With Sunday having marked the 100th anniversary of the ratiďŹ cation of the 16th Amendment, what are your thoughts on the current income tax system? “I don’t like the many layers of government, but as far as this federal tax, it works for me. I like that it’s pro-rated most of all.â€? Stephen Bradley, Broad and Wolf streets “Having that tax at all bothers me because it’s too high. It’s just too harsh to many people.â€?

South PhillyReview

Really going out of business

To the Editor: I wrote an op-ed for the South Philly Review (“Going out of business,� Oct. 15, 2009) about the impact of the growing number of public charter schools on the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s school system. Under then-Archbishop Justin Rigali, we saw the first of many school closings and mergers. I wrote that there were of course other causes for this decline, but a look at today’s numbers confirms my prediction that the proliferation of charter schools has played a revolutionary role in changing the landscape of Catholic education and parish life. By April of ’11, Archbishop Charles Chaput had announced the closing not only of 40-plus parish schools, many in South Philly, but also a list of 12 parish mergers. Chaput announced three additional mergers in West Philly Jan. 8, ’13. The number of parishes has dropped from 267 to 253. That same day published reports listed enrollment figures for the archdiocese at 59,510 (down from 105,000 in ’00); the district at 148,645 (down from 197,999 in ’01); and charters at 59,411 (up from 16,510 in ’01). Presently there are 84 city charter schools. The district’s superintendent William Hite mentioned in his Action Plan adding more charters plus a district-run cyber school. He shows no intention of slowing down the charter revolution. One of the main reasons Catholic families transfer their children to charter schools is to save tuition, which continues to rise due to declining enrollment — causing a vicious cycle. Charters also tempt parents with a quasi-private school atmosphere: Uniforms, tough admission standards and a tendency to dismiss any student who exhibits serious behavior or academic problems. But, charter schools were originally designed for the sole purpose of being laboratories of innovation and best teaching practice, similar to old-fashioned “demonstration� schools. While they do have more independence, they are still required to teach the same curriculum and give the same state tests as regular public schools.

Charters are usually run by private managers instead of the more transparent district. Every CEO hired by the School Reform Commission has encouraged their unfettered expansion. Sharing became competition; discrimination the method; profit the motive; and all at taxpayers’ expense. The district meanwhile has its own magnet schools to attract motivated families with talented children. These special admissions schools include Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St., where prospective students must audition. Other special admissions schools include Masterman, ranked as the best high school in the state. Thousands of students apply for only a few seats. They must have all A’s and no discipline record whatsoever. Schools like these are essentially elite college preparatory schools. Many people applaud all of this competition and choice for students as if it is the best thing since cat’s whiskers, and as long as their children are part of the chosen. But

look at the bottom line. Both public and parochial school systems are slowly being deconstructed thanks in part to the charter school phenomenon. And even though Hite has admitted they are reaching a “saturation point� he still has plans to add more, while proposing to close 37 district schools for, what else, declining enrollment. What effect is all this having on parish life? Churches depend on having a strong population of active Catholic families to remain solvent. The bonding of home, school and church is often generational. Parishes anchor neighborhoods in much the same way as local public schools. Chipping away at that infrastructure is bound to have consequences. Many who read this will cite the Church’s costly legal battles as a huge factor in so many closings. Perhaps, but we must also conclude that the “school choice� movement ironically plays a heavy role in all this upheaval. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia

Cardella compliment To the Editor: My husband and I (married 47 years) have our roots in Minnesota, nesting in New Hampshire, and wings in Philadelphia. Our careers were (we’re retired now) teachers at high school and college levels in English, drama, journalism and television production. We think Mr. Cardella’s commentaries are: 1. On target — always. 2. Timely 3. Joyously satirical (most important in this day and age) Thank you, Mr. Cardella and South Philly Review. Terry Portner South Philadelphia

Feral feline help To the Editor: I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article about the feral cats in the South Philly Review (“Colonial times,� Jan. 31). It’s nice to know there are caring people out there helping the cats that are often neglected and abused. I care for feral cats in my backyard. I’ve been doing it for 13 years now. I moved in an area that was all farm land that was sold to home builders leaving the barn cats abandoned with nowhere to go. Here is some information you may want to post that may be helpful to your readers. FriendsofAnimals.org offers a spay/neuter certificate program which offers discounts on spaying/neutering. This helped keep my cost down. AlleyCat.org is an organization solely for feral cats. They provide assistance to helping cat colonies.

A

robber escaped the cold, and then escaped an eatery with a few hundred dollars. The unknown man entered Subway, 330 W. Oregon Ave., Saturday with a scarf covering his face, said, “It’s cold outside” to a 27-year-old female employee and requested some cookies, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He then pulled out a gray handgun and said, “Give me the 10s and 20s.” She handed him $400, which he fled with westbound on Oregon. The thief was described as white, in his 30s, 5-foot-8, 200 pounds and wearing a white and gray hoodie, dark jeans, black sneakers, a black scarf and latex gloves.

Six-figure score An unknown burglar or burglars swiped more than $130,000 worth of cash and valuables from a Grays Ferry home last week. A 25-year-old left her residence on the 2600 block of McKean Street at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 31, but when her 16-year-old relative came home at 3 p.m., she found the front door wide open, the second-floor bedroom door broken and all of the bedrooms ransacked, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A three-foot high safe containing $71,500 and $60,000 worth of jewelry, an Xbox, two HP laptops and a few pairs of Jordan sneakers were missing. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Chemical chaos A Point Breeze woman allegedly tossed bleach at a teen’s face during the a fight. A 17-year-old and Shybree Cottle, 20, of the 2000 block of South Norwood Street, are believed to have a continuing clash that heated up at 11:40 a.m. Jan. 30 on the 2100 block of Moore Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Cottle supposedly threw bleach in her face, struck her in the back with a large stick, causing an abrasion, and chucked a screwdriver at her. Police located the victim on the 2200 block of Moore, and a medic unit flushed her eyes out with a saline solution.

Police arrested Cottle at her home and charged her with aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats, harassment, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person, according to court records. She posted a percentage of her $5,000 bail Friday.

Failed holdup A man escaped a double-teamed mugging in Grays Ferry. A 21-year-old man was headed to a bus stop at 11:30 a.m. Jan. 29 when he noticed a man heading west abruptly walk toward him on the 2800 block of Reed Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Then another man stepped in front of him, pointed a silver and black firearm at him and said, “Give me your stuff.” The target kept walking but the first man grabbed his arms. The victim broke free and fled westbound on Reed Street unscathed. The initial offender was described as black with a light complexion, tall, having a beard and wearing a black hoodie and black puffy vest. The armed man was described as black, having a dark-colored mask covering the bottom portion of his face and wearing a black hoodie. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Unfriendly fracture Police arrested a Grays Ferry woman for assault Friday. During a dispute, Tondelia Sowell, 37, of the 2900 block of Reed Street, allegedly used an unknown object to smack a 62-year-old woman, with whom she supposedly has not gotten along with for years, resulting in a swollen eye, bloody lip and possible orbital bone fracture at 8:55 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in stable condition. Sowell told a 38-year-old man, who resides with the victim, “I messed your girl up” and was arrested at the scene Tolliver said. She was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person. She posted a percentage of her $10,000 bail Friday.

Spadaccini strikes out as role model

A victim and the parents of both victims addressed the court at a baseball coach’s sentencing for sexual assault. ■ By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

L

ouis Spadaccini walked in the courtroom with his hands cuffed in front of him and glanced toward his family before sitting in his seat at the defense table around 10:30 a.m. Monday. The former baseball coach at NeumannGoretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., had pled guilty Sept. 26, 2012 to drugging and indecently assaulting a boy he had known for years, as well as drugging an incoming Saints’ freshman until his mother demanded his return home. “Through her diligence and perseverance that night, [she] stopped this monster from continuing this life of disgusted shame,” the father of a victim, then 14, said of his wife. Spadaccini’s family members and friends pleaded that Judge Ronald C. Nagle not send him too far away, so relatives, including his son, could visit, and Spadaccini’s lawyer, Tariq Karim El-Shabazz, noted his prior benefits to the community. “If we want to be honest with ourselves, hundreds of young men came under the tutelage of Mr. Spadaccini with no allegations of any foul play, and now in fact, are successful not only in college, some are in the minor leagues,” he said referring to former Saints, such as Mark Donato, whom the Kansas City Royals drafted last year, and Mike Zolk, a University of North Carolina sophomore. After a friend, whose husband met Spadaccini, 38, of the 2600 block of South Iseminger Street, in recovery, mentioned his struggles with drug and alcohol abuse, his attorney noted addiction alters one’s personality, resulting in abnormal actions. “Drugs and alcohol don’t make you rape boys,” Assistant District Attorney Joseph McGlynn, who represented the victims, along with Assistant District Attorney Branwen McNabb, said, noting the pair were not the only ones Spadaccini abused. Naming both boys, Spadaccini apologized and admitted his embarrassment. “I just want to tell everyone in this room how truly sorry I am for my actions,” he

said. “I tried my whole life to help people, and I honestly failed in a big way.” Although Chester County’s Nagle, who presided over the case since Spadaccini had worked at the Criminal Justice Center as courtroom operations staffer, said it’s not possible to know what’s in a man’s heart, he didn’t buy the presented rationale. “I must tell you, sir, it is an inadequate explanation from the court’s viewpoint, from this judge’s viewpoint,” he said. “What you did in these instances requires a certain degree of planning and conniving, and as one of the parents said, a nurturing of young boys to put yourself in a position of trust. … You have betrayed one of the most important trust that can be given to any human being in what you did.” Nagle officially sentenced Spadaccini to the negotiated deal of 12 to 24 years in prison followed by five years of probation and a lifetime as a sex offender’s registrant for two counts of corruption of a minor, endangering the welfare of a child and furnishing liquor to a minor, as well as a count of involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, indecent assault and possession of narcotics. He will receive credit for the 16 months he already has served, and Nagle agreed to recommend him to Chester state prison where he can receive drug and alcohol treatment. He may not have unsupervised contact with children except for his son. SPADACCINI HAD PICKED up the 14-year-old boy from his home Sept. 18, ’11 and took him to the Holiday Inn, 900 Packer Ave., where he provided drinks, such as an orange soda, vodka and Xanax blend. His parents’ constant calling and texting resulted in Spadaccini’s returning the boy home about four hours later. The teen spent the next three days at the hospital where blood tests came back positive for benzodiazepines. “I will never trust again – ever, ever,” the boy’s mother said. “It took a complete stranger to quickly discover and uncover Spadaccini as the real monster that he really is. I’m proud of myself for that and for [the other victim’s] mother, for our motherly intuition that kicked in and enabled us

to put a stop to this — that’s been roaming around the ball fields, streets and parks of South Philly for way too long.” Spadaccini’s reputation was what convinced the boy’s parents to enroll him at the school, as they had heard of his push for academics and compassion, but afterward they wanted him to go elsewhere. However, the boy’s teammates and their parents urged them to stay, which wasn’t easy. “He’s the one being whispered about as he climbed the front steps at Neumann that first day,” his father said. “He’s the one who got Coach Lou fired.” Spadaccini was arrested Sept. 19, posted bail and was released, but police rearrested him the next day after another boy came forward with more serious accusations. “We learned that our son had been drugged, given significant amounts of alcohol and sexually molested on three different occasions — not by a stranger, but our friend and well-regarded baseball coach whose own son plays baseball with our youngest son,” the mother of the boy who was assaulted said. Spadaccini, who had known the victim for about four years, complimented his baseball skills, invited him to join Saints’ practices and encouraged him to enroll at Neumann-Goretti. “I felt like I was special because I was practicing with his team since I was in the fifth grade,” the now 15-year-old said in a pre-written statement that McGlynn read to the court. “It was just a great feeling to be practicing with one of the best teams around, especially with Lou as the coach.

He was probably one of the coolest guys I knew, but he let all of us down.” On July 24, Aug. 11 and Aug. 21 ’11, according to court records, the then-13-yearold boy was with Spadaccini, who supplied him with about six shots of whipped cream vodka on one occasion. “When our son said ‘no,’ and didn’t want to drink, he called him a ‘punk,’” his mother said. Wondering why his mentor wanted to harm him caused confusion, and their close relationship made it even tougher for him to come forward, he said. “I didn’t want to get him in trouble because I thought he would be mad, the kids on his team would be mad at me and his family would be mad at me, but most of all, I didn’t want to tell at first because I cared [for] him as a person and as a coach,” McGlynn said, reading the boy’s statement. The teen decided not to enroll at NeumannGoretti as a result of Spadaccini, and is now a freshman at another city Catholic school. “It was really bad,” he said of seeing how upset his parents were upon learning of Spadaccini’s misconduct, “but I think I saved a lot of kids from Coach Lou. … So I just want to say that Coach Lou didn’t bring me down, he brought himself down.” SPR

A personal tragedy prompted a Bella Vista resident to develop a line of liqueurs. S ta f f p h o t o b y Greg Bezanis

oan Verratti possesses such a lively personality that someone would certainly enjoy a few laughs over drinks with her. If the 59-year-old were choosing the libations, only her beloved limoncello and the other equally sweet options at Pollyodd Fine Liqueurs, 1908 E. Passyunk Ave., would win favor. The coproprietor has called on the month-old establishment to rejuvenate her ambition, which her only child’s death 16 years ago had exhausted. “Europeans like their limoncello bitter, even sour, but I put my sweet take on it because I am trying to please the American palate,” the resident of Ninth and Christian streets said. “The whole process of arriving at this moment where I can call myself a business owner has involved years of stress, but I’m all in and want to get this place on the map.” Owing to her loving nature, the gregarious seller sees her business

LIFESTYLES

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m

as more than an opportunity to make money, believing making friends and a difference truly guides her. “I don’t want to be rich,” Verratti said. “Paying my bills matters, yeah, but there’s more to life than just dollars.” As proof of her friendly disposition, she honors her days of cookie preparation by placing on her bottles the same message, “dalle mia mani al tou coure,” Italian for “from my hands to your heart,” that she put on her baked goods. She also began the Thomas J. Verratti III Memorial Scholarship Fund, named in honor of her late son and run through his alma mater St. John Neumann High School, formerly 2600 Moore St., now Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., to benefit area youngsters. Tom Cavaliere, her romantic partner of nearly 23 years, used their shared heritage to choose their site’s name, using a transliteration of an Italian term for both a blow to one’s head and the consumption of too much booze. “At Pollyodd, our products are all-natural, homemade, preservative-free and the closest thing to organic that’s out there,” Verratti said. THE GRADUATE OF South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., grew up in Grays Ferry’s Tasker Homes, 30th and Tasker streets. Although she never dreamed of

opening her own business, the former waitress hopes to be an inspiration to others. “Because of my upbringing I want to show people that they can achieve anything they set their minds to,” she said. Full of energy, she confessed to being simultaneously burdened by sorrow. Having lost her son to suicide in 1997, she struggled to find direction yet knew making cookies and waitressing never could help her to connect with her past and position her for a fruitful future. She used a heartfelt talk with Cavaliere in 2005 to spur her and spent two years experimenting with recipes, desiring the perfect union of water, sugar, alcohol and natural flavoring. Nailing it in ’07, she and her mate began applying their signatures to forms from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, with incorporation as Naoj and Mot Inc. coming the next year. “People think we’re French,” Verratti, a bona fide Italian, said of their appellation. “Really, though, it’s just our names backwards.” The entrepreneur became a rarity in ’09, becoming one of the few women since the Prohibition era to receive a distiller’s license. She feels more blessed than proud over having such a distinction, as its novelty supports one of her mantras. “I always root for the underdog,” she said.

ratti said of spot they landed courtesy of a stroll along the commercial thoroughfare. Operating on a Wednesday and Fridaythrough-Sunday schedule, she believes her increased choices, which could reach 18 flavors, will help her and her beau, whom she credits for his overall patience, to be open daily. Once the cremes can greet customers’ eyes, she will finalize a grand opening celebration and is pondering where to put the satellite store the state granted her permission to run, with Center City and Pittsburgh as top contenders. “There have been many times when I’ve wanted to quit, but my family has pulled me through,” Verratti said. Along with her mate and siblings, the spunky vendor has received motivation from niece Jessie Rios-Newcomb, who adorned Pollyodd’s walls with intricate paintings of the fruits that make the liqueurs burst. The most lasting presence, though, remains that of her son. “He takes up 99 percent of my brain,” Verratti said, fighting tears as she glanced at a painting of her offspring adjacent to the store’s entrance. “He’d be so proud and would probably be right behind the counter with me.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

The partners, who use a Point Breeze factory to oversee the production of what Verratti has termed “liquid gold,” scored significant funding from a Northern Liberties entity two years ago, and the board placed its first order in August. Available in limon-, lime-, orange- and chocolatecello, the creations, ranging from 22 to 24 percent alcohol, have found placement in 32 stores, including the Fine Wine & Spirits Shoppe, 1237 S. 11th St. “We had everything ready Aug. 27 and pickup happened three days later,” Verratti said, vividly recalling a September evening when she and her five sisters saw the products at Fine Wine & Good Spirits, 1940 S. Columbus Blvd. “Since then, we’ve just been wishing for the best and think we’re on the way.” Her quartet of offerings could have many complements soon, as she is waiting for the state’s approval to peddle a line of creme liqueurs consisting of banana, chocolate, lemon, orange and strawberry. Verratti and Cavaliere, with whom she resides, opened their East Passyunk Crossing locale Dec. 21, capping a seven-year odyssey to give the former figure recollections of her youth, when limoncello making was a South Philly obsession. “I fell in love with this space and knew it would be perfect for our operation,” Ver-

The rare decidedly adult dramedy about sex, Ben Lewin’s “The Sessions” is markedly human, telling the true tale of a crippled polio survivor (John Hawkes) who seeks out a sex surrogate (Helen Hunt) to help him finally lose his virginity. Much more than a movie taking advantage of awkward moments, the nudity-heavy film is about frailty, trust, spirit and body. Hawkes is excellent, but Hunt steals the show in her Oscar-nominated performance, baring all in more ways than one. SPR

istorically, a performance as good as Melissa McCarthy’s in “Identity Thief” has no business popping up this early in the calendar year. The Oscars for 2012 haven’t even been handed out, and the latest turn from this ’11 “Bridesmaids” nominee already deserves to be in the discussion of ’13’s best. McCarthy plays Diana — or, at least, that’s what she’s calling herself these days. The seasoned con woman under the chirpy guise of an everyday housewife uses her unassuming nature to swindle all manner of folks, including Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman), a Denver businessman she rips off after stealing his identity. McCarthy never misses a beat as she brings Diana to life, pouring vigor into the ample physical comedy, but also delivering powerhouse scenes of bona fide drama, much of it involving Diana’s rocky past and loneliness. It’s so surprising to see such ace work appear in a seemingly forgettable comedy. Directed by Seth Gordon, who also helmed “Horrible Bosses,” “Identity Thief” follows the emotional trajectory of sitcoms, always off-setting the weepy moments with cute-crude humor. But the obviousness of the approach is rendered nil by McCarthy, who rides the tonal shifts so smoothly she gives cohesion to the film itself. Of course, there is the matter of the type of comedy McCarthy deals in — that which celebrates and comically exploits her weight. “Identity Thief” constantly skates on the thin line between the knowing and the offensive, and though it often does so deftly, the notion of McCarthy as a heroine for curvier female viewers remains up for debate.

Interestingly, “Identity Thief” shares the stick-it-to-the-man themes of “Horrible Bosses,” suggesting a forte and postrecession oeuvre for Gordon. Diana’s crimes speak to the modern desperation of regular Joes and Janes, but so does Sandy’s late-in-the-game alliance with his nemesis — an unholy union that aims to bring just desserts to Sandy’s ex-employer. Gordon’s latest film hits a lot of familiar beats, including road-trip woes and a rogues gallery of worse villains chasing Diana, but it transcends them nicely, thanks to cogent elements and one super, standout performance.

their male counterparts. As women have become better educated than men, they have become less dependent on them. Freed from financial dependence on men, women are choosing to marry later, and, in increasing numbers, choosing not to get married at all. Women do not always see marriage as necessary, even when it comes to raising a family. In an ironic twist, college-educated women are finding men — perhaps in their insecurity — are tending to avoid them. Such cultural changes have moved into the political arena on social issues, such as abortion, single-parent adoption, equal pay for equal work and most recently, the removal of the ban on women serving in combat roles. Change does not come without push back from those (both men and women) resistant to it. We have seen a spate of states propose or enact laws to make abortion more difficult — the most outrageous from a female legislator in New Mexico who wants rape victims to be forced to carry the baby to term under the ruse that to abort the fetus would be to “tamper with evidence.” Around the world, the rise of women has been less dramatic, and the fight at the most basic levels of equality. There are still countries where a wife is her husband’s property, where adultery by a woman is punished by being stoned to death. Here, too, women are, on average, better educated than their male counterparts. There wouldn’t be an “Arab Spring” without the revolt of women against their male oppressors. The challenge for American men is not to sulk about gender equality, but to meet the challenge by becoming equal partners. On average, boys are not doing well in school, which inevitably leads to unemployment in today’s world, and bitter men blaming women for their failures. Maybe a society where men got the best jobs because they were men, bred the idea that males did not have to earn excellence. Some men have reacted by becoming more macho in their attitudes, taking refuge in the phony idea that they are the only “real men.” They yearn for a lost world where women knew their place, one that pretty much exists only in country music, where Tammy Wynette will forever stand by her man, or in rap, where “bitch” is often a synonym for female. I think there is a big upside for men in the rise of women. Admittedly this is from a 74-year-old male perspective, one you might charge colored by my wife donating me a kidney and saving me from a life tethered to a machine three times a week. But say what you will, I view women, not as competitors, but as more interesting people today. Rejoice in that, my brothers. Work harder, and take your own future more seriously. If not, get over it.

eally, my brethren, we are going to have to step up our game. Women are leaving us in a cloud of dust — perfumed dust, but dust nevertheless. The “little woman” is the “little woman” no more. The barriers are falling like so many 10 pins in one of those championship bowling tournaments. (Do they still televise those things?) The last, but certainly not the highest, hurdle to be cleared was the ban on women in combat. Not being the courageous type, I have always been against men serving in combat. It is in that spirit I celebrate those females who have fought long and hard for the privilege to fight for their country. The whole ban was a sham anyway. American women have been dying in combat for a long time without that fact being recognized when it came time for promotions. What does it mean to prohibit women from serving on the “front lines” when there are no front lines in modern warfare? The real present danger to women in the military (and at military academies) is from their own male colleagues, some of whom still believe females should be on the ready as sexual targets. But that is a column for another day. Perhaps most men always have perceived female equality as a threat, and that is why it has taken so long. In days gone by (not to be mistaken as “the good old days” by women), men withheld education from women, much the same as white masters feared their slaves would learn to read and write. Despite such flowery documents as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it took until 1919 for us to grant women the right to vote. Our little homilies, such as “a woman’s place is in the home,” was the polite way of saying “keep them barefoot and pregnant.” The changes have come much more rapidly for women in the last decade, so fast some folks still don’t realize they are not living in their old world anymore. Those changes are having a profound effect, not only in America, but around the world. Without boring you with a lot statistics, know that women are becoming (if they aren’t already) the dominant sex in our culture. Women do better than men in school, which has led to more women graduating college than men. While men still dominate the boardroom, CBS commentator Bob Schieffer recently pointed out female-run companies outperform

Carol Myers’ Hearty Casserole will provide needed warmth and satisfy the family. The resident of the 1300 block of Castle Avenue uses six ingredients to prepare three yummy layers for her creation. Once combined, the dish only needs 30 minutes in the oven until dinner is served. SPR

could have emerged from a French kitchen, dazzled this most generous entrée. A choice of white or brown rice came with the meal. Brown rice can be soggy and mushy, but ours arrived almost toasted with a nut-like crunch. Circles is the only restaurant I know of where the food is prepared in one place and carried across the street. It was pretty busy on the night we dined yet our waitress perfectly tended to everyone’s needs. There were a number of regulars, and they all brought bottles of wine. I noticed an unusual drink that went by and our server gave us a sample. It was made with black tea, half-and-half, cardamom and vanilla and served over ice. “Goodness, it tastes like the best vanilla

Coffee/Café/Sweets

Sweet plum sauce can be cloyingly sweet, but Boonphaya hit the mark. It imparted a light, sweet flavor set off by the chopped peanuts he added to the sauce. Crispy calamari ($7) can be a bore, but Boonphaya seasoned the crumbs splendidly before the not-at-all chewy squid rings were dusted and flash fried. The sweet and spicy chili sauce, which arrived with the squid, was a smart move. The ratio of sweet to peppery was just right. Dumplings, whether steamed or panseared, are a mainstay of all Asian restaurants, but I have never tasted them filled with pork and crabmeat. The combination intrigued us. Five plump handmade dumplings ($7) were prepared with a blend of minced pork and delicate crab, gently pan-seared and served with a French-inspired tasty soy dipping sauce. We decided to take our server’s advice and order the chicken and duck special ($18.95). As for the degree of spice, we felt medium was the way to go. Boonphaya began with a boneless breast of duck that he seasoned and crisped to such perfection that the meat remained juicy and tender while the luscious skin was crisp and bursting with flavor. We do not usually enjoy boneless chicken breast, but this version was a marvelous payard, pounded thin and cooked just a minute or so on each side. A tasty mélange of fresh vegetables, including broccoli, julienned carrots, red and green bell peppers, scallions and shallots were strewn on the plate. A light, brown sauce, which

hyllis, I don’t think this is a restaurant,” Edward said as he pulled into a parking spot on Tasker Street one block off Broad. “It looks like a take-out shop.” “That is a take-out shop, but I think the restaurant is across the street,” I said. “There’s an awning over the entrance.” Finding Circles can be a bit confusing. The restaurant began as a take-out shop until last year when Bangkok-born chef/ owner Alex Boonphaya realized his vibrant, fresh Thai cuisine also needed a place for his guests to dine in. All the cooking is done across Hicks Street. Servers carefully ferry trays of food protected by plastic covers to the tables. It was a miracle the food remained nice and hot. The decor is simple and cozy. The space is painted in soft café au lait with black and white photographs of the city. It is a rare occasion when the food is as fine as the service. Edward and I felt as if we were dining in someone’s home. Our waitress knew every item on the menu, describing some dishes as light and creamy, explaining the degree of hot and spice and letting us know the special of the night. We began dinner with Thai rolls ($6), which consisted of eight small, plump, crispy treats sitting on a bed of cool, shredded carrots; red and green cabbage; and shallots. The wrappers were fashioned from rice paper, which were thin, light and crispy, and generously filled with seasoned minced pork; heady, earthy black mushrooms; and crisp water chestnuts. The filling was a first for us, and we enjoyed the play of flavors and textures.

rowing up in Detroit, chef Scott Schroeder often went with his parents to Big Boy Restaurant where his aunt worked as a waitress. His many trips there inspired the Patty Melt now appearing on his menu at American Sardine Bar, 1800 Federal St. “I tried to glorify it a bit with more ingredients,” Schroeder, who also heads the kitchen at South Philadelphia Tap Room, 1519 Mifflin St., said. Schroeder moved to Philly about 16 years ago and worked at various eateries, including the Royal Tavern, 937 E. Passyunk Ave. He met John Longacre, who owns both bars, through friends of friends. About four years ago, the timing was right and Schroeder took over duties at the tap room. “It became a really, really good thing for me,” he said. “It kind of lets me just do my job and cook. For the last 14 months, Schroeder has learned how to juggle both

restaurants although that means he doesn’t spend much time cooking on the line anymore. His Motor-City-inspired Patty Melt recently returned to menu at the Point Breeze bar, but for those who want to try it at home, Schroeder has shared his childhood recreation. SPR

Pasting the competition A Point Breeze track star qualified for the finals of a hygienically-named competition. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

M

aliyah Matthews approaches most endeavors as an introvert, but when she steps on a track, all shyness dissipates and the 10-year-old runs with such gusto that she had better become prepared to be a frequent interviewee. The speedster took more paces toward a blazing future as a 39th Colgate Women’s Games participant at Brooklyn’s Pratt Athletic Recreation Center Saturday. Finishing fourth in her 400-meter semifinal, she qualified for Feb. 23’s finals, where she will look to bolster her family’s impressive track record. “I’m happy about what I did because running is my best talent,” she said Sunday from her home at 20th and Titan streets. The latter part of that statement could serve as a theme for her relatives. Her father, Alex Davis, competed for St. John Neumann High School, formerly 2600 Moore St., now Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St.; aunt Wendy Davis represented Smith Academics Plus, 1900 Wharton St., at the 1985 Penn Relays; and cousins Alexis Walker, 9, a resident of the 2000 block of Mountain Street, and Amira Davis, 15, who lives with Maliyah and attends Mastery Charter School’s Thomas Campus, 927 Johnston St., have begun to best fellow young athletes. For Maliyah, genes served as motivation but not as much as boredom. “I had nothing to do after school and thought running would be fun,” the third-grader at Southwest Philly’s S. Weir Mitchell School said. “I keep doing it because I’m

With determination and discipline as her guides, Maliyah Matthews has begun to accumulate accolades and appreciation for her precocious talent. S ta f f P h o t o b y Greg Bezanis

good at it, and I like beating people.” She has honed her competitive instincts as a member of the Mount Airy-based Ivy Hill Track Club, where she has learned a variety of disciplines. The squad consistently sends its charges to renowned competitions, so Mailyah and her clan elected to let her legs test their might in qualifying meets for the Colgate Games, the nation’s largest amateur track series open to females from elementary school through college. She accumulated the fourth-highest points tally through a December event and two January occasions at Pratt and eagerly returned to the facility to strive for laurels. “I didn’t feel

too much pressure,” Maliyah said as she reflected on her mid-morning task. “I just go when I have to go and try to win.” Competing in the Elementary A Division as one of three Pennsylvanians facing four New York inhabitants, she hoped to play the spoiler and shock the locals with a win. Even knowing she needed only to avoid coming in last to continue her march could not stop her from looking to show that her intense practice schedule, with which she has a love-hate relationship, is working. The determined figure turned in a time of one minute and 17 seconds, just two seconds off her personal best, yet could not conquer the favorites. Despite the defeat, she received kudos in the form of a medal for participation and, more importantly, proof of how she can grow as a runner. “Conditioning will take Maliyah through,” her patriarch said of what the chief

chore of the next two weeks will be. “We will work on building her stamina because mentally, she’s already there.” HIS DAUGHTER HAS developed her cognitive receptivity by being a clear example of the adage that winning breeds confidence. Her winter has proven instructional and could end up being highly decorative with the Colgate finals and other competitions, but Maliyah sees last summer as a mammoth motivator. “It helped me to fill this box,” she said as she inspected some of her medals. “I feel happy because I have them.” Having already claimed a gold medal in the 200 meters and a silver in the 55 meters at a USA Track & Field event at Widener University, she returned to the Chester campus for a June district qualifying meet for the Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships. Her run yielded her best time but just missed being good enough to secure her presence in Baltimore. Shaking off that disappointment, she captured golds in the 200 and 400 at August’s Keystone State Games, reveling with her supporters at Camp Hill’s Cedar Cliff High School. “I don’t really have any track heroes, just my family, I guess,” Maliyah said as her kin discussed how far her ambition might take her. With only two days left to prepare for a United Age Group Track Coaches Association Widener-situated event that will serve as a warm-up for her return to the Empire State, she knows she must continue to approach each contest with ease, no matter the severity. As the Colgate Games have produced more than 20 Olympians and hundreds of age or grade division national champions, she also realizes that sticking with the competition and the preparatory grind could bring her two huge titles. “I want to be a world and Olympic champion,” she said excitedly. “Running teaches me to believe in myself, so I think I can be both.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.
