A Way of lifeA large contingent from

Furness rallied together atlast weekend’s donor dash to commemorate the memory of

a former student.

By Erica J. MinutellaReview Intern

Fresh from the motivation from last Thursday’s pep rally that took place last Thursday in their school audito-

rium, more than 300 Furness High School students fi led out of school buses before 10 a.m. Sunday near the Philadelphia Mu-seum of Art.

It more than quadrupled 2009’s 60 par-ticipants from the school at 1900 S. Third St. A big reason behind the large surge of Furness students involved in the 15th annual Dash for Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness was to commemorate Alvin

“I’m sad. I cried,” Stella Maris seventh-grader Jason Burris, of Sixth and Johnston streets, said

following last Thursday’s dismissal. Burris, 13, and his classmates were

slated to graduate from Stella Maris next year. Instead, that fi nal year has come

early as they scurry to fi nd a new school. “I don’t know yet,” classmate Wence

Vargas, 13, of Eighth and Bigler streets, said of which school he will attend.

“I’m really sad,” he added. “It really af-fected me. It really shocked me. I’m go-ing to miss the teachers.”

While Vargas was one of the 69 regis-trants at the school who was scheduled to receive a refund since the announcement,

some did not even bother to sign up, in-cluding seventh-grader Gary Carlile, 12, of Ninth and Johnston streets, whose mother registered him at Holy Spirit prior to the offi cial closing of Stella Maris.

A mother of a third grader, who chose not to give her name, picked Holy Spirit, 1845 Hartranft St., for her daughter too.

See STELLA MARIS page 12

What’s Happening, page 22

Stella Maris parents must fi nd a new school for their children andwill have the opportunity to sign up for two designated schools Tuesday.

Parting waysThree Stella Maris students made the trek home from school Monday afternoon. This will be their final year there as the Archdiocese of Philadelphia officially announced its closure April 9 due to low enrollment.

To the Editor: Recently, Philadelphia Mayor Mi-

chael Nutter proposed a 2-cent-per-ounce tax on sugary drinks and so-das. In a time of budget shortfalls, the mayor thinks the tax will help raise revenue, as much as $77 million, ac-cording to city offi cials. Called the Healthy Philadelphia Initiative, the tax might be a good way to raise money, and other cities have already done it.

But there is another reason to con-sider such an initiative: It could im-prove public health by lowering the consumption of soft drinks. Sugar-sweetened beverages offer little or no nutritional value. They are relatively inexpensive compared to healthier al-ternatives like fruits and vegetables. This is particularly appealing to chil-dren, but fi lled with added amounts of table sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and concentrated fruit juice, sweet-ened beverages are linked to obesity, diabetes and heart disease, as studies have shown.

Drinking a 12-ounce can of soda every day for a year adds up to 55,000 extra calories, or 15 pounds a year. A child who drinks one soda and two glasses of Kool-Aid every day is con-suming 142,000 extra calories a year. That’s 40 pounds.

According to the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention, obesity among children has more than tripled over the past 30 years, currently af-fecting 19.6 percent of children ages 6 to 11, and 18.1 percent of children ages 12 to 19. In Philadelphia, half of the children are either overweight or obese, with soft-drink consumption rising and milk consumption falling. So, all of us should be concerned. A tax on sugar-sweetened beverages is a fi rst step towards halting this growing epidemic.

Today, African-Americans are in a health crisis in Pennsylvania and throughout the nation. They dispro-portionately suffer from obesity, dia-betes, high blood pressure and other ailments. For example, the CDC re-ports that obesity is 51 percent more prevalent among blacks than whites, and 21 percent more prevalent among Latinos than whites.

According to the American Diabetes Association, blacks are 1.8 times more likely to have diabetes than whites. One in four African-Americans be-tween the ages of 65 and 74 has dia-betes, and 25 percent of black women

older than 55 have the disease. In ad-dition, diabetes is linked to a higher risk of a heart attack, kidney failure, stroke, blindness, nerve damage and amputations for African-Americans. Type II diabetes, a form previously seen only in adults, is becoming more common in children because of rising obesity.

In the end, the mayor’s proposed soda tax provides a good opportunity for us to look out for our health. I know that such a tax will play a role in my decision when I purchase a beverage. Let’s get serious about this major health crisis we are facing to-day. We are up to the challenge, and this is a battle we can win.

State Rep. Ronald WatersChairman of Health and Human

Services Subcommittee on Health

A dog-eat-dog worldTo the Editor:

I am sending this on behalf of my mother Diane-Marie Mahlman who lives on the 2400 block of South Bancroft Street.

We took our 1-year-old pitt bull, Molly, into the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania after another dog attacked her and bit up her head and ear pretty badly. She was bleeding and had a piece of her ear torn. My parents arrived and wait-ed two hours for someone to even call them back to see her. After arriving in back, they said that it would be $600 just to look at her. That’s a disgrace!

My parents told them that they didn’t have that kind of money and that the other dog’s owner (who was paying for it) also didn’t have it right then and there. They told my parents they could apply for credit at 11 per-cent interest. After my parents asked if they could at least clean the wound and give a prescription, they said they were “afraid to clean her wound be-cause she might bite.”

First, this dog was just attacked, so clearly she’s not a biter. Second, and more importantly, she was muzzled.And fi nally, you’re kidding right? You’re a vet and you’re afraid to get bitten? What a joke. They then told my parents since they couldn’t pay they had to leave, no treatment, no cleaning.

Oh, but before they left, they said they’d be billed $120 just for the “visit.”

The very next morning we took her to our family vet, Dr. Lawrence A. Rebbecchi from the Philadelphia Animal Hospital, and they treated her like gold. Cleaned the wound, stapled the torn ear, gave her pain meds and antibiotics, and a cleaning solution. The grand total was $104.

People say, “you get what you pay for and they are the best.” Not true. Sorry. They may be good [at Vet-erinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania], but the fact that they made my dog leave looking the way she did just proves that to be wrong

I live for thisApril 9

That fi rst pitch. The opening kickoff. Drop of the puck. Opening tip-off. Whatever your sport of choice, its

respective season opener is cause for cele-bration. For me, it happens to be baseball.

There is nothing quite like the start of the Major League Baseball season. The smell of the grass, the crack of the bat, the prom-ise of warmer weather — and a season of unknown — are all reason enough for me to become giddy like a child. Who can blame me? Baseball is still America’s pas-time in my eyes. Having a winning team in our city helps, of course. Regardless, fans

of those perennially in the playoff hunt, as well as the habitual cellar dwellers, come out in droves to support their squad — at least on opening day. For if only for one day, there lies hope for everyone.

After day one, the Pittsburgh Pirates were in fi rst-place, and on pace to go 162–0. Ironically, the New York Yankees were in last place, and on pace to go 0–162. The Phightin’ Phils? First-place! On pace for a perfect season! Not only that, with his six RBIs, third baseman Placido Polanco was on pace to drive in a whopping 972 runs for the season! I told you this was a spe-cial day. Unfortunately, three games into the season, none of the above is a remote possibility, but at least for one day, the im-possible can be imagined.

How can you not love opening day? It has national holiday written all over it – and it’s a helluva lot more interesting than Earth Day. Here’s to another magical season full of peanuts, Cracker Jacks and Phillies victories! SPR

By Amanda L. SnyderReview Staff Writer

Police do not have a description of the shooter or shooters, but did col-lect ballistics from the scene on the

2000 block of South 20th Street. At about 4:05 p.m., a 24-year-old wom-

an received a graze wound to her head as she exited the corner store at 20th Street and Snyder Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Meanwhile, a 27-year-old mother of a 2-month-old boy and 2-year-old girl was walking down the street when a bullet struck her right arm. The children were unharmed.

Both women were transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylva-nia in stable condition and have been re-leased, Tolliver said.

To report information, call South Detec-tives at 215-686-3013.

Shooter arrestedA man allegedly retrieved a gun and shot

another who told him to shut up as he was trying to impress nearby girls last week.

A 23-year-old man was installing strobe lights on his girlfriend’s car and talking to a friend on the 500 block of Moore Street around 5 p.m. April 11, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

A friend of the friend, Kenneth Richard aka Saasir Richards, 35, of the 500 block of Titan Street, allegedly began to bad mouth him because girls were around, Tolliver said. When the man told him to shut up, Richard allegedly left the area and returned on a green mountain bicycle. At this time, the 23-year-old man was on his front steps when Richard allegedly said, “what’s up?,” and, according to reports, fi red several shots at him with a silver handgun. The man tried to retreat into his home, but was struck once in the stomach.

The offi cer who arrived on the scene at about 10:55 p.m., transported him to HUP, Tolliver said. He was then transferred to Jefferson Hospital Trauma Center in criti-cal condition and underwent surgery to his stomach.

Through interviews, police learned the Richard’s name and the victim positively identifi ed him in a photo array, Tolliver

said. He was arrested 3:10 p.m. April 15 inside a residence on the 400 block of Dickinson Street. He was charged with at-tempted murder, aggravated assault, fi re-arm violations and related offenses.

Held at gunpointA Grays Ferry man, who has since been

arrested, and an accomplice held up a man at gunpoint for almost 20 minutes Friday.

As the 21-year-old walked home from his girlfriend’s home at 1 a.m., a man on a red mountain bike rode alongside him and asked for change for a $20 on the 2100 block of Marston Terrace, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Divi-sion said. When the victim said he did not have it, he was asked if he had change for a $10. As he replied with the same answer, Kevin Copes, 21, of the 2100 block of Et-ting Terrace, approached him on a blue mountain bike, allegedly pointed a silver revolver at him and said, “well, why don’t you give up everything?”

The two men emptied his pockets and escorted the victim to K Laundromat, 2710 Snyder Ave., Tolliver said. On the way, the unknown man asked, “do you know what kind of gun he has? What kind of gun do you think this is?” As he showed him a black semiautomatic handgun and its shells, he added, “this is a .40 caliber.”

The duo allegedly walked inside K Laundromat with the man and demanded he withdraw $500, Tolliver said. While he swiped his card, he was unable to with-draw any money. The men asked if he could get funds from anyone else, but he said he could not and eventually fl ed on foot. The men were still in possession of his identifi cation and insurance cards.

The man positively identifi ed Copes from a photo array, Tolliver said. His home was searched and evidence linking him to the robbery was recovered. He was arrested 1 p.m. the following day at South Detectives, 24th and Wolf streets.

He was charged with robbery, theft, ag-gravated assault, fi rearm violations and related offenses.

His accomplice has not been identifi ed, but was described as black, 6 foot, with a dark complexion, medium build and a beard.

To report information, call South Detec-tives at 215-686-3013.

Unruly fansA Cherry Hill man was arrested after

intentionally vomiting on an off-duty po-lice captain and his 11-year-old daughter

at the April 14 Phillies game.

After his two friends were ejected for spew-ing foul language and spitting on the fam-ily around 9:30 p.m., Matthew Clemmens, 21, of the unit block of Hassemer Ave., Cherry Hill, N.J., allegedly put

his fi ngers down his throat and threw up on an Easton police captain and his youngest daughter, Offi cer Jill Russell, of the Po-lice Public Affairs Unit said. His 15-year-old daughter also was in attendance at the game against the Washington Nationals. Clemmens also allegedly struck the off-duty cop on the left side of the face caus-ing injury to his ear and vomited on the arresting offi cer.

It was not clear when or how Clemmens received his black eye, Russell said.

Clemmens was charged with corrup-tion of a minor, two counts of stalking and three counts of simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, harassment and disorderly conduct, according to court documents.

Newbold muggingA man was mugged at gunpoint after

one of the robbers asked for a cigarette last week.

The 30-year-old was walking west on the 1600 block of Tasker Street when he noticed a man cross Tasker and two others between 16th and 17th streets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Divi-sion said.

The fi rst man asked for a cigarette, but he did not have one, Tolliver said. A sec-ond male pointed a chrome automatic gun at his stomach and removed $200 from his pockets. Before the trio fl ed north on Bancroft Street, he struck the man in the face with the gun. The man did not seek medical treatment.

No description was provided for the fi rst male. The second was in his late 30s, 5-foot-8, 230 pounds, bald with a graying full beard, tattoos on both arms and wear-ing a white T-shirt, jeans and Timberland boots. The third was black n his late 20s, 6-foot-2, 170 pounds, with a small scruffy mustache and beard and wearing a white T-shirt, dark jeans and Timberland boots.

To report information, call South Detec-tives at 215-686-3013.

Hardware heistAfter trying to steal $675 worth of mer-

chandise from Home Depot in Quarter-master Plaza, the alleged thief was found lying under a tarp in the backseat of a car in the parking lot.

The Loss Prevention Manager at the 2200 Oregon Ave. location is believed to have witnessed Craig Cole, 47, of Upper Darby, concealing merchandise from the store, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The employee confronted the man and tried to escort him back inside the store, but Cole allegedly attempted to fl ee.

The man held Cole’s wrist, but released it when the suspect allegedly pulled a silver and gray object from his pocket, which appeared to be a screwdriver, and said, “I’ll cut you,” Tolliver said.

Cole fl ed into the parking lot, but the employee kept an eye on his location while maintaining a safe distance, Toll-iver said.

Upon police arrival, the man directed police to Cole’s location and offi cers are believed to have found him inside a parked vehicle hiding under a tarp, Toll-iver said. Police also recovered a 6-inch screwdriver from the backseat.

Cole was charged with robbery, theft, aggravated assault and related offenses.

sped off when another driver, who was fol-lowing her, pulled up beside her with a gun.

The 51-year-old was driving near 32nd Street and Grays Ferry Avenue when she drove past a car making a U-turn around 4:20 p.m. April 12, Detec-tive Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

After she turned right on Ellsworth Street, she saw the tan Ford Caravan tailing her, Tolliver said. While stopped at 25th Street, the man driving the Ford pulled up beside her and said, “Oh, I’m a take care of you” and lifted the butt of a gun from his car’s center console. In fear, the woman left the area and drove to the 17th District police station, 20th and Fed-eral streets.

The driver was described as black, in his mid-60s, 170 pounds, with a goatee, salt and pepper hair, glasses and wearing a gray and black sweater and a black cap.

Way, the fi rst student to join the school’s Gift of Life Club. While running in last year’s event, Way collapsed at the fi nish line of the 5K. Despite being rushed to Hahnemann University Hospital, the 19-year-old senior, who planned to enlist in the Marine Corps. with brother Steven, passed away. His death was the result of heart failure, aggravated by the effects of a previously undetected irregular heartbeat.

Members of the team sported pins and necklaces in memory of both Way and David Nelson, Jr., an organ donor, who passed away in ’06 at the early age of 26. Patricia Nelson, David’s mother, credited student members of the club for taking a large part in organizing team participation. Furness Principal Timothy McKenna, as well as the Regional Superintendent Mi-chael Silverman, demonstrated their sup-port by attending the dash. Eight teachers also joined the students in running to com-memorate Way.

“The message and the legacy I think he’s leaving behind is to all be compassionate and kind to each other,” Patricia Nelson, David’s mother, school operations offi cer, and group organizer said.

Even several Furness alumnae, who were former classmates of Way, traveled from their college campuses in order to be

a part of something in which their friend strongly believed.

“He was a really compassionate person, always there to lend a hand,” Tazhe Coo-per, 19, one of the club’s original mem-bers, said of Way.

“Alvin was wonderful — nice, tall, hand-some, respectful. There aren’t enough words to explain him,” added fellow ’09 grad Anitra Harrison, who fi rst met Alvin in the ninth grade.

SATURDAY, THE LOCAL participants joined more than 6,000 Philadelphians — sport-ing bright T-shirts in every color imagin-able — of all ages along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in support of a serious purpose: Organ and tissue donor aware-ness. The event, sponsored by the Gift of Life Donor Program, offered participants the option of taking part in a 5- or 10K run, or a 3K walk, down West River Drive and along the banks of the Schuylkill River.

But this day wasn’t about fi nishing fi rst, second or third. On this day, spreading the word about donor awareness was pri-ority No. 1.

Somewhat apart from the main group, gathered around a tent next to the Wash-ington Monument in Eakins Oval, a team calling itself David’s Parrot Party pre-pared for the race. The team was founded by the family members of Nelson.

“My son was a Jimmy Buffett fan: That’s

how we got our name, David’s Parrot Par-ty. It’s part of a Parrot Head tradition.”

Looking to get students involved, she started the Gift of Life Club, a student group that works on promoting organ and tissue donor awareness. That year, 32 stu-dents joined the original members of Da-vid’s Parrot Party for the dash.

“In 2007, me and my family members came and had a small group — about 30 people — that attended and really had a great time,” Nelson, who also is a board member of the David Nelson, Jr. Memo-rial Fund, — which provides educational scholarships for children of organ and tis-sue donors — said. “We decided the next year to extend it.”

This year’s dash also commemorated Way, who remained a key coordinator dur-ing his two years in the Gift of Life Club. His sister, Traisha Way said she hopes oth-ers will learn from his example. Foremost, she hopes that people will educate them-selves regarding the benefi ts of becoming an organ donor, rather than focusing on the myths that propagate around this issue.

According to Marie Way-Harris, Alvin’s grandmother, the message Way would want to leave behind is “that there’s still love to go around.”

“He always knew to help somebody if they needed it,” she added. SPR

“I registered at Holy Spirit, who has a lot more to offer than this school and the priest gets along with all the kids,” the resident of 11th Street and Oregon Av-enue said.

However, Stella Maris will only provide a tuition subsidy to two of the neighbor-hood schools.

“Children who attend either Epiphany [of Our Lord, 1248 Jackson St.,] or St. Monica [1720 Ritner St.] will have a portion of their tuition paid through the generosity of their fellow parishioners at Stella Maris,” Donna Farrell, spokes-woman for the Archdiocese of Philadel-phia, said via e-mail. “The amount will help to bridge the gap between what the parent would be expected to pay and what it costs the receiving school to educate the child.”

However, the lack of a subsidy does not bother the third-grade mother, as Holy Spirit is about $30 cheaper a month al-ready and provides busing, she said.

While the students are able to register at any school they wish with permission from Pastor Peter J. DiMaria, the two schools were chosen to prevent separating the current Stella Maris students as much as possible, Farrell said.

“It is to continue the sense of community for the parish, keeping the children togeth-er at fewer schools; for example, so that they come together for the Sacraments,” she said. “Often, it is only one school that is designated.”

Parents who have not yet registered their children will be able to do so Tuesday

night at Stella Maris where parents will be able to sign up for one of the two desig-nated schools, she added.

ALTHOUGH SOME PARENTS and parishio-ners have pointed their fi ngers at DiMaria for the closure, he did propose that Stella Maris become the site of a regional school, Farrell said.

“The other parishes in the area were not ready to move to that model,” she said. “In a letter to parents, Father DiMaria said that he has request-ed and been assured that there will be no consideration for alternative use of the school buildings and property at this time. Stella Maris will continue to be part of the regional planning to ensure quality Catholic education in South Philadelphia.”

A meeting was planned for Feb. 18 to discuss options and the — at that time — possible closure, but it was soon can-celled due to a death in the vicar’s fam-ily. The archdiocese did not provide a reason for it not being rescheduled as of press time.

The third grade mother said, DiMaria chased a lot of parishioners out as fund-raising options were declined and tuition was raised.

“Money, money, money you’re giving to God,” she said. “God is in here – in your heart.”

While fundraisers do help fund the school,

they are not enough to keep the school afl oat, Farrell said, adding that tuition and parish support typically funds the schools.

“That is for the needs of the parish,” she said of parishioner’s weekly donation. “Now the parish might decide that its needs include helping to support the school.”

Claims from parents that the rectory had been renovated and a new organ had been purchased for the church were not con-fi rmed by the archdiocese by press time.

With the funds not at the level needed, Stella Maris stu-dents and their par-ents were saddened to hear the official announcement of the school’s closing by Cardinal Jus-tin Rigali April 9. The recommenda-tion from DiMaria to the archdiocese came in February before alerting the parish and the stu-

dent body, which resulted in some los-ing faith in the school staying open past this year.

“When he sent out the initial letter stat-ing he was recommending it to close, he lost everyone right there,” another mother of a third-grader, who also did not wish to give her name, said.

Now her two sons (the younger would have started pre-kindergarten next year at Stella Maris) are in limbo.

“I still don’t know what I’m going to do,” she said.

The school currently has 181 students enrolled with 27 set to graduate in June.

However, it only enrolled 69 for next year before the March 30 deadline – well below 175 needed to remain open, according to the archdiocese.

She had not even bothered signing up her kids at Stella Maris for next year as the school requested a $250 deposit by the deadline, the mother said. While $200 of that would go toward next year’s tuition, the amount was on top of the monthly $270 tuition payment she owed, which was too much money for her to come up with in three weeks, she said. She asked for an extension, but it was not granted.

“He’s unreasonable,” she said of Di-Maria. “He doesn’t work with anyone. I won’t even attend his Mass.”

Now, her oldest son will enter the fourth grade at a new school.

“He’s sad because now all his friends will be broken up,” she said. “He’s been with them since pre-k. It’s the saddest part.”

But the closure hasn’t only affected the students. Principal Sister Lawrence Eliza-beth is equally upset, the parent said.

“She couldn’t even have a conversation with me,” she said of the principal. “She broke down.” SPR

He’s a funny guy

An old adage proclaims “laughter is the best medi-cine.” If such is the case,

then Justin Cautilli, an 8-year-old student at Saint Monica School, 1720 Ritner St., has been doling out good health to classmates and teachers alike.

Third-grade teacher Kristin Rachu-binksi noted the resident of the 2400 block of South Chadwick Street “has a wonderful sense of humor and is always upbeat.”

Who knows? It could pave the way for a career in acting.

“He loves to entertain and making others laugh,” the teacher said. “He entertains everyone when he takes on the role of characters in the stories that we read.”

He also enjoys writing assignments, especially those requiring imaginative thinking. Justin recently received a Crit-ic’s Choice award in the subject area,

but his favorite subject is math.Outside of school, he is a student

with multiple interests. He joined the Cub Scouts last fall and has earned two badges.

Rachubinski noted in reading about the group, she discovered the Cub Scout motto is “doing,” which very aptly applies to her standout pupil.

“Justin is always doing his best,” she said. “He is an excellent citizen, and makes everyone around him smile. I feel Justin is more than de-serving of this honor and his hard work should be recognized.”

The third-grader also enjoys play-ing intramural sports, especially baseball. His favorite Major Leagu-er, as well as role model is Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins.

But it’s dad Arthur who Justin strives to be like one day.

“My dad works hard in life,” he said. SPR

Justin Cautilli will receive a $150 savings bond. If you are a teacher or full-time educator and would like to nominate a student (fi rst through 12th grades), call 215-336-2500 ext. 123 or e-mail editor@southphillyre-view.com.

An East Passyunk resident is promoting local artists in the fourth installment of herhandmade crafts fair Saturday on the Avenue.

Made bydesign

By Jess FuerstReview Contr ibutor

As the fi rst warm sunrays tickle the streets of South Phila-delphia, area residents are looking forward to every-thing the new season brings: Farmer’s markets, the “Italian Market Festival” and many more events. This year’s lineup has a new addition that will be

setting up shop around the Tasker Street Fountain, ushered in by Jessup-and-Morris-streets resident Amy Blasco.

“I didn’t see anything like [a hand-crafted arts fair] in the area. I knew that there were people inter-ested in it in the area. There were stores like Sweet Jane that had a little sort of art opening or showed some work, but I didn’t see anything substantial and I know there are a lot of creative people in the area and I wanted an outlet and I wanted them to come and see everyone else’s work,” the jewelry maker said.

What came of her observations is Crafty Balboa, a boutique-style art fair that consists of vendor-operated booths where local artists can showcase and sell their crafts. With three under her belt — the fi rst of which was part of 2009’s DooWop Car Show and Street Festi-val — Blasco is gearing up for the fourth installment noon to 5 p.m. April 24.

“DooWop got completely rained out, as did all of us standing under our tents!” Blasco said at her fi rst attempt to stage the event supported by the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District. “We did it Sept. 12 — it actually ended up being about half the vendors … There were a lot of people walking through

and I had a lot of people come up to me and say, ‘Are you doing this every week?’ Lots of artists coming up and asking when was the next event.”

“April Showers,” as this weekend’s fourth event is ironically monikered, will have approximately 35 vendors from around the area and outside of Philadel-phia setting up booths at Tasker Street and Passyunk Avenue.

“I make jewelry. I have two different types of jewelry, mainly really fun, bight colorful enamel pieces and laser-cut and engraved acrylic jewelry. For ‘Crafty,’ I brought more of my enamel things,” Blasco, whose event will feature everything from hand-made clothing and jewelry to photography to bath and body products, said. “I tried to pick a really good selection of people with quality work that I fi nd interesting.”

Original promotions for last year’s event, which were aptly boxing-themed, fl ew off local stores shelves and led Blasco to feel she had stumbled on something exciting to area residents.

“I’ve been really surprised — with the fi rst show we had in the area, it was mainly foot traffi c and I was surprised at how much foot traffi c [there] was,” the 26-year-old said. “My third event was in Cen-ter City … I did a lot of marketing down

here for it because I wanted to bring the same customers out, wanted them to know we were still alive and doing this.

“And I had people e-mailing me saying, ‘Can you drop more [fl yers] off? They’re gone. Can I give you my menu, my busi-ness cards?’ It’s obvious people in the area are interested in this.

BLASCO WAS RAISED in Northeastern Penn-sylvania, around Scranton, from which she commuted two hours by bus weekly to attend classes at Moore College of Art & Design.

“I started coming to Philadelphia when I was 15 to take art classes at Moore. A lot of drawing classes … I’d come down every Saturday morning,” Blasco said. “Basically I came when I was comfortable enough to get on a bus by myself.”

Blasco had always let her creative streak shine and she chose to continue her stud-ies at the University of the Arts after high school, focusing on crafts — specifi cally jewelry and medals.

“After I graduated the University of the Arts, I went to New York to study at the Gemological Institute of America to study diamonds,” Blasco, who later worked at vari-ous fi ne jewelry stores for a few years, said.

Boring of the luxury retail life, Blasco

sought further educational opportunities and focused her search on European insti-tutions. She was accepted to the Creative Academy in Milan, Italy, where she re-ceived a full scholarship and spent a year learning the fi ner points of luxury design with an emphasis on accessories.

“I had been in a program before in Flor-ence and I studied Italian and photogra-phy,” Blasco said.

Her time abroad secured her a post-grad-uate internship in Paris with Van Cleef and Arpels where she spent three months working on special orders, designing from the pre-existing collection.

Moving back State-side, her South Philly neighborhood was a natural choice.

“’Cause I came from Milan — It was South Philly, I mean, how Italian can you get?” Blasco, who lived in an apartment at Passyunk and Moore Street before moving to her current townhome that she shares with her boyfriend and dog, said. “There was such an Italian vibe in the area.

“We had a lot of friends in the area, we were familiar with it.”

The fi nished basement in her current spot is the perfect studio for her hand-crafted designs and freelance work for a Port Richmond company that specializes in men’s accessories.

“I really like that [South Philadelphia] has such an array of people, young people, it’s just an eclectic group of people that re-ally work together. I really like that there was a sense of community,” Blasco said. “In the area things were happening.

“In the area there was a lot of new com-ing in and there still is to this day, which is so nice to see — that everything here has been here for a long time, we are still traditional and it’s sort of this two worlds coming together.”

One of the additions to the area, thanks to Blasco, is Crafty Balboa, which the found-er hopes to keep going for many years and incorporate into the pre-existing South Philadelphia mainstays like “DooWop” or the “Italian Market Festival.”

“I think that is the reason that I like Crafty Balboa so much: It has the ability to change and each event is entirely dif-ferent depending on the people coming in and the crafters coming in. It will be for-ever evolving and changing. Maybe we’ll have food and music, maybe we’ll have it where it’s like a workshop.

“I don’t want to put it in a box and say what it is. I want to let it evolve on its own.” SPR

By R. Kurt OsenlundMovie Rev iewer

André Téchiné lets viewers fi ll in a great many gaps. This is typically a merit of French cinema, and a

welcome alternative to the American tra-dition of force-feeding plot. But there’s a fi ne line between tantalizing the audience and stringing it along, and Téchiné crosses it one too many times, shifting focus and mood in ways both needless and spas-tic. The director and co-writer means to surprise and provoke, and sometimes he does, but he also frustrates.

Adapted from a play by Jean-Marie Besset and based on actual events that in-cited a French media frenzy in 2004, the fi lm concerns Jeanne (Émilie Dequenne), an unmotivated, redheaded 20-something who fancies rollerblading and ultimately cooks up an elaborate lie about being the victim of an anti-Semetic hate crime. That development doesn’t materialize until the fi rst hour has wrapped, and the earlier por-tion, which mainly follows the non-Jewish Jeanne’s doomed romance with a shady as-piring wrestler (Nicolas Duvauchelle), nei-ther prepares us for it nor provides Jeanne with suffi cient depth so we may know or care why she turns to such behavior.

The most we’re offered are vague chap-ter stops (“Circumstances” and “Conse-quences”) and coverage of similar crimes in casually integrated newscasts watched by Jeanne and her widowed mother, Lou-ise (Catherine Deneuve), and discussed by the dysfunctional family members of a Jewish attorney (Michel Blanc), who Lou-ise knows through her late husband.

The subtle manner in which the char-acters’ stories connect provides a certain composure, as does the naturalistic acting,

but any larger statement Téchiné, is trying to make is lost in the telling.

And while “Train” is a ride worth taking if just for Dequenne’s compelling pres-ence, Deneuve’s sly performance quirks and a smattering of handsome scenery and formal techniques, it has a vexing ten-dency to fl y off the rails.

Nancy Meyers doesn’t exactly stand out as a tasteful, graceful screenwriter, but she’s an essential fi lmmaker, presenting entertaining mainstream movies about and for the oft-ignored 50-plus crowd. Her latest, the freewheeling romp “It’s Com-plicated,” stars Meryl Streep as a well-to-do California restaurateur who falls into an affair with her married ex-husband (Alec Baldwin), while also being wooed by atimid architect (Steve Martin). “Com-plicated” has its fl aws, but its extremely funny, and proves a romantic comedy can work without bright young things in the leading roles.

Good Republican ideas

Dear reader, don’t be shocked by the concept that there are a few good Republican ideas out there. I real-

ize those of you who have read this col-umn for the past 46 years or so believe that my idea of a good Republican is Abraham Lincoln. But here are some worthy ideas fostered by Republicans that either have been adopted or should be considered.

SCHOOL VOUCHERS — Some of my liberal friends think a school voucher program is tantamount to abandoning the public school system. I believe vouchers actually could help. The dirty little secret behind much of the opposition is the belief that public schools can’t compete with private and parochial schools, yet in Philadelphia, Masterman High School not only com-petes, it exceeds them. Most organizations improve with competition as it breeds ef-fi ciency and innovation.

How about the argument that vouchers would simply drain funds from the public school system? The main reason public schools fi ght a constant battle for adequate funding is their support base is too narrow. Would New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie so blithely use its public schools as the whip-ping boy for budget cuts if the interests of private and parochial school parents were joined with those of the public school par-ents? I don’t think so.

Democrats have historically opposed vouchers. In recent months, Democrats in D.C. voted to cut off funding for a voucher system allowing low-income children to get a better education. That’s not a good policy nor is it good politics for a party that purports to care more for the poor. Voucher systems have been popular with middle- and lower-income parents who want more choices. Credit the idea of vouchers to the Republicans.

MANDATES FOR HEALTH INSURANCE — This might surprise you but the idea that the government require all Americans to get health insurance originated with the Re-publicans. In 1993, Republican Sens. Or-rin Hatch of Utah and Charles Grassley of Iowa broached the idea of mandates that would form the basis of health-care reform. Then Republican Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney, incorporated them into law in his state, which led to our new federal health care law.

THE STIMULUS — Most of the attention on the stimulus package has been focused on what it has not done, but folks tend to have

short memories. Only swift government action avoided a complete economic melt-down. Also forgotten is that the original stimulus bill was passed during the last days of the George W. Bush administra-tion. The Democrats’ stimulus package was actually the second.

TORT REFORM — While it is true the net savings of tort reform appear to have been overhyped by its mostly Republi-can proponents, it is an idea whose time has come. The legal profession obscenely profi ts from our current tort laws just as the health insurance industry does with the laws governing health care. Democrats have trouble admitting as much when it comes to tort reform just as Republicans are wedded to the big health insurance companies. In both cases, it is less of a dif-ference of political philosophy than who contributes to their political campaigns.

NUCLEAR POWER AND OFFSHORE DRILLING — President Obama shocked his Democratic constituency by acknowledging the limited use of nuclear power plants has a place in a plan to make America energy independent. These were ideas pushed by mainly Repub-licans in the past. Critics link nuclear waste disposal problems and the potential vulner-ability of such power plants to a terrorist attack. These are legitimate concerns that must be addressed, but should not result in rejecting nuclear power use. If France can safely use nuclear power, I don’t see why American ingenuity can’t do the same.

In the same way, the president recently realized that while we should develop al-ternate renewable energy sources, we can’t ignore our offshore oil reserves. Limited drilling has a role in a hybrid approach designed to free us from dependence on foreign oil. There have been considerable improvements in drilling that more effec-tively safeguard against environmental hazards. We will not drill our way out of our energy dilemma, but we should not ig-nore our own oil reserves.

I have outlined fi ve good essentially Republican ideas. What’s the catch? To-day’s Republican Party has mainly turned its back on its own ideas. Take the federal mandates for health insurance. Republi-can attorney generals across the country, including our own Tom Corbett, are suing to rid the mandates, calling them “uncon-stitutional.” Even the originators of the idea, Hatch and Grassley, now reject the idea. Health-care reform, the brainchild of Romney, is now just “socialism.”

The stimulus, which began under Bush, is also rejected by Republicans as a social-ist plot. Obama’s proposed use of nuclear power and offshore drilling is not enough in Republican’s minds. It seems that all it takes for Republicans to reject their own ideas is for Obama to propose them. SPR

Debbie’s Baked Zucchini MarinaraI N G R E D I E N T S :1 bag of frozen zucchini slices1 small onion, thinly sliced2 cloves of garlic, minced1/4 teaspoon of oreganoSalt and pepper, to taste2 cups of marinara sauce, jarred

or homemade1 bag of mozzarella cheese, shredded1 tablespoon of parmigiana, grated

D I R E C T I O N S :Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients togeth-

er, reserving a little of the mozzarella for the topping. Add the remaining cheese on top.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is hot and stringy.

When a craving hits for a thick and fi lling baked parmi-giana dish, there are numerous options. Chicken and veal might be the most popular, but others prefer taking

a healthier approach. Debbie Robb of the 300 block of Mercy Street has just the recipe for

those seeking greens with her Baked Zucchini Marinara. It has just the right combination of sauce, cheeses and of course veggies. All the dish needs is a side of garlic bread to scoop up all the excess gravy. SPR

The words of the great food writer M.F.K. Fisher on sharing food (“Table for one” April 15) reso-

nated in my mind throughout a sumptu-ous multi-course feast I shared with my friend Alexander at Sampan, Chef Mi-chael Schulson’s 4-month-old Pan Asian restaurant on 13th Street’s restaurant row.

Each dish we shared — save one — was bursting with fl avor and prepared with top-quality ingredients. Elizabeth, our server, advised us that Schulson creates small, but not tiny plates because he wants his patrons to share each dish.

Two days before our dinner, I went to Sampan for lunch and was recognized. I had a pork bahn mi ($7), a juicy succulent pork belly sandwich served on a hoagie roll topped with pickled cucumbers and carrots with a spicy mayonnaise-like sauce on the side. It comes with a bag of Utz chips and a fountain soda. I do not drink soda so I ordered iced tea ($2), which was on the weak side.

That said, it is back to dinner. An icy cold Bombay Sapphire martini was well-priced ($8.50). Alexander ordered a large Shichi Hon Yari sake ($40), which we shared. It arrived in a French carafe.

Alexander adores truffl es. We began with a mushroom salad ($11) and edam-ame dumplings ($7). The salad was a simple mound of baby greens tossed in a heady truffl e vinaigrette. Less is, in-deed, deliciously more. The dumplings are a Schulson signature dish. He cooks

edamame, adds truffl es and purees them into the consistency of baby food. The wrappers were thin with a bit of bite. They were fl oating in a light sake broth laced with shoots.

King crab egg roll ($15) was a fi rst for me and Alexander. He does not like crab meat, probably because he sampled some from the Gulf of Mexico, which I do not like either. I suspect Schulson uses Atlan-tic crab to fashion two cool, crispy rolls topped with a spicy pineapple chutney, miso and scallions. They were gone with-in a few moments.

Tuna sashimi ($14) was an eye-appealing presentation of small chunks of fi rst-rate, raw tuna scattered on a large white plate strewn with bits of creamy avocado. Tuna and avocado is a fi ne culinary marriage. We placed the fi sh and avocado on crispy crackers similar to naan and enjoyed.

The chicken dumplings ($9) were a surprise. The minced chicken was nicely seasoned and stuffed into light wrappers with a light broth and microscopic bits of potatoes and rice. This would make a deli-cious soup on a cool evening.

Duck is one of my favorite foods. Schul-son looked to France for its unusual style and presentation of Peking duck ($17). The meat was shredded and arrived in a glass jar much like pork rillettes you would fi nd in France. It was cooked in its own fat and for some reason, emitted an aroma of cinnamon, which I liked. Two bite-size, thin pancakes prepared with

tamarind were alongside julienned scal-lions and cucumbers. We took child-like pleasure in stuffi ng the pancakes and eat-ing them with our hands.

Alexander has an appetite for life and fi ne food. He wanted a few more dishes. Although I was slowing down, it was fi ne with me. If we stopped, we would not have sampled Schulson’s super over-the-top Korean barbecue short ribs ($10). They were succulent and accented with kim che. King crab satay ($14) were equally fi ne. Succulent tender crab was simply placed on wooden skewers and needed little embellishment.

At this point, Schulson came over to greet us.

“I made your matzo ball soup,” he said. During Passover, I tweeted about my Asian-style matzo ball soup. Schulson wanted the recipe, so I e-mailed it to him.

He sent over a bowl of ham and egg-

fried rice, which Alexander and I agreed was just so-so. He also sent us desserts. Alexander is not a dessert eater. He does not care for sweets, but adores honey. A strawberry tart topped with meringue was a bit sweet, but I loved the coconut tart made with a chocolate crust.

Service was a little spotty. We arrived at 7 p.m. and by 8 p.m., Sampan was almost solidly booked.

By Phyllis Stein-NovackFood Columnist

My sister Sandy works in a card and gift shop. She has told me about the last minute rush during

every holiday. We know the culprits who save their Christmas shopping for Dec. 23 and head to the card store to fi nd the shelves almost bare.

Dear readers, I know many of you are procrastinators. You wait until the last day to go foraging for gifts and cards. Mother’s Day is May 9. Here, I will give you more than enough time to search for a special gift. Simply tear out my column, set it on your desk or tape it to the fridge. Here are my suggestions.

Since the success of “Julie & Julia,” “Mastering the Art of French Cook-ing” made No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller’s list for the fi rst time last sum-mer. Written by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck, edited by Ju-dith Jones at Knopf, this tome is the bible for French cooking in America. Since its fi rst publication in 1961, “Mastering” has gone through numerous printings. The most recent ones were updated for those of us who use food processors.

My copy holds sentimental val-ue. I found it in a used New Hope bookstore. The handwritten in-scription reads: “To Ted and Dot-tie, bon appétit for all the good things of life!” Freddie and

Charles, February, 1970. Charles was Paul Child’s twin brother. Freddie was his wife.

I also recommend “The All New, All Purpose Joy of Cooking,” by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rom-bauer Becker and Ethan Becker. It’s an all-around book and encyclopedia because it runs the cu-linary gamut from A to Z. The only down-fall: I do not care for

the way the recipes are written. I like to see all the ingredients listed fi rst followed by directions.

My favorite authors include: Marcella Hazan for Italian cucina; Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa, for global contem-porary cooking: books by the late Sheila Lukens, such as “The Silver Palate;” and ones by my friend and mentor, Barbara Kafka. Her book “Roasting” won a James Beard award.

If Mom enjoys the culinary literary style, I recommend works by the brilliantly

funny M.F.K. Fisher, includ-ing “How to Cook a Wolf,”

“The Art of Eat-ing” and M.F.K

Fisher: “A Life in Letters.” “The Man Who

Ate Everything” and “It Must Have Been Something I

Ate” by Jeffrey Steingarten also are worth considering. He is a frequent judge on “Iron Chef America” and mixes culinary scholarship travels with witty thoughts.

I am not a mom, but I would adore anyone who handed me $500 to go on a shopping spree at Fan-te’s Kitchen Wares. Set-ting me free in there is like setting Liz Taylor free in Cartier. I have a super well-equipped kitchen with a Wolf double wall oven, Wolf halogen induc-tion cook top and a sub-zero refrigera-tor. It does not mat-ter what type of appliances mom has, she loves her kitchen.

I do not own a KitchenAid but if Mom

bakes, go for it. I use my Cuisinart and im-mersion blender all the time.

There are a number of items I do not own, but Mom may like. I intend to pur-chase a mortar and pestle, a top-qual-ity mandoline, a digital kitchen timer, a round mesh hand strainer to fi sh foods out of pots, good steak knives, a stainless steel hand-held colander and a stainless steel ladle.

You may want to put together a basket of goodies and gadgets. It could include a bottle of extra-virgin olive oil, import-ed red wine vinegar, a jar of raw honey, French preserves, imported dry pasta from Italy, a can of San Marzano toma-toes and a jar of white anchovies along with a microplane, a colorful vegetable peeler, oven mitts, an apron, a meat ther-

mometer and a spoon made from olive wood.

If you are taking Mom to brunch on Mother’s Day, I guarantee you will be hungry

by 8 p.m. You could set up a small buffet of bread, cheese,

crackers, fresh fruit and wine. If your brunch was more like

lunch, have breakfast for dinner by scrambling some eggs, add

some ham or bacon, toast and put on a pot of coffee. SPR

By Bill Gelman Review Managing Ed itor

Lou Spadaccini has a tough time pic-turing what life is going to be like without Al Baur, Mark Donato and

Michael Riverso in his lineup. Besides being the only three seniors on

Neumann-Goretti’s baseball team, the trio has been with their same coach since age 9. Come June, while the coach is staying put at 10th and Moore streets, the three Catholic League all-stars are moving on to the college level.

Over the past decade, they’ve compiled quite the scrapbook of diamond memo-ries, with one of the biggest — winning a Catholic League championship — com-ing during the 2009 season. Fittingly, on this farewell tour, the seniors and close friends plan on taking things a step further this spring by going out with a school-fi rst PIAA state baseball title. The 9-1 Saints, who suffered their fi rst defeat of the sea-son Monday against Archbishop Carroll, were recently rated No. 19 nationally in a recent ESPN Rise Fab-50 poll.

The amazing run marks quite a reversal of fortune from the ’07 season — Spa-daccini’s fi rst year at Neumann-Goretti — when the squad recorded just three victories.

BUT THE PLAYERS knew all along that their

friend, mentor and coach had what it took to make the Saints a championship caliber program.

“I knew with Lou as our coach we could easily do it all if we put in the hard work every single day,” Baur, of Second and Daly streets, said.

Donato, the reigning Blue Division MVP, shared a similar opinion.

“He is the best coach I’ve ever had for any sport,” the resident of Third and Ritner streets said. “He keeps us sharp, we prac-tice everyday and he never lets us slip up.”

Spadaccini, who previously coached them as members of the Senators 9-year-old travel team and in the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, based at 18th and Johnston streets, fi nds himself experi-encing mixed emotions.

“They’re like my own sons,” he said of the

three players. “It’s kind of a bittersweet year for me. We have a really strong team, but ev-ery game we play we get closer to the end.

“I’ve never had to coach a game without one of those kids there.”

When asked if he was considering mov-ing on to the college ranks, Spadaccini couldn’t help but let out a little chuckle.

Donato, a fi rst baseman and pitcher, and Baur, a third baseman and pitcher, are both planning to attend a Florida-based junior college, while Riverso is staying north to attend La Salle University.

Riverso, of the 2200 block of Juniper Street, said his coach is “one of a kind.”

“He taught me most of my game,” the outfi elder, infi elder and reliever said. “I’ve been playing with him since I was 8. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know if I would still be playing baseball today.”

Riverso broke the news to Spadaccini earlier this month that the Saints were na-tionally ranked.

For Donato, the bond extends well be-yond the foul lines.

“He is like a dad to me,” he said of Spa-daccini. “You can talk to him about any-

thing you want.”For now, a lot of the talk is about taking

care of the unfi nished business of winning a state championship. Last spring, in their fi rst-ever appearance in states, the Saints advanced to the Class AAA semifi nals, but lost 9-4 to Abington Heights. The defeat was all the motivation Donato and his team-mates needed to turn things up a notch.

“I would love to win a state crown,” Riv-erso said. “I guess because we are now the favorites to win, everybody is going to try to knock us down.”

No matter what happens along this fi nal leg of the journey, the players and their coach will have a tough time forgetting how they brought Neumann-Goretti base-ball back up from the ashes as last year’s title run ended a nearly fi ve-decade cham-pionship drought.

“It just proves to everyone how good of a coach he is and how much time he puts in to get us where we are,” Riverso said. SPR
