espite its rich cultural and athletic identity, residents often claim that nothing truly exciting happens in South Philly. City planner Jennifer Barr aims to silence naysayers, and her hopes gained traction Feb. 1 with the release of the Lower South District plan.
With Barr as its team’s project manager, the document, replete with suggestions on topics such as land management, open space and transportation, will seek to enhance a 6.58-square-mile expanse that enlists the sports complex area and The Navy Yard, 4747 S. Broad St., as its primary draws. “We wanted to divide the city in manageable ‘bites’ that were larger than
neighborhoods,” the resident of the 1500 block of South Clarion Street said of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission’s decision to conceive changes for Philadelphia’s 18 districts. As the City has lacked a comprehensive zoning resolution since 1960, the commission acted on the Philadelphia Home See LOWER SOUTH page 14

Cardella: A column about nothing
The South Philly Review is turning 65 this year and we want to share in the celebration with all of our great neighbors. Instead of collecting our Social Security check, we are dedicating our May 17 issue to the businesses, people and places that have achieved similar milestones.
I’ll let you in on a little secret. It is so much easier to write a column when you’re scheduled for print on a special day. By Tom Cardella

Letters
Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
Building the future
“Of course I do. I don’t have anything planned for right now. I’m waiting for my special one to call with plans.� Nancy Lomax, Seventh and Hoffman streets
“I celebrate it with my husband. I get everything — the balloons, the chocolate that says ‘I love you’ and the card. I get that months before so that the words are good and actually mean something. And all I expect from him is some good loving.� Charlie Walker, 22nd and Wolf streets “I do celebrate Valentine’s Day. I don’t have a girlfriend right now. I’m actually taking my mom out for dinner, but I do make sure that I take whatever special woman that’s in my life at the time out. Vince Ceniccola, Broad and Ritner streets
“I take my fiancĂŠ, Phyllis — I love her — to dinner. Maybe go to the park and give her a gift, something nice.â€? Max Harness 18th and Ritner streets Interviews by Samantha Byles Photos by Greg Bezanis
Tell us your thoughts
To the Editor: I do not postulate before large or small audiences nor do I expound my ideas and thoughts in infinite detail to all I meet. What I do is observe and write letters of my observations. What I have observed recently about the zoning meetings held by South Philadelphia H.O.M.E.S. Inc., is that they have become a tumultuous event with total disregard for the community’s wishes and desires. My understanding of zoning was that a proposal was presented, questions were asked in a respectful manner, answered in the same way and then a vote was taken. If this could be done, we would not have the kind of disruptive incidents that occurred at the last two meetings I attended. Law enforcement officials had to be called to restore order. This kind of behavior is counterproductive. Nobody wins. I believe we all want what is best for our community. Let’s try to get that. Presenters: Stop trying to only make money and respect the community’s wishes. Listen to what they want to see in their midst. Attendees: Listen with an open mind, accept that there are going to be changes and vote with the needs of the entire community in mind. Maybe then we can move forward and everyone will be content. Who knows? We may even be happy with the results. Alice H. Shockley South Philadelphia

Repeat offenders To Mayor Michael Nutter: As you know, our crime is out of control. The one thing I hear in so many of the news reports is the suspect has 10 prior arrests, eight prior arrests, 15 priors. It makes me scream. It should be if you get arrested the second time, that’s it. You don’t get out. Who cares about crowded jails? It is not the Holiday Inn. Our police are risking their lives only to see the same people back on the street. Jail should be the worst place on earth — not a place to sleep, get a hot meal, workout in a gym and even take college courses. Maybe we need to get the parking authority involved. They always get their man! All the talking isn’t working. It’s time to get tough. Rocco Cima South Philadelphia

To the rescue To the Editor: Do miracles happen? I think they do. Indeed, a miracle happened Jan. 24 around 7:15 p.m. near the corner of Fourth and Federal streets when a complete stranger selflessly stopped to help my son capture our dog who had gotten out of her harness. He was not asked to help. He just saw what was happening and decided to help. We will probably never know the identity of the well-dressed businessman who dropped his packages and himself dropped down to the ground to help woo our 1-year-old Australian cattle dog mix back to safety. We cannot express our gratitude to this man, but if he is reading this, thank you, thank you, thank you! Our pup, named Mama Shirl, is a very special addition to our family and through the kindness of strangers, she hopefully always will be. Again, thank you, sir.

FINDER By Greg Bezanis
Penny pinching To the Editor: If the Archdiocese of Philadelphia plans to close so many Catholic schools because of financial distress, then is it considering the closure of parish rectories that house only one or two priests? It seems inconceivable that such huge buildings remain open when maintenance, insurance, taxes and utility costs are skyrocketing. Would it be possible for the archdiocese to designate a regional rectory for parish priests? Many nuns that serve and teach in the Catholic schools do not reside in their own parish any longer. They share a residence and maintain affordable housing. To my knowledge, only six men were ordained as priests this year. It seems as though now is the time for

Blunt force trauma A man needed eight staples and a cast after he was attacked outside a Newbold subway stop. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor
P
olice believe teens are responsible for striking a man until he was unconscious and stealing his iPhone last week. The 29-year-old exited the Snyder Avenue stop of the Broad Street Line and walked southbound on the west side of the 2100 block of South Broad Street at 8:45 p.m. Jan. 31, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. An unknown person whacked him on the back of the head with an unknown heavy object, which forced him forward. The victim was losing consciousness as at least two men demanded, “Give me what you got” multiple times, Tolliver said. They continued to smack his head and upper body with the blunt object while he was on the ground before they ran off in an unknown direction with his iPhone. The victim went to the home of a family member, who transported him to Methodist Hospital where he received eight staples to close a laceration on the right side of his head and a cast for his broken right arm, Tolliver said. The men are believed to be teens, but no further information was available at press time. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Searching for Bey The U.S. Marshal Service is seeking a Point Breeze man who allegedly threatened the father of his girlfriend’s baby with a firearm. Authorities are offering $1,000 for information that leads to the arrest of Raheem Bey, 21, who allegedly pointed a gun at a man in front of an infant in the Northwest section Raheem Bey of the city and fled police, U.S. Marshal Supervisor James Burke said. Bey, whose last known address is on the 2300 block of Tasker Street, allegedly was engaged in a fight with his girlfriend’s former flame and threatened him with a gun on the 1800 block of Brunner Street Nov. 1, 2011, according to police. The couple
fled in a car with the woman’s 1-year-old daughter, whom she has custody of. Police spotted the duo at 19th and Tasker streets where Bey is believed to have crashed his car. Bey allegedly fled the Point Breeze scene whereas his girlfriend was taken into custody. Bey is described as 6-foot-3, 165 pounds and having black hair and brown eyes. To report information, call U.S. Marshal’s tip line at 866-865-8477.
Shoulder bump A man was held up at gunpoint in Marconi Monday afternoon. The 28-year-old was strolling southbound on the 2700 block of South 19th Street when an unknown man collided with his right shoulder, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He turned and asked what the problem was to find the man pulling a small, black semi-automatic handgun from his right vest pocket. The offender said, “Give me everything in your pockets” and pulled about $300 from the man’s right pants pocket, Tolliver said. The thief demanded the victim walk toward Oregon Avenue as he fled in an unknown direction. The offender was described as black, age 18 to 24, 6-foot-3 to 6-foot-4, very thin, clean shaven; having a large gap between his front teeth; and wearing a black puffy vest and black sneakers. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Rejected A man tried to force a woman into her truck at a Grays Ferry gas station Friday night. The 30-year-old woman parked in front of Hess, 3300 Grays Ferry Ave., exited her vehicle and walked to the window to purchase a pack of gum at 11:12 p.m. Upon return, an unknown man loitering between her truck and another auto pointed a black handgun at her and tried to force her into car, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The perpetrator said he wouldn’t hurt her if she listened, but she broke free and ran. The man swiped her purse and fled through the parking lot eastbound toward 33rd Street, Tolliver said.
Court Report The man was described as black with a dark complexion, in his mid-20s, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8; having a medium build; wearing a blue Old Navy zip-up hoody, jeans and a white wool cap with ear flaps; and walking with a slight limp. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

GROWING UP continued from page 1 Feb. 22’s “Breaking Barriers Show,” a celebration of extraordinary African Americans. Learning of the opportunity to have the Constitution Center continue its outreach to city schools and libraries, Friends of the Whitman Library President Laura McColgan completed a fall application. The Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback and the Thomas Skelton Harrison foundations awarded the scholarship that allowed her location to welcome presenter Al Haynes. “‘Growing Up, American Style’ is well received because the children can literally feel history,” he said. The Fairmount resident and the program’s moderator began by discussing differences between the colonial era and current times. Excited to banter with him, students from Andrew Jackson, 1213 S. 12th St.; George Sharswood, 2300 S. Second St.; John H. Taggart, 400 W. Porter St.; and Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 2329 S. Third St., facetiously responded with raised hands when he asked who had either chopped firewood or milked goats before school. “I need a volunteer,” he said. Haynes chose John, a resident of the 300 block of Cantrell Street, to represent an ambitious apprentice. Adorned in his gym uniform, the Sharswood fourthgrader soon became a duplicate for an 18th-century child on the verge of adulthood. Colonial societies considered a boy a man at either age 8 or 9 after his britching ceremony, Haynes said as he produced britches to initiate John’s transformation, which drew laughs when he put on the replica. The spectacled helper added an ascot, a vest, an overcoat and a tri-colored hat. His glasses made him look like a modern Benjamin Franklin, whom he learned about that day at his Whitman school. In fact, his lesson led him to choose to be a printer like the statesman was as a youth when Haynes wondered which colonial occupation John would have wanted. “I had not expected this much clothing,” the boy said before Haynes told him his predecessors would have worn similar outfits at all times of year, with no break even for sweltering summer days. Along with addressing dress, the program aimed to explain hygiene to reflect the scarcity of resources and the differences among the classes with respect to sanitary practices. “How often do you think John would have bathed?” Haynes asked. “Every day, hopefully,” his 13-year-old sister Adriana Versace said to laughter. Hearing that he would be fortunate to be
John Versace, from left, Ariana Versace and Moustafa Gomaa beamed as they imagined donning the threads from other eras and performing activities common among children of their respective periods. Moderator Al Haynes, right, led them and their peers in a playful afternoon of understanding their roles in advancing the preservation of history and civics. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
able to cleanse himself two or three times a month, he received a smidge of pity with a chorus of “Eww.” “You dirty thing,” his sibling said to more chuckles. Haynes chose the seventh-grader for his examination of what an affluent girl would wear to school or a ball in the Victorian Era, adding a bulky undergarment to her frame. He noted a woman might have worn up to 35 pounds of apparel to make a stark contrast between the past and present. Her first article did not slow Adriana, but she became a model of reduced movement, donning a petticoat, a hoop skirt, a blouse and a dress jacket. Her societal standing could not have guaranteed Adriana more than five baths a month, Haynes said. “You would be a little smelly, too,” he said to the girl, who blushed to giggles. OPENED IN 2003, the Constitution Center in ’07 established “Growing Up, American Style” as an on-site complement to its “The Story of We the People” main exhibit. As the country has blossomed since the 1787 signing of the Constitution, the location seeks to uphold the rights of the land’s citizens by stressing civic management and responsibility. Those concepts appealed to
immigrants in the early 20th century, so Haynes decided to discuss a foreign child’s existence from 100 years ago. Jackson fifth-grader Moustafa Gomaa won the honor of being his final aide. Fitted with the lone pair of pants a similarly aged and classified boy would receive over a year, a jacket and a cap, the resident of the 500 block of Tasker Street would likely have found dangerous work in a factory, Haynes said. “What do you think he might have done to make more money?” Haynes asked. Pickpocketing, hawking fruits and vegetables and singing joined the correct answer — selling newspapers — as suggestions. Haynes discussed child labor laws and the eventual establishment of safety guidelines, including hours employed, for youths. His lower rung status meant the 11-yearold Moustafa would have bathed twice a year, a fate that bred even more signs of disgust. Haynes concluded by saying society has evolved so much that the difficulties their predecessors faced will likely never resurface to impede the youngsters. He mentioned educational opportunities, which 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla reiterated. “Education is incredibly important,” the resident of Front Street and Snyder Av-
enue said as the children prepared to write “Thank you” notes. He noted society owes gratitude to civil servants, who take citizens’ best interests and protect and encourage them. “We work for you,” he said to the young historians, whom he encouraged to register to vote when of age. Though he is a few years away from signing up, John understands the contribution each member of society can make by voicing an opinion. The Versaces have enjoyed art programs at Whitman and appreciated a new opportunity to have it build their education. He gladly gave his opinion concerning the performance. “I would have wanted the challenge of being a kid at that time,” he said. “The show was neat.” As the third-year president of the Friends group, the first with which the Constitution Center has interacted, McColgan loved the enthusiasm. “I was very pleased with the outcome,” the resident of the 400 block of Tree Street said. “I think the children really enjoyed themselves.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

News
LOWER SOUTH continued from page 1 Rule Charter’s requirement to construct and maintain a plan by crafting Philadelphia2035. It adopted the Citywide Vision portion in June and will spend the upcoming years focusing on a heavily recreational and occupational zone. Barr and her peers created Lower South’s boundaries using 2010 Census tract designations that follow major roadways and the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. With a population of 5,200, the district encompasses few residential stretches, but, in addition to the stadium region and The Navy Yard, also integrates industrial areas, including food distribution, port and shipbuilding facilities and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. As the Citywide Vision forecasts city population and job gains of 100,000 and 40,000, respectively, by 2035, Barr and company used census gures, historic documents, previous plans and other aids to determine themed focus areas. Their sessions yielded 114 recommendations intended to intensify life and leisure for denizens, employees and visitors. The commission divided its proposals into three themes. The ambitious ideas address the city’s physical development yet anticipate much more with plans to thrive, connect and renew each district. “Investment in the physical is tied to private investment, populating growth and retention and tax revenues,” Barr said. The thrive concept dubs the Lower South “a growing metropolitan center providing unique housing, business, industrial and entertainment opportunities,” with neighborhoods and economic development dominating its goals’ breakdown. Packer Park and Southern Boulevard residents lack an identiable neighborhood center within the Lower South and a communityserving municipal facility outside of FDR Park, according to the district plan. Inhabitants want a community center, so the commission posits that constructing one, encouraging neighborhood shopping and services in new sports complex developments and creating a safer pedestrian environment for dwellers to enjoy “would allow the residential density necessary to attract neighborhood businesses like food markets, a gym and professional services that neighbors desire now,” according to an ’04 Sports Complex Special Services District survey. Occupancy matters head the remaining thrive ideas, with hotel developments and extended-stay housing options to accommodate the 24-acre sports complex and The Navy Yard leading a lengthy list. Housing opportunities for seniors have rated highly, as the commission has pondered using the complex and yard, along with vacant buildings on the 1800 block
The FDR Lake vision includes revenue-generating additions such as a Boat House cafe and paddle boat rentals. An aerator could also improve the lake’s water quality. Rendering Provided by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission
of Hartranft Street and the former Naval Hospital site, whose eastern end in ’01 became the Eagles NovaCare Complex, 1 NovaCare Way. The economic development category offers the commission’s biggest set of suggestions. With eight million annual visitors to Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way; Lincoln Financial Field, 1101 Pattison Ave.; and the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., the sports complex unites six professional sports teams in one strip. Improving the pedestrian experience by limiting automobile/pedestrian conicts to encourage transit trips and enlivening the Pattison Avenue thoroughfare from Broad to 11th streets with licensed vendors and entertainers kick-start the plans. Helping to create parking for patrons of the impending Xnity Live! entertainment complex, 1100 Pattison Ave., also has won merit. With more than 8,000 of the district’s 15,000 employees, The Navy Yard has become a commerce haven. As businesses vie for placement within it, the commission envisions attracting restaurateurs and retailers, among many measures. Other economic development goals include deepening the Delaware River’s shipping channel to 45 feet; improving highway access to and enhancing beautication of the area surrounding the former Food Distribution Center, 3301 S. Galloway St.; and coordinating the reuse and greening plans for Sunoco Inc. renery, 3144 W. Passyunk Ave., which could cease operations by July. MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER approved a new zoning code Dec. 22, and it will take effect Aug. 22. Hoping to make Philadelphia America’s greenest city by ’15, he has ad-
vocated transportation changes, a concept that teams with utilities to form the connect theme. Stressing modification, too, the members deemed highways, complete streets, bus service, fixed and freight rails and ferry travel modes to tackle. “Many of the recommendations build upon themselves or refer to recommendations in other sections,” Barr said. With Lower South’s heavy use of Interstates 76 and 95, four of their seven total interchanges have been prioritized for improvement. Studies and recongurations would result, as the City hires want to ease sports complex trafc ows and add ramps, according to the plan. The Lower South presents difculties to navigate other than by automobile, so the commission wants to improve bicycle connections between FDR Park and other South Philly communities and to redesign Broad Street from Oregon Avenue to The Navy Yard by completing sidewalks, adding pedestrianscale lighting and improving landscape maintenance. The Broad Street-bound C bus will become two routes Feb. 29, with Route 4 to serve the local segment. The commission wants to provide additional bus shelters for the new path, extend the 23 bus to the sports complex on event days and create a one-seat transit ride from Center City to The Navy Yard by extending an existing bus route on every other run. An ’08 study suggested extending the Broad Street Line to The Navy Yard and has found a proponent in the commission, which is seeking to have multiple agents nance the extension. Five recommendations would aid Lower South’s three Class I railroads and two ideas are working to provide ferry conveyance to and from The Navy
Yard. The promotion of solar and wind energy production and enhanced storm water management conclude the connect theme. Open space, historic preservation and the public realm comprise the renew theme. The commission backs the completion of the Delaware River Trail to The Navy Yard to advance waterfront access strategies. FDR Park would come to include revenue-generating activities like paddle boats and special events and would rely on interpretative signage and kiosks to laud its design and history. Urban design concepts conclude the suggestions, with a plaza or public space near the Broad Street Line’s AT&T Station at Pattison Avenue, to celebrate the city. The full plan will take more than 10 years to realize, with Barr stressing the difculty of cost estimating. Through March 1, anyone can comment to phila2035@phila.gov. The commission will vote to adopt the plan March 20 and then will prepare drafts and ordinances for City Council, which, if passed, will go to Nutter for approval. The same process will occur again after next month’s issue of the Central plan, which includes Bella Vista, Hawthorne, Queen Village and South of South. “Lower South is so special,” Barr said. “We got to think about so many interesting and diverse areas and issues. It was also great to work in such an upbeat area that is trending upward in both population and employment growth.” SPR For more information, visit phila2035.org.

Two Queen’s Village residents took their childhood hobby and started a local video game studio. By Jess Fuerst

ill Stallwood, of Second and South streets, and Dain Saint, of Fifth and Bainbridge streets, are, by their own account, nerds. As video-game enthusiasts during childhood, the two men, now both 27, began programming from an early age. “I used to play video games for money and I used to make a lot of money doing it,” Stallwood said. “There was this game called ‘Quake,’ the first first-person shooters ever created. And there were these little scripts you could write so you could, say, make your weapon switch a lot faster. And if your weapon switched a lot faster, you had a much better edge playing the game. So you had to know how these games worked as well as playing them.” Stallwood and Saint met in their early 20s. A few years later, they founded Cipher Prime, a small game studio specializing in music games based out of a Seventh-and-Christian-streets office in 2008. “I wanted it to be an interactive media company, which is sort of what I had been doing at the time, high-end Flash and design. I wanted to take those skills and make more than no money doing it,” Saint said. “Will, he

Lifestyles continued from previous page had been in Philadelphia forever and I had left the area for four or five years. I didn’t have any contacts, especially not in the industry and Will knows everyone. “He was already in the industry, getting us work immediately and I could concentrate on the day-to-day and production. It was a really good fit for us in the beginning.” They spent some time as an interactive media company, building website add-ons such as virtual tours of new buildings. In an effort to showcase their skills they built a small demo, which was a browser game they dubbed “Auditorium.” “We had no idea when we put it online,” Saint said of its eventual success. “The moment we realized we had something fantastic was Thanksgiving of that year. We released the demo the first week of November. The site [jayisgames.com], the largest casual-game site on the Internet, ran a review. Their traffic was fantastic, it was so much traffic it crashed the server. Then we got 2,000 hits on Thanksgiving.” “Basically you can go on there and play a really interesting game,” Stallwood added about their debut game, which won many awards and earned one title of Second-Best Browser Game of All Time. “It doesn’t have instructions, you are playing around and ev-
ery level can be solved multiple ways.” Since their initial serendipitous success that is also available on iPhone, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable, the interactive media company fully transitioned to a game studio with multiple music-based offerings. At younger than four years old, the small company, which is working on its fourth game, “Splice,” is still finding its footing. “Instead of going through a publisher, we’re going out and we have to do a lot of stuff ourselves now,” Stallwood said. “It’s all totally new for us. It’s not the easiest thing in the world we’ve realized. It’s going to be an interesting year for us. “We decided it’s time to jump in the deep end and learn some new tricks.” SAINT GREW UP in multiple New Jersey towns while Stallwood, who hails from South Jersey, moved to the city to attend The Art Institute of Philadelphia, where he studied design and multimedia design. “I went to college in Philly and fell in love with the place and never left,” Stallwood, who began working for advertising agencies upon graduation, said. “I was doing video ads and Flash ads … all that technology. Eventually I didn’t want to be evil anymore.” At the end of high school, Saint headed

to Boston to attend Northeastern University, where he studied mechanical engineering. He connected through a mutual friend with Stallwood. “One of my buddies went to the Art Institute and we were friends from high school,” Saint said. “They ended up hanging out and I became friends through that with Will.” Saint’s passion, which he now gets to do on a daily basis, was always a hobby. “We’re both kind of Philly people. We both like doing things for the sake of doing them, so sometimes writing code doesn’t have a purpose other than to do a cool effect,” Saint said. The two connected over business when they were both fed up with the corporate world and the shortsightedness of their employers. Saint filed paperwork for the company and a couple days later Stallwood called him with the same idea. “The interesting thing is Dain and I have both been programming since we were kids. Dain’s a musician and I’m an artist, well we’ll say a designer — a failed artist,” Stallwood said. “We have this really hefty passion for these two things individually and a passion and appreciation for each other’s work.” Though never formally trained, Saint has taught himself proficiency on multiple
instruments, and the two combine these loves, along with autonomy, in their business venture. “I didn’t have friends growing up, so to follow through on the childhood boy dream of making video games was really appealing,” Saint said. Having just recently brought on more support for their new business model, the Philly-based team has no desire to grow far beyond its current structure. “We’re not a typical big business company and we really don’t want to be,” Stallwood said. “We love being a boutique and we love being here. We love what we’re doing and we’ll keep doing it with five people as long as we’re having a great time and if we keep doing a good job.” The business relocated a year ago to Third and Chestnut streets but its city office and Stallwood’s and Saint’s South Philly homes are important ingredients in the mix. “We’re not moving the company,” Saint said. “We’ve toyed with the idea, about moving to San Francisco … and the community there. We’re talking about games — AAA titles, like ‘Madden’ and ‘Halo’ and ‘Call of Duty,’ But Philly is a much smaller indy scene, with cool projects and creative, innovative things happening.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

By Tom Cardella Columnist
A column about nothing
I
’ll let you in on a little secret. It is so much easier to write a column when you’re scheduled for print on a special day. For instance, last week’s column came out on Groundhog Day, so all I needed to do was to write about the banal tradition (columnists love Groundhog Day). With great hope, I checked the calendar for Feb. 9 and frankly, it has not been helpful. This is where you come in, dear reader. I am going to let you decide if anything really important happened on this date. 474: Zeno was crowned as co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Apparently Steve Spagnolo wasn’t available then either. 1267: The Synod of Breslau ordered the Jews of Silesia to wear special caps. One young Jew remarked, “It’s happening already?” I am happy to report that Jews and non-Jews banded together to wear the same cap like the one Frank Sinatra wore “Come Dance With Me.” 1537: Pope Paul III routed Cardinal Pole to England. This was in retaliation for the Brits routing Cardinal English to Poland. 1555: The Bishop of Gloucester was burned at the stake. He had closed a number of religious schools in the area. 1674: The English reconquered New York from the Netherlands. If they hadn’t, the New York Metropolitans would be the New York Grootstedlijkes (and they’d still stink). 1775: The English Parliament declared the colony of Massachusetts in rebellion. “Too liberal,” they sniffed. 1861: Jefferson Davis was elected president of the Confederate States of America. Newt Gingrich is said to be in line for that post today. 1870: The U.S. Army established the U.S. National Weather Service and promptly got the long range winter forecast wrong. 1891: The first shipment of asparagus arrived in San Francisco. Someone in my family called the vegetable “asparagrass.” 1920: A Joint Rules Committee banned foreign substances from baseballs. Yeah, right. 1926: Teaching the heory of Evolution was forbidden in Atlanta schools. Rick Santorum declared in 2012 that Atlanta was ahead of its time. 1942: The Philadelphia “Phillies” changed their nickname (temporarily) to “Phils.” This change proved as temporary as the Bush tax cuts. 1950: Sen. Joseph McCarthy charged
the State Department was infested with 205 communists. Last month, Gingrich charged that the State Department is infested with 205 socialists, thus proving that America is less radical today. 1956: R. Lacoste followed Catroux as Algeria’s premier and is sworn in wearing a pink polo shirt with an alligator logo. 1964: It marked the first appearance of The Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” My mother yelled, “Turn that crap off.” 1971: “All in the Family” had the first gaythemed episode. Previously gay-themed shows were seen on “All in the Closet.” 1985: Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” album went No. 1 for three weeks. Today no one remembers what it means to be just like a virgin. 1990: Namibia’s constitution was ratified and promptly is violated. 1992: The record was set for the world’s fastest yodeler. He went on to have a lucrative career calling the goats in the Swiss Alps. 1994: Israeli Minister Shimon Peres signed accord with the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Yassir Arafat, who is photographed with his fingers crossed behind his back. Nothing much happened Feb. 9 after ’94, so I will predict what will happen today. A student by the name of Lenny Milcher googled a question about the use of the spice tamarind and received the Google reply “How the hell should i know?” ... The Mitt Romney campaign admits that the story about the Romney dog running away after being tied to the roof of the family station wagon for 12 hours is true. PETA protests. Tony Dungy offers Romney his spiritual guidance ... A study of the incredibly high NFL Pro Bowl TV ratings reveals that Parents actually propped their kids in front of the television set and stole the upstairs for some afternoon delight. In reality, only 13 people actually watched the game and they are being referred for psychiatric treatment today. ... Florists are busy marking up the price of roses by 25 percent in preparation for Valentine’s Day. ... The Sixers continue to win, but the media refuse to believe the team is for real until it obtains a temperamental star who misses practice, gambles huge sums in Atlantic City and gets into two fights a week in a local after-hours club. ... A person who declares herself “very poor” endorses Romney because of his statement that “I’m not concerned about the very poor.” The woman admits she hates it when folks worry about her. ... Because nothing really important ever happens Feb. 9, the day is declared Seinfeld Day in honor of the TV show about nothing. ... SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Damian Lynch (Scott Graham), center, is forced to serve as an altar boy in “Pentecost,” an 11-minute Oscar-nominated short film.
R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

f there were as much diversity in Oscar’s other categories as there is in this year’s lineup for Live Action Short, you can bet there would be a lot less complaining about the Academy being shortsighted. The nominees, all of which hit theaters this Friday, include two intrinsically Irish dramedies, a German heart-tugger, an American film-school romp and a darkly funny Norwegian mortality tale. The latter, “Tuba Atlantic,” stands way out in front in terms of likability, its wry story of a man with less than a week to live as frequently hilarious as it is gently sentimental. Directed by Hallvar Witzø, the film isn’t likely to take the trophy, but it’ll leave you with a big, crooked smile. The probable winner is “Raju,” a trustyour-conscience movie about a German couple who adopt an Indian boy in Kolkata, only to learn painful secrets about his origins when he gets lost in the city marketplace. The drama, directed by Max Zähle, is well shot, but highly banal, reaching for familiar, important-on-paper social issues that lack urgency. “The Shore,” directed by Terry George of “Hotel Rwanda” fame, features character actor Ciarán Hinds as an Irishman returning home to reconnect with old friend, a one-armed fisherman of modest means. There’s a sweetness to the story, but a rushed quality too, and the boredom of its middle is never justified. More nimble is “Pentecost,” also from Ireland, about a disgraced altar boy whose pressure-filled redemption is formally and thematically linked to his obsession with soccer. A film by actor Peter McDonald, it feels like a commercial, but it offers an
ending that is, quite literally, a kick. Finally there’s “Time Freak,” a sci-fi comedy from filmmaker Andrew Bowler that recalls both “Groundhog Day” and 2004’s “Primer.” Sadly, it holds a candle to neither, suffering from amateurish acting and derivative plot elements that satisfy, but only in the most rudimentary sense. On their own, the Live Action Short nominees largely see their flaws exposed, but as a group, they represent a wide range of vision that supercedes their shortcomings.

Recommended Rental Take Shelter R Available Tuesday Michael Shannon gives another brilliantly unhinged performance in “Take Shelter,” an exquisitely made, apocalyptic allegory of our times that emerged as one of the best films of 2011. Playing a bluecollar worker haunted by unexplainable visions of doom, Shannon’s character insists on building a bomb shelter in his backyard, and in the process may just be digging a grave for him and his family.

crisp breadsticks, olive oil-laced focaccia and warm rolls, which I slathered with soft butter. The sommelier came over to the long community table and helped patrons select a glass of wine. This is a fine one-on-one touch that made my evening at il Pittore so enjoyable. The gentleman makes his choices and offers a sip to see if diners like it or not. He paired my appetizer and pasta with a glass of Verdicchio di Metalica ($10), a rich white wine I have not sipped in many years. He suggested a Negro Amaro ($12) for my hearty lamb shank. At this point, I was not sure whether or not someone recognized me. I left my place to answer my phone and when I returned, the waiter placed a complimentary bowl of risotto with wild mushrooms before me. “Sorry it took so long for your baccala,” he said. I thanked him thinking this is exactly what a Starr restaurant would do for any waiting patron. The homemade pappardelle with wild boar ragu ($16) was the finest version I have eaten anywhere. The glistening long strands of freshly-made ribbon pasta were topped with bits of moist boar simmered gently in a Bolognese sauce of perfect flavor and texture. Painter has the seasoning down to a science. The ragu had a slightly spicy flavor, perhaps a pinch of cayenne was added to the mix. I initially had ordered an elbow-shaped pasta with duck ragu ($15) but it was so salty, I could not

he culinary question of the day is “Does Philadelphia need another Italian restaurant?” There are dozens throughout the city’s neighborhoods. Vetri is unique and upscale. There are family-style stalwarts throughout South Philly and new arrivals such as the delightful Monsu. Stephen Starr decided to go upscale Italian (read: expensive) yet casual with the opening of il Pittore on a block that boasts Melograno and Porcini. I admire Starr for his brilliant business mind and his diverse restaurants, which are magnates for those of us who enjoy fine food. I dined alone at il Pittore. The woman next to me was entertaining two clients while a gentleman ate alone with a book for company. il Pittore is under the direction of chef Chris Painter, who has been with the Starr group for a number of years. He has put together a four-part menu of Northern Italian dishes: appetizers, pasta, entrées and desserts. My waiter explained the menu system to me as I sipped a Rob Roy ($13.50) that was cloyingly sweet and had to be sent back to the bartender for a remix. Salt cod ($15) is a staple of Italian fare and Painter hit the mark with my starter. It consisted of a juicy chunk of fresh smoked cod served on a bed of creamy saffronscented potatoes blended with poached calamari with a hint of garlic. This dish could have been overpowering but it was not. I cleaned my plate. My server brought me a pretty basket filled with pencil-slim

Valentine’s Day dinner is all about warming a companion’s heart. Preparing a high-end menu featuring items from the sea of love will set the mood for a passionate evening. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
A
s soon as the candy canes disappear and Christmas decorations go on clearance, stores begin the big push for Valentine’s Day. Cards, flowers, big red boxes of Belgian chocolates tied up with big pink bows, sugary pastel candy hearts and deep red, tiny cinnamon hearts wow our senses. Chefs love Valentine’s Day because they can organize expensive four-course meals using exotic ingredients and make sure their cellars are stocked with enough Champagne and sparkling wine to thrill the population of France. Two years ago, Edward was recovering from serious ankle surgery. February 2010 was brutal. We endured two major snowfalls four days apart and the new snow was piled on top of the more than two feet that fell during late December and into January. Since Edward was recuperating, I prepared a scrumptious rack of lamb Valentine’s Day dinner. We rarely dine out on Valentine’s Day, but last year Edward was craving clams and oysters. There is only one place for perfect raw bar in this town and it’s the Oyster House. We breezed through 18 ice cold, big, fresh cherrystone clams, several
dozen oysters and a lobster dinner. Tuesday is the day for love. I think I will prepare a lobster dinner for three since Sandy is staying with us. Now, dear readers, I don’t want any cards, letters or e-mails about how “she brutally killed three lobsters and then ate them with her family.” As chef Tom Colicchio pointed out when “Top Chef” contestants went fishing and cooked their catch: “If you kill it, you show respect for it.” In the film “Julie and Julia,” Amy Adams plays Julie Powell who kills lobsters for her birthday dinner while her husband Eric, played by Chris Messina, humorously taunts her with “lobster killer, lobster killer.” In “Annie Hall,” Woody Allen and Diane Keaton are about to cook lobsters when one of them scoots away on the floor behind a cabinet. “Talk to him,” Woody says. “You speak shellfish.” These scenes go through my mind whenever Edward and I do the deed. One of the most humane ways to kill a lobster is to plunge a very sharp knife in the space between its eyes. This will sever the spinal chord and kill it instantly. Or, you could place them in the freezer for about one hour and then plunge them into boiling water. Once the lobsters are in the pot, cover with a lid and cook for about eight minutes
or so, depending upon their weight. I can easily put away a 2-pound lobster by myself. I don’t need corn on the cob and boiled potatoes to complete the meal. I prefer something lighter. We will begin dinner with a Salad of Sturdy Winter Greens. I am thinking of serving Creamed Spinach and turnips au gratin as well. Champagne is my wine of choice with lobster. A crisp sauvignon blanc or any light red such as a slightly chilled Beaujolais would complement the meal.
■ Salad of Winter Greens ■ Ingredients: 1 head of romaine lettuce, torn into pieces 1 head of red leaf lettuce, torn into pieces 1 head of escarole, torn into pieces 4 Belgian endives, sliced 1 medium head of radicchio, torn into pieces Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil Juice of 1 large lemon 1 heaping tablespoon of Dijon 4 ounces of Roquefort, Stilton or Gorgonzola, crumbled
Directions: Place all of the salad greens in a large salad bowl and toss well. Add the salt and pepper. Place the salad in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients and pour over the salad. Add the cheese and toss well. Serves four.
■ Creamed Spinach ■ Ingredients: 2 16-ounce bags of frozen chopped spinach, defrosted in a colander under running water, all of the water squeezed out 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter 1 pint of heavy cream 1 pint of light cream Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sprinkling of nutmeg, to taste Directions: Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium. Add the spinach and sauté for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, bring the contents of the pot to a slow boil, lower to a simmer and heat through. Serves four.

ew outsiders might expect anyone with a tender nature to thrive in a sport that calls on punches to earn acclaim and applause. Angelo Dundee, however, made boxing gyms and rings the primary places to exhibit his tenacious yet thoughtful approach to overcoming external and internal opponents. The revered trainer of hundreds of pugilists, including 15 world champions, passed away Feb. 1 in Oldsmar, Fla., at the age of 90, two weeks after helping Muhammad Ali, his most renowned fighter, celebrate his 70th birthday. According to son Jimmy Dundee, the former Angelo Mirena had a brief hospitalization stay for a blood clot two weeks ago and spent time in a rehabilitation center before returning to his apartment, the site of his death. A native of the 800 block of Morris Street and an alumnus of South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., Mr. Dundee devoted more than 60 years to preparing punchers for physical and mental tests, with 21 prosperous years going toward assisting fellow icon Ali. “When Angelo Dundee spoke, everyone listened,” associate and prominent promoter J. Russell Peltz said Friday of his fellow International Boxing Hall of Fame enshrinee. His gregarious demeanor drew Mr. Dundee many devotees, but Peltz noted the figure downplayed his significance in favor of trumpeting his scrappers’ talents. His skills, however, seem fated to become as synonymous with boxing’s lore as any athletes’ abilities. Born Aug. 30, 1921, the East Passyunk Crossing product had devised a career as an aircraft inspector, but the switch from prop to jet power would have necessitated more training, so he removed planes from his plans. His early boxing education came from brother Joe Mirena, a fledgling fighter. As the ring resident admired a boxer named Dundee, he changed his name. Mr. Dundee joined him in swapping, not knowing he would soon align himself with another personality who would likewise drop his given name. His knowledge flourished in England during World War II. A serviceman for the Army Air Forces, he acted as a cornerman during military tournaments. He earned an apprenticeship at New York City’s Stillman Gym, handling cuts and taping hands. Teeming with ambition after gaining a reputation as a skilled worker and ebullient companion, he moved to Miami in the late ’50s. With his brother Chris as the financial overseer, Mr. Dundee opened the Fifth Street Gym. The decade closed with his introduction to

Angelic Angelo
Angelo Dundee possessed a positive air that this image reflects. Lauded for his penchant for mustering the best from his charges, he produced three handfuls of champions in a Hall of Fame career.
A legendary East Passyunk Crossing boxing trainer with a knack for niceties died last week. amateur hopeful Cassius Clay in the young man’s hometown of Louisville, Ky. The two discussed nuances of their sport, and Clay, a soon-to-be Olympic champion, soaked up the session’s contents. However, he later rebuffed his elder when Mr. Dundee inquired about training him. The sleek Clay, whose mouth would soon join his jabs in bringing him fame, won his first bout Oct. 29, ’60, and, thanks to a handler’s outreach, would take on Mr. Dundee as his trainer two months later. Thus began a fruitful partnership that included 53 wins from 58 contests and three heavyweight titles. Clay converted to Islam in ’64, adopting the name Muhammad Ali to reflect his new faith. Though new faces joined his camp, Mr. Dundee acted as a motivating mainstay. “Angelo was just a positive guy who loved to accentuate the good,” Peltz, who met Mr. Dundee in ’72 and booked two dozen fights
through the late mentor, said of his business partner’s gift for finding the best means to sustain esteem and bolster tenacity. He also sought to craft chances for the oppressed, as Peltz relayed an apocryphal tale through which Mr. Dundee guarded money and belongings from Cuban fighters who yearned to escape Fidel Castro’s rule for chances to excel in Miami. “I believe it’s true,” Peltz, the former boxing director at the Spectrum, 3601 S. Broad St., said of Mr. Dundee, whom he usually bonded with at the annual Hall of Fame induction ceremonies in Canastota, N.Y. “He had a big personality, and that story would prove it more.” THOUGH STILL A force, Ali reduced his schedule as he approached middle age, and Mr. Dundee, remaining faithful to his pupil yet added Sugar Ray Leonard to his roster of students in the late ’70s. The welterweight
dynamo, already an accomplished presence, gave Mr. Dundee, who had dubbed the fighter “a smaller Ali” for his boundless energy and gusto, another champion Nov. 30, ’79, when he dropped Wilfred Benitez in their final round of their battle. Mr. Dundee, who had prepared Ali for wars against the likes of George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Ken Norton, assisted Leonard as he gunned for glory against Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns. Duran, who had defeated Leonard June 20, ’80, could not withstand his adversary’s punches, which had become more lethal courtesy of Mr. Dundee, later that year, as Leonard inflicted so much punishment that his foe famously declared “No mas, no mas,” meaning “No more, no more.” Peltz said Mr. Dundee never vowed to become a pioneer. As a boy, Peltz became aware of Mr. Dundee’s training prowess and observed in his eventual ally a heightened respect for all involved in what could be a brutal business. “I can’t even remember Angelo badmouthing anybody, ever,” he said. Mr. Dundee certainly believed, when many others thought it foolish, that Foreman, an Ali knockout victim in ’74’s “The Rumble in the Jungle,” could again become a world champion. Though 45 years old, Foreman still possessed an impressive skill set in ’94 when Mr. Dundee prepared him for his title shot against Michael Moorer. The fighter and trainer turned back time, as Moorer became Foreman’s 68th and final knockout. Inducted into the Hall of Fame two years earlier, Mr. Dundee needed nothing to prove his legacy, but the Foreman triumph cemented his winner status. It also reinforced a trait he and Foreman shared — courtesy. Though Foreman showed Moorer none of it, his preparation let the press see how jovial he and his trainer were. “He did have a line about it not costing anything more to be nice,” Peltz said. Mr. Dundee also trained actor Russell Crowe for his portrayal of James J. Braddock in 2005’s “Cinderella Man” and moved to Florida two years later to be closer to his son and daughter, Terri. He lost his wife Helen two years ago, but his remaining clan surrounded him when he passed. Peltz said Mr. Dundee often enjoyed countering claims that boxing is diminishing in importance. “He said ‘They’ve buried boxing so many times, they’ve run out of shovels,’” Peltz said. “He was a great spokesman for our mutual passion.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.
