t’s been a slow but steady last eight days of fanfare leading up to a son of South Philadelphia’s bid for the highest office in the City of Philadelphia. But as of this week, it’s official. Nowformer City Councilman at-large Jim Kenney, an Irish American Mummer and son of a firefighter,

is poised to make an earnest run for mayor. Resigning from City Council to run for mayor is part of Philadelphia’s charter rules: no Council person can run for mayor until he or she quits. Last Tuesday, Kenney invited the press to his office in City Hall to report that Thursday, Jan. 29 would be his last day in Council after 23 years of service. “I’ll be resigning on Thursday, and I’m not go-

ing to be able to tell anybody here what I am going to do after Thursday, because I would then run afoul of our City Charter. Clearly, a resignation is a big step, and it shows that I have some intentions on following through on what people have been speculating about,â€? Kenney told a room full of reporters. “Even though I come from South ASS 93<<3G¸A @C< ^OUS ,,

To the Editor: Want to thank Bill Chenevert for his piece, “To charter or not to charter,� Jan. 29. Bill lays out quite clearly the charter school debate: only a few charters are doing well, it’s all about the money, the schools and those who own them are politically connected, there is little oversight of these schools and I would add one more problem. With public money, we are creating separate but equal schools along racial lines. Think about it; the children go to their “local� charter school. Before the city approves any new charters, these issues need to be addressed. My recollection is that charter schools were first started by private industry. Say Google was willing to flip for the bucks to start a computer school or Johnny Dougherty wanted to start an electricians high school rather than funding political campaigns with millions of dollars. When did it change that these schools were funded with public money to be “super public schools�? I don’t think they’re living up to the hype.

It doesn’t seem that there is any oversight of the public’s money. I read an article yesterday on philly. com that the founder of a charter “allegedly� stole $6.3 million dollars from her charter. How? This happens more often than not. Even if the money is not being stolen, the owners of these schools are making a bundle. I read several years ago that the fellow who owns “the� charter school in Chester, makes a salary (I’m sure he has a generous contract). He owns the property on which the school is located, so the school pays rent (what are rentals going for in Chester, multiple that by 20) from him. Finally, since he owns the school, he gets to keep the profits. (is this a conflict of interest?) I could go on and on, but you get the picture. No more charter schools until we have greater oversight. AbO\ZSg 7O\WS`W A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion

By Corey Carter

The American Heart Association says that for most people, shoveling snow may not lead to any health problems. However, it’s important to know how cold weather can affect your heart, especially if you have cardiovascular disease. People who are outdoors in cold weather should avoid sudden exertion, like lifting a heavy shovel full of snow. Even walking through heavy, wet snow or snowdrifts can strain a person’s heart. How does cold weather affect the heart? Many people aren’t conditioned to the physical stress of outdoor activities and don’t know the dangers of being outdoors in cold weather. Winter sports enthusiasts who don’t take certain precautions can suffer accidental hypothermia. Hypothermia means the body temperature has fallen below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It occurs when one’s body can’t produce enough energy to keep the internal body temperature warm enough, and it can kill a person. Heart failure causes most deaths in hypothermia. Symptoms include lack of coordination, mental confusion, slowed reactions, shivering and sleepiness. Children, the elderly and those

with heart disease are at special risk. As people age, their ability to maintain a normal internal body temperature often decreases. Because elderly people seem to be relatively insensitive to moderately cold conditions, they can suffer hypothermia without knowing they’re in danger. People with coronary heart disease often suffer chest pain or discomfort when they’re in cold weather. Some studies suggest that harsh winter weather may increase a person’s risk of heart attack due to overexertion. Besides cold temperatures, high winds, snow and rain also can steal body heat. Wind is especially dangerous, because it removes the layer of heated air from around your body. At 30 degrees Fahrenheit in a 30-mile wind, the cooling effect is equal to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Similarly, dampness causes the body to lose heat faster than it would at the same temperature in drier conditions. To keep warm, wear layers of clothing. This traps air between layers, forming a protective insulation. Also, wear a hat or head scarf. Heat can be lost through your head. And ears are especially prone to frostbite. Keep your hands and feet warm, too, as they tend to lose heat rapidly. Don’t drink alcoholic beverages before going outdoors or when outside. Alcohol gives an initial feeling of warmth because blood vessels in the skin expand. Heat is then drawn away from the body’s vital organs. 1V`WabW\O 1`Sea /[S`WQO\ 6SO`b /aa]QWObW]\

“I don’t take them. I believe in the body healing and more natural forms of medicine. If it was the last option and I’d definitely need to take it and there was nothing else for me, I’d take them, but I try to avoid them.� Almami Farma, Broad and Jackson streets

Many Americans don’t realize that some types of life insurance can provide “living� benefits as well. If you’re diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness you may be able to receive a partial death benefit payout* to spend on long-term treatment or care. Call me today to find out how.

Rebecca Clemento 215-271-8980

*The Accelerated Death BeneďŹ t may or not qualify for a favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. This depends on factors such as your life expectancy at the time beneďŹ ts are accelerated or whether you use the beneďŹ ts to pay for required qualiďŹ ed long-term expenses. If the Accelerated Death BeneďŹ t qualiďŹ es the BeneďŹ t will not be subject to federal income taxation. Tax laws relating to the Accelerated Death BeneďŹ ts are complex. You should consult with a tax advisor about how you can receive the Accelerated Death BeneďŹ t excludable from income under federal law. In addition, receipt of the Accelerated Death BeneďŹ t may affect your family’s eligibility for public assistance programs such as medical assistance (Medicaid), Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AGDC), supplementary social security income (SSI) and drug assistance programs. You should consult with social service agencies concerning how receipt of such payment will affect eligibility for public assistance. See rider for terms, conditions, and restrictions.

Authorities are hoping surveillance footage can led to the arrest of a man who robbed a Lower Moyamensing establishment. At 7:15 p.m. Jan. 17, the at-large figure entered Red Sun Food Mart, 2228 S. 12th St., and acted as if he were going to make a purchase. He then walked behind the counter to remove the cash register, which he emptied after walking to the 1200 block of Daly Street. To report information, call South Detectives Det. Bowdren at 215-686-3013 with DC#15-03-003588, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

2`WdS\ b] R`O[O Two men robbed a cab driver in Whitman last week. At 8:27 p.m. Jan. 27, the complainant met with authorities at Fifth and Shunk streets, telling them of a robbery at the point of a gun at 400 St. Michael Drive, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While situated at Broad Street and Oregon Avenue, he picked up two individuals who directed him to go to the eventual scene of the crime.

At 10:14 p.m., authorities headed to a property on the 1100 block of South Cleveland Street in response to a blaring burglary alarm, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They immediately observed damage to the rear basement window, a large-screen television in the rear yard and a male in the second-floor window. As they surrounded the location, the man allegedly exited the abode through the aforementioned opening and tried to leave the area by climbing on neighboring houses’ power lines. After a fall, he supposedly ran through an alley to escape, but authorities stopped him at the end of the block. Using a search incident to arrest, they recovered property belonging to the complainant from the offender’s person, leading to the arrest of 34-year-old

n Sunday afternoon, disk jockey Russ Ferrante’s black pickup truck crept up South Broad Street with nearly 75 South Philadelphians marching from Oregon Avenue to City Hall. They carried American and police flags and handmade signs that read “Thank You South Philly Police� and some that said “Police Lives Matter.� It was a rally organized by Carol Lanni’s Taking Our South Philly Streets Back titled “Support Our Police.� It was a mostly low-pitched event, save for Ferrante’s mood-elevating pop tunes. And while the country still feels the ripples of the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, Lanni stressed that it’s not about race — it’s about building safe communities and acknowleding that police officers will do a better job and go the extra mile if they feel encouraged and respected by the communities they serve. “They’re human beings. They’re running short-staffed because the city only gives them so many cars or officers for each district,� Lanni, a resident of the 2600 block of South Bouvier Street, said. “I believe the police are not getting the fair shake that they need. We all have to follow laws, and these guys are out there risking their life and limb daily, in hot and cold weather, with no guarantee that they’re going to come back [home].� She recalled a recent memory where she said “Thank you for protecting our community� and the officer who received the praise looked at her as if she had 10 heads. “I don’t think they get that,� she said, enough or often, anyway.

Nina, born and raised in Girard Estate and Marty McNulty, residents of the 2500 block of South 21st Street, noted that Lanni is like a sister to them. “Like anywhere else, you can’t leave your door open,� Nina said, adding “of course we support the police.� Delores Nichols and Maria Trujillo stepped outside of Criniti Ristorante Italiano, 2611 S. Broad St., to take in the rally with curiosity. “Absolutely — definitely� they said when asked if they support the police. “It’s a shame there’s not a better turnout,� Trujillo added. At the corner of Broad Street and Snyder Avenue, a moment of silence honored the gunfire-killing of Charles Thomas Knox, a 31-year-old who died on August 30, 1992 when the present-day Walgreen’s was a Roy Rogers.

o make the upcoming Bike Share initiative work more efficiently and have a greater impact, the Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities (MOTU) has partnered with a handful of organizations to make it a robust and desirable transportation option. One such partnership is with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP), which is using grant money to hire Bike Share Ambassadors and a Street Team this month. Along with being good news for pedestrians, cyclists and SEPTA users, it’s especially beneficial for Point Breeze. The diverse and growing neighborhood will be one of three areas of focus with BCGP’s Better Bike Share Partnership. The other two are in West Philly (focusing on Mantua and Powelton neighborhoods) and North Philly (near Temple University), with the three sections that get Bike Share Ambassador hubs targeted specifically for how Bike Share can benefit low-income Philadelphians. Better Bike Share Partnership is “a grantfunded effort to make Philadelphia the most equitable and accessible program in the country,� BCGP’s Katie Monroe, who is organizing and hiring folks as one arm of the City’s efforts to make sure Bike Share is easy to access for residents who can benefit from it most, said. “The BGCP piece of this effort is to do a robust public outreach campaign — how to use it, what it is, logistics, reasons to use it. I think we’re looking for people who are good at listening and can explain. It’s not about selling memberships.� In fact, she said it’s not about hiring ambassadors who’ll strong-arm Point Breeze residents into getting on bikes. No, “we would

love to be recruiting go-getters who have creative ideas about connecting. I don’t like using the term ‘convincing people to use it.’ It’s more about equal opportunity to decide if you want to try it.� To backtrack, Bike Share is already in more than 40 cities nationwide. It’s a system where users can pick up a bike at a station near their home and ride it across the city. Users have access to advanced technology Trek bikes on an hourly basis and deposit their bike at the station nearest to their destination. It gives users more flexibility of transit use — Point Breeze residents, starting this spring, will be able to grab a bike as soon as they wake up and bike to work in Center City without relying on a bus or train schedule. As MOTU chief of staff Andrew Stober said of the difference between the haves and have nots, “often transportation accounts for a greater percentage of expenses than higher income folks. We can put money back in those [lower-income] pockets that they’re going to spend on their families and neighborhoods.� The City is making a marked effort to make Bike Share’s effect on poorer neighborhoods a priority. “The simplest way to say it is we’re launching 20 stations in neighborhoods with a high percentage of low-income residents,� Stober added. “The Philly system will have a cash option,� Monroe noted, “an option where you’ll be able to sign up on the website, and you’ll get something that you can then take to a retail store and pay in cash there.� Stober stresses the cash option isn’t the only thing making Bike Share’s efforts to level the field of access special. “It starts off by just making sure that there are conveniently located stations for people to access it from their homes,� he said. Memberships, rates for which haven’t yet been released, will be monthly as opposed to annual, something unique to Philly’s Bike Share setup. Street Team and Bike Share Ambassadors applicants can report to bicyclecoalition.org to apply – the deadlines for application are Feb. 13 and 20, accordingly. “It’s really about letting users have control over how they financially use Bike Share,� Stober said. “We wanted to make a special effort to make sure that communities with lots of folks who stand to benefit the most were getting extra resources to help connect them to this new system.� +(*

Kenney’s been a vocal advocate for those less fortunate, including immigrants, the poor and LGBT folks, vouching over a decade ago for domestic partnership benefits despite a mountain of letters of discouragement (and some Mummers jibes, too). “Back in the early ’90s, I was one of the first folks on board with domestic partnership. It didn’t make the Catholic Church all that happy at the time, and we had a big battle about those issues, but I think fairness is justice all the time, regardless of what the issue is,â€?

When city solicitor Ken Trujillo stepped down from his race, Kenney saw it as an opportunity to run that he couldn’t let slip past him, a refrain heard at his speech to City Council a week ago. But as Jane Slusser, Kenney’s campaign manager, put it, as soon as Trujillo dropped out, the conversation became about getting her employer in. “A number of folks from our team reached out to Kenney’s staff and vice versa. The response since he announced [he would resign] has been phenomenal — he can barely put down the phone to pick up the phone again,â€? the South-of-South resident reported, and argues that Kenney is a candidate whom people have been eagerly waiting for — one who’s ready to get down to issues. “Missing [from the race] up to this point is the lack of people who want to talk about the issues, and Jim is definitely going to change that,â€? she said.

@

oger Lee laments that contemporary chronicling of African-American lives often labors to locate much positivity. Hopeful that prosperous accounts from the past will promote pride, the former Bella Vista dweller and members of his eponymous dance company will offer their second annual Black History Celebration Concert Series tomorrow and Friday. “It’s easy to become caught up in technicalities, the anger and the frustration of recent events,� the 26-year-old said at the Philly Performance Art Center for Kids, 729 S. Fourth St., for whom he serves as an instructor and assistant director. “Even the overall history has ugly aspects, too, but I want to focus on the celebratory side because there’s strength to gain from that.�

The discerning dancer and his peers will laud the annals of their ancestors with a two-act, Performance Garage-situated look at themes such as the black church, freedom, integration and urban culture. Set to handle the second half of the production, Lee is looking forward to mixing elements of his repertoire to present the present as more than just the successor to distant days. “Members of the African-American community want material that has a connection to their lives and cultural experiences,� the overseer said of engineering his effort, which draws inspiration from his Drexel University-based graduate school research into forging connections between current times and the past. “I’ve always been enthused about such links, so I definitely desired to give people something to help their realizations.� Lee is using a fusion of contemporary, hip-hop, jazz and praise dance for his presentation, a decision that displays his love for having figurative colors as components of his endeavor. He has long worked with literal hues, having enjoyed a

childhood stint at Fleisher Art Memorial, 719 Catharine St., so he loves how his first attraction has influenced the growth of his present passion. “I love variety and see it as a way to create balance with an audience,� Lee said of cementing the feeling that he and his colleagues are indeed sating patrons’ cravings for relevant and reverent creations. “We definitely want to commend predecessors, but we also need to encourage viewers to revel in the present.� Two months shy of marking Roger Lee Dance, LLC’s third birthday, the entity’s namesake believes the upcoming offerings will prove dynamic and delightful, noting his joy over including a piece by Albertina Walker, the Queen of Gospel Music. Feeling fortunate to position himself as a leading figure in aiding Philadelphia’s dance evolution, he especially exudes gratitude that “the cold, hard world� that he foresaw encountering once he earned his master’s has become a warm and welcoming expanse. “I just want to keep coming up with honest ideas because I’ve always been a very real person,� Lee said. “When I consider what I’ve experienced, I see everything as a blessing.�

THE GRATEFUL INDIVIDUAL had initially felt his windfall would come through painting. Through the encouragement of his mother, Ruth, he sought and acquired placement on the FOX 29 Good Day Philadelphia Dance Team, obtaining co-captaincy, establishing tremendous relationships and expanding his perception of his artistic capabilities. “I really believed painting and illustrating were my callings,� Lee said, noting interest in Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo. “I haven’t lost my art love, though; it’s just that dance, particularly the teaching of it, has become such a powerful force for me.� As a registrant at the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., he intensified his pull toward proving his limbs’ proficiency, also gaining admittance into the Governor’s School for the Arts. Enamored with writing, too, notably journalism, having enjoyed a pair of internships, he chose media and communications studies as a complementary major to dance at Ursinus College. Fairly secure in his comprehension of the physical demands of dancing, he returned to Philadelphia to gain knowledge of the business aspects of his vocation, with Drexel heightening his regard.

“My time there confirmed that dance would be it for me,� Lee said. “It’s what God put in my heart, so I wanted to thrive.� Desiring “an adventurous life,� the ardent artist will likely make a biographer quite happy decades from now, as he has aligned himself with recording stars such a Ruben Studdard and Vicki Winans, performed for Vice President Joe Biden and taught for his alma mater, the Broadway Dance Center, Koresh Dance Co., the Philadelphia School of Dance Arts and The Rock School for Dance Education, 1101 S. Broad St., among others. He has also joined the collegiate ranks, having taught last semester within Temple University’s Dance Department and this year initiated a relationship with Eastern University through its Urban Studies Graduate Program. “Teaching has taken over my life, and I don’t mind that,� Lee said, adding he considers himself immensely blessed to instruct vibrant youngsters at Philly PACK. “I want to help students to have a healthy supply of know-how for when they go after their dreams.� He has used his time at Philly PACK to develop a cherished creative bond with director Jessica Noel, and he and the

Pennsport resident have looked to foster fortitude among their artistic peers by planning the inaugural Philadelphia Arts and Entrepreneurship Festival. “I see that as another way to keep in contact with tons of talented people and to meet even more dedicated folks,� Lee, the founder and executive director of the initiative, which he hopes to debut next year, said. “I want everyone to leave knowing more about this business. It’s been my experience that there are plenty of people with good ideas, so uniting them really appeals to me.� Lee also finds his personal projects captivating, including involvement with two March events, the Dancing for Our Future Stars gala for the Independence Mission Schools and inclusion in the Chicago-situated TEDx conference. “I want to keep going,� he said of his goals. “The spirit is definitely moving me.� SPR For more information, call 215-8336961, or visit danceboxoffice.com or rogerleedance.com.

here is a strong rumor that President Barack Obama is going to make a formal apology to his many critics tomorrow night on national television. Your fearless columnist has obtained an advance copy of his apology appropriately titled “Mea Culpa,� and I now share it with you: Good evening, my fellow Americans, especially the viewers of Fox News. I’m taking the unprecedented step tonight of apologizing to all of you who want your country back. The bad news is you’ll have to wait at least two more years. But tonight, I do wish to address all of your specific concerns and pledge to do a better job. First, let me admit I would not have sought this job at all if I had realized six years ago how much some of you were going to get upset. By defeating John McCain, I deprived all of you of the enjoyment of having Sarah Palin as your vice president. At the same time, I inadvertently deprived Tina Fey of a lucrative opportunity to continue her impressions so that maybe she would not have to keep hosting TV award shows. I also realize that in besting Sen. McCain, I deprived you of at least two or three more new wars and simultaneously of learning how to pronounce the names of some little known cities in the Middle East. I admit that if I had realized your chagrin in 2012, you could now be enjoying Mitt Romney as your president or at least 53 percent of you would be enjoying Mitt. Please accept my sincere regrets. I apologize for the lower gas prices you are experiencing. To the Republican flack who came up with the slogan Drill Baby Drill, perhaps I can get you a job in the post office or perhaps co-hosting “The View� like Nicolle Wallace. To those of you who believed that only the elimination of pesky federal regulations stands between us and a better life, I apologize for the improvement in our economy, the lower unemployment rate and a robust stock market. I know how much these things bother the Wall Street Journal and guys who wear pinstriped suits. I know that the Affordable Care Act — you derisively call it Obamacare — has rankled many of you. I hope the fact that the latest report indicates that the cost will be 7 percent lower for the next 10 years than we previously predicted will not impede

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` S d W S e Q ] [

the Republicans’ latest efforts at repeal. I’m sure that if Republicans are successful at repealing Obamacare and overriding my veto, that the voters who since qualified will not hold it against the Republican Congress when their children under 26 are dropped from their policies. And for those of you whose coverage would be taken away because of pre-existing conditions, may I suggest you refer these whiners to Paul Ryan. At this point, I want to give a special thanks to Mike Huckabee for his parental advice. I want Mr. Huckabee to know that Michelle and I have gone into our daughters’ iPods and deleted all the selections by Beyonce and Jay Z and replaced them with Flatt and Scruggs. To Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, I sincerely regret that you didn’t get the Republican president you wished for. Perhaps I can offer you a position in my cabinet, but I believe that you might be uncomfortable unless you are the one making all the final decisions. You are much like Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly that way. That is why tonight I am recommending a change to our Constitution to allow a non-citizen to become president of the United States — some of you think I already skirted that requirement (chuckle). Such a change should be fast-tracked so that Mr. Netanyahu can run in the Republican primaries. May I say, Florida is not in the bag, sir. While I am at it, I may as well admit that climate change is just something dreamed up by my campaign strategists in ’08. You were right to ignore all that so-called evidence being put out there by climatologists. Everyone knows they’re all Democrats anyway. And yes, I did have someone from the NSA hack into those computer weather models in Philly last week. It was my little joke, and I apologize tonight to Hurricane Schwartz, Kathy Orr and Cecily Tynan for making them all look like they are as crazy as John Bolaris. Now that the Super Bowl is over, I can admit that it was one of my staff members who deflated the New England Patriots footballs. I’m a Chicago Bears fan — a frustrated Bears fan. I can’t stand little Mr. Goody Two Shoes Tom Brady or Bill Belichick, who ought to get that sweatshirt washed sometime really soon. I admit it was an overreach of governmental power. I shouldn’t have done it. After all, the Patriots’ home is in Massachusetts and if there’s any state a Democrat doesn’t want to screw with, it’s that one that is always in the bag for us. I apologize tonight to all the good citizens of Massachusetts, and to their Gov. Charlie Baker, and also my friend Deval Patrick. Also to the Patriots organization and its fans — and especially to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who heaven knows doesn’t need any help from me to make an ass of himself. Good night and God bless the United States of America and especially bless Bill O’Reilly. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Diane (Anne Dorval), Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon) and Kyla (Suzanne ClÊment) explore youths’ perpetual need to call on experienced adults for guidance and inspiration. N 0g @ 9c`b =aS\Zc\R Movie Reviewer

/

lready one of the world’s most celebrated filmmakers at the age of 25, Xavier Dolan has wowed the art house crowds with a stunning, if short, body of work, which includes his boisterous debut, “I Killed My Mother,â€? his eerie noir “Tom at the Farmâ€? and his sweeping trans epic “Laurence Anyways.â€? Now the Quebecois director returns with “Mommy,â€? an aching portrait of a tumultuous bond between mother and son, and a film that presents Dolan at his most emotionally unbridled. An auteur with a masterful knack for giving plum roles to ace actresses, Dolan casts Anne Dorval as Diane, a single mother whose son Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon) is both her greatest love and her biggest burden. There are unmistakable Freudian elements to the plot of “Mommy,â€? but Dolan isn’t interested in merely dealing with obvious themes. Shot in amber hues and alternately confining and freeing aspect ratios, this is a movie about the nuances of obligation, liberation, imprisonment and loss. A wild card of erratic and often violent behavior, Steve prompts Diane to enlist the aid of her neighbor Kyla (the grand Suzanne ClĂŠment), a stranger who becomes Steve’s tutor and co-caretaker — and, more importantly, Diane’s only friend. Folding in his characteristic tapestry of formal exactitude, Dolan makes a tiny teacup carry the weight of a woman’s inadequacies,and a dance to a French-language Celine Dion track feel like a moment out of time. Known for his penchant for over-indulgence, Dolan may have done well to have shaved some time off this 139-minute dra-

ma, and a futuristic element regarding juvenile detention does feel a bit alien in this otherwise earthbound story. But it is hard to complain when a director of such vast, precocious talents seems to ooze precise, accessible and (seemingly) effortless high art. Via the stunning Dorval, he opens his empathetic heart where he used to navelgaze occasionally, and his masterstroke is making the union between Diane and Kyla perhaps feel more crucial than that between Diane and Steve. However profound, it’s a daring move to make, and yet Dolan’s viewers should expect nothing less.

Like “Mommy,� Sweden’s “Force Majeure� was a Cannes Film fest triumph, using a lean plot to navigate the flaws of a man and the drive for survival. What happens when an approaching avalanche causes a husband and father to save himself instead of his loved ones? The entire movie looks for answers and sees more than an avalanche cascade downhill. +(* Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

hocolate is the undisputed champion of February treats thanks to Valentine’s Day, but when one wants something with a similar reputation for contributing comfort, Kathleen Valle has an opportune option, her Strawberry Scones. Such treats have become popular coffee house offerings lately, but the Grays Ferry resident prefers developing her own in her home on the 2600 block of Dudley Street. While strawberry preserves are her choice, she said that any variety, even orange marmalade, will do. If marmalade wins out, Valle said to use orange juice in place of the halfand-half. SPR

uper Bowl Sunday turned out to be a fine day to go out for brunch. I called Bardot Cafe and asked if we needed a reservation. “No, we have plenty of tables available,� was the cheery reply. We drove by a number of places, and there was no line to get in. I assumed everyone was home cooking chicken wings and making dip. Bardot Cafe is named in honor of Brigitte Bardot, the French actress who was popular about 50 years ago. Located in Northern Liberties, the restaurant has a long bar, tables and several black leather roomy booths. I got a kick out of the red flocked wallpaper. A spicy bloody mary ($5) and screwdriver ($5) kept us content as we read the menu. The bloody mary was way too hot. The bartender made me another one that was spicy but not so hot that I needed a glass of milk to cool my throat down. Breakfast and lunch options are available. We began with chicken liver mousse ($10) and creamed chip pastrami ($7). The mousse was whipped into a creamy texture and shaped into two quenelles. Instead of cornichons and pickled onions, my appetizer came with shredded pickled carrots topped with chopped pistachio nuts. All I needed to do was spread the mousse on small slices of toasted brioche and enjoy. Creamed chipped beef, also known as SOS, was a staple for our GIs in training and in university cafeterias. Pastrami was an element of this dish, and it was a tasty 4Oab 0`SOY Celebre’s Pizzeria: 1536 Packer Ave., 215-467-3255, celebrespizza. com, $ Millie’s Luncheonette & Ice Cream: 1441 W.

surprise. The cream sauce was just right. It was not too thick and actually enhanced the flavor of the not-too-salty deli favorite that was placed on sourdough rye bread. Mushrooms and leeks are a fine culinary marriage. When properly sautÊed, they can be an appetizer or filling for an omelette. My mushroom omelette ($12) was golden on the outside and creamy inside. It was rolled like a carpet and not a bit overcooked. The mushrooms added a heady flavor, the leeks a bit of sweetness and some goat cheese was added for a touch of tang. The omelette had some cool spots because it was served on a cold plate. I asked our server, who was also the bartender, if I could substitute grits for potatoes. She said I could for $2. Everyone is using Anson Mills’ grits these days. They were served in a small cast-iron pan. Too much cheddar cheese was mixed into the grits, which could have been creamier. They were also too salty. A side of bacon ($5) hit the spot. A handful of overdressed, limp greens accompanied the omelette. Eggs Benedict ($14) is prepared with citrus-cured arctic char in place of Canadian bacon. I could taste the lemon and the char reminded me of belly lox from the deli. It imparted a slightly salty flavor, which I liked. The poached eggs were a tad overcooked and could have been hotter, but the hollandaise, rich and thick, added texture to the yolks. The English muffin was made in-house. Oven-roasted Yukon gold potatoes and a side of sausage ($5) rounded out this entrÊe. I found the sausage to be a little sweet. Coffee ($3.50) was strong and freshly

brewed. It was the highest price I ever paid for a cup of coffee in a neighborhood restaurant. Service was a little slow, but our server apologized for the wait. Bardot Cafe opened in August. Our meal was uneven, but I think with a little more care and attention, the establishment could be a fine addition to Northern Liberties.

f one were interested in altering phrases, Christina De Silva could inspire the transformation of “Good things come to those who wait� to “Good things come to those who are great.� Having recently commenced executive chef duties at Taproom on

19th, the industrious 21-year-old has already claimed ample kudos in her compact career and is approaching her rapid journey to responsibility with exultation and anticipation. “Initially, it was shocking to receive that title at my age, but I’ve come to believe that’s going to make everything easier as I continue to learn,� the resident of 17th and Moore streets said from the Girard Estate establishment. “I love knowing what people enjoy and giving them plenty of options.� The Newbold inhabitant developed her dietary curiosity as a Lansdale-based youth, with her parents proving pivotal in her 3fSQcbWdS 1VST 1V`WabW\O 2S AWZdO education.

at Taproom when he sought her as his sous-chef. “When he left here, I had some concern, but I concluded that I’d be ready for the challenges,� De Silva said. With Sicilian heritage and traditional French technique mastery courtesy of JNA, she finds herself presenting a different sort of cuisine, dubbed “upscale stoner food,� confessing an affinity for following co-owner Michael Strauss’ allegiance to regulars’ tastes. A colleague’s hunger, however, encouraged the creation of the Bonzo Burger, which has become a consistent seller. “I definitely wanted a nice vegetarian option but something with more than just vegetables to it,� De Silva said. “I like experimenting, so this is a menu item that I’ve come up with to establish trust between me and our customers.� Having recently received recipes from her mother, the young professional figures to add some of those dishes to her repertoire,

ly welcomed in customers to their latest venture — Me N Mo Meatballs and More (the grand opening is scheduled for Tuesday). After San Carlo closed in 2005, Sandro Frusone returned to his native land of Italy, but it turned out to be only a temporary move. That’s where he developed the concept for the 900-square-foot, 40-seat venture with his sister. With four decades’ worth of culinary expertise, the chef is ready to please customers with his freshly-prepared dishes, especially the hand-rolled meatballs that come in a number of flavors and sauce varieties along with house-made pasta dishes. “With 40 years of experience, I can do almost anything,� Sandro Frusone, who started working in the kitchen at age 14, said. The establishment includes a pasta-making station in the back where customers can spy on the chef hand-making the pasta. Pastamaking demonstrations and classes for grown-ups and children may be added in the not-too-distant future.

Meatball lovers can currently choice from six to eight different varieties of meatballs daily, including Buffalo Chicken. Talk about a tasty deal: Four meatballs (same style), one sauce and fresh baked focaccia is only $8. “They are really delicious,â€? the chef said.

game performance, in which he garnered MVP honors, validating his decision to let his career unfold gradually. “It definitely took us some time to come together last season,� McCall said of the prestigious campaign, which saw the Cougars advance to the quarterfinals of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association state tournament on their way to a 24-6 mark. “I actually think we’ve done a much better job of playing together this year, especially because we have strong seniors.� The upperclassman and his colleagues again became engaged in frenetic action as the third quarter commenced, with McCall picking up his third foul only 65 seconds in, leading the agile defender to make adjustments that actually freed up the other Cougars to hound the ball, with center

Tyere Marshall especially benefiting. The visitors built their first seven-point lead midway through the frame, but the Chargers electrified their supporters by making the waning seconds’ tally 33-32. A beautifully arched three-pointer from McCall made it 36-32 heading into the last session, with the multifaceted figure knowing he would need to call on all his skills to preserve the bulge. “We know that teams are looking to beat us, period, but because of the fact that we won the title, we know it’s even more important not to beat ourselves,� McCall said of the Cougars, who, behind 18 points from the local roster member, defeated Timber Creek, 59-36, in their Ben Franklin High School-based B2B Play-to-Play City Classic matchup Jan. 31 and who achieved runner-up status Dec. 30 at the Widener University-situated Pete and Jameer Nelson Holiday Classic. “I’m looking to get better because it’s the time when every play is going to matter a little more.� See-saw sequences saw the Cougars grab yet another seven-point lead, but the Chargers dwindled it to a deuce. McCall registered a steal that led to a nice bucket, but his peers could not push aside their Center City-based adversaries, who trailed 48-45 as the 6-foot star strolled to the foul line. “At that point, I was just thinking about one at a time,� McCall said of his first set of pressure-packed freebies. “When they went in, I still didn’t relax because I knew we had to play defense.� The Chargers could not counter, and McCall dribbled off five seconds from the clock. Earning another charity stripe trip, he drained two more heaves to cap his scoring. “I think I could have played better defense,� the ball hawk, who generated four steals, as many assists, two rebounds and nine points, said of his effort. “That’s something to fix for next time.� Set to open the defense of their title on Monday, the Cougars will need enhanced production from everyone, with McCall well aware of the central ingredient. “Heart,� he said. “If we want to repeat, we need to have heart.� SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Around basketball for most of his life, he cited numerous South Philadelphians, including Queen Village product and 2014 South Philly Review Difference Maker Lionel Simmons, a graduate of South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., as influences. Constantly looking to mold his game at such locations as Smith Playground, 2100 S. 24th St., and the Christian Street YMCA, 1724 Christian St., he confided that toughness and a desire to attack the basket became the immediate products of his diligence, but when he enrolled at the North Broad Street-located Mathematics, Civics and Sciences Charter School, he decided not to play his freshman year. Transferring to King, he sought to situate himself as a chief contributor to Colson’s corps of charges, with last year’s title-

;Q1OZZ ]T bVS eWZR ust when Jabri McCall and his Martin Luther King High School teammates seemed to have suppressed the will of Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter School Monday afternoon by building a late seven-point edge at the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., the proud hosts fought back to enliven their fans’ hopes for an upset. Thanks to four free throws from the 17-year-old resident of the 2200 block of McClellan Street, the defending Public League champion Cougars escaped with a 52-47 victory. “This was definitely a tough game,� the Point Breeze dweller said of the DivisionA duel. “We came in wanting to work on our chemistry and defense, so we’re happy to get the win, but we have some stuff to work on going forward.� The narrow triumph elevated King to a 16-6 mark and solidified its second-place league status with an 8-2 ledger, the lone losses coming to Constitution, whom it topped, 46-44, to take last year’s crown. Facing a foe with a 2-7 league record, the squad squandered a few chances to make the outcome drama-free, but regardless of the margin, McCall found fortune in the effort. “We have strong leaders on this team,� the junior guard said of coach Sean Colson’s unit. “We want to be there celebrating another championship, and we know we’re going to have to tough out some games to get that done.� Having charged past the Chargers 6345 on Jan. 8, the guests galloped across the Pennsport-situated court in the first quarter, with McCall scoring a bucket and tallying an assist, a rebound and a steal in helping his gang to a 13-11 cushion. A compelling back-and-forth battle ensued in the second, with the sharpshooter needing to head to the sidelines with a foot injury. Lacking much offensive variety, the Cougars could not roar their way out of inconsistent situations, so instead of letting his players ponder their play in solitude, Colson spent the early stages of halftime reviewing their efforts on the bench. “We’re not playing team basketball,� the leader said. “Guys need to step up.�

Brady’s bunch

es, I know that I will rile Philadelphia fans, but I am a huge fan of the New England Patriots. I have been so since 1989, when, as a 10-year-old, I began following football. I definitely took to the local teams, but the Patriots, who happened to go 5-11 that year (I hope that suppresses any bandwagon claims) just appealed to me. Through the ensuing 26 years, I have experienced many highs and lows, but Super Bowl Sunday certainly counts as my best experience as a fan of the Foxboroughbased athletes. Like any reasonable follower of any team, I went into the game thoroughly respecting the opposition. Because of my regard for the Seattle Seahawks, I wanted to celebrate a win that much more, and, yes, since I know how skilled the NFC representatives are, I supposed they would score late to take a 31-28 lead with virtually no time left. Call me Doubting Joseph for not believing the defense could prove as clutch as the offense! Thanks to Malcolm Butler’s interception, quarterback Tom Brady can revel in his fourth Super Bowl title since 2002 and I can fend off criticism for another season. It’s good to be king. +(* Visit southphillysports.wordpress.com/
