“I
can’t tell you the number of times I heard my grandmother say ‘I’m an actress, not a housewife,’” Dr. Mari Kathleen Fielder said Tuesday at the University of the Arts’ Ira Brind School of Theater Arts. The Center City location will help a new generation of theatergoers to appreciate her relative by staging “Leading Lady” Feb 3 to 5. The musical will examine the early yet prolific career of Mae Desmond, a figure whose heritage, looks and moral nature scored her acclaim nearly a century ago. An adjunct professor, Glenside’s Fielder has served as a consultant to composer and lyricist Charles Gilbert, Brind’s director, See DESMOND page 14

“A
s emotional as everything is, you need to avoid coming at it from an emotional stance,” Patricia Cody said after Friday’s dismissal of 293 pupils from Epiphany of Our Lord, 1248 Jackson St. The fifth-year principal has been maintaining her composure since Jan. 6, when the Archdiocese of Philadelphia-appointed Blue Ribbon Commission declared her
Lower Moyamensing location along with Holy Spirit, 1845 Hartranft St.; Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 2329 S. Third St.; Sacred Heart of Jesus, 1329 E. Moyamensing Ave.; and St. Richard, 1826 Pollock St., will likely merge to form a regional parochial institution. If a review committee and Archbishop Charles J. Chaput uphold the group’s suggestions for 45 elementary and four high schools to
close or merge, hundreds of students will need a new educational abode, with the archdiocese projecting 700 learners will attend the former Stella Maris site, 814 Bigler St., which closed two years ago for the same reasons that could doom the commission’s selections. Cody knew South Philly would experience change but had not expected it for nine of its 10 elementary spots. She noted the archdiocese began studying each school See CATHOLIC SCHOOLS page 8

To 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla: The Fels Community Center opened approximately 12 years ago and was a welcome addition to South Philadelphia residents. It has become a mainstay in the community, providing a senior center, a day care center and a pool to our area. It has been relayed to the members of the center that the facility is being sold and rumors have been that a charter school is most likely going to buy it. The members of the community center would like to work with you to assist us in maintaining this facility as a community center due to the fact that it serves a vital part of a thriving neighborhood. The day care center, after school program, camps and senior center have been extremely well utilized. The closure of the center would cause a hardship in finding a replacement for these programs. The pool is utilized by the afterschool children, the camp, seniors, as well as people who swim for exercise. There is really no other affordable indoor pool in our neighborhood. Presently, the center serves more than 900 older adult members, 75 after school youth, 160 summer program youth and 70 early learning program children, 15 teenagers and countless members between 18 and 54 who utilize the pool. There has been an influx of young people and new construction in South Philadelphia’s neighborhoods making the area attractive. Offering a community center like Fels can only enhance this improvement in the neighborhood. Arguments for or against a charter school is really not the issue here, but there are two points to be made against this use. First, a charter school at that location would dramatically increase the traffic in the five-block area between Snyder and Oregon avenues on Broad Street. One only has to be in that area at about 3:30 p.m. daily to see what occurs. Secondly, with the consolidation and closing of many parochial schools, there are many viable buildings that would have an easier transition for a school than the community center. Please consider our request. I would greatly appreciate your advice on how we can keep our community center. Thank you. Marian Nasuti Gervasi South Philadelphia
Wee people To the Editor: Gov. Tom Corbett on a radio talk show blamed federal judges on the 3rd Circuit Court for obstructing Pennsylvania in the execution of death sentences. He repeated a number of times that the individuals on the court were lifetime appointees. Under the Constitution, Congress created all the federal courts with the exception of the Supreme Court and has power to transform the courts and its rules and regulations. This is a major check written in the Constitution to keep power in the hands of the people through their representatives. Any lifetime rule can be done away with. Would it not better serve Pennsylvanians to educate and prompt them to prompt their legislators to reform the federal court system so that federal judges conform to the Constitution than to perpetuate the myth that judges cannot be removed and the people are helpless and must endure any ruling under the tyranny of the courts? The Constitution is written to secure the power of the people not to enslave them to judges and politicians. Ignorance is a powerful enemy to the people.
V I E W Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion
The Constitution secures and protects the rights of the people and their states to uphold their standards and values. It is not a vehicle for individual judges to further their own agenda by misusing the courts. Throughout the 20th century, despite Constitutional checks and balances to prevent abuse of power, certain federal judges have used their office to alter our nation against the standards and values of the people who created the government and the courts. The government including the courts should reflect the standards and values of the people through their Constitution which declares the ultimate supremacy of the people in the preamble, “We the people...� not we the Supreme Court. Washington, Madison, Franklin and the other delegates did not write a Constitution whereby a judge or a few judges have the final say over the nation. The people have the final say and the delegates worked for a long time in Philadelphia crafting and framing the greatest governmental document produced by man to insure that.

Intimidating holdup A robber threatened two men’s lives in Lower Moyamensing early Saturday. A pair of 21-year-olds were strolling along the 800 block of West Moyamensing Avenue at 1:30 a.m. when an unknown man pointed a semi-automatic handgun at them and said, “Give me everything you guys have or I’m gonna kill you,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One of the men gave up his iPhone, $50 and identification while the other handed him his cell phone, keys and wallet that contained identification, check card and a $35 Best Buy gift card. The offender demanded “Don’t move” as he rummaged through their pockets before fleeing east on Moyamensing and south on Eighth Street. The thief was described as Hispanic or Asian with a dark complexion, age 21 to 29, 6 foot, thin, having brown eyes, a light-colored mustache and beard and long, black hair; and wearing a black scull cap, dark-colored hoody, gray sweatpants with a Rocawear logo on his left thigh and dark-colored shoes.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS continued from page 1 about four years ago but had not heard any theory that her locale, filled 53 percent to capacity, would join the aforementioned schools and Annunciation B.V.M.. 1148 Wharton St.; St. Gabriel, 2917 Dickinson St.; St. Nicholas of Tolentine, 913 Pierce St.; and St. Thomas Aquinas, 1719 Morris St., in pondering parting with or welcoming young minds. “The commission had to make many tough choices, many I expected, not that that fact has made things much easier,” the resident of the 1100 block of West Moyamensing Avenue, who last year won a Distinguished Principal Award, said. Enrollment dips signaled a call for action, as did parish subsidies, which since 2001 have averaged $319,162 per school. Epiphany’s students received $100,466 in subsidies in ’09-’10, the last year the report chronicles. The report deemed students must attend their respective regional school to continue their Catholic instruction, stating “By keeping the children from the same parish together it will help them to build community among themselves and the pastor and parish staff can maintain a relationship with them.” For many Epiphany children, that will mean returning to Stella Maris, 0.89 miles away. Samantha Dinubile, however, cared not about proximity but about feasibility. “I am worried about having so many children in one place,” the resident of the 1200 block of Ritner Street said after retrieving her sons, fifth-grader Salvatore and second-grader Santino. She dubbed herself shocked and feels not enough consideration went into compiling the report. “While it’s true students will not need to travel that far, there will be safety and transportation issues,” Dinubile said. Distances from the planned school range from 0.89 to 1.9 miles. The figures have her wondering about busing, an element the six-member implementation team consisting of Stella Maris Rev. John R. DiOrio and other pastors is discussing. Her sons’ friendships have Dinubile leaning toward the regional site. “I still can’t believe it,” Salvatore said. He acknowledged remaining with companions would gladden him but noted parting with the Epiphany atmosphere would sadden him. “This could also be troublesome for teachers. What about teachers who may come from schools with low enrollment?” his mother said wondering the effect of

larger class sizes. Employees at closing and merging schools must reapply for positions at their particular regional site only, with 1,700 teachers destined to polish their résumés. Packer Park’s Holy Spirit, with 141 students, and Mount Carmel, with 140, join a dozen other selected schools in educating fewer than 150 students. Filled 43 and 45 percent to capacity, respectively, they have suffered significant enrollment plunges, losing nearly 300 combined students since ’05. While Mount Carmel Principal Sister Rosemarie O’Neill declined to comment, Holy Spirit Principal Donna-Maria Meyers confessed in an email to having a heavy heart. “The Christmas tree and decorations in my outer office are still not put away. It dawned on me that the delay is because I know that I’m not just putting them away for next year, but that I am putting them away to take home to my garage until...,” she said. “The kids will sense what we are feeling. If we are positive and see this as a good thing, the kids will, too. Change is a healthy part of life’s journey.” Pennsport’s Sacred Heart of Jesus enrolls 191 students, 76 percent of its capacity. Like all the mentioned schools, it received a six-figure subsidy in ’09-’10. Down 39 students since ’05, it, too, has struggled. “These have been hard days,” Principal Sister Patricia Mount said via e-mail, “but we are getting excited about our planning for the new regional school and its programs.” THE ARCHDIOCESE CHOSE the Stella Maris building because its capacity for students exceeds the other sites’, archdiocese spokeswoman Donna Farrell said. Ample parking, green space, the church’s connection to the school and the site’s overall structural integrity solidified the selection. “Right now the focus is on the teachers, students and families affected by all of

these decisions,” Farrell said of the plans for the seven affected entities’ future uses, with personnel determining the sites’ fates. She suspects many will remain in use for religious education programs. The commission hinted at such, too, as it will bolster opportunities for public school students who venture to parishes for sacraments and faith formation. Cody, who helped to devise yesterday’s Epiphany appeal, hopes her doors continue to welcome her learners, too. “With factual data, we have to prove we are sustainable and viable,” she said. “I am hopeful, condent and prayerful.” St. Richard’s rst-year principal Marianne Garnham could use the same adjectives. “St. Richard isn’t just a building they send their children to; it’s a way of life,” she said of parents who have expressed fervor for her 262 students’ Marconi haven. Her learners have shown impressive resolve, participating in a vigil, displaying posters in the school’s windows and attending a Tuesday night prayer service. The seventh and eighth grades will open Catholic Schools Week at Sunday’s Masses by reading essays on their school’s worth to them. Garnham and pastor William Kaufman crafted an appeal showing that St. Richard can sustain itself based on enrollment and nances. The archdiocese expects to make its nal decisions by next month and name the schools and their principals by March 25. Garnham, whose school is lled 86 percent to capacity, hopes it can beat the odds. “Despite the sadness and turmoil, our students have been wonderfully optimistic,” she said. “Their love for their school has been uplifting for all of us.” SPR
he Department of Licenses and Inspections implemented another step toward meeting the Greenworks vision with two ordinances designed to encourage the use of solar panels systems in Philadelphia. Passed by City Council and signed into law by Mayor Michael Nutter last year, amendments made to the Philadelphia Building Construction and Occupancy Code now significantly reduce costs when securing electrical and building permits for solar panel systems. “I am excited to support this energy option since solar panel systems decrease dependence on fossil fuels and reduce the risks of rising energy costs in the longrun,” Licenses and Inspections Commissioner Fran Burns said.

My job involves pep rallies. I announce college games. But back when I was 348 pounds, I didn’t have much pep – just high blood pressure, headaches, and sleepless nights. Luckily, my wife introduced me to the people at Jefferson, where I had my gastric banding surgery. Today, my hypertension and sleep apnea are a thing of the past, but the Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery team is still with me – following up with helpful information, even making my monthly appointments with a dietician who helps me plan what I eat. At my current 188 pounds, it’s way easier for me to get in the team spirit. And, with all my new friends at Jefferson, I’ve got a whole other team to cheer for.

DESMOND continued from page 1 for two years, helping the resident of the 1800 block of South 12th Street to shape the tale of Desmond, born Mary Veronica Callahan in 1887. His 28-song creation, with author P. Seth Bauer’s accompanying book, will join four other works in his institution’s inaugural New Play Festival. “Mari mentioned Mae in passing, and I set out to see if I could find enough material for a musical,” the East Passyunk Crossing resident, whose work has won him three Barrymore Award nominations, including recognition for the South Phillyset “Gemini the Musical,” said. Gilbert, whose 1979 work “Assassins” served as the source for Stephen Sondheim’s likewise titled Tony Award-winning composition, became engrossed in studying Desmond, who grew up on the 600 block of South Randolph Street and later called the 1700 block of Ritner Street home, to encapsulate her as a triumphant odds defier whose resilience knew no limits. A member of a large Irish Catholic household, Desmond sought to bolster her clan’s material existence and relied on father Michael Callahan’s skills in teaching her the arts of storytelling and oration to incite an acting interest. Fielder penned the musical program’s notes, which include a description of her grandmother’s securing resident ingenue status at the Chestnut Street Opera House. Voicing its take on the complex elements of Irishness, management renamed her Mae Desmond. The facility’s stock company united the actress and Frank Fielder, its juvenile, or young romantic lead. He desired Broadway renown, as did Desmond, who captured his heart immediately, leading to their first child’s birth in 1910. Landing leads for Brooklyn’s Gotham Players took them to New York City, where Desmond attempted to earn rave reviews in “The Daughter of Mother Machree,” which producers saw as a likely hit. When exalted status eluded the work, she and her partner regrouped and decided to craft a company in accordance with their artistic vision. “And that was the birth of the Mae Desmond Players,” their granddaughter said of the ’17 formation in New York. Her notes state her grandparents yearned to “climb up the stock company markets, from hinterland to small city, eventually back home to that closest-to-the-top urban market, Philadelphia.” “They knew Philadelphia was a different animal than New York City,” the educator said. Time in Schenectady and Elmira yielded to the lure of North Philly, including its Metropolitan Opera House. Desmond and her beau enjoyed their greatest financial and

popular success while running Kensington’s aptly dubbed Desmond Theatre, according to the Cambridge Guide to American Theatre. Its productions catered to German and Irish Catholics, with Desmond’s “Irish beauty, Catholic morality and fashionable correctness” keying great returns and a sense of intimacy with the audience. “Repertory companies were very popular during my grandparent’s era of greatest popularity,” Fielder said.
ter a sense of bravado, love and patience. “It is certainly a story of Mae’s coming into her own and acquiring local fame,” he said. “I found so many aspects so intriguing that I had to cover as many as possible.” GILBERT BEGAN THE work in summer ’10, with a surplus of responsibilities making mapping its parts a sporadic yet thrilling experience. “I continued to write here and there,” the
‘It is certainly a story of Mae’s coming into her own and acquiring local fame,” he said. “I found so many aspects so intriguing that I had to cover as many as possible.’ — Charles Gilbert, Brind School director Geography promoted the establishment of companies in numerous areas, Gilbert said. Shifts in neighborhood focus doomed many troupes, leading to the ongoing Center City onslaught that has even bred his school’s Caplan Studio Theater. Territorial tastes, however, did not jeopardize the Desmond Players. “My grandmother did not want to invest but eventually listened to my grandfather, and they lost money during the Great Depression,” Fielder said of the Stock Market Crash of ’29. Gilbert addresses their triumphs and travails in his undertaking, seeking to explore enough experiences over a two-decade period to fos-
musician said, “and when we decided last year to have ‘Leading Lady’ be among the works in the festival, I increased the pace of the writing.” As he will present the project as a workshop, Gilbert will be gauging receptivity to the story to devise a timeline for the work’s ultimate look. He is hoping to see if eager students can find kindred spirits in Desmond and Frank Fielder, whose artistic and romantic identities continued to blossom long after the initial taste of fame and fortune had dissipated. “It really struck me to tackle Mae and Frank as partners in life and in business,” Gilbert said of his subjects’ bond, which
resulted in 72 years of marriage. As no relationship escapes conflict, the composer imagines disagreements to intensify the passionate personalities. “My grandparents remained in the business until their 80s,” Fielder said of Desmond and Frank Fielder, who died at 95 and 96, respectively, and who broadened their theatrical scope by establishing the Mae Desmond Children’s Theatre in Willow Grove. Their tirelessness has inspired Gilbert to be similarly vigilant, as rehearsals and discussions have increased for next week’s performances. “My grandmother had a working-class mentality,” Fielder said of an attitude that won Desmond plaudits in Queen Village, especially, but also most places she displayed her talents. A Center City shoe salon in 1921 named a shoe after Desmond, the Mae-Belle, according to Fielder’s notes. “For a generation, Mae Desmond embodied the optimistic surety that the hardworking life in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods opened to a richer, wider world,” her circular ending says. “For a time, nothing seemed finer, especially to the young women of Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, than to walk in Mae Desmond’s shoes.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

A childhood spent on South Philly gang-infested streets turned a South of South native into an author, mentor and counselor. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

y brother, Ronald Freeman, and he’s passed now, I asked him if I did all the paperwork, would he go to college? … He had this crazy look on his face, but he said, ‘If I get accepted in college, sure I’d go,’” Darrell V. Freeman said. “I did all the paperwork and Ronny got into college. He ended up graduating on the dean’s list.” Freeman’s brother — one of the three brothers who died from various medical issues — was the first in the family to attend college. Freeman followed in his brother’s footsteps and is now a sought-after speaker for his mentoring initiatives as well as relationship advice. “My motivation was my upbringing in South Philly. My motivation — I’m the guy that at South Philadelphia High School, [2101 S. Broad St.,] my high school guidance counselor said I didn’t need to go to college because I wouldn’t make it. I didn’t have what it takes to get through,” Freeman, a native of 19th and Christian streets, said. “I’m three degrees past hearing I wouldn’t make it in college and eight books past and five books that haven’t been printed yet.” The prolific author began publishing in 1990 and since has updated one of his earlier works, “Investing in our African American Youth — Can you handle it?” to be more comprehensive. “I added about 125 pages. It’s now about 200 pages and it didn’t come out till 2010. I added pages to that because I felt as though I needed to update it with some more parent and relevant material like respect: Is it lost? continued on page18 Staff photo by Greg Bezanis

Lifestyles
FREEMAN continued from page 16 Can we ever get it back? Stuff about music and hip hop and gangs and hope,” the author said of the work originally published in 1994. “My time living in that gang era in South Philly, [I write about] what it took to get me to see beyond gangs and drugs and how to meet the needs of youths from broken homes.” Now a father to four — Darrell, Jr., 28, Patrice, 25, Phylicia, 22, and Darren, 20 — Freeman is practicing what he preaches, including the advice he gives about being a good father. “I talk about how to mentor young people in 2010,” he said of the rerelease. “When my book came out again, I made sure the emphasis went on diversity and cultural diversity, helping young African American children to dream.” Aside from passing on his life lessons through his books, Freeman commonly books speaking engagements. He will next be in action near his now-home state of Delaware, speaking Feb. 14 at Morgan State in Baltimore, about relationships and then March 10 in Wilmington at a conference about dads stepping up to the plate.
“What happened was that I started writing and I couldn’t stop,” he said. FREEMAN MOVED FROM 19th and Christian to 21st and Christian before settling in Wilson Park at 27th Street and Snyder Avenue. He then attended Chester A. Arthur, 2000 Catharine St., and Norris S. Barratt, then at 1599 Wharton St., before finishing up at Southern. “When I was growing up, I counted some eight to 10 of my friends who were murdered from elementary to high school. When I was growing up in South Philly, one friend of mine, we were in like sixth grade, he got murdered,” Freeman said. “He was the first one. He was just standing outside on a day at the wrong time. “That’s when it started. The list just continued — personal friends who got murdered growing up in South Philly. There was a gang every several blocks. You couldn’t go from one neighborhood to the next without going through a gang and getting beat up, wounded, chased, murdered or stabbed. That’s the gang era I grew up in.” Freeman wanted to escape the circle, and realized he could use personal experience to help others. “My [experience comes from] having
been in the trenches. What happened was that I was a youth minister for awhile,” he said. “I was doing that in West Philly, a youth pastor, and as I was doing that, the pastor asked me to run a youth ministry. There were no materials, nothing relevant to African-Americans. “Here I was with all these young people and I was expected to give them leadership and give direction, and there was no material on how to minister, to train young people and youth leaders in the trenches.” Freeman began writing while matriculating at West Chester University where he studied secondary education and minored in business administration and AfricanAmerican studies. “I wound up pledging a fraternity. It was the first African-American fraternity ever — Alpha Phi Alpha. Martin Luther King Jr., was a member,” he said. “Those guys taught me business. I wound up becoming a national officer, and I was in meetings with judges and attorneys and national prominent figures. I was mentored by Andrew Young, former mayor of Atlanta and MLK’s right-hand man.” After graduating, Freeman got a job working with inmates at Impact Services Corp., a job he maintained off and on for almost a decade. His writing and mentoring was a natural extension of this line of
work and though the publishing industry can be brutal, Freeman found a way. “To be honest I got so tired of calling publishers and calling organizations and asking them to publish me. I got tired of hearing the word ‘no,’” Freeman said. “Here’s what I taught my children: Don’t ever tell a Freeman no because when you tell us no that’s when we get it done.” Freeman began his own publishing company, which has published his works. Now as a nationally and self-published author, he hopes to be able to make other aspiring writers’ dreams come true. “My goal is to reach a certain point when it comes to equity and financing so I can reach out there and do for others what was not done for me,” he said. Whether it’s through his written or spoken word, or through his company, Freeman continues to affect change in the community. His ability to do this, he maintains, comes from a childhood spent on the streets of South Philly. “People say, ‘So you grew up in Philadelphia?’” Freeman said. “And I say, ‘No, I grew up in South Philadelphia. The home of the Eagles, the Sixers, the Flyers, the Phillies — that’s where I grew up.’” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

By Tom Cardella Columnist
The credibility gap
Y
ou don’t have to have your child in Catholic school or be a practicing member of that religion. It is impossible not to feel compassion for area Catholics forced to deal with the loss of their cherished schools. It wasn’t so long ago when our neighborhoods were defined by what parish you lived in. People sacrificed a lot to send their kids to these schools. These were more than just schools; they were the essence of community for many Catholics and non-Catholics. Economic reality changes as do demographics. Enrollments declined as neighborhoods aged, competitive charter schools gave parents more options and tuition costs became too great for the budgets of even many dedicated Catholics. Vocations have dwindled along with the priests and nuns who used to be counted on to provide highquality and low-cost education. All of us saw the handwriting on the wall here when St. John Neumann was forced to merge with St. Maria Goretti High School a few years ago. And yet again the pill is bitter to swallow as groups form to attempt a last ditch appeal to save their schools. The protests represent something more than the understandable effort to stave off a tragic loss. They demonstrate a credibility gap between the church and many of its members. I am not one to blame the sex abuse cover-up for all or even most of the financial woes that have fallen on the schools. You might even make the case that even with the legal costs incurred, the schools would have eventually been overwhelmed financially. What I do know is the trust factor just has disappeared between parishioners and their church since the cover-up was disclosed. Once you are forced to admit to transferring pedophiles to other unsuspecting parishes, any future statements — even about unrelated issues — are suspect. Apparently this lack of credibility even affected the donations received from parishioners. Years ago, if the archdiocese had announced the same regionalization plan, there would have been sadness among its devoted followers, but few would have challenged the “facts” the Blue Ribbon Commission used to determine which schools closed and which were saved yet that is exactly what is happening right now. The list of failing schools included some schools thought to be safe. There is a feeling among some outraged parishioners that the books were cooked and there are other hidden reasons why the decisions
were made. Charles J. Chaput, the new Archbishop, admits it is possible mistakes were made and promises an open appeal process. But he undermines his own credibility by claiming his Catholic schools were done in by “discrimination.” Discrimination is a serious charge. It also is reckless, untrue and totally irresponsible. The archbishop apparently believes the failure of government to provide vouchers to the Catholic school parents is de facto discrimination. Let me be clear. I have supported the use of vouchers as part of the education budget because I believe by doing so the base of support for properly funding our schools increases. Currently the political support for funding public schools is small because parents of alternative schools perceive they have no stake in the matter. I also am aware of the legitimate arguments against vouchers — the constitutional question of the separation of church and state and the real chance voucher funds simply would be subtracted from the already diminishing public school budget. There is also the consideration that if a school accepts vouchers, then it has to accept government oversight the way public schools do. To add to the issue’s complexity, in these lean times, education budgets are being cut, not increased, but all of these issues are legitimate legal and policy questions — a far cry from discrimination. I find it difficult to believe Chaput isn’t aware of the political difficulties the question of school vouchers raises all across the country. I find his discrimination charge deceitful, an effort to find a scapegoat for his churches’ real problems. His false cry is an echo of what we heard when the grand jury report detailed the abuse coverup. The crisis in Catholic school education is a tinderbox and it doesn’t need the archbishop to throw logs on the fire. It may be that no matter what, providing and maintaining an alternative Catholic education system is no longer feasible. I am the last person in the world to tell the archdiocese how to manage its money and run its schools, but I live in the neighborhood and see the profound sorrow and pain folks are feeling, but unless the archdiocese regains a measure of trust with its followers, it is going to make bearing the difficult times even more difficult. When there’s a credibility gap, trying to pass the buck only makes it worse. The sooner the archdiocese realizes its problem, the better it can deal with the real issues. The appeals process will hold a key to whether it can convince its followers that it is treating them fairly. Until then, the archbishop would do well to stop the inflammatory rhetoric and stick to solving the real issues within his control. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.
Ahead of the pack
When their plane crashes in the Alaskan wild, Ottway (Liam Neeson) and his crew of oil drillers must survive the elements, ravenous packs of wolves and more if they hope to survive “The Grey.”
R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
D
eath takes predatory form in “The Grey,” a spiritualistic, outdoorsy Alaska thriller that sees a group of plane-crash survivors attempt to outrun a pack of ravenous wolves, which is to say their own collective, relentless fate. The metaphor may sound as blatant as an encroaching, ghost-filled fog, but director and co-writer Joe Carnahan does a rather bang-up job of fusing the existential with the atmospheric, offering very well-filmed action and spooky, frigid dread that would grip you even if it weren’t grasping for a higher purpose. That it does merely helps to fend off the film’s dismissal as just another survivalist hike. Backed by producers Ridley and Tony Scott, Carnahan channels his influences in a manner both deft and transparent, showing signs of everything from the “Alien” saga to “Lost” to “Open Water” to 1993’s “Alive” (which this film’s characters casually reference for good, pseudo-meta measure). Led by Liam Neeson’s huntsman, Ottway, a man ostensibly in tune with the secrets of mortality but really just as lost as the rest of us, the rough-and-tumble survivors all hail from a remote Tundra drill site, and they’re dropped into an unforgiving purgatory where it’s either succumb to the beast or outlast and ascend. The film’s initial hour is riveting stuff, thanks in large part to Masanobu Takayanagi’s perfectly appropriate high-grain cinematography and a strong succession of patient, potent scenes (the most memorable features Ottway gently and terrifyingly coaching a crash victim as he dies). A largely convincing mix of computer-generated imagery, camera tricks and — one should think — the real, furry deal, Carnahan’s wolves truly
scare as they stalk, and they prove a formidable match for Neeson and his articulate bad-assery (the actor continues his new career as the middlebrow Nicolas Cage). “The Grey” doesn’t quite maintain the vigor that ushers it in, and it’s unfortunately padded with too much obligatory filler seen in too many down-to-the-lastman flicks (your comic relief and crude contrarian characters are duly accounted for). By and large, though, this is exciting, decidedly un-hollow entertainment, and it’s far better than what you’d expect from a mainstream January release.
The Grey R Three reels out of four Opens tomorrow in area theaters
Recommended Rental
Drive R Available Tuesday Few filmmakers last year showed as much formal control over their pet projects as Nicolas Refn did with “Drive,” a dizzyingly stylish and pristinely well-made action drama that stars Ryan Gosling as a mysterious stuntman who doubles as a freelance driver. There’s crime, there’s romance, there’s intrigue, and there’s a smashed skull in an elevator. There’s also some of the finest uses of music, sound, editing and ultra-slick cinematography that 2011 had to offer.

Local business named “TOP TEN AUTO BODY SHOPS IN US” ABRN (Auto Body Repair News) analysed the collision industry and selected 10 shops from across the country that stood out as leaders above all the rest. These shops go the extra mile for their clients, their community, and their workmanship. We are pleased to announce that Nigro’s Auto Body of Philadelphia, PA has made the list of top shops, and remains one of the most innovative and unique body shops in the United States. ABRN takes the contest very seriously and has high standards and extensive requirements to even be considered as a 'Top Shop’ and based their list on originality, practical business sense and creativity. “Much about Nigro's is unusual. The shop actually traces its origins to Italy and the European method of repairing vehicles, which Nigro says outpaces much of the technology used in America. Co-owner and father of Domenic, Aniello Nigro trained and worked in Florence, Italy, before coming to Philadelphia to open the shop in 1983.” One major contribution to their Top Shop status is their out-of-the-box promotions. Nigro’s has a line of smart-phone safety apps, including a custom Accident App that will help you call 911/paramedics, emergency roadside assistance, and three family members should the need arise. They also offer a Teenage Speedster App that helps parents monitor and control their child’s driving and a Mobile Tattle Tale app that disables texting while driving over 20MPH. Nigro says the focus of his business is helping people. "I'm tired of cars. I don't like them anymore," he jokes. "I like people." This is why he and the shop devote so much of their time to the Philadelphia community. To help their fellow Philadelphians, Nigro's sells AutoTex Pink windshield wiper blades and Paschal handbags (made of recycled car parts) with 10 percent of the revenue going to charity.
Finally, the events held at Nigro’s are unmatched in the auto body industry. From women’s only auto body basics classes to car seat inspection events each month, and pet safety classes in the works for this spring. They’ll also be hosting their own battle of the bands style competition starting late winter that hopes to feature local musicians and distribute CDs of the winning artists to all the cars they service and at partner distribution locations.
For more info please come to the shop, visit the website or give us a call: 215-925-4520 www.nigrosautobody.com 939 Washington Ave, Phila PA 19147

Charity is constant theme at Nigro’s, and they’re almost always running a campaign that supports organizations ranging from National Breast Cancer Foundation to The Food Trust. They are currently offering to donate half of your deductible to the charity of your choice (up to $250) and even have a program where they will give qualified applicants a loan to pay off their bills and fix their car (“Don’t Pay Me to Fix Your Car” program). Nigro’s Auto Body is also the first in Philadelphia to offer hand control installation for disabled drivers, where 10% of profits are given to The Buoniconti Fund.

T
here are a variety of fritters. Some contain meat while some are filled with fruits and vegetables such as zucchini, apples or bananas. Edie Petrongolo’s Corn Fritters are the perfect snack or side dish that even the children will devour. The resident of the 1500 block of Ritner Street learned the family recipe from her sister Roe. She adds her own spin to fried batter by serving the fritters with pork chops, or alongside ham after drizzling warm maple syrup on top. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.
Edie’s Corn Fritters INGREDIENTS:
1 can of creamed corn 1/4 cup of sugar, or more to taste 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1 egg 1 teaspoon of vanilla 1/2 cup of flour or more e Cooking spray Butter Syrup, optional

The fried poultry, a 6- or 12-wing serving with honey glaze donuts and Japanese pickles, will be up for grabs on a first-come, first-serve basis.

estaurant critics discover new restaurants in a number of ways. I tip my toque to our readers who contact me via e-mail, Twitter and snail mail, telling me about the latest place for brunch or for an informal dinner. I recently learned about Al Zaytouna, a middle-eastern gem in the Italian Market. I was good to go. Eastern Mediterranean foods are among my favorites ever since my first trip to Israel. Located next door to the delightful Sabrina’s, Al Zaytouna reflects the casual feel of the neighborhood. The restaurant is BYOB and has takeout, catering and delivery service. The owner, who took excellent care of us, is from Tunisia. Sandy, Edward and I began our dinner with a variety of appetizers ($11.95), which whet our appetite for the meal ahead. People begin with this array of starters in restaurants and at home throughout the Middle East. A basket of warm, immaculately fresh pita arrived along with a large platter of tempting foods. It contained homemade hummus, which was light, creamy and topped with a tiny pool of olive oil; baba ghannouj, or whipped eggplant spread; two cool grape leaves stuffed with aromatic rice; two of the finest falafel this side of Tel Aviv; and a generous mound of tabouli, chopped with fresh parsley and herbs. Sometimes hummus has a grainy taste and texture, but this version was prepared just right. It was a first for Sandy, who thoroughly enjoyed smearing it on warm pita. We enjoyed the falafel so much, we orPeking Inn: 20th St. and Penrose Ave., 215-271-1389, $$

dered it as an appetizer ($4.95) and quickly polished them off. They were crispy and free of grease on the outside, creamy with pureed chickpeas, parsley and spices on the inside. Since it was a bitter cold night, I warmed up with a generous bowl of homemade lentil soup ($3.95), which was rich with diced carrots, celery and onions. It packed quite a punch. Perhaps a bit of harissa made its way into the soup. It was so piping hot, I waited a few minutes for it to cool down. Kofta are often served as an appetizer but Al Zaytouna offers these small, cigarshaped seasoned ground beef beauties as a platter ($12.95). Sandy, who ordered the chicken shawarma platter ($10.95), could not believe the amount of food on one plate. The platters are so generous that two people could share one. The kofta, which were nicely charred on the outside, emitting a smoky flavor and aroma, were as fine as I have tried in many Middle Eastern places. My dinner included a big pool of hummus; rice tossed with carrots and peas as well as grilled onions and red peppers; and a tossed salad. Sandy’s dinner consisted of a large chicken cutlet pounded thin, charcoalgrilled and cut into small pieces. It lacked eye appeal because the smoke of the grill gave the chicken a grayish hue but the flavor was spot on. It was a tad spicy and married well with the rice and hummus. Unfortunately for us, the restaurant was out of its merguez sausages that went to a catering client that evening. The own-

er suggested the lamb kebob sandwich ($9.95). Edward said the lamb was as tender as marshmallows. Cubes of grilled leg of lamb made their way into a large piece of warm pita, topped with lettuce and tomatoes and rolled up like a carpet. As with all of the meats we tasted here, the lamb was perfectly seasoned. Sandy never tasted a chopped salad, so we ordered one for the table ($5.95). Tiny dices of seedless cucumber, sweet onion, tomatoes, green peppers and sweet red onions were tossed with olive oil and lemon juice and topped with tiny black and green olives. The salad was simple, fresh, light and fragrant. Since the platters were so generous, much of our dinners were carefully packed to go. The hummus was placed into a heavy, plas-

ast week, Paula Deen, the deepfried queen of unhealthy eating, announced she has Type 2 diabetes. She has made a fortune with her down-home, sugar-coated Southern drawl and addiction to lots of butter, cream cheese, mayonnaise, processed foods, salt and sugar in her everyday diet. Obesity is the overwhelming cause of Type 2 diabetes. Barbara Walters chastised Deen when she wrote a kids' cookbook telling children it was OK to eat cheesecake and chocolate cake for breakfast. Author/chef Anthony Bourdain is appalled by Deen’s work. Several months ago, he said “I would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it’s OK to eat food that is killing us.” Deen went on national television last week telling us folks it’s OK to eat certain foods “in moderation.” I guess she got her alarming wake-up call. This could be too little, too late. During an appearance on “Top Chef All-Stars,” Deen told the chefs if it’s food, you can fry it. She's fried macaroni and cheese, lasagna and balls of butter. Obesity is epidemic in America. There is much blame to go around. Television programs, like Deen’s, and commercials are doing America a great disservice.
but I always use whipped cream cheese because it is so soft, I can use much less. Greek yogurt has become a staple in our home. U.S. sales are souring to such heights, a Greek yogurt plant in Sullivan, N.Y. has to expand, look for larger quarters, hire more employees and more dairy farmers. New York cows are going to be very busy, indeed. During an episode of “Top Chef D.C.,” White House chef Sam Kass was the guest judge. His mission is one he shares with first lady Michelle Obama. They want to eliminate childhood obesity in one lifetime. Top Chef winner Kevin Sbraga took plain yogurt, put it into a whipped cream container and fooled middle school students into thinking it was whipped cream. He squirted it on cubes of fresh fruit. Another team made coleslaw replacing nearly all the mayonnaise with yogurt. It worked. The kids loved it. I now make My Coleslaw with Greek-style yogurt.

Madison Avenue targets gullible kids and nutritionally-ignorant moms. Would you pour out a bowl of Lucky Charms for your kids? How about giving kids lots of sugar and processed ingredients in the form of Pop-Tarts for breakfast? Supermarkets are no better. Why do you think managers stock sugar-rich processed cereals on the lowest shelf? Simple! It’s easy for a three-year-old to just pull it off the shelf, tell mom “I saw it on TV and I want it now.” If Mom has any sense, she would reach for oatmeal and cream of wheat in the winter and healthy dry cereals during the warm weather months. America’s kids also are deficient in Vitamin D. Why? They stay indoors and play video games instead of riding their bikes in the sun and they don’t drink much milk. The big boys in their cushy ad agency jobs push sodas and Kool-Aid. To be fair, there are some commercials that hail the virtues of healthy eating. Kashi Cereals, Quaker Oats and Greekstyle yogurts made without the sugary fruit on the bottom come to mind. I now write in defense of Southern cuisine because much of it is not fried and not prepared with lots of salt, fat, sugar and processed ingredients. I have several Southern cookbooks in my home library that contain recipes for dishes prepared with real ingredients. Substituting a healthy ingredient for one that puts on the pounds is not difficult. I always purchase corn tortillas instead of those made with white processed flour. Sure I love a light schmeer of cream cheese on my bagel before topping it with nova,

August 18, 1991 • January 17, 2009 Butterfly as you danced in the light with joy love lifted you. As you brushed against this world you so gently, you lifted us. Our precious Saige Angel, with your beautiful smile and warm embrace, you gracefully danced into the lives and hearts of those you’ve touched. We cherish each and every moment that GOD allowed you to be in our lives. Three years has passed since your journey has begun in Heaven, and even though you are not here, we all continue to feel the love and happiness that you have forever bestowed upon us all. If love and love alone could bring you back, you would be with here with us today. Until we meet again our precious Angel you will forever be in our hearts… Love, Mommy (Mims), Daddy, Lil’ Bro Blake, Nanny Sirolli, Aunt Ishy, Uncle Sherm, family and friends.

Athletes with local ties are filling starring roles for their respective Division I squads. By Bill Gelman Review Editor
W
hen talking Philly college basketball, the La Salle Explorers traditionally have struggled in the headliner department. But a quick glance at the Olney-based squad’s current 14-6 record shouts out for some well-deserved attention, as the team finished the 2010-11 season three games below .500. Part of the current success can be attributed to two former standouts from Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., Earl Pettis, a 6-foot-5 senior guard, and Tyreek Duren, a 6-foot sophomore guard. Pettis, from the 1500 block of South 15th Street, is averaging 14.8 points per contest. Duren, who calls Yeadon home, is filling up the stat sheets with his well-balanced contributions of 14.1 points, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals each game. After playing George Washington University in a home bout that happened after press time, the duo is westward bound for a Saturday afternoon tussle at Duquesne University. Traveling slightly south on Broad Street, the college basketball spotlight is shining on Temple University senior guard and cocaptain Ramone Moore and his 13-5 Owls, who played in Charlotte yesterday after press time prior to a Saturday home matchup against St. Joseph’s University. The 6-foot-4 South Philadelphia High, 2101 S. Broad St., product currently is tied with St. Joe’s Carl Jones as the Atlantic 10’s leading scorers with 17.2 points per contest. The talk of the top teams in the nation
bounces the conversation to Upstate New York’s Syracuse University. The 21-1 Orange, formerly the No. 1 selection in both national polls, ranks No. 3. Locals Antonio “Scoop” Jardine, a Neumann-Goretti grad, and Dion Waiters, of Southern, are two key sparks of their mark. Jardine, of the 1800 block of South Taylor Street, has started all 22 games and is contributing 8.5 points and 5 assists to the winning formula. Waiters, a 6-foot-4 sophomore guard, is adding 12.5 points off the bench.

Another former Saint, however, isn’t letting the results stall his individual performance. Daniel Stewart, a 6-foot-7 sophomore forward from Upper Darby, is tied for a team best 12.9 points average and 6.9 rebounds a game for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference squad. Staying in the MAAC, North Jersey’s St. Peter’s College and Saints’ alum Lamin Fulton, a 5-foot-9 guard from the 1300 block of South 29th Street, is making solid rookie contributions for the Peacocks, as his 9.9 points a game ranks third-best. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said in the win column, as the team is 4-16. The last stop on this college basketball tour focuses on the University of Texas at El Paso women’s basketball team.
