Five troubled area schools learned that Jan. 25, as the School District of Philadelphia included them among 18 facilities in Year II of the Renaissance Schools Initiative. Three comprehensive models will attempt to diminish the numerous woes that the quintet faces. South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., heads the local selections, See RENAISSANCE page 8

nstead of continuing to inspire inquiries on its presence, the SS United States soon may sate locals’ desires for a more enviable Delaware River waterfront. Members of the SS United States Conservancy, the lifeline group for the 59-yearold vessel, announced their acquisition of the ship Feb. 1. The revelation occurred at IKEA, 2206 S. Columbus Blvd., and included two opportunities to board the his-

toric 990-foot craft at its Pier 82 location. The conservancy’s Board President Susan Gibbs and her allies will now seek the best possible new identity for the creation of her naval architect and marine engineer grandfather, the late William Francis Gibbs. Purchasing the ship from Norwegian Cruise Line/Genting Hong Kong, who had owned it since 2003, the conservancy amplifies its efforts to develop “dynamic amenities” to preserve the ship’s “heart and soul,” Gibbs said. The $3-million acquisition caps a fran-

tic two-year sale period and initiates a 20-month stretch during which the conservancy will court contributions through a $1 million fundraising campaign. “We will accelerate our efforts to redevelop the nation’s flagship as a multi-purpose waterfront destination with dynamic hotel, retail, educational and museum offerings,” Gibbs said, citing the spirit and ingenuity the ship has embodied throughout its existence, which includes its July See SS UNITED STATES page 10

To the Editor: In Joseph Myers’ article on the impending retirement of City Council President Anna Verna (“No more counsel for Council,” Feb. 3), he makes reference to a loophole in the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP), which “allows workers to retire, collect their payments and seek a return to office only one day later.” In an effort to lend some clarity to this subject, the loophole can only be exploited by elected officials or appointed employees, not civil servants, for whom the program was intended. I am a Verna supporter, and wish her well in her retirement. She has always worked tirelessly for the benefit of her constituents, serving her community with dignity and grace. I don’t believe that the DROP issue was a factor in her decision to retire, but I believe that a byproduct of her decision is the relief of getting the DROP monkey off her back.

ber: Plow and salt! Perhaps, that is why there is such a problem with ice on Philadelphia streets. Anybody with half a brain realizes that you need salt to melt the snow and ice. Waiting a week after the storm is over will only make cleanup efforts even more difficult. Are you people that are claiming the streets are treated clearly smoking marijuana, living on another planet or something else? Lastly, I am outraged by the fact that the local news programming showed Michael Nutter’s street of his private residence cleared of all snow and clean as a whistle. Talk about a smack in the face or pouring salt into a wound to the rest of this city’s residents. I am surprised that Nutter was not standing outside of his house waving to the rest of the city and holding up a glass of champagne making a toast to the cleanup crew clearing his street while the rest of us are having difficulties dealing with the aftermath of the storm.

Winter weather woes To the Editor: Here we are again having a repeat of the brutal force of Mother Nature with another year of record-breaking snowfall. Well, nobody can control Mother Nature and the weather. However, the City of Philadelphia and our lovely rocket scientists who run City government can control the coordination and cleanup efforts after a storm. If my fellow citizens and myself were to grade the City after a snowstorm, it would clearly be rated an F. This is clearly the result of poor planning and simply lack of care and concern for the safety of South Philadelphia residents. The latest storm took place of Jan. 26 and by Jan. 30, I had heard that all streets in the city had been treated. Are you kidding me? I consider myself — and so do the residents of my street, Juniper Street — to be a little bit lucky that our street was plowed on Jan. 27, but the plow truck forgot to salt the street. This seems to be a typical response if my street is even lucky enough to get plowed. Remem-

Redirecting education funds To the Editor: Regarding the front page article of the Review “Full dream ahead,” (Jan. 27), A. Rahim Islam, and Kenny Gamble propose several programs to pick up the African American community “off its knees.” They created Universal Companies and Promise Neighborhood’s Initiative, and partnered with Diversified Community Services, Foundations Inc. and several others that sound like monster robots, but they do primarily the same thing, i.e. take taxpayer dollars to create even more programs to help people who apparently can’t help themselves. For a century in Grays Ferry where I live, we didn’t need programs. It was within the Catholic family that kids were raised, and morals were instilled. And it was the Catholic families who built the churches, schools, businesses and everything else that made South Philly great. Then big friend government got involved and

created low-income housing projects and Section-8 programs, and an amazing thing happened. Those people who built those neighborhoods started getting shot, killed, robbed and assaulted. So many of them left and took their hard-earned money elsewhere, and the decline continued to our present situation. Here’s just one proposal: Instead of funding more useless programs, start de-funding what does not work now, like public schools for one. Give those same families that money to go to the school of their choice, like a Catholic school, where they won’t get assaulted or killed and where kids have a better chance to learn the truth about marriage and chastity. Curious that none of the “learning institutions” that these programs target to help are Catholic schools. But they want our money and streets.

here have been numerous arguments made about how the folks of Gen Y are lazy, coddled, and self-involved. Many baby-boomers fear that the future of the United States is in ill hands if left up to Gen Y to steer it. A string of recently released survey results concentrating on the loss of traditional gender role skills in the younger generations only echo these concerns. It seems that women are not learning the feminine domestic skills the way their mothers and grandmothers once did. Gen

Y males fall short too on their knowledge of traditional â&#x20AC;&#x153;manlyâ&#x20AC;? skills. A new survey by McCrindell Research concluded that 54 percent of women under 30 were able to hem a garment compared to 87 percent of women in their â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s. Also, 51 percent of women under 30 could cook a roast compared with 82 percent of women from the baby boomer generation. According to an interview done with Mark McCrindle, who carried out the study, Gen Y women are busier juggling more roles and are willing to sacrifice â&#x20AC;?a bit of the homemadeâ&#x20AC;? in order to save more time. What Gen Y women lack in traditional domestic roles, they excel in skills never before seen in previous generations. More women today are taking on traditional masculine tasks, such as mowing the lawn or changing a tire. Gen Y women are also more culinary adventurous in the kitchen, and know how to make stirfry and sushi. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also super tech savvy. ... SPR

fter screaming obscenities about those of Mexican descent and throwing beer cans at a Hispanic employee, an area man was taken into custody. Police responded to San Lucas Grocery, 1526 Tasker St., for a person with a weapon at 9:40 p.m. Feb. 2, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Mark Woodard, 39, of the 1500 block of South 15th Street, allegedly entered the store, shouted offensive racial slurs and smashed the inside food displays with a baseball bat. Woodard also is believed to have thrown beer cans at a 30-year-old employee in addition to breaking the front store window and the man’s automobile windows with the bat, which police later recovered. The employee was unharmed when police arrived, Tolliver said. Woodard was arrested at the scene and charged with ethnic intimidation, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Overhead shot A bullet flew over a man’s head in Dickinson Narrows as he exited his home Sunday. The 48-year-old reported the close call on the 500 block of Pierce Street at 2:50 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When police responded, officers located multiple cars with bullet damage, as well as shell casings along the 400 and 500 blocks of Pierce. No victims were discovered. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Hundreds swiped A senior citizen was robbed after withdrawing money from a West Passyunk bank. The 68-year-old exited Wachovia Bank, 2300 Snyder Ave., at 9:15 a.m. Feb. 3 after taking funds from his account when an unknown man made an effort to swipe his withdrawal envelopes, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man, carrying two envelopes contain-

ing $900 combined, struggled with the thief to obtain a hold on the cash. The robber eventually pried the packets from the man and fled south on South 23rd Street. The thief was described as black with a dark complexion, age 20 to 30, 5-foot-6, 160 pounds and wearing a black jacket, black pants and black boots. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Escape route cut off A North Philly man was caught in the act, as he is believed to have burglarized a Grays Ferry business of copper piping. Roscoe Ezell allegedly was discovered on the roof of Leone’s Meat Packing, 2401 S. 28th St., when police arrived at 2 p.m. Saturday for a burglary in progress, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When the officers climbed on the roof, they supposedly witnessed Ezell using bolt cutters to chop the business’ refrigeration units’ copper pipes. Upon officers confronting him, Ezell allegedly dropped the tools and jumped down to a parking lot before officers surrounded him in a fenced area at the rear of the property. Already cut copper, including some from inside the building, was retrieved in the back area as was a large bag containing tools and a heavy-duty magnet, Tolliver said. Ezell was charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property, criminal trespassing, resisting arrest, criminal mischief and possession of an instrument of crime.

From the captain The 17th District has seen a rise in burglaries in its Police Service Area 3, which spans Dickinson to Moore streets and Broad to 24th streets, 17th District Capt. Anthony Washington said. Typically, entry is gained through the rear of the property and many of the burglaries occur near corners or vacant lots, Washington said. Police suspect the offenders may be nearby residents as the rear access sometimes includes gated or locked alleyways. Repeated incidents have occurred on the 1700 block of Watkins Street; 1800 block of Wilder Street; 1900 block of Pierce

Police Report Street; 2000 block of Morris Street; 2000 block of Dickinson Street; 2300 block of Fernon Street; and the 1700 to 2400 blocks of Tasker Street. To report information, call the 17th District at 215-686-3017.

A man punched his attacker in an attempted mugging that occurred as he made a early-morning trip to his auto to retrieve some items. Walking through Lower Moyamensing to his vehicle, the 35-year-old reached 11th and Jackson streets at about 4 a.m. Jan. 27 when an unknown man pushed him to the ground from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As the victim turned around, he saw the man, who threatened to shoot if he didn’t give up some cash as he stood above him with his hands in his coat pockets. When the man claimed he did not have any money on him, the suspect began to rummage through his pockets. The man punched the offender, which resulted in a brief struggle before the offender fled southbound on South 11th Street. The man, who reported the crime Feb. 3, was unharmed and nothing was taken from him. The suspect was described as white; age 18 to 21; 5-foot-7 with short, dark hair; stubble on his face; and wearing a dark puffy hooded coat and baggy pants. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

burns and enhancing the quality of life of survivors, is educating the public about child burn prevention. Some tips include: • Set your hot water heater to 120 degrees or less. • Never hold a child while cooking, drinking or carrying hot foods or liquids. • Always check the temperature of food before giving it to a child. • Be careful when eating microwaved foods since they may not feel hot to the touch but can still burn. • Never heat infant formula in a microwave. • Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove. • Use the back burners on the stove and always turn pot and pan handles toward the rear. • Supervise children closely when cooking. • Always check the temperature of bath water by moving fingers carefully and rapidly through the water before placing a child in the bath.

which the district chose because of a combination of poor academic statistics, high dropout rates, instances of school violence and neighborhood elements, such as high illiteracy rates and unemployment figures. Joining Southern are James Alcorn School, 3200 Dickinson St.; Charles Y. Audenried Sr. High School, 3301 Tasker St.; Smith Academics Plus, 1900 Wharton St.; and Edwin H. Vare School, 2100 S. 24th St. The move enfolds the schools within Superintendent Dr. Arlene Ackerman’s Imagine 2014 plan through which the Renaissance Initiative already assists 13 institutions. The district will manage Southern, Alcorn and Smith, while Universal Companies, 800 S. 15th St., will convert Audenried and Vare into charter schools. The Renaissance designation will alter each school’s operation for the 2011-12 school year, with new measures and personnel helping to provide the institutes more respectability. Easily the most chronicled of the five, Southern, which 14 months ago witnessed two days of attacks against Asian-American students, has benefitted from the leadership of first-year principal Otis D. Hackney III, but could not avoid distinction as a Renaissance school. On the district’s School Performance Index, which ranges from 1 to 10, with “10” the worst score, it received a “10,” and for the ’09-’10 year, only 16 percent of students proved proficient in mathematics and just 12.7 percent did so in reading on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). “We were aware of the likelihood of receiving help,” Hackney said of his Lower Moyamensing school. “I believe this year, however, we have started to create a culture where students realize certain behaviors are unacceptable.” Southern will follow the guidelines of the Promise Innovation Model in which Hackney will retain his position. It contains 15 elements designed to craft a higher degree of autonomy in school management in exchange for a high degree of performance accountability. This version is likely the most straightforward of the three — with the Promise Academy (Alcorn and Smith) and Promise Neighborhood Partnership (Audenried and Vare) models being the others. The guidelines place no limits on the percentage of current staff that a principal may retain. Teachers will work one additional hour one day per week for professional development and an extra hour two days a week to offer academic intervention. Supplemental enrichment and academic intervention will occur two Saturdays each month. A summer academy will result in a

longer school year, and a week long summer institute will assist staff members a week before school begins. According to district spokeswoman Elizabeth Childs, teachers under the Innovation and Academy models will be eligible for a one-time $4,000 recruitment incentive. Salary rates will undergo adjustments, with longer school days, school years and Saturday classes necessitating bumps. Southern’s students will have one extra hour for academic intervention Tuesdays through Thursdays, and structured enrichment programs will be available Mondays through Wednesdays. Students and staff also will need to adhere to a dress code. One family field trip each month will look to strengthen parental and community input into the building’s operation. “We have to work on keeping up our momentum,” Hackney said. “So many people want more out of their experiences with this school.” AT GRAYS FERRY-BASED Alcorn and Point Breeze-based Smith, most of the procedures will resemble Southern’s, but the Academy model allows only 50 percent retention of the current staff. The principals can remain in their positions only if they have served no more than two years at their schools. The teachers will work an additional hour each day. Most of the Promise Neighborhood Partnership model’s elements will come through meetings between Universal and

the district. The former announced receipt of a $500,000 grant to revitalize Grays Ferry and Point Breeze Jan. 24. The latter chose the 18 schools from a pool of 34, with its selections having higher rates of poverty and lower test scores than those of its collective institutions. Academically, Vare is a slight exception. Its 35 percent PSSA mathematics proficiency is 7 percent higher than the districtwide average, and its 33.2 percent reading mark bests the district’s average by 2.2 percent. Regardless, second-year principal Rachel Marianno knew assistance would come to her Point Breeze facility. “Parents have had mixed reactions because we do not have a full picture of what will be,” Marianno said, adding Universal’s founder Kenny Gamble will surely work hard to help her 325 students. Going forward, she feels Vare can only prosper through the intervention. “I expect our being a Renaissance school to honor the best Vare has and to further our excellence, bringing us to our fullest potential,” she said. In a statement, Ackerman said, “We are excited that Year II of our Renaissance Schools Initiative heightens the impact we can make on the lives of children in schools and communities across the city.” To inspire confidence in the trio of models, the district has started a series of Renaissance Schools’ parent and community meetings. Southern held its Monday, Audenried’s occurred Tuesday and Vare’s

was last night. Tonight at 6, the Smith community will unite, and the Alcorn contingent will gather at the same time Feb. 16. Once the models are in place, the district will, according to Childs, expect “significant growth in the first year, not only for measures of academic progress, but also things like climate and safety, attendance, etc.” Accountability checks, benchmark reviews and staff walkthroughs of schools also will highlight the district’s endeavors. Hackney appreciates his model’s allowing him to retain his best teachers and bring in new personnel. “It is an opportunity to make us better. Who could argue with that?” he said. Helen Gym, a volunteer with Asian Americans United, would not squabble with Hackney but considers the district’s decision an “alarming move.” “It’s stunning for the district to look at what’s been going on at Southern and determine the most important thing the school needs to do is to get a better score on a test, and not be more deeply concerned about the creation of a nurturing and substantive environment for learning,” she said. “The idea is to create a partnership with the school and broader community that ensures that change is sustainable, not just dramatic.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

A ’09 Environmental Protection Agency sampling revealed the chemicals may reside in ship gaskets and flooring material, as well as in some of the interior paint. “We are working closely with environmental consultants and the EPA to deal with this issue so that public health and the environment will be protected,” Gibbs said. Pleased with her group’s cleanup plan, the EPA approved the formal title transfer. “We are eager to hear from many different kinds of businesses with ideas about how the ship could be creatively redeveloped,” Gibbs said of industry interaction. A Nov. 22 conservancy press conference released a feasibility study, scale renderings and a model to hype the ship as an eye catcher in a Delaware River redevelopment initiative.

ment Partners Dec. 16, yet its decision has not drowned the conservancy’s waterfront interest. “While the option of including a highend casino as one component of a redevelopment plan was attractive because of the potential revenue stream, other design and development visions and Delaware River locations are being explored,” Gibbs said noting the conservancy will follow Foxwoods appeal. Once restored, the ship could host concerts and other attractions, Gibbs said. She credits the former owners with inciting the visions ship supporters are looking to bring into focus. “We believe that NCL and Genting understood that they were stewards of an American treasure, and we are profoundly grateful that they did the right thing,” she said. Gibbs knows whatever project the conservancy proposes must enjoy political and community support. “We feel that a refurbished SS United States could become a revenue-raising and job-creating neighborhood asset, as well as a world-class historical attraction worthy of broad public support,” she said.

With passion and imagination, a Passyunk Square resident invents canine apparel that turns dogs into boom boxes.

The Woofer, an invention by EastPassyunk-Avenue-and-DickinsonStreet resident Matthew Baron, helps to make sure that everyone can hear it. “I would say it started about five years ago. I had the idea to make something called a Boom Coat,” Baron said. “You would take a tux jacket and take off the lapels and put in lapels that had speakers built-in and you could plug the iPod into the pocket.” The next generation of the Boom Coat is the Woofer, a canine jacket with built-in speakers that, as the inventor says, “turns your dog in to a boom box.” “People loved [the Boom Coat]. People really responded to it when I’d wear it out on the town. That gave way to the Woofer,” he said. Baron, who has a background in marketing and advertising, believed he had stumbled on a product that would sell itself. Though he had no training in electronics or apparel, the entrepreneur put everything into bringing his idea to market. “I had no experience whatsoever. The only thing that I had was passion, which we talk about in the [Philly] Startup Leaders,” Baron, 32, said of the group that hones technology-based entrepreneurs. “That will drive the

After perfecting his design and putting it on sale a little more than four months ago, Baron has put his skill set to good work and began promotion. “I’ve been busy right now.

Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) leads the quest to reclaim the eagle standard in a ﬁlm based on Rosemary Sutcliff’s adventure novel

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

an we all just finally agree that Channing Tatum is a bad actor? The former Abercrombie & Fitch model, whom casting directors can’t get enough of these days, is the best proof out there that a pretty face and a killer bod do not make a fine performer. Just as he failed to master the art of sappy line-reading in last year’s three-tissue drama “Dear John,” he flies blind in “The Eagle,” shifting from stiffly self-serious to fist-in-the-air angry as if the script and story just sailed right over his head. And that, sadly, is only scratching and sniffing the surface of what stinks in this grueling adaptation of Rosemary Sutcliff’s Ancient-Rome adventure novel, “The Eagle of the Ninth.” If you know your world history, then you’ll at least be familiar with the gravity of the movie’s quest, which sees disgraced centurion Marcus Aquila (Tatum) and his British slave, Esca (Jamie Bell), trek beyond Roman borders to reclaim the empire’s all-important eagle standard, nabbed during the slaughter of his father’s famed Ninth Legion. Do not, however, look to the filmmakers to provide strength of purpose, as they render this journey as urgent as a hike to 7-Eleven. “You wouldn’t understand,” Marcus tells Esca of the Eagle’s sacredness, and with that, we cut to the next scene. Director Kevin Macdonald and screenwriter Jeremy Brock continuously dangle, then draw back, the obvious-yet-unclear details, from what the Eagle truly means to the Republic to the shoddy implied violence, which is toned down to secure a PG-13 rating. It’s like flipping through a coddling children’s book with half of the

sentences erased. And beyond the grating distraction of its supposed Europeans speaking with redblooded American accents, “The Eagle” hasn’t a clue of what to do with its complicated politics, first making a case against the atrocities Rome brought down on Esca’s people, then having the slave flip-flop and join his enemy anyway. Why? For all this movie conveys, it’s because those cool Romans look like Abercrombie & Fitch models.

Isn’t that the holiday that comes around once every four years?” • For Valentine’s Day, give her a gift subscription to Jenny Craig. • Instead of singing “My Funny Valentine” to her this year, recite the words to “Under My Thumb.” • Suggest that the next time she travels to see her sister she buy a one-way ticket because the discount is better. • Buy her a vacuum cleaner for Valentine’s Day and place a pretty red bow on it. •When she asks you if you would give your life for her, act indecisive. • Tell her you can’t take her to dinner this Valentine’s Day because it falls on poker night. • Casually remark that the last time that you found her attractive was because you overdosed on the little blue pill. • When she praises the flowers you bring her, tell her you borrowed them from a friend and they have to be returned by midnight. • If she’s a dog lover, buy her a Michael Vick jersey. • As you’re getting ready for bed each night, clear your throat and say, “time’s yours.” • Sneak out in the middle of the night, leaving behind a note with the lyrics of “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.”

• Take her for midnight ride on the Broad Street subway while you admire the scenery. •If she works for the City, tell her why you hate DROP. For girls: • Get weekly massages from someone named Big Chico. • Talk in your sleep. Breathe deeply and whisper the words Big Chico. • Just as he turns on the Super Bowl prepre-pre-game show, remind him that he agreed to attend the ballet tonight with Joan and Max (and Max is not a football fan). • Tell him your mother is moving in with you, but it’s probably just temporary, like a year. • Start purchasing baby clothes for identical twins. • Say to him, ”honey, would a man still love his wife if she has genital herpes? Hypothetically, I mean.” • Allow him to find out that you’ve just increased his life insurance. Explain it is just because you want to be prepared should anything happen to him. • Tape “The View” so he has to watch it with you every evening. • Every time he tries to tell you a joke, beat him to the punch line. • Tell him that you wanted to write a valentine poem for him, but you couldn’t find a word to rhyme with impotent. • Cut out all the coupons from his morning sports page before he reads it. • Insist he hang up his clothes and change his underwear and socks on a daily basis. (If he doesn’t leave you after that, you might have to consider hiring a hit man.) • Tell him you have enrolled the both of you in a book club and the first five assigned books were written by Lisa Scottoline. Assure him that he will just adore “Message in a Bottle.” • Throw out all his sports scrapbooks and then act surprised when he walks out of your life forever. • Suggest there is no reason why he should have a man cave without you having your own space too. Ensure him the kitchen is not an acceptable location. • Beat him at picking football pools. • Irresponsible use of your credit card is a sure winner. • When he asks you if it was good for you, start singing the Peggy Lee hit, “Is That All There Is?” •When he comes home from work one day, casually mention that you didn’t realize a little fender bender could cause so much damage. After a suitable pause, ask him if he thinks you’re still covered even though you forgot to pay the insurance premiums.

ith the frigid air being what it is, it is a treat to indulge in the rich, warm foods we love. Theresa Strati’s Asparagus and Pasta dish has the richness we crave while being light enough to still enjoy it even on a blistery cold day. The resident of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street blends the taste of luscious sautéed asparagus with a mixture of creamy cheeses to provide the complexity ideal for a wintery meal. Hurry up and make it before spring arrives. SPR

Theresa’s Asparagus and Pasta INGREDIENTS: 1 pound of capellini, cooked according to package directions 1 bunch of fresh asparagus tips 1-1/2 tablespoons of butter 2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced 1-1/2 tablespoons of ﬂour 1 pint of light cream Salt, pepper and nutmeg, to taste 1/4 pound of Prosciutto, thinly sliced 4 ounces of Fontina cheese, grated 2 ounces of sharp provolone, grated 1 cup of milk

DIRECTIONS:

Steam or sauté the asparagus tips until softened but not overcooked. In a large pot, melt the butter on low heat. Add the garlic then whisk in the ﬂour until blended and smooth. While whisking, slowly add the cream. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Blend in the grated cheeses and Prosciutto. Add milk to thin the sauce to desired consistency. Add the cooked pasta and asparagus and toss to coat.

cream. Edward rarely admits a dish is cold, but this one was. We could not understand why the entrée was not piping hot because along with three patrons, we were the only people in the restaurant. Our server advised us that the restaurant was out of flan and tres leches cake. I tried the fried ice cream ($4.50), which was so sweet, I could not enjoy it. Whipped cream covered in multi-colored jimmies added more sweetness. I’ve sampled sopapillas ($4) in any number of Mexican restaurants and always enjoyed them. These ovals of fried dough arrived warm, not hot. A bit of honey was added for sweetness along with a dusting of cinnamon. Tres Jalapenos could benefit from a careful study of what is going on in the

kitchen. The food is bland. Mexican fare should be filled with colorful flavors and textures. I understand the restaurant features Mexican home cooking — comfort food — but there is no reason why it should lack flavor. One tip of the toque to Tres Jalapenos. SPR

edgeable and answered each question with a keen sense of culinary expertise. He helped us make decisions on the downhome-style Mexican menu. Pork quesadilla ($8.95) consisted of three small, yet warm soft flour tortillas filled with tender pieces of meat. We built our own Mexican sandwiches by topping it with lettuce, pico de gallo, Oaxaca cheese, a bit of sour cream (which is American not traditionally used in Mexican cuisine) and some fresh cheese. I asked our server if he could bring us some chopped cilantro to add some flavor to the dish. It helped a little, but the pork truly needed seasoning. For our entrées we selected carne asada ($13) and green enchiladas ($9.25). Regular readers know I like beef rare or medium-rare. Our server said he had to ask the chef if this could be done. Visions of shoe leather immediately popped into my head. The chef agreed and the steak arrived grilled medium-rare. It had more taste than our previous dishes, but I did add a little salt and pepper. The meat was tender. The rice and beans, which arrived in a gratin dish, had a disagreeable brown look. Both were cold. The salad, which was served on the side, was a mix of mesclun, fresh cheese, ripe avocado and sweet onion topped with a light dressing. All it required was a shake of salt and pepper. The enchiladas were cold. Three soft corn tortillas were filled with bland chicken and topped with a flavorful tomatillo sauce, queso fresco, onions and sour

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I february 10, 2011

y sister Sandy and I are addicted to “Top Chef,” Bravo TV’s Emmy Award-winning cooking show. It is the only reality show we have ever watched. The program is entertaining, educational and shows young people, especially aspiring chefs, that the world of the professional kitchen is hard work. One of “Top Chef’s” most interesting guest judges is Toby Young, a British restaurant critic. He is famous for his sometimes brutal culinary assessment and dry wit. On one occasion he described a contestant’s dish as “the bland leading the bland.” This quip sums up every dish Edward and I sampled at Tres Jalapenos, a 3month-old Mexican BYOB near the Italian Market. We happened upon it by accident when we discovered a nearby BYOB was not open on a recent evening. The casual, open room has tables topped with red and white check or blue and white check oil cloth and an array of hot sauces plus salt and pepper shakers. A gentleman told us we could sit wherever we wished since the place was nearly empty. He opened our wine with professional ease and brought us two pretty wine glasses which he said “came with the restaurant.” A server brought us complimentary chips, salsa and guacamole. The chips required a sprinkling of salt, the salsa was fine, but the guacamole screamed for lime juice. I liked the texture, however. The gentleman who opened our wine advised he is from Peru. He was knowl-

For those out there lacking a Valentine, here’s a fun idea to take your mind oﬀ of romance: Have a dinner party. Tell cupid to stay home. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of heavy cream 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier 6 ounces of German’s sweet chocolate, broken up

Directions: Boil the cream in a small heavy pot over medium heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons, for about five minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Grand Marnier and chocolate and return to a low heat until the chocolate melts. Whisk in the butter. When the mixture is smooth, pour into a shallow bowl and refrigerate until firm, for about 40 minutes. Scoop the chocolate up with a teaspoon and shape into 1-inch balls. Roll the truffle balls in the unsweetened cocoa. Store the truffles, covered, in the refrigerator. Let the truffles stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Makes 24 truffles. Note from Phyllis: You can substitute dark rum, Cognac, brandy, Kahlua, framboise or amaretto for the Grand Marnier. You also can roll the truffles in chopped nuts or jimmies.

■ New Bittersweet Brownies ■ from “Pure Desserts” by Alice Medrich

Ingredients:

8 ounces of 70 percent bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into several pieces

3 large eggs, beaten 1 cup of sugar Scant 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of all-purpose ﬂour

Directions: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with foil. Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set it in a wide skillet of almost-simmering water. Stir frequently until the mixture is melted and smooth and quite warm. Remove from the pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla with a hand-held mixer on high until the eggs are thick and light colored, about two minutes. Whisk in the warm chocolate. Fold in the flour. Scrape the batter into the lined pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, for about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack. Invert the brownies on a rack and peel off the foil. Turn right-side-up on a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares. Makes 16 brownies.

■ Chocolate Trufﬂes ■

from “Silver Palate Cookbook 25th Anniversary Edition” by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins

1/2 stick of unsalted butter, at room temperature Powdered unsweetened cocoa

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I february 10, 2011

n her book “The Diana Chronicles,” British journalist Tina Brown, former editor of “Vanity Fair” and founder of “The Daily Beast,” described the annual New Year’s Eve dinner Princess Margaret hosted each year “for a few strays.” The Queen’s sister, who died in 2002, had been divorced for a number of years and sometimes found herself without an escort. On the evening before 1981 dawned, Margaret invited the future Princess of Wales who found herself without a date on that night. Diana was not invited to Sandringham to ring in the New Year with the royals. I began to think about something fun for all those who are dateless on Valentine’s night. Let’s face it, Valentine’s Day is overrated. Sure, it’s nice to receive a real valentine which was purchased in a shop or a big box of chocolates nestled in a red heart-shaped box tied up with red velvet ribbon. But dining in a restaurant on the most romantic evening of the year is not my idea of romance. Why not throw a party for a “few strays” even though you might be married, engaged, ready to move in with your partner or happily unattached? If there are unbirthdays in “Alice in Wonderland,” there could be an un-Valentine’s Day dinner party.

You can have fun with the dress code. If men want to don a dinner jacket, I say go for it. Men look sexy in tuxedos. I doubt the women would want to swan around your home or apartment in ball gowns, but a cocktail dress is a comfortable alternative. I say everyone must wear something red. Sophia Loren once told me she always wears something red every day (use your imagination). Your un-Valentine’s Day dinner could be sit-down or buffet, especially if there will be more than eight guests. Close friends can bring a dish but make sure there are no duplicates. Ask someone to keep a watchful eye on the bar, which I would set up in the kitchen. Since this is an un-Valentine’s Day dinner, no aphrodisiacs, please. The list includes oysters, asparagus, almonds, avocados, bananas, basil, eggs, figs, foie gras and chocolate. Ok. I draw the line at chocolate.

You filled our lives with wisdom, warmth and love and we always knew that you were a blessing from above. Our hearts still ache for you. But, it is the strength and faith that you have showed us though the years that gives us the hope that we will see you again in heaven. We know that you are with us and watching over us. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and love you shared with all of us. We miss you every moment of everyday. Love always and truly forever, Your husband Harry, Children, Grandchildren and Family

A portrait is seared deep with our hearts ... Your blue eyes, crooked smile and curly hair is part of the profile we long to see kiss and touch... It’s been 20 years and yet it seems like only a short time ago that you were gone in a flash from “us”... How could this be “you” of all people gone from our us!! Tomorrow came for ‘You” and we’ve been left here with “forever”, so “forever” you’ll be in our hearts.

Palumbo jumbo

A big season from a Hawthorne-based boys’ basketball team proved the third time can really be the charm. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

he third act usually intensifies a drama’s action, blending expectation with mystery. The boys’ basketball team at The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., made its third season akin to any worthwhile dramatic composition, crafting appreciation for what has come and fostering wonder for what may be. Under the guidance of Steve Gittleman, the Griffins have made their school, now in its fifth year of operation, a powerful member of the Public League’s Division D. As the victors in 19 of their 21 regular season games, they were the picture of adolescent confidence Monday as they prepared for Tuesday’s home playoff contest against Thomas E. FitzSimons High School. “We started as a varsity sport right away, even though we had no seniors our first year,” Gittleman said of his squad’s brief history. “We had good players when we began, and last year we had a decent team, too.” Losing seven seniors to graduation last year had the towering coach thinking a long season would be his fate. “I’m stunned,” he said of the team’s regular season mark, which included a 10-1 record in division play — the lone defeat coming against division champ Audenried. “I had not envisioned a winning season.” The team proved that its coach should never consider a career as a psychic. Monday’s practice featured crisp passing, enviable leaping, accurate shooting and smothering defending, the last of which Gittleman said made the campaign so fruitful. Leading scorer Demetrius Davenport shows off the offensive skills that powered Palumbo to its most successful season. The junior guard will again be the Grifﬁns’ main threat next season. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

“We thrive off our defense,” the retired teacher said. “We get anywhere between 15 and 20 steals a game. We tire teams out.” Being in love with hoops never fatigues Gittleman. It led him to the Hawthorne-based school after secondary stays at Bryn Mawr’s Akika Hebrew Academy and Northeast’s Abraham Lincoln High School. “Athletic director Erik Goldstein asked me to start the program here,” he said of making the transition to South Philadelphia. Formerly the athletic head at Northeast’s Swenson Arts and Technology High School, Gittleman accepted the offer, placing him among players whose speed could make gazelles jealous. An already strong team became stronger when football season ended, as the addition of more bodies gave him more substitution options. Gittleman used at least eight players each game, with two extra frames prepared to hit the court if foul trouble plagued their teammates. “I get stronger when I substitute, and, most times, other teams can’t match me,” he said of the rotation. It is fitting that he is fond of substituting, as the school enables him to pursue another form as a substitute teacher. “During basketball season, it is easy to substitute because I am here with my guys,” he said. To them, Gittleman, who also coached the women’s basketball team at Community College of Philadelphia and played for the University of Southern Mississippi, is not a secondary voice; he is the chief influence. “I’ve matured over the years,” senior forward Vincent Christopher said. “I credit coach for helping me to develop an outside shot and for giving me confidence to attack the basket.” “Vincent is a hard worker,” Gittleman said of Christopher, a West Philadelphia resident who was one of six

Griffins with more than 100 points this season. “His leadership has encouraged other players to step up.” GITTLEMAN HAS NOT needed to force his personnel to give maximum effort during his tenure. In their first year, the Griffins amassed a 10-8 record and scored a playoff appearance. Last year’s version registered a 14-9 mark and another postseason trip. Neither team recorded a playoff win, however. “We set goals at the beginning of the year. The first was to make the playoffs. The second was to win a playoff game, and the last was to get to 20 wins,” Gittleman said, adding that the Public League’s limiting teams to 22 games makes any 20-win season a rarity. Unfortunately, the Griffins still remain in search of that first playoff victory after dropping Tuesday’s preliminaryround contest to FitzSimons, 50-45. Junior guard Sharif Smith led them with 18 points. But the players did met Gittleman’s expectations for a stellar defensive year. Heading into the playoff tilt, they had yielded more than 50 points only eight times. Their lone setbacks came Dec. 20, a 61-44 loss to Division A member Fels, and Jan. 24, a 63-59 heartbreaker to Audenried, 3301 Tasker St. The latter defeat kept the Griffins from the No. 1 playoff seed but did nothing to make Gittleman think his team could not topple the top teams. “Our defense hasn’t worked only one time,” he said, referring to the Fels loss, a disappointment they avenged Jan. 31 with a 54-41 win. Though the defense has been firm, Gittleman and the players love offense, using “Put the ball in the basket” as a mantra. The Griffins failed to score at least 50 points only twice during the regular season. They averaged 62.1 points per game, with junior star Demetrius Davenport, of Fifth and Bainbridge streets, leading the way with his 20.9 points per contest. “I’ll do whatever I can so this team can win,” Davenport, who enjoyed his first injury-free season, said. “I like that coach put so much on me. I thrive off responsibility.” Davenport has not found this season’s success as stunning as Gittleman has. “We had the drive all along; we just needed to be cohesive,” the guard said. Being cohesive means that although Davenport is the showcase scorer, everyone needs to contribute. “We need five guys to win a game, not just one,” Davenport, who is already thinking about the next level, said. “Hard work and dedication brought us this far,” Christopher said of the team’s third quest for postseason glory. “We’ve all worked hard to be where we are.” SPR Contact Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I february 10, 2011

Edward Bok Tech football coach Tom DeFelice has been named the recipient of the Robert T. Clark Award for his lifetime contributions to high school football. The honor is one of many that will be handed out at the March 4 Maxwell Club National Awards dinner March 4 in Atlantic City. DeFelice, who announced his retirement earlier this school year, has spent 43 years at Eighth Mifflin streets, including 18 as the Wildcats head football coach. He is departing with an 129-50-1 record, which includes three-straight Public League Class AA titles and an .828 winning percentage in Philadelphia Public League play.

nated by Mastery North, 67-44. Philadelphia Electric, who plays its home games at EOM, 138 Moore Street, is the top-seed in the Class AAA bracket and will host Germantown at 3:15 this afternoon. The playoffs resume Monday with round-of-16 matchups followed by the Feb. 18 quarterfinals at neutral sites. SPR
