outh Philly is still digging itself out of Winter Storm Jonas several days after snowfall ceased. And there was a lot: at the Philadelphia International Airport, the official measurement was 22.4 inches; the Lehigh Valley Airport recorded nearly 32 inches of snowfall; and most reports are declaring Jonas the fourthbiggest snowfall in 132 years of record-keeping. That doesn’t even touch the impact Jonas had on New Jersey shore towns like Atlantic City, Ocean City or Cape May, where flooding surged through coastal towns, yielding results not seen since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. But the main story that emerged af-

ter Saturday’s snowfall was plowing. On Tuesday, Mayor Jim Kenney’s communications team had reported that nearly 2,000 miles, or 80 percent of Philadelphia’s streets, were “passable.� They also swore that, by the end of the day Wednesday, almost 100 percent of streets would be “drivable.� On Monday and Tuesday nights, CAT tractors with front-loading backhoes were scooping up heavy loads of snow and dumping them into largecapacity tow trucks for relocation throughout Philadelphia (including near the Review offices on Oregon and West Moyamensing avenues). It seems one of the biggest piles of snow in the city, where tow trucks

were dumping large amounts of snow, is at the intersection of Broad Street and Washington Avenue. Loads of South Philly’s smaller residential streets were feeling neglected, too. On Sunday night, the 2000 block of Pierce Street was plowed, but the 1900 block was not. On Tuesday night, the block of Camac St. south of West Moyamensing Avenue was plowed while the stretch between Ritner and Porter streets was not. Throughout the weekend, as Philadelphians trudged in boots to bars and parks to play, many were in awe of wind-swept skinny streets that saw cars completely buried and two-foot-high snow filling the street.

Throughout Sunday, most of South Philly’s smaller streets were not only not “drivable� nor “passable� as many residents helped absent, aged or disabled neighbors dig out the sidewalks in front of their homes. And that’s not to say anything of the forever-fascinating South Philly tradition of trying to claim a parking spot that people cleared out as theirs forever (with a cone, chair, or in a few well-shared social media posts, outright threats with a sign that promises to break anyone’s windows who sneaks into their spot). #Savesies and #NoSavesies continue to be hashtags ASS -21$6 ^OUS ,,

to you, Mayor Jim Kenney. I can’t wait to see what great plans you have for us. God bless. Maria A. Russo South Philadelphia

One fell swoop To the Editor: I wanted to thank Bill Chenevert for the article that he wrote titled “Report cards for South Philly schools,� Jan. 14. As a public school teacher at D. Newlin Fell Elementary, it really helps to see that the hard work is paying off. It is, howev-

er, unfortunate that the community does not always see the fruits of our labor and tends to migrate towards the charter system. While discussing the article with my peers, we were trying to understand how the school ranking system works. We understand a portion is based on testing scores, but that emphasis is also placed on improvement. Some of the charters did not report testing results from three and two years ago. While I understand the process has only been more recently implemented at those levels, it will be interesting to see changes over time. As an instructor, I can tell you my experience at this institution has been very different than that at other public schools I have taught at in Philadelphia. Without going into specifics, there’s a stronger sense of community with the parents and students in our region. The faculty seems to share a strong sense of camaraderie and strong dedication to the instruction process. We are proud of what we have achieved and maintained throughout these past years. I would like the opportunity to showcase the local achievement and take out an ad in the South Philly Review. As a local resident, I have a vested interest in sharing the Fell experience with my community.

This is what America is about, freedom. Freedom is not free; it is costly in lives and dollars. There is no dollar amount I know of that can replace a life. The real cost are those who died on both sides. The dollars mean nothing. Where the dollars do come into play are the dollars to care for those who came home broken and sick and those who came home in a box. How do we get these dollars from the American taxpayer? Congress sets dollar amounts to pay for war, to pay for those who come home in a box, plus the wounded. What about those who are sick and broken? Now we have a new set of rules for those who fought the war and lived. Legislative bills must be introduced and dollar amounts agreed on to pay for the needs of the sick and broken who came home alive. It can take years and more legislation. In the meantime, these sick and broken war veterans die off one by one with no resolve from our government who sent them to war. Many get little to no health care and no compensation. A perfect example is the Vietnam War, our War of Shame. I have often wondered, what if our Legislators were sent to war and had to defend themeselves just like our troops on land, sailors at sea and airmen in the sky? A novel thought indeed!

To the Editor: Congratulations, South Philly, you finally got it right with respect to our new mayor. In a short time, he has already reached out and showed interest in so many important phases like when our snowstorm was predicted, he made sure he appeared on local stations and covered all points dealing with parking, helping the homeless, and making sure people checked on neighbors and pets. It was so inspiring that I had to say “Thanks.� I’m sure he will bring South Philly back to where it was years ago. I hope the Mummers Parade will come back to South Philly, where it originated.

“I just hope we can find leaders who will stop all the global madness and help people who want to build up the world again to make it a better place to live. That peace is all I’ve ever wanted in my life.� Salvatore Lucifero, 1900 block of Jackson Street

To the Editor Since our elected U.S. Legislators, Congress and Senate do not to seem to care about our Vietnam War Veterans who are sick from the herbicide Agent Orange Dioxin, I can say I am not proud of our government in the manner in which our Veterans are treated. However, we did our job and did not question our orders. We believed the Vietnam War was to free a country from communistic oppression. “I’m excited. The caucuses should be especially interesting because people have to talk with one another and say who they’re for or against. No matter what, it’s going to be an interesting stretch of time.� Pat Newcomb, 2500 block of South Alder Street

n Jan. 21, police detained Jalonnie Gentry, of the 1800 block of South Bancroft Street, and charged him with multiple counts of criminal mischief, burglary, criminal and defiant trespassing, theft by unlawful taking, and theft by receiving stolen property. On that date, a resident of the 2000 block of South Cleveland Street said he came home at 6:40 p.m. to find someone had taken two digital cameras, an Apple iPod and its accompanying dock with speakers, and an Apple iPhone, with the individual having gained access through his bathroom window. An inhabitant of the 1700 block of Mifflin Street said that at 2:08 p.m. Oct. 10, he found his second-floor rear window open and the house in disarray. He reported missing a Fossil Watch, a Blue-Ray DVD player, a 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro, an Apple iPod, an LG tablet, Beats headphones, two bottles of liquor, a Columbia fleece, 50 BluRay DVDs, an iHome radio, and a Verizon 4G LTE tablet. In the third matter, complainants said they left home on the 1900 block of South Hicks Street at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 20 and returned almost seven hours later to find missing six designer watches, two bracelets, various identification and credit cards, a digital camera with a case, a white Samsung Galaxy Cell Phone, and $550, with the perpetrator having entered through a second-floor window. Finally, on Dec. 23, an occupant of the 1900 block of South Mole Street secured her home at 10:15 a.m. and returned at 12:45 a.m. the next day to discover her back door was unlocked and the second-floor bathroom window was open. She declared someone had taken a Dell laptop, a Nintendo Wii, controllers and their base, loose change, and a Fitbit. On Christmas Eve, detectives executed a search warrant at the home of Gentry, having developed him as a suspect four days prior for the first three incidents. They recovered numerous items taken in the above-listed burglaries, with positive identification of the goods leading to their return to the complainants. Gentry had not posted his $25,000 bail as of press time and awaits a Feb. 9 preliminary hearing.

Police are after a man who robbed a Southof-South eatery at gunpoint Sunday. The owner of Phoebe’s Bar-B-Q, 2214 South St., was closing his location at approximately 9 p.m. when the armed aggressor walked in and told him he would not shoot if he were given money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Following the exchange, the criminal left on foot, heading westbound on South Street then southbound on 23rd Street.

Authorities are looking for help in bringing to justice the person who burglarize a Southof-South store Saturday. At 12:28 a.m., police ventured to Bicycle Therapy, 2211 South St., for a report of a burglary, meeting with the store owner and an employee. The worker stated she was walking by the store roughly 8 minutes earlier when she noticed the front window to the store was broken out and a bicycle was missing from the location, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Detectives reviewed video that depicts an unknown individual breaking the window with a metal bar at 12:15 a.m. and removing the ride, walking westbound on South Street with the item. As of press time, they had not determined the offender’s gender but said he or she is of average build; wore a winter coat, possibly green, gray, or blue, with the hood up and face covered, and donned gloves.

vention for some personal matters. Before grabbing the Broad Street Line, I loved the serenity on the almost-empty streets. For every storm, there will always be a port, even if it is located in our hearts. 5) I have seen “Gattaca� too many times: I first watched this movie as my freshman year in college wound down in 1998, and I sort of liked it. Because cable shows maybe five different movies a month, I have partially or completely seen the film and “Ghostbusters� one million times since the start of 2015. Being essentially housebound last weekend, I saw “Gattaca� two more times and even felt compelled to watch some of it through On Demand, with the final glimpse causing my son to say “Again, Daddy?� 4) Empty supermarket shelves are eerie: Since I chose not to buy bread, milk, and eggs Friday or Saturday (Someone must really explain the Doomsday philosophy that many people have formed with these items at the center.), I ventured out to buy some stuff on Sunday, finding mostly empty shelves with respect to that trio. Fortunately, I needed other stuff and made my cart quite content. 3) John Hughes was gifted: The end of the year always finds “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,� “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,� and “Home Alone� in heavy rotation, but the man’s catalogue wins my favor no matter the time of year. I watched all of “Uncle Buck� and part of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off� on Sunday and found myself pining for “Career Opportunities,� “Dutch,� and “Curly Sue,� too. Rest in peace, Mr. Hughes. My serotonin levels love you. 2) I miss playing with toy cars: Joining my son in devising names and narratives for his toy cars really took me back to my childhood when life, although filled with many uncertain moments, surely did not involve anything that a good car chase couldn’t alleviate. 1) I am yearning for the spring and summer: I said weeks ago within this publication that I feel people should not engage in leaping ahead too far in their thinking about what they want to experience. Well, I am guilty of some sort of hypocrisy, as I am yearning for the spring and summer. I foresee this as the most educational and important year of my life so far, and I want welcome weather to be my companion in that journey. Old Man Winter, thanks but no thanks.

did not storm to any store to stock up on bread, milk, and eggs ahead of last weekend’s snowstorm, so French toast preparation was not among my endeavors as 22.4 inches of our frigid foe fell from the sky. However, I found myself fortunate to do a ton of thinking and a little journeying outdoors, so I offer to you the top 10 things that I learned or which I found myself reminded of while Winter Storm Jonas jolted us. 10) Peyton Manning can still sling it: The Denver quarterback once again broke my heart as a New England Patriots fan, leading the Broncos to a 20-18 AFC Championship Game win and a trip to Super Bowl 50. I have never really admired him, even going back to his college days at The University of Tennessee, but the 39-yearold can still make mischief for defenses. Here’s hoping he tops the Carolina Panthers, too. 9) Hot chocolate can be a cure-all: Even hearing the words “hot chocolate� makes me do a great impression of Pavlov’s dog. When cold calls me to capitulate, I know hot chocolate will make me salivate and help me to rejuvenate. 8) I hate wind: Snow, who cares? Rain, please. Searing temperatures, fuhgeddaboudit. My kryptonite is wind, especially the brand that hits faces with such disregard for decency as a heavyweight fighter’s best blow. 7) I love my church: With many cancellations of all sorts of events on Saturday, I wondered if the Vigil Mass at the National Shrine of Saint Rita of Cascia, 1166 S. Broad St., would occur, as I had Eucharistic Minister and altar serving duties scheduled. When I heard the word that Mass would go on, I hopped the Broad Street subway and joined seven other brave and saved souls in countering our frequent winter plague with prayer. 6) Snow can be quite peaceful: Following Mass, I walked from Broad and Ellsworth streets to Broad and Morris streets, taking in the sites as I sought divine inter-

Coalition, and they have given us umbrella status, but we can’t open full-time until we raise $10,000 and we have until the end of February to do that.� Yarborough speaks of the vibrance of having “still and live art� and “having something really wonderful that’s going to enhance the neighborhood.� And she knows the neighborhood – she’s bornand-raised Point Breeze and resides in the home she grew up on the 2100 block of Cross Street. “It’s always been a healthy neighborhood, this was a vibrant neighborhood,� she recalled and Pandolfi and Yarborough can riff forever on what used to be where, how African Americans and Italians peacefully co-existed for generations, and how communication has deteriorated. “Something people don’t do as much anymore,� Yarboroguh said after citing the success of the Indego bike station at 1575 Point Breeze Ave. as a sign of good things coming to the avenue. Yarborough will bring jazz and blues artists to the space at least bi-weekly (admission will be a mere $10). Eventually, they hope, they may be able to introduce music classes at the space and adult classes, too. They also plan to try to lease some space in the basement for professional artist studios, another opportunity for young learners to witness professional artists making art from inception to completion. And to be clear, the co-founders aspired to offer free programming, but they’ll keep class prices and sizes low (15 students per class), and they’re working with other organizations to provide scholarships for students who would benefit from support. At Childs, Pandolfi caught heat for assigning political projects. At KIND Institute, there won’t be any limitations. “Here you can do that because it’s what the kids need to be, a rebel with a cause – stop being a rebel without a cause – fight for rights,� she said. Not unlike how Pandolfi, Kustrup and Yarborough are doing for arts in the lives of kids whose school district is stripping them from their buildings. “In elementary school, your brain is a sponge,� Kustrup noted. “It’s an impressionable age,� Yarborough concurred, before Kustrup concluded, “it’s a good age to give them moral groundings through humane learning.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

JONAS continued from page 1 that the Philadelphia Police Department Tweets out to discourage contentious altercations over parking spots. The School District of Philadelphia and the Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia closed school buildings on Monday and Tuesday, while Wednesday saw doors open. The hashtag #OpenInPHL became useful to South Philadelphians looking for a place to go for food and drink over the weekend, but even the most determined business owners called it quits, as staff members balked at the idea of making a blizzard voyage to serve a few customers with enough determination to make it out of the house. Northwest Philadelphia, Fairmount, and South Philadelphia seem to get hit hardest by small street neglect. And while East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association cochair Joseph F. Marino joked that South Philly’s long been the “stepchild of Philadelphia� when it comes to street services, he was pleasantly surprised this year: “I can’t really say that entirely [with regards to Jonas] because they did an amazing job on my street [, the 1900 block of S. Jessup St.], and the street behind me this morning,� he said Monday. MARINO HAD JUST spoken to WHYY about street cleanings and conceded that “the 311 system is just a failure.� Many other reports of snow problems, especially for seniors, saw accounts of being told by phone operators that complainants needed to file a report online (when many seniors don’t have such resources). “On my street we had several young guys help, including a guy around the corner who was delivering groceries on a dune buggy.� Marino mentioned that his civic co-chair, Darren Fava, who lives on the 1100 block of Emily Street, wasn’t as lucky – “they plowed half of the street, and there’s now a mountain of snow.� Sadly, that story didn’t seem like an anomaly, either. However, Marino found

some solace in the helpful nature of new residents in East Passyunk Crossing. “Sometimes the lifetime neighbors give the new neighbors a bad rap about being not as friendly or nice, and that’s just not true – it’s a misconception,� he said. “I think we’re slowly getting better.� Bella Vista Neighbor Association president Claudia Archer, of the 900 block of League Street, wasn’t surprised to see some streets un-plowed. “My personal feeling is that this was an extraordinary amount of snow and the city has limited resources with regard to staff, equipment and budget for snow removal,� she said, and updated SPR to report that on Tuesday morning, two “Bobcat drivers had Ž Parkway Central Branch: “Sacred Stories: The World’s Religious Traditions� through Jan. 30; Creating a 12-Week Major Gifts Campaign 10 a.m., E-Gadget Help Desk 3 p.m., The Roots of Fermentation 6 p.m. and Tessa Hadley reads from “The Past� 7:30 p.m. Jan. 28; The Global Goals 4 p.m. Jan. 29; Earned Income Tax Credit Day 9:15 a.m. Jan. 30; Baby and Toddler Story Time 11 a.m. and Monday Poets | M.

Lower Moyamensing Civic Association president Todd Schwartz had a similar experience but at SouthHouse, 2535 S. 13th St. He reported jumping out of his first-floor window to initiate clean-up mode, “which was not dangerous because I had four-foot drifts to break my fall. After the escape and shovel, my girlfriend and I went to a packed SouthHouse.� Ilene Wilder, president of the Columbus Square Advisory Council and resident of the 1300 block of South 13th Street, said “Columbus Park had a fun, impromptu snowball fight with parents and kids who’d built a snowball shooting range – they had such a good time.� Anthony Caroto, husband to Newbold Civic Association president Levana Layendecker, said their go-to bars, South Philadelphia Tap Room, 1509 Mifflin St., and American Sardine Bar, 1800 Federal St., were humming with cold-weather specials like biscuits and gravy or grilled cheese with tomato soup. “Both restaurants enjoyed steady business from regulars as well as neighbors who were looking to get out of their homes,� he reported. Lauren Leonard, who heads the Queen Village Neighbors Association board, offered some sage observations. Aside from a couple gripes about hopes for neighbors to understand the tall task the City undertakes after a huge storm and requests for more sidewalk-salting, she said “when the snow first falls, even as we’re in the heart of a blizzard, there’s a coming together of neighbors at the bar, walking dogs, picking up groceries. There’s a real sense of jovial community.� Then, however, she said “that fades fast and into self-centered anger. The view becomes incredibly myopic, and it’s every man for himself. Essentially, when it first falls, snow in Philly brings out the best in us; the cleanup brings out the worst.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

I went home and flicked on MSNBC, which I watch unless Jake Tapper is on CNN. Jake is from the Philly area. You can tell because when one of the candidates stretches the truth, he’ll turn to the side and sniff the air like a bird dog hunting for prey. I got a chance to see Sarah Palin endorse Donald J. Trump for president (candidates that top the polls are authorized to use their middle initial). Palin is perhaps the only person to use the term “pussyfooting� in endorsing a candidate, which makes her a sentimental favorite to be the Keynote Speaker at the GOP convention if Trump winds up the nominee. She managed to speak reportedly for more than 20 minutes while Trump stood by her on stage looking as if he were getting root canal work done. I see where a British investigation found that Vladimir Putin likely approved the poisoning of ex-Russian FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko. Maybe this is what conservatives in this country mean when they brag that Putin gets things done. He doesn’t have to go through any legislative body to approve a hit. No golf games with congressional leadership. No schmoozing necessary. Former President George W. Bush once said he peered into Putin’s eyes and saw his soul. And the wolves began to howl. Mayor Jim Kenney seems to be getting an awful lot of flack after being in office less than a month. National conservative broadcasters such as Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham and three different Daily News columnists expressed negative feelings about Kenney already, and that newspaper’s letters to the editor section has been devoted in good part to blasting the new mayor. It’s almost as if they were laying in wait for Kenney to take office. And, to an extent, they have. He is socially progressive in his politics. That doesn’t always translate well in the old working class neighborhoods from which Kenney came. He was being compared to the controversial liberal mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, by right wing talk show hosts even before taking office. Kenney returned Philadelphia to its status as a sanctuary city. I concede there are good arguments on both sides of that debate. But it was his brief statement after Philadelphia Police Department officer Jesse Hartnett was shot by an assailant shouting he did it in the name of Islam that put Kenney on the hot seat. Look, his understandable mission at that moment was to squelch quickly any outburst of violence against innocent Muslims. He was in office a week when he spoke. Patience. Your new mayor deserves it. SPR

s I am writing this, forecasters are predicting a snowstorm for our area. Someone did a study on the items most people rush to buy in anticipation of snow. Things like bread, milk, and eggs. The analyst concluded that folks were buying the ingredients that could be used to make French toast. I could go at least 50 years or so without eating French toast. I write that with no disrespect for the French or for toast in general, which I like. But one could strand me for a long time before I would plead for French toast. What I did was run to Claudio’s Specialty Foods on 9th Street for grated Locatelli cheese. If you manage your household properly, you will never allow it to run out of Locatelli. There is nothing worse than to place some steaming bowls of al dente pasta on the table only to find out that you’re out of this goodie. For those left unfulfilled, without good macaroni cheese to put on their pasta is to be left with the sawdust they sell for cheese in a local supermarket. It’s almost like depending on Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan to take care of your water supply. So I found myself in Claudio’s where I sometimes go just to stare at the various wedges of cheese. I ogle the wedge of prima donna and the aged asiago as if they are beauty pageant contestants and I am a judge. That taleggio has a saucy look today, but that ricotta salata looks awfully fetching. One of the counter folks had just mentioned to a female customer standing near me that Claudio’s is closing for a short while to do a bit of remodeling. A man said, “Eh, we’ll probably have to pay more for the cheese.� The Claudio’s guy replied, “No, just you and certain other people.� Maybe the conversation wasn’t exactly out of a witty Noel Coward play, but there’s something that I call Italian cheese humor, and you’ve got be there to appreciate it. When the woman heard Claudio’s would be closing for a bit of time, she seemed to go into cardiac arrest until one of the employees offered her a business card and told her to call around Feb. 11 to be sure the store was open. She was still breathing heavily, but the worker assured her she would be alright. That seemed to calm her. The woman explained she wasn’t worried about herself being without Claudio’s for a week or two, but she was worried about her family. Of such self-sacrifice are legends made. I’m sure her family treats her well on Mother’s Day maybe with a fresh mozzarella Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella. ball or two.

Speedy Beady A Marconi resident will continue to revitalize a Philadelphia Navy Yard-situated entity through its annual awards dinner. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

or every believer of sentiments such as “It’s a dog-eat-dog world� and “Nice guys finish last,� one would hope to find someone like Christine M. Beady, who prefers to promote the sensibility of selflessness. On Feb. 3, the 42-year-old executive director of The Chapel of the Four Chaplains, 1201 Constitution Ave., and fellow followers of the belief that altruism benefits all will gather at the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 for the 48th annual Four Chaplains Day Awards dinner. “My heart is here,� the resident of the 2900 block of South Carlisle Street said from her Philadelphia Navy Yard-based workplace. “Being affiliated with this chapel and our memorial foundation is to know that we can’t afford to waste time thinking only of ourselves. We must constantly acknowledge how much others need us.� The Marconi occupant will celebrate her fouryear affiliation with the chapel Feb. 7. The space commends the quartet of clergymen who gave their life jackets to USAT Dorchester passengers when the vessel became a Feb. 3, 1943 torpedo casualty and honors the rest of the dashed ship’s personnel. A staunch proponent of the story’s advocacy for placing others before oneself, Beady will mark next Wednesday as an occasion to continue to curb the advances of “me-first� attitudes that often trouble contemporary society. “The focus isn’t on me, and it isn’t on you,� she said of her allegiance to learning the facets of focusing on communal evolution. “It’s up to us to better our neighborhoods and recognize each of us has wonderful contributions to make.� The lucid leader will welcome as many as 200 people to the Northeast Philly-situated ceremony, a total that would mark a fivefold increase on the 2014 tally and a 40-person increase from last year’s event. Those figures and the growth of enterprises such as the Legion of Honor and scholarship program stand as huge accomplishments

that have occurred during her tenure, but Beady banishes any suggestion that she should brag. “Yes, the chapel was in some financial and organizational trouble when I came aboard, and there were doubts about its sustainability and future, but I’m just someone who has worked to keep this amazing location, which I see as a cemetery for those who perished that night, going strong,� she said. “Our mission has always been to recognize ordinary people who do extraordinary things, and I love that I can help that desire to thrive.� With two Gold Medal recipients and a Humanitarian Award victor heading the present’s nod to the past and offering trust in a prosperous future, Beady figures to find ample examples to back the foundation’s “Unity without Uniformity� motto as a harbinger of continued maturation. “Education is a huge piece of my life,� she said. “Each day I come to my job, I’m looking to become a little bit better at making people aware of our background and our plans for years to come. The disaster that inspired the formation of our foundation (by President Harry S. Truman) occurred almost 73 years ago, but in today’s times, when it’s easy to neglect the needs

of others because we’re so adamant about gratifying our own wishes, it’s a fresh reminder that there are many opportunities waiting for us if we choose to shine our lights.� THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE first fell for finding fulfillment through teamwork as a South Philadelphia High School Business Academy registrant. Coming of age on the 2200 block of McKean Street, she aspired to become a better student of the world and came to tab Martin Nock, president and chief executive officer of Communities in Schools of Philadelphia, and Ilene Merlino, Director of Operations at Philadelphia Academies, Inc., as influential beacons who helped her luster to grow. “They fine-tuned my passion for getting to know people and gave me insights on how I could go about becoming a leader,� Beady said. “In every endeavor for the chapel and the foundation, I want to stand tall and represent the organization well.� Deeming the City of Brotherly Love a perfect spot for amplifying appreciation for history, diversity, and integrity, she attended Community College of Philadelphia and Peirce College, completing the latter’s 18 courses in 16 months.

With prospective articles on the venue’s ascension as an upholder of benevolence, a likely lengthy lease extension from the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corp., and parish status whenever The Navy Yard adds residential units, the 2014 South Philly Review Difference Maker, relatives, and board members have kept hope afloat and are excited about preserving the memories of chaplains George L. Fox, Alexander D. Goode, Clark V. Poling, and John P.

hopes to secure her master’s through the Center City higher learning location and to obtain a doctorate in nonprofit management and operations, she engages in daily reflections on education’s potency, a practice that makes her present position all the more rewarding. “It’s so easy for some people to forget the past and not try to make connections between what is going on today and what sacrifices people made to help us to be here,� the vigilant overseer, whose preChaplains employment at Steppingstone Scholars united her with Philadelphia region youngsters and their families in the pursuit of “academic success, opportunity, and a college degree,� said. “In this line of work, I am always staying on top of nonprofit trends because, along with networking, it’s very important to be a bearer of the value of forging healthy bonds with work that reminds us of how we’re to lean on one another for guidance and support.� Beady shares those blessings with her husband, Brian, and their two children. The trio and sister Michelle Nolfi, the location’s other employee, help to make the chapel a thriving destination for lovers of the past and lauders of the future, including those who have held their nup-

Rob’s Vegan Chili

W

A quizzical look

e could surely use a dose of welcoming weather akin to what we received late last month, couldn’t we? The Philadelphia International Airport reported that 22.4 inches of snow ensnared us over the weekend, and though we are unlikely to have to contend with another storm of that caliber, we should always make dietary preparations that include more than feverish trips for bread, milk, and eggs. Rob D’Emilio Sr. beats back the bitter blues with his Vegan Chili, taking such pride in the creation that he submitted a photo of his masterpiece. Why settle for only Meatless Mondays when you can emulate the resident of the 1300 block of Reed Street and regularly make vegetables victorious? SPR

rench children are sometimes given radishes with butter or pain perdu, which means “lost bread,â€? but is actually French toast, as an afterschool snack. Some may think radishes with butter is strange, but I first sampled this appetizer in France, and it is actually quite tasty. Grilled radishes with cultured butter served with sea salt made in Cape May is among the hors d’oeuvres on Chef Scott Schroeder’s inspiring menu at Hungry Pigeon, his newest restaurant located in Queen Village. The space is open, airy and perfectly lit. When The Beatles began to serenade the diners, I had the feeling we were in for a fine meal. The aforementioned radishes ($6) were served room temperature, just as Fred the bartender advised. I could have eaten two servings. We sipped a rye Manhattan and a martini as we dove into chopped chicken liver on rye ($7). All the breads are baked at Hungry Pigeon. The chopped liver is more akin to small pieces of sautĂŠed treats combined with chopped, hard-cooked eggs. I make it more like a rough chop in the food processor, but this version was tasty nonetheless. Cured organic salmon ($7) had a bit of a pickled kick, which I liked. It reached us on poppy seed matzoh, a first for me. I liked the contrast of flavors in this starter. The small plates are not that small. Two people can easily feel satisfied. If there is an award for a tasty new creation, it is Schroeder’s goat stroganoff ($14). Tender strands of seasoned goat received a bath comprised of a sauce of local goat’s milk with a touch of mustard and served over egg noodles. Schroeder came into the dining room and recognized me. He sent a basket of bread and cultured butter to us, which was a good thing. We scraped every bit of sauce with pieces of bread from this course. This dish was the most intriguing plate of food I have enjoyed in months. I felt a bit of seafood was in order. One of my favorite seafood appetizers is a plate of steamed soft shell clams with drawn butter. Schroeder’s steamers ($15) were littlenecks, which are tiny but tender. The sauce hit the mark. They were nestled in a bowl of sauce prepared with ginger, garlic, peppery watercress, which is an underused green in area restaurants, and a touch of chili oil. It was comforting to learn that the dish was not over-the-top hot. The spice was just right. More bread was in order to mop up the well-balanced sauce. A bottle of Cotes du Rhone ($44) was selected

from the list. Patrons can also order wine by the glass. Pigeon is not yet on the menu. When it appears, I am going for it. I enjoyed it in England done with a bread sauce, which is classic. Diners can request braised chicken, but we were in the mood for good old-fashioned pot roast for two ($40). The beef is from Rineer Family Farms and was grass-fed. Grassfed beef has a strong, fine flavor, which I prefer. One pound of beef was braised to perfection in red wine and the beef’s natural juices. It was served with a potato-turnip puree that imparted a lovely, slightly sweet flavor. The pot roast just melted on the fork and in my mouth. It had an almost creamy texture that occurs when less tender cuts of beef receive a proper braising in liquid. The pot roast was served with Zayda’s horseradish. “Zayda� means grandfather in Yiddish. It could be a brand of horseradish or it could be Schroeder’s sense of humor at play here. I bet he prepared it himself. The restaurant was filling up as we were finishing the pot roast. The acoustics were just fine. We could actually hear our conversation. Hungry Pigeon is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I must make a brunch visit soon. Fred brought us a thick slab of homemade decadent chocolate cake with a glass of milk. It tasted much like the homemade chocolate cake with bittersweet chocolate icing my mother baked and I enjoyed as an after-school snack when I was growing up. Kudos to baker/pastry chef Pat O’Malley. Four tips of the toque to The Hungry Pigeon. SPR

ife never stops presenting one with choices, especially with regards to selecting a dining experience in South Philly. Fully mindful of the value of diners’ time and the rewarding ease that an exchange with a patron could produce, T De Luca has worked hard to make Ti Penso, 2108 South St., a destination for feasting on fine good and imbibing the milk of human kindness. “I always prefer being personable to being transactional,� the 41-year-old said from her sevenmonth-old New American establishment. “In fact, we refer to our guests as ‘friends’ because we want to share with them and show respect for their presence on this earth. We don’t need or want any whiff of pretentiousness here. We simply want to help to make their experience amazing.� The Port Richmond inhabitant, who formerly co-helmed her neighborhood’s Hinge Cafe, makes that most evident through her space’s name, Italian for “thinking of you.� Lauding food’s ability to establish bonds and even interrupt military conflicts, she has received regard from Zagat, which tabbed Ti Penso a “Noteworthy Newcomer,� and her evergrowing list of acquaintances. “I feel gratified, grateful, and inspired that people are embracing what I’ve done and am seeking to do,� De Luca said. “Everything’s about survival, so when they decide to come in here, I’m giving them my all.� With 26 seats eager to welcome winter frequenters and 34 spots available when the patio opens, the chef/owner loves the intimacy possible each day and esteems chances to learn of their lives and offer parts of her story. That tale involves a strong pull toward baking, an inclination that inspired the sharing of her Peanut Butter Cake Bites recipe. “I designed it just for this restaurant,� De Luca said, noting its “meltability� as a point of pride. “Food doesn’t need to do a dance number to be effective, and I think these bites help me to take my passion and mix it with love and joy. “

DIRECTIONS: Let the cake rest until cool. In a large mixing bowl, crumble it into small pieces, and combine with the cream cheese. Manually bring together until the cake forms into a fudge-like texture. Lightly coat a nine-by-13-inch baking sheet with a non-stick spray, and press the cake mixture into the pan until completely filled with even depths all around. In another large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and salt. Whip the peanut butter and butter together in a mixer, and use a mixing spatula to fold the peanut butter mixture into the sugar mixture until completely combined and smooth. Use an eightinch slotted cake spatula to spread the peanut mixture on top of the cake until completely filled. Use a wood skewer to apply punctures approximately one inch apart into only the peanut butter layer. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. Raise the temperature to 350, and bake for another 10 minutes or until the peanut butter begins to brown slightly. Let cool completely without refrigerator placement before adding the chocolate. Place the chocolate into a medium-sized bowl, and set aside. Use a candy thermometer to heat the heavy cream to 175 degrees in a sauce pan. Pour the cream over the chocolate, and let sit for a few seconds before stirring. Slowly stir until the chocolate is fully melted and creamy. Once united, let the chocolate sit until cooled to 90 degrees. Mix the chocolate again, and pour onto cooled peanut butter cake. Spread the chocolate evenly with the slotted spatula. Use a double boiler to melt white chocolate until smooth and spreadable. Add it to a piping bag, and garnish chocolate top. Add to refrigeration to let chocolate top set, approximately 20 minutes.

hose who rely on their voice to fulfill their vocation often fall victim to histrionics, believing heightened execution of their lines, scripts, or the scenes before them will further their plans for glory more than they will delight observers. With respect to sports announcers, this scribe could easily offer the names of a few figures who, it seems, prefer hearing themselves to communicating thoughtfully, but Philadelphia personnel would not appear on that list. Residents have regarded many voices as reliable sources of insight, with Merrill Reese among the most revered. The 73-year-old Eagles’ play-by-play radio announcer will score a prestigious prize Monday as the inaugural recipient of the Bill Campbell Broadcast Award. “To receive any commendation is much appreciated, but to have something bearing his name is such a pleasure,� Reese said from Levittown, where he co-owns and serves as general manager for WBCB 1490 (AM). “He is the greatest broadcaster in Philadelphia’s history, and I’m very honored to be the first to accept the eponymous accolade.� The conferee will claim kudos through the 112th annual Philadelphia Sports Writers Association banquet. Set for

Cherry Hill’s Crowne Plaza Hotel, the ceremony will find Reese commended mainly for his 39 seasons as the Birds’ chronicler of clutch occasions and heartbreaking moments and collecting an award named after the man who, among other endeavors, gave play-by-play descriptions for the Eagles, Phillies, and 76ers. “His versatility was unmatched,� Reese said of Campbell, who died Oct. 6, 2014 at 91. “He was a tremendous interviewer, and I love that he would ask the questions, the probing inquiries, that I presume everyone would really want to ask. That took true professionalism.� Eventually his peer, Reese began as an admirer of the broadcasting behemoth, recalling venturing to Franklin Field to catch Eagles games and looking up to see how Campbell was conveying the gridiron narrative. Those observations combined with his childhood commercial work and communications and broadcasting studies at Temple University to help Reese to realize the severity of his attraction to detailing action, with football, his greatest boyhood passion, proving the prevailing pastime. “Growing up, I played baseball, basketball, and football, and, yes, I had dreams of throwing the winning touchdown pass in a big game, but I knew that was not going to be my destiny,� Reese said. “When I look back on what has become of my life through my devotion to sports, I’m very happy and by no means am I less enthused about the tasks at hand. In fact, I love knowing about all aspects of the game and really becoming a student of the efforts of the players and coaches. I appreciate having the opportunity to do what I do, and to do it here in Philadelphia is thrilling because this is my city, and this is my team.�

Photos Provided by The Philadelphia Eagles

THE PHILADELPHIA NATIVE graduated from Overbrook High School and broadcast all three of his childhood interests while at Temple, with Big 5 hoops tilts among his assignments. Public affairs officer duties for the United States Navy occupied him upon graduation, with WIP securing his talent after stints with WHAT and WWDB. The station’s 1977 decision to make him the voice of the Eagles has bred continuous admiration for their diligence and the persistent passion of their fans. “Because of my personal and professional connection to this franchise, I certainly have a rooting interest in what the club does,� Reese said, giving a nod to management for installing Doug Pederson as head coach. “Philadelphia always wants a winner no matter the sport, and when it comes to the Eagles, you just know that people want to see them become champions.� Tabbing his gig as “the ultimate job,� the much-imitated announcer finds himself fortunate to have given eager ears descriptions of miraculous comebacks, complete blowouts, and hard-fought decisions over division rivals. As in most fields, he knew he would have to head wherever an opportunity would arise and counts himself blessed to ply his trade in his home turf. “I’ve had opportunities to go, but this is where I’ve always wanted to be,� Reese said of his South Philly-centric deliveries. “I thoroughly respect the fan base and experience the same senses of elation and suffering that they do. I think this team is approaching greatness and that cementing a deal with Sam Bradford is important because he can be a very good quarterback, and that’s a must in this era and will continue to be.� The sage has proven much more than a “very good� performer himself, as his

WBCB biography makes evident. Other positions include a 14-year run as WIP’s sports director, University of Pennsylvania football chores, on-camera host and play-by-play voice employment for ESPN’s “NFL Dream Season� and Madison Square Garden Television tasks with Billie Jean King, the final element aligning with his fascination for World Team Tennis. Numerous plaudits have preceded Monday’s distinction, including frequent selections by the National Association of Sportscasters and Sportswriters as the Pennsylvania Sportscaster of the Year, Selected Radio Broadcaster of the Year and Selected Person of the Year merit from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters and Broadcast Pioneers, respectively, and the receipt of the Lindsey Nelson Award for Excellence in Sportscasting from the All American Football Association. Add enshrinement in the Overbrook High School, Pennsylvania Sports, and Temple University Communications halls of fame, and one could contend that the man has won enough recognition so as not to tout his latest laurel as a huge deal, but Reese tackles that notion for a loss. “Bill and Jo were like an uncle and an aunt to me,� he said of Campbell and his bride, whose daughter, Chris, will present the award. “I miss him constantly because he was simply the best. He took what we do and helped to make it an extremely rewarding line of work. I’ll always treasure our bond.� SPR
