To the Editor: First of all, I want to join everyone
in welcoming back Tom Cardella to the South Philly Review. We missed his folksy humor. His column in last week’s Review (“The homefront: Korea”) was especially meaningful to me. My late husband Stan-ley was a Korean War veteran. He enlisted in the Army when he was 17 in 1950, and after a stint in Germany, was transferred to the Korean battlefield where he suf-
fered wounds and was briefly captured.Tom is just a couple of years older than
I am. When the war started, I was in the fifth grade with my twin brother Danny. That Christmas we received a special gift we were meant to share — a print-ing press. It was old fashioned, so that we had to set the moveable type manually to a cylinder that we turned to ink the letters and print the page.
We got the bright idea to print a small
weekly newspaper for our class. It was only one page. Among others, I found a rubber stamp of a soldier. Each week, I looked up the casualty numbers in the newspaper, and we would reprint them under the soldier’s image. So while my future husband was battling the commu-nists in North Korea, I was keeping track of war casualties.
We all have our memories of those days. Many of Tom’s are identical to mine. Many firsts, like the first televisions, Ike, Milton Berle, Lucy, even “The Catcher in the Rye.” And of course the birth of rock and roll.
But I especially treasure the memory of that little weekly newspaper that Danny and I sold in school for a penny, and how it made us so aware of those who sacri-ficed for us decades ago.
To the Editor:I would like to welcome back Tom
Cardella. We missed you and your col-umn.
Thank you for sharing your medical sto-ry with your readers (“The recuperator,” July 16), Happy to hear that all is well with you and that you could see the humor in such a serious matter. It is a testament to your courage. I am sure it will be an inspiration to those in a similar condition and give them hope.

Review Managing Ed itor
n July 23, Kim Meas, of the 600 block of West Moyamensing Av-enue, learned his fate from U.S. District Court Judge Jan E. Dubois.
According to a U.S. Department of Justice-supplied release, the 60-year-old native of Cambodia served as the managing director of LS Services Corp., formerly 1615 Sny-der Ave., an employee leasing company.
The report notes that Meas pleaded guilty on Nov. 24 to two counts of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, two counts of transporting illegal aliens and two counts of failure to collect and pay federal income and employment taxes. It explains that as the principal cor-porate officer for LS, he negotiated labor leasing contracts with Greater Delaware Valley entities that leased temporary work-ers from his corporation. He also created approximately 14 shell companies to craft the illusion that workers leased to other companies were actually employees of the shell corporations.
Because of that, the report notes, the shell corporations would be responsible for collecting and paying employment and income taxes for the hires, not LS. Meas attempted to thwart the Internal Revenue Service from determining the identity of the employer of the illegal figures, along with the amount of employment and in-come taxes that the employer of the indi-viduals was required to pay to the federal treasury.
The document also states LS transported the aliens free of charge to numerous work sites in company vehicles. The companies that leased employees from LS did not withhold federal income taxes on wages paid to the individuals, nor did they collect and pay to the IRS the employment taxes on the workers’ incomes.
Along with the two-and-a-half-year jail stint, Dubois ordered Meas to make res-
titution to the IRS in the amount of $1.7 million during three years of supervised release, with a $600 special assessment and $23 million in forfeiture as additional consequences.
Three males combined to burglarize a Point Breeze home.
At 1:45 a.m. July 17, the individuals ap-proached a residence on the 1300 block of South Chadwick Street, with one remov-ing a bulb from a light fixture before they all split. A short time later, they returned and forced open a window to gain entry into the property. Having taken several items, they fled in an unknown direction.
To report information, call South Detec-tives at 215-686-3013 with DC#15-17-033611, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Police are try-ing to track down a man who robbed a Whitman establish-ment.
S u r v e i l l a n c e footage captured the image of the at-large criminal at 3:30 a.m. July 6 when he cased Dunkin’ Donuts, 330 W. Oregon Ave. Having placed a clear plastic bag over his head, the individual entered the store armed with a knife and jumped over the counter.
Taking an unknown amount of money, he removed the bag and fled the business, with witnesses last catching him running through a parking lot toward Fifth Street and Oregon Avenue. Authorities reported no injuries in the incident.

Humane-law workers rescued 15 cats from a Dickinson Square West home last week.
Responding to a neighbor’s tip, officers executed a search warrant in the area of Fourth and Sigel streets July 23, finding a fallen feline and the aforementioned other pets living in unsanitary conditions, the Pennsylvania SPCA said. The owner sur-rendered the animals, who received trans-port to SPCA headquarters for medical evaluation and adoption preparation.
To report animal abuse, call 866-601-7722.
Authorities arrest-ed a homeless man for allegedly bur-glarizing four local stores.
On July 21, police announced they had detained Eugene Fugarino, transport-ing him to Central Detective Division to discuss his pos-
sible involvement in the quartet of cases. Law enforcement officials contend that the 66-year-old burglarized Cricket Cel-lular Phone Store, 1422 Snyder Ave., at 11:45 a.m. May 12; Flying Fish Seafood, 2652 S. Ninth St., at 12:50 a.m. May 13; Rita’s Water Ice, 1901 Oregon Ave., at 3 a.m. June 15; and Oriental Chinese Res-taurant, 1801 S. Broad St., at 4:40 a.m. June 21. He had not posted his $25,000 bail as of press time and awaits an Aug. 6 preliminary hearing.
Police arrested two South Philly men for their alleged roles in 12 burglaries, in-cluding 11 local heists.
At 4:43 a.m. July 23, authorities de-tained Tony Kimhong and Chhoeuth Kim as they supposedly attempted to burglar-ize The Saloon Restaurant, 750 S. Sev-enth St. According to police, Kimhong, 24, tried to force open the door to the Bella Vista location while Kim, 31, acted as a lookout.
After further investigation of the first in-dividual, law enforcement officials identi-
fied him as the suspect in the following burglaries: April 30 at Little Italy Pizza, 342 Queen St.; May 24 at Centerfolds Lounge, 1602 E. Passyunk Ave.; June 7 at Pho Ha Saigon, 320 W. Oregon Ave.; June 24 at Bing Bing Dim Sum, 1648 E. Passyunk Ave., and Cloud 9 Vapor Store, 1832 E. Passyunk Ave.; June 25 at Stogie Joe’s, 1801-1803 E. Passyunk Ave.; June 28 at Adobe Cafe, 1919 E. Passyunk Ave.; July 3 at Bainbridge Barrel House, 625-627 S. Sixth St.; July 4 at Artisan Bak-ery, 1218 Mifflin St.; July 8 at Birra, 1700 E. Passyunk Ave.; and July 16 at Bridget Foy’s, 200 South St. Police charged Kim-hong, of the 2300 block of South Sixth Street, with burglary, criminal trespass-ing, criminal mischief, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property. He had not posted his $15,000 bail as of press time and awaits an Aug. 3 status hearing. They pressed the same charges on Kim, of the 700 block of Jackson Street, with pos-session of an instrument of crime added. He had not posted his $50,000 bail and also awaits an Aug. 3 hearing.
Authorities are looking for a man who robbed a girl in Girard Estate.
S u r v e i l l a n c e video captured the image of the indi-
vidual at 7 p.m. July 21 as he wandered around 16th and Ritner streets. After an hour, he began to follow a 14-year-old girl on the 2400 block of South 16th Street, eventually grabbing her phone and fleeing the area on Ritner Street.
To report information, contact South Detective Division at 215-686-3013 with DC#15-01-029068, text PPD-TIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com /forms.

Review Staff Writer
olumbus Square Park’s about to get really funny. REV Theatre Company, which splits its time be-tween New York City and Philadelphia, is staging a two-night run of William Shakespeare’s “The
Comedy of Errors,” and it’s all for free. Running off the success of REV’s treatment of “Errors” at the Cape May Shakespeare Festival, the players continue to bring the-ater to parks and non-theater spaces with a mission of treating classic texts with reverence but creative imagi-nations.
“A lot of people are terrified of Shakespeare, and a lot of people think it’s boring – we want to blast away the cobwebs, and there’s nothing boring about what we do,” Rudy Caporaso, REV’s co-artistic director, said. “This ain’t your grandma’s Shakespeare. You’ll have a lovely evening of summer fun.”
He and the play’s director, Rosey Hay (the company’s other co-artistic director), are in the process of planting some roots here in Philly. They’re temporarily stationed at a house in Queen Village at Second and Fitzwater streets, the home of a Cape May Festival producer and company ally.
“We are living in South Philly right now and it’s more than just temporary,” Hay said.
“Our lives are indeed a tale of two cities with a huge primary focus on Philly right now,” Caporaso added.
The play, which will commence at 6 p.m. at 12th and Reed streets tonight and tomorrow, is a little on the ob-scure end, an earlier comedy that rarely gets produced. That ends up being a good thing – it’s not simple, per se, but it’s also not nearly as complex as a history play or the playwright’s later fantasies.
“It’s about two sets of identical twins who are lost very soon after their births, and they are reunited through a se-ries of mistaken identities and crazy madcap things hap-
pen,” Hay said. “There are crazy, zany ingredients.”The press release embellishes with great detail: “Take
two pairs of identical twins, a jealous wife and her love-struck sister, a greedy merchant, a father whose head will be chopped off at sunset, a dimwitted courtesan, a stolen necklace, one angry nun, a greasy kitchen wench and an exorcist, add in Shakespeare’s brilliant, sparkling lan-guage and the result is a concoction of delightful lunacy and farcical delirium.”
Caporaso, who’ll also portray a set of twins, says his choreography includes “extreme and vibrant physicalness to the point of athleticism.” There will be “slapstick and classic screwball comedy harkening back to the movies of the ‘30s – I’ve been influenced by The Three Stooges, of course Charlie Chaplin, and Lucille Ball.”
Part of REV’s mission is disassociating theater with a silent room.
“Theater doesn’t have to be done in a darkened room
where people sit quietly,” Hay said. “I hate theater in quiet, darkened rooms,” Caporaso
chimed in. The early start time encourages family participation
and helps actors engage with audience members.“We’re very keen and committed to the idea of immer-
sive theater, which is hugely popular right now,” Capo-raso admitted. “People can expect an overall enveloping experience, a lot of audience interactive stuff.”
Audiences are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs if desirable, snacks and drinks and enjoy themselves for two hours.
Ilene Wilder, president of the Columbus Square Ad-visory Council, was instrumental in getting REV to the park.
“Rudy is hilarious. He is going to be a lot of fun. They did ‘Hamlet’ in Scranton earlier this year, and Rudy was really, really great – they’re fun, cooky theater people,” Wilder said. “We haven’t had anything like this in a while. Since I’ve been here for the last 10 or 12 years, this is kind of the first cultural activity we’ve had.”
Wilder says more rooted residents have reported that the Philadelphia Orchestra used to come down to play in the park. She says she’s contacted Shakespeare in the Park and Pennsylvania Ballet, but this event is also meant to show neighbors how the park might be used when it’s overhauled. The Passyunk Square inhabitant said locals can expect a groundbreaking in spring of 2016 on a multi-million dollar renovation.
She and her board thought REV’s two-night residence might be an ideal fundraiser, but then REV received a grant to bring Shakespeare to public places for free. They switched gears but they’re working in a fundraising an-gle.
“We’ve got some shops in the Avenue who have agreed to raffle off their services so they can come to your home and make dinner for you,” Wilder reported of a raffle they’ll sell tickets for tonight and tomorrow. “Mostly we’re doing it so that I can show people the things we can do in the park when it’s done.”

wo retired School District of Philadel-phia administrators who served at a Point Breeze school surrendered their academic credentials as part of an investigation into
cheating on standardized state exams. News broke July 23 that Darlynn L. Gray,
whose most recent assignment was as princi-pal of Delaplaine McDaniel School, 1801 S. 22nd St., and Ellen J. Berson, who had been the site’s assistant principal, made the decision due to the Department of Education’s claim they violated the “integrity and security” of the
Pennsylvania System of School Assessment.In becoming the 10th and 11th district edu-
cators to receive discipline since the 2011 dis-covery of a statewide cheating scandal, the two women, who retired from the district two years ago, become part of an ongoing tale in which authorities claim they and more than 100 other educators doctored or helped to alter scores to make it seem as if their students had achieved great gains. A report on the matter notes that in April ’13, both had complaints placed against them for professional misconduct, with it add-ing that Gray, who became the principal in ’06, surrendered her credentials in June and Berson parted with hers July 13. - By Joseph Myers

Its mission bullets include “support children and families along their life journeys” and “preserve and promote safe, nurturing, and permanent families.”
Cathy Fuller works at Bethanna in com-munity engagement. She says they’re the winning CUA, after DHS put out a call soliciting requests for proposals, and they serve the 1st, 3rd and 17th police districts, as well as the 6th and 9th.
“We’re going to be running meetings trying to get key stakeholders to come and present their programs — it’s about get-ting resources out to the community and [meetings] are a way of spreading aware-ness of what’s happening in their own backyard,” Fuller said.
Bethanna contracts out truancy services to United Communities, where it special-izes in case management and intervening in homes when DHS determines help is necessary.
“The CUA provides the case manage-ment services that DHS used to provide,” Fuller explained. “If someone were to suspect child abuse or neglect, DHS will
investigate; it’s still up to DHS to figure out what services they are receiving and at what level. If it’s parenting, housing, jobs, drug and alcohol [abuse], our case managers are going to be setting them up and connecting them to services. We want to strengthen families.”
What about the momentum that EPIC and junior EPIC stakeholders had going on in South Philly?
“We lost a lot of funding, now we’re operating without any funding at all,” Smith reported. “We got a small grant from DHS, but that’s not even a portion of what we got before. That last month or so they’ve been operating with no fund-ing. We’ve been making it work, though; where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
ANTON MOORE’S GOT will, too, and his organization Unity in the Community is in full Peace Week mode with a fourth an-nual celebration of peace in South Philly. A Public Service Announcement they created is a devastating reminder: gun
violence is taking away sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters at an alarming rate, fracturing families and threatening stability.
It started more than eight years ago when Moore organized the first annual Unity in the Community Block Party.
“I had an idea and I was like ‘I would love to bring artists to my community to perform’ and we talked about it and I said ‘I’ll get a stage and see what happens.’ And my first guests were Gillie Da Kid and Jazmine Sullivan.”
He’s keeping the talent for Saturday’s block party, at 20th Street and Snyder Avenue, a secret, but his track record is impressive.
“People were excited and every year I just built momentum,” Moore said.
Beanie Sigel, Meek Mill, Kiana Tay-lor, Angela Simmons, Peedi Crakk, Lil Mama, Marsha Ambrosius, and Lil’ Mo have all graced Unity in the Community’s block party stage. But the Block Party’s a finale to a slew of programming Moore’s
team has put together. “The block party should be more than
one day,” Moore said of the impetus for a full Peace Week. With a recent com-munity softball game, peace rally, senior expo and yesterday’s record expungement clinic, he’s trying to reach a broad spec-trum of South Philadelphians. Thursday sees a visit from Mayor Michael Nutter to 20th and Snyder at 6 p.m. for Operation College Help (“We’ll surprise some kids and get them money for books for col-lege”); Friday’s annual Ball 4 Peace takes place at Universal Audenreid Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., 6 p.m.; and the big block party runs from 2 to 8 p.m. Saturday. Aug. 1. See unityinthecommu-nity215.com for details.
On the wide array of programming, Moore says “That’s what we’re going for – how can we make Peace Week for everyone? We touch on just about every demographic,” he noted. “Everyone needs peace, from kids to grown-ups to seniors, we want to make sure we send that mes-sage. Unity in the Community is here to connect, and we’re going to connect by any means necessary.”
The block party, Moore assures, isn’t just for folks in the neighborhood or those experiencing unrest in their homes. “Yes, it’s for everyone – yup – every single per-son.”
On making the deeply powerful PSA, Moore said “it was emotional because it took us about four weeks to do it and I learned a lot about the families and what they’re going through — it’s very heartfelt and emotional.”

Review Managing Ed itor
ith robust regard for new works and burgeoning consideration for clas-sics, Bi Jean Ngo finds herself at an amazing point in determining the depth of her theatrical pursuits. No matter the adjective attached to a play, the 35-year-old loves creating a relationship with an audience and
has won a wonderful opportunity to do so by playing Queen Hermione and Au-tolycus for Shakespeare in Clark Park’s production of “The Winter’s Tale.”
“I adore this play,” the former inhabitant of Broad and Wolf streets said of the late entry in the Bard’s canon. “Add to that the outdoor setting and the presence of
a children’s choir, and the whole experience becomes even more amazing.”The enthused thespian is executing her roles through Sunday at the West Phila-
delphia destination, which is marking its 10th anniversary as a showcase place for the playwright’s treasures. “A tragedy wrapped in a romantic comedy,” ac-cording to promotional material, “The Winter’s Tale” enlists Ngo to portray a royal and a troublemaker, with that combination and the intricacy of the plot leading to further appreciation for her opportunity.
“There are these examples of beauty and redemption that blow me away,” the ex-Lower Moyamensing resident said of the piece, which bears the distinction of being her first full Shakespearean gig, having done a 2013 staged reading of “Henry VI, Part 3,” under South Philly-based peer Brenna Geffers. “I’ve been dy-ing to do the classics, so I’m thrilled to have these meaty and weird roles.”

South Philadelphians Corinna Burns and Sam Sherburne are joining Ngo in the ac-tion, with Newbold’s Aaron Cromie, who directed her in ’13’s “Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them,” handling puppetry duties. Pundits have often dubbed “The Winter’s Tale” a “problem play” because of its mixture of comic elements and psy-chologically dark components, but no difficulties exist for Ngo in tackling her tasks, which blend heartache and happi-ness, despair and delight.
“In this profession, people pretty much have to prepare for the joy of unpredict-ability,” the actress, who noted that such readiness for her has come through nu-merous endeavors, including children’s shows with Arden Theatre Co., said. “I consider this the most confident, fun and relaxed stretch of my life, and to get to do a Shakespeare show when I’m in that frame of mind really makes me feel for-tunate. Who knows what years and years from now will bear, but this is a great time to sample different works and test various skills.”
COMING OF AGE in Northern Virginia following her birth in the District of Co-
lumbia, Ngo felt she would find her fu-ture through film. Having attended the Richmond-based Governor’s School for the Performing Arts summer program, she matriculated at Boston University, with master’s studies at The New School Uni-versity’s Actors Studio Drama School fos-tering belief in an existence on the stage, which she had not initially deemed a le-gitimate career choice.
“There was some initial conflict because that field is not exactly synonymous with my people,” the vibrant Vietnamese indi-vidual gleefully said. “My family, though, based on our background, believed in de-mocracy, and that extended to having free-dom of choice for your career.”
Possessing a passion to tell a good story, Ngo, who characterized life in New York City as “a tad intimidating,” needed to find a location that could keep her focused on not only her skill set but also inspire more awareness of the economic aspects of act-ing.
“The business side is often frightening because this is not a vocation that usually yields automatic prestige,” she said. “You have to be mindful of what you’re getting into and be relentless in acquiring knowl-
edge.”Not wishing to feel tethered and desiring
adventure in her mid-20s, she left the Em-pire State for the City of Brotherly Love about a decade ago, with North Philly bearing her present quarters following her aforementioned stay in Lower Moya-mensing and stints in Hawthorne, Center City and University City, with the final spot placing her right near Clark Park.
“It’s such a lively place to practice the-ater,” Ngo said of Philadelphia, which has bred relationships with the Arden, Interact Theatre Co. and 1812 Productions. “Peo-ple can have a huge fear of failure here, but it’s great to have so much support from people who are just like you because they’re trying to make great art, too.”
Many Philadelphians, especially South Philly denizens, are certainly of her ilk, and Ngo has begun to tout the impressive amount of Asians who are likewise lead-ing the way to theatrical thrills, including locals Justin Jain and Rupal Pujara. As a founding member and creative director of Philadelphia Asian Performing Artists, she is looking to build solidarity and en-hance opportunities for those whom she considers “an extra family.”
“Those steps are going to allow for shared resources and opportunities,” Ngo said of being a pioneer, a status that be-came evident in another sense when she scored a nomination for last year’s F. Otto Haas Emerging Artist Award. “There’s work to be done and work to be had.”
Always eager to interact with “Yes and...” people, she will continue her active navigation of the local theater scene with fall shows for Azuka Theatre and the Wal-nut Street Theatre. An admirer of good yarns, she appears determined to fashion her own account of what can happen when one looks beyond the odds and concen-trates on the benefits of being bold.
“I love this world that I inhabit,” Ngo beamed. “I’m ready and motivated to take on anything that can advance this profes-sion and inspire people to love something again or for the first time.” SPR

on-Catholic friends of ours recently
were having a tough time selling their
house. In the past, our friends had called
upon St. Anthony to expand his powers
as keeper of the lost and found to non-Catho-
lics as well, and their cries for help had been
answered. On frequent occasions, St. Anthony
had helped them to find lost items ranging from
keys to diamond jewelry. Upon finding out St.
Joseph is reputed to have powers that help in
real estate transactions, they asked once again
for non-denominational help. It is my happy
duty to report that upon following a very spe-
cific set of instructions, they sold their house.
I ask you, dear reader, to put aside any com-
plaints that both St. Joseph and St. Anthony
might be spreading themselves too thin in help-
ing non-Catholics as well as Catholics. Let us
instead celebrate the ecumenical spirit in which
these two saints are working and fervently wish
that this same spirit will be spread throughout
the world. The true intention of this column is
to provide you the necessary information if you
need the assistance of St. Joseph in selling your
house.
First, a word about St. Joseph. I have always
felt he was shortchanged. Some folks I know
have always pictured him spending an eternity
at a heavenly VFW post being elbowed by guys
gleefully making comments such as, “Vir-
gin birth, huh!” My best recollections of him
come only on his birthday when I scarf down a
zeppoli or two — also known as “St. Joseph’s
cake.” After all these years, I am happy to find
out that St. Joseph can be helpful in a depressed
housing market.
Interestingly enough, when I googled St. Jo-
seph and his role in real estate transactions, the
first choice is a website run by a outfit called
Lucky Mojo Curio Co. I’m afraid I can’t vouch
for the authenticity of any outfit whose name
is Lucky Mojo, but here’s what I found: The
site refers to St. Joseph as the Patron Saint of
real estate matters and home sales (no mention
of whether he had to pass an exam and get a
license to practice). In addition, the site claims
that St. Joseph can also help people to find em-
ployment (no mention whether they are mini-
mum wage jobs).
It is reputed that St. Joseph saved Sicily from
famine by providing that nation with a big crop
of fava beans. This explains why my Sicilian
grandfather loved fava beans and perhaps why
they are so popular in trendy restaurants in these
days where unemployment is still too high. In
New Orleans, according to the site, the Sicil-
ian practice of wishing on St. Joseph beans was
picked up by African Americans. They claim
that if you place seven of these beans in your
pocket for seven days and then throw them into
running water over your left shoulder, your
wish will come true.
I digress. If it’s a house you’re trying to sell,
you will need a real estate kit that consists of
the following: one dressed and blessed St. Jo-
seph candle, one statuette of St. Joseph, one
bottle of St. Joseph oil, one St. Joseph chromo
print and one St. Joseph holy card. The instruc-
tions add that you will also need an 8-by-10-
inch standard picture frame for the print and
a trowel with which to dig up the backyard.
Note — if your house is like mine, you have
no grass yard, so you’ll need a house plant in
a large pot.
You may already be tired at this point, but lots
of work still lay ahead. Keep your eye focused
on the prize, selling your overpriced house to
some unsuspecting schlub. Rituals vary, but
Lucky Mojo recommends you light the candle
and hang the print of St. Joseph where it can be
seen by those viewing the house. You have to
hide the holy card with your real estate papers.
Spray the oil on four corners of each room, the
window frames, door jams and framed print.
Hold the statue in your hand, and recite the
prayer specified at the Lucky Mojo website.
Hint — you are almost finished. Here’s where
the trowel (and a son with a strong back) comes
in handy. Bury the statue of St. Joseph upside
down (if no yard, hide it in the potted plant).
The statue should be facing east. Cover up the
hole. Once the property sells, you must dig up
the statue, clean it off and place it in a promi-
nent place of honor in your new home. Lucky
Mojo warns that if you fail to do this, trouble
will bite you in the rear end (my expression)
on the sale. And let’s face it, you do not want to
have to go through this entire ritual again (and
neither does St. Joseph).
Oh, by the way, make sure the property you
wish to sell is clean and that you are asking
the market value price. St. Joseph wants you
to know, he’s good at what he does, but he’s
no miracle worker. Lucky Mojo sells all the re-
quired items you need for your real estate kit,
as if you could not guess.
It might be easier just to hire a good real es-

roccoli. Just hearing of this vegetable makes children run and dive under their beds, but Roasted Broccoli happens to be a popular side dish for fami-lies across the country. Roe Lucas, of the 1300 block of East Passyunk Av-
enue, has a recipe that will spice up that next family dinner. With a blend of broccoli, garlic and lemon zest and juice, this offering from the
Passyunk Square inhabitant is sure to be a conversation starter when you and you relatives next congregate and will surely lure those youngsters downstairs!

unday brunch has become my favorite restaurant meal. Daylight affords us the chance to read the menu and actually see the food on the plate. I am always
looking for new places for brunch, and am happy to report I found one.
Fourth & Cross opened last month in Pennsport. Owner Andrew Michaels, who arrived in Philly from New York 22 years ago, gutted the space and turned it into a family-friendly spot. It is a cash-only BYOB.
Fourth & Cross reminds me of the fine fare served up at family diners when I was a girl.
The interior features hardwood floors, white walls, counter seating with red retro stools, tiffany blue comfortable wooden benches and an accommodating staff. Mi-chaels insists on fair trade producers and locally-sourced ingredients. Our server brought mugs of ReAnimator coffee ($2.75) that I never heard of. It is not as strong as La Colombe, but was filled with flavor.
I always know when pancakes are made from scratch. A short stack of blueberry ones ($8) proved to be the finest hot cakes I’ve enjoyed in recent memory. Two large whole wheat cakes were filled with fresh Jersey blueberries mixed with lemon juice and lemon zest. Lemon and blueberry is a classic combination. If there is an award for hot cakes, the ones served up at Fourth & Cross easily wins top honors. A small dish of soft butter and tin pitcher of room tem-perature local maple syrup arrived with my brunch. I cannot tell you how many times cold butter and cold syrup have been served to me. A side order of Lancaster bacon ($4) was most generous. It was nice and crisp, too.
A cheddar cheese omelette ($11) was not a bit overcooked. It was golden and glisten-ing on the outside and a bit creamy inside. Some of the cheddar cheese was placed on top and melted nicely, but I thought a bit more should have been nestled inside. Oven roasted potatoes could have been hotter. It would also be more flavorful if sautéed onions and/or roasted red peppers were in-cluded in the mix.
Certain foods bring back memories of meals gone by. I clearly recall the home-made sausage patties prepared at a small
family-owned finer in Somerset. They were uncommonly delicious. The homemade sausage patties ($5) at Fourth & Cross are not to be missed. They were grilled on the outside and just a tiny bit pink on the inside. They packed a bit of a punch, so if you like spicy sausages for brunch, these patties are for you. When I say “spicy,” I do not mean hot.
Instead of toast, we wanted to sample the homemade whole wheat biscuit. There are a number of schools of thought on the best way to prepare these Southern classics. Some bakers roll out dough and cut rounds with a cookie cutter. Others form the dough like hamburger patties and place them close together in a round pan. A chef friend of mine from the South taught me this method. We used buttermilk, butter and shortening for a light fluffy biscuit.
I did not care for the square whole wheat version served at Fourth & Cross. I found it too dry and crumbly. It should have spent some time in the oven so the softened butter would melt. I did, howver, enjoy the home-made jam that was placed on top of the bis-cuit.
Service was a bit spotty because our server, who was caring and polite, was held captive by another diner who was going on and on about molecular gastronomy, deconstructed dishes and cooking schools. No matter. An-other server got her attention.
Fourth & Cross offers breakfast, brunch and lunch items. The burger and fries that waltzed by me looked so good, I want to try one on my next visit.
I have added this newcomer to my list of favored brunch spots. It is exactly what a neighborhood restaurant should be.
Three-and-a-half tips of the toque to Fourth & Cross.

hen is Whetstone Tavern supposed to open? After months and months of inquiries, the Queen Village eatery officially opened its doors
on July 15. The neighborhood tavern con-cept serves as the sister property to Brau-haus Schmitz, the authentic German eatery located just footsteps away at 718 South St. Chef Jeremy Nolen, who shares owner-ship with Doug Hager, is paying homage to the old taverns he used to visit when he was growing up in Central Pennsylvania. This one has 56 seats, plus an additional 10 at the bar, with another 24 outdoor seats coming soon.
“We’ve been pretty busy every night,” Nolen said of the establishment that opens 5 p.m. daily for dinner.
Rabbit Tetrazzini and Passyunk Pork (recipe included) are a couple of the more popular selections to date. Seekers of something simpler may opt for a dad’s burger, which is available as a single or double. Nolen noted the menu will likely change with the seasons. For those seeking a complete 360 from Brauhaus, Whetstone Tavern, at least in the eyes of the co-own-ers, serves as a great palate-pleasing alter-native.
“It’s a classic, old school American Tav-ern,” Nolen said. “It’s a really comfortable, friendly restaurant.”
Put the water, salt and butter in a medi-um-sized pot. Bring to a boil, add the po-lenta and stir. Reduce the heat to medium, and continue stirring. Stir occasionally, and cook until thickened and the polenta is cooked through, for about 20 minutes.
Turn off the heat, and add the provolone. Stir to combine, cover and keep warm.
Heat a small pot on medium, and add the oil and prosciutto. Cook until lightly browned, and add the water. Simmer for 30 minutes and strain, reserving the liquid.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat a medium-sized skillet, and add the
oil. Season both sides of the pork chops with the salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook until golden brown, and flip over. Cook for another two minutes, re-move from the pan and place on an oven-proof tray and then in the oven. Add more oil if necessary, and add the broccoli rabe to the pan. Cook for three to four minutes, until the broccoli rabe softens. Add the garlic and chili flakes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about two minutes.
Plate the pork chops with the polenta and the broccoli rabe, and drizzle the prosciutto jus on top.

23
aLEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): You are on edge, making it impossible to settle into any kind of
routine. You cannot explain why you feel this way. It’s difficult to remain calm when you have a feeling something is going to happen that you may not like. Cast worries aside, and think positively as your intu-ition may be unreliable. Lucky number: 914.
sVIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Private interests conflict with outside activities. Family affairs are
confusing, and trying to sort some matters out on your own becomes a waste of time and energy. It will be dif-ficult to shake off a feeling you’re letting yourself in for more than you bargained for by agreeing to help care for an elderly relative. Lucky number: 306.
dLIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): You might have trouble putting some bright ideas to
practical use. An envious coworker will try to block you from achieving goals. Getting into a dispute with a colleague after work could have serious repercus-sions. Lucky number: 863.
fSCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Despite your enthusiastic response when someone needs
backing for a new venture, it is unlikely the person will gain enough support to go ahead. Restraint will be necessary to tone down friction arising from mon-ey matters. Someone’s attitude makes it impossible to reach an agreement. Lucky number: 785.
gSAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Travel complications will make you wish you had
stayed home. If you are tied to your own four walls, problems regarding a visitor or defective appliance will make you want to grind your teeth in frustration. Do not flare up if it turns out revisions are necessary. Lucky number: 463.
hCAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Petty arguments within a group will try your pa-
tience. There can only be one captain of a ship, so rather than competing with stubborn people, turn
your attention to personal affairs, or direct energy toward making money while others continue arguing without you. Lucky number: 561.
AAQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): Despite attempts to turn exercise into a habit, the de-
mands of other people will defeat your best efforts. Your intention to make better choices is not coming easily and with little support. Making smaller chang-es will add up to a more successful and healthier you. Lucky number: 054.
SPISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): You have mixed feelings about an unfolding situation.
People want your views, but you would rather hold back from saying anything until you are more cer-tain. You feel some issues will need to be rectified right away, and not everyone is going to like this. Lucky number: 379.
DARIES (March 21 to April 20): The fallout from recent drama is not making life easy. A
work situation is tense, as you do not agree with a se-nior colleague’s decision. Go along with their sugges-tions to avoid rocking the boat, and this compliance will not go unnoticed. Lucky number: 502.
FTAURUS (April 21 to May 20): Breaking from convention could stir up some turbu-
lence in the workplace. A strong desire to help others may get you into trouble. Toeing the line is not your idea of fun, but, occasionally, it is worthwhile, espe-cially if it arouses less hostility. Lucky number: 258.
GGEMINI (May 21 to June 20): You’ve al-ways had high standards for yourself and oth-
ers. A partner feels he or she always fall short of your expectations. It is time to take a more realistic view of that person’s strengths and weaknesses. Make al-lowances for your own and a loved one’s shortcom-ings. Lucky number: 390.
HCANCER (June 21 to July 22): An emo-tional tug of war between family interests and
work responsibilities clouds the start of the week. You had expected some serious discussion, but really hurtful remarks will take you by surprise. An argu-ment will have an impact on your health and self-esteem, so try going with the flow. Lucky number: 678.

Review Managing Ed itor
very acquaintance of Anton Moore knows of his passion for promoting and preserving South Philly as a ha-ven for hope, with his drive leading to
frequent frustration when violence strikes and radiant rapture when accord occurs. The inhabitant of the 2000 block of Snyder Avenue enjoyed ample amounts of the sec-ond element Sunday, as Peace Week, the crown jewel in his Unity in the Commu-nity outreach, commenced with a thrilling softball game at Smith Playground, 2100 S. 24th St.
“This is going to be the best and most effective Peace Week,” the 2011 South Philly Review Difference Maker said of his organization’s fourth annual campaign to quell community pain. “There is such energy behind the movement, and people are ready to stand up and make change.”
For the second-straight year, Moore and his peers congregated at the West Passyunk-based recreational spot for their contest, with copious attention going to discussions about the significance of situating children in healthy settings and offering them unrelenting support. Fresh off her ESPY victory as Best Breakthrough Athlete, Mo’ne Davis, a South Philly prod-uct who rose to stardom last year for her Little League Baseball World Series pitch-ing feats as a Taney Dragon, undoubtedly stands as a stellar example of those bless-ings and unfurled a beautiful first ball fol-lowing heartfelt speeches from community leaders and politicians.
“We have to think about what everything is going to look like for our children,” Jahmall Crandall, overseer of I.AM.SP. and a resident of the 2100 block of Wat-kins Street, said, noting how Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin, through his Make the World Better Foundation and the Urban Roots initiative, will address Smith’s aesthetics in the near future. “The time is now for them and us.”
“We must work together to make things right,” 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla, of Front Street and Snyder Avenue, added. “Anton always does great work and is definitely a role model. Let’s start
to mold not only more people to join him now but others to help to keep progress on our minds.”
“Everyone benefits if children have strong communities,” Helen Gym, a nomi-nee for a City Council at-large seat, said to applause. “Let’s give them our best, so that they can achieve their best.”
THANKS TO THE impressive turnout, the day’s participants hoped to produce peak performances and became members of Team Carr, named for community organiz-er Nakia Carr, and Team Cathy, christened to honor Cathy Fuller, program coordinator at Bethanna, an organization that is look-ing to strengthen local families through various initiatives. With pride in their na-tion and their roles as productive citizens
drawing an assist from teenager Jaymena Ware’s “Star-Spangled Banner” offering, they took to the field hoping to secure brag-ging rights, with your humble journalist re-porting to duty for Team Carr. Regardless of affiliation, Moore cherished cheering for each player, especially the youths who joined Team Cathy. With a lengthy list of successes, including a Coat & School Sup-ply Drive, a Thanksgiving Giveback and the Ultimate Prom Experience, he has cer-tainly received his share of claps and kudos, but Sunday became all about encouraging greatness from his contemporaries.
“I was almost thinking we wouldn’t pull it off this year,” he confessed of the chief event for Unity in the Community, which he launched six years ago and which this week has also featured an Artist 4 Peace
Rally at Wharton Square Park, 2300 Whar-ton St.; a Senior Brunch at Wilson Park, 25th and Jackson streets; and an expunge-ment clinic at Dixon House, 1920 S. 20th St. “People come together, though, when they really realize the importance of the mission and what these kids will take from everything.”
Young, old and in-between enjoyed the action, as the evenly matched squads quickly made apparent that fans of high-scoring affairs would not become chummy with disappointment. Team Cathy opened up a 4-0 lead in the second inning, but the Team Carr crew, including 186th District state Rep. and South Philly product Jordan Harris, no stranger to trying to chip away at deficits, fought back. Moore decided the game would go four frames, with Team Carr, deemed the visiting club, entering the final session trailing 7-6. Tying the ledger, the “guests” looked to go ahead, but with Jess Gould, a ’14 South Philly Review Difference Maker and president of the West Passyunk Neighbors Association, on second base and yours truly on first, they could not edge in front with two outs and yearned to stop the opposition and force extra play.
That was not to be, though, as a leadoff triple in the home half led to the winning run for Team Cathy, setting off a celebra-tion so enriching that even the vanquished had to smile.
“Life is about making sacrifices in order to better ourselves,” Marvin Ware, who helms Tasker Renaissance, said of the spirit behind Peace Week. “We make tough deci-sions, too, so that our loved ones can grow. For most people, it’s easy to have nothing to do with violence. We have to work so that everyone feels like that.”
The former Tasker Homes dweller and present New Jersey resident picked up the win for Team Cathy, but as far as he is con-cerned, everyone who strives for change, including those who will attend Saturday’s culminating Block Party at 20th Street and Snyder Avenue, emerges victorious.
“People often think you have a hidden agenda if you talk about helping people,” Ware said. “This agenda is clear; uphold the peace, and preach tolerance.” SPR
