Transcript of South Philly Review 6-4-2015
Review Staff Writer
hey’re here! The pop-up trend shows no signs of slowing down, and this week marks the open-ing of two open-air beer gardens
significantly below South Street. Yes, last year’s Pennsylvania Horticul-tural Society (PHS) at 1438-46 South St. will reopen in due time, but the organization decided to reach deeper into South Philly with a garden open-ing this week at the corner of Ninth and Wharton streets.
Developer Paul Mirabello bought the parcel in 2014 and was met with great resistance in mid-April when he proposed a mix of apartments and retail. Most of the near and neighbor-ing Passyunk Square residents cried foul about parking, but these PHS gardens make a go at capturing foot traffic in high-volume neighborhoods. And with Pat’s King of Steaks, 1237 E. Passyunk Ave. directly across the street, Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., and Garage Bar, 1231-33 E. Passyunk Ave., a stone’s throw away, the newly-greened parcel might func-
tion more like a parklet than a boozey playground.
“We go through the permitting process, we follow the same laws as anyone else, and we’ve been doing this for years,” PHS communications director Alan Jaffe said. “So it’s got-ten to a point where people invite us to come create a garden. They see what it is that we’ve done with the past pop-up gardens, and we’re very good at creating gardens, that’s our expertise. Creating beautiful spaces is what we do.”
He’s referring to the four previous
summers of successful pop-ups: the first, in ’11, at 20th and Market streetsand in ’12, they moved to 1919 Wal-nut St. But the big numbers came in ’13 with the South Broad Street beer garden across from the Kimmel Cen-ter – nearly 30,000 visitors flocked, and, on peak nights, it housed 500 to 700 leisure-seekers.
Pop-up gardens, especially beer gardens, are quite in vogue now. In addition to the South and Whar-ton street pop-ups from PHS, Co-simo Tricarico and soon-to-be-wife

Review Managing Ed itor
t 7:23 p.m. S a t u r d a y , two 17th District of-
ficers observed a silver-colored Infiniti QX70 on the 1400 block of South 18th Street, Lt. John Stanford said. Checking the license plate through their mobile data terminal, they determined the numbers be-longed to a Nissan and not an Infiniti.
The operator supposedly fled at a high speed through several streets after they asked him to step out of the car and re-portedly struck an unattended parked ve-hicle and a building at Broad and Wharton streets. Pursuing him on foot, officers gave him commands to stop and surrender, with the figure allegedly making a turn toward them on the 1200 block of South Carlisle Street with a gun in his hand. The officers fired their weapons, missing the purported thief, whom they say dropped his gun in front of a house on the same block.
A backup officer discharged his Taser at him, with the individual supposedly ven-turing to Broad and Federal streets, where, after a brief struggle, authorities detained him. Police recovered a .40 caliber Glock containing 20 rounds of ammunition in the piece and had the car towed to the police garage. Internal Affairs is investigating the matter, with the officers placed on ad-ministrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation. On Tuesday, the Police Department released the photo of Andre Evans, of the 1500 block of South Ring-gold Street, for his alleged orchestration of the incident. Authorities have charged him with aggravated and simple assault and firearms violations. He had not posted his $250,000 bail as of press time and awaits a June 16 preliminary hearing.
Police are hoping surveillance assistance can nab an automobile thief.
Video caught the at-large criminal check-ing vehicles for unlocked doors on the 1900 block of Annin Street 5:20 p.m. May
25. He removed items from one ride before driv-ing off in another mode of transpor-tation along the same Point Breeze block.

A woman sought in conjunction with a Pennsport robbery turned herself in last week.
As first reported in the May 28 South Philly Review as “A layered incident,” two figures entered CosmoProf, 1100 S. Columbus Blvd., at 11:45 a.m. May 19 and selected flat iron curlers from a shelf. Attempting to leave the location without paying, they encountered a woman, who, upon trying to stop them, suffered a blast from a pepper spray-producing device. Af-ter allegedly incapacitating the uninjured complainant, they fled in a white model Ford SUV that witnesses last saw heading west on Washington Avenue toward Front Street.
Concetta Ethridge-Foster, of the 1500 block of South Dover Street, turned herself in to authorities, who charged the 27-year-old with criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, robbery and retail theft. Her supposed ac-complice, a 25 to 30-year-old black wom-an known as “Cannon,” standing 5-foot-5, weighing 230 pounds and wearing black capri pants and a black shirt at the time of the incident, remains at-large.

Police are looking for a man who com-mitted commercial burglaries in Newbold and Marconi.
In the first matter, the individual used a basement window to gain entry to Cricket Cell Phone Store, 1422 Snyder Ave., at 11:45 p.m. May 12. He began rummaging for cash and merchandise, but after failing to find either, he fled in an unknown direc-tion. Authorities are after him for a 12:50 a.m. incident the next day in which he climbed up the outside wall then through a second-floor window to enter Flying Fish Seafood, 2652 S. Ninth St. He forced open the cash register and took an undetermined

The U.S. Department of Justice charged two locals by indictment in a scheme that involved armed robberies of pizza deliv-ery drivers last year.
On May 14, the government entity re-leased its report on 20-year-old Titus Kellam and 24-year-old Kimberly Mon-fort, charging the former with six robbery counts from incidents occurring between Nov. 26 and Dec. 21 and the latter with one count.
The indictment contends that the two, with 19146 zip codes, robbed a driver from Key Pizza, 1846 S. 12th St., of cash, food and a cell phone by means of actual and threatened violence. Authorities al-lege that Kellam also robbed delivery per-sonnel from Wolf Street Pizza, 2135 Wolf St.; City Pizza, 100 Snyder Ave.; Uncle Oogie’s Pizzeria, 2119 W. Oregon Ave.; Not Just Pizza, 2240 S. 11th St.; and Isa-bella Pizza, 1824 E. Passyunk Ave. Kel-lum faces a maximum possible statutory sentence of life in prison, with a statu-tory mandatory minimum sentence of 32 years. Monfort is looking at a maximum statutory sentence of 20 years in jail.
Law enforcement officials are searching for three males responsible for scooter thefts in the 1st, 3rd and 17th districts.
The crimes have been occurring since April 1, with police noting the most recent swipes happened May 25. Surveillance footage depicts three white or Hispanic men operating a white Ford Econoline van with ladder racks on the roof and a stolen Pennsylvania license plate, HDV-9933, which authorities have determined belongs to a Honda, affixed to it. Based on investigations, they have concluded the criminals, who may be from New Jersey or South Philly, drove vans and pick-up trucks from the Garden State to load and transport scooters for sale in Camden.
Officials added all the offenses transpired be-tween 1 and 4 a.m., with 17 to-tal rides stolen. Two came from 17th and Locust streets, but all the others belong to South Philly inhabitants, with residents on the 2400 block of South Sar-tain Street; the 2400 block of South Alder Street; the 300 block of Tasker Street; the 1800 block of South Bancroft Street; the 800 block of South Sixth Street; the 2500 block of Kimball Street, the 1800 block of South Juniper Street; the 1000 block of South 25th Street; the 1700 block of South 13th Street; the 800 block of South Fourth Street; the 300 block of Queen Street; the 1200 block of South Philip Street; the 1800 block of South Newkirk Street; the 400 block of Wolf Street; and Jackson and South Carlisle streets as complainants.

A Point Breeze man suffered a gunshot wound while sitting in a friend’s car.
Authorities found ballistics evidence on the 2000 block of Dickinson Street short-ly after 9:30 p.m. May 21 in response to a report of gunshots in the area of South Woodstock and Dickinson streets, Detec-tive Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Witnesses told the police someone fired a gun at an occupied ve-hicle on the block, leading them to check area hospitals for information.
Methodist Hospital personnel told them a gunshot victim had exited a maroon-colored automobile, flagged down a medic unit and let workers know he had suffered a gun shot wound. He received transportation to Thomas Jefferson Uni-versity Hospital, where he received treat-ment for a blast to the right shoulder. He told authorities he had been sitting inside his mode of transportation with a friend when a stranger began shooting at the car from the other side of the street. The com-panion, on whom further information is unavailable, drove him to Methodist be-fore leaving the area.

Review Ed itor
elevision has a way of painting a vivid picture of before-we-were-born time periods in which medical technology and techniques create an eye-opening
“did they really do things that way” reac-tion. The drama being referred to in this case is “The Knick,” which airs on Cin-emax. The scene is New York City circa 1900 at the fictional Knickerbocker Hos-pital. On each episode, groundbreaking surgeons, nurses and staff push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics.
But what does that have to do with cur-rent times in South Philadelphia, you ask? Well, the origins of Jefferson University’s Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St., ac-tually date back to 1892 — more on that later. It’s safe to say more than a century later that Methodist continues to monitor the heartbeat of its patients.
Saturday, the giving-back-to-the-com-munity efforts will extend out to the sidewalks in front of Methodist’s South Broad Street entrance, as the 27th Annual Health Expo is taking place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“We are not just in the community, we need to be a part of the community,” James A. Robinson, Methodist’s senior vice president and chief administrative of-ficer, said.
It includes helping diabetics manage their disease, which is one of several services that will be available Saturday morning.
For those with questions or concerns about his or her health, this is one of those golden opportunities for one-stop free screenings. Cholesterol and glucose (fasting recommended), colorectal cancer, blood pressure and stroke, osteoporosis, as well as mammograms for uninsured and under-insured women, sponsored by the Linda Creed Foundation, are a small sampling of the programs available. Reg-istration is only required for the mammo-grams (call 215-952-6169). There will be free health information and consultations, as well. Enroll America will be there to as-sist individuals looking/needing to enroll in health insurance.
There will also be some fun-for-the-whole-family activities, including special appearances by Captain America and Elsa. Picnic food, face painting and a balloon twister also will be at the site.
“We use it as a forum to educate our population,” Robinson said.
Besides letting residents know what ser-
vices are being provided, they also made aware that Methodist is part of the much larger Jefferson system.
THE FOUNDATION FOR this community hos-pital was set in the 1800s by Dr. Scott Stewart, a dedicated physician caring for people living in South Philadelphia. In drawing up his will in 1877, he designated $250,000 from his estate to be used to build a hospital in the city for local resi-dents. One of the stipulations was that a training school for nurses be set up to make certain that the institution would al-ways have an adequate nursing staff. The groundbreaking was held in ’88, and four years later, the building, then known as Methodist Episcopal Hospital, began its legacy of service to the community.
When the receiving ward opened in ’99, just like “The Knick,” emergency patients arrived by horse-drawn ambulances. Yes, there have been rough times along the way, like during The Great Depression when
one of out three South Philadelphians was out of work, and the hospital was short on staff, supplies and services. By the mid-1900s, M.E.H. launched a $1-million building fund campaign, and a new library and lounge for interns and resident physi-cians followed. The affiliation with Jeffer-son Medical College started in ’50 with an agreement to make its ward facilities and staff available for clinical teaching while Jefferson provided additional house staff M.E.H. The current Methodist Hospital name became a fixture 11 years later.
While it has withstood the test of time, others like St. Agnes Medical Center, 1930 S. Broad St, and Graduate Hospital, 1800 Lombard St., failed to survive. When the former closed in 2004, Methodist ad-dressed the increased patient demand by increasing its bed capacity to 204, includ-ing a 12-bed medical intensive care unit and an expanded emergency department.
“I think a good part of that reason is our affiliation with Jefferson,” Robinson said of Methodist being South Philadelphia lone’s hospital to remain intact. “If you didn’t have a partner, it was going to be difficult to survive.
Today, Methodist is home to the Shoul-der and Elbow Center, the team physi-cians for the Philadelphia Eagles and the experts of The Philadelphia Hand Center. Other times, patients arrive at Methodist for triage, and can be transferred to the Center City location if needed.
“I think Jefferson has made a huge com-mitment to South Philadelphia, solidify-ing Jefferson’s identity with South Phila-delphia,” Robinson said.
Come Saturday, that image of commu-nity caring will be in the spotlight, as the 15 tents will present a welcoming, here-to-help picture for residents, with 200 to 300 attendees expected. Besides those previously mentioned, cardiac rehab, Jeff Fit outpatient rehab, Jefferson Sleep Disorders Center, The Philadelphia Hand Center, the Arthritis Association and dexa heel scans are some of the other depart-ments that will be spread across 29 differ-ent tables.
Why not make it a point to check in for a check-up?

Heather are planning for a mid-August open of the Pennsport Beer Boutique at 242 Wharton, a dine-in and takeout bottle shop BYO (food) space with a mix of in-door and outdoor seating, eight drafts and a rumored bocce court.
Last year’s South Street locale was nestled alongside the Jamaican Jerk Hut, 1436 South St., which thrilled owner Lisa Wilson. The South Street West Busi-ness Association was on board, as was the South of South Neighborhood Asso-ciation. No surprise, this summer’s Ninth and Wharton space was welcomed with open arms by the Passyunk Square Civic Association.
“They reached out way back in Febru-ary,” president Pam Zenzola, a resident of the 1300 block of Federal Street, recalled. “Everyone knows PHS does a quality job and it’s not going to be someone just put-ting some tables out so the enthusiasm was there.”
There were two empty lots in mind, so many neighbors were mainly just asking her where and when. She said PHS “told us is wasn’t a matter of if it’s going to happen, it’s just really when and where.”
Last week she walked past to check it out and ran into a handful of neighbors already relaxing in the soft-opened green space, shouting ‘Come on in!’
“It was an empty lot for almost 30 years versus pretty orange umbrellas and lights and people — we’re just thrilled that one more thing has come to our neighbor-hood,” Zenzola said.
Were there cries of protest? Sure. Ze-nzola even wondered how the logistics would pan out. Neighbors at well-attend-ed general meetings asked “Will they pick up trash? Where are people going to go to the bathroom? How are people going to
control the people leaving with drinks in their hands?” But like with most things, it’s the fear of the unknown that unreason-ably spiked concerns.
“As soon as the fence went up and a gate and an entrance appeared where you’d be carded and where you’d be stopped on your way out,” Zenzola said, “the ques-tions subsided.”
A DIFFERENT KIND of pop-up is anchor-ing in Point Breeze this summer, and it’s by no means a pop-up associated with PHS. This one’s a bit more of a gamble and has different goals. John Longacre, owner of LPMG Properties, has a stake in South Philly that goes beyond his wildly successful pubs South Philadelphia Tap Room, 1509 Mifflin St., and American Sardine Bar, 1800 Federal St.
Longacre opened a pop-up on the 1600 block of Point Breeze Avenue between Tasker and Morris streets with the 10th
anniversary of a Wheat Beer Festival last month. There were a handful of protestors who believed this pop-up would bring “punk rockers” and “Newbolders,” unde-sirables.
“They tried to make it a bigger issue than it is,” Longacre said. “The neighbors that live on top of the site all love it. I find that there’s a bunch of great people who’ve been there a long time who want to see positive change — sometimes it’s easy to get jaded because all you’re hearing are these protestors, but the people that sup-port it are all good, rational people that want to see positive change.”
He said they picked up Magnum .357 shells, condoms and syringes. Now they’re a temporary home to a Communi-ty Supported Agricultural program, yoga on Thursdays, a farmstand and a flea mar-ket. He and his team had to pool his liquor licenses to acquire an off-site catering li-cense. This pop-up’s partnering with the
local Registered Civic Organization that “operates on a shoestring budget to cre-ate a funding source for them to carry out their mission and help spur development,” Longacre said.
They’re open Thursday through Sunday, opening at 4 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on weekends, and closing down at 10 p.m. on Thursday and Sunday and at 11 p.m. on weekend nights.
“Neighborhoods want this,” Longacre said. “It’s just that there’s a lot of tension between newcomers and existing resi-dents — the beer is a backdrop. It’s not a frat party. It’s a gathering space, a place to get something to eat and to talk to your neighbors. That’s the part that gets lots in translation.”
Zenzola’s hopeful that some of the less-busy businesses near the Wharton Street pop-up get a little bit of the action, too, like El Zarape, 1304 S. Ninth St., Global Crepes & Local Shakes, 1309 S. Ninth St., South Philly Bar and Grille, 1235 E. Passyunk Ave., or Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar, 1200 E. Passyunk Ave.
“The littler shops could use a little boost,” she said and noted that even though the parklet will have food and drink catered by the folks who run Catina Los Cabolitos, 1651 E. Passyunk Ave., and the newly-opened Triangle Tavern, 1338 S. 10th St., “you’re not going to get a big dinner there.”
“Every time we’ve done one of these gardens, there’s [been] apprehension about what’s not known, but every single time the neighborhood has absolutely loved them and the neighbors become regular attendees,” Jaffe said. “Whether it’s coming in the afternoon for a drink to relax with neighbors or friends and family [or making a night of it], by the time we’re wrapping up in October, people are ask-ing us if we can please stay.”

Review Managing Ed itor
ell aware that numerous factors, including heri-tage, hamper people in appreciating their self-worth, Taysha Canales considers helping others to cast off confining circumstances a compelling
component of her acting career. The 26-year-old is con-tributing that stance to the cast of “The Jungle Book,” infusing the world premiere play, based on the beloved book by Rudyard Kipling, with her emphasis on inclu-sivity and intensity.
“It provides such an adrenaline rush portraying these characters,” the resident of the 1000 block of Ellsworth Street said after a recent show at The Arden Theatre Co., which is staging the work, with direction from Queen Village dweller Matt Decker, through June 21. “It’s a really transformative project, and I love that I have the opportunity to help viewers to explore their imagination and to understand their reality, too.”
The Passyunk Square presence finds herself handling her second-consecutive world premiere, having played Rachel in Point Breeze-situated playwright Douglas Williams’ winter offering “Moon Cave.” Her third as-signment for the Old City entity enlists Canales in three
roles, including Mother Wolf, the adopter of the man-cub Mowgli. Reveling in the physicality of her participa-tion, with turns as the Monkey, her hardest endeavor, and the rock snake Kaa completing her trio, she also enjoys the script’s poignant plea for audiences to smile on their similarities and disregard their differences.

“It’s so easy for people to think they mer-it less respect than others because of what they lack and tempting for other folks to think too much of themselves because of what they have,” Canales opined. “I want people to see themselves through me, meaning I want for them to know their ex-periences and aspirations matter.”
The considerate crusader provided those thoughts before visiting a nearby school through the Arden for All initiative, which unites at-risk youths with performers to craft “new access points and tools to en-hance students’ education, encourage read-ing and boost school attendance.” Canales calls on that brainchild as well as her open-ness to promoting tireless adoration for personal growth to deem this a particularly powerful point in her life, especially as that individual enhancement pertains to her sta-tus as a Hispanic theater professional.
“I think we’re underrepresented, for sure,” she noted of her ilk’s involvement in the local scene. “When I came to Philadel-phia, I wanted to bring my experiences to this theatrical community, and I’m proud and ecstatic that I’ve been able to gain a better sense of what’s possible not only as a performer but as a Latina, too.”
Having evolved from a give-me-what-ever-you-have individual to a full-fledged
seeker of parts that will intensify her craft and offer society lessons, Canales deems “The Jungle Book” a perfect production for helping patrons to untangle the complexi-ties of their lives and to encourage deeper analysis of the human condition, with ani-mals as their instructive vehicles.
“It centers on responsibilities to self and others for the overall progress of as many as possible,” she said. “I fell for theater in part because I saw it as a great way to ad-dress who we are as people. The more I take on, the more I realize we have more in common than many people want to ac-knowledge.”
A NATIVE OF the Bronx, Canales coveted a challenge upon her high school graduation, choosing Arcadia University as her colle-giate destination. Having fallen for acting as a New York-based high school fresh-man, the curious practitioner, who initially honed cinematic convictions, chose theater as her vocation, believing the stage realm would foster her evolution as an artist.
“I just said ‘I’m going for it,’” she recalled of deciding to matriculate at the Glenside-situated institution, through which she garnered a Kennedy Center American Col-lege Theatre Festival for Region II Certifi-cate of Merit for Excellence in Ensemble
Acting for her portrayal of Woman Two in “Home.” “I wasn’t initially sure about coming to Philadelphia after, but I loved the theater companies here and made that decision. Four years later, I’m very happy with the results and pretty excited about what might be coming.”
Eager to channel her identity as a New Yorker and a Puerto Rican, Canales con-ducts herself as a passionate pursuer of innovation and an unwavering proponent of imagination. Those classifications have bred admirable introspection, with Canales courting considerably powerful pieces to match her vibrant personality.
“I want to have comprehension of what sort of story a given work is telling,” she said of diligently discerning a project’s aims. “That means so much to me because it’s great to do a job and receive money for it, but it’s way better to convey something provocative.”
Through that approach, Canales has come to count such entities as Azuka The-atre, Flashpoint Theatre Co., the National Constitution Center, the Philadelphia Art-ists’ Collective, Philadelphia Young Play-wrights, Plays & Players and Simpatico Theatre Project as believers in her bounty of gifts. With ardent regard for the Arden, the appreciative hire stresses that its meet-
and-greet post-show sessions truly help her to give more acute attention to what in-spires onlookers. Yearning for involvement in a work that reveals the depth of her drive, Canales confessed that to find such a dy-namic composition that “really calls out to my soul,” she might have to pen it herself, which she is in the process of doing.
“I feel it would be just the type of work to force me, in the best way possible, to reflect on who I am,” she said, adding she wants to craft it especially for her grand-mother’s enjoyment.
With more than two weeks until “The Jungle Book” closes, Canales, who has determined never to become boxed into a certain sort of role, loves that the year has witnessed her eclipsing any hint of appre-hension through “Moon Cave” and climb-ing toward even loftier goals through “The Jungle Book.”
“It’s great to have a sense of control over how this might all turn out,” she said. “As I go forward, these experiences are going to stand out.”

ost people think Atlantic City’s glory days began and ended with the rise and fall of the casinos. Most people are not old enough to remember
what her glory days really looked like.In the 1950s, Atlantic City did not need
gambling. We tend to forget that places that need gambling are pretty much desperate places in need of rescue. What was Las Vegas but a desert before gambling? (In-cidentally, gambling predated the entrance of mobster Bugsy Siegel contrary to some popular belief). Six decades ago, Atlantic City would have laughed at the need for casinos. The lady would have thought gam-bling was beneath her.
Back then, one could walk the boardwalk at night without seeing the down-on-their luck losers that too frequently populate in-side and outside the remaining casinos to-day. The boardwalk at night was glorious, an exciting bauble on the East Coast that sparkled like a rare jewel.
A young boy’s eyes were dazzled by the bright lights — the Sherwin-Williams sign where their paint covered the globe — the simulated horse race — I always picked the green one to win, and sometimes I was right. The huge Camels sign that hung above the boardwalk where the figure blew smoke rings to the strollers down below. Seeing the Atlantic City boardwalk at night was like the first time you saw Times Square lit up in the evening.
Imagine a resort where in addition to fam-ilies, there were men wearing linen jackets and silk ties while the ladies decked out in long dresses. They sat like aristocrats in strolling chairs along the boardwalk, im-periously peering out at the rest of us who were not so elegant, except in our dreams.
The Steel Pier had the lovely lady on the diving horse, and there were grand seafood restaurants like Captain Starn’s where folks stood in line to enter. The stately Warner Theater not only showed films, but was a showplace for jazz festivals each summer when jazz was cool and “hep” became “hip.” The penny arcades actually cost a penny, and Skee-ball was king. You could peer in a viewer and for a penny, see silent film stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Bust-er Keaton come to life in flickering black and white images. As a boy, I remember a
giant automated soda arcade where for a nickel, one could choose among countless flavors of soda. All of this, a glorious beach and the Atlantic Ocean, too.
Folks actually came to Atlantic City for the beach. The tang of saltwater mixed with the smell of Gaby suntan oil. You should have been there back then before the beach became just another sad accoutrement to the garish casinos on the boards. There was actually a special family feeling to Atlantic City back then, not just phony ads promoted by the casinos. It was a big deal to be sitting on the beach, not only with your mother and father, but your uncles and aunts. And sometimes families would bring hoagies to the beach or you were allowed to buy an ice pop that would melt and make your fingers sticky before you could eat it. But the really big difference between that Atlantic City and the gaudy casino days was the vibrancy all over town, not just on the boardwalk.
Before the casinos sucked the oxygen out of the surrounding town, A.C. was not just slums and discount shopping. There were wonderful restaurants like Dock’s and Abe’s for seafood and Lew Tendler’s for steak and the original Knife and Fork with its deep dish blueberry pie. At Skinny D’Amato’s 500 Club, if you were lucky or knew the right people, you could see Frank Sinatra up close and watch women fight over the cigarette butt he threw from the small stage while singing “Learnin’ the Blues.” There was the Black Orchid with Buddy Greco and Lenny Bruce or the breakfast show at The Club Harlem where one could see Sar-ah Vaughn sitting and watching Sam Cooke or Nappy White perform. And the tanned beauties dancing on stage brought a tingle even to a young boy’s loins. At the Cotton Club, Miles Davis played “Stella by Star-light” with his back turned to the audience.
One could tell the ethnic group to which you belonged or your social status based on where you stayed. Our Atlantic City was the Italian area around Florida and Bellevue Terrace where folks like mine crammed into rooming houses just to be at the Shore. My Jewish friends stayed in the Chelsea section where the lox and bagels and corned beef on rye rivaled the delis in New York.
Atlantic City died and “everything that dies someday comes back,” as Bruce Springsteen sang. Atlantic City returned with the rise of the casino-hotels, but the el-egance and grace was gone. As the casinos are one by one abandoned to their fate and the city struggles to become relevant again, one hopes and wishes the faded lady well.
Sometimes the boy-now-aging man dreams, and he can still smell Gaby sun-tan oil mixed with the salt air of the ocean when Atlantic City was a regal queen and we were her subjects.

ost great creations are born when one thinks outside of the box. Kimberly Moore’s out-of-the- box moment came when she heated up this traditionally served cold side dish. The resident of the 2100 block of Shunk Street kept things sample and inex-
pensive while adding that extra kick of favor to flare things up. The hint of garlic catches your attention while the popular favor enchantment of warm bacon brings you in for the mixture of excitement in this cookout classic. Maybe the Girard Estate inhabitant’s idea will be featured at your next family barbecue. After trying it, you may not want to limit it to just there.

unning an eatery requires many gifts, with Liza Bello blessed to be-long to a family with respected roles as proprietors. The 33-year-old is
continuing to call on lessons learned from her relatives as the owner of Mercer Cafe, 4920 S. 15th St.
“My parents instilled a great work ethic in me,” the Roxborough resident said from The Philadelphia Navy Yard-situated loca-tion of Tom and Dina Woltjen. “They set an example and worked hard to build a clientele, which is just what I want to do here.”
Her begetters have garnered acclaim for helming Tacconelli’s Pizzeria in Port Richmond, which is where one can also find the original Mercer Cafe. With the clan coveting a second location, the pa-triarch, who started as a Navy Yard sheet metal mechanic in 1980, and his daughter initiated a 2012 search, with Bello deem-ing the site of the month-old breakfast and lunch haven “just right.”
“It’s a family-oriented spot,” she said of the converted bank, adding “warm” and “homey” as telling adjectives. “I feel re-ally lucky because the response has been amazing, even overwhelming.”
Chef Tim Amoroso likewise considers himself fortunate. The 30-year-old, al-ready expecting a fantastic year because of the impending September birth of his first child, secured his position in April, fulfilling his goal to help to open an es-tablishment.
“The Navy Yard is expanding, and I’m loving that we’re a part of the growth,” the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College alumnus and resident of the 2200 block of
South Chadwick Street said of the urban campus.
Like his boss, the Newbold inhabitant enjoys the calming atmosphere within Mercer Cafe and gleefully shared the reci-pe for its Mascarpone French Toast. Bello noted not many people have awareness of Mercer’s breakfast offerings, but with one glimpse of this creation, the lines should grow considerably longer and stomachs remarkably fuller.
“It has awesome flavor to it,” Amoroso said. “It’s Mercer’s signature dish, so it’s definitely something we’re proud of.”
Whisk the eggs, cream, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium bowl. Coat the bread slices with the mixture, and place them in a skillet, browning them evenly. Add the berries and the syrup to a sauté pan, and cook on medium-low heat. Place the mascarpone atop the slices, and apply the berry sauce and powdered sugar.

GGEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Wait a day or two before contacting loved ones about a
relationship matter as this is not the answer to your problems. Believing the lies of a third party high-lights the lack of faith you have in your partnership. You need to get things into better perspective. Lucky number: 073.
HCANCER (June 21 to July 22): Ignore a friend or colleague who loves to lecture on
what is and is not good for you. Equally trying to bend the truth to fit personal theories will backfire. Find information to support ideas before presenting them as being factual. Lucky number: 367.
aLEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): You need to factor unexpected costs into your budget. If looking
for financial backing, approach a relative who has helped you out in the past. It may not be possible to obtain everything you are hoping for. Promise to pay a friend back as quickly as possible. Lucky number: 706.
sVIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Your family is not objecting to your ideas for the sake of it.
They have valid reasons for asking you to wait before putting some plans in action, so be open to their sug-gestions. The less sensitive you are to other people’s comments, the more progress you will make. Lucky number: 254.
dLIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): An envious colleague will be responsible for causing con-
fusion and misunderstandings. Refuse to fall for their tricks, and if anyone challenges you, do not take the bait as you will just end up feeling ridiculed. Lucky number: 039.
fSCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Trying new ideas is fun and may lead to great achieve-
ments, but not all of the time. Unless you are willing
to keep your aims within modest limits, this is not the best time for a trip or entertaining a visitor. Lucky number: 879.
gSAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): One way to adjust to the changes now taking place
is to organize new routines. Additional expenses you had not planned for will become unsettling. Before paying bills, check they are valid, and avoid anything of a risky or deceitful nature. Lucky number: 981.
hCAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Oppor-tunities relating to travel are looking especial-
ly good. Discuss plans you are making for a journey with a well-travelled friend. Open your heart to new possibilities, as sometimes you have to take a risk to realize your dreams. Lucky number: 695.
AAQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): A rela-tionship or commitment is making you feel
restricted. You need more space, and since people can not read your thoughts it is time to make your feelings clear. Ask others to back off a little. Lucky number: 416.
SPISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Once you have a chance to digest things, you will real-
ize there are flaws in what you are being told. Infor-mation people pass on may sound factual but a lot of it will be based on nothing but rumor. A situation has been interpreted incorrectly. Refuse to participate in office gossip. Lucky number: 638.
DARIES (March 21 to April 20): If you are feeling under the weather, take the day off.
If you have no choice but to go into work, at least choose jobs that do not call for any great bursts of energy. Tension in a close relationship is taking its toll on your health. Lucky number: 582.
FTAURUS (April 21 to May 20): You won-der why you got involved in a joint project
when a partner is not making any effort at all. You had expected they would do their fair share. You can pull out, especially if this person continues to take advantage of your generosity. Take it higher if you are not happy with a work-related situation. Lucky number: 908.

Review Managing Ed itor
atasha Wirth thrives on pressure and the engagement and investment of others to achieve professional and recreational success. She has spent
two years strengthening her wage earner status as a Mazzoni Center medical case manager and is intensifying her sporting identity as a member of the Philly Roller Derby outfit The Block Party, with the Dickinson Square West resident and her peers having faced a New Jersey-based unit at The Class of 1923 Arena Saturday.
“There’s something so enriching about being around women who feel so em-powered and want others to feel the same way,” the 25-year-old said at the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania-operated facility. “I love seeing how our personalities mesh, too, because we come from so many dif-ferent walks in life and have had so many diverse experiences.”
Wirth has officially revelled in their ca-maraderie since March, having completed the Fresh Meat training program for Philly Roller Derby, a constituent of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, in the fall. Formerly a Penn Jersey Derby presence, she coveted company with a higher commitment to social interaction, with her current corps and other crews devoted to developing relationships with fellow nonprofit organizations. Coupling concern for others and consideration for mutual growth, the Block Party of-fers a perfect outlet for Wirth, especially through her role as a jammer.
“I like the attention,” she said, laughing, in explaining her scoring duties. “It offers a different perspective from the role of a blocker and challenges me to push myself and help this intense, aggressive group of ladies to emerge victorious.”
The PRD website notes that those focused females essentially comprise a pick-up team, as they are a “motley crew of skaters” who primarily represent the league through regional matchups, where-as the Liberty Belles and Independence Dolls handle national and international duties. Regardless of classification, the
participants, who are helping the PRD to celebrate its 10th anniversary, approach each bout as a chance to grow healthier in mind and body, with Wirth and her co-horts counting on their mental and physi-cal prowess to down the Garden State Rollergirls.
The visitors vaulted to a 24-0 lead after the first jam yet did not diminish the crowd’s enthusiasm. Wirth saw her initial action during the sixth jam and earned a four-point pass in the 13th to decrease the deficit to 69-59. The Rollergirls, though, yielded only nine more points in the final six jams, entering halftime with a 132-68 cushion. The local contributor aided five second-period jams, includ-ing the evening’s final interval, with the guests gaining a 258-109 victory.
“There were some nerves,” Wirth said of the setback, which she countered Sunday by helping the Philly CheeseSkates, consist-ing of other recent Fresh Meat graduates, to a romp over NOVA Roller Derby. “I feel
really good about the night, though. There wi l l be plenty of other bouts to obtain better results.”
NO MATTER THE setting or the circumstances,
Wirth has always felt a pull toward influenc-
ing enhanced outcomes. The Lehigh Valley native learned the value of alle-giance to others through her family and engaged in community organizing
through her high school ten-ure. Originally enrolling as an
international studies major at Arca-dia University, she switched to sociol-
ogy, with the Glenside-based institution granting an opportunity for her to travel to Argentina, where she assisted at-risk teenage mothers and came to appreciate the sense of faith among those who “be-lieve in a higher power of some kind.”
“I’ve noticed, too, that many of our cli-ents at Mazzoni often rely on faith to see them through their situations,” Wirth said of her employment with the Center City-based LGBT-oriented health organiza-tion, which could relocate to 1328-1338 Bainbridge St. by 2017. “At whatever point they’ve reached, I’m there to be a
committed team member to help them to progress.”
That mentality has benefited the altru-istic presence as an athlete, too. Soccer offered the most succor in her youth, as she engrossed herself in it until begin-ning her college career. Upon her post-secondary education graduation, Wirth, with input from a friend, decided she wanted to pursue roller derby.
“I love the intensity and the contact,” the gregarious figure, who competes as Mar’ge Equality, said of the vastly pop-ular indoor endeavor. “There’s such a
great support system inherent within this league, too, which really makes me feel proud to experience and strengthen.”
An example of PRD’s humanitarian nature came this spring, with partici-pants supporting United Cerebral Palsy of Philadelphia by volunteering at the 35th annual “Life Without Limits” 5K Run. Wirth has likewise commenced her identity as an advocate for the league and greatly anticipates encountering more similarly vibrant and vigilant voices.
“We stress the wonderful results that can come from being cohesive and inno-vative,” she said upon giving a nod to her teammates. “Being engaged on and off the track is so important to me because that’s what makes solutions easier to find and implement.”
Incredibly excited for June 19-21’s East Coast Derby Extravaganza in Feast-erville, she looks forward to making lit-eral pushes and figurative breakthroughs as the season unfolds, with the physical and mental demands sure to succumb to her fortitude.
“When I decided to do derby, it all seemed so magical,” Wirth recalled. “I defini te ly want that feel ing to last.” SPR

NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRITHoly Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all mate-rial illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted. The prayer must be published immediately. M.D.
