Celebrating the Fourth of July The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday since 1941. Though that may seem like a long time for the country to wait to celebrate the independence it declared in 1776, the tradition of the Fourth of July, often referred to as Independence Day, dates back to the dawn of the American Revolution and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since then, July 4th has been recognized as the dawn of American independence, and celebrations that included fireworks and parades can be traced back to the 18th century. On July 4, 1777, the city of Philadelphia, which would become the first capital of the United States of America, held the first annual commemora-tion of American independence, and exactly one year later George Wash-ington ordered that all of his soldiers be offered double rations of rum to commemorate the anniversary. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday, and the day was actually declared a federal holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1870. However, that declaration did not grant a paid holiday to federal employees. That benefit came in 1941, which is why that year is now recognized as the first year when the Fourth of July officially became a federal holiday.•

For most Philadel-phians the summer is a time to kick back, relax and recreate. Whether it’s a lazy weekend down to the shore, a trip to the Poconos or a BBQ up the block, summer’s a carefree time of fun and sun. But for de-ployed American sol-diers around the world summer doesn’t carry the same luxuries as it does for civilians. Troops stationed in the Middle East know the summer as combat season—a time when enemy com-batants descend from the mountains and engage U.S. infantry in open combat. Unfortunately, that means the summer is casualty season. Re-grettably, it’s also a time when many soldiers are forgotten.

Christmas in July Delivers 1000 Care Packages to Troops

As a way of letting our hometown heroes know that they are constantly in our thoughts and prayers, the United Service Orga-nization of Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey, Liberty USO, hosted a special Christmas in July Send-off Event at Sugar-House Casino on Thurs., June 27. Throughout the program, Liberty USO and their partners col-lect, package and ship care packages to deployed servicemen. Although the event took place in the last week of June, the care packages are set to reach local Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware National Guard troops in Afghanistan in July. “This care package pro-gram allows our warriors to know that we have not forgotten,” Joe Brooks, President and COO of Liberty USO, said. “This is a morale boost from the

time those care packages arrive. If you ever doubt that you’re making a dif-ference, you have made difference today by col-lecting these care packag-es, assembling these care packages and paying for the postage to ship these care packages— you have made a difference.” For nearly seven de-cades, Liberty USO has served the needs of active duty, National Guard and reserve military per-sonnel and their fami-lies. The corporation is a bridge between the civilian population and service members that delivers support, comfort, morale and recreational activities to those in the military and their fami-lies. This was the fifth year that Liberty USO put on their Christmas in July program. According

to Brooks, Liberty USO sent 200 care packages af-ter the program’s first run a half decade ago. This year the number rose to 1,200 care packages. The care packages contain an assortment of different items including Wawa cof-fee, DVDs, games, cloth-ing and snacks. “A lot of these things are for folks during their downtime when they are not on patrol or com-manding men,” Brooks said. “These are things to help troops relax—this is a morale boosting thing.

SugarHouse’s care pack-ages carried a little Philly flare—the 100 care pack-ages contained pretzels, Tastykakes, beach balls and, of course, playing cards. “We are Philly’s casino—our customers, employees and our owner are all folks from Philly. What’s good for Philly is good for us,” Hamilton said. “We like to do things that are impor-tant to the folks who make us up and help us succeed

It’s mostly fun and games because that’s what we do here in the summer, so we want our deployed troops to have those moments and enjoy what we enjoy back home.” Nine donor organiza-tions each committed to collecting and packaging 100 care packages as part of the program as well as donating $1,000 each to cover the costs of shipping. Organizations included Independence Blue Cross, Drexel University, South Philadelphia High School and SugarHouse Casino. “We have a deep appre-ciation here at SugarHouse for the military,” Wendy Hamilton, General Man-

ager of SugarHouse, said. “A lot of us have military traditions in our families. We have owners, employees and guests who are serving or have served, so this is something that’s very im-portant to our family.” Hamilton added, “We love to do this. This has been the third year in a row that we’ve done [this event] and we are going to keep doing it. It’s a lot of fun and it’s the least we can do for the folks who are serving our country and protecting our way of life. If we can do this little thing that makes their day better that gives them a little more fortitude to keep up the fight, then we are happy to do it.”

so that goes into how we decide where we put out charitable dollars.” City Councilman Mark Squilla was at the event and was pleased to con-tinue to see SugarHouse actively give back to the community and maintain such a strong relationship with an organization such as Liberty USO. “It’s great to have Sug-arHouse and the USO and Joe Brooks involved in bringing attention to others that there are peo-ple still out there fighting for us in the military and giving us what we have here in our country,” The Councilman said. “And it’s a great private-public partnership when you have the SugarHouse Casino involved with the USO to not only bring awareness but to also bring goods and needs to our servicemen overseas.” The send-off event was kicked off by powerful opening remarks by Brooks where he explained how the challenges faced by sol-diers on a daily basis dwarf those faced by civilians on average summer days. “I was chatting to people today that they brave hor-rific traffic on I-95, the Schuylkill Expressway, Delaware Avenue, Christo-pher Columbus Boulevard, and that it’s a hot an humid day,” Brooks said. “Truly they make for inconvenient days but they do not make for hard days.” His voice tensed. “Hard days are occurring right now in Eastern Europe, the Horn of Africa, The Pacific and Southwest Asia. Traffic on I-95 is not an issue. A little extra baby power on your back when it is humid is not an issue. An issue is being away from your loved ones. An issue is not knowing whether you’re going to come back to your forward operating base from a mission that day. That is a challenge.” Brooks then went on to explain the importance of

the USO’s commitment to serving troops and sending these care packages over-seas. The sentiment was echoed by Col. Marc Fer-raro, Chief of Staff, Penn-sylvania National Guard, who also spoke at the event. Ferraro told stories about the USO’s kindness and hospitality while he was deployed in Iraq in the summer of 2009 as a part of the 56th Striker Bri-gade Combat Team. He would frequently visit USO cantinas and tents and constantly be greeted by a smiling face that was willing to help in anyway possible. Ferraro explained one story about the USO that happened at the very end of his deployment. “I was trying to redeploy back home and was delayed by five days—no offense to the Air Force—but I was stuck in Baghdad Interna-tional Airport with about six soldiers,” Ferraro said. “We were sleeping on the sidewalk each night wait-ing for the first plane that would come in. The USO was there manning a can-tina and 24 hours a day no matter whether you were going there to do a morale call or whatever, someone was there. When we would wake up in the middle of the night because of what-ever noise we heard, that person was still there and they always asked, ‘What do you need?’” As far as the care packages and the USO’s Christmas in July Program goes, Fer-raro said: “I think it’s a great program that they run. The soldiers when they get these care pack-ages overseas and having been on the receiving end of them, it really bright-ens their day. Coming in from a long day on the patrol having this when they come back is greatly appreciated.” Christmas in July was Liberty USO’s first care package event of the year. During a 45-day window in November/December the organization will be sending out another 10,000 care packages to soldiers stationed all over the world. From military hospitals in Germany to deployed troops in South West Asia, the USO will aim to cover every military member for the area deployed overseas and then some. “We’re here because we didn’t have the call to serve or step up to defend the opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit if happi-ness,” Brooks said. “There are troops that took an oath to do that for us and put themselves in harms way. I think it’s important for the civilian population to acknowledge that service and that sacrifice. These care packages are just a really small way of letting them know that we ap-preciate the fact that they volunteered to make our lives at home possible.” •

Spirit Newspapers.

My father’s family, origi-nally from Dusseldorf, Germany, settled in Mana-yunk before the Civil War, so I grew up hearing about this town of hills. Manayunk’s story really begins in 1683, when the area was nothing but wil-derness and Native Ameri-can trails. One of these well traveled trails went from Philadelphia to Nor-ristown. When the Dutch arrived, they were struck by the region’s beauty even if the area didn’t have a name. That soon changed when they began call-ing the river “Schuylkill,” or “hidden river.” When the English came, a man named Philip Lehman bought some land from William Penn. Other English families arrived, and then one day there was an esoteric re-ligious interlude with the arrival of a German mys-tic. This was no German Benedictine monk but a star-gazing fellow with an entourage of followers who studied alchemy, phi-losophy, astrology, scrip-ture, a precursor to today’s New Age. These celibate men even built their ver-sion of a monastery along the rocks of the Wissa-hickon, and formed the Tabernacle of the Mystic Brotherhood. The group, having no sustainable the-ology, soon fell apart. John Kelipus, the head mystic, died at the tender age of 35, an age when most people are just beginning

to get a handle on life. The year was 1708, when the United States wasn’t even a gleam in Father England’s eye. And who can forget Chief Teedyuscung, last of the Lenni Lenape chiefs, who took over Kelpius’ cave although not in a reverent way at all. He turned it into his personal saloon despite the fact that settlers called him “Honest John.” He was known as a compulsively li-tigious man, and historians describe him as “artful,” meaning perhaps that he manipulated people to do his will with grace. The poor Chief let his passion for drink get the best of him, and one day he disap-peared in a puff of smoke: his house burned down. Enter George Washington and his wooden false teeth, chased by the British. The two warring factions passed through Manayunk and many residents were inter-rogated, but there were no battles as there were in Germantown. The year 1769 saw a

change: it was the era of the long boats—601 feet long and 8 feet wide—and pointed at both ends like a Venice canal gondola. The area was beginning to develop a character and a personality, and yet it was still as nameless as an abandoned baby left on the steps of an orphanage. Some began calling the area Flat Rock (a name once used for the area around Lehigh Avenue and Richmond Streets). Residents were content with this name until 1824 when a Captain John Towers, builder of Mana-yunk’s first mill, decided that Flat Rock was too flat-sounding. “We need something more formidable,” he said. “There are 800 residents, after all, and we’ll never make an impact with the name Flat Rock.” Like almost everything formed by a committee, there were suggestions and counter suggestions, argu-ments and grandstanding. “Bridgewater” seemed too obvious a name, but Udo-ravia called to mind the glories of ancient Greece, even if it sounded odd and twisted the tongue in perverse directions. The stuffy scholar squir-rels of Academia loved the name, but soon at another town meeting the Native American word for river was suggested as a replacement. That name was ‘Manaiung,’ though somebody changed the letter ‘I’ to a ‘y’ and the ‘g’ to a ‘k’ and Manayunk was born. Fast forward to the mid 1980s: My great aunt Dora is in her room at Cathedral Village in Rox-borough going through her Manayunk scrapbook for the millionth time. She tells me that one day I will have the scrapbook despite the fact that it is already showing signs of wear. Ribbons and pho-tographs are falling out of the scrapbook, although—miraculously—the center seems to hold. She talks about Sevill Schofield, who arrived

BALLETX, Wilma The-ater, 265 S,Broad St. “X” marks the spot when it comes to contemporary ballet! BALLETX’s bril-liant season closes with the world premiere o f SUNSET, 0639 HOURS created with choreography by Bal-letX’s co-artistic director Matthew Neenan, music composed by New Zea-land’s Rosie Langabeer, sets by award winning Maiko Matsushima and costume design by Chris-tine Darch. This full length ballet is non-traditional and unlike anything BAL-LETX has done before. It is based on a true story from the 1930’s of a pilot who crossed the Pacific and made New Zealand’s first airmail delivery. On his dangerous voy-age home, he tragically perished. Neenan and Langabeer prepared for their creation by trav-eling throughout New Zealand, gathering in-formation about the courageous but doomed pilot, while researching Pacific and Maori cul-ture. Audiences should expect an unusual multi-dimensional experience. The ballet itself begins the moment one steps inside the Wilma and ends when we encounter a world filled with the spirit of the crash of the Samoan clipper. July 9 to 13th: 215.893.9456.

PENN’S LANDING PLAYHOUSE (inside the Independence Sea-port Museum), 211 S. Columbus Blvd. DE-F E N D I N G T H E CAVEMAN has been performed in almost ev-ery language and every country we know of. It’s hard to believe that when we first met the author, Rob Becker, he was per-forming “Cave Man” as a standup comedy routine and was deeply worried about the du-rability of his new play. We thought it was hi-

larious and insightful and told him so. This one man play is about men and women and how they misunderstand each other. Is it standup com-edy? - Or a lecture? - Or a therapy session? Well, it’s all of these wrapped up into one. Husbands and wives should see this one together, laugh their heads off and judge for themselves whether the caveman makes a dent in the war between the sex-es. This one man show is enacted by Vince Valen-tine. Incidentally, when it ran on Broadway in 1996, it became the longest run-ning one-man Broadway play in history. July 17 to August 24: 855.448.7469.

PEOPLE”S LIGHT & THEATRE COMPA-NY, 39 Conestoga Road, Malvern, Pa. Itamar Mo-ses, author of BACH AT LEIPZIG, uses a true event in which seven men

competed to be the succes-sor of the world’s greatest organist, who died sudden-ly- believe it or not- in the middle of a frenzied fugue. Pete Pryor directs this won-derful comedy using the talents of such worthies as David Ingram, Stephen Novelli, Greg Wood, Kevin

Bergen, Jabari Brisport and Danny Gardner. Readers with only a modest amount of mathematical talent will notice that we mentioned only six names! The sev-enth name is a surprise, upon which we can say no more, due to our allegiance to the drama critic’s code

of honor. What we can say is that the author has set the play up as if it were a fugue, each character rep-resents a theme and both the scenes and themes com-pete, and repeat, with many interesting and comical variations. Each character races desperately to his own

inevitable outcome. What a play! July 9 to August 10: 610.644.3500.

After forty-four years, Walter Pomroy is still devoted to helping “Jerry’s Kids”. I was going to give it up but I know that my mother, Mary Houseberg, would tell me not to. So, in memory of my Mother, I will continue doing it. Soon, it will be time to hit the sidewalk once again. Walter Pomroy, known as the Fishtown Good Samaritian, is holding his annual campaign to raise funds for the children with Muscular Dystrophy. I will be on the sidewalk of 319 E. Belgrade St. beginning August 8 and ending September 1. Please stop by and make a donation to a worthy cause. Once again I will be selling hot dogs and cans of soda. The cost for a hot dog and soda will be $2 this year. Please help me to help Jerry’s Kids. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could donate cans of soda and hot dogs to this cause. I would like to say thank you for all the help.

Thank you,Walter Pomroy

CIRCUS! SCIENCE UNDER THE BIG TOP. Step right up and be amazed as you see how science makes the circus possible. THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE. Limited Engagement through September 1, 2014.

The school I work for is generous enough to cover just over $3 worth of its employees’ lunches in the cafeteria, an almost un-heard of perk these days. Most of us staff and faculty members rack up a little debt per semester, as this amount usually only cov-ers a portion of what we eat daily. Typically, I owe about 60 dollars to cover the extra food I consume from January to the end of the school year – again, un-heard of considering most people who work in the city can spend just that much in a week buying lunch. Eating for two meant my lunch tray started to reflect the diet of a college football player. Instead of the usual protein accompa-nied by a side salad, I have been incorporating several pieces of fruit, a serving of milk, a granola bar or dev-iled egg, and maybe even a dessert. The cafeteria is unable to charge your ac-count once it reaches $100 and, at that point, you must pay your debt; let’s just say I reached that limit not once, but twice this past semester. The cafeteria closes with

the end of the school year, so I’m now on my own for lunches. I can’t bear to spend $60 a week buy-ing lunch, but it’s hard to ignore cravings I have for things I could find within a block radius of my office. This recipe for Thai chicken salad is one I’d seek out to break up the work day, but is way cheaper to make at home.

Thai Chicken SaladInspired by Pinch of Yum2 boneless skinless chicken breasts1 small head green or white cabbage, shredded2 large carrots, grated 1 mango, cubed ½ cup fresh cilantro

½ cup green onions½ cup chopped peanuts2 cloves garlic, minced1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce2 tablespoons soy sauce2 tablespoons vinegar2 tablespoons brown sugarJuice from one lime1 tablespoon sesame oil1 teaspoon fish sauce¼ cup peanut butter

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken breasts, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes. When the chicken is done, remove from heat, drain water, let cool, and shred with two forks. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, mango, cilantro, green on-

ions and peanuts. Top with chicken. In a smaller bowl, whisk together garlic, chili sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, sesame oil and fish sauce until all ingredients are combined. Whisk in peanut butter and water until smooth. Pour over salad and toss all ingre-dients together. There are several vendors I love to visit for hearty sal-ads in the city, but I reserve those trips for occasions when I want to treat myself. A salad like this would cost almost $10 elsewhere, but is significantly cheaper when made at home. Poaching the chicken breasts ensures they’re moist, and this cook-ing method is perfect for shredding the meat. The sweet mango and fresh ci-lantro and green onions add just as much flavor to the dish as the spicy, nutty dressing. A canvas of cab-bage stays crispy, even when the salad is eaten at lunch the next day. While I certainly miss the ease and reasonable price of the school cafeteria, I think I can handle fending for myself this summer. The city’s options for lunch are endless, but can be pricey. I’ll stick with packing this Thai chicken salad for the time being.•

Local Lenscontinued from page 3with his family in Mana-yunk in 1846. The Scho-fields were a mill family, and Sevill acquired a small yarn-producing mill, Mill Creek. After his father’s death, Sevill founded S & C Schofield with his brother Charles. Of course, there’s noth-ing like a good war to get the economy going. The Civil War turned Sevill into Manayunk’s lead-ing industrialist although he died at the height of his success in 1900. His brother Charles lived to see the beginning of the Great Depression. Aunt Dora was too young to remember the legacy of Ariel Cooley, a Phil-adelphia architect who proposed the idea of a Manayunk canal to regu-late the turbulent waters of the Schuylkill. Cooley proposed building a canal as well as a dam, and what better people to do this than bands of outcast Irish who wound up digging the canal by hand? Digging anything by hand is no pleasure at all, but in the end these immigrants from Tyrone County or Dublin did the job. In 1840, Edgar Allan Poe rafted on the Wissahickon Creek and called the area “one of the real Eden’s of the land.” Although the Valley Green Inn wouldn’t be built until 1850, before that time Poe almost cer-tainly availed himself of the Inn’s predecessor, a rundown hotel for wayfar-ers, vagabonds and profes-sional loafers. Aunt Dora’s scrapbook passed from hand to hand in Cathedral Village, very often with the photographs and a ribbon falling out. The ribbon was a snippet of the ribbon she snapped with scissors on December 17, 1928 at the dedication of the new Green Lane Bridge. The dedication was a mammoth event, complete with Mayor Harry Mackey, a Catholic Monsignor, the singing of patriotic songs and (for the kiddies) a moving picture show. Aunt Dora was not one to mince words when it came to telling “the truth,” so that’s why when she talked about Nickels Hall—a building my great grand-father built in 1906 at 4233 Main Street—she had no trouble touching on our family’s conflicts with neighbors. The big conflict was the dance hall controversy that pitted Catholics against Meth-odists. The Catholics (my family) held popular Satur-day night dances in Nickels Hall (sometimes with liba-tions) that attracted the ire of teetotaler Method-ists. Proper Methodists in those days were forbidden to dance—even the fox trot and the waltz were off limits—so a kind of

neighborhood social war ensued, despite the fact that Nickels Hall was also the town’s main gathering place for serious political meetings, banquets, wed-ding receptions and gath-erings of the Italian Social Club. Nickels Hall was also where Charles Schofield made his dire speech an-nouncing the closing of most of Manayunk’s mills to a stunned audience at the start of the Great De-pression. In a Philadelphia Inquirer article published in 1969, it was reported that a former mill hand (Joseph Mandarano) asked for a show of hands in Nickels Hall regarding the closure of the mills. The people voted to close the mills rather than work for two dollars a week. Manda-rano blamed the closure on greed. Many of Aunt Dora’s Manayunk stories con-cerned the trials and tribu-lations of growing up in a family of greengrocers. The American Stores Company at Baker and Green Lane was my great grandfather’s business. At the crack of dawn he would take his four sons to Dock Street in the family horse-drawn wagon to pick up produce for the store. One day on the return trip to Manayunk, one of his sons, John, fell from the wagon head first onto the cobblestone street. The head injury was so severe that John later became an epileptic. John’s epilepsy was so bad it forced him to withdraw from the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania Medical School. John’s travels into Center City were often accompanied by seizures, on Chestnut Street. To this day I cannot walk along Chestnut Street without thinking of my great uncle falling down in the street and then return-ing to Manayunk, a bloody mess. Aunt Dora took care of Uncle John until his death sometime in 1948. Sometime in the late 1970s Aunt Dora took me on a tour of Nickels Hall. In prior years she had only shown me the outside of the building, but this time we went inside where I saw stacks and stacks of old folding chairs, the same ones used during town

meetings and on Satur-day nights when the dance hall was open. Somewhere among them, of course, was Charles Schofield’s chair. In 1972, Manayunk was a ghost town, where the only thing missing was tumbleweed blowing in the streets. Businesses along Main Street were boarded up. And the businesses that were open didn’t fix up their properties. In the 1980s things improved somewhat although Manayunk shops still had problems attracting customers. When Mayor Frank Rizzo broke ground for the 1.4 million rehabilitation of the canal, he said, “The restoration will enable Manayunk to prosper.” Twenty-one cubic yards of silt and debris was dredged from the canal, which had become a liquid dumpster. The canal was once part of the much larger 100 mile Schuylkill Canal built in 1825 and used princi-pally to transport barges of anthracite coal to Phila-delphia. Unfortunately, Mayor Rizzo’s request to install gondolas in the canal went nowhere. The canal had been aban-doned in 1928, and had been allowed to rot to such a degree that many groups wanted to fill it in for use as a parking lot. In the 1980s another group wanted it to be used as the roadbed for a new expressway on the east side of the Schuylkill. The city was able to acquire federal help in the canal’s reconstruction. One mil-lion dollars came from the Economic Development Act of 1965, inspired by the programs of FDR’s New Deal. James Michener, at one time the most famous writer in the United States, wrote in a Holiday magazine feature in 1950 that West Manayunk, just across the river from Manayunk proper, was “Lower Merion Township’s dark closet.” A “dark closet,” of course conjured up a leper colo-ny, an undesirable place and a shanty town. Given Michener’s international reputation, West Mana-yunk schoolchildren were soon seen as social out-casts. In his article, Mich-ner wrote that along the

Lower Merion Schuylkill waterfront, a “somewhat impoverished citizenery lives clinging to the riv-er’s edge….the Cliffside town of West Manayunk perches Pittsburgh-like in the gloom.” Outraged by the insult, West Manayunkers met in town meetings and even arranged a debate between Michener and Dr. Albert C. Barnes of the Barnes Foundation. The cantankerous Dr. Barnes, himself an out-cast from Philadelphia blueblood society, was the first to put Michener in his place. It didn’t help that Barnes, who hated self styled intellectuals, was still annoyed that Michener had once im-personated a steelworker in order to be admitted to his museum, since he did not allow anyone he thought an intellectual to be admitted to his gallery. But the dye had been cast. In October of 1953, the West Manayunk Civic Association asked resi-dents to vote on the ex-isting name or one of four alternatives. Of the total 896 votes, 475 chose Belmont Hills while 269 favored the old name of West Manayunk. During one of our last “remembrance drives” through old Manayunk, Aunt Dora suddenly pulled over to the side of the road and parked the car. “What is she going to show me now?” I won-dered, standing in front of what looked like an open woodshed or garage, emp-ty except for a few tools, a can of gasoline and an old bicycle crammed into a corner. She stood there looking intently at the walls of the shed as if peeling off lay-ers of history. I could not see what she was seeing although I wanted very much to see what she was seeing. “This is the old family stable,” she finally said, “Where our horse Bess lived.” She’d never spoken about Bess before, so this was a first. She became very quiet after that, as if we had entered the sanctuary of a church. She repeated the name “Bess” again, and then we left.•
