It was so appalling to read your comments about the Papal Visit. It was a wonderful event that our city hosted with the World Meet-ing of Families and the visit from Pope Francis.
It is OK to have some negative views; however, you did not offer one positive comment. The separation of church and state had nothing to do with this event.
In my eyes, Pope Francis is a modest, compassionate, and caring human being. There was only so much he could cover in the few hours that he was here. I feel he did a wonderful job.
I also commend our City officials in the way they handled this event. Yes, it may have been a little over the top, but with the world we live in today, it was appro-priate.
To the Editor:I read with interest the editorial by Prin-
cipal Blanchard Diavua concerning the wonderful programs offered by Universal Audenreid Charter High School.
All this enthusiasm for a privately man-aged vocational and academic high school made me nostalgic for another similar district high school that closed in 2013. I am referring, of course, to the Edward W. Bok Technical High School at Ninth and Mifflin streets.
Due to declining enrollment, thanks in part to the lure of charter schools with a full counseling staff like Audenreid’s, the School Reform Commission decided Bok would be one of 23 School District of Philadelphia schools closed as part of a “right-sizing” that is meant to shutter as many as 64 schools by 2017.
The 75-year-old art deco high school built during the Depression was sold last year for $2.1 million to Scout Ltd. run by young developer Lindsey Scannapieco, with a vision to connect the building with a “vibrant community of entrepreneurs, makers and artists.”
Does anyone else besides me have a question about all this? Bok had a gradu-ation rate of 74 percent compared to the district’s 57 percent in spite of having a closed library. Included in a full roster of academic, technical and vocational courses, their unparalleled culinary arts program put students in a restaurant set-ting that taught them all aspects of how a real restaurant is operated. Bok made Ad-equate Yearly Progress on state exams for five years straight.
Bok was not failing. It was deemed too expensive. Yet the SRC finds plenty of money to open more “Renaissance” schools with private management teams. This creeping privatization of our public schools should not be allowed.
To the Editor:We appreciate Tom Cardella’s call for
more arts funding in his recent column (“Goodies,” Oct. 15), but have to cor-rect the record when he suggests that the Philly POPS is threatened with financial disaster.
For our 2015-’16 season, ticket sales are up 50 percent, subscriptions are up 64 percent since ’13-’14, and group sales are up by almost 100 percent. In fact, our recent Sinatra Weekend concerts sold so successfully that we had to add a fourth performance to meet demand. Not only is the POPS financially solvent, but we are growing our performance calendar and are reaching new audiences through several recently-launched initiatives. We encourage readers to learn more on our website, phillypops.org. We’re proud to be trailblazing a path to success as an arts organizations in Philadelphia.
Thank you to Mr. Cardella for address-ing the important topic of arts funding in the federal budget – we agree that it should be protected and expanded.

Review Ed itor
t 12:25 a.m., authorities responded to a person-with-a-weapon radio call and met with the complainant, learning from him that while wait-
ing for a friend to finish his work shift, he parked his car on the 500 block of Reed Street and fell asleep. Someone then knocked on his driver’s side window and inquired “Why are you here? We don’t like foreign cars around here.”
The victim contends that the stranger opened his door and stabbed him in the left leg. He closed the door to escape fur-ther injury but witnessed the figure slash-ing the driver’s side tires, Detective Dan-ielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The motorist pulled off and located an officer on the 1400 block of East Moy-amensing Avenue, where the law enforce-ment agent observed an individual with blood dripping from his hand. Follow-ing positive identification of the man by the complainant, who received treatment from Thomas Jefferson University Hos-pital personnel, the officer arrested Lloyd Knowles, reportedly recovered a pocket-knife in his pocket and had him transport-ed to Methodist Hospital for a laceration to his right hand. Authorities charged the 43-year-old resident of the 500 block of Reed Street with simple and aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, criminal mischief and possession of an instrument of crime. He awaits an Oct. 27 preliminary hearing.
Authorities are seeking the public’s assistance in cap-turing the perpetra-
tors of a Girard Estate-based robbery.The first suspect entered Metro PCS,
2121 Oregon Ave., at 4:35 p.m. Oct. 15 and asked to look at a phone. An accom-plice ventured inside a short time later and proceeded to head behind the counter while the initial figure stood watch.
An employee told the second person to move, but he responded “This is a rob-bery” and began to place phone boxes in
a backpack. The worker had to retrieve more bags, and the offender filled two of them with phones and accessories. They fled the business in a bluish gray vehicle, possibly a Toyota, and fled west on Ore-gon Avenue, having scored 22 phones and assorted accessories totaling $6,600.

Police are look-ing for a man who
robbed a Whitman financial institution.
The suspect entered TD Bank, 2653 S. Fifth St., at 3:22 p.m. Oct. 14 and handed the teller a demand note. Obtaining an un-disclosed amount of cash, he fled on foot, using Oregon Avenue for his eastbound escape.
Call the FBI at 215-418-4000, or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Surveillance video captured the image of a man who twice tried to burglarize a Pennsport business.
On Oct. 13, au-thorities released this picture in con-junction with the individual’s ventures to Moonshine Restaurant, 1825 E. Moya-mensing Ave. In the first instance, which occurred at 3:35 a.m. Sept. 19, the male vied to gain entry through a side win-dow but was unsuccessful, leading him to throw a brick from a nearby construction site, causing the front door glass to break. However, once inside, he became scared thanks to yells from neighbors and fled.
On his second attempt, which trans-pired at 3:10 a.m. Sept. 22, he discovered Moonshine’s owner had placed laminated tempered glass on the front door. He tried to break it three times by again using a brick, and residents scared him away, leading him to flee on a bicycle.

ince I have been striving to give my four-year-old son great exposure to compelling music, I figured I would devote this space to exploring songs
I feel have particular relevance to life in South Philly. These tunes certainly com-prise a tiny sample of the melodic mas-terpieces we can all explore in addressing who we are as residents of this emotionally charged expanse, but I hope I hit the right notes more often than not in my latest list.
Bob Dylan is def-initely not for everyone (I feel
he should be, but, hey, music is subjec-tive), but this 1965-released song warns of the perils of believing one can ever remain stagnant. It should be mandatory listen-ing for any locals who cannot open their hearts to any brand of novelty.
“A working class hero is something to be,” John Lennon opined in this 1971
gem. With South Philly abounding in individuals striving and struggling to support their families, this serves as a perfect reminder that true heroes exist not in films or comic books but in our humble neighborhoods.
I am a huge fan of The Beatles and could have made this list consist only of offerings
from the Liverpool lads. In selecting only one song, I went with their timeless 1968-issued advertisement for looking at adversity and vowing to overcome it.
South
Philly is rife with worship sites, so it is a guarantee that along with peti-
tions for their own growth, local believers are calling on their creator to assist their loved ones; therefore, I believe Dionne Warwick’s 1967 Burt Bacharach/Hal Da-
vid-penned classic channels our concern for fellow members of the human family.
: I am not a member of the Warwick Fan Club! This 1985
song, with Gladys Knight, Elton John and Stevie Wonder lending their talents, fur-ther proves that when in doubt, we should not keep confounding ourselves by think-ing we have all the answers.
This 1992 classic by U2 strengthens my stance that though South Philadelphians realize we
will often end up disappointed, we must find resolve, especially when stability proves fleeting.
Among other vows, Art Gar-funkel promises “when evening
falls so hard, I will comfort you” in this 1970 tearjerker penned by Paul Simon. Who could refuse a sentiment like that, particularly in such mystifying times when families often bicker and lose sight of their cohesion?
Cel-ebrating its 40th anniversary, this Pink Floyd brainchild expertly re-
flects the pain of parting with core com-ponents of our lives, something to which South Philadelphians, as fervent protectors of their loved ones’ lega-cies, are well-accus-tomed.
Better schools, im-proved streets, less noise, more op-
position to the impending casino project, and relentless ambition from our athletes? Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and the rest of The Rolling Stones give us an apt reply in this 1969 anthem.
I became aware of this 1961-issued beauty from Ben E. King through the 1986 film of the
same name and still find myself push-ing away tears upon hearing it. Blessed are those among us who know when to open our mouths for help, as South Phila-delphians prove every day just how much compassion they have for one another.

eparting from Benna’s, 1236 S. Eighth St., curious South Philly home connoisseurs were sent with a wrist-band to 10 Passyunk Square homes as
part of the Passyunk Square Civic Associa-tion’s (PSCA) 2015 Home Tour Saturday. Funds raised for the price of a wristband will generate money for the neighborhood’s cleaning program, gardening activities and beautification services.
At its easternmost edge, on the 1300 block of South Seventh Street, Patrick Man-ning and his wife, Jessica, are settling into their 2.5-bath and 3-bedroom house that they purchased in July after renting in West Philly. The Temple and Penn professors, re-spectively, have a 4-year-old named Frank, who’ll likely be attending Kirkbride El-ementary, 1501 S. Seventh St. They moved to Philly from Toronto about a year ago to teach. Ilene Wilder sold them their house and encouraged them to get invested in the PSCA, and they did. Is Philly home now?
“Absolutely,” said Patrick Manning. “We finally feel settled here, and we’re very hap-py to be here.”
The second-most southerly property be-longs to Rachel Street, whose incredible abode on the 1500 block of South 11th
Street can spy on the Singing Fountain. The owner of Hestia Construction, LLC, “de-sign-driven home remodeling,” did all the work herself on this stunner. She bought it in April 2014, a 4-bedroom and 3-bath mon-ster that she turned into a showroom for her distinctive and sophisticated taste. Having lived on the 400 block of Jackson Street and the 500 block of Moore Street, she’s get-ting to be an expert home-flipper with 1042 Tasker St. currently getting prepped for a spring ’16 sale.
Two other big-time charmers came from the 1400 block of Percy Street and the 1300 block of East Passyunk Avenue. On the for-mer, Kathryn and Justin Vadell had old pho-tos spread around their house as a glimpse of “before.” The five-years-married couple did all the work themselves with exposed brick along the stairwell accented by a work by street artist Nosego. They report that five South Philadelphians called the two-bedroom home with bunk beds in the bigger of the two non-master bedrooms. Melissa Scully and husband Robert own the latter location. They’ve been in South Philly for 17 years, including ten years on the 1300 block of South Alder Street, and credit G Space Design Architects, 726 S. Hutchinson
St., with the house’s stunning use of recy-cled wood and rounded hardwood hallways. Their brick backyard opens with a garage door to an alley that Scully says comes alive at night with teenagers and tourists.
Leah and Nick Ventrola’s home, on the 1300 block of East Passyunk Avenue was guarded by PSCA Home Tour volunteer Natalie Virgilio, herself a resident of the 900 block of Cross Street. Their beautiful tree-
populated back porch and third-floor patio smacked of a strikingly-rare South Philly green backyard. Mayrjo’s row home, also of the 900 block of Cross Street, was converted into a perfect retiree’s city perch by her son, Andrew. Maryjo’s friend and dog-walker said “the people that have come in today are just so charming.” - Bill Chenevert

he Andrew Jackson School, 1213 S. 12th St., got another feather in its cap last week when principal Lisa Kaplan was named as a Top 10 finalist for The
Best Schools’ Escalante-Gradillas Best in Education Prize. Of the selected principals from across the country, three of them hail from Philadelphia, with Kaplan the lone South Philadelphia contender. If she wins, the school will receive a $20,000 boost through a gift reward.
The Best Schools, edited in part by man-aging editor Wayne Downs, ranks colleges and educational programs but started the award program as a way of highlighting the positive in a typically bleak educational terrain.
“We believe too much ink is poured spreading bad news about the state of education…[but] we believe that a better approach is to celebrate those doing great work in the face of adversity,” Downs re-ported. “Our team took nearly two months to narrow down the nominees into the top 100, then top 20, [and] eventually the judges accepted 10 to celebrate as finalists – we hope to share [the winner] in about a week.”
Though the Friends of Jackson School 501(c)(3) has been instrumental since its founding in 2013, Kaplan’s been in the building for more than six years working to bridge budget gaps, drive up the student population and develop the school’s reputa-tion as a more-than-satisfactory neighbor-hood school. South Philly Review reached
out to a few fans of the former resident of 21st and Ritner streets for some kind words about the important work for which she’s now getting recognition.
“I am so happy for Lisa Kaplan and her well-deserved recognition for her exem-plary leadership at Andrew Jackson,” Bal-letX founding artistic director Christine Cox, whose company has been visiting the school for years now, said. “[She] will do whatever it takes to bring her kids the best learning experiences possible. Her passion, love, and deep commitment to her school is a wonderful example of leadership in our Philadelphia community.”
“[She] has stood by me through some difficult times in trying to sustain and grow both the program and the band,” Chris Arg-erakis, the director of HOME, the school’s beloved band, said of the administrator. “What I admire most about her is her re-fusal to let the problems that have plagued the Philadelphia School District over the past 4 to 5 years affect her or her school. She exudes positive energy and optimism,
which radiates through our hallways.”Former City Council-at-large candidate
and Jackson School neighbor Tom Wyatt, with children he and his wife anticipate sending to Kaplan, said “Principal Kaplan is tremendous. She leads with heart, smarts and relentlessness. She and her team have given inspirational meaning to ‘neighbor-hood school’ and are redefining what is possible in the face of so much turmoil in the Philadelphia education landscape.”
Another neighbor poised to send her child to Jackson, Dare Henry-Moss, emphasized that Kaplan’s optimism in the face of an ongoing funding crisis inspires.
“The crisis is putting enormous pressure on basic services and Principal Kaplan has been a shining example of how strong leadership, resourcefulness, and commu-nity engagement can help her school not only weather the storm but to keep improv-ing,” she said -Bill Chenevert

conduct a needs assessment examination and “PCMDV decided to address young men 9 to 17 years old who may be at risk for the juvenile justice system, by disconnect-ing and disengaging from the community.”
The program began this summer and guides five young-sters through a unique blend of programming, trips, structured conversations, journaling, and hosting a cadre of visitors from across the city on issues such as health, safety, and justice.
According to PCMDV and Rearing Successful Sons, Point Breeze is clearly a strong target for the program. The Philadelphia Department of Human Services reports that the neighborhood is 79 percent African American; that “the dropout rate from high school is close to 50%. Twenty-eight percent of the Point Breeze population earns $10,000 or less annually,” according to a PCMDV/RSS fall training guide, and that 30 percent of the males in Point Breeze are between 5 and 19 years old.
One of the most debilitating factors in the way of their success may sound surprising. Ebony magazine published a series of essays in the spring of 2013 that addressed challenges facing young black males. “The most critical of these challenges is a ‘lack of love.’ The desperation of poverty, absence of fathers, bad schools, and the hope-lessness in many black communities also are major con-tributors to the inadequate development of young black males,” according to the PCMDV/RSS report.
The Ebony series, plus the work of doctors Kenneth S. Ginsburg and Sara Kinsman, pediatricians in the Depart-ment of Adolescent Medicine at the Perelamn School of Medicine at Penn (who edited “Reaching Teens: Strengths-Based Communication to Build Resilience and Support Healthy Adolescent Development”), provided a model for Brisbon and her team. Ginsberg, a colleague of Brisbon’s, told her “you show them the value of love.” To which Brisbon says, “love and me fit because I’m a Christian.”
THIS SUMMER, YASIR, Darius, Jaden, Shawn and (a sec-ond) Jaden ventured to the National Constitution Center and the National Liberty Museum; the African American History Museum; Mother Bethel AME Church to witness the remains of its founder and legendary black Philadel-phian, Richard Allen; the Philadelphia History Museum; plus recreational, lighter fare like the Franklin Institute and a Phillies game.
All kinds of visitors and friends of the board have of-fered generosity. One board member invited the boys to her courtroom and taught them some of the constitution. The Philadelphia Police Department’s District 17 has come in to talk about arrests and interacting with cops. A drum instructor teaches drumming in the basement of the Gloucester House.
“We’re helping them understand that there are things happening outside their own world,” Brisbon’s son, Ed-
gar Brisbon, the program’s interim administrative leader, said. “What they tend to respond to is guidance and re-spect regardless of who’s here, it’s a matter of how they relate to the children.”
RSS has welcomed volunteers of all colors, ages and back-grounds – they’re all welcome as long as they’re respectful and treat the program adherents like the complex, budding humans they are.
“Build exposure to more than what they deal with on a day-to-day basis,” Edgar said. “Resilience to build courage and competency in some skill or skills, whatever that may be, and to be able to cope with the difficulties of being an African American individual in American society,” is how Delores explained it.
She says they aim to teach kids how to “navigate racism and not to take it as a problem so much but to figure out how to get through it without anger and hate.”
On Tuesday, volunteers Mr. Mike and Ms. Traci walked Yasir and “little” Jaden through an exercise that challenged them to maximize $20 with healthy and varied purchases at a grocery store. Like any 9- or 10-year-olds, they were full of energy and playfulness – Jaden showing me his Pokemon cards - and they clamored for Snap Circuits Jr., a game that makes building simple electrical circuits fun. “Big” Jaden, on Monday, regularly rapped the lyrics to “Hit the Quan. When asked what else their hypothetical “healthy store” should carry, one son said “LeBrons, iced coffee and Takis [hot chips].”
The program’s just begun, really, but their goals are high. “At this point, our thought is to get a good core group in this
age, like charter schools,” Edgar said. The participants are 9 to 12 years old at this point – teenag-
ers are a whole different beast that’ll get tackled as the core group grows.
“The work is fairly intensive – [we’re] learning who they are and how to respond. Five years from now, having 20 kids or more would be a reasonable goal.”
His matriarch sees value in affecting even one life. “If one or two of these kids ends up healthy and not killed,
I will have my reward,” she said.

ell aware of how the world often works hard to nurture negativity, Clare O’Malley strives to spread kindness
and accord in her endeavors, espe-cially stage-based pursuits. Finding herself grateful to tell tales for a liv-ing, the resident of the 1200 block of Dickinson Street is expressing her ex-citement by handling multiple roles in “Metamorphoses,” the Arden Theatre Co.’s season-opening adaptation of a timeless narrative poem.
“It is such a gift to be among so many wonderful people and to give audiences these truly engrossing stories,” she said of reveling in her
second assignment for the Old City-situated entity. “I take special joy in knowing that we’re tasked with giving these accounts to many individuals who have never heard them before, so we are enthused about helping them to transform as we portray characters go-ing through their own changes.”
Through Nov. 1, the Passyunk Square dweller and the South Philly-heavy cast, including husband Sean Bradley, are executing playwright Mary Zimmerman’s reworking of Ro-man poet Ovid’s enduring collection of myths. Addressing such themes as death, fate, greed and lost love, the components call for the performers to

address quests for continuity in a world where alterations love acting as nuisances and to analyze the need to modify one’s plans to experience any growth.
“It’s just like being an actor in that you have to keep looking forward,” the thes-pian said of adapting to adjustments and promoting belief in one’s resolve, which she and her peers convey through inter-actions in and around a 2,600-gallons-of-water-bearing pool, itself a symbol of renewal. “In doing that, you have to aban-don your ego, and press on. That’s what’s very evident in sharing and comprehend-ing this absolutely stunning text.”
The 10-person cast tackles selections from the 15-book opus, with each hire charged with portraying numerous char-acters, including O’Malley’s treatment of Eurydice opposite her partner’s Orpheus. Because of director Doug Hara’s im-mense knowledge of the material and her personal comprehension of its depth, the actress treasures the opportunities to en-lighten patrons and enhance her maturity, noting she feels more rooted and centered today than she did when making her inau-gural appearance at the Arden for 2010’s “The Threepenny Opera.” As a sign of her
progressive thinking, O’Malley also con-fessed that though she loves the daily les-sons that she acquires, she cannot wait to mesh them years from now to nail even more challenging roles.
“It’s wonderful to gather all your experi-ences and use them to help you to appre-ciate other pieces,” she said of regarding the future with fervent anticipation. “We evolve and we find out how to approach what lies ahead. For me, that’s thrilling.”
O’MALLEY RECEIVED TREMENDOUS expo-sure to literature as a Dublin-reared youth, with such titans as W.H. Auden, T.S. El-iot, James Joyce, and William Butler Yeats strengthening her love of words. An affin-ity for creativity runs in her family, with her most notably productive relative be-ing grandfather Thomas Kinsella, an ac-claimed poet and Society Hill resident. She gravitated toward musical theater at a young age and quickly developed a desire to venture to the United States, seeing a trip across the Atlantic Ocean as the key to crafting a career as an artist.
“There are so many opportunities here, particularly in Philadelphia,” O’Malley opined. “You can find so much diversity
and so many innovative people who want to give their audiences such rich stories; frankly, that’s beautiful.”
The metropolis’ pulchritudinous proper-ties first became evident to the Emerald Isle product when she came for a summer program during her high school Transition Year. Moving across the pond at 18, she credits the amazing personnel at The Uni-versity of the Arts, including South Philly inhabitant Charles Gilbert, the founder of the institution’s Ira Brind School of The-ater Arts, with intensifying interest in her vocation. That dedication led to her dis-tinction as valedictorian, with O’Malley revealing that her giddiness to grow as a performer often led her to run to classes.
“It’s a sheer thrill to have been able to go there, and it’s been a delight to be a professional in this city,” she said. “In the long run, it’s all about the work and giving your best so that a project can succeed.”
With admirable turns in plays back home, the committed practitioner has become a bubbly and benign hire for numerous area entities, including 11th Hour and Inis Nua theater companies, Theatre Horizon and the Walnut Street Theatre, with concert/staged readings, television/commercial/
industrial employment and a reporter role in the upcoming “Rocky” franchise entry “Creed” increasing her affection for gain-ing wisdom by losing oneself in a plot.
“I like to bring my roots to what I do,” O’Malley said. “I think that whatever we go through has the ability to help us to add depth and nuance to our missions in life. I can tell you I feel blessed and a tad lucky to have what I have.”
Also a certified personal trainer, she fur-ther encourages others to realize the power of self-belief minus any vanity, noting that the merger of her identities helps to keep her humble and to contemplate the vast universe in which we all reside. Following “Metamorphoses,” she will immediately start rehearsals for Quintessence Theatre Group’s “Hansel and Gretel,” with Brad-ley as her sibling.
“What a life where my career intersects with my husband’s,” O’Malley gushed. “It sounds like a cliché, but all of this is a dream come true.” SPR

So I hear you’re wearing Depends,” is the
unsubtle way that my dear, blunt Uncle
Nunzi put it. You want subtlety, go listen
to the Bel Canto Opera Company, says
my Uncle. Don’t ask.
Anyway, yeah, I am wearing male diapers,
but only sometimes (although I doubt that they
are Depends since my wife purchased them and
she is big on generics). It’s another interesting
side effect of chemo. I have reached the halfway
mark in my treatments, and it gets more inter-
esting all the time. All I can do is smile my way
through it (and if it helps, wear the clown nose
and the “happy face” sticker provided by the
two volunteer clowns that visit at every treat-
ment). Why do it at all and even write about it
as I do in these columns--simple--because the
treatments work!
I explained to Uncle this is just a passing
phase, forgoing the opportunity to say that if he
ever encounters the problem at his age, it will
be much more permanent. I look at my situation
this way - attractive women at elaborate cock-
tail parties will look at me in my Armani suit
and wonder, “Is he or isn’t he wearing diapers
tonight?” My wife reminds me there are only
three problems with the foregoing sentence:
we don’t receive invitations to cocktail par-
ties (elaborate or not); attractive women tend
to stare at younger men who don’t suffer from
occasional diarrhea; and I don’t own an Ar-
mani suit. I am much more likely to hear from
a hostess that if I’m not wearing my diaper to
avoid sitting on my nicely upholstered couch
(without the Scotchgard). So, I guess you say,
as Uncle Nunzi puts it, “It all depends.”
I am writing these words a day removed from
the first Democratic debate, which Hillary Clin-
ton won easily, helped by the gallantry of Ber-
nie Sanders. The verdict was echoed by pretty
much all the national media outlets (I haven’t
seen any polling at this writing), so it doesn’t
depend on whether one supports Clinton or not.
When Sanders, in a noble but politically unwise
decision, eliminated the e-mail controversy as a
topic for discussion, it was pretty much over.
One could almost read Clinton’s mind as she
shook his hand--”You are a mensch, but we
don’t elect menschs president in this country.”
If Uncle Joe Biden was sitting in his living
room watching the debate, he had to count
Clinton’s stellar performance among the most
telling signs for him not to get into the race. A
Biden run after the former First Lady knocked
it out of the park would have been like trying to
steal a scene from Meryl Streep. ...
As my former boss used to say, where you
stand depends on where you sit. There’s a
petition circulating that would implement no-
vehicle zones on some summer days in Center
City. The petition, pushed by the city’s biking
community, so far has garnered about 2,700
signatures. The idea has won support from
the Democratic and Republican candidates for
mayor and wasn’t supposed to be implemented
until 2016 until Mayor Nutter jumped in with
both wingtips. Mayor Mike, whose love of disc
jockeying is exceeded only by his love of bikes,
wants to implement the proposal this year. But
summer’s over, Mayor Mike, and surely there
are details to work out before implementing a
repeat of some of the disastrous effects of the
Pope’s visit. The Mayor has been thinking of
his legacy for a long time (some would say
around the beginning of his first term). If the
no-vehicle zone proposal became implement-
ed this year (I think a snowy day during the
Christmas season would be just perfect), Nutter
would add to his record. Maybe the Mayor sees
a future in becoming the federal czar of biking.
Personal note--one of the bikers was quoted as
saying he loved the no-vehicle zones during the
recent Pope’s visit because he wasn’t afraid of
getting hit by a car. Me--I’ve had more close
calls getting hit by a speeding biker who is
oblivious of the traffic laws. Maybe the Mayor
could make sure the driving rules are enforced
against the bikers, too, when he gets around
to eliminating cars on no-vehicle days. While
they’re at it, they can determine how to get food
to those restaurants that lost money during the
Pope’s visit...
The State’s budget fight continues with no ap-
parent solution, as Pennsylvania is determined
to reenact the dysfunction we see on the federal
level. Folks, I’m no more interested in paying
more taxes than you are, but it all depends. If
paying a little more tax in return for the frackers
getting taxed so we can have a stable funding
basis for our schools, I’m all in. This business
of Republican no-tax pledges flies in the face of
reality. Vital programs grow more expensive. I
don’t care a fig about your silly no-tax pledge.
Your sainted Ronald Reagan raised taxes many
times. Stop the hating on George H. W. Bush,
whose bravest acts were to refrain from trying
to topple Saddam Hussein and breaking his no
tax increase pledge for the good of the nation.
And, yes, right now I’m wearing a diaper.
I’m happy and secure. So is my wife. SPR

Review Intern
hroughout South Philadelphia, the un-sung heroes of the community are the healthcare leaders who have delivered service to millions of residents over the
past half-century.Diane Pirollo, who now serves as the foun-
dation development and community servic-es director employee of Methodist Hospi-tal, 2301 S. Broad St., has seen changes in healthcare reform in Philadelphia for more than four decades. The biggest thing she be-lieves Methodist has helped the community with, however, is the merge between Meth-odist and Thomas Jefferson University Hos-pital to expand the demand of medical needs and delivered service.
“We’re basically the only community hos-pital in Philadelphia, and there’s not that many community hospitals in general any-more,” Pirollo, of the 1300 block of Fitzger-ald Street, said. “Our specialties and services are all about academic stature and quality and the community has been better since.”
Methodist’s success over the past two de-cades since its merger has supplied South Philadelphians with primary care for vascu-lar medicine, bariatric medicine, radiology service, elbow surgery, and cancer care.
“[Jefferson] made it possible to bring what I think is the best academic medicine you can get in the community at their doorstep,” the Lower Moyamensing dweller said. “We want to basically provide an avenue for peo-ple to have preventative health care.”
Richard Dittrich, of the Professional Aes-thetics and Wellness Center, 1315 Wolf St., has been has been helping patients to maintain healthy weight loss programs, sk-incare, and hormone balance for more than 30 years.
“It’s really about teaching them to be healthier and living happier,” the physi-cian said. “That’s the approach I take with people.”
In addition, the Lower Moyamensing-based healthcare center has had its primary focus on improving the lives of women’s health by relieving stress from natural body function changes through integrative medi-
cine and therapy in affiliation with Method-ist and Jefferson
“A lot of women come in and feel great and end up sending their husbands to ther-apy,” Dittrich said. “It’s a really gratifying experience to work with people and make them look and feel a whole lot better.”
One of the newest projects in South Phila-delphia is the added Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia facility, which will be located at 1700 S. Broad St in the Newbold neigh-borhood.
The new care center, which was previ-ously home to the Free Library of Philadel-phia’s South Philadelphia Branch, will also combine the City-owned Health Center and CHOP’s pediatric practice center into one building.
It is slated to open in December and will provide clinical care and literacy services for children and adults under its health, rec-reation and library facilities.
“I think a lot of major regional hospitals like Jefferson and like Children’s are trying to come into the community more,” Dittrich said. “South Philadelphia is a booming com-
munity. It’s important to meet their needs on a local basis.”
The Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in March 2010, upheld by the Senate in June ’12, and finally put into full effect January ’14, has helped insure cit-izens in South Philly through the Medicaid and Children’s Health Insured Program.
According to the City of Philadelphia Public Health Department, 15.1 percent of adults ages 18-64 in Southwest Philadel-phia are without health insurance, and 20.7 percent in Southeast Philadelphia are also uninsured. But by ’16, medical insurance is expected to increase by 12.8 million nation-wide.
“We receive about 40,000 or more pa-tients in the emergency room every year, so we’re integrated into the fabric of the health care system,” Pirollo said. “It’s been help-ing so much for people that were not insured before now have insurance coverage and that really increases their ability to receive care.”

t 10 a.m. Monday, Rachael Ray will feature personnel from Ristorante Pesto, 1915 S. Broad St., on her eponymous show as part of the Lit-tle Italy cook-off competition. The television
appearance marks another element of a great year for the location, which in March won the South Philly Review Read-ers’ Choice titles as top BYOB and place to have a romantic dinner. The competi-tion will see the site pitted against tal-ent from New York and San Francisco, with Ray crowning a champion during the broadcast.

his classic Italian-American dish from Theresa Strati brings together the mixtures of linguine, Italian tuna and creamy clam sauce to produce something simple yet amaz-
ingly flavorful. What’s even more satisfying about this creation is that it is quick to make, taking fewer than 20 minutes from pan and pot to plate.
To top off each of the six servings, the resident of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street recommends adding Romano cheese for an extra delight. With this oh-so-tempting brainchild yielding so many servings, consider sharing it with a neighbor, bringing it to a social gathering, or making it for an evening dinner. No matter the opportunity, don’t clam up.

hen Kanella opened near Washing-ton Square a number of years ago, Chef/owner Konstantinos Pitsillides taught Philadelphians that Greek/
Cypriot food was more than stuffed grape leaves and moussaka, with his menu reflect-ing the dishes he enjoyed at home. His venue quickly became popular with the critics and the public.
Kanella, which means cinnamon in Greek, recently moved to larger quarters on South Front Street, which once housed Frederick’s and Village Belle. A liquor license came with the move.
The space has a bar in the front room, new booths and perfect lighting in the dining room and a kitchen table for those patrons who like to watch chefs work their magic. We sat at the bar and enjoyed one of the finest meals I have had in as many weeks.
Cocktails ($10-$12) are well-mixed by the young bartenders who can answer any ques-tion one has about the menu.
Homemade bread and a small dish of tahini kept us happy as we perused the explanations. I particularly like to eat foods I usually do not prepare at home.
There is an emphasis on vegetables, as they enhance any number of proteins on the bill of fare. Each dish is designed to feature a veg-etable and a starch, a customized plate system that began to take hold during the 1990s.
The octopus appetizer ($12) was a tour de force of tastes and textures. The octopus emit-ted delicate flavor and was extremely tender. Just the right touch of red wine vinegar en-sured the dish was not on the sour side. I loved the giant white butter beans included in this offering. They look like large lima beans but lack the sometimes dreadful mealy texture of the legumes.
The sardine appetizer ($9) was a tasty sur-prise. Its chief components are usually boned, marinated, brushed with olive oil and grilled. But Pitsillides partially deboned them, topped them with seasoned crumbs and grilled them to perfection. He paired the sardines with a spicy tomato salad that was a fine culinary foil to the mild flavor of the sardines.
Eggplant often takes center stage in Greek/Cypriot fare. We shared the eggplant salad, ($8) which, like the previous courses, was a twist on classic dishes. A slice of grilled egg-plant, dressed in a bit of olive oil and lemon juice mixed with fragrant mint and green ol-ives, shared the plate with a small mound of arugula and homemade rich whipped yogurt.
I immediately got big eyes when I read the entrees on offer. I had tasted Kanella’s rabbit at the former location, but I wanted to sample something new.
Grilled whole poussin ($28) was bathed in a heady tahini sauce and served with small bites of cauliflower and perfectly cooked rice. A poussin is a small chicken. It is usual-ly roasted but the smoky flavor from the grill took the little bird to a new level. It was cut in half and grilled on the bone. At one point, I just picked up parts of the bird and enjoyed. The cauliflower also imparted a smoky fla-vor, and its mix with fragrant rice, studded with minced fresh herbs, made the side dish a winner.
Whole trout ($28) was another option I would order again. It was prepared in a saf-fron almond sauce, which speaks of the Mediterranean. Saffron, which is the stems of crocuses, is a costly spice but adds rich color and flavor to any number of dishes. Trout is a mild fish. I particularly liked the warm potato salad, laced with minced fresh basil, and a bit of lobster.
I have enjoyed red and white wines from Greece but was paused to try a rose. A glass of Aivalis remeo ($10) was luscious, dry with a fine taste of fruit. We travelled to Spain and discovered Estrella ($5), a tasty beer that went well with the fish and poussin.
Service was excellent throughout our meal. Kanella was fully booked, so reservations are a must.
The original spot was also known for its brunch. My hope is that the new location will follow suit soon, as I will be among the first to book a table.
Four tips of the toque to Kanella.

f music had proven a tad more tempting, Richard Grab would have chosen shredding guitars over dicing onions. Considering cooking a greater generator of opportuni-
ties, he has reserved for himself a career teem-ing with potential and is exploring his culinary capabilities as an executive chef for Aramark.
“It provides me with a rush,” the 32-year-old said from the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., of his passion for provisions. “I love producing plates that can cater to diverse tastes and interests. That really keeps me on my toes.”
The Center City occupant has had busy hands for Comcast Spectacor, the owner and operator of the entertainment venue, for five years. An alumnus of the Culinary Institute of America and the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, he learned early in life about the joys of food preparation from his mother, Su-san, whom he happily recalled would elect to make him Oreos instead of purchasing them. Her influence and his drive for excellence have resulted in a revered rise throughout his field, with the summer yielding his current title.
“Whether we’re dealing with a concert or a sporting event, my focus is pulling off excel-lent execution,” Grab said. “With regards to our menu preparation and modification, we con-template what will serve everyone as a whole and place an emphasis on really having the fla-vors come through so they can combine what they’re eating with what they’re listening to or watching to have a wonderful time.”
With that enthusiasm in mind, the kitchen helmer decided to share the recipe for Seared Chilean Sea Bass, a members-only item within the location’s Cadillac Grille. A new offering, it stands as a stellar example of the fruits of his infatuation with flavorful dishes. Grab, who caps the creation and the other elements with a roasted caper vinaigrette, noted the entire se-lection reflects his affinity for Mediterranean cuisine and revealed the meshed components will delight those seeking new thrills for their taste buds. With an impending wedding and the
beginning of his master’s studies ahead of him,, nobody can knock his awareness of novelty.
“I think it will be fun for readers to prepare,” he said. “It is for me.”
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season the bass with salt. Heat blended olive oil in sauté pan until hot. Sear the fish on one side until golden brown, and place in oven until fully cooked. Let it rest for three minutes before plating.
Sweat the onions and the cloves until translu-cent, and season with salt and pepper. Add the wa-ter, and bring to a boil. Add the wheat, and simmer until cooked, around 10 to 15 minutes, stirring oc-casionally. Wash the fennel, and slice thinly using a mandoline. Let sit in ice water for 20 minutes.
Zest the oranges, and place to the side. Peel the oranges, and segment them, retain-ing all of the juice. Wash the parsley, and pull whole leaves, keeping them whole. Combine the ingredients in a bowl, and let sit for an hour.

hen Joe Papp gained exposure to soccer as a 5-year-old Bucks County-based youth, he found every aspect of the beautiful
game a struggle and deemed his play “terrible.” Persisting in his passion to be a productive participant, the resident of the 300 block of Jackson Street also real-ized how overcoming the sport’s inherent difficulties could serve as a metaphor for combatting far more agonizing ills and encourages others to boot their burdens through the Philadelphia Sports Network and its relationship with Street Soccer Philadelphia.
“As we mature, one hope is that people will grow more self-sufficient,” the 29-year-old opined. “However, that can be very difficult if you’ve had a hard hand dealt to you, so pushes in the right direc-tion can be that motivator that changes your life.”
Through Street Soccer Philadelphia, the Whitman inhabitant unites with peers to grace homeless men and women with compassion and appreciation for their be-loved pastime. They base their principal teachings on components of the game, with Papp noting that the individuals’ involvement completes a treasured tri-umvirate of moving from despondency to resiliency.
“If you need help, it’s one thing to real-ize that, and it’s another to make a request for assistance,” Papp said. “However, you have to use the resources, and following through with them then becomes your objective.”
He and the other do-gooders assist a predominantly male population, with the charges looking to gain enhanced self-esteem and employment. The former falls to Papp to inspire, and he uses the notion that an individual’s growth nourishes a team’s evolution as his chief stance. He likens their realizations to that of students
who make breakthroughs to their teach-ers’ delight, an apt comparison consider-ing that Saturday marked his one-year wedding anniversary to Dana Rose Smith-Papp, an English and language arts instructor at St. Anthony of Padua Regional Catholic School, 913 Pierce St., and the 2014 South Philly Review Read-ers’ Choice selection as top elementary school teacher.
“There are so many life lessons and life skills that people can pick up from play-ing a sport,” Papp said. “I think someone might even be more willing to make those links if he or she has had some trying ex-periences. I know that when I work with the men and women, I see possibility at every turn. In the grand scheme, it’s easy to act for your own benefit, but when you
give, you get, and I’m going to spread that message for as long as I’m on this earth.”
BORN IN LANGHORNE, Papp had opportuni-ties to explore baseball and football, but soccer resonated the most, despite what he considered an initially lackluster at-tempt to grasp its grace.
“I just didn’t really take to what else was out there,” he said of gravitating toward the endurance-testing endeavor. “I’m not saying that I was even a good player, far from it, but it’s something that I wanted to stick with because it was fun no matter what level of success I achieved.”
As he matured, Papp, who majored in marketing at Temple University, became more of a polished athlete and grew in his knowledge of the game, eventually
finding himself best suited to serve as a defender. Interactions with accomplished figures inspires even more curiosity and bred his affiliation with the Philadelphia Sports Network.
“You go to so many clubs and organiza-tions and find so many people who are obsessed with how they perform,” Papp said of the competitive yet confounding culture advanced by many registrants. “With the Philadelphia Sports Network, you could become involved in so many sports, meet people and feel absolutely no pressure to be good.”
He commenced his connection in 2008 and has held the title of soccer commis-sioner for three years. The network uses numerous South Philly locations for its leagues, including the Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 740 S. 17th St., the lone local spot where one can catch Papp in action.
“We’re usually quite active because soc-cer can be so exhilarating if you’re curi-ous about the workings of the action and having a good time with great people,” the gregarious gentleman said of a lesson obtained from his labors, which include overseeing five seasons with seven-week leagues. “I’m still learning, too, so that makes me happy. I find it great to encour-age and be encouraged, and soccer is a great outlet for fulfilling both of those.”
Thank to his engrossed approach to-ward the sport, employment as a service delivery manager for the East Norriton-headquartered HighPoint Solutions and domestic bliss with his bride, Papp counts himself as a fortunate fellow and ac-knowledges that many of his most prized realizations have come through belief in his abilities and receptivity to the gener-osity of others, the exact boons that he wishes to offer his Street Soccer Philadel-phia roster members in earnest.
“I love playing this game,” he said of his thrice-a-week obsession. “I’ve always loved this city, too, so with all that’s go-ing on in my life right now, I never lose sight of how blessed I am. I’ll be the first one to tell you to be persistent. You’ll see results.” SPR
