Well, it’s that time of year again, and three words begin to find their way into conversations and commercials ev-

by Frank Stepnowski

It’s That Time of Year Again!erywhere. Three simple words that have the abil-ity to break Twitter and Facebook and Snapchat; three little words that, quite literally, change life as we know it: Back To School. This year, in the United States, we will send al-most 80 million students back to some 107,900+ institutions of learning. The staggering impact of those numbers is im-possible to comprehend, especially when you mul-tiply those 80,000,000 students by the parents, teachers, educational as-sistants, administrators, social workers, coaches, bus drivers, nurses, po-lice officers, counselors - the list goes on and on – needed to help them navigate the school year. We’re talking about bal-ance-of-power-shifting numbers of human be-ings here, folks. Heck, even Dunkin’ Donuts and STAPLES employ-ees know they’re going to have to do some extra cardio at the gym as we caffeinate madly to survive September and parents rush to fill school supply lists. (“Whaddya mean you don’t have Sharpie 12 gauge pens in chartreuse and teal and an 8-pock-et binder that turns into a Transformer?? They’re on the LIST darn it!”) Author’s note: When too much caffeine and the “school supplies” list stress collide, it’s some-thing to behold; and it ain’t pretty; I recom-

mend you stay at least 10 yards from the blast zone. Now that we’ve estab-lished the massive scope of the phenomena that is Back To School, what can I possibly offer you (within a 1,000 word count limit and a pub-lication deadline) that might be of use? Well, as any good writer will tell you, start with what you know. For me, BTS means a relentless onslaught of activity that lasts from late August until pumpkin spice every-thing hits the stores. I

have a daughter start-ing college, two sons in High School, a stepson in Middle School, all of whom play sports, volunteer, and work. Oh yeah, I also have around 120 students arriving to my High School English classes, and 400 fresh-men with whom I’ll need familiarize myself as their Dean of discipline. (No coaching this year, until they invent a 25 hour day and an 8 day week.) That being said, as the meteor of Back To School comes hurtling at your personal planet of reality, YOU probably

fall into one or more of the following categories:1. Student2. Parent/guardian of a student3. Educator of students4. Non-educator neigh-bors without kids who are loudly and publicly “just thrilled” to see oth-er people’s kids go back to school. Since I’ve already been given permission to write another article about parent/teacher relations, I’ll deal with the parents then, actu-ally BEING an educator is already taking up most of my waking hours.

(Please don’t start with the “I thought teachers didn’t “work” in the Summer” nonsense or I’ll have to drone strike your house,) and I already addressed #4 by feeding Spicy Doritos to my neighbors’ St. Bernard (he loves them but they give him terrible diarrhea.) That leaves #1 - the students. At the risk of losing fu-ture writing gigs with this publication, I’m go-ing to be brutally honest and right to the point. STUDENTS, I’m go-ing to assume that you’re

The day after Robin Williams was found dead, it seemed that the whole world went into mourn-ing. On Facebook, the ex-pressions of mourning clouded nearly every post. People expressed shock and dismay; some even brought President Obama into the mix when they quoted the president’s reaction to the funnyman’s suspected suicide by asphyxia: “He [Williams] arrived in our

lives as an alien — but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.” Of course, life being what it is — we are just here for a short time only — you’d think that we hu-mans would be prepared for the death and disap-pearance of any one of us at any time, not just the old and infirm. Yet each time a sudden death oc-curs with no perceptible warnings to prepare us for the shock, we are left stunned as if we half-be-lieved, in childlike Disney fashion, in a guaranteed number of years. The Facebook mourn-ing tributes, of course, expressed a lot of exposi-tory thoughts, with most hoping that the Oscar-winning comedian and actor was at last at peace.

Much of the shock ex-pressed in these tributes also mentioned Williams’s manner of death, suicide. These expressions of sor-row and shock seemed exaggerated, with the word tragic appearing over and over again in the posts as an indirectly

reference to that some-times unmentionable word, suicide. Most of the Facebook posters, in fact, seemed to be trying very hard not to level any sort of judgment against the five-star entertainer because he chose to end his own life.

Suicide, for the most part, is still an unmention-able act. Several months ago, I wrote about a sui-cide at Restaurant Nine-teen on the 19th floor of the Bellevue-Stratford building in Center City. A man who was having lunch with his wife left the table after she ex-cused herself to go the ladies room. When she returned, he was not at the table. He had gotten up and walked past the servers and diners and jumped out the window, landing near an iconic red telephone booth in the alley below. Confirm-ing these facts for a story I was as excruciating as going through dental im-plant surgery. Restaurant Nineteen had no com-ment other than to say that somebody had died

in front of the building. There was also no men-tion of the suicide in the press the next day, despite the fact that it happened during the lunch rush hour in broad daylight. A friend of mine in the dining room at the time remembers the hush that came over the staff the moment they realized that a customer had jumped. He told me that one of the servers, a woman, fainted on the spot. He added that Restaurant Nineteen management was quick to close ranks and usher everyone out. On Facebook, I was sur-prised to see that a good many people summed up Williams’s death this way: Yes, it was a very tragic thing, but ultimately it was his choice, and we have to respect that. This opinion was expressed as if suicide was just an-other valid life option—to smoke or not to smoke; do we cremate grandma or do we do a traditional burial? That choice was all somehow like checking a box on a governmental questionnaire. It implies that if you are in chronic pain with almost no hope of resolution, then ending it all is somehow justified. It’s your choice to jump in front of the El, swallow those two bottles of sleep-ing pills, or dart out into traffic in front of a Pepsi truck. We have to respect his choice. Worse still, is the fact that suicide as a valid life choice is becom-ing commonplace. But suicide as a choice didn’t hold much wa-ter with my 95-year-old great aunt, the last survi-vor among her circle of friends, and a lady who felt very much alone in her rooms at Roxbor-ough’s Cathedral Village. “Every depression, every misfortune,” she’d often say, “is like going through a tunnel. You go through it and come out the other end. You don’t want to end things when you’re still in the middle of the tunnel, because acting too soon would be the great-est tragedy.” While she would often joke about taking her own life, or having me push her into the Wissahickon Creek near the Valley Green Inn –“Do it when nobody is looking. Push me into the water and make sure I don’t come up for air,” she’d say on occasion--we both knew this scenario was pure fantasy, and purely the result of a depression that would hit

her (and then leave) at odd times. Did Robin Williams act too soon? Should he have waited and asked for more help from friends and family? Williams, they said, had a severe case of chronic depression. In between his hilarious stunts as a funnyman, he was in rehab for drug treatment earlier this summer. He also had heart surgery in 2009, but these mis-fortunes didn’t seem to kill his spirit. Psychiatric drugs, of course — Al-dous Huxley and The Doors Perception not-withstanding — some-times open the door to new personal demons, so it’s possible that the funnyman felt assaulted mentally and spiritual-ly like a character out of Doctor Faustus. How do you explain to friends and therapists alike a discom-bobulation of the spirit or a sense of alienation that might even be a new ex-perience for the sufferer? Williams may have been a funnyman onstage, but comedy is no magic elixir when it comes to warding off depression. An analyt-ical approach to depres-sion only works to let you see its structure, or where the depression might come from, but nullify-ing it (without drugs) may involve something deeper that’s outside the bound-aries of the average thera-pist. One has to ask: did the funnyman seek any spiritual solutions to his problems? Was his belief in God real? (He was a member of the Episcopal Church) Or did he forget the God-link and base all of his hope on psychiatry? I was first mesmerized by Williams in The Dead Poets Society, and then made sure to see all of his movies, especial-ly Mrs. Doubtfire and The Birdcage, both of which helped to spread toler-ance and understanding for gender-bending and same-sex relationships. I join my Facebook friends in saying that the funnyman known as Robin Williams had the diverse appeal of a rous-ing Shakespeare play and that he will be missed terribly. As Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom once wrote when addressing why suicide is not a so-lution to our problems, “There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still.” •

Freshly mowed grass, white end zone paint and Friday night lights—it’s not only the start of a new school year but the start of a new high school football season. Young men in our com-munities have put in hours of hard work and sweat over the spring and summer in preparation for the next few months of varsity action. But one team has been waiting even longer to compete at this level. Look out, Kensington’s coming. This fall will be the first time that the Kensington Tigers strap up their cleats and step onto the gridiron for true var-sity football. The Tigers have come a long way to get to this point. Coach Ellwood Erb, a Fishtown native, founded the team amid crushing budget cuts to the Philadelphia School District. The Ti-

Kensington Tigers Get Ready For True Varsity Football

gers played their first three seasons at the junior varsity level—three seasons that included their fair share of ups and downs, as well as the filming of a documen-tary titled Rise of the Tigers. Erb is enthusiastic that his team has finally made it to the city’s big stage, but knows there is plenty of work to be done. “It definitely feels like a personal goal has been achieved and that feels great, it’s a very satisfying feeling,” Erb said. “How-ever, we have a long way to go before we become one of city’s elite pro-grams. That will require lots of community support over the years.” Erb encourages com-munity members to come out to their games and show their support for his players. Some key play-ers to look of for include Chris Danztler, Clarence Thomas III, Khyree Wade McLean, Shannon Squire,

Jr., and Antonio San-chez. Whi l e Erb knows that excellence on the field will come gradu-ally, he asks for academic achievement, as well as personal responsibly and community pride, from of his players 24/7. Es-pecially now that his student athletes are com-peting at a varsity level, even more eyes will be on them. “We want our players to be active participants in the classroom achiev-ing at their highest lev-els while being model citizens as ambassadors of the football team,” said Erb, who works at Kensington CAPA as a teacher. Update: The Kens-ington Tigers played the first varsity game last Friday night against Delaware Valley. The Tigers lost the matchup 50-6. •

Hancock Rec Supports Autism and Special Needs Children

On Saturday, August 9, Hancock Recreation Center hosted their first annual Autism, and Chil-dren with Special Needs event. It was a huge suc-cess. They provided the children with hot dogs, burgers, water ice, and other goodies. The children also en-joyed sports stations that were setup for them, as well as a moon bounce. This event is the brain child of Coach Don Mason, his daughter Nikki Riggins, and Ms. Michelle Lebron, who have children with this condition. They wanted to diseminate, and share information with the community who may have a need for services and a need to network with others. The staff at Hancock Recreation Center was a willing partner. We would like to thank the Hancock Advisory Coun-cil, Mr. A. J. Thomson, Mr. Juan Ramos, and our wonderful community for all of their support.•

school is impertinent (look it up) to what you want to do for a liv-ing. YES, the amount of standardized testing you’re being subjected to is criminal (tell your parents to protest that stuff, a lot of States are doing so and winning!) YES, some teachers suck (but most them care about you like you’re their own child and – let’s be honest – you

suck sometimes, too.) But NO, none of these are excuses to not fully engage; school is about a heck of a lot more than knowing the value of x or how to write a persua-sive essay. I used to hate it when “adults” tried to scare me about the life in the “real world.” Any-body who watches the news or gets to know you knows that, despite your age, you are very much

in the real world. Take full advantage of school for what it is - practice for when YOU are the employee, (or employer) the payer of bills, elector of presidents, guardian of children, investor of money and INdepen-dent on those tax forms you should start learn-ing about now. This is an extended, dynamic, ever-evolving practice run for life, so I’m go-

ing to give you my top 3 things to remember. (Parents, feel free to cut, copy, reproduce, hang on refrigerators, etc.)1. Be polite. Smart people grow on trees, so do good athletes and beautiful people. None of that makes you spe-cial; (remember, 8 million students every year.) But if you WANT to be special, to really stand out and be memorable? Show up on

time, speak clearly and respectfully, and turn in work that represents you (and the people who sacrifice to send you to school) well. Punctual, respectful, hardworking: with that formula you‘ll keep a job even in this economy, so work on those things in school. …Oh, and pull your pants up, you look like an idiot.2. Do not be afraid to fail. Sadly, we’ve stig-matized failure like it’s a bad thing when, in fact, IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY LEARN. A c k n ow ledge your weaknesses, and work on improving them. There is nothing so obvious, annoying, (and unem-ployable) as a one trick pony that isn’t willing to learn new things. Never be afraid to admit you don’t know something and, provided that you learn from your mis-takes, embrace failure as your friend. Author’s note: I’m a teacher, and if I have a kid that fails something, asks for help, and then revises/re-takes the as-signment to show im-provement, I will work relentlessly with that kid to ensure that he/she passes because that kid WANTS it; and on that note…3 . Re s p e c t yo u r teachers. I hear kids complain all the time about “being disre-spected” by teachers that “don’t like them” but when we start talking, and the truth comes out, it usually involves a bad grade or a reprimand that was well deserved (and long overdue.) You know it, so grow up, practice accountability and – bet-ter yet - get to know your teachers and avoid prob-lems altogether. Please understand that we, like you, have A LOT more going on in our lives than just you, your work, and this class; that being said, most of us neglect our own families while we work to be better teach-ers for you, speaking of which… I’ve got a daughter to move into college tomor-row morning, so until next time, good luck with your journey Back To School.•

You’d be hard pressed to find me someone who doesn’t love brunch. When a Sunday hangover’s got you down, nothing is a better pick-me-up than good company, comfort food and a few Bloody Marys or Mimosas. Well, maybe more than a few…. The subsequent brunch buzz and food baby help nurse you to an early nap, re-energizing you for the week ahead. But for some-thing so universally loved, brunch is about to get a little different (and in some ways polarizing) in Fishtown. Christian Mora and chef Brian Oliveira are opening Girard, a 70-seat, reserva-tion only, BYO brasse-rie and bruncherie that’s set to open in September on Girard and Marlboro Streets. What sets Girard apart from other dining establishments is that Mora and Oliveira will be pay-ing their workers a “liv-ing wage” of about $11 an hour, providing health insurance, offering paid sick days and profit shar-ing as part of employee compensation. The catch? Girard will not encourage its customers to tip their servers. “A tip should be left for exceptional service, not part of someone’s salary,

and that’s what it has be-come,” Mora said. “If one of our guys goes above and beyond and you have a great time and you want to leave him a few bucks extra, great, I’m sure he’ll appreciate that. But that doesn’t mean that because he brought out a plate and

Girard will be on the corner of Girard and Marlboro Streets in Fishtown. The restaurant will provide employees with “living wages” instead of accepting tips from customers. In addition to the European-style wages, Mora and Oliveira are offering employees paid sick days, health care and entry to a profit sharing system. (Otto Architects LLC)

put it in front of you that you have to pay him for it. That should be on us.” This approached has caused some stir in the local service industry, but Mora and Oliveira believe that their business model is ideal for the right kind of people and will promote

an environment where employees care about de-

livering the highest quality of service and hospitality

to customers. “From what we have heard, there is a lot of interest from people who want to come in and work,” Mora said. “Start-ing off, it won’t be the highest paying job but it will be fun, you will enjoy it… you might sacrifice a little bit of pay right now for a long-term job with profit sharing. Anything over our projected sales and what we need to cover costs is profit that will be evenly distributed between the staff. So the dishwasher gets the same as the sous chef for a total team ef-fort.” Mora and Oliveira met in 2011 while working at Parc in Rittenhouse. Mora still works as a server there while Oliveira, a Culi-nary Institute of America graduate, manages Honest Tom’s Taco Shop in West Philly while doing soups and stocks on the side. The two always had aspirations to create their own concept for a restaurant and settled on Girard after serendipi-tously stumbling upon a

plot of land that also hap-pens to be the side lot of Mora’s current apartment. “Even at my first job at Planet Hollywood 14 years ago, I knew I wanted to do my own thing with a res-taurant and the creativity behind it,” Mora said. “I’ve always been looking for the right concept, at the right time, with the right people, and everything started coming to a head last year. Who was the right person to do something new and progressive with? Brian was the only phone call I made.” The concept that the two ultimately settled on became Girard—a Euro-pean-inspired eatery that will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. Oliveira’s menu will focus on simple and beloved dishes that pay at-tention to smaller details. In the chef ’s opinion, these finer points are what truly make a dish. “We want to keep it ap-proachable,” the chef said. “I’m all about simple, do-ing very little to the food, keeping it fresh. When you keep the food simple, I’ve noticed that people really enjoy it a lot more. It’s all about the technique, at-tention to detail and the ingredients we are using and sourcing. ‘Seasonal standards’ is one of the ta-

glines we are using— dish-es that people are familiar with and love already. We are not reinventing them, just paying attention to how they are prepared and making sure that every-thing is made with basic culinary fundamentals and keeping it truly seasonal.” This includes a traditional brunch menu, a “liquid breakfast” of liquefied fruits and vegetables and rotating roti de jour (roast of the day) items that will feature Denver lamb ribs on Tues., roasted cauliflow-er on Wed., crown roast of pork on Thurs., whole roasted fish on Fri., ribeye au jus on Sat., and venison ossobucco on Sunday. Girard will also be serving coffee that will be prepared only three ways—coffee, espresso or espresso with milk. This modest coffee selection is in reaction to the double-shot Frappuc-cinos, mocha macchiatos and skinny lattes that many coffee drinkers are order-ing today. Instead, Girard is mimicking what some of the more progressive coffee houses in Australia are doing, serving single origin coffee coming from the same plot of land on the same farm. “Think of what’s happen-ing with the craft brewer-ies around here, well the same is happening with coffee and we are going to bring that to Fishtown,” Mora said. “Very thought out recipes, meticulous processes that will make

the coffee consistent every time with the best products using the best machinery. Every cup of coffee will be individually brewed so it’s not just a big batch. As far as espresso, we set out to find the perfect mix of espresso and milk and we’ve found it.” Despite the simple menu that Girard is going for, Oliveira stresses that there will be enough variation to keep everyone pleased. And that’s what Oliveira and Mora are striving for more than anything—pleasing their clientele and delivering the high qualities of hospitality and service possible. “We are striving for the highest level of hospitality and at the same time com-bining it with an absolutely fun place, a place were you come, there’s good energy, you feel at home and are going to be attended to the utmost—a place where every detail is taken care of,” Mora said. “We are shooting for the kind of service you’d expect for $100 a person with a very approachable price tag and with a neighborhood, family vibe that won’t be stuffy.” “To meet or hopefully exceed expectations you have to find out what they are,” Oliveira said. “Ev-eryone has a reason for being there, whether a celebration or being away on business. You need to find that out before you can even meet their expecta-

tion and then exceed them. We are going to try to do that both with our food and service. It’s going to be fun

fine-dining.” Look out for Girard the fall, but don’t forget to get a reservation first. In the

meantime you can see the restaurant’s menu on their website, www.girardongi-rard.com.•

Miss Know-It-All’s Quizzo Challenge:

Speaking Up for St. Laurentius

I think that Rev. John Sibel is here to close St. Laurentius parish and I would not be surprised Holy Name parish too. One month and one week after coming to Fishtown, he told St. Laurentius parishioners that he was knock-ing down St. Laurentius church, without talking to the parishioners of St. Laurentius. We want our time to talk to Rev. Sibel. I also believe what we say will come on deaf ears. Rev. Sibel is only listening to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. St. Laurentius asked the Archdiocese for a loan to fix our church but we were denied. With the selling of St. Laurentius convent and the money we col-lected in fundraisers, we got a good start on the money we need to fix St. Laurentius church. We need time to collect more money and for the Archdiocese to listen to us, the people of Fishtown and St. Laurentius.

Garrison’s Grocery has chosen the name Liberty for the name of our loyalty card because it is the first word in American consciousness. It was first made to mean something here in America. Liberty achieved independence and it made a nation. It was the word with which the American colonies electrified the world. It had been a dream despaired of elsewhere. Here it was realized. The soldiers of Rochambeau and the sailors of De Grasse and the soldiers of Burgoyne and Cornwallis went back to Europe to tell that Liberty was a fact in a new land and people everywhere have been freer since that day. This nation owes its existence to the desire for Liberty and it will maintain itself by that desire. So we chose Liberty for the name of the new loyalty card, Liberty because it is the last thing the true American possesses even if he is stripped of everything else.

Liberty is the innate, inherent principle of American life.

During the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, we run programs in more than 60 facilities and over 15 public parks. Last year, more than 1,700 children played soccer with us, and this year that number should exceed 3,000! This Summer we are offering more park programs than ever before.

We are a curriculum-based program that incorporates character development by using a “word of the day” at each session, such as honesty and sharing.

Mercy Health System, Polaris Health Directions Partner

to Launch New Distress Management Program

for Cancer Patients Mercy Health System is setting a new standard for excellence in cancer care with its implementation of a comprehensive psychoso-cial distress management program for patients. About 20 to 40 percent of cancer patients experi-ence a concerning level of distress, which can inter-fere with their treatment and impact their quality of life. Unfortunately, the intense demands of cancer treatment can mean that a patient’s distress may not be as obvious to the team of physicians and staff car-ing for them. T h i s s u m m e r, Po -laris Health Directions launched the implementa-tion of the Polaris Oncol-ogy Distress Management System at Mercy Fitzger-ald, Mercy Philadelphia, Mercy Suburban and Nazareth Hospitals. The system will help enhance the holistic care that Mercy provides to each cancer pa-tient, by addressing not just their physical health, but emotional health as well. “We strive to customize a treatment plan for each patient that addresses their medical history, symptoms, feelings and concerns,” said Rene Rothstein-Ru-bin, MD, FACP of Mercy Oncology and a clinical associate professor of medicine in the Division of Internal Medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine. “The Polaris Oncology Distress Man-agement System will help bring us to the next level of providing person-centered care by helping to identify patients who may need additional services, such as pain management, pal-liative care, spiritual care, mental health services, and social work.” The cloud-based Polaris Oncology is a scientifi-cally validated platform that screens for psycho-social distress, assesses its severity, generates referrals and individualized reports, and monitors the patient throughout the course of treatment. “Distress assessment is a unique tool that adds a dimension of care for our patients, allowing us to understand their experi-ence from a whole-person perspective. By allowing us to get the best sense of how cancer diagnosis and treat-ment can affect a patient, this added dimension helps us identify coping and sup-port systems a patient has in place and how well they are working. This knowl-edge can help us link pa-tients with appropriate in-terventions, optimizing the care we can provide,” said Lewis J. Rose, MD, FACP, of Mercy Hematology/

Oncology, medical direc-tor of Medical Oncology at Nazareth Hospital, and clinical associate professor of Medical Oncology, Di-vision of Regional Cancer Care, Kimmel Cancer Center, Thomas Jefferson University. “Polaris Oncology offers tremendous value to the cancer treatment centers who use the system and to the patients they care for,” said Dr. Grant Gris-som, chief of research and one of the developers of the system. “Cancer care teams have the support they need to cost effectively navigate systematic as-sessment of psychosocial distress, and patients have the assurance that their concerns will be heard and addressed.” Polaris Oncology was de-veloped with funding from the National Institutes of Health, and developed in collaboration with the Uni-versity of Massachusetts Medical School, Cooper Cancer Institute, the Rob-ert Wood Johnson Medi-cal School, and the MD Anderson Cancer Center. It seamlessly integrates into clinical practices, in-terfaces with electronic health record systems, and supports coordination be-tween multidisciplinary cancer care team mem-bers. The nationally accred-ited Mercy Cancer Care programs at Mercy Health System offer a comprehen-sive array of person-cen-tered services to prevent, diagnose and treat every form of cancer. Physician specialists, oncology nurse navigators and specially trained staff provide a mul-tidisciplinary approach to care that includes access to advanced diagnostics and cancer treatment technolo-gies, support services, Spir-itual Counseling, clinical trials and genetic testing and counseling.

by Casey Ann Beck

Our first few weeks of parenthood left not only our hearts full, but our fridge and pantry stocked, as well. Joey’s many visitors brought everything from baby gifts to casseroles and snacks with them. At a time when we couldn’t imagine leaving the house let alone attempt to go food shopping, we found ourselves comfortable and well fed thanks to our loved ones. When I finally used the kitchen for the first time, our supply of pre-prepared meals was dwindling, and I had to whip something up with the little food we had left in the cabinets. A can of chickpeas, cherry tomatoes and cucumber splashed with a dose of vinaigrette, salt, and pep-per made for a quick and sufficient side dish to sea-soned chicken breast. Still, I felt like I could have made it into something more substantial had I been

CLEAN PLATE: Greek Salsa

equipped with additional ingredients. A red onion, some olives, and a few sprigs of fresh oregano later, I came up with a light salsa inspired by Greek ingredients. Sprinkled with feta cheese and topped on a toasted pita, it’s the perfect light appetizer or side dish for these last weeks of summer weather.

Greek Salsa1 package of pita bread5 Roma tomatoes, de-seeded and diced2 small cucumbers, de-seeded and diced

1/3 cup of unpitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped1 small red onion, finely diced2 tablespoons garlic, minced1 can of chickpeas, drainedJuice from one large lemon2 tablespoons red wine vinegar1 ½ tablespoons fresh oreganoSalt and pepper, to taste1-6 ounce container of feta cheese

Preheat oven to 350 de-

grees. Cut pita into wedges and scatter on a baking sheet. Bake for approxi-mately 10 minutes, until toasted. In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, onion, garlic and chickpeas. Add lemon juice, vinegar, oreg-ano, salt and pepper and mix. Mix in or top with feta, to your liking. Serve with toasted pita chips.

The ingredients in this dish were inspired by those found on the hummus plat-ter at one of my favorite restaurants. Tart tomatoes and cool, crunchy cucum-bers are complemented by other ingredients that are stronger in flavor, like red onion and briny ol-ives. Chickpeas and feta give the mélange of veg-etables Greek flair, and the

brightness of lemon juice combined with tangy red wine vinegar create a light, flavorful dressing. Season the dish to your liking with salt, pepper and oregano; just a side note: I feel the herb can go from balanced to overpowering very eas-ily. Scooped with a toasted pita, this was a great dish with which to close out the summer of 2014. •

Got a picture of you I carry in my heartI close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark.

Got a memory of you I carry in my soulI wrap it close around me when the nights are cold.

If you ask me how I am doing, I’d say just fine, But the truth is if you could read my mind

Not a second goes by that I don’t miss and think of you.

After all this time you’re still with me. I can’t believe it has been ten years

since you went to heaven.You will live in my heart forever.

Love, Susan

This stunning boy is Domino, a one-of-a-kind playful black & white terri-er mix. Domino is a young adult (3-5 years old) and he was brought into the shel-ter as a stray. Domino has quite an effect on everyone at the shelter. Some may call it none other than the “domino effect”, because you meet him and instantly fall in love ... then you show him to other people who also fall in love, and so on, and so on! Besides being outrageously handsome,

Domino is a good listener and will follow commands and sit for treats. He walks well on the leash and is easy to walk, so don’t let his medium size fool you! When he’s not enjoying his walks outside, our sweet Domino likes to lean into his human for some love and pets. Come and meet

him today to continue the domino effect! If you have dogs of your own, you’ll need to bring at least one in to meet any potential dogs and make sure there is no major per-sonality clash. Please also bring proof that you are allowed dogs/cats at your home if you rent. Domino is located at ACCT -- 111 W. Hunting Park Ave, Phila., PA 19140 Phone: 267-385-3800 (ask for the Lifesaving Depart-ment!) Email: [email protected]. More about Domino: Pet ID: A23567793 • Primary colors: Black with White markings • Coat length: Short. If you have any ques-tions about Domino, please email [email protected].•
