Why plow?

What do you think about Tastykake’s recent financial woes?

“It’s unfortunate because when you go out for a snack, you go look for Tastykake first. It’s a sign of the times we’re living in. Nothing is surprising in these economic times.”

Yvonne Moore, 18th Street and Snyder Avenue

“I feel bad because I love Tastykake.

If they close, we won’t have them anymore. Then people will lose their jobs and I know how that feels.”

Debbie Thomas, 15th Street and Snyder Avenue

“I grew up on Tastykake and it would feel weird not having the snacks in the kitchen, but I doubt too many people would shed a tear.

It’s not one of my main priorities or concerns right now.”

John Pratt, 19th and McKean streets

“I send Tastykakes to my brother in Florida because he can’t get them down there. It’s a staple of Philadelphia and it would stink if they close down.”

Chronicle™

To the Editor: Despite the contempt many of us have for our City government, once in a while it’s policies do make sense.

Shoveling your snow in to the middle of the street is not only against the law, but also is completely and entirely senseless.

There is no logical reason for you to throw snow in to the street other than pure laziness. To the contrary, putting snow in to the street causes several negative consequences.

First, more snow makes it more difficult to drive. Second, the snow you put in the street gets driven on. When the vehicles drive on the snow, it becomes compacted. Compacted snow makes ice, which is dangerous. Third, if you shovel snow in to the street and then a plow comes, the plow is going to put the snow right back where you took it from. Fourth, compacted snow/ ice lasts longer.

I have read many Letters to the Editor complaining about the lack of plowing by the City. The reason that you want the City to plow is to make it easier to drive. Throwing snow into the street is in direct contradiction to your requests from the City.

To illustrate my point, I ask you to think about the reason that you shovel the pavement. You shovel to make it easier to walk. In my near 35 years in this neighborhood, I have never seen anyone throw snow into the middle of their pavements and leave it. Why? Because it makes no sense and would make it more difficult to walk.

Please use the same logic when dealing with your street as you do your pavement. It will make life easier for everyone. Happy shoveling.

All in all To the Editor: I love reading Tom Cardella’s columns. Some weeks I turn to that page first before anything else. I particularly liked [“The road kills,” Jan. 13] column with reminiscences about the 1960s.

I remember those times. I recently wrote a memoir about all the demonstrating and activism for civil rights and peace. Someone who was helping me work on it asked me to say why I did what I did.

Here is one thing that I came up with: In the 1950s, every day in

school they made us recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and it ended up with the words, “liberty and justice for all.”

Then black people started asking for equal rights, and some adults in our city (this was in Kentucky) said words to the effect of, “are you crazy? I meant liberty and justice for us — not for those people.” My parents, bless their hearts, said no, “all” means all even when that meant opposing some of the neighbors on our block.

Fast forward now to the fall of 2010 where certain people in Congress and elsewhere have insisted on giving trillions of dollars in tax cuts to the super-rich. Once again, it’s “liberty and justice for us — but not for them” (meaning, not for people in places like South Philadelphia).

Nun better To the Editor: Your article (“Ladylike Mission,” Jan. 13) on Sister Paula’s calling and efforts to place a mural of Our Blessed Mother in South Philly couldn’t be more timely. The neighborhood could become a heavenly light and a beacon in our saddened world. Mary’s desire for her image would bring protection and showers of graces to a still-faithful South Philadelphia. May she reign where there is so much faith.

The picture appeared in 1531 on Juan Diego’s cloak, a Tilma, a hemplike material that decomposes in less than 20 years in the Mexico City climate. Yet, the Tilma continues unblemished. It is painted (in heaven) with material unknown to this day.

She is the Patroness of the Americas. Could we ever need her more than today?

In the late 1980s, I owned a company which processed all computer work for Kennedy Hospital in Stratford, N.J. I had been told that pictures of the Tilma would protect against water and fire. So, I hung a picture of it in my office. One day the building caught on fire. Most of the hospital data had been stored on flammable tapes and the firemen rushed to save our computer. We suffered heavy water damage and the fire had penetrated our outside wall. A fireman told me that we came within 10 minutes of the computer melting. We started up without failure the following Monday.

Our Lady is always faithful and she will bless South Philly with her motherly graces.

Paul Greenhalgh Mantua, N.J. To the Editor: Thank you for your inspiring retelling of Sister Paula and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

God bless Mr. Carto’s donation of his wall and lighting. He is always so generous, and he helps where he can.

The bronze image of Our Lady as Sister Paula envisions will be seen by everyone walking south on Broad Street, driving by in an automobile and on the bus.

I pray that everyone who has read your article, and by word of mouth, will send a donation to make this dream come true.

I have sent my donation to Sister Paula who is a spiritual example to everyone who meets her and knows her.

y first introduction to the Internet was when I was in 7th grade. My family signed up for the old school, AOL dial up. I remember being totally enthralled with it as soon as my father taught me how to set up a user name, profile and e-mail account.

I honestly do not know what I did before the Internet. I mean, I played with Barbies and was involved with intermediate soccer.

But ever since then, and more so now, the Internet has been my hub for social events, career stepping stones and immediate access to anything I ever wanted to know about.

Gen Z will be the first generation to not know what people did before the Internet.

Talking to kids and tweens born between 1998 and 2011 about life before the Internet is kind of like our grandparents telling us about life before the television. Their eyes will go wide and they’ll inquire of us, “But how did you survive?�

The Huffington Post recently published an article called “ You’re Out: 20 Things That Became Obsolete This Decade.� It discussed the windfall of new technology that we’ve seen appear over the last decade. It also discusses some items that will follow in the path of the dodo bird.

Gen Zers and especially kids born within the last couple of years will never know some of the essential items that the members of Gen Y grew up with. And I’m not talking about Thunder Cats or Popples.

Things like VCR’s, landlines and even retirement plans will not exist in the lives of adult Gen Zers. They’ll be the most linked in, multi-tasking generation the world has ever come across.

My 7-year-old nephew already knows the in’s and out’s of using an iPad. When I was his age, I was still serving plastic donuts and water to my dolls during our tea parties.

Gen Z also will have to carry the burdens of a technologically advanced world. They may see some of the huge effects of global warming in their lifetime as well as a number of different species going extinct.

As Dickens said, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.� I think Gen Z has their work cut out for them. I also think that they’ll change the universe if need be, as well. SPR

n area 3-year-old was allegedly found unconscious at his mother’s boyfriend’s Roxborough home Saturday.

Joseph Zysk, 27, was arrested Sunday for the death of Jason Larkin, 3, of the 2500 block of South Eight Street, Lt. Ray Evers of the Police Public Affairs Unit said.

5th District police responded to the home on the 4200 block Joseph Zysk of Houghton Street at 3 a.m. Saturday and found the boy on the floor with a woman performing CPR, Evers said.

The woman giving mouth-to-mouth was not the child’s mother although the mother, who shares joint custody of the boy with his father, was in the home, a Homicide source familiar with the case said.

Officers assisted in trying to revive the toddler before he was taken to Roxborough Hospital where he was pronounced dead due to blunt impact trauma at 4:11 a.m., Evers said.

Injuries included abdominal hemorrhaging and a laceration, according to the Homicide source. The motive has not yet been released.

Zysk was charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child.

A Dickinson Narrows man was arrested for two area recent bank robberies and is suspected of a third.

Through tips and investigation, the FBI’s Violent Crimes Task Force and 3rd District police were able to arrest Keith Mays, 43, at a Southwest Philadelphia home 5:30 p.m. Jan. 12, said FBI Special Agent J.J. Klaver. Mays, whose last known address was on the 400 block of Dickinson Street, was charged locally with two counts each of robbery, theft, receiving stolen property and terroristic threats for the Dec. 31 robbery of Sovereign Bank, 2701 S, 10th St., and the Jan. 3 robbery of TruMark Financial Credit Union, 1931 S. Broad St. Mays also is suspected of robbing Citi-

zens Bank, 2001 S. Broad St., although no charges have been filed yet, Klaver said.

At noon Jan. 11, a man allegedly entered the bank and handed a teller a note that said, “give me all your money. I have a gun,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The bank employee gave the perpetrator all the money in her top drawer, but no dye pack or GPS unit. The offender fled the bank in an unknown direction with an undetermined amount of cash.

The robber was described as black, late30s to mid-40s, 5-foot-8 with a medium build and a mustache and wearing a dark hoody, dark jacket and black knit cap.

After-midnight shooting A man remained in the hospital as of press time from bullets received during a Passyunk Square shooting Tuesday.

Police found a 33-year-old who was shot in the chest and shoulder 12:47 a.m.

Jan. 18 on the 1400 block of South Eighth Street unresponsive, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

He was transported in stable condition to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and taken directly in for surgery, Tolliver said. Ballistics evidence was recovered at the scene.

The shooter was described as a man of an unknown race wearing a dark blue hoody, who fled in a silver Mercury Sable or Grand Marquise.

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

Knife snatch A man was stabbed then robbed on a Dickinson Narrows street early Saturday.

The 24-year-old was walking east along the 600 block of Tasker Street when an unknown man walked up to him and said, “give me everything you got” while his lookout remained on the other side of the street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

The two wrestled, during which the offender stabbed the man in his right side with a steak knife before fleeing west on Sixth Street and north on Dickinson Street with his wallet that contained identification and $60, Tolliver said. The accomplice fled toward Seventh Street.

Bleeding, the victim walked to the 1600

Police Report block of South Orkney Street, Tolliver said. He was transferred to Jefferson by a private car and later transferred in stable condition to the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania’s Trauma Unit.

The robber was described as light-skinned, early 30s, 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-2 with a scruffy beard and wearing a navy blue jacket and dark blue jeans while his lookout was only described as 6-foot-tall man.

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

ore than a year into his role as Citizens’ Alliance for Better Neighborhoods’ interim conservator, Center City District’s CEO Paul Levy has stepped down from the post. But not before first launching the new organization: Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp., or PARC. The new group, led by Sam Sherman Jr., will, at least for now, set up borders Federal Street to Snyder Avenue, and Broad to Ninth streets, and will generate profits from its properties while keeping its coverage area clean, Levy said at a Tuesday briefing at its headquarters, 1137 Wharton St. “All litigation, all that is in the past,” he said. “The organization is really free to operate and really fortunate to bring Sam on board. … This is a property-owning organization that needs to manage its residential and retail properties professionally.”

Levy hired Sherman, a Fairmount resident who will earn $77,800 a year, Monday. The businessman and retail developer worked with Mayor Michael Nutter on his Sustainability Policy and Licenses & Inspections Reform committees.

“It just seemed like a great opportunity,” he said on applying for his new role. “I thought I could employ my talents here. …

I appreciate a corridor like Passyunk Avenue. I don’t live down here, but I can see why it would be so crucial to neighbors.”

six days a week with the rest of its coverage area reaping the benefits once a week tentatively starting March 21, Levy said. It has already sold some properties including former state Sen. Vincent Fumo’s office and its adjoining lot, 1208-12 Tasker St., netting the group $460,000. Rental fees from its 15 East Passyunk Avenue properties, along with a parking lot, 2612-50 S. 13th St., and a Fairmount property that houses a state liquor store, credit union and a post office are expected to bring in about $400,000 a year for the organization, which will go into cleaning along with buying, rehabbing and renovating properties.

However, Levy wants to steer clear of areas that have previously overdone revitalization efforts deterring locals from frequenting the nearby corridors, he said noting another area shopping corridor’s change over the past three decades.

“South Street is a classic case where people who live two blocks won’t shop on the street, and so I set a goal for the organization that says, yes, they’re a great regional-serving organizations, restaurants, cafes down here, but the purpose of the organization is a long-term stabilization, a retail-management strategy to keep neighborhood-oriented retailers like a hardware store, like a small coffee shop, the small local places that just serve the local clientele and also create opportunities for young entrepreneurs just starting out.”

Approved by Judge Dan Pelligrini Sept. 13, the relaunch also includes new by-laws. Levy will serve as chair for the

The area’s fourth quest to conquer cancer kicked off with a rally in FDR Park.

By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

W

hile many complain about having to battle winter’s wretched weather, Martha Bormann and George Madosky have not uttered a peep of frustration in fighting a much more injurious foe, cancer.

Instead, Bormann, of Lower Moyamensing, and Madosky, of Cherry Hill, N.J., have used their passion for life and hatred of cancer to promote the Relay For Life of South Philadelphia. They fraternized with nearly 40 equally committed crusaders at the Jan. 13 Relay Rally — the countdown commencer to June’s 12hour fundraising event — at the FDR Golf Club, 1954 Pattison Ave. The two-hour gathering featured staff from the American Cancer Society and family members of cancer survivors and victims. Uniting to plan their fourth assault on cancer’s numerous forms 10 a.m. June 11, they discussed team formation and sponsorship acquisition while reinforcing the relentless scope of their mission. For Bormann and Madosky, the night continued their roles as survivors with enough resolve to fight for their past afflictions’ eradication.

Bormann, of the 1200 block of Fitzgerald Street, has promoted cancer awareness since 2000, one year after losing her father to lung cancer. She received her breast cancer diagnosis in June ’05, yet summoned enough strength to partake in a Maryland Relay For Life three months later.

“I had treatment on a Thursday and a shot the next day. I participated in the relay that night,” Bormann said of her irrepressible spirit.

Since its ’08 inception, Bormann and her daughter, also Martha Bormann, have worked to make the local Relay For Life a standout day to honor the will of survivors and the legacy of the deceased.

The relay involves teams engaging in a half-day’s worth of walking a designated course. Teams typically consist of 10 to 20 members, with at least one participant from each team mandated to travel the distance at all times. Interested parties must pay $10 to form a team, and the society asks each participant to raise at least $100.

“I had known of a few college relays for cancer, but I wondered why a large place like Philadelphia lacked a citywide celebration,” the younger Martha Bormann said of her motivation.

Armed with curiosity, she sought out the society’s Center City headquarters and pioneered the first relay, which the resident of the 2800 block of South 10th Street said was mostly a corporate event.

“It had no real feel,” she said of the initial plunge at Citizens Bank Park, One Citizens Bank Way. Feeling those whom cancer has most affected would be the most passionate seekers of its annihilation, the younger Martha Bormann began a committee to transform the day into a community event.

She chaired the committee for the ’09 celebration, also at the park, and last year’s endeavor at Northern Liberties’ Piazza at Schmidts.

“I am aware of so many local survivors,” she said of South Philadelphia’s role as the event’s host. “We raise money, but the day is more about celebrating lives than gathering funds.”

The society has set its fundraising goal at $56,000 — about $5,000 more than last year’s raised amount — with the Bormanns’ team, We Rock the Cure, hoping to bring in $4,000. More than 191 cancer diagnoses occur each day in Pennsylvania, and doctors will deliver more than 1.5 million unfortunate announcements this year, according to the society’s website.

The staggering figures inspire the pair of redheads to be fiery in their quest.

“I help out however I can,” the older Martha Bormann, who, as a survivor, will take part in a survivors lap to begin the event, said as her granddaughter Aubrey Rose watched a video loop of the ’09 celebration.

“I love that my mom participates,” the younger Martha Bormann added. “I’m sad she’s been sick, but happy she’s still here.”

A THIRD-YEAR VOLUNTEER, Madosky will co-chair this year’s event, which is a descendant of the first Relay For Life, a 1985 24-hour display in Tacoma, Wash. Primarily responsible for securing sponsors, he used his professional interaction with the society to spawn his participation.

“I sell materials to the society, so it

dawned on me that I should become involved with its mission,” the CEO of a New Jersey-based promotional products company said.

Doing so meant revealing his survivor status, something he had been reluctant to do.

“I had just not spoken about it before,” he said of whipping stage III bladder cancer seven years ago. “I needed only an operation and no chemotherapy. It was kind of like having a bad tooth pulled.”

Though his affliction may not have led him to fear for his life, it gave him further proof of the value of all life.

“I have a strong will to spread the word,” he said of the local relay whose motto is “Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.”

June’s celebration will occur with the American Swedish Historical Museum, 1900 Pattison Ave., and Bellaire Manor, 2000 Pattison Ave., serving as the main boundaries as space issues prompted the move from Citizens to Northern Liberties and from the latter to FDR Park.

Madosky will lead his team, MadHouz/ Committee, named for his business, as it looks to meet its $1,000 goal.

“The society is such a great organization, and patient benefits are great,” he said, citing Cheltenham’s AstraZeneca Hope Lodge, which offers free lodging for those whose treatment options may be in another city, and the Look Good...Feel

Better program, which promotes self-confidence and has classes at Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St., as key elements of the society’s mission.

The committee has three fundraisers planned, including an April fashion show in Drexel Hill that Madosky tabs “a home run.” Once darkness falls June 11, all present will honor survivors and lost loved ones with luminaria, illuminated bags bearing the names of those who have fought cancer. The bags represent the “Remember” component of the festivities and encourage the crowd to fight back.

The younger Martha Bormann noted that the society asks for at least a $10 donation for each bag, which people may design however they desire.

“We are encouraging artistic expression this year,” she said of the bags that will spell out “HOPE” when aligned.

Having lost her grandfather and an uncle to lung cancer and having comforted her mother, the younger Martha Bormann knows hope must accompany her each day.

“The event is growing and research is improving,” she said. “We just have to be patient. Cures are coming.” SPR For information on forming a team or becoming a sponsor, call 215-983-5347.

MERENDA

continued from page 1 The 1971 graduate recalled his “many happy days” at the school and offered tips for securing contentment to the 212-member student body.

“Who can tell me the name of the best grade school in Philadelphia?” the weekday resident of Harrisburg and weekend inhabitant of the 1900 block of South Hollywood Street asked.

“St. Gabriel’s!” the students bellowed from the auditorium that doubles as the gymnasium where Merenda once played for the basketball team.

Their lungs activated, the students then opened their ears to learn of his duties. “[Former Gov. Ed] Rendell told me to focus on two important duties,” the spectacled Villanova University and University of Notre Dame alumnus said of tasks that began March 16, 2004 with his becoming Commissioner of the State Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs.

Revealing the first as seeing that “people are protected and receive good service,” he asked the students to name their prospective careers. With a mighty grin, he took about a dozen responses, offering “those are great choices” to desires to become, among others, athletes, doctors and singers.

Merenda, whose Sept. 27 unanimous state Senate confirmation conferred on him his now-former title, explained that many of their selections require schooling, testing and obtaining a license.

“What is a license?” he inquired.

Several answers confirmed that a license enables someone to practice a trade or perform an endeavor, yet kindergartner Keyarie Shoffner gave the most rousing reply.

“A license lets us stay focused,” the member of Michelle Sumner’s kindergarten class said.

“Wow, that’s a wonderful answer!”

Merenda said to the resident of the 2100 block of South Beechwood Street before explaining that he helped the commonwealth’s 29 professional licensing boards and commissions to license more than 800,000 business, health and real estate professionals.

He launched into a discussion of laws after saying his other job is to ensure fair and honest elections as part of the democratic process, with questions on government following. A few students lined up to give their idealistic thoughts on what they would do if they were to hold the presidency, Philadelphia’s mayorship or Merenda’s position.

“I would see that we have more women elected,” eighth-grader Kylee Kuniff, of the 2700 block of Tasker Street, said.

Other answers involved ending abortion, providing jobs for everyone, building more

A handy man, Basil L. Merenda doled out high-fives to the excited St. Gabriel kindergarten class. His 75-minute appearance left the class and its cohorts thrilled to know one of their own has gone on to prominence.

homes and modifying tax laws.

“How would you do that?” Merenda asked when he wanted more specifics.

His prodding of the excited youngsters led to a discussion of their responsibilities and need for constant confidence.

“I am going to give you a two-part homework assignment,” Merenda said.

The first called for them to keep copies of his business cards to prove that St. Gabriel graduates can become anything they aspire to be.

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you cannot follow your dreams or that you cannot do something because you only went to St. Gabe’s or are from South Philly,” he said.

FOR THE SECOND part of their assignment, he gave them additional cards, instructing them to replace his name and title with their names and expected vocations.

“Now, repeat after me. If Basil can do it, I can do it, too,” Merenda said.

Fully expanded diaphragms shouted one part then the other as Merenda announced he was sure no naysayers would conquer the children’s dreams.

“You have to do your homework, listen to your parents and pay attention to your teachers,” he said. “Promise me you will be the best person you can be.”

With assurance from the crowd, Merenda

welcomed questions. In the job discussion part, no student mentioned wanting to be a journalist, but several students showed good investigative skills.

He revealed he was a member of the Oregon Fancy Club, desired to play for the Phillies and excelled in history and reading at St. Gabriel.

“Like I have done, you will need to put time and effort into everything you care about,” Merenda, who is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, said.

Reading “To Kill a Mockingbird” with her classmates prompted eighth-grader Naje Tucker to ask Merenda about prominent cases from his career. He answered the Southwest Philadelphia resident by discussing a couple cases through which he recouped individuals’ lost funds.

The 1975 graduate of Bishop Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., then posed for photos with the student council and the kindergarten class.

“It was nice having him here,” Kuniff said as Merenda slipped on a St. Gabriel Catholic Youth Organization staff shirt and a school sweatshirt. “For the eighth graders, it’s great to know we can go beyond this area.”

The encouraging words from Merenda, who departed office Tuesday along with Rendell, match the school yearbook’s “If

you believe, you can” theme. He and Sumner, who has taught at the school for 33 years, set up the day to remind students of their need to persist. His own need has served Merenda well.

“The area influenced my interest in politics and current events,” he said of a career that includes a turn as Deputy Attorney General for New Jersey and one as legal counsel for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1776.

Weekends find him spending time with his mother and attending Mass at his alma mater’s church. He is likely to stay in Harrisburg to handle litigation and feels he has set up Rendell’s successor, Gov. Tom Corbett, and his replacement, Carol Archele, for a smooth transition.

“The state has phenomenal potential. We have to work to rejuvenate the economy and to encourage youths, like the children at St. Gabe’s, to aspire to be successes,” Merenda said. “I had many wonderful experiences as secretary, including my swearing in, when my mother held the Bible. I’m South Philly through and through, and today’s experience makes me appreciate how this neighborhood and this school have helped to form me.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

MLK DAY continued from page 1 us the tree of life to come together as one, regardless of race, creed or color. He gave us that ticket to go ahead and show love to one another. Anytime you can see a community of people coming together is a wonderful and beautiful thing.”

A record-breaking 75,000 volunteers participated in 1,200 service projects throughout the city as part of Monday’s 16th annual Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service, which included events at a South of South church and Whitman store donating furniture to two formerly homeless brothers, who now call South Philadelphia home.

“Martin Luther King means a great deal to me,” Sherrice Smullen, Tindley’s secretary, said. “Being a person who is always looking for ways to give back, help out and make a difference, this day of service is nothing short of perfect in my eyes. Dr. King stood for equality, change, togetherness, unity and what better way to show an example of those things than by giving back to the community and the church.

“It is even more important to see the children involved and teaching them Dr. King’s legacy, educating them on working

together, for each other, not against one another. We have to instill these values very early on so that projects such as the MLK Day of Service can happen all through the

year, not just one day out of the year and what would please me even more would be to see our future generation making that happen.”

The 174-year-old Methodist church, which is home to the oldest existing soup kitchen in Philadelphia, is open to the public on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

“We are bigger than light on Broad Street and a place where everybody is somebody,” Pastor Elaine Ayres, who resides in Delaware but stays at Broad and Catharine streets most of the time to assist at Tindley, said.

For the King Day of Service, the soup kitchen volunteers served hot meals that included meat, vegetables, bread, cookies and punch, to their hungry guests in addition to participating in a number of different painting and cleaning projects around the church.

“The kids like to paint and whenever I think of MLK Day of Service I always think paint,” Smullen, said. “Our goal is to paint the education building of the church and several of the bathrooms, hallways, some doors. We are also doing some cleanup and throw-away projects. That project will simply be to clear all clutter, old outdated things and just make space.”

News continued from previous page — including two siblings now residing near Dickinson Square Park since September.

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, OPPORTUNITIES, a nonprofit organization that educates, equips, empowers and encourages homeless and other at-risk youth and young adults to achieve their academic potential and professional goals, and IKEA partnered together to support the students with a day of shopping and lunch. The young adults, including brothers Brandon, 23, and Byron, 21, who did not want to provide their last names, of Fourth and Morris streets, have successfully transitioned out of homelessness with the help of OPPORTUNITIES’ volunteers.

“It’s near my job and in a great area of the city,” Byron said of their new apartment and his job where he has been honored with employee of the month twice.

OPPORTUNITIES, founded by Justina Shaw, provides life coaching, mentoring, career training and stable housing to more than 60 youths in Philadelphia.

“The success of these students is inspiring and commendable and we’re glad that we are able to collaborate with businesses to provide support and recognition,” Shaw, the organization’s CEO, said.

IKEA provided furniture for the students’ new apartments and gave them a shopping tour of the facility. All of the furniture the students bought came already assembled by the IKEA staff.

“This is helping with youth development by showing them a way to set up furniture in their first apartment,” OPPORTUNITIES’ board member, David Cheney Sr. said. “It’s also a great life skill that shows them what to look for as adults in stores and to ask questions about the products.”

An aspiring politician, Brandon, who started college in September and is double majoring in political science and business administration, has served as a member of 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco’s youth committee. He volunteers for political campaigns and encourage his peers to become more politically aware.

His younger brother, Byron, started his freshman year of college this month with a focus in business administration. He wants to eventually study criminal forensics at Drexel University and pursue his goals of becoming an FBI forensics agent.

“Before that, I wanted to be a cop like my uncle,” Byron said. SPR Comment at news/features.

Nine-year-old Dante Coccia Jr. will receive a distinction presented by Philadelphia Phillie Ryan Madson to honor the many obstacles he has already overcome.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I january 20, 2011

hen Dante Coccia Jr. was chosen to receive a Shining Star Award, presented by Philadelphia Phillie Ryan Madson, the Coccia family, from Broad Street and Oregon Avenue, knew it was fate.

“My dad always had the Phillies games on, which made [being paired with the Phillies] really, really even more special,” Marla Coccia, Dante’s mother, said of her father who passed four years ago. “My husband would have loved any of these teams – because he loves the Eagles. He’s a football fan. But to my mom and my sister, this is very special to us.”

The charity awards, presented by the Wanamaker Ticket Office, will be hosted

by Comcast SportsNet tomorrow in Center City and benefit the March of Dimes. Dante, along with three other children who “represent the urgent mission and needs” of the March of Dimes will receive an award, each presented by a member of the four major Philadelphia sports teams.

In addition to Madson, the 76ers’ Evan

Phillies pitcher Ryan Madson, left, gave 9-year-old local resident Dante Coccia Jr. and his family a tour of Citizens Bank Park last season.

day — it was a big special thing.”

Turner, Eagles’ Brent Celek and Flyers’ James van Riemsdyk will be in attendance.

“We were honored [to be chosen] and we are surprised,” Coccia, whose family has had a long relationship with the March of Dimes since Dante was born nearly 17 weeks premature and weighed only 1 pound, 7 ounces, said. “We never did anything to expect to get anything in return.”

After Dante received intensive care, some of which had come to fruition out of research done by the March of Dimes, the Coccia family began participating in the charity’s annual fundraising walk in 2003. Dante, who was born in ’01, has participated with his family in ’03, ’04 and ’05.

“Well, he was excited. He really was,” Coccia said of a September meeting between Dante and Madson, where the pitcher showed the family around Citizen’s Bank Park, One Citizens Bank Way, and then gave them tickets to the day’s game.

“You know, he’s not a typical 9-year-old.

He didn’t realize how special and how tremendous that experience was. He didn’t take it for granted — he loves being honored and praised. He’s all about getting rewarded. Just knowing he was special that

MARLA COCCIA’S FAMILY is from 23rd Street and Snyder Avenue. Her husband, Dante, grew up in the house that his family — which includes Nicholas, 2, and Vienna, 19 months — lives in to this day.

“My husband, being a police officer, he plays on a semi-pro football team and they play other police and fire teams in other different states,” Coccia, 39, said. “They donate money at the end of the year. They usually pick a charity involved with police, like PAL [the Police Athletic League].

And they wanted to pick a third and they decided … on the March of Dimes.

“We didn’t do [the walk] that one year, and they donated for us in Dante’s name.

Something like a $5,000 check a year. It kept us active.”

Being active with the March of Dimes began with Dante’s birth and the subsequent births of the two youngest in the Coccia family. While Nicholas and Vienna had healthy term pregnancies, they were aided by precautions set in place by the March of Dimes, a charity that works to help moms have healthy full-term pregnancies and researches problems that threaten babies’ health. The Coccia family was recognized in ’05 as an outstanding

participant in the annual event, the March for Babies, in Pennsylvania.

“We were the top family, we raised $12,000,” Coccia said of the third and final walk the family completed. “We were the top family in Pennsylvania, that last year we had like 60 people. The team name was Team Dante Coccia Philadelphia.

“We do have a big family support system because of both sides of the family.”

Dante’s premature birth came with many complications, including retinopathy of prematurity that caused total blindness in his left eye and a blood clot on his brainstem that led to a diagnosis at age 2 of cerebral palsy. Since birth, Dante has had multiple types of therapy, and most recently began horseback riding, which Coccia said has caused a remarkable change for the better in her son.

“The difference we saw in his balance and overall natural gate, walking in general,” Coccia said. “When you’re riding a horse it works every muscle in the body.

Trains the brain to feel going back and forth and shifting side to side.”

Today, at age 9, Dante is happy and healthy, and much more verbal than other children of similar circumstances. Coccia and her husband have kept Dante in mainstream schools and he now attends Abigail

Vare School, 1621 E. Moyamensing Ave., where he is in an autistic support class.

“He is very verbal now. He still gets confused with wording things in his speech.

He has come a long way,” Coccia said.

The family learned of tomorrow’s event last summer and had to make a tough decision of who to bring with them. As far as Dante’s performance, Coccia is not too concerned about having him in the bright lights, but worries just as any 9-year-old’s mother would.

“I don’t want him to give Ryan Madson a hard time,” she said.

In addition to the distinction and the chance to meet a Phillies star, the biggest blessing for the Coccia family is simply the opportunity to share another day with a son they weren’t sure was going to live beyond day one.

“We got the best of both worlds. We have children that are typical. We have a child that does things that amaze us and makes us think he is the best thing around,” Coccia said. “He sure deserves [this award].

He’s been through more things than most of us have gone through in our life, let alone a 9-year-old boy. He’s such a determined little boy.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

A profoundly dark, subversively funny Greek import that defies both genre and description, “Dogtooth” certainly doesn’t appeal to every taste, but its bizarre concepts and strikingly graphic presentation cause it to linger long after it’s seen. To say more would be to spoil, but know this: You’ve never seen anything quite like it. SPR

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I january 20, 2011

he backstory of the French animated gem “The Illusionist” warrants a movie all its own: Directed by Sylvain Chomet (“The Triplets of Belleville”) from an unproduced screenplay by deceased legend Jacques Tati, the film, which focuses on an aging magician and the girl he cares for like a daughter, is steeped in both the lore of French cinema and contemporary controversy. Given to Chomet

by Tati’s late daughter, the script is reportedly Tati’s manifesto of his shortcomings as a father; however, the family of his other, illegitimate daughter, whom he abandoned, claims she is the true inspiration, and insists she deserves credit as such.

But, really, while all that adds to the mystique of “The Illusionist,” you needn’t know any of it to appreciate the film’s blissful wonder and bittersweet nature. This is a superior animated picture that arrives at the end of a stellar year for the genre (it’s a 2010 awards-qualifier). Proceeding with the timeless charm and overarching melancholy of a silent classic, it contains hardly any dialogue, save the occasional mumbled declaration. Your eyes gather the particulars of the narrative along with the majesty of the Scottish setting – it’s an intimate, yet grand, example of the basic, beautiful power of the film medium.

The audience follows struggling illusionist Tatischeff (modeled after Tati) from venue to thankless venue until he winds up in Edinburgh, where he’s followed by a young girl who sneaks onto his ferry after his enchanting appearance in her remote village. No gig is too small for Tatischeff, and no detail is too small

for Chomet.

In acting, even the least significant ensemble player is tasked to give his character an inner life. Such is how this film is composed. The foreground, middle ground and background have a remarkable vitality, and every last passer-by has his own quirks and history.

The emotion is as rich as the visual palette, building to a poignant close that speaks to the fears, frailties and instincts of parenthood. Ultimately, despite its one last sad piece of wisdom, “The Illusionist” proves our world knows it share of magicians.

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

= Average

= Very Good

= Exceptional

JG Domestic

By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

T

here are two things the majority of chefs I know cannot do correctly.

They cannot write a recipe with a clear listing of ingredients, in the order in which they are to be used, and a clear explanation of directions. They do not understand the important use of prepositions in describing a dish. They list ingredients offset by commas. Some are pretentious using words to describe what dishes they actually are not.

This last thought whirled through my head on two occasions at JG Domestic, Jose Garces’ seventh restaurant. I wondered what the devil was Maine lobster cappuccino butternut squash dumpling, vanilla espuma. Italians take their cappuccino with a roll in the morning.

Sure enough a gentleman next to me dove into the soup ($14), which was lobster bisque defined in 21st century American culinary terms.

JG Domestic is housed in the Cira Centre. The front room has comfy banquettes and white, tile-topped tables set with chocolate brown napkins. The area is topped with a pretty wooden arbor surrounded by greenery. The contemporary white tableware and flatware are from Italy.

The house pastrami sandwich served with house mustard and braised cabbage on country sourdough ($9) was openfaced or two-fisted.

The plate contained two slices of fresh sourdough, about four ounces of what masqueraded as pastrami, a small ramekin of mustard and a slighter larger one Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

filled with a cabbage slaw that my server told me was sauerkraut.

Have you ever sampled tasteless pastrami? This version was dry and lean. It had no smoky, spicy or fatty flavor, which is the hallmark of pastrami. Braised cabbage has a buttery-seasoned flavor. I pined for caraway seeds. This one was sweet and downright boring.

Duck fat fries ($5) on a previous occasion hit the mark. They were crisp and piping hot. During my lunch, they arrived lukewarm.

I sipped Earl Gray Mighty Leaf Tea ($3) and waited in anticipation for a dessert called Bourbon ($8). It consisted of three over-the-top, extremely hot just-out-ofthe-fryer beignets, dusted with a bit too much powdered sugar, which was pure sweet heaven.

I longed for some chocolate sauce. It came with Maker’s Mark butterscotch, which was more like molasses, and a strange gummy confection called vanilla mousseline. It had an unpleasant aftertaste. Real ice cream would have sent me home singing.

On a previous occasion, my friend Chris joined me. We began our meal with J.G.D. Crab Louie ($12) a lovely lady-like salad, attractive and fresh. It was prepared with Miles River blue crab, buttery Bibb lettuce leaves, sliced cucumber, a boiled quail’s egg and bacon. It required a sprinkling of salt and pepper, but the salad was enjoyed by both of us.

Since Chris spent 18 summers with his nana and papa in New Orleans, I had to

try the shrimp po’ boy ($12). It was a big disappointment. A long soft roll was laid open. The fried shrimp was OK, but lacked seasoning. It sat upon some romaine leaves with sliced cherry tomatoes scattered on top.

We liked the fish & chips ($12). Pacific black cod was light, hot and crisp as were the chips which accompanied the plate.

When in England or Canada, you sprinkle on malt vinegar. At JG Domestic, the chefs make a smooth aioli with the vinegar. It hit the mark.

We sipped tea and ordered a chocolate dessert ($8). The tart was runny and should have spent more time in the oven.

But the scoop of homemade cocoa nib ice cream along with cocoa braised sweet figs was sheer bliss.

Garces obviously uses top quality local ingredients in many of his dishes. He also believes in presenting sustainable seafood and other provisions from local farms. It is what a chef does with the ingredients that may or may not hit the mark.

Two tips of the toque to JG Domestic. SPR

T h e To q u e S t o p s H e r e

Preparing a beef-free menu isn’t as bad as it sounds. Feature in-season vegetables or pasta dishes to warm the tummy.

By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

F

or the past year, an ever-growing number of restaurant chefs have offered meatless dishes on Mondays.

They are doing so to draw attention to the local farmers from whom they purchase their fruits and vegetables.

I support the idea of meatless Mondays.

It is good, sound nutrition to follow the five-a-day recommendation. I prepare vegetarian dinners or lunches at least once a week. I use eggs, cheeses, butter and halfand-half. Heavy cream is authorized once in a while, especially if I am baking potatoes au gratin or a Brussels sprouts gratin.

Macaroni and cheese goes well with stewed tomatoes and a green vegetable. A mélange of Roasted Root Vegetables and a green salad will warm you up on a winter evening. I like to toss some beans in the salad for protein. Simply add a loaf of bread, your favorite wine and a piece of cheese. This makes for a complete meal.

Fruit desserts are featured on my table throughout the seasons. Apples and pears are the obvious choice right now because they are autumn/winter delights. I never make berry desserts during the colder months. I have tasted blueberries from Chile and they were tasteless. California strawberries are iffy because, more often than not, they taste like cardboard.

Of all the meatless choices, pasta heads

the list. Vegetarian lasagna, baked eggplant and any type of pasta you prefer can be turned into a tasty meatless Monday dinner.

■ Roasted Root Vegetables ■ Ingredients:

6 whole red bliss potatoes 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks 2 turnips, peeled and cut into chunks Olive oil, to slick the vegetables Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sprinkling of Herbes de Provence

Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Place the vegetables in a baking dish large enough to fit them in a single layer.

Slick the vegetables with the oil and toss well. Add the salt, pepper and Herbes de Provence.

Roast the vegetables for one hour, turning them once or twice. The vegetables are done when a knife easily pierces the potatoes.

Serves six.

Note from Phyllis: Herbes de Provence is a mix of dry thyme, lavender, sage, marjoram, summer savory and basil. I found the blend at Whole Foods but you can make your own just by blending dry herbs you have on hand.

■ Gratin of Brussels Sprouts ■ Ingredients:

2 pints of Brussels sprouts, the smallest you can find, trim the ends (if large, cut them in half or quarters) Vegetable spray 1 pint of heavy cream 2 cups of grated cheese of your choice such as Gruyere, Emmenthal, cheddar or a mix of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sprinkling of dried thyme Bread crumbs, for topping 1/2 stick of unsalted butter

Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Spray a baking dish with the vegetable spray.

Begin to build layers, first using the Brussels sprouts. Pour on some of the cream.

Scatter some of the cheese all over the cream. Season with the salt and pepper.

Repeat the process and end with topping the gratin with the bread crumbs. Dot with the butter.

Bake in the oven for at least 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Serves six.

Note from Phyllis: If you have a can of toasted onion ring pieces in your pantry, use it. I did just that and the topping was outrageous.

■ Winter Salad ■ Ingredients: 1 head of romaine, torn into pieces 1 head of Boston lettuce, torn into pieces 4 Belgian endive, sliced 1 small head of radicchio, shredded 1 carrot, peeled and shredded 2 cans beans of your choice such as garbanzo, black beans, red beans or Great Northern 1/2 pound cheese of your choice such as feta, Maytag Blue, Roquefort or Gorgonzola Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup of olive oil Juice of 1 lemon

Directions: Place all of the salad ingredients in a bowl. Toss well. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Toss well.

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and lemon juice. Pour over the salad and toss well.

Serves six.

Note from Phyllis: Feel free to add a little bit of coarse Dijon mustard to the dressing. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/recipes.

Rockets fuel A Grays Ferry high school boys’ basketball team is wowing the area in its first varsity season.

By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

I

n its vision statement, Charles Y. Audenried High School, 3301 Tasker St., makes its concern for its students apparent. One section states “...we acknowledge that learning to cooperate, solve problems, communicate and work productively with others will help them thrive in an ever changing global society.”

On Jan. 14, the boys’ basketball team showed its receptivity to that snippet, mounting a fourth-quarter comeback that fell short in a 66-63 home loss to nonleague foe Bok Technical High School, 1901 S. Ninth St. The thrilling action that produced the close finish was not possible last year, as the school, now only in its third year in its Grays Ferry building, fielded just a junior varsity squad. Not content with moral victories, the 16 varsity players covet quantifiable ones and suffered only their second loss against nine wins in the contest.

The Rockets, formerly the Warriors, compete in the Public League’s 12-team Division D — one of the city’s two Class AA groupings — along with the Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., and today’s road opponent, CAPA, 901 S. Broad St. The nickname fits well, as the unique team has ascended quickly under the tutelage of Tina Wiggins, who last year headed the boys’ varsity team at Horace Furness, 1900 S. Third St. Now enrolling just over 400 students, Audenried opened in Sept. 2008 with only a freshman class. It came three years after the original building closed and two years after its demolition. Adding a new class each year, the school will be senior-free until late summer. The accumulation of bodies at the expansive building has kept athletic director Bob Miller busy scheduling activities to occupy their limbs.

“We are trying to add at least one new sport each year,” he said of the school’s offerings.

While the boys’ varsity team played in the boys’ gymnasium, the junior varsity girls’ unit played around the hall. The athletic brethren for the teams include coed varsity golf and track and field squads, a boys’ var-

sity lacrosse team, a boys’ junior varsity soccer unit, a girls’ varsity volleyball team and a dedicated cheerleading squad.
