With gas prices approaching $4 per gallon, how has your daily commute been affected? “I haven’t had a car since high school. This is my second year in college, and I’ve been able to get everywhere I need to on my bike. I take advantage of everything being so close.� James Lamar, Center City
“My commute isn’t affected, but my husband’s is. He goes to New Jersey every day, which is about a half-hour drive, so it gets expensive. He has no choice other than to drive because [public transportation] doesn’t go to where he works.� Elizabeth Terenchin, Broad and Moore streets “I’ve never owned a car. I pretty much walk everywhere or take public transportation if I need to. It’s cheaper, easier and better for the environment.� Riley Chaisson, Snyder Avenue and Chadwick Street
“I ride my bike and take the subway. I personally think gas prices should be high, so that people drive less.� Jill Garland, 12th and McKean streets Interviews by Bobby Kittredge Photos by Samantha Byles

Causing more pain To the Editor: All of the turmoil, heartache and disruption caused by the Blue Ribbon Commission, implemented by retired Archbishop Justin Rigali, in my opinion, was a diversion from the devastating sex crimes committed by these pedophile priests. Did we faithful followers have to be subjected to all the pain and suffering of not knowing the future of our children? Schools closing, regional schools opening — what a disgrace and now everything is back to square one. The upheaval of emotions is horrific. In my opinion, another distraction from those crimes and the upcoming trials is the changes in the wording of the mass! What a joke. Once again the wool was being pulled over our eyes. Mary Focoso South Philadelphia
Plugged in but disconnected To the Editor: Has the digital revolution consumed your world? Do you get anxious if you have not sent out a text or checked your Facebook within the past few hours? I find the concept of “Facebooking� someone that is part of my inner circle quite awkward. And following a friend on Twitter, so I can tweet them, I find even more ridiculous. If I want to communicate with someone, it’s as simple as picking up the phone and calling them if we are not able to meet up. And, I find it peculiar, routinely witnessing groups of teenagers interacting with each other in this day and age. The other day I was at my neighborhood pizza shop waiting for my order to be ready. I witnessed four teenage girls sitting in a booth together. For 10 minutes, they hardly said a word to each other. All of their heads were down operating their Androids and iPhones. When the pizza guy hollered out, “Girls, your order is ready,� they finally made eye contact with each other to make the decision who was going to grab the food. Once the decision was made, they instinctively all looked back down at their phones like clockwork. I am one of the few 30-somethings that has yet to create a Facebook account and I have gotten along just fine without my 300 so-called friends. Call me old school, but I have always
been a proponent of quality verses quantity, especially when it comes to friendships. If I need to post to a friend what music I am into or what movies I like, I would not consider that person my friend. As a result of the tech-boom, new social problems have emerged such as cyber-bullying, which has already had devastating effects on society. Texting while driving is a multigenerational crisis with a staggering number of deaths already linked to it. People that are consumed with social networking prefer to be focused on something else instead of living for the here and now. If this is social progress, I am not plugging into it. Jason Kaye Northeast Philadelphia
Control of birth control To the Editor: Tom Cardella made some excellent points in his essay on contraception (“The contraception controversy,� Feb. 16). According to the First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom, the federal government must respect
V I E W Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion
the right of the Catholic church to determine what health coverage it can morally provide to its employees. The president even permitted an exception to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for church-affiliated institutions that permits insurance coverage for contraception but not at the expense of the church or employee. That all seems fair enough. But not for some. Not satisfied with the Hyde Amendment of 1976, banning all federal money from funding abortion, some church officials want funding for contraception also banned entirely from the law. Here is a cautionary note. Many Catholic institutions accept federal aid for their operations. Whenever there is tax money involved, eligibility rules follow. In other words, strings. The only way to have complete freedom from government interference, the church must do without tax money. That goes for health insurance or school vouchers. Something to think about, eh? Gloria C.

e believes he’s the father and he wasn’t happy about that news,” Capt. James Clark of Homicide Division said of Aaron Fitzpatrick at a press conference Feb. 16 at Police Headquarters, 750 Race St. Fitzpatrick, 19, of the 2000 block of South Eighth Street, is believed to have been dating Tiffany Gillespie, 24, of the 2300 block of South Mildred Street Aaron for several months, Fitzpatrick Clark said. Fitzpatrick visited his pregnant girlfriend at her home that she shared with her two young children, her mother, possibly her mother’s boyfriend and one or two other relatives at 2:23 a.m. Feb. 16. Police believe the two, who, Clark said, have had a “tumultuous relationship,” may have gone down to the basement to chat when Fitzpatrick allegedly shot her once in the head and fled from the home. Police had been called to Gillespie’s home for domestic disputes previously, the captain said. Officers returned to the location at 2:40 that morning and medics pronounced Gillespie dead 14 minutes later. “We knew she had a lot of ongoing issues with her boyfriend, so we focused on him right away,” Clark said. Police brought Fitzpatrick — who has multiple addresses on his record including the 700 block of Tree Street and the 2000 block of South Garnet Street, but was processed under the Eighth Street location — to Homicide Division at noon and arrested him after questioning. He was charged with murder, first-degree murder of an unborn child, possession of an instrument of crime and firearm violations, according to court records. He is being held in Northeast Philly’s Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility without bail.
Infectious crime A man threatened to infect a Bella Vista business manager with HIV via a needle if he did not supply him with money. The offender approached a 38-year-old man inside his place of employment at Chapterhouse Café and Gallery, 620 S.
Ninth St., at 5:45 p.m. Sunday and after learning he was a manager, asked him to step outside, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The supervisor agreed and walked to the front of the business where the man handed him a note that read, “I don’t want to hurt you. Give me the money from the register. I have HIV needles and a knife. I know I will get caught eventually. But I have to do this to save my girl. It ain’t worth your life.” The offender pulled a syringe from his pants pocket and tried to stab the man, but a passer-by separated the two, Tolliver said. The offender ran north on Ninth and west on South Street. The manager was unharmed and did not turn over any money, Tolliver said. The suspect was described as white, age 20 to 25, 5-foot-8, thin; having short, brown hair, no facial hair and acne scarring on his face; and wearing a black North Face hoody and black jeans. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.
Inside job Teens robbed a customer inside a West Passyunk takeout eatery last week. The 39-year-old woman was inside a Chinese takeout spot on the 2200 block of South 22nd Street when two men pushed her against the glass in the establishment and a third man grabbed her purse, which contained $300, credit cards and ID, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The trio fled northbound on 22nd. One of the suspects was described as black with a medium complexion, age 17 to 18, 6-foot, thin; having a “MOB” tattooed under his right eye; and wearing a black Hollister hoody and black sweatpants. There was no description for his fellow culprits aside from them being teens. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

The offender — who was described as black with a medium complexion, age 30 to 35, 6-foot, thin; having short hair; and wearing a white and brown hoody and blue jeans — fled in an unknown direction, Tolliver said.

he George C. Platt Memorial Bridge, which carries an average of 56,000 vehicles a day, is undergoing long-term lane closures into next week to prepare for “much needed repairs” on the 61-year-old structure, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Construction crews began working Monday night and will continue through Tuesday placing concrete barriers on the bridge to restrict eastbound and westbound traffic from two lanes to one, in order to adhere to PennDOT’s $43 million bridge-improvement project that will be ongoing through June 2014. In order for construction crews to safely set the concrete barriers in place, Platt Bridge will be closed and detoured during the overnight operation. A schedule has been provided for drivers to plan ahead for the remaining days of construction. The Westbound Platt Bridge will be closed 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Today, Monday and Tuesday. Detour signs will be intact to direct drivers around the bridge during the overnight closures, but PennDOT advises motorists to use alternate routes or plan for delays.

Three men attempted to hold up a pizza shop deliveryman in Grays Ferry Sunday night. The employee of Domino’s Pizza knocked on the door of a home on the 1500 block of South Taney Street where an order was to be delivered at 11 p.m. when a man outside of the dwelling walked up to him and said, “Give me your money” and pulled out a black handgun, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Two other men were standing with him. When the victim noticed a patrol car nearby, he yelled, “Police” and the offenders headed north on Taney. Police did not have a detailed description of the suspects available at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

AUTISM continued from page 1 Lord School, 1248 Jackson St. Courtesy of the Germantown-based Green Tree School, which empowers special-needs individuals through various measures, the diner will begin to better its interaction with autistic individuals by participating in a March 19 training session. At home, family members have no problem interacting with one another. Christopher eagerly played a board game with his mother, sister Samantha, 9, and brother Louis, 3, in their home on the 2600 block of South Chadwick Street before meeting friends for outside activities. His day may sound customary for someone similarly aged, but it marked another triumph in his wrestling with a form of autism spectrum disorder. “Christopher was diagnosed in the fall of 2008,” Bressi said, noting his status prompted her to pursue a career in offering assistance to parents of special-needs children. As she had associated autism with poor or limited speaking skills, she had not expected her offspring to receive that classification because he has always possessed deft language abilities. Expressive language sometimes troubles Christopher as he contends with a sensory processing disorder, with occasional declines in attention and focus and bouts with frustration stemming from desires for order also presenting challenges, though Epiphany’s assistance has aided him greatly. As no uniformity marks children on the spectrum, his mother stressed practicing patience and intensifying awareness when spending time with autistic children. Her clan’s late January visit to the Penrose gave her proof of the work that must occur for acceptance to be persistent, though Bressi had foreseen a typically enjoyable Saturday evening in its confines. “We had enjoyed many meals there,” she said. The aforementioned date brought no such comfort, as management belittled her by voicing gripes about the condition of a menu that Christopher had handled, she said. “It was poor judgment on their part in reacting to a menial situation,” Bressi said. Christopher profusely apologized, with his mother announcing her son’s condition as a way to have the employees understand his action, which involved adjusting the order guide’s spiral holder. When matters intensified, she decided to leave yet had to compensate the diner for the menu. “I was mortified,” Bressi said. “I just did not understand why it had to escalate into
Melissa Bressi, right, and son Christopher demonstrated their intense bond by playing a board game Monday afternoon. The mother and her husband Tom hope last month’s tense situation leads to enhanced community awareness of autism. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
something so hurtful.” Penrose owner Dimitri Kolovos, who was not present at the time of the incident, issued a televised apology that Bressi let her children view to facilitate forgiveness. As his staff is sizeable, his location will require at least one more consultation. For next month’s gathering and whatever future assistance he receives, he is happy and sees such guidance as mandatory for similar establishments. “Everyone in the service industry needs to be aware of different situations,” he said. LOUIE BERMAN CANNOT surmise why the Bressis’ situation exploded either, but he wants no equivalent dilemma ever to outrage another family. A resident of the 100 block of McClellan Street, he has an autistic son and serves on the board of Green Tree School. The head of Louie’s Voice, which provides guidance through its “Speaking up for Autism” mantra, he learned of the Penrose incident and saw an opportunity to convey knowledge. “I knew I had to find the means to secure some sense of resolution,” the Pennsport dweller said. As one out of every 110 U.S. children faces autism, according to Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, he knew his idea would need to be capable of being replicated. “I talked with Penrose people and told them of sensitivity training options,” Berman said. Meeting acceptance, he corresponded with Green Tree, which, Executive Director Dr. Herman Axelrod said, assists nearly 100 students from almost 40 schools daily. “Autistic children often have amazing abilities,” Dr. Eric Mitchell, a Green Tree consulting psychologist, said. Like Bressi, he pinpointed the lack of a universal autistic trait to accentuate diligence in approaching a situation involving an affected person. “If you know one person with autism, that’s just it, you know one person with autism,” he said. For six years, his employee has fostered a sister organization, the Green Tree Partnerships. The school has designed the initiative to “assist institutions in building their capacities through a broad range of innovative, data-driven educational approaches that have helped numerous students make behavioral, social and academic progress,” according to its website. Mitchell has conducted many seminars
for Green Tree and will likely guide the upcoming session at the Penrose, during which Green Tree pupils will interact with some of Kolovos’ staff to become more prepared to serve nontraditional populations fairly and respectfully. “Such sessions make for more friendly places for everyone,” Axelrod said. “When a place recognizes the value of differences, it’s good for business,” Mitchell added. Kolovos expressed regret for the harrowing event. “I am sorry for what happened,” he said. “I feel fortunate that we are going to have a chance to have something positive come out of all this.” Bressi and husband Tom have found resolve by reflecting on the might that has carried them throughout Christopher’s entire life. “Such an experience never needs to happen to another family, and this time, no matter how frustrating it has appeared, can bring some good,” she said.

APPEALS continued from page 1 will stay open because I want the kindergarteners to graduate from here, too.” Completing a year of studying enrollment, nances and subsidies, the Archdiocese-appointed Blue Ribbon Commission recommended the closing or merging of 45 elementary and four high schools last month. Though public word came Friday, St. Gabriel’s Rev. John Zagarella learned a day earlier that his institution’s Jan. 19 appeal of the commission’s design to send their pupils 1.4 miles away to St. Thomas had met favor. “We have been given a great gift,” he said shortly before the students streamed from the building with signs declaring their joy. A history of losing schools, including St. John Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., now Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., at which he taught and served as president, has left St. Gabriel as Grays Ferry’s lone parochial presence, and Zagarella and Principal Sister Noreen Friel used that and safety concerns to note the necessity of their turf’s existence. Though St. Gabriel has received parish subsidies for years, it will remain open and become a mission school, which entails receiving support from the Archdiocese, enlisting pastors as members of the board that will run the locale; obtaining outside funds and creating endowments, Superintendent of Schools Mary Rochford said at Friday’s archdiocesan disclosure. St. Thomas also will receive that status. Zagarella and his personnel made it their mission to revel Friday, as the children readied to see if their instructors’ dancing talent could match theirs. “We want to thank you for helping us to live the dream,” Sister Santa Theresa said to Zagarella and Friel. The community had prayed to St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, dubbed “The Little Flower,” for intercession. As believers hold that the saint acknowledges requests by granting petitioners roses, Zagarella and Friel accepted bouquets before accepting a call to perform the Mummers’ strut. The students dedicated Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” to the St. Gabriel faculty and staff as impromptu break dancing kept the youngsters, like fth-grader Tyler McNabb, thrilled. “I cried so much when I heard we might merge,” the resident of the 2600 block of Catharine Street said. “Now I am excited.” Zagarella, whose employees had worried about their site’s future for six weeks, felt similarly enlivened. “We’re just so grateful to God,” he said. FRIDAY’S DISMISSAL AT Marconi’s St. Richard possessed a relaxed vibe, as Principal
First-grader Devon Myers showed his off his legs’ talent to the delight of the St. Gabriel’s community. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
Marianne Garnham and her 262 charges breathed more easily knowing Chaput had spared them. The first-year head and Rev. William Kaufman offered their appeal Jan. 25, with hefty enrollment and views on sustainability leading their arguments. “This has been a very delicate situation,” Garnham said. The commission had proposed to send the youths 1.3 miles away to Stella Maris, which closed in June 2010. The review committee instead elected to have Holy Spirit’s 141-member student body travel 0.6 miles to its closest Catholic neighbor to form a regional school. At 86 percent capacity, St. Richard will be able to accommodate the newcomers, Garnham said, by creating classrooms out of unutilized space. “With so many children, we had to appeal,” she said of sustaining an identity, albeit a soon-to-be modied one, for the school. A council consisting of stakeholders will determine the site’s new name by March 25. Choosing school colors, a mascot and other elements will follow. By that date,
=the Archdiocese will have chosen the 23 regional locations’ principals, Rochford said. With St. Richard’s impending changes, current employees will lose their positions and will need to reapply. Garnham will be eligible for any open administrative position yet cared Friday more about gaining some solace than pondering her future. “I am going to have an excellent night’s sleep,” she said. Parents can have similarly sound evenings if they had feared a school’s closing would mean preparing their children for sacraments elsewhere, as rst communion and conrmation will continue to occur at one’s parish, according to the commission’s website. Pastors, pastoral councils and nance committees will guide the use of each closing building, while the restructuring plan will help to maintain affordable tuition rates that will not decrease. St. Richard, along with Epiphany and St. Nicholas of Tolentine, 913 Pierce St., which will merge with Annunciation B.V.M., 1148 Wharton St., will host an

P
ennsport and Whitman residents will protest the closing of two neighborhood Catholic schools tonight. The rally will kick off at 6:30 p.m. at Third and McKean streets. Organizers are encouraging protestors to bring banners, signs or pictures and for their children to dress in school uniforms. Those against the merger question the revised school closings, as they fear the closure of the last two South Philly parochial schools east of Sixth Street will lead to the shattering of the churches, as well as the communities. Parents, church members and community members will be asking the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to reconsider the revised decision as neither Mount Carmel nor Sacred Heart of Jesus provided the financial and enrollment data used in Epiphany of Our Lord’s or St. Richard’s appeal. SPR —Samantha Byles
open house March 25. “This entire Blue Ribbon Commission process has led people to approach us with creative ideas, solutions and resources that help us to continue our mission to provide families access to an affordable, quality Catholic education,” Chaput said in a statement. “We have engaged a whole new group of people and reengaged others that will help to make the future of Catholic education a bright one. Epiphany’s Rev. John Pidgeon is striving to have his parishioners believe the archbishop wholeheartedly. Under Principal Patricia Cody, his school educates 293 pupils, 53 percent of its capacity. Mount Carmel, with 140 students, and Sacred Heart of Jesus, with 191, faced dilemmas because of their compact size and large subsidies. At 1.2 and 1.5 miles, respectively, from Epiphany, the institutions should greatly alter the Lower Moyamensing site’s enrollment, as the Archdiocese has mandated their students attend their partnering school to continue their Catholic education. “We have to understand it is OK to be angry and to respect different views,” Pidgeon, who led a meeting of the three schools’ brass Friday night, said of mixed feelings expressed about bonding. The priest and his cohorts are deciding how to proceed in unifying the children even though a name change will bring about novelty to the regional site. “We cannot really say we won,” he said. “We are losing some of our identity, but good will come from the situation.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

From his Moyamensing Avenue studio, a local DJ works on his album while highlighting many of Philly’s greatest offerings. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
S
tephen Garbesi, also known as DJ Breezy, was mixing beats in his 1130 W. Moyamensing Ave. studio, when founding partner and artist Brandon Tomasello, 19, began to sing. This was the first time, though they were lifelong friends, that Garbesi had heard him belt a tune. “I was making a hip-hop track in the studio and Brandon was singing [Frank Sinatra’s] ‘My Way.’ I was like, ‘What the hell are you singing? That would sound pretty good on this hip-hop song I am doing,’” Garbesi, 20, said. “And I was like, ‘Damn, you have a voice.’” Since then, Tomasello became the first artist from the duo’s production company FIMA, which stands for Film Image Music and Animation. Tomasello sings a range of Sinatra classics, and Garbesi DJs for him. “We started this two years ago, started at FIMA in
Lifestyles South Philly,” Garbesi, who lives on the 3100 block of South Sydenham Street, said. “Now it’s a success. We [were] at the [Resorts] Superstar Theater in Atlantic City, N.J. We’re moving up more and more.” For his own part, in addition to producer/ DJ for Tomasello, Garbesi is working on his own musical work, with the latest release in perfect alignment with Black History Month. The single, “Had a Dream,” draws inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Had a Dream” speech. “I was looking at what he went through in his life. He died pursuing his dream. The song we created, it’s an inspirational song using him as a metaphor, using him as an anchor,” he said. “He said, ‘I have a dream,’ but I say, ‘had a dream.’ That’s the twist I put to it. It’s about not giving up on your dream and to pursue it to the full extent.” The song is one among multiple projects Garbesi currently has on his plate. In addition to an album he’s working on, Garbesi continues to design websites for clients — which was his first line of work, as well as putting together 215philly.com, a user-generated-content site for Philly’s greatest spots. “215 — that’s the name of the group we have. It’s two singers and three hip-hop
artists. Well, it’s mainly going to be two people doing the hip-hop,” Garbesi said of the performance group that lends its name to the corresponding website. “It’s hip-hop and R&B and pop, more geared toward on the beach crowd, and 18- to 40-year-olds is who it’s targeted to.” The site is still being prepped to launch, and Garbesi hopes to stage a show with the 215 group this coming summer at the Shore, though no plans are currently solid. For now, he is working on booking a more extensive tour with Tomasello in the coming weeks. “I would say my biggest dream, and I’m sure Brandon would say this also that it would be perfect, is to play in New York at that stadium, Madison Square Garden. That would be one of my main dreams. And for a producer, it would definitely be [to work with] Dr. Dre or, for Brandon’s stuff, to meet John Williams,” Garbesi said. “That would be a dream to meet him. Two people I would love to meet.” GARBESI, BORN AND raised on the 1600 block of Jackson Street, met Tomasello in grade school. “I’d say this is going back to, I would say, all the way back to fifth grade when I started making films,” Garbesi, who
moved to Packer Park by the age of 14, said. “I was into photo and video, the first thing that inspired me was ‘Star Wars’ special effects. That film, at that time, I wanted to make ‘Star Wars’ movies and do the effects.” Garbesi and Tomasello, students at Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School, 2600 S. Broad St., made a film in eighth and ninth grades. Though they decided their first venture wasn’t good enough for the public eye, they let their talent shine through. “It was called ‘Into the Sun.’ It was about a fighter pilot whose mother died and his young friend dies. It was feature length but it never got out. We did the whole film, but the only thing we did put out there was the trailer,” Garbesi said. Soon after the partners formed FIMA and outfitted it as a video- and post-production center, they realized they wanted to refocus the business on music, with website creation and design as an ongoing job. “By 11th or 12th grade I said, ‘I think we should make a recording studio at FIMA Productions.’ So we sold most of our film equipment and started buying audio equipment. We had a booth and switchboard and produced most of my album,” he said. Garbesi later decided not to release his
first album, as he didn’t “want people to see that image” of him. During this recording process, however, was when Garbesi first heard Tomasello sing and the two embarked on launching his career as the first under the FIMA label. “We went into producing big band music, which is a big leap from hip-hop,” Garbesi said. “I’ve always had interest in other genres of music, but just recently I said to Brandon ‘I love doing this but I want to start going back on my album.’” Now, Garbesi finds himself with a successful artist launched, a multitude of projects in the wings and a hopeful look toward the future. He anticipates that his upcoming releases will reflect the more positive life he was fortunate to find. “My first album was more street and death and stuff that happened in my life. A lot of my friends died way too early … People would say to me, ‘Your music is very dark.’ I was in a dark part of my life,” he said. “But now I’m in a part of my life with Brandon so that the music I was once making is no longer with me. I found myself as an artist doing what I do now.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

n a cold, gray afternoon my wife and I visited the National Museum of American Jewish History at Fifth and Market streets. Although my wife is a first generation Italian-American and I am second generation, in a strange and wonderful way we have been influenced by Jewish culture. In visiting this gleaming, modern repository of Jewish history in America, we were visiting part of our own past. My wife’s aunt married a Jewish man. Their children were raised as Jews. In those days inter-faith marriages were not much easier than marriage between the races. Some of the family were not very accepting, but not so my wife. Their relationship was warm and loving, and went beyond the normal familial ties when she went to work for her cousin’s travel agency. Some of them are now gone, but our ties have lasted with her cousin’s daughter and husband, and we hope into succeeding generations. My own cultural background was enriched by the Jewish experience through happy circumstance. For most of the first seven years, I lived with my parents in an apartment house around Seventh and Jackson streets. We shared the building with Jews. I first took notice of the opposite sex when I found Bela, a beautiful playmate with flaming red hair. Our friendship was marked by our conspiracy to clog the toilets with toilet tissue. A spanking was meted out. But not to Bela, who was nowhere to be found when it was time for the punishment. After I turned 7, my parents purchased a home on Fifth Street between Jackson and Wolf. The neighborhood had sharp dividing lines across religious and racial lines. The side streets below Jackson were mainly Irish with black families living on the side streets above Jackson. The main street where we moved was Jewish. We were the first Italians to move there. Because we had spent time living a couple of blocks away, my parents were already comfortable living in a Jewish neighborhood. If I had any prejudices, Bela had pretty much wiped those away. As my wife and I visited the various exhibits in the Jewish Museum, my thoughts went back to the old neighborhood. I saw evidence of how our cultural experience had mingled with that of the Jews. The faded photos of the immigrants passing through Ellis Island could easily have been the faces of our own relatives.
The photo of an old deli in New York looked very much like Stein’s Deli across the street from me where my mother would send me to buy green tomatoes and pickles from huge barrels (I can still smell the vinegar and dill spices), the chunks of unsalted butter that we had come to favor, the thinly sliced corned beef and pastrami, and smoked fish (which caused my non-Jewish friends to wrinkle up their nose in disgust, and a spicy stick of Jewish salami that mom called “butcherwurst.” There was a dairy store that only sold butter and eggs and a fish store where row upon row of fresh fish on ice fascinated a young boy. Our neighborhood melting-pot was stirred vigorously once more when a Cuban-Jewish family moved next door. Cuba was in the grip of the Batista dictatorship when the Gold family left for America. There were five of them — the grandparents, their daughter and son-in-law, who was a kosher butcher, and an infant son, Sidney. Their English was touched by a musical mix of Yiddish and Spanish. We became great friends. My mother grew very close with Paul’s wife, Hilda, a woman of bubbly emotions. She was like a daughter to mom. They traded recipes and shared life experiences, especially the difficulty of raising children. We watched Sidney grow up into a fine young man. My father was a retired policeman who worked as a runner in a law office in his later years. He helped Sidney get an internship at the law office. Today, he is an accomplished attorney. They should put that story in the Jewish Museum. Not everyone accepted the mingling of cultures so graciously. I remember getting punched in the stomach by some young toughs who ran away shouting, “Christ killer.” That memory still lingers with me as an example of living, even if only for a brief moment, in the other guy’s shoes. As we passed an exhibit that depicted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg being sentenced to death for passing secrets about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union, I recalled the hysteria surrounding that event, the angry charges being hurled at Jews that they were all communists. South Philadelphia High School was an extension of the melting pot experience for me, as was Temple University. It was as if life were being planned for me as a learning experience for getting along with people who were different than me and yet were the same. Awaking from my self-absorption I realized, as we neared the end of our visit, that it wasn’t just my experience or my wife’s experience or even maybe your experience, dear reader. It was just another piece of that colorful, vibrant, and yes, at times intolerant piece of tapestry that we know as the American experience. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.
Movies OSCAR PREDICTIONS:
Best Picture
Which film will take the top prize on Oscar night? Which film should? Here’s a breakdown of all nine nominees vying for the trophy. R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
I
n its unending efforts to remedy Oscar stuffiness and better the telecast’s ratings, the Academy pulled a lot of tricks from its sleeve this year, changing the 10-wide field of the last two years to an uncertain total, and even announcing the eventual picks out of alphabetical order. Since pundits have never had a harder time predicting nominee outcomes, the tricks paid off, but that doesn’t mean the change produced a perfect slate. In the end, nine films proved strong enough to net Best Picture nominations, when in fact, only seven of the available crop deserved to remain in the running. Let’s take a look at each of the contenders for 2012, and end each glimpse with where they rank in both worthiness and probability.
A
rguably the worst Best Picture nominee of the last decade, Stephen Daldry’s sugary adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s twee best seller isn’t so much offensive for its post-9/11 melodrama, but for its shameless manipulation of the viewer, which admittedly uses the crumbling of the towers as its tear-wringing launchpad. Who knows how such a sizable number of Oscar nominators were able to stomach the young lead’s arsenal of grating quirks. Probability: 9; Worthiness: 9
D
epending on who you ask, “The Tree of Life” was either one of ’11’s finest achievements or one of its most vexing head-scratchers. It may very
T
here’s no way Steven Spielberg’s sweeping heartwarmer wasn’t going to make its way into the final stretch, especially considering his throwback style falls right in line with this year’s favored theme of nostalgia. Widescreen spectacles didn’t get much better this year, but it takes a certain kind of person to fully enjoy this dusty movie — namely one who’s fine with ignoring 60 years of film-narrative evolution. Probability: 7; Worthiness: 8
The Descendants
A
lexander Payne’s Hawaii-set family drama is easily one of ’11’s most well-scripted films, its many strong pieces locking together with wit, heart and surprising nonchalance. And though George Clooney continues to be an overrated leading man, he and the rest of the cast offer ultra-solid performances that convey the material with superior humanity. There should be so many more American films like this one, which contain ample levity but aren’t afraid to challenge and unnerve. Again: A winner in another year, a Screenplay victor in this one. Probability: 4; Worthiness: 3
Moneyball
S
ports movies don’t get much better than “Moneyball,” a drama with all sorts of ace assets to boast, including crackerjack writers like Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian, and the best performance of Brad Pitt’s career. It’s certainly conceivable that voters would want to give the edge to a film that’s all about exalting players with untapped value, but it may wind up being enough that such a well-made mainstream flick snuck into contention in the first place. Probability: 6; Worthiness: 4
Hugo
T
he second film to most directly nod to Hollywood’s formative years, Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo” covers so many bases, categorization is pretty much impossible. It’s essentially a kids’ movie, but it’s made for cinema-loving adults. It’s a film about a boy, but it’s also a famous director’s biopic. It’s a classy art house drama, but also a dazzling 3-D epic. This wide-reaching
The Help
T
hough hardly the pot-stirrer so many would have you believe, “The Help” is nevertheless a movie that deserves the ardent attention it’s received, if only because it’s so terribly easy to like. It’s most definitely backwards that two black actresses are poised to win Oscars for playing maids in the year ’12, but that takes nothing away from the fact that the film itself gives voice to AfricanAmerican servants in ways few films have before. There’s real humor and heart in this wildly successful picture, but let us hope that, moving on, movies with more diverse black stories can score the same attention from the Academy. Probability: 2; Worthiness: 7
The Artist
T
he unwavering frontrunner for many months, this impossibly charming, silent, black-and-white French crowdpleaser could only lose if the Academy put an 11th-hour ban on wordless wonders. The narrative surrounding “The Artist’s” rise to the top is in itself irresistible: Are we really about to see a silent movie win the Best Picture award? Did this movie actually get made — and embraced — in an era defined by flash and effects? Could its theme of technology’s fast propulsion be any more relevant in these days of industry shift? Add to all of that an endearing love story, a disarming male lead, an adorable dog, and producer Harvey Weinstein, and you’ve got yourself a winner. Probability: 1; Worthiness: 1 SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

The Tree of Life
War Horse
T
he greatest success of Woody Allen’s career, “Midnight in Paris,” had no trouble clinching a Best Picture slot, pleasing critics, ticket-buyers and voters alike with its romantic buffet of 20th century cultural icons. This dramedic jaunt through the City of Light may have even nabbed the top prize in a year with weaker competition, but this year, it may just have to settle for Best Original Screenplay. Probability: 5; Worthiness: 6
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I february 23, 2012
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
well be both, but trust the viewer who preaches the former, as it’s hard to go through any film year and come across a triumph as mammoth as Terrence Malick’s. A beauty of a movie whose subject is the whole of existence, it demands repeat viewings, and it will surely get them, as it’s bound to be studied for years to come. Probability: 8; Worthiness: 2
Midnight in Paris
appeal bodes very well for the movie, and it’s the reason it leads the pack with a total of 11 nominations. But behindthe-scenes artistry is likely where the rewards will stay, as the Academy prepares to spread the wealth as wide as this movie’s audience. Probability: 3; Worthiness: 5

he 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. We want to hear from business owners who have been around for 20 years or more or a special couple that continues to enjoy 50-plus years of marital bliss. Tell us more than how many years you’ve been around. How did your story begin? What are the biggest changes you’ve seen? Is there someone who puts their heart and soul into the operation? Please tell us your story in about 200 words and include contact info. Send your story pitch our way via e-mail, fax or regular mail. Photos are not required. The entry deadline is noon April 20. SPR

eap Day only comes around once every four years. Why not celebrate? Carol McGinness’ Hot Pepperoni Dip is a tasty way to spice up any Leap Year event you may be attending. If you already have an idea in mind, there’s nothing wrong with bringing two dishes. After all, the next Feb. 29 isn’t coming until 2016. The resident of the 2000 block of South Hancock Street recommends serving her party dish with Italian bread. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/recipes.
Carol’s Hot Pepperoni Dip INGREDIENTS:
1 can of cream of mushroom soup 1 stick of pepperoni, grated 1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium, oven-safe baking dish, mix the pepperoni into the soup. Add the cream cheese and beat. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until it starts to bubble and lightlyy brown.

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

La Calaca Feliz By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
I
rarely fall for TV commercials, but when ads for Old El Paso tacos kept interrupting my viewing, all I could think of was Mexican food. I have not reviewed a Mexican restaurant since last fall when Sandy, Edward and I discovered Isabel, a marvelous BYOB. I did some culinary sleuthing on the Internet and came up with La Calaca Feliz. The restaurant, which translates as “the happy skeleton,” opened last month in Fairmount on the site of the former Illuminaire, which served some of the best pizza in the city. La Calaca Feliz consists of a bar and dining room in the back of the restaurant. It was quite dark. Thank goodness I remembered my flashlight. There’s a colorful painted mural on one wall, booths are covered in red leather and the sound system wasn’t too loud. “Have you been here before? Let me tell you about the menu. Can I explain the drinks menu?” our server said. I thought — I’ve been coming to restaurants when I was still in the womb and I learned to read quite early in life. Edward joked he learned to read at age 6. When guest arrive after a long, hard day at work, the last thing they wish to endure is a long song and dance. We ordered a Rob Roy ($11.50) and a martini ($9.50) made with house gin. Sandy, Edward and I talked about the menu and decided on three appetizers, as well as a taco, an enchilada and a duck entrée.

fers complimentary chips and salsa. When none appeared, I asked our server “do you offer complimentary chips and salsa?” She asked if we would like to place an order. Here comes the stream again. She’s answering a question with a question and she’s not even Jewish. After she told us the charge is $1.75 for as much as you want, we told her to go ahead. At this point a gentleman began to make his way through the room chatting with customers. The room was filled. “The basket of chips is on me,” he said. They were warm from the oven but the salsa had an unpleasant smoky flavor, which made me think of bottled barbecue sauce. We began dinner with meatballs ($10.95), octopus ($12.95) and a Mexican version of mushroom pizza ($10.95) Three wooden skewers held a nice-sized spiced meatball that we all enjoyed. Unfortunately for us, the octopus was more than disappointing. It lacked flavor and was a bit chewy. The pizza, on the other hand, was the best dish of the night. The crust was a cross between a crisp sheet of matzo and pita bread. It was sliced into four wedges and included heady mushrooms, a bit of crema and the right touch of truffle oil. Enchiladas are so good when properly done. La Calaca Feliz offers several sauces. The aforementioned one, which came with the chips, a mole and a salsa verde. I have never tasted a good mole in Philadelphia. The only mole I ever have loved was prepared by Chicago chef Rick Bayless. The sample was dreadful and grainy. The

salsa verde was a bit better but contained way too much acidic lime juice. Still, I thought, if properly sauced, the enchiladas would be fine. Enchiladas stuffed with shrimp and crab ($14.95) were more than disappointing. They were lukewarm inside, topped with way too much sauce, which was piping hot. It killed the delicacy of the seafood. Sandy’s mushroom tacos ($10.95) were OK. She received three small, open-faced tacos, topped with mushrooms and asparagus that were laced with so much lime juice, it ruined the flavor. Duck confit ($17.95) was another disappointment. It was cloyingly sweet and barely resembled its always first-rate French cousin. It also contained much too

he Academy Awards will be handed out Sunday night, and, as in years past, my eyes will be glued to the television set. When I was a little girl, I begged my parents to allow me to stay up late so I could swoon over all of the pretty dresses. This year’s nominees are a diverse group. “Midnight in Paris” and “Hugo” are set in The City of Light. “The Help” follows the lives of women who made a difference before the Civil Rights Act became law in Jackson, Miss. The brilliant Meryl Streep portrayed the rise and fall of Margaret Thatcher, England’s first female prime minister, in “The Iron Lady.” Hollywood’s silent film era and the advent of talkies form the backdrop for “The Artist,” a charming black-and-white gem with a cast of unknowns save for John Goodman. Uggie, the adorable Jack Russell terrier, stole the show. The world can learn much about American popular culture just by watching movies. The women of the 1930s and ’40s such as Myrna Loy, Irene Dunne, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and Katharine Hepburn portrayed strong, independent ladies, and their clothes were often drop-dead gorgeous. As for the men, no one has topped Cary Grant. OK, George Clooney comes close. No man has matched his look, his accent,

his swagger, the way he wore his clothes and his natural ability for physical comedy. Grant never won an Oscar although he received an honorary one in ’70. I always set up a buffet with dishes to enjoy as we watch the Academy Awards. I keep it simple and since the plates are on our laps, I steer clear of anything drippy or messy that requires numerous paper napkins. I look forward to the return of Billy Crystal as the host for the Oscars. I hope he and Uggie have put together an opening bit with lots of schtick.
■ Pimiento Cheese ■ (Inspired by “The Help”) Ingredients: 1 pound of sharp yellow cheddar 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened 8 ounces of roasted red peppers or pimientos, from the jar, well drained and chopped 1/2 cup of mayonnaise Dash of Tabasco Dash of Lea & Perrins Pinch of cayenne or white pepper
Directions: Grate the cheddar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the grating disk or grate by hand using the fine side of a box grater. Place the cheddar in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Blend well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until
ready to serve. Makes two cups. Note from Phyllis: Pimiento cheese is the spread of choice throughout the South. There are dozens and dozens of recipes for this savory staple. Serve with saltines, Ritz crackers and celery sticks.
■ Lemon-Saffron ■ Rosemary Wings (Inspired by “Midnight in Paris” and “Hugo”) from "The Bonne Femme Cookbook" by Winifred Moranville Ingredients: 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, freshly grated 2 large pinches of saffron threads or 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1-1/2 teaspoons of coarse sea salt 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper 2 pounds of chicken wing drumettes 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup of honey
Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the first five ingredients in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Brush the wings with the oil then rub each one with a little of the lemon-saffron mixture. Place the wings on the rack of a broiler pan. Bake the wings for 20 minutes. Turn them, drizzle with the honey and bake un-
til golden and cooked through, for about five minutes more. Makes about 24 wings. Note from Phyllis: Drumettes are the meaty part of the wing, without the tips. If you purchased chicken wings, just cut off the tips and freeze them for stocks or soups. Moranville writes she has never seen Buffalo wings in France, but these wings have been served at French cocktail parties and can be found in French delis.
■ The Mary Pickford ■ (Inspired by “The Artist” from "The Craft of the Cocktail" by Dale DeGroff) Ingredients: 2 ounces of white rum 1-1/2 ounces of pineapple juice 1 teaspoon of grenadine 1/4 ounce of maraschino liqueur
Directions: Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass. Makes one cocktail. Note from Phyllis: This cocktail was created at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba in Havana during Prohibition for Mary Pickford, who began her long career in silent films.

THE BOYS’ TEAM at Prep Charter moved from Division C to Division A this year and could not muster enough might against top competition. The squad won four of 11 divisional games but earned a spot in the preliminary playoffs. Sophomore forward and leading scorer Raheem Liggins tallied five points, 12 rebounds and five blocked shots in Feb. 7’s 45-36 home denial of Hope Charter. The Huskies fell in their Class AA playoff opener two days later against host Delaware Valley Charter. Senior guard Laquan Stephens scored 18 points in the 61-58 setback, which left his team 6-16. Division A’s Southern captured only two wins from 11 league games yet likewise picked up a preliminary playoff win Feb. 7. The Rams relied on senior guard and leading scorer Malakiah Hunter, who finished with 28 points, to secure a 5441 home win over Northeast. He scored 14 two days later in a Class AAAA firstround road meeting against Fels, which
won 43-42 to drop the Lower Moyamensing school to a 4-15 record. The Edward Bok High School, 1910 S. Ninth St., Wildcats beat back 11 of 12 Division D rivals to collect a 15-4 regularseason mark and the division title. Even with home support, the East Passyunk Crossing crew could not fend off Dobbins in Feb. 7’s preliminary playoff. Senior guard and leading scorer Sean McLean stroked 14 points in the 67-53 loss. The teams from The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St.; Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St.; The Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St.; and Universal Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., failed to make the playoffs but were not without a couple combined highlights. Averaging 22.8 points per game, Palumbo senior guard Demetrius Davenport ranked sixth in the city, and GAMP junior guard Tobias Stokes stroked eight three-pointers in Jan. 28’s 77-46 victory over host Friends Select.

o help to bring a fourth straight Catholic League boys’ basketball championship to Ss. NeumannGoretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., senior guard Billy Shank knew he had to become a lethal leader and an even surer shooter. The Fishtown resident showed his progression Friday, helping the Saints to a 77-51 home quarterfinal victory over Springfield’s Cardinal O’Hara by hitting five three-pointers on his way to 22 points. The East Passyunk Crossing ballers’ record-expanding 68th consecutive conquest of parochial opposition sent coach Carl Arrigale’s squad to last night’s Palestra semifinal against Center City’s Roman Catholic, which began after press time. “We have so much young talent, but [senior forward] Derrick [Stewart] and I consider this our team,” Shank said. The unit’s combined skills had resulted in a 21-3 mark before the meeting with Roman. “Carl told me I would need to do more, like setting up more plays,” the secondyear starter said of the resident of the 2900 block of South 15th Street, who in December claimed his 300th career win. Improved defense helped Shank to amass more steal and start fast breaks. His comfort level when handling the ball should assist his transition to the college ranks, where he intends to play point guard. “I knew I had to evolve into something other than a shooter,” he said. Shank loved his customary role Friday, though, as he scored 13 first-quarter points. Stewart, a Rider University signee, deposited seven points and skied for 11 rebounds. Sophomore guard Ja’Quan Newton and junior forward John Davis each scored 15 in the rout. The competitors had figured to have a more difficult time last night against Roman, which gave the Saints their closest league battle Jan. 22. The locals left Phila-
delphia University with a 63-57 triumph, and Shank promised the rematch would likely be similarly tight. “Playoff games come down to handling pressure,” he said. “We are hoping our experience gives us an edge.” He and his mates have needed to be cheerleaders for the girls’ outfit, as coach Stephen Skedzielewski’s troops compiled a 17-5 regular season record to snare the league’s third seed. Georgetown University-bound senior center Omowumi “Ki-ke” Rafiu and senior guard Maureen Fiocca paced the ladies against often daunting challengers to score 10 wins from 12 divisional contests. The success bred Feb. 16’s home quarterfinal tilt against Lansdale Catholic. An impressive first half gave the athletes a 35-15 edge, and they would march to a 61-44 win to earn a trip to Philadelphia University to face Archbishop Caroll, last year’s Catholic League and State AAA Championship runner-up. The Tuesday game ended 55-41 in favor of the Radnor school. The girls’ team at Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., features Kahleah Copper, a senior forward who will soon aim to wow Rutgers University’s fans. The North Philadelphian will participate in the McDonald’s All-America Game March 28 in Chicago, but she wants to end winter by defending her West Passyunk school’s Public League title before beginning to enjoy the spring. Coach Paul Rieser’s group had registered a 22-3 record before last night’s Public League semifinal against Engineering & Science at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. Regularly destroying foes, the Huskies settled for a 62-52 Class AAA championship defeat of Freire Charter Feb. 16, in which Copper led the ladies with 14 points and 11 rebounds. She and her mates outplayed their adversaries in the second half at Benjamin Franklin High School to add another accolade to a season that saw them capture December’s KSA Tournament in Florida.
