Review Staff Writer
he 1300 block of Percy Street is unique simply from an archi-tectural perspective – it bends, there’s no front yard or house fa-
çades, you enter it one side and can’t see the exit on the other. This is cool and, sadly, an opportune space for undesirable behaviors: trash dump-ing, doing or selling drugs, graffi ti,
generally anything one doesn’t want to be seen doing.
Enter artist David Guinn and the Passyunk Square Civic Assocation’s (PSCA) beautifi cation committee. Add a healthy Knight Foundation grant and a matching endowment from the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, plus lighting designer Drew Billiau, and “Electric Street” is born, a bright neon mural electri-fi ed by bendable LED lights.
Guinn’s a Philadelphia lifer who calls the 1100 block of Cross Street home. The artist is a graduate of the McCall School, Masterman, Cen-tral High and Columbia University, where he studied architecture, and has been painting murals in Philly for years through the Mural Arts Program. In fact, he’s painted nearly 30 Philadelphia murals since 1998 (plus more in Montreal, New York City, and D.C.).
“I feel pretty connected to all the work that I do,” he said, but pointed towards his seasons murals at 10th and Bainbridge (“Crystal Snow-cape”) and formerly Ninth and Bain-bridge streets (“Autumn,” which was recreated at Fleisher Art Memorial as “Autumn Revisited” after the 629 S. Ninth St. lot was developed). Ma-rio Lanza Park, 200 Catharine St., houses “Summer,” and “Spring is in Center City.
A collaboration between mural artist David Guinn and lighting designer Drew Billiau has yielded a neon-bright light mural.

“I’m proudest of our Constitution. I also respect the men and women who fight for our freedom to keep the principles of our Constitution intact.”
Chris D’Elia, Broad and Shunk streets
“I served in the United States Air Force, so I’m
happy to have played a part in keeping us free. Our
freedom is what defines us.”
Thomas McClain, 1000 block of Daly Street
“There’s so much to be proud of. I’ll say being healthy, having a strong will to overcome obsta-cles, and looking forward to the new presidency.”
John Pelaggi, Broad and Jackson
streetsInterviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau
Growing up as a self-professed history nerd, I became obsessed with the U.S. Presidency, memorizing the names of our leaders and their terms and accomplishments with ease. As I add-ed a few years to my comprehension of the role of our president and came to understand certain issues a tad better, I began to realize just how polarizing the officeholder can be and started to develop sympathy for the winners of general elections, believing they had monumental, per-haps impossible, tasks ahead of them.
I must say that this election cycle has me per-plexed. The presumptive nominees, with all due respect to them and their supporters, irk the life out of me. That is not to say that I side with the disgruntled Bernie Sanders backers (he irked even the afterlife out of me) or the other failed candidates’ advocates, as their folks did not seem dynamic either. I find myself at a weird point where though I certainly care who wins, I
often utter of Donald Trump and Hillary Clin-ton “Is this the best that we could do?” Quite frankly, I wonder where we are headed as a country comprised of individuals who deserve a dynamic head of state and not “the lesser of two evils,” as many have already dubbed the to-be-determined victor. Has anyone else ever felt so politically petrified?
Joseph Myers South Philly Review editor
Mayoral musings
To the Editor:In only 18 days, the most exciting and his-
toric event in our country’s recent memory will happen in Philadelphia, the Democratic Nation-al Convention. I know for many that a July trip
to the Shore is pretty appealing. But trust me, Philadelphia, you don’t want to miss this.
If you stay in town, you’ll be part of histo-ry. There will be opportunities to witness and engage with those demonstrating their First Amendment rights, as well as chances to see firsthand some of the inner workings of national news programs.
The smaller caucuses and councils happen-ing during the day at the Pennsylvania Conven-tion Center will also be open to the public, and, across the city, there will be panel discussions with some of nation’s top leaders on everything from immigration to gay rights.
Additionally, there will be watch parties at bars, restaurants, and venues across Philadel-phia each night of the convention, especially the final night, July 28, when the Democratic candidate for president will formally accept the nomination.
If politics isn’t your thing, there will also be many nonpartisan events for visitors and resi-dents to enjoy.
A Night Market-style food-truck festival will take place on July 25 at Third and Arch streets, in the heart of Old City. On July 27, the big-gest outdoor Center City Sips ever will occur at Dilworth Plaza, Comcast Plaza, and Centre Square. There will even be a public art installa-tion of 57 fiberglass donkeys placed all over the city, each painted by a local artist to represent a different delegation.
There will be several family-friendly events as well. The very popular PoliticalFest from the 2000 Republican National Convention will be returning. This one-of-a-kind festival celebrat-ing political history, government, and the road to the White House will be showcased at seven participating locations from July 22 through July 27. It’s perfect for adults and children of all ages.
Additionally, shops, restaurants, museums, and other attractions will offer unique and ex-clusive deals or specials on food and beverages, clothing and merchandise, attraction admis-sion, and more, publicizing them on their social media accounts by using #DNCDeals.
If you’re worried about the crowds, don’t be. We’re expecting about 50,000 visitors, which is about the equivalent of the Army-Navy game. Additionally, since most of those guests will be at the Wells Fargo Center from 5 to 11 each night, it’s a perfect time for you to sample all of Philadelphia’s amazing restaurants and other
DNC Deals all across the city.Getting around won’t be a problem either. We
don’t anticipate any extended road or highway closures outside the stadium district, and SEP-TA is planning to add extra service to accom-modate the delegates on the Broad Street Line.
So join us, Philadelphians, in celebrating this exciting time in our city.
Jim Kenney Mayor of Philadelphia
Silence the violence
To the Editor:James Callos, in his letter about stopping the
epidemic of gun violence in America (“Bullet points, June 30), maintains that guns, as “in-animate objects,” are not responsible for kill-ing. Only “people” kill with whatever object is handy, including bare hands.
By his logic, we only have to control people and the problem is solved.
What he chooses to ignore is that mass kill-ings are possible only with weapons designed for that purpose. The Orlando shooter could not have killed or wounded more than 100 hu-man beings with just his bare hands. He used a high-powered rifle capable of firing dozens of shots before reloading.
Callos ignores that America has more guns per capita than the rest of the industrial world and the highest per capita gun-related death rate.
We must support law enforcement and keep an eye on suspicious persons, but we also have to make it impossible for determined individu-als to obtain weapons of mass destruction.
Gloria Endres South Philadelphia
For the record
The June 30 issue of the South Philly Re-view neglected to mention Debra Panto as the author of “Road Kill,” the poem that appeared as the final element of the Letters page. The publication apologizes for this oversight.

Review Ed itor
t 11:59 p.m. Sunday, a single bullet struck Asir Brown in the back as he and acquaintances were attending a holiday barbecue on the 1800 block of South 31st Street, the Philadelphia Police De-
partment said. Personnel at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia pronounced him dead at 12:37 a.m..
Authorities learned from the occasion’s attendees that a car passed through their block and unleashed a half-dozen shots, with published reports noting that the 16-year-old was not likely the intended target. Po-lice arrived at the scene and found Brown in the rear of a block property, parting with him after performing CPR. They located six small-caliber cartridge casings in the rear of the driveway, adding that a dark-colored vehicle heading north from the scene could have in-fl icted the damage.

A threat led a pre-teen to lose his bike to thieves in Point Breeze.
At approximately 8:31 p.m. June 16, the complainant was riding his new mountain bike on the 2400 block of Dickinson Street, with the offenders approaching him near the intersection of Dickinson and South Taylor streets. Pulling a black handgun from his waist, the second ne’er-do-well barked “Get off the bike, or I’ll shoot you,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South De-tective Division said. When their juvenile victim com-plied, the fi rst aggressor took the means of transporta-tion, with the offenders fl eeting on the 1400 block of South Taylor Street.
The complainant described his missing possession as a light blue Mongoose mountain bike with orange pedals, orange hand grips on the handlebars, and a black seat. He tabbed the offenders as black, with the fi rst being 15 to 17 years old and 6 foot; having a light brown complexion and a curly Afro; and wearing a black hoodie and light blue jeans; and the second as having a dark complexion; wearing a gray longsleeve shirt with dark blue jeans; armed with a handgun, and riding a green mountain bike.

Police are hoping for leads in a Special Victims Unit case that occurred in Bella Vista.
At 10:50 p.m. June 20, the complainant was walk-ing along the 1000 block of South Street when an un-known Hispanic male grabbed her as he rode by on a bicycle. Along with his ethnicity, she noted that he was heavy set, had black hair that was long on the top and short on the sides, and wore a blue shirt, khakis, and a black backpack with an orange stripe.

A motorist passing through Point Breeze left the neighborhood with gun damage to his car.
At approximately midnight on June 24, police re-sponded to a person-with-a-gun call and met with the
complainant, learning he had been driving a 2013 Nis-san on the 2200 block of McKean Street, where he ob-served four unknown males standing on the highway, with two each on the driver and passenger sides, De-tective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As he passed them, one of the fi gures on the pas-senger side raised his arm and fi red off six shots. When he drove from the area, he observed four bullet holes in his vehicle. He described the foursome as black and wearing orange and gray hoodies.

Two men pulled off a home invasion in Grays Ferry. The unknown males rang the bell to a residence on
the 2600 block of Wharton Street at 4:37 p.m. June 17, forcing their way in when the owner opened the door, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Divi-sion said. The duo had him rest face-down on the fl oor, with one offender placing a black semi-automatic handgun to his neck while his accomplice ventured to the second fl oor to rummage through the rooms.
They went on to force him into a rear bedroom be-fore fl eeing toward Reed Street, taking with them cash, a Galaxy S7 cell phone, two sets of car keys, a gold ring, and three wrist watches. He described them as black, with both being 6 foot and wearing dark hood-ies. The main offender donned gray jeans, while the second wore dark blue jeans.

No ration oncompassion
Review Ed itor
never run low on topics to discuss with my fi ve-year-old son, reveling in his regard for gathering information and applying it to appropriate situations. I have noticed that
compassion has become our most layered con-cept, and I fi nd fascinating the ample opportu-nities that we have to explore and explain its importance as not only people of faith but as individuals concerned for the overall strength of the human family. Because of our talks and my own realization of how much compassion I have received (I surely hope many acquain-tances would say I have generously given it, too.), I thought of 10 occasions or circum-stances that fi ll me with added consideration for South Philadelphians.
10) Long lines in stores and banks: I have a well-developed sense of patience, but long lines in stores and banks inwardly reduce me to an instant infant. Perhaps I am guilty of projecting my frustration onto other locals, but these eyes have seen enough arms akimbo, sweaty brows, and glances at watches and phones to know that many residents certainly wish time could wait for them.
9) The missing of buses and trains: We have all heard the expression “You can’t win ’em all,” and, apparently, we cannot catch them all, either. Having often missed buses and trains by a few seconds, I often offer condolences to folks not fl eet enough to make a transit connec-tion, especially on Sunday, when SEPTA feels it must reduce service just to give another ex-ample of how much it cares about us.
8) The wait for the South Philly Review: The struggle is real, as so many say. We often hear from residents who are raring to read the latest issue and who want to know exactly what time it will appear on their steps. Being this beloved publication’s editor and a long-time admirer of the Review before I had any journal-istic experiences, plus as someone who loves knowing what makes communities tick, I wish I could deliver each copy myself.
7) The loss of pets: The sting of parting with a pet forever, which I have felt a few times, takes signifi cant courage to counter, but having to search for a lost forever friend can prove equally lamentable. I was fortunate in
2011 when my youngest cat, Basil, went miss-ing for four days, but I know that many locals are forced to fi ght back tears when wondering when their lost buddies might return.
6) The release of the NFL schedule: We certainly live in a football town yet lack the titles to inspire much envy. When the National Football League releases its regular season schedule, I often encounter people who make bold predictions on how the Eagles will fare over their 16-game slate, with many of them saying “This could be our year.” To those with such confi dence, you have my condolences.
5) The creation of my police report: I have had the responsibility of writing the police re-port for this paper since September 2013. Last September, with the implementation of this col-umn, the size of the report went from two pages to one page, meaning I would have my heart broken fewer times when chronicling the hor-rible crimes that befall South Philadelphians. May they all fi nd justice.
4) The national media’s disdain for us as a sports town: Yes, we have had some foolish fans over the years, but one would think we are all Neanderthals based on the way that many national outlets comment on our conduct. When will bashing our collective passion go out of fashion for their writers?
3) The shuttering of schools and churches: Education and my faith have always compelled me to try to make the wisest decisions, so I feel a tad tender when I hear that those who are equally passionate about learning institutions and/or houses of worship must say “goodbye” to their beloved spaces. No matter what comes of revamps, I lament the loss of lessons for resi-dents’ scholastic and spiritual growth.
2) Trash collection during the summer: Stories have me heading all over South Philly, a perk that I love, as I can see how our commu-nities show pride in their identity and upkeep. Unfortunately, the summer brings what I have dubbed the South Philly Funk, that ubiquitous odor that is the child of the union of heat and carelessness, truth be told. I wish that we could have a universal trash day so that my nostrils would not have to engage in daily feats of strength.
1) Massive snowfalls: No matter one’s ad-dress, contending with massive snowstorms can prove the ultimate nuisance for South Philadel-phians. With shoveling, parking, and plowing (hahaha) as the primary gripes, snow, which made many of us happy as children, often re-duces us to earlier yet far less content versions of ourselves by making us whiny and miser-able. Each fl ake often reminds me of what a peer wrote in a Saint Joseph’s University com-pilation for which I served as an assistant editor – We know we have become adults when we stop wishing for snow.SPR

20 Silverliner Vs, one third of SEPTA’s Regional Rail fl eet acquired between 2010 and 2013, were pulled when a defect in the Hyundai Rotem trains’
equalizer beams was identifi ed on Friday morning. “The Silverliner V structural de-fect was discovered early Friday morning
by SEPTA railroad vehicle maintenance personnel,” according to a SETPA press release, “within 24 hours, all Silverliner Vs had been taken out of service.” Weekday commuters will make do with a modifi ed Saturday schedule while alternative modes, extended services, parking spots, and fare refunds get settled.
Furthermore, “customers should expect crowded conditions… and once capacity is reached on-board, trains will not be able
to make stops to pick up additional rid-ers, particularly close to Center City.” The Market-Frankford and Broad Street lines, the Norristown High Speed Line, the Route 101 and 102 trolleys and “expanded rush-hour service levels” will “provide more fre-quent service and added capacity.” Morn-ing rush hour service will be expanded to 10 a.m., and evening rush hour service will run from 3 to 7 p.m.
South Philadelphians may consider park-
ing near the AT&T Station at the Sports Complex, where SEPTA has secured 1,600 spots at the former Naval Hopsital, 1600 Pattison Ave., as well as at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. Nearly 13,000 commut-ers will be affected “until further notice,” says SEPTA, while Hyundai Rotem works with the agency to replace the failed sus-pension components. -Bill Chenevert SPR

Leigh Goldenberg and Ben Stango did not triumph in the game show’s Winner’s Circle, but they came home victorious nonetheless.
Review Staff Writer
hat would you do with $150,000? This was something that Leigh Goldenberg and Ben Stango were very seriously considering as they
were cast to appear on the most recent reboot of “The $100,000 Pyramid,” which debuted in late June on ABC with Michael Strahan hosting. Goldenberg, a Passyunk Square resident of nine years, has plans of applying her winnings to a trip to Italy this fall (plus a college fund nest egg for her 21-month-old daughter, Tilde). Stango, who’s lived with his fi ancée at 13th and Lombard streets for a couple years now, would’ve dropped his re-ward into a down payment on a house in the Italian Market, but he’ll gleefully pay for his pending wedding with his take-home.
SPR loves a game show contestant. We’ve profi led a “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” contestant and did our best to get to the scoop of “Wheel of Fortune” getting shot locally, among other articles. So when screenshots of production stills featuring Goldenberg and Stango, cheered on by local South Philadel-phians appeared on Facebook, we had to ask Goldenberg, the marketing director for Wash Cycle Laundry, about playing with Robin Roberts and Mario Montone.
It started for her at the co-working space where she works on South Broad Street in Center City, Industrious Philly, which is a national organization, and a spouse at Indus-trious casts for “Pyramid.”
“I saw it and I had grown up watching so many episodes of it – it had fallen out of my memory, so I applied,” the resident of the 1400 block of South Franklin Street said.
She fi lled out a one-page form and provid-ed some photos and a video, then auditioned
with a Skype round of play, and fi nally got the call to fi lm in New York in April just a couple weeks before stepping foot on set. In the meantime, she did a lot of practicing with a word association game she and her friends play, Celebrity.
“I joke that I’ve been training with this group of friends at parties for years and years,” she said.
The mother has had plenty of experience with a bit of performance due to a back-ground in theater arts (she also handles some press for PlayPenn, a playwright laboratory). But still, Montone, whom Goldenberg loved in “Sex and the City” (she Tweeted that “I got to be Charlotte York for the day”), had crucial advice – “just be calm.”
She came really close to winning $50,000 in the Winner’s Circle, but every clue that
contestants guess correctly adds up – she’s bringing $11,500 home. One of the cat-egories in the Winner’s Circle she and her partner fl ubbed is “Types of Boards.” She thought of surf, skate or directors, but Stra-han suggested “what if she’d said Ouija?”
“I have stayed awake many nights thinking about other boards. Earlier that day I’d bor-rowed an ironing board,” she recalled. With Roberts, she came so close to a trip to Turks and Caicos that the sports veteran and broad-caster playfully called out “Let’s go to the videotape! I think I had it!”
She was watching as her fellow Philadel-phian appeared on the show’s premiere in the second half.
“He had a great episode. His was so intense I fell on the couch watching it,” she remem-bered. “I was dying. He was awesome.”
STANGO SNATCHED $12,500 in the fi nal round, and he also won a Disney cruise to the Bahamas.
“I remember watching with my grand-mother when I was younger, it was defi nitely one of her favorites,” he remembers – this would’ve been around Ninth and Morris streets, where she still lives. “I bought some of the old board games on Amazon and my friend and I do a lot of game nights – it be-came ‘Pyramid Game’ night with a few of them.”
The Penn law and business graduate stu-dent formerly worked in the Mayor Nutter administration on anti-poverty strategies. He threw a huge viewing party with 115 friends at Fox & Hound, and they matched the room’s watchers of a Chile versus Argen-tina soccer game with “Pyramid” cheers. It’s not too late for a re-watch party with Gold-enberg’s crew at Devil’s Den, 1148 S. 11th St., Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. (the episode airs at 9:30 p.m.).
Stango played with Rosie O’Donnell and Kathy Najimy and, in the fi rst round, he and his opponent both attained perfect scores, but he fell a half-second short of entering the Winner’s Circle. He, too, has been hung up on “Things that Sting,” which he says he’s been “walking around muttering things that sting for the past couple weeks.” They’ll keep saving for a house somewhere between Broad and Eighth, between Morris and Fed-eral streets; it’ll just take a bit longer than they’d hoped.
“That was going to be the heart of our de-posit, it just adds another year or year-and-a-half to get to the right spot,” he said. SPR

“Autumn Revisited” holds extra meaning for Guinn – he took art classes there as a kid. The Quince Street native had a best friend in South Philly at Sixth and Fitzwa-ter streets, and he fondly remembers wan-dering south.
“I had gone to Fleisher as a kid and taken art classes – to paint a mural there was an honor,” he said, and cited a long-gone des-tination for him and his friend. “Brocco’s was this legendary deli or hoagie spot and in my memory, I don’t know if this could be true, but you could get a hoagie for a dollar.”
Where did the spark for this bright, neon mural come from?
“It came from a couple different places,” he began, and quickly arrived at the PSCA holiday happy hour at Garage Bar, 1231-33 E. Passyunk Ave. There he ran into PSCA beautifcation enthusiasts Sarah Anton and Andrew Emma. “The civic had identifi ed the block as something to make nicer and draw people down it – it’s a block that curves, and people have a lot of privacy back there and that leads them to do bad things. It’s a really unique spot in Philadel-phia. It’s not a straight street, which you don’t see very much of, and I don’t know of any other example.”
Theatre Exile’s, 1340 S. 13th St., pro-ducing artistic director, Deborah Block, had previously worked with light artist ex-traordinaire, Billiau.
“Sarah recommended talking to Deb Block, and she said I know this great guy and I think he’d be perfect for this – we got connected and got to work and it’s really a collaborative effort between Drew and I,” Guinn said.
BRIGHT GREENS, ORANGES and reds are but the tip of the iceberg when one wanders down Percy now, which has drawn tourists, PSCA’s garden, 1304 E. Passyunk Ave. visitors and street art enthusiasts since its unveiling in mid-June.
Did Emma or PSCA expect the retro-fl avored, ’80s-vibing art deco neon that Guinn and Billiau cooked up?
“No way, no way,” laughed Emma, a resident of the 1300 block of South Ninth Street and a Parks & Rec inspector spe-cializing in setting standards for parks, rec centers and playgrounds. “We were think-ing something simple like Christmas tree lights strung from house to house. This was totally unexpected. We have never heard of pliable LED lights so this was nothing we could even fathom.”
As Emma, a 2011 South Philly Review Difference Maker, said, he thought a Guinn
mural was cool enough, “not realizing that he had Drew in his back pocket.”
As Anton describes it, she, Emma and others from the civic have long hoped to turn Percy into an arts walk, and this may very well be just the beginning – they’re already trying to get more residents on board. “The vision is for the entire block to be a kind of arts walk, so we’ve been work-ing with new artists and trying to make it a really interesting destination and some-thing positive. Can we maybe get some lighting on the street and make it not such a dark corner?” they wondered. Guinn, it seems, knocked it out of the park.
“It’s been terrifi c. We’re so excited about how much press it’s been getting,” An-ton, a resident of the 900 block of Federal Street, a 12-year block resident and non-profi t administrator, said. “Sadly, there’s been a little bit of vandalism. Hopefully,
that’s over.” At the end of June, there was some van-
dalizing and tagging of the mural that Guinn said he was about to go fi x. When he and Billiau have gone to check in on it at night and “people were coming up and taking selfi es,” something the artist hadn’t really thought of, but young folks with smart phones are eating it up.
“We’ve amazingly not gotten any nega-tive experiences,” Emma said. Having Guinn and Billiau by their side made the PSCA’s mission to overhaul Percy Street a little easier – the residents who’d house the mural were more eager to help than be-fore when it was just an idea. “We’ll see if we can get the next wall with the offi cial thumbs up to keep it going.”
Anton called it the “perfect meeting of a project and artist, which is something that we can do to keep awareness going for opportunities in the neighborhood and constantly talking about it and listening to people with creative skills.”
“Drew and I really connected. We really saw eye-to-eye, and he saw things in a three-dimensional way,” Guinn said. “There’s a progression as you enter the street and you keep turning corners and discovering – it’s a journey. It piqued the interest in the ar-chitect in me – this is something that could really be this experience.”
The colors in his seasons murals are a bit muted but, he admitted, lately he’s come to embrace color and “just going for it.”
“I think of color as really important to my painting, and I kind of look at it as a sort of strength of mine,” he said. “Recent-ly I’ve sort of opened up with color, and, at Percy Street, we wanted to attract attention – so the colors being bright seemed like it made sense.” SPR

Review Ed itor
any people profess passion for promoting progress among our youths, but few fi nd the courage to counter confusion with convic-tion. Well aware that numerous individuals
have parted with plans to help youngsters because of a lack of solutions, Jona’e McAllister wants to number herself among those who can go the extra distance to secure change. Come Saturday, the bud-ding 26-year-old advocate will continue to compel herself and others to champion healthier lifestyle choices through DARE 2 B ME, her childhood obe-sity awareness fi tness expo set to occur at Center City’s Markward Playground.
“I’m very comfortable with trying to help people,” the resident of the 1800 block of Sigel Street said from the Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 740 S. 17th St., where she realized many girlhood-fostered athletic goals. “I believe I have a purpose to help to affect different communities, especially since there are so many people with so many needs.”
The Point Breeze inhabitant is presenting the four-hour gathering through Elite PROformance Fit, her nearly year-old venture to encourage the loss of pounds and the addition of aspirations. Partially the product of her having attended seminars about building one’s business, the occasion also stands as a result of her feeling that the youngest among us often succumb to idleness far too often for their fu-tures to seem fruitful.
“I don’t think that kids are dreaming enough any-
more,” McAllister, whose accompanying promo-tional material for the Markward-situated experi-ence says “The new ‘activity’ for children is just utilizing their fi ngers to control computerized games,” said. “If they are looking ahead, many of them are doing so without proper nutrition or a good sense of who they are. So many of them are trying to be other people instead of develop-ing their own personalities.”
In the “event mission” section of her adver-tisement, McAllister stresses that “Every child should have the chance to enjoy being a lively child, without the worries of sickness or physical restrictions due to weight.” Having been one such fortunate fi gure, she wishes to have a surplus of successes through her outreach, with Satur-day’s celebration to include a 3k run/walk; games, including basketball, jump rope, and hopscotch; vendors; information tables; and a raffl e, with a portion of proceeds going toward Philly Play, a program that likewise looks to diminish digits with re-gards to children’s weight. Hav-ing grown up in Point Breeze and being extremely familiar with the South of South neigh-borhood through her time at the recreation center, McAl-lister knows that those turfs in particular face a crisis with respect to keeping children not only content but also well-nourished.

contend that they cannot even call them-selves the former adjective if they have never been anywhere close to being the latter modifi er.
“I want to travel around this city and spread awareness so that we can come up with consistent answers,” McAllister said, echoing another piece of the event mis-sion’s explanation. “For me, Saturday will be the start of a change. I’m looking for a team to come together to make a differ-ence. I’m trying to take the steps neces-sary to save our youths.”
COMING FROM AN extremely gifted family, with brothers John and Jawan, who have also appeared in this publication for their athletic feats, completing the trio born to parents John and Rhonda, McAllister im-mediately expressed a penchant for being active, deeming dancing her initial de-sire at age 3. Adding soccer a year later, she reveled in representing the Anderson Monarchs, earning a travel team roster spot at age 6.
“I’m thrilled that my parents noticed my energetic side and encouraged me to see
what could come of it,” the appreciate in-dividual said of her lot. “As I grew older, we all had great family discussions about what we could achieve through athletics because, as I learned mostly through my mom, there was to be no quitting in our house.”
Opponents might have hoped her ma-triarch would have proven less convinc-ing, as her eventual exposure to running bred amazing successes, including ac-colades through the USA Track & Field National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships and the Pennsylvania In-terscholastic Athletic Association. Having acquired mental fortitude in her younger years through matriculation at Carver High School for Engineering and Science, she added humility in early adulthood, easily being able to count her blessings.
“There are plenty of people who will try to knock you down, fi guratively and liter-ally, but most of the time, they need your cooperation to be successful, and you just can’t give it,” McAllister said. “When I look at my life, I’m grateful for my oppor-tunities because they shape and will shape
what I want to accomplish in life.”Her talent and tenacity took her to Loui-
siana, where she ran on scholarship for Nicholls State University. Most of her track tenure yielded great joy, with senior year seeing a dip in her verve. A two-year hiatus from her calling commenced after graduation, with 2014 yielding the epiph-any that being a business owner would put considerable distance between her and doubt.
“Working for someone else is something that I’ve never imagined doing for a long time,” McAllister said, noting that she ini-tially looked for distinction as a personal trainer. “I think there is just more to learn about myself through this sort of life.”
Coaching has helped to quicken her pulse, too, with volunteer duties for the Lower Merion High School’ boys’ out-door track team amazing her last year and head coaching tasks with the Narberth-based Welsh Valley Middle School’s out-door campaign this year giving her more gusto. Those experiences, plus a cherished mentee/mentor relationship with Bumi Fernandez, the chief executive offi cer
of ODUNDE, Inc. and a South of South dweller, inspired McAllister to compre-hend even more how impressionable chil-dren can be, leading to a few lamentations on their infl uences and reactions to those individuals. With DARE 2 B ME, which will also serve as the name of her in-pro-cess non-profi t organization, the young woman, whose most advanced goal is the establishment of a sports academy through Elite PROformance Fit, hopes to continue to be a calming yet nonetheless convinc-ing messenger of change.
“It’s important to have purpose no mat-ter how old you are,” McAllister offered. “There are sacrifi ces involved in helping people to see that, and I’m going to con-tinue to make them.” SPR

uly 4th has passed. The sound of fi re-works left over from the celebration is thankfully dwindling. The sale of antacid tablets has likely surged to treat our di-
gestive systems ravaged by charred burgers cooked on backyard grills. The fl ag-waving parades and martial music are gone as city streets return to their summer silence.
The two major candidates for the presiden-cy of the United States, no doubt, will resume their debate over whether we must return to being great or whether we have been great right along. America the beautiful--America the scorned. Never has our national schizo-phrenia about our past and our future been more evident.
The dictionary defi nition of “great” is “the ability, quality or eminence considerably above average.” I think that when one ap-plies the adjective “great” to a nation, “emi-nence” is the key word in the defi nition. The argument between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton over whether America is still great is more than just political sloganeering. After all, if America is no longer great, it must be in decline. And polls show that more than 70 percent of Americans believe our nation is on the wrong track, an often used euphemism for decline. Yet the usual statistical barom-eters seem to indicate that America was in worse shape when Barack Obama took offi ce eight years ago than it is now. Is perception different from reality? Here is where words matter.
It seems to me that Trump and Clinton are using different defi nitions of greatness when they describe our nation’s current condition. The confusion is rooted in the difference in the words eminent and preeminent. I apolo-gize for going linguistic crazy on you, dear reader. I have never been mistaken for the late William Safi re, the columnist for the New York Times who would regularly edu-cate the public on why words matter. But if you have nothing better to do with your time, hang in there with me for a moment or two (or three or four).
For a nation to be great, it need only be eminent or prominent among nations. And that’s the defi nition that Clinton correctly uses when she claims that America has never lost its greatness. Indeed, few would argue that despite our considerable fl aws our nation is no longer prominent among nations. She argues that we are great despite our fl aws, but we need to do better. Whether one agrees with her or not, Clinton goes into consider-able detail as to how she plans to make us a
better nation.Trump, on the other hand, mistakenly de-
fi nes greatness as being preeminent or dom-inant among nations. This is not a casual mistake or merely being sloppy with his use of words. It is true we were once preeminent. We can even differ on just when that period occurred. I believe our preeminence spanned the years when we were the sole possessors of the atomic bomb. I would argue that we again became the preeminent power in the world upon the breakup of the Soviet Union. One can argue that we squandered our chance to make the world a better place, but that has no relevance to whether we have since been the dominant power.
The emergence of China as a superpower may have changed our status as the preemi-nent nation in the world. Russia, under Vladi-mir Putin, longs to regain its own perception of lost greatness. In so doing, Russia has shown that it is still capable of infl uencing world events, though not nearly as power-fully as the Soviet Union once did.
I have always believed that even as the dominant superpower, we overestimate how much we can infl uence world events. The world is too complicated. No nation has ei-ther the complete knowledge or ability to pre-vent catastrophe. The rise of radical Islamic terrorism is yet another factor in this respect. The recent exit by the United Kingdom from the European Union may lead to dramatic changes in the map of Europe, something over which we have no control.
This feeling of powerlessness is what fu-els the Trump candidacy as much if not more than the economic conditions in America. Trump promises to make America great again - to protect us by building a wall, banning Muslims from entering the country, the mass deporting of illegal immigrants, and retaliat-ing against China and other nations that are “taking advantage of us” in negotiations. All these promises are about giving us control again over our lives.
When Clinton argues that we have never not been great, she is literally correct. That’s why she can say that although we are great, we need to improve. But while the polls show that she is ahead, the Public actually believes that being great means that we should be pre-eminent and that being preeminent means that we can control our destiny. With that belief comes nostalgia for a time when we could control our own destiny. Thus the Pub-lic believes that we’re on the wrong track.
Although world events have eroded our dominance, we are still, by every reasonable measurement, a great nation. Trying to recap-ture a past that is no longer relevant is a fool’s mission. Looking for scapegoats does not be-fi t a great nation. That is why words matter in this presidential campaign of 2016. We can’t look ahead by merely looking behind us.
That is the false promise of Donald Trump. SPR

L ike many health-conscious South Philadelphians, Liann Amorose chooses to include a banana with her breakfast, but she laments that sweltering tempera-tures cause her beloved fruit to ripen faster. Wary of wasting the ever-nutritious
option, the resident of the 1800 block of South 17th Street beats the heat by making Chocolate Banana Bread.
In the note that accompanied her recipe, the Point Breeze denizen emphatically stated “This is our favorite!” Because of her enthusiasm for salvaging the potassium power-house when the mercury rises, one might feel inclined to wish for an oppressive day as more than just a reason for putting an air conditioner on full blast.

Restaurant Rev iewer
have often said it is easier to write a negative review than a positive one. When writing fi ne statements about décor, service, food, and pric-es, I don’t want to go over the top. Until now.
South Helm, which opened last month at 100 Morris St., is the best new restaurant of the year.
Chef/proprietors Kevin D’Egidio and Michael Griffi ths met while working at LaCroix. They opened Helm in Northern Liberties last year and now have brought their fresh ideas, ingredients, and fi ne service to South Philly.
The room has dove gray/blue walls with match-ing plates. Polished wood tables are set with white napkins. Adrian, our server, placed our white wine, a French Sauvignon Blanc, in an ice bucket that he set on the window sill. He kept a watchful eye on our glasses and fi lled them when necessary.
Dishes were listed on a giant black board. We had to leave our table several times to discuss the bill of fare.
Fresh local grilled asparagus ($12) were dressed up with pickled kohlrabi, along with walnut vin-egar, toasted walnuts, dehydrated olives, tangy chevre, herbs, and grated lemon zest, and placed on a pool of walnut puree.
Quail ($12) was a marvelous balance of fl avors and textures. The little bird was stuffed with sea-soned ground pork shoulder, and placed on a slaw made with hakurei, which is a type of turnip, gar-lic, salt, lemon zest, and charred scallions. Creamy oyster mushrooms were smoked and tossed with capers and fragrant fresh dill.
I fi rst tasted lobster fra diavlo at Luigi’s, a now-shuttered Italian restaurant in Atlantic City. I was a little girl and loved the spicy fl avors. At South Helm, the seafood fra diavlo ($14) is a master-piece in a bowl. It is spicy, but not hot. The squid, shrimp, mussels, and clams were steamed sepa-rately. Their natural fl avorful juices were blended with dry white wine, tomatoes, shallots, garlic, and chili fl akes. The seafood arrived in a bowl, topped with the sauce, chopped tomatoes, chickpeas, and basil. A crispy rice ball, akin to arancini, topped off the dish. I wished I had some bread to sop up the rich sauce. I used a spoon instead.
I love leeks. I savor the slightly sweet fl avor that they add to soups and stews. At South Helm ($12), D’Egidio made a confi t of leeks so they melted down to their sweet goodness. He used olive oil, salt, and garlic and prepared a tempura type bat-ter and fried them. He made a sherry vinegar gas-trique, added rich homemade Greek-style yogurt and aged Valley Shephard fi rm cheese, and topped the dish off with bitter greens. The mix of fl avors

ich Pagliarella savors simplicity and posits that being a people person helps him to prevail against any complication. Thanks to his gregarious demeanor and
business acumen, the happy humanist, along with wife Lisa, has enjoyed a 15-year stint as the owner of Ricci’s Hoagies, 1165 S. 11th St.
“I love the interactions with my custom-ers,” the 59-year-old said from the Passyunk Square treasure. “I’m in this vocation to serve people, so my natural desire to connect comes through every day.”
The proprietor, who lives right across the street from his shop, purchased the business in 2001, having helmed a 7-Eleven at 11th Street and Washington Avenue prior to that. This year fi nds him celebrating the 40th an-niversary of his journey as a goods provider, as he and his patriarch, Richard Sr., opened a convenience store in 1976. Buying his pres-ent site for a half million dollars, Pagliarella knew the location would offer ample occa-sions to sate his curious disposition and to peddle much-desired sandwiches.
“I’m all about giving people what they’ll enjoy over and over again,” he said of his ap-proach, which he vowed to persist in perfect-ing at least until he turns 70. “Simply put, I just love doing this.”
Pagliarella’s fi ve children have shared his affi nity for food as employees, with other ded-icated hires helping 450 sandwiches to meet eager stomachs each day. In keeping with his altruistic nature, the overseer has gladly orchestrated fundraisers for the families of fallen Philadelphia police offi cers and for the operations at schools, including Christopher Columbus Charter School, 1242 S. 13th St. and 916 Christian St., and Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. Not huge on self-promotion, he received a late-winter plug when Ricci’s claimed top honors in the hoagies section of The Ultimate Philly Sandwich Competition for its Old Fashioned
Italian Hoagie, which fi nished runner-up in the overall tournament to John’s Roast Pork, 14 E. Snyder Ave. Pride in that acco-lade and the offering’s comprehensive regard prompted Pagliarella to share his simple (just the way he likes it, remember?) recipe for the award winner.
“It wasn’t on the menu when we opened, but we modifi ed that because people enjoy the way the meats work together,” he said, noting that, just like in the store version, those who wish to make their own renditions at home should ponder the cheese component thoughtfully. “It speaks to my interest in not only staying relevant in this fi eld but also to my customer-comes-fi rst attitude. There are all of these experts out there giving advice on how to succeed. I’ll make it simple. Be nice, and listen.”

Ricci’s Hoagies’ Old Fashioned Italian Hoagie

and textures here was truly inspiring.The lamb dish ($12) reminded me of kibbe. A
leg of lamb was slow braised and ground in or-der to make the ragu and cooked with white wine, garlic, and shallots. After the perfect simmering of the ragu, it was formed into a ball, breaded with egg and crumbs and fried. Homemade bu-ratta, not the whipped version, but the fresh one made with heavenly mozzarella, was placed on top of the lamb. Herbs and lemon juice and small slices of Persian cucumbers fi nished the item. It reminded me of a dish I enjoyed in Israel years ago, without the cheese. Lamb and cucumbers are a fi ne culinary marriage.
Rhubarb is in season. This tart vegetable can be a component of sweet and savory dishes. The rhubarb gateau ($8) was a lovely tart made with pastry cream, chocolate cooked with lemon, and sugar. It was topped with a bit of Greek yogurt/rhubarb Chantilly cream. It was France on a plate.
A strawberry sweet that included meringue ($7) was listed on the menu. I instantly thought of a Pavlova. We received small sweet local berries that were macerated in sage, just-picked spice-bush, which is similar in fl avor to kaffi r, lime, and lemon juice. The berries were topped with whipped egg whites, which were not baked as a meringue would be, and topped with black pepper and a shortbread crumble.
South Helm’s menu is not online, and patrons do not receive a printed version. How did I re-member all the ingredients used to fashion each spectacular dish? I called D’Egidio to talk about our dinner.
South Helm is BYOB and closed Sundays and Mondays. Reservations are an absolute must.

HCANCER (June 21 to July 22): A partner or best friend is touchy and will be quick to take
offence. You might feel you have to tread lightly when with this person. Buried resentments will erupt in the future. The less you say now, the less the likelihood of resentment building. Pour your energy into helping others. Lucky number: 365.
aLEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): A strong desire to travel could prompt you to surf the Internet for
deals. You’re long overdue for a vacation. If you and your partner haven’t seen enough of each other lately, plan a relaxing break. You will both benefi t from the escape. Lucky number: 756.
sVIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Neither oppor-tunity nor money will be handed to you on a
plate. Prepare to fi ght for a new work assignment. Keep an eye on competitors. Take the initiative, and dare to be original. If you prove you have the skills and are willing to work hard, your fi nancial prospects will take a turn for the better. Lucky number: 602.
dLIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): A friend’s or partner’s strange actions are signs that things
aren’t right in their world, and the behaviors are affect-ing your emotions. You’re feeling pretty vulnerable and aren’t at your best. Take a practical approach to diffi cult emotional issues. Lucky number: 032.
fSCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): An unem-ployed friend will try to persuade you to take
the day off work. As you take your responsibilities seri-ously, the coaxing will be unsuccessful. There will be plenty of time to play later. Making a good impression on an authority fi gure is more important now. Lucky number: 358.
gSAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Lately, you have spent a lot of time with friends, but
constant company has drained your energy. Ditch your usual surroundings and routines. Escaping the troubles of daily life will be a relief. Besides, it can only be
through being on your own that you will fi nd emotional rejuvenation. Lucky number: 264.
hCAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): As you consider the future, don’t set impossible goals.

skills. To be a good leader, you must think about what’s best for the team. Listen, learn, and use your infl uence. You’ve never ducked issues and will face up to reality. You bring out the best in others by using positive rein-forcement. Lucky number: 824.
SPISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): People take you seriously. A colleague will reassure you he
or she is ready to offer support. Those who recently re-jected your ideas will realize their value. Such attitudes are more helpful now, which is a big relief. Having reli-able people around you is critical to your well-being. Lucky number: 253.
DARIES (March 21 to April 20): A sudden burst of temper will bring more than you bar-
gained for. Beware of a tendency to fi nd fault with everything you do. Although your perfectionist tenden-cies are admirable, they can sometimes thwart attempts to fi nish what you have started. Work already achieved may need revisions or a rewrite. Lucky number: 089.
FTAURUS (April 21 to May 20): You’re ready for a change in direction. You might transform
aspects of your closest relationships to accommodate your own or your partner’s future needs. Most people will be supportive. Negotiate and cooperate with those who aren’t. Sort out emotional commitments. Lucky number: 467.
GGEMINI (May 21 to June 20): You begin the week with good intentions. You believe people,
too, when they say they’re serious about their prom-ises, and thus you feel hurt and let down when someone goes back on his or her word. A group project could come to a halt due to a difference of opinion. Lucky number: 185. SPR

The EOM Angels eight-and-under softball club collected a crown in the Garden State.
Review Ed itor
side from being a wonderful word for youngsters to learn because of its polysyllabic identity, “account-ability” stands as a great concept for
them to master, too, as it breeds additional enthusiasm for exploring their potential. As the head coach of the eight-and-under soft-ball team at the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., Shawn Hatty encouraged his 11 roster members to invest more in their combined growth this spring, and the young ladies responded brilliantly all season, with their June 26 capturing of the Summer Classic in Shamong, N.J. a tes-tament to their tenacity.
“Based on the success that we had in the fall, I felt this would defi nitely be a good year for us,” the inhabitant of the 1900 block of South Second Street said of the Angels. “They defi nitely didn’t disappoint because they committed so much to becoming bet-ter individuals and even more outstanding teammates.”
His charges notched the title in the United Girls Softball Association tournament with a 17-16 victory over an Edgewater-situated club. As that foe had denied them the cham-pionship in the Summer Sizzler fi nal, the girls enjoyed exacting a bit of revenge but really reveled in building on their reputation as clutch performers.
“I think we play so well together because we live so close to one another and the other teams really don’t,” fi rst-year presence Madison Wray said in differentiating her Pennsport unit from the association’s South Jersey constituents. “We see each other all the time, so it’s easy to want to go out and win games together.”
The resident of the 200 block of Miffl in Street and her contemporaries entered the fi nal frame of the aforementioned title tilt with a huge lead, yet their opponents engi-neered a colossal comeback that left fi elder Darby Myers thwarted by making a brilliant game-ending catch. That grab and every other spectacular snare combined with each timely hit and great baserunning decision to make their campaign a collection of memo-ries that their proximity will only foster.
“We worked together so well,” Ryan Hatty
said of the sense of sacrifi ce that each con-test helped to reach maturation. “We really like being there for each other because that gives us an advantage.”
“We certainly do benefi t from having ev-eryone in a four-block radius,” her patriarch added. “It’s a family-oriented team, so that blend of talent and familiarity is what put us on top of the 8U world.”
THE ELDER HATTY likewise made EOM, which is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, the location for enhancing his admira-tion for the secondary benefi ts of sports. As an in-house instructor, he pondered last year whether the space could fi eld an eight-and-under travel team and has never looked back 16 months on.
“I thought ‘We can defi nitely do that,’” he
said, with the girls gaining great awareness of how to support one another, which Hatty contended prepared them for this year’s slate. “Initially, we were all about hugs and love. This year, those were still there, for sure, but I wanted to hold them more ac-countable, and that’s something that went over well with the parents.”
The Angels went perfect in 10 league contests, outscoring their adversaries by a ridiculous 130 runs. With championship status attained, they looked for more merit through the coach-pitch tournament play, and two-year contributor Lilah Moscinski noted that nothing intimidated them as they sought such renown.
“There was no pressure,” the bubbly dweller of the 100 block of McKean Street said to nods from her peers. “We were pretty
relaxed because we have so much fun to-gether.”
“We worked so hard for the title,” Hanna Trepts, another second-year star and a resi-dent of the 200 block of Pierce Street said, proudly announcing that she loves having opportunities to place trophies and medals on shelves as inspirations.
While such physical evidence of their prowess could serve as great promotional material, commissioner Shawn Brown holds that the best boon for the program from their recent run is witnessing the girls’ energetic natures helping to establish friendships and self-belief.
“Some kids, you need to draw that out of,” the resident of the 1900 block of South Second Street and 2015 South Philly Review Difference Maker said of succeeding as a motivator. “There are many intangibles that people throw around, and they often lump them together and say that great kids have ‘it,’ so I’m here to say that the girls in this program work hard and are determined, so for me, they definitely have ‘it’ in abun-dance.”
“I love that we’re making so many memo-ries at such a young age,” Alison Owens, of Front and McKean streets said, with her teammates fi ring off a number of bonding experiences, including gatherings at the Second Street Irish Society, 1937 S. Third St., and Moonshine Philly, 1825 E. Moya-mensing Ave. “I think everyone is excited about becoming better players and having more fun.”
Reflecting on the storybook season, Shawn Hatty, who also relied on Madelyn Bergmann, Quinn Cunningham, Ciela Er-milio, Lauren Gedraitis, and Maren Muller to achieve standout status, looks forward to pronouncing Pennsport pride to the masses, with 10-and-under tryouts set for July 11-13.
“We’ve had an incredible three seasons,” he said of the two 2015 journeys and this article’s chronicled campaign. “I’ve learned just as much from them as they’ve picked up from me, so we’re all anticipating what could come from more time together.” SPR
