he final breaths from an old friend will occur Sunday when Kmart, 424 W. Oregon Ave., ends its 30year relationship with discount-hungry consumers. Come 9 p.m., the Whitman Plaza store will close its doors after having endured years of declining sales. It has marked its march to oblivion with massive sales that promise to leave behind only bare walls.
Monday’s early afternoon shoppers coveted batteries, cereal, hygiene products and soup. Ample racks contained an assortment of shirts and makeup, while eight tables held shoes looking for use. Despite yearning for many items, Jill Schoorel purchased only one from the store, whose square footage exceeds 84,000, thus making it a “Big Kmart.” “The deals will be better this weekend, but I could not take a chance,” the resident of the 900 block of Jackson Street said after exiting with The Beatles: Rock Band, a
music video game that cost $83.99 — 40 percent off its original $139.99 tag. Four copies lay on the floor when Schoorel arrived, so she wanted to buy one more Christmas present for her son Thomas before he heads back to college. “I have to confess that I’ll play it, too,” she said before catching SEPTA’s 57 bus to Center City.

To the Editor: How quick the mayor stated that tickets would be issued for pavements not shoveled and salted. Citizens were to shovel six hours after the snowfall and leave a 36-inch wide path on their pavements. I and others shoveled more than once using salt, but waited for a snow plow that never came. I’d like to point out that on small side streets, our sidewalks don’t measure 36-inches wide. Would we still be ticketed? As for the snow plow, I called City Hall on [Dec. 28] asking for plow service as I was waiting for delivery of a hospital bed for my husband. When the supply came on Wednesday, it left because of the mounds of snow in the street. Last year, a woman had a heart attack and was wheeled down the street for two blocks because of a non-plowed street. By the way, thanks City Hall for the plow. If my husband were coming home from the hospital, I guess he’d have to sleep on the sofa or the floor. Can citizens give tickets to the City for services promised but not delivered? Theresa Strate South Philadelphia
Another near miss To the Editor: We, as members of the Philadelphia Firefighter/Medic Union Local 22, have been warning the public about the dangers of the mayor and commissioner’s brownout policy, which closes fire companies on a daily basis with no rhyme or reason as to which ones will be closed. On Dec. 28, a fire happened at Fifth Street and Washington Avenue. On this day, as part of the mayor’s fire protection reduction, Engine 3, located at Washington and Moyamensing avenues, was closed. It is located right down the street and could have made a difference. There was a firefighter in the firehouse that could see the blaze from the front door of the station, but he could only watch as the blaze grew in size and potential for catastrophe. Other fire trucks coming from further away had to battle this fire after it had reached the easily controllable stage. There is a day care located directly next door with 50 kids and 20 adults inside, and this was the time of day when they were being picked up by
their parents. The staff of the Young Hearts Learning Center [520 Washington Ave.] did an outstanding job in evacuating the children, but we, as emergency responders, know in many circumstances the confusion created by fire can leave one small detail missed. That is why you pay for a fully-staffed professional fire department. There are layers of responsibility that you have benefited from in the past. That was before the drastic cuts to public safety we have now. As we have said before, a disaster should not be the catalyst to restore the proper protection you should be receiving and pay for. Again the citizens were lucky and no death or serious injury occurred. We do not want to arrive at a scene of any fire death and inform you this did not have to happen. We are trying to be proactive to restore the services that are needed by you and us. Call your councilperson and demand the services and protection you need, pay for and deserve. Bill Gault President Philadelphia Firefighters Union Local 22
America doesn’t have it made To the Editor: Made in America is becoming a thing of the past and a distant memory. The Internet and globalization are not the exclusive culprits. How could presidents of the past and former members of Congress have let it all slip away? And what is our current president and Congressional members doing about it besides bailing out international companies and creating short-term stimulus programs? Is this President Obama’s vision of investing in America? The majority of products we purchase in America are made in China — a communist country! Hundreds of thousands have died fighting against the global spread of communism just a generation or two ago. What was the point? Look at us now consuming all their imports. Walmart might as well display a sign that reads, “Welcome to the Republic of China.” When China becomes the leading economic power in the world, don’t act surprised. America is dangerously
leveraged with too much debt and too much importing. Besides large deficits as a result of a decade of war and the greatest recession since the Great Depression, what else will America have a reputation for creating in the 21st century? What happened to the enthusiasm that was created by the generation that participated in the “race to the moon?” How come this intoxicating energy of thinking big did not transfer over to generations that followed on a mass appeal? Are there more American flags made outside the country than in it? Whatever happened to made in America? Jason Kaye Northeast Philadelphia

t age 17, I bought my first car, an 1982 Honda Civic, which did little to elevate my semi-geek status while a high school junior in 1997. It was cheap — I must have paid no more than $500 for it — and it did the one thing I needed it to: It drove, barely. I dumped some money tricking it out with a silver paint job and stereo system, speakers included, but should have saved my funds. Every three months, it needed a repair — first the brakes went, then the ignition, then the alternator, then the battery, then the axle, then the thingamajig that connects the doohickey to the whatchamacallit. By the time the fuel and temperature gauges stopped working — I ran out of gas on a busy highway in North Jersey after miscalculating the number of miles I was

pper Darby detectives detained one man, but his alleged drunken neighbor ended up wounded and in police custody. Upper Darby Police Department Detectives Brad Ross and Bill Sminkey arrested 32-year-old William Chestnut for two protection from abuse orders at his home on the 300 block of Winton Street at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 30 for allegedly threatening his girlfriend — formerly of Upper Darby — on Facebook, Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. During the arrest, neighbor James Moore, 33, is believed to have confronted the detectives, Chitwood said. “Moore apparently was intoxicated and demanded to know who the detectives were and where they were taking his friend,” Chitwood said. Detectives identified themselves, but Moore allegedly stood in front of their unmarked police auto until Ross, who was behind the wheel, turned on the vehicle’s lights and sirens, Chitwood said. The police were traveling west on Jackson Street when a pickup truck — suspposedly containing Moore and his pit bull mix — allegedly rear-ended their automobile at Seventh Street and continued to do so at each red light and stop sign, Chitwood said. However, at Broad Street and Oregon Avenue, Moore allegedly sideswiped the cruiser spinning it and pinning the driver’s side door, Chitwood said. The officers crawled out of the passenger’s side and retrieved Chestnut from the back. To prevent Moore from striking the vehicle again, officers fired about 10 shots, with one striking Moore’s left hand. “Unfortunately some of the shots that were fired at Moore hit the dog and killed the dog,” Chitwood said. Moore is believed to have fled the scene. Upon Philadelphia police responding, he returned and is believed to have shouted at the Upper Darby officers, Chitwood said. Moore was arrested near Broad and Shunk streets and was treated for his wound at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He was charged with two counts of resisting arrest; one count of driving under the influence, aggravated assault by a ve-
hicle while driving under the influence, fleeing or attempting to elude an officer; and related offenses, according to court records. Chestnut was unharmed while the detectives were treated at Delaware County Memorial Hospital for neck and back injuries and were expected to return to work yesterday.
Unlawful withdrawal The FBI and police are working to identify a supposedly local man believed to be responsible for a trio of robberies. In the latest, a man entered TruMark Financial Credit Union, 1931 S. Broad St., at 10:52 a.m. Jan. 3 and handed a teller a demand note that read, “give me the money. I have a gun. No dye packs,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The teller handed Surveillance over $600, and the note photo before he fled the bank and headed north on South Broad. The prior heist occurred at Sovereign Bank, 2701 S, 10th St., 1:02 p.m. New Year’s Eve when the man handed a teller a note that read, “remain calm. I have a gun. Give me your top drawer,” Tolliver said. Without a dye pack or tracking device, the teller handed the man $2,700 that he placed in a light-colored bag he was carrying over his shoulder. He also requested his demand note back before fleeing the bank in an unknown direction. The man is also believed to be responsible for the Dec. 27 morning robbery at Wachovia Bank, 2227 S. Broad St., where about $350 was taken, Tolliver said. The man was described as black, age 30 to mid-40s and 5-foot-10 to 6 foot with a medium build. He was clean-shaven and donning a black Phillies baseball cap, a dark hoody over a tan heavy coat and lightcolored jeans in the Friday robbery while he had a thin mustache and was wearing a black knit ski cap, a black heavy jacket and jeans during Monday’s crime.

HOLIDAY HELPERS continued from page 1
ily of the 2500 block of Ellsworth Street Dec. 22. Consisting of Christina Jones, her boyfriend Dominicke Moore and their three children, the quintet lost its home to a Thanksgiving Day electrical fire. The blaze claimed the family’s possessions, necessitating a move across the street to live with Jones’s mother, also named Christina. A sunny morning served as a pleasant omen for the family two weeks ago, as Rev. Bonnie Camarda, director of partnerships for the Salvation Army, and Citizens personnel donning elf caps unloaded gifts for Jones, Moore, 15-monthold Breyahna, 11-year-old Jahmar and 8-year-old Brandon. Jahmar was attending school at Chester A. Arthur School, 2000 Catharine St., while his brother was at Smith Academics Plus School, 1900 Wharton St., but the two would delight three days later in using the numerous presents, among them bicycles and a massive television. “These last few weeks have been difficult for my family,” the younger Christina Jones said. “I am grateful for the generosity of everyone who has helped my family.” Her kin’s introductory assistance came from the office of state Rep. Kenyatta Johnson, 1610 S. Broad St., which put her in contact with the Salvation Army. An evangelical component of the universal Christian church, the organization originated in 1865 and for nearly 20 years has assisted impoverished families through its Adopt-A-Family program. The initiative pairs chosen families, who must make wish lists, with individual or group sponsors. Eager to aid, Citizens, said Emilio Cooper, executive vice president and retail director for Greater Philadelphia, “swung into action.” In its first year with the program, the banking behemoth adopted the Jones family, its lone Philadelphia selection, and purchased toys, medical supplies, hygiene products and gift certificates. All came as timely contributions to the new life the younger Christina Jones must start after nearly six years in the nowdwindled dwelling. Following photos and expressions of gratitude, her mother showed the remains of the house, which contained boards where windows once allowed a full view of the Grays Ferry block. “We had been at a relative’s house for only a half an hour before we received the call,” Moore said after his partner’s mother explained the home’s faulty wiring. Rushing from West Philadelphia, Moore and his girlfriend, partners for nine years,
Christina Jones and Dominicke Moore have built a nine-year relationship that a recent fire to their home has strengthened. A state representative’s office put them in contact with two programs, including one whose purchases salvaged the couple’s Christmas. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
arrived to find their abode decimated. Engine 24, 1200 S. 20th St., tackled the inferno, which resulted in no injuries. Not succumbing to heartbreak, the couple and the older Christina Jones pressed on to give the children some semblance of late December joy. “I was ecstatic,” Moore said of learning weeks ago of the adoption. “Losing our home was a huge blow, but we have had fortunate days lately.” “We always hear about how generous people are, but seeing generosity in action makes stuff more real,” the younger matriarch added. THE FAMILY HAS received a few estimates for home repair, with the cheapest totaling $35,000. “Even that is hefty,” the older Christina Jones said as she eyed her youngest grandchild. The family has charted a return to normalcy through charitable neighbors and organizations, including Consolation
Baptist Church, 2500 Wharton St., where it attended Christmas services. The older Christina Jones knows the assistant of entertainer Will Smith, who has involved himself in the recovery. Through his numerous professional contacts, Lamont “Monty G” Anderson, Christina’s brother and a member of the Philadelphia 76ers’ men’s dance team, the Broad Street Beefcakes, helped to provide his nephews with 60 unforgettable seconds. He set up a one-minute shopping spree at Modell’s Sporting Goods, 2437 S. 24th St., Dec. 23. The two sprinted throughout the store, scoring shoes, baseballs, basketballs, footballs and a sled. Management also gave their mother $200 in gift cards. The experience ended with a ride back to their grandmother’s courtesy of Eagles’ wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. The boys and their sister each opened one gift Christmas Eve but reveled over the next two days. “They really had a ball,” their grand-
mother said. “It took them two days to open everything from all of our friends, the Salvation Army and Citizens Bank. They couldn’t stop thanking people.” Brandon made use of his new sled thanks to Dec. 26’s snowstorm that dumped more than 10 inches on the region. The happiness that he and her other children displayed gave their mother cause for reflection. “Despite being without our home, this has been our best Christmas ever,” she said. Anton Moore, founder of Unity in the Community, a three-year-old organization that stages free community events, ensured that other local neighborhoods felt the Christmas spirit within their homes. He initiated Operation Holiday Help to lift five families, including the Ellisons from the 800 block of Reed Street in Passyunk Square and the Spencers from the 1600 block of South 16th Street in Newbold. “I used Facebook to have people nominate a family they knew that was in need and to donate items to the cause,” the resident of the 2000 block of Snyder Avenue said of his latest project. Maizon Ellison, a recovering addict, serves as a minister and volunteers at North Philadelphia’s Our Brother’s Place, a shelter program with day and overnight services. His marriage dissolved recently and he is battling cancer. Moore and friends surprised him and his 8- and 9-year-old daughters Christmas Eve with coats, clothes, dolls, board games, various other games, a Snuggie and a shaving set. A mother of six, including a newborn boy, Deisha Spencer recently lost her job and could not afford many gifts for her children, whose ages, excluding the youngest, range from 2 to 16. Swooping by their Newbold residence the same night, Moore brought glad tidings and items similar to those he gave the Ellisons, with the addition of perfume and a lotion set. Both families also received four tickets to last night’s Sixers’ game against the Washington Wizards. Stunning the families with pre-holiday rapture, Moore, who commutes to New York City as a producer for BET, plans to be their advocate over the coming months. “We have an obligation to help these families to get back on their feet over the course of the next year until we find a new set of families next Christmas,” the 24-year-old, who credits the grace of God for allowing him to give back, said. “We all need help at times, so I will be aiding these families with whatever they need to get started again.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

filed a notice with Pennsylvania’s Department of Labor and Industry Oct. 7. The closure will eliminate 114 jobs and reflects that the Kmart brand has fallen behind those of discount titans Walmart, which operates a store at 1675 S. Columbus Blvd., and Target, which peddles its goods at 179 Mifflin St. Kimberly Freely, spokeswoman for Sears Holdings Corp., noted that liquidation of the Whitman facility, whose lease began in Nov. 1980, started Oct. 21. The store’s pharmacy closed in October, and employees learned then that terminations would occur over a two-week period this month. The impending cessation of operations has necessitated a final week’s worth of extreme bargains. Customers could have nabbed items at 30 to 60 percent off Sunday through Tuesday. Today caps a twoday period of 40 to 70 percent off sales, while Friday and Saturday will increase the savings to 40 to 75 percent off. A sign at the entrance announces that Sunday’s items will be “priced to sell to the bare walls,” and dozens of red stickers make clear that “Everything Must Go.”
An eager shopper entered the store Monday to look for deals 30 to 60 percent off. The percentages have increased as the days of operation have decreased. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
The sprawling community shopping center serves as a hub for SEPTA. The space is managed by South-Whit Shopping Center Associates, an affiliate of Breslin Realty Development Corp., the New York-based giant that constructed the plaza in the 1980s. According to published
reports, South-Whit refinanced the plaza for $16.25 million in October. Breslin oversees 28 shopping center developments, which included Kmarts in five states. Director of Leasing Robert Delavale noted that his company will hate losing Kmart as a Whitman tenant.
KMART CONTACTED BRESLIN to discuss its closure, and his company offered a fiveyear lease extension, Delavale said. “Kmart opted not to renew,” Delavale said, adding that the store never slacked in meeting its monthly lease’s obligations. “They asked to extend and stay open for the holidays, which we found reasonable.” Once Sunday passes, Kmart’s space will undergo a couple months of infrastructure repairs, Delavale said. His company is finalizing leases with multiple tenants, whom he promised will be “regionally and nationally well-known.” “The Kmart concept has been winding down a bit,” Delavale, who believes the plaza will not suffer minus the store, said. “Kmart’s replacement will represent newness, and newness always has a positive effect." The great sales on Kmart’s items definitely had a positive effect on the purse but not necessarily the spirit of Mary Morrell, who shopped on Monday more out of curiosity than necessity. “I’ve been shopping here since it opened,” the resident of the 1300 block of South Warnock Street said as she clutched continued on page 12

KMART continued from page 10 towels she will use to clean her car. “It was always a convenient stop. I’m a little sad, but I’m eager to see what it will become.” Fellow buyers seemed interested only in the present as they marveled at every aisle’s deals. Employees bantered with the customers, with two consumers expressing sadness that they would no longer be seeing their “store buddies.” As the United States’s third-largest chain of discount department stores, Kmart operates nearly 1,300 stores across 49 states, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Specializing in beauty products, bedding, clothing, hardware, health and beauty products, home decor, jewelry, movies, music, office supplies and toys, the company, with its famous logo and numerous concepts, such as the Blue Light Specials, make it an unmistakable behemoth in its field. Sears Holdings generated more than $44 billion in revenue and $235 million in earnings in the ’09 fiscal year, according to published reports. Kmart contends with Walmart and Target for customers across the country but especially in South Philadelphia, where
their proximity to one another can spell doom for an outfit. In its last fiscal year, according to published reports, Walmart accumulated $405 billion in revenue and over $14 billion in earnings, while Target made $65 billion in revenue and $2.5 billion in earnings. Sears Holdings would not divulge why it is not renewing the lease of the Whitman location, Store No. 3516, but previous releases on store closures have noted that performance certainly counts in deciding a store’s fate. Inside the store, a needless Application Center, a closed food stand and no mentions of “Attention Kmart shoppers” left no doubt that the plaza is only hours away from losing a chief contributor to its identity. “I’m surprised that they’re closing,” Tony Izzo of the 1100 block of Mifflin Street said. Izzo grabbed a few items but could not score a rocking chair he noticed over the weekend. “It was gone,” he said. “I’m not an impulse buyer, so I’m not sure if I will be back before Sunday. I came here enough, though, to know I will miss the convenience, but that’s the way life goes.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

POLICE REPORT continued from page 6 Crying wolf After falsely reporting at least two police shootings, a Point Breeze teen was charged with 15 counts of various offenses Monday. Raquan Enty, of the 1800 block of Wharton Street, allegedly dialed 911 at 6:32 p.m. Nov. 30 and reported an officer’s injury at 20th and Morris streets for which seven officers and three supervisors responded, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. Officers then discovered the 18-year-old blocks from the supposed crime scene and deemed it an untrue claim. It was determined the call as well as a similar call — at 7:28 p.m. Nov. 18 on the 2000 block of McKean Street — had come from his cell, Tolliver said. The phone was confiscated and Enty was taken to South Detectives, 2301 S. 24th St., for questioning where Enty is believed to have admitted to making the false reports. When found guilty of making a false alarm to an agency of public safety Dec. 17, he was sentenced to two years on probation. After obtaining search warrants for his phone and 911 records, Enty was arrested

Palette provider stickup Police are seeking a man who held up a Bella Vista paint store Monday afternoon. At 12:25 p.m., a man entered SherwinWilliams, 1001 Washington Ave., and lingered until two customers exited before pointing a black automatic 9mm or .40 caliber handgun at its assistant manager, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detectives said. The offender placed $360 in a black fanny pack he wore around his waist and shoved the worker inside a bathroom before fleeing east on Washington. The suspect was described as black, age 30 to 40, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8, 150 pounds and wearing a gray hoody with a front zipper, black pants, black sneakers, a blue and white checkered scarf, black and orange gloves, black sunglasses and a biker mask.

A
s the temperatures dropped below freezing early last month, the third album by singer/songwriter Bill Ricchini debuted with a sweet name reminiscent of warmer times. “The album is called ‘Summer Fiction.’ It’s my moniker, my band name, if you will,” Ricchini, of 12th and Moore streets, said. “My third album is my first under the name ‘Summer Fiction.’ My first ones came out under my own name, Bill Ricchini. “Since my last record came out, I wanted it to be cool, to do something different. It took about two years to make it, a good continued on next page

live performances — to garner exposure and make sure the ’60s-style sound reaches more ears. “I’d like it to have a larger audience than it has now,” Ricchini said. “I’m happy to get the coverage I have, it’s really cool. I feel like people are just discovering the record.”
year to record it. I recorded in South Philly, a lot of it was at my home,” the 36-yearold said. Ricchini laid down the lead and backup vocals, while also recording multiple musicians of all types separately — including rock and classical — to create a “wall of sound” that he accomplished by layering the tracks together. “One of the things that is interesting about this album is it is really dense. I like The Beach Boys and ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ by The Beatles. There is a lot of orchestration and strings and whatnot — with this record, I really took it a full step forward,” he said. With press starting in the blogosphere, national media coverage took its cue from the specialists and has been praising Ricchini’s newest release. “Summer Fiction” made appearances in such places as on the Inquirer’s 10 best local records of the year and in Vogue’s artists to watch section. “[Response to ‘Summer Fiction’ has been] really, really positive,” Ricchini said. “I’ve gotten really glowing press pretty much across the board.” The self-taught guitar player plans to ride the wave, booking more gigs with his five bandmates — who play with him for
A NATIVE OF Northeast Philadelphia, Ricchini began his love of music at a young age, but started to move toward his passions in high school. “It was probably around high school I started to really blossom. There was a lot of music in my household. I was a child of the ’80s, Michael Jackson and Prince and Bruce Springsteen and Madonna. Like a lot of kids in high school, Nirvana was a big deal and getting in to alternative music,” Ricchini, who writes all of his own material, said. “I wasn’t trained and didn’t know how to read music or anything, but started to think maybe there was a place for me in music “My music interest was more of a fan, listening and buying records and then thinking, ‘Maybe I can actually write songs.’” The drive to write persists to this day, with writing being what Ricchini considers his true passion. After studying communications at La Salle University, Ricchini worked as a freelance journalist

changed a lot.” Ricchini was able to find just what he wanted, including the in-house studio where he cobbled together the pieces for “Summer Fiction.” “I love South Philly. I think it’s great. I think it’s a great value. I think you can buy a big house and have a recording studio, which is what I wanted,” Ricchini said. “I think it’s really livable. It’s the neighborhood to live in if you want to live in downtown. I love all the food. I love the neighborhood.” Settled into his surroundings and his sound, Ricchini is thrilled with his latest production. Upcoming events for the record include a live recording at XPN to air the week of Jan. 16 and a March show at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. And though the winter months creep slowly on, Ricchini hopes “Summer Fiction” will give each listener a personal escape. “[I picked the name ‘Summer Fiction’ because] I liked the way it sounds, it’s seasonal yet literary,” he said. “It can be taken a couple different ways. I just thought it was cool name I guess is the easy answer … It’s really up for interpretation and all good bands’ names are.” SPR

before turning to music full time and realizing his first record, “Ordinary Time.” “I had a four-track recorder and started recording sets of songs while I was trying to figure out how to be a songwriter in 2002,” he said. “That got me a record deal. I guess I was sort of on my way.” Music from his first two albums — the second being “Tonight I Burn Brightly,” recorded while he lived in New York City — was featured on “Grey’s Anatomy” and is in the feature film “Barry Munday.” But the bright lights were not enough to keep Ricchini long. “New York is great, but I feel like Philly is my home. It’s a really supportive music community here, which is nice. It felt like the right time to move back,” Ricchini said of ’06, when he purchased his Passyunk Square home. When deciding where to put down roots, the musician had the benefit of having lived in the area in ’01 and ’04, but was pleasantly surprised to find many changes had occurred during his time away. “It’s changed a lot from when I lived in South Philly in 2001. It was a much different scene. There were young people, but I didn’t know where they hung out. There was no Cantina, no P.O.P.E. … I was feeling like a pioneer back then. It’s really

Stuck in a video game he created since 1982, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) returns when his son gets trapped alongside him in Disney’s “Tron: Legacy.”
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
A
top box-office performer over the holidays, “Tron: Legacy” has the hefty budget, established framework and sleek effects horsepower to take viewers on an exhilarating, pass-thepopcorn ride. A pity, then, that the muchheralded sequel merely coasts along with only the occasional snazzy set piece. Note to filmmakers: Nobody entering a movie like this wants to spend 60 percent of it listening to stock characters explain banal details while sitting around. They want to see those characters enlivening the story in meaty, frequent action sequences, especially when the mise-en-scéne is this fiercely well-designed. For instance, those ultra-chic, snakes-on-acircuit-board motorcycle races you’ve been seeing since the film’s teaser dropped about a year ago? They account for roughly eight minutes of the finished cut. Ditto the famed gladiatorial discus duels, which are less sidelined but still denied their full cinematic potential. What we have here is a movie with its priorities out of whack — a look-at-me action flick traipsing around as a talky drama, which might have worked if the story had even half the cool, creative pulse found in the visuals and the killer score by electronic duo Daft Punk. Back from the 1982 original, Jeff Bridges plays the tortured mastermind and wise old master of a virtual-reality realm (not to mention his younger, villainous clone, made possible by eerily cutting-edge motion-capture technology). Trapped in the world he created, Bridges’s Kevin Flynn is visited by his estranged son, Sam (Garrett Hedlund), who unwittingly fell down
a rabbit hole, for lack of a better description. Laced with gamer-speak and unaffecting father-son sentiment, “Legacy” maps an all-too-familiar course for Sam to find his destiny, and nods to everything from “Star Wars” to “Casablanca” while we just smile and shrug. As if unsure how to reprise his 28-year-old character, Bridges throws a little Jeffrey Lebowski into his Kevin Flynn, walking around barefoot and talking about Zen. “Patience beats aggression,” he says. Not in stylishbut-hollow sci-fi blockbusters, Dude.

Recommended Rental The Social Network PG-13 Available Tuesday In the best picture of 2010, David Fincher directs Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg — Facebook founder, 26-year-old billionaire and, according to the film, ironically antisocial mad scientist of the digital age.

asta is one of those dishes one can never go wrong with. It makes a perfect lunch or dinner and even a snack. But some people enjoy doctoring up the meal with seasonings and bonus ingredients. Debbie Robb’s Shrimp and Spaghetti is one of those recipes. The resident of the 300 block of Mercy Street said her version can be made using either linguine or spaghetti. Combined with the shrimp and some Parmesan, it creates the perfect twist to a simple recipe. If you’re having trouble deciding what time of day to make this, there is an easy solution: Make enough for seconds the next afternoon. SPR
Debbie’s Shrimp and Spaghetti INGREDIENTS:
1 pound of spaghetti or linguine, cooked according to package directions and drained 1 tablespoon of red crushed pepper 1 teaspoon of capers 2 minced cloves of garlic 1 teaspoon of onion powder 1 15 ounce can of crushed tomatoes 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1 small bag of frozen baby shrimp, rinsed and drained 4 fresh basil leaves, chopped Grated Parmesan, for topping
DIRECTIONS:
In a large saucepan, add all of the ingredients, except the pasta, basil and shrimp. Cook for 20 minutes over a medium heat. Toss in the pasta, shrimp and chopped basil and continue cooking until the shrimp turn pink. Remove the saucepan from the heat and top with the Parmesan.

Chef Claudio Conigliaro displays a classic Margherita pie, one of many that is offered at Pizzeria Pesto, 1925 S. Broad St. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
Seafood pizza can be tasty and a welcome change from what you might usually order. I asked our smiling waiter if we could have a white pie instead of a red one because we do not care for seafood in a tomato sauce. The pescatora pie ($10) consisted of baby shrimp, clams and mussels which were placed on a thin skating rink of mozzarella cheese topped with olive oil, garlic and fresh herbs. I wanted to see if the classic Margherita would arrive the same delicious way it did on my lunch. It did. Since I wanted dessert, a few slices of both pies were packed in a box. I never turn down a cannoli ($5). The ricotta filling was slightly sweet, creamy and filled my expectations. The shells are
made at the restaurant and each one is filled to order. A cup of decaf espresso ($2) capped off a delicious evening. Three tips of the toque to Pizzeria Pesto. SPR

and the classic Margherita ($8). Pesto must be prepared in the right balance of basil, garlic, olive oil and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Conigliaro’s version was smooth and imparted the right consistency. It was topped with olives and fresh mozzarella. The Margherita was polished with a fresh tomato sauce before slices of fresh mozzarella were added along with fragrant basil leaves. It was simply delicious. The restaurant was jumping when Edward and I went to dinner. Since it’s a BYOB, we brought a bottle of a richblended red from Spain. Salads here are large enough for two. They are freshly prepared and not a bit overdressed. Arugula salad ($7) contained just a few ingredients.Top quality, fresh baby arugula, shards of Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper were tossed with one of the freshest olive oil/lemon juice vinaigrettes I’ve sampled in a long time. The rustica salad ($7) was a Mount Etna of ingredients including mixed greens, which featured baby spinach leaves, frisee, red and green oak lettuces with more of the spicy arugula for good measure, roasted red pepper strips, six thick slices of mozzarella and slices of black olives topped with a dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Before the peppers were added, they should have been rinsed of their brine with the seeds removed. Imported olives rather than the rubbery canned ones would make this salad a star. But we gave the dressing a 10 out of 10. It was the finest balsamic vinaigrette I have ever tried in an Italian restaurant.
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I january 6, 2011
izza is one of those foods. I love pizza. I adore pizza. If I had a choice between foie gras and pizza, I would go for a white pie with garlic, spinach and olive oil. There has been a boom in pizza restaurants within the past year or so. Last summer, a friend told me the owners of Pesto planned to open a pizzeria a few doors down on South Broad Street. Pizzeria Pesto is a fine addition to the evergrowing number of pizza places throughout the city. I’ve been to Pizzeria Pesto on two occasions: lunch on a brutally windy afternoon and a recent dinner after the blizzard. I was delighted with both meals. The chef in charge is Claudio Conigliaro who is from Genoa, the home of Christopher Columbus and pesto. He prepares his thin-crust pies with loving care and bakes them in a large gas oven. Soup does not appear on the menu, yet our server advised that I could warm up with a bowl of stracciatella. The broth was homemade and rich with flavor. Warm, homemade rolls dusted with herbs and garlic arrived for the table. I, along with my dining companions, Bill and John, looked forward to trying the pizza. I ordered a Caesar salad ($6.50) to nosh on before the pies arrived. The dressing did not contain anchovies but our server had the chef top my salad with a few. The dressing, however, was homemade as were the crispy croutons strewn over the crisp bits of fresh romaine. We ordered the 12-inch pesto pizza ($9)

With a little guidance from the late Julia Childs, this winter classic of a recipe is one that is sure to warm the tummy. Feel free to add your ingredients of choice to this pot of flavors. By Phyllis Stein-Novack
I
Food Columnist
n the film “Julie & Julia,” Julie Powell prepares Beef in Red Wine in anticipation of a visit from Judith Jones, Julia Childs’ longtime editor at Alfred A. Knopf. It’s raining cats and dogs and Jones’s visit is cancelled because of the torrential downpour. “Good, more stew for us,” her husband Eric said. My husband Edward would have said the same thing. Beef in Red Wine is one of my favorite cold weather one-pot wonders. Although I use Childs’ recipe as a guide, I have tweaked it and discovered it is better than ever. I now simmer the stew on top of the stove rather than in the oven. This way, I can keep an eye on it more easily. The addition of bacon makes many dishes tastier. I sauté up about one-half pound, remove it from the pot with a slotted spoon and sauté the shallots in the bacon fat. Most versions call for a bottle of dry red wine, which I think is much too much. I use one-half bottle of a Burgundy such as a Cotes du Rhone and more beef stock.
After trying several packaged brands, I found Trader Joe’s organic beef stock to be filled with flavor and richer than other brands. On occasion, I have added carrots and potatoes to the pot. No more. I serve a side of beef in red wine with potatoes or buttered noodles. Occasionally, I add a sprig of fresh thyme to the pot. If not, dry thyme works well here. During the last half hour of cooking time, I sauté sliced mushrooms in butter with a bit of Canola oil. They are added to the pot. For the past year or so, I have been able to find fresh bay leaves at Sue’s Produce near Rittenhouse Square and at Iovine’s in the Reading Terminal Market. I keep them refrigerated in a sealed plastic container. They keep for months under refrigeration. Once you’re tried fresh bay leaves, you will never go back to the dried variety. Beef in Red Wine calls for a salad of sturdy winter greens. I like to mix escarole with endive, radicchio along with a heart of romaine and a small handful of frisee. I dress the salad with a Dijon mustard vinaigrette. A loaf of bread accompanies the salad and stew. Like the French, we drink the
same wine that is used in the stew. If you do not have a Cotes du Rhone, a hearty Cabernet Sauvignon would be a fine choice.
■ Beef in Red Wine ■ Ingredients:
2-1/2 pounds of chuck, cut into 1-1/2inch pieces, dried well on all sides with paper towels 1/2 pound slab of bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 2 large shallots, sliced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 4 tablespoons of flour 1/2 bottle of dry red wine 1 32-ounce package of beef stock 2 heaping tablespoons of tomato paste 3 fresh bay leaves 1 sprig of fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme 1 pound of cremini mushrooms, wiped clean with a damp paper towel, sliced 1 teaspoon of Canola oil 2 tablespoons of butter
Directions: Heat a 4-quart pot over medium-high. Add the bacon and sauté until crisp. Remove it with a slotted spoon and place in
a bowl. Raise the heat to high. Working in batches, brown the chuck cubes on all sides, using a wooden spoon or tongs to toss the beef around. Remove the beef and add to the bowl with the bacon. Add the shallots to the pot. Sauté them until translucent, for about five minutes. Add the beef cubes to the pot and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Scatter the flour over the beef cubes and toss the beef around until all the flour is cooked. Remove the pot from the heat. Add the remaining ingredients except for the oil, butter and mushrooms. Stir well. Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, covered for two-and one-half hours. Heat the oil over medium-high in a skillet. Add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the mushrooms and sauté them until they release their liquid, for about five minutes. Add the mushrooms to the pot. Cook, covered for 30 minutes. Serves four.

Minus many misgivings, the 5-foot-7 senior at Prep Charter, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., has been confounding opponents, leading the Huskies to a sparkling record and an admirable state ranking. The West Philadelphia resident committed to the University City school in October, signing about a month later. Having the interest of 40 schools, including the 1994 NCAA Champion University of North Carolina Tar Heels, she knew by September she would be either a Dragon or a University of Rhode Island Ram. “I visited Rhode Island in September,” Johnson said of her selection process. “I spent a few days at Drexel in October and really liked the basketball team’s system.” That system, like Prep Charter’s, revolves around frequent contributions from the point guard. Johnson, a two-year starter and a returning First-Team All-Public honoree, relishes that her role requires constant energy. “I enjoy leading the team and running the offense,” she said of being the main ball handler for the West Passyunk-based school, which fields, according to MaxPreps — a top recruiting website — Pennsylvania’s eighth-best girls’ team. Academics also lured the 17-year-old to Drexel, where she will display her skills at the Daskalakis Athletic Center. “My trip interested me in the school’s co-op program, too,” the soon-to-be campus resident said of the lauded initiative that provides paid employment in positions consistent with students’ interests and abilities. Though becoming a profes-
Senior Tiffany Johnson has led her Huskies to a No. 8 state ranking. She hopes to bring her next school success, too. s ta f f p h o t o b y g r e g b e z a n i s
sional basketball player has received little thought so far, Johnson eagerly anticipates becoming a professional. “I want to major in accounting,” she said. Johnson displayed her mathematical acumen in May when she took a placement test for Community College of Philadelphia. Her qualifying scores enabled her to register for a calculus class she has attended twice a week since September. “I take two classes at Prep Charter Tuesdays and Thursdays before going to Community,” she said of the welcome alteration to her final year at the school, which she has helped to win a pair of PIAA District 12 Public League Championships. If she performs well enough, she likely will receive credit from Drexel for her efforts. In June, she plans to take two classes at Drexel before setting out to balance the rigors of being a collegiate studentathlete. Having mastered the routine on the secondary level, she yearns to duplicate the process months from now. “I’m eager, not anxious, about what’s coming,” she said. AS AN ATHLETE, Johnson has had little cause her anxiety. Formerly an aficionado of tennis and track, she moved away from those to concentrate on basketball, which she took up at age 7. Having played for the MidAtlantic Comets and the Philadelphia Higher Ground Warriors, both AmateurAthletic Union clubs, she developed an offensiveminded game that has made her an unflinching floor general. “I like setting up my teammates. I also like scoring because I can create my own shot,” the soft-spoken teen said. “I’m working on my defense, especially my on-the-ball defense, because I know I need it to step up to the next level.”
The Huskies’ collective effort has served a major role in the team’s impressive start. Before yesterday’s Public League game against Roxborough, which ended after press time, Johnson and her crew had enjoyed an immaculate 7-0 mark, outscoring opponents by more than 24 points per game. The season opened Dec. 13 with a 54-19 road annihilation of Southern. A more-impressive 69-14 Dec. 15 home victory over Benjamin Franklin set the squad up for a trip to Boca Raton, Fla., for the St. Andrew’s Classic. “We have traveled a few times, but that trip has been one of my favorites,” she said of the excursion that brought the school the title against a trio of top Florida teams. The run began Dec. 18 with a 46-30 thumping of Jupiter, in which Johnson scored seven points. Two days later, she poured in 19 points in a 57-50 win against North Broward Prep. The Dec. 21 title game saw her notch 21 points in a 54-41 victory against Cypress Bay. Her efforts earned her a hard-to-dispute spot on the All-Tournament team. Post-Christmas, she and the senior-laden team won the Boardwalk Classic’s Southern Cape Bracket at the Wildwood Convention Center. Cedar Creek fell by the wayside 72-44 Dec. 28, with Johnson dropping 16 points. In the Dec. 29 final, the Huskies dumped Nazareth Academy, 57-40, as Johnson contributed seven points. She entered the week averaging 11.6 points per game. Those performances likely have made Drexel the envy of the 39 schools, including all of the Big 5 institutions, that Johnson spurned. A member of the Colonial Athletic Association, the team won 24 games two seasons ago, earning its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. It has won eight of its first 12 this season. Johnson will play for eighth-year coach Denise Dillon, with whom she communicates often. She credits Dillon and current coach Paul Rieser for helping to bring to a smooth end a process that began two years ago. “I feel so relieved that I know where I am heading,” Johnson said. “No more phone calls!” Her teammates and classmates have offered her a lot of congratulations. “Everyone has been great. It’s a happy environment,” she noted. Johnson wants to make her school’s gymnasium an unpleasant location for her foes over the next few months, ultimately hoping to improve her team’s fate in the PIAA State Tournament. “We’ve yet to make it out of the first round,” she said of her three previous appearances, “so I want for us to do better.” Not one for huge resolutions, Johnson confessed her main goal in 2011 is to stay on top of her grades. “Doing that will make me worry-free,” she said.

POINT BREEZE WINTER BASKETBALL LEAGUE Photo proided by L a S a l l e U n i v e r s i t y At h l e t i c s
La Salle freshman point guard Tyreek Duren has been named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week for a league-best third time this season. The 2010 NeumannGoretti grad averaged 18.5 points and five assists in two contests last week for the Explorers. He tallied a career-high 19 points last Wednesday versus Towson on 6-for9 shooting from the floor. He dished six assists, against two turnovers, in 40 minutes of action. On Sunday against Binghamton, Duren had 18 points on 7-for-10 shooting and handed out four assists. The rookie shot 68.4 percent (13-for-19) from the field and in the two contests for his 7-7 Explorers. He is La Salle’s team leader in assists (65) and ranks third in the conference in the category.
