A Newbold denizen is portraying an outspoken adolescent from a literary classic. ÂŽĂŠBy Joseph Myers

s the nurturer of a “not particularly subdued� personality, Claire Inie-Richards values occasions through which she can convey animated attractions to questioning the cosmos and enjoying her existence. Finding utter joy when channeling those penchants on stage, the 24-year-old is continuing her captivating connection with People’s Light by playing Marianne Dashwood, the equally opinionated teenager in Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility.� “She has thoughts on everything,� the Newbold inhabitant said of the youth, who, along with

her sister, Elinor, the personification of sense to the younger figure’s sensibility, must muster the maturity to deal with perplexing circumstances as they come to contemplate love and loss while craving residential security. “We’re very similar in that we possess this romanticism about life that manifests in sometimes unreasonable idealism.� Inie-Richards is tackling that duel between pragmatism and advanced optimism through Sunday. With one year as a company member of the Malvern-situated entity, she revels over being able to reach into her soul to bolster Joseph Hanreddy and J.R. Sullivan’s adaptation of the enduring and endearing text, opining that the opportunity meshes with her other endeavors on the Leonard C. Haas Stage to present material with “a huge amount of heart, hope, and redemption.� “It’s a company of loving people,� she said of the Chester County haunt with whom she has been affiliated for more than

You have passed through the intersection at 13th and Wharton streets hundreds of times over the years, on your way north into Center City, zipping east for a bottle at the Wine and Spirits, or errands on Columbus Boulevard. Occasionally you notice the unassuming exterior of a small restaurant on the northeast corner, an Italian byo called august.

Letters: To our Readers: Being a huge fan of British literature, I have always loved the sentiment “Hope springs eternal in the human breast� from Alexander Pope’s “An Essay on Man.� Does such a blessing spring with even more aplomb during the spring? I have always thought so and take great pride in being among fellow South Philadelphians as we prepare for what promises to be a satisfying season. Through my time as an intern, freelancer, and staff member, this issue marks my eighth Spring Guide/Readers’ Choice endeavor, and, I must say, your votes in our balloting led me, staff writer Bill Chenevert and contributor Joseph Fontanazza to

Thinking Spring

Singing birds lift their wings, To trees, their nests they bring. Humans repent their sins And make a change within, A lovely Lenten thing To think about in Spring. Debra Panto South Philadelphia

Too sweet to stomach?

To the Editor: Salty potato chips, hot dogs at the ballpark, cheese steaks, Tastykakes, crabfries at Chickie’s & Pete’s. If the three-cents-per-ounce soda tax gets approved, it would be just a matter of time before other ‘unhealthy’ beverages or food items get the sin-tax slapped on them. Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion Under Mayor Jim Kenney’s plan, a twoB y Ti n a G a r c e a u liter of soda at the current price-point of $1.50 would amount to an extra penalty tax of $2.04, which is obviously more than the cost of the actual bottle. High-fructose corn syrup can be found in numerous foods and beverages on grocery store shelves in the United States and is widely used as a sweetener in soft drinks, juices, and processed foods. The actual biggest killer is developing heart disease based on a high-sodium diet. About 610,000 Americans die from it each year-- that’s one in every four deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 40 cities across the United States have rejected the extra taxation on sugary drinks, and such implementation would turn out to be one more burden for overtaxed citizens of Philadelphia. Fun fact: Five years ago, as a council 57D3 B63; A63:B3@( A^`W\U QO\ ^`]dS ^ZSOaO\b ]\S [W\cbS O\R b`]cPZS member, Kenney rejected the soda-tax that a][S bVS \Sfb a] b] ]TTS` ^`]bSQbW]\ T`][ bVS c\^`SRWQbOPWZWbg Pca aVSZbS`a then-mayor Michael Nutter proposed.

What is your favorite spring memory? Interviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau

“I loved going to the Ringling Bros. (and Barnum & Bailey) Circus. There was always something special about walking along South Street in the daytime, too.� Elaine Watson, 600 block of Johnston Street

Majestic Mario To the Editor Thank you for including Mario Lanza’s name under your “Incessant influence� column from March 3. Mr. Lanza has been my favorite tenor since I was a teenager, and, to this day, I still play his records and watch his films on DVD. My older brother was a friend of his in their teen years, so he was always a part of our lives. My sister Kay, now deceased along with my brother Freddie, tried so hard to get a stamp of his image published, collecting signatures and writing to the postmaster, but, to date, it has not happened. The one thing my sister wanted before she died was to have that stamp published, but it wasn’t to be. Mr. Lanza has been an inspiration to tenors all over the world and vocal students just starting their careers. “Be My Love� is his signature song, and even though critics panned his acting, in “The Great Caruso� and “The Toast of New Orleans,� I think, he was very fine. He was real, from the heart. I remember many years ago when he came to Philly, after he made his first movie, “That Midnight Kiss,� with the lovely Kathryn Grayson. South Philly went wild! He then gave a concert at The Academy of Music. He never sang at “The Met,� but he left us his records and films. I’m so glad we have his mural at Broad and Reed streets and the Mario Lanza Museum. He was a great singer, and thank you again for naming him on your list. Just as an aside, speaking of murals, “The Teen Idols� mural at Ninth and Wharton streets is falling apart. I hope something will be done to repair it. Also, thank you for your hands-on editing. Joseph Contro South Philadelphia

I was in severe heart failure and needed a transplant. People told me it meant I’d never live a full life. I wasn’t about to settle for that. So I found a place that won’t settle either: Penn Medicine. They’re not just healing heart disease, they’re working to end it. One week after the heart transplant, I started training. One year later, I became a triathlete. Now, I live every day like my donor is watching.

Never settle. Learn more at PennHeart.org or call 800.789.PENN (7366) today.

ribs, and chicken. And they’re about to get busier. With seating inside for approximately 55 (“It depends on how many people we can squish into our booths,� Smith joked) in flexible booths and communal tables, they’ll expand by up to 35 with outdoor seating. The GM says they’ve been active on the Avenue, participating in a big Beer Week kickoff in June, and an even sooner event, Visit East Passyunk’s Flavors of the Avenue April 24. Of course, Bing Bing was kind of destined for greatness based on the reputation and success behind Center City’s Cheu Noodle Bar, owned by lifelong friends Shawn Darragh and Ben Puchowitz. They opened another baby, Bing Bing, 13 months ago, and it’s been a smash. “We are busier than we’ve ever been,� the Newbold-based GM said. “We’ve got a lot going on.� Palladino’s on Passyunk earned a re-

A

outh Philly is teeming with passionate people who love to pronounce their views on a plethora of topics, often doing so over a fine meal. Since its 2003 opening, Scannicchio’s, 2500 S. Broad St., has hosted many of those insightful individuals, who have likely found their debates eventually including mentions of the area’s most delicious plates. Enough of those discerning diners completed ballots this year, resulting in Scannicchio’s wins for best overall restaurant, pasta, and restaurant owner/chef. “It’s a good feeling to know we’ve claimed such respect,� victorious co-proprietor and

erhaps it’s another list that best new restaurant winner Bing Bing Dim Sum, 1648 E. Passyunk Ave., appeared on that has swayed a ton of South Philly restaurant-goers - Philadelphia Magazine’s best restaurant list, where it ranked eighth and showcased its dishes on the magazine’s cover. “It’s been great - we have really popped off,� Rachael Smith, a resident of the 1300 block of Mifflin Street and the general manager at the hot new Dim Sum spot said. “We’ve been pretty much packed� since they opened, she added. Dim Sum is small plates, “meant to be shared - lots of different flavors and a couple bits of each thing,� Smith explained. Soup dumplings, four beautiful bulbous dough concoctions that are best-sellers, are a staple - fat dumplings where you bite off the top, sip the dumplings’ Miso ramen brothy insides, drop a little sweet soy inside, and devour it. But their bar is accessible, never fussy, and “modern - we’re not doing lychee martinis or anything.� Their Happy Hour attracts droves 5 to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 3 to 5 p.m. on the weekends. Beef, shrimp and veggie dumplings are on the menu, too, but they’re more than a dumpling joint. They’ve got latewinter veggies, too: a cool papaya and mango salad, spicy cucumbers, and brussel sprouts are here. Just as desirable are their noodle bowls, fried rice, lamb, short

chef Christian Varalli said. “We shoot for 100 percent satisfaction, and we’re almost there because of consistency, freshness, and teamwork.� The 47-year-old Passyunk Square native and dweller helms the Lower Moyamensing space with Michael Gibson and uses formal educational input from Peirce College and the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College plus informal tutelage from his grandparents to ensure patrons of the 64-seat destination leave eager to book their next reservation. Thrilled to have a business not far from his residence, Varalli also loves being able to sate people with the same dishes that delighted his stomach during childhood. “That helps me to feel a deeper connection to the culture of this part of the city, particularly with the old school crew,� he said. “When I learned of availability on Broad Street, it just spoke to me as a place where I could appreciate my roots through this food.� He, Gibson, and sous chef Oscar Perez offer more than two dozen menu options, with pasta provisions such as Penne a la Vodka, Seafood Lasagna, and Lobster Ravioli validating Scannicchio’s overwhelming victory in the second of its three triumphant categories. Seasonal pasta selections abound, too, but no matter what the calendar says, Varalli believes he, the space, and the pasta draw respect because they are constantly consistent. In an era where places often fall prey to their imagination, his entity thrives because it respects guests’ respect for trusted treats. “I feel surprised to win three awards, especially best overall restaurant,� he said. “There are so many good places here that

Pesto also claimed second in pasta, with P&S scratching its way to a third-place accolade.

slammed. We had about a 45-minute to an hour wait all night long, for about seven hours,� Kiley reported. They have a six-month permit for a huge tent that’s more than meets the eye (you can expect its return in about a month’s time). “Once we get the tent, we’re going to roll up the walls so it’ll be totally open on the sides. Even if it’s raining, people can be in this really nice outdoor space with globe and Christmas lights up,� Kiley explained. With the patio, the restaurant nearly doubles in size, but they don’t let it affect the experience customers can expect. “With volume, there’s a certain expectation of lesser service, but our goal is to be able to provide that casual, fun atmosphere and not be sloppy. We do withhold a standard of service above just a bar,� Kiley noted. The restaurant and bar is certainly a mainstay for locals, but “with the patio, it really becomes a destination bar, too, because there’s not that many places in the city that have the same size of a patio that we do,� she added. Adobe Cafe came in second place for Mexican restaurant. The humble, delicious BYO Los Gallos took third. In outdoor dining/pop-up location, the two South Phillybased Pennsylvania Horticultural Society pop-ups nabbed second place, with Devil’s Den placing third. --- B.C.

any corner in the city and find a good slice, but the favorite for locals south of City Hall has been City Pizza with its two locations at 2700 S. 16th St. and 100 Snyder Ave. Assistant manager Dio Petril, son of City Pizza’s Marconi location owner Bob Petril, has a peculiar breakfast selection to make sure day-to-day quality stays at peak satisfaction as he went on to say, “There is nothing better than a plain cheese pie ... I have a slice everyday just to see how it is that day. Does it taste right? What are the customers getting? You’re not doing it just because you’re hungry. You want to make sure that it tastes the same. Because the biggest part of this business is consistency.� Though the City Pizza franchise sets out to master the simple things like a cheese pizza, the involved parties pride themselves on a collaborative effort that supports creative thinking. That creativity has overflowed onto their menu with different creations like the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Pizza, the Breakfast Pizza, which comes with a dribble of maple syrup, and a Smothered Fries Pizza surely worth the clogged arteries. When explaining the thought process that goes into their specialty pizzas, Dio Petril said “Anything you can think of, you can make a pizza out of.� With City Pizza’s varied approach on their namesake, it’s ironic their most popular pizza happened to be something as humble as their City Old Style Pizza, which calls back to pizza’s Mediterranean roots. Runners up include Birra taking the second spot with Pizza Shack finishing in third. --- J.F.

ichele Ganas and Gene Montebello boil their thriving beer shop down to a simple motto: “We started this shop ourselves, two women who

love beer who decided to pursue our passions and offer more craft beer options to the neighborhood,� the former reported. And they’re local, too. Ganas grew up in South Philly and Montebello not-toorecently moved to South Philly from the Northeast. And they met at Temple Business School in 2001. They opened The Bottle Shop in ’10 just down the street, renting at 1837 E. Passyunk Ave. Now, at 1616 E. Passyunk Ave., they own and they were able to configure it just the way they like. “We set up the space exactly how we wanted it, with more beer coolers, more beer on tap (before we had four draughts, now we have six),� Ganas explained. “We have a small bar area with more seating all around. We can seat up to 50 people with the bench that my father installed.� They’re pretty tight with the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District and welcome food from along the Avenue in their shop, but they do provide snack foods and pretzels for in-shop sipping. How do they curate all those beers? “We choose the beer selection ourselves with the help from our beer representatives, and we also have a Beer Suggestion Box for customers,� Ganas said. “Our customers can mix-a-six or choose from a variety of pre-packaged six- and 12-packs. We have over 600 beers from around the world.� Worth noting, there’s a whole cooler dedicated to ciders and gluten-free beers. Suffice it to say, they’re more into beer than their old day jobs: Ganas was working at a culinary school’s admissions department and Montebello was managing a restaurant. Now they run one of East Passyunk Crossing’s liveliest suds shops. The Beer Peddlers earned a respectable silver medal, while Tap Room on 19th bottled third. --- B.C.

his year’s poll was flooded with votes for Cantina Los Caballitos, 1651 E. Passyunk Ave., commonly referred to in South Philly simply as Cantina. “It’s comfort food. Who doesn’t love tacos and burritos?� reasoned assistant general manager Cristie Kiley of the popularity the eatery/bar experiences. “But we’re more than just tacos and burritos.� She ticked off some of the more complex dishes customers devour: Vietnamese chorizo tacos; ceviches; traditional moles; Mexican-style meatballs called Albondigas; and steamed buns with carnitas, pico de gallo and guacamole. “When we first opened, we had more of an emphasis on the bar, so free chips and salsa went with drinking margaritas. But the food took over a little bit, and now people think of us more as a restaurant than a bar,� Kiley said. It’s an incredibly busy and high-volume spot, feeding up to 500 people without the outdoor patio and up to 1,000 diners with their outdoor dining section. In fact, Cantina Los Caballitos won best Mexican restaurant and best outdoor dining or pop-up location. Just last Thursday, with a spike in temperatures, they got bombarded for patio seating. “Everyone ran to our patio, we got

outh Philadelphia pizza may be underrated across the country but if there is anything that South Philly is the mecca of, it’s undoubtedly the cheesesteak. In this titanic battle that pitted neighborhood favorites against heavyweights of the Philly trademark, two high-quality eateries tied for the Readers’ Choice award. Both Pat’s King of Steaks, 1301 E. Passyunk Ave and John’s Roast Pork, 14 E Snyder Ave. split the crown for best cheesesteak with differing journeys to the top of their craft. Pat’s Steaks namesake sandwich can be traced back to Pre-World War II and has been a stable of the City from its inception. The Passyunk Square-based shop

burgers of falafel and turkey; rice bowls with black beans, ginger chicken, sweet potatoes and Thai, Teriyaki and Gyro Chicken (or tofu); salads that are chopped, Caesar, Greek, kale and seafood-friendly; plus a long list of wraps and paninis (gluten-free, too, if one wants), they’ve got you covered. All with an easy veggie substitute but proteins are offered if you eat ’em. With Ardmore and Center City locations, they’ve picked up some good name recognition on Philly vegetarians’ radars. They even topped a recent USA Today list trumpeting “Figure-Friendly, Veggie-Friendly and Allergy-Friendly Fare.� They’ve got brunch (11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sat.-Sun.), too, with frittatas, pancakes and waffles, breakfast sandwiches, scrambles and sides. Naturally, they’re also prepared to offer you smoothies and juices, plus organic coffee and espresso. A little farther up on East Passyunk Avenue, Plenty Cafe snagged plenty of votes, too, to finish second. Best Mexican restaurant and outdoor dining winner Cantina Los Caballitos placed third. --- B.C.

John’s Roast Pork

has reached a level of fame that if a Philly resident ventures past city limits, he or she will certainly be asked about Pat’s famous creation. Though the 86-year-old has its fair share of outside visitors, general manager and 40-year employee Tom Francano appreciates his local patrons above all as he went on to say “We get a lot of tourists here, but it’s always great to have all the Philadelphia people here.� While established the same year as Pat’s Steaks, John’s Roast Pork is a relatively new player in the cheesesteak game compared to its counterpart. When John Bucci Jr. decided to join his mother in a co-owner role after his father’s unfortunate passing, he brought with him a complete overhaul on how cheesesteaks were made, as the 2300 block of South Rosewood Street na-

We don’t have a batch of meat cooked and a batch of onions.â€? Although John’s prides itself on quality ingredients, the co-owner’s attitude towards life that involves the appreciation of every borrowed hour is what makes his business special. Bucci is a leukemia survivor and has a close relationship with the “Be the Matchâ€? foundation, which is how he received a bone marrow transplant. He has pledged a free cheesesteak to anyone who signs up to walk at the organization’s April 2 5K at the Navy Yard. Runners-up for best cheesesteak include Jim’s Steaks in second place, with Geno’s and Tony Luke tying for the third slot. --- J.F.

hat are must-haves for an authentic Italian pantry? Emilio Mignucci, third-generation owner of DiBruno Bros., was hopping over to the iconic Italian Market location at 930 S. Ninth St. for lunch breaks from St. Paul’s around the corner. He knows a thing or two about Italian cuisine and specialty store staples. “Your pantry should always be stocked with a really great olive oil, fresh herbs like basil, great cheeses to compliment, charcuterie, rustic bread and olives,� the Restaurant School graduate said. “Antipasta, really great roasted or grilled or marinated vegetables, pasta simply done with some fresh tomatoes, maybe some olive oil, capers or anchovies, that right there is really the core of Italian food.� Italian specialty shops, delis, and markets are sprinkled throughout South Philly, but DiBruno’s is king. Since before WWII, his grandparents have stocked their shelves with the desires and needs of thousands of South Philly families – and those needs have changed over the years. “My grandparents built it upon the staples: provolone, salami, cheese spreads they created in the ’60s, unique products that Italian immigrants, first and second generation, wanted like cracked wheat for wheat pies or beans they’d soak for soups and stews,� Mignucci explained. But when founders Danny and Joe took a trip to Italy in the ’60s, they came back cheese enthusiasts (in part because of cheeses they’d tried from across Europe,

bestseller, the Italian Rum Cake, holds a special place on the Southside with a recipe that has been perfected over several generations that also differs from the norm. “We make our Italian Rum Cake with vanilla and ricotta; everybody else makes it with vanilla and chocolate. We make it that way because that’s the way my grandfather taught me,� the award-winning baker, whose roots trace him back to the upstairs apartment above his life’s work, said. The kind of quality Isgro’s continues to reach has led to a national following and even international renown, as the workers were contacted by the Vatican to make the Pope’s favorite desserts during the World Meeting of Families. Termini’s bakery cooked up second honors for best cake, and Potito’s took third place. --- J.F.

including swiss cheese). Cheeses became the focus, in part, because the DiBruno’s team members realized they had to become more specialized as grocery stores like A&P took off. “We need to specialize in order to be and stay relevant as a retailer,� he explained, was the mentality. “[Danny and Joe] realized and saw the landscape of what was coming. Danny told us from the beginning, these people come through our doors, they don’t have to come here, they choose us for a reason.� With a booming cheese business, they brought in jams, chutneys, honeys and high quality cheese-complementary products. And at the heart of DiBruno’s is an old-school service-oriented experience for customers – “customers would come in and talk to my aunts and uncles and ask for recipes or what to do with certain items,� he explained. Therefore, they use their Italian Market space as a training ground for their Center City and suburban locations, which build on what was established decades ago on Ninth Street. “The Italian Market is the beating heart, the heart and soul – if you only ever just went to that location, you know what DiBruno Bros. is about,� says Mignucci. “The culture just lives and breathes in the Italian Market store.� Lucio Mancuso & Son grabbed a solid showing of votes, likely for its impressive cheese collection.

The level of our quality is because we don’t change, and if the quality is not what it is supposed to be, I’ll throw it out,� Gus Isgro, owner of Isgro’s Bakery, 1009 Christian St., said while speaking on his establishment’s recent victory for South Philly’s best cakes, and that commitment to high quality products remains true whether selling confections to his local patrons or baking for the Holy Father himself. The Bella Vista-situated bakery’s commitment to its craft may forgo optimal profit, but continuing to be a perennial Readers’ Choice award winner and a longstanding institution throughout the Philadelphia area definitely soothes the sacrifice in bottom-line. “Theodore Roosevelt was president when we start doing business, (so) you got to be doing something right. We are not perfect but I strive to be perfect. That’s the way I am. Sometimes my help doesn’t agree with me; they say ‘your profits aren’t what they should be,’ but It’s not about profits. It’s about high quality,� the long-time owner said. Isgro’s fantastic cake assortment ranges from the colorful Rainbow Tort to the chocolatey decadence of the Brown Derby Cake, and while its diverse selection delights the collective taste buds of South Philadelphians, its signature dessert and

aving exclusively devoted two decades to fortifying his family’s reputation as considerate contemplators of quality, Joseph Termini appreciates an occasional compliment, but he prefers to satisfy taste buds far more than his ego. A nearly 95-year-old staple, Termini Bros., 1523 S. Eighth St. and 1538 Packer Ave., has enabled his clan to cause thousands of sugar rushes and enduring crushes, with voters acknowledging its cookies as South Philly’s finest. “We’re very grateful that people think of them so highly,� the 42-year-old thirdgeneration proprietor, who helms the Passyunk Square and Packer Park locations with brother Vince Jr., said of the victory. “The culture here encourages us to give one another our best so that we can offer our customers what they have come to know as a Termini’s product.� The Montgomery County resident and his sibling peddle 11 types of cookies and never tamper with their trusted preparation process, relying on their predecessors’ machines, dubbed “old friends� by Joseph, to make treats that “come from the heart.� “Recipes go only so far,� the businessman opined. “You have to put in that extra effort, and that’s what we owe to everyone who walks through our doors.� Those fortunate purchasers part with their cash for cookies made entirely from scratch and especially revere the Terminis’ efforts during the Christmas season. As the biggest beneficiary of the entity’s online identity, the cookies also receive national exposure, but that component of their handiwork will never inspire Joseph to fall prey to pride.

or a South Philly resident, a cannoli is much more than a crunchy shell with a creamy filling; it is a memory for both young and old. They are remembrances of times past like Christmas Eve at Nonna’s house when she would stand in an unending line to get sweets for the night, and they are reflections of succumbing to Thanksgiving food comas while trying to catch the late game. Potito’s Bakery, 1614 W. Ritner St., the Readers’ Choice Award winner for best cannoli, clearly understands the relationship that South Philly has with the Sicilian sweet treat, as it has been a perennial winner in this category.

Owners Matt Benigno and Cristina PotitoBenigno took over the Girard Estate-based bakery in 2010 under unfortunate circumstances. “My father-in-law passed away and my mother-in-law wanted to sell Potito’s. So Cristina and I stepped up and decided to buy it from her. It was very obviously special to my wife. She’s been in Potito’s since she was two and we wanted to keep the tradition,� Benigno said regarding his and his wife’s decision to purchase the family business. Since the sale, Potito’s has continued reaching the standard of excellence that Carmen Potito set beginning in 1985. The location has received recognition for cakes and other pastries over time, but the true favorite of the 31-year old establishment has been its assortment of cannoli. “It’s very humbling. It’s something that we hold very special from the Review because we know it’s coming from our customers,� the Widener University graduate said concerning his establishment’s second straight year with a Readers’ Choice victory. The collection of cannoli ranges from the original ricotta and chocolate chip convection to new takes on the classic like an Oreo filling with a chocolate covered shell or red velvet filling. No matter how many new takes a bakery tries to make on a classic, sometimes the first is still the best. “Our ricotta is still the bestseller by far,� Benigno said of South Philly’s undying loyalty to the original. Termini Bros. stayed consistent, finishing in second place for cannoli, while Isgro’s filled the third slot. --- J.F.

“Humility plays a vital role in the quality of our products,� he said, noting the mixing of reality television interest. “We’re not compromising who we are for the pursuit of the almighty dollar.

here’s not much that can be said in South Philly about Mayor Jim Kenney that hasn’t already been said. But the South Philly native has always acknowledged his background and affinity for neighborhoods South of South Street along his campaign trail and in assuming the highest office in the city. He provided a statement for our readers: “I am truly honored to be voted Best Civic Leader/Politician by the readers of the South Philly Review. This award is particularly special to me since it comes from the old neighborhood. I thank South Philly for helping me to mold me into the man I am today, and I look forward to continuing efforts to improve this city across all neighborhoods and making South Philadelphia proud!� We ran cover stories on his resignation from 23 years on City Council and then his announcement that he’d run for Mayor in January and February of last year. He elaborated on his acceptance in another statement: “The readers who gave me this honor deserve as much credit as I do since many of you helped shape me and my views. South Philadelphia instilled a sense of community in me that I will not only never forget but has become a corner-

stone on which I built my administrative initiatives. In order to give everyone in this city a fair chance to reach their full potential, we need to create this same mindset across all zip codes. I thank you all for teaching me that it is okay to ask for help and that life is so much more satisfying when you’re doing what you can to help others.� Passyunk Square Civic Association president and Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corporation member Pam Zenzola came in second place.

cott Greer’s resume is aweinspiring. For one, he came to Philly in 1992 for a prestigious Dorothy Haas Acting Apprenticeship at the Walnut Street Theatre via Atlanta, GA, originally, and Adelphi University training. I wouldn’t have come here if it wasn’t for the Walnut,� he told SPR, but it’s been much more than Walnut ever since. “Since 1994, I’ve done 30 shows at the Arden Theater,� the Barrymore Award-winner and resident of the 800 block of Federal Street said. “I love South Philly - I can’t imagine living anywhere else.� “I like variety. I’ve gotten many opportunities to grow in many different ways. The

math of comedy is endlessly fascinating to me,� he said. “What makes people laugh and how to unite a group mostly to laugh at the same time over something is a really thrilling thing to do.� He did that well in the recent 1812 Productions’ Jackie Gleason salute “To The Moon� (“That was easily one of my favorite roles,� he said). But it was with Theatre Exile’s “Rizzo� that he really grappled with another iconic South Philadelphian, late mayor Frank Rizzo. “It was a smash. They had very limited time to do it and there were only 120 seats,� the Readers’ Choice winner as top actor/ actress/comedian said, adding he thinks maybe folks wanted to see it but didn’t try to get tickets because “it was sold out and they didn’t even try - it’ll be good to do it on Broad Street in a larger venue.� He’s referring to a Philadelphia Theatre Company’s production in the fall, which will be a kind of PTC presents Theatre Exile’s “Rizzo� affair. Greer’s loved working on the Neil Simon “B� trilogy at the Walnut (“Broadway Bound,� “Brighton Beach Memoirs� and “Biloxi Blues�), as well as “La Bete� and “Death of a Salesman� at the Arden, but at the moment, he’s actually in Phoenix performing another dream role - Lenny in “Of Mice and Men.� “This is the second time I’ve gotten to do a dream role,� he says, having just performed the role in Milwaukee at the turn of 2016. Next he’ll perform a small role in the Arden presentation of “The Secret Garden� (May 12-June 19). Is there a dream role he hasn’t been able to perform yet? “I want to play Sweeney Todd,� he quickly blurted out, referring to Stephen Sond-

he 2005 Philadelphia Sports landscape had little resemblance to Philly’s glory days of the early 1980s, which saw the likes of Julius Erving and Mike Schmidt raise championship banners. The Flyers would not take the ice because of the NHL lockout, the 76ers were firmly entrenched in the mediocrity that would prompt fan-favorite Allen Iverson to request a trade in the coming years, and the Eagles were on the verge of one of the most disappointing performances in NFL history after a Super Bowl loss during the previous season. Housed in the new-at-the-time Citizens Bank Park, the Philadelphia Philles were sowing the seeds to bring a championship back to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. The Phillies built one of Major League Baseball’s most talented young middleinfields in Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins, but the Fightins lacked the clean-up hitter that all premier teams need as Jim Thome headed into the twilight of his career. Philadelphia found their “Big Piece� in Ryan Howard, a hulking first-baseman that dominated the minor leagues while waiting for his chance to terrorize MLB pitching. Howard would go on to win the National League Rookie of the Year in 2005 then follow up his freshman campaign with an historic ’06 season that netted him league Most Valuable Player honors. With Howard locked in to the fourth slot, the Phillies

became the league’s most feared offense and, in ’08, they would bring back a world championship to the Philly faithful, ending a 25-year drought for the city. The 140th pick in the ’01 MLB Draft became the fastest player in Major League history to reach both the 100- and 200-homerun marks in his relatively short but brilliant career. The “Big Piece� has lost some of his luster since the Philles’ glory days of the late 2000s, as he struggled mightily in the past couple years; nonetheless Ryan Howard was voted the Readers’ Choice favorite local athlete because memories of his right-field-upper-deck shots and opposite field home runs will be forever engrained in the South Philly consciousness. Flyers forward Claude Giroux scored second in the voting while Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin tackled the third slot. --J.F.

s the brains behind the South Philadelphia Tennis Association, Bryan Hughes touts “growth and development� as the biggest boons to playing tennis, which undoubtedly distances him from other instructors who declare a “massive forehand� and a “booming serve� as what practitioners should look to gain from their court endeavors. A South Philly native with dedication to bolstering individuals and families through the sport, the 47-year-old can claim “Game, set, match� as the winner of the high school/youth coach honor. “Tennis is about managing small challenges, giving a fair effort, and experi-

encing the accomplishments that come with doing so with a positive attitude,� the Passyunk Square dweller said of how the pastime has helped him to enable pupils to prosper. “If we could handle our lives in the same manner, we would experience more successes.� With Barry Playground as the hub of the five-year-old association’s programs, including next week’s spring break mini camp and tennis Olympics, Hughes considers each teaching occasion an opportunity to impress upon his charges the beauty of gradual growth. That concern for steady progress has helped his brainchild to reap renown from the United States Tennis Association, which honored the SPTA as the Community Tennis Association of the Year in 2014 and dubbed it a Premier Provider last year and again two weeks ago. “It’s the little things that always make me proud of what I do, like the smiles of a five-year-old who just learned how to hit the ball over the net, or the uncontrollable laughter after (a few children) accomplish a partner game,� Hughes beamed. “I’m always proud of our high school and college age players who work with our young ones and help them accomplish the same things I helped them with.� Having spent so many childhood hours at recreation centers that his mother needed to shout for him to eat and go to bed, the resident of the 1100 block of South Eighth Street loves that locals can enjoy the same sort of infatuation with physical activity through his instruction. “Hanging out at the playgrounds was some of the best times of my life, and now as a coach, I get to share those times with fellow South Philly families,� Hughes said. “We’re a unique group down here and I

hanks to visits there as a youth, Anthony Spadaccini has long revered Barry Playground, 1800 Johnston St. Going on five years as a professional presence at the site, the 46-year-old has ingratiated himself to the current crops of attendees in the same fashion as he familiarized himself with space users decades ago – with respect and regard for their recreational pursuits. That commitment catapulted him to the top of the rung as South Philly’s chief recreation center leader. “I think I’m really in tune with what people want out of their time here,� the resident of the 2400 block of South Rosewood Street said from the Marconi-based haven. “Because of my past connection, I just try to make them feel comfortable when they’re swimming, playing baseball, football, basketball, tennis, or volleyball, or just sitting to enjoy a nice day.� Dubbing any form of exercise exciting for him, the former personal trainer commenced his Parks & Recreation Department involvement in 2007, serving at Guerin Recreation Center. The Leader 2 figure has meshed desires for mental and physical maturation through his professional life and loves helping playground attendees to

approach the amenities as perpetual providers of fun. “I’m a father, too, and my boys jumped right in with sports here, too,� Spadaccini said. “Aside from my commitment to Barry as someone who’s very familiar with the place, I want to help other families to add some very positive moments to their memories.� With a reputation as a basketball overseer, the dedicated individual has proven a slam dunk to hoopsters looking for spirited contests, yet, regardless, of one’s preferred sport, Spadaccini, confiding that the erection of a new building to complement the existing administrative and indoor activities spot should reach completion by early June, reveres his placement and exercised his right to thank everyone. “There are some really good leaders down here,� he said, “so any honor is a huge source of pride.� Anthony Verratti, of the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, slid safely into second, while Shot Tower’s Mike Townsend lowered the boom in third. --- J.M.

Lazer sharp

ichie Lazer’s got a tough job. As Mayor Jim Kenney’s Deputy Mayor for Labor, a position that former mayor and governor Ed Rendell insisted on but past mayors haven’t, he is the “point person on all labor stuff. It’s a lot of juggling,� Lazer, a 2014 South Philly Review Difference Maker, said. Those inflated rats? The Readers’ Choice community activist winner knows all about them. But his political career wasn’t always so City Hall-oriented. In fact, it mostly began at Burke Playground, Second and Jackson streets, just below the Whitman Library branch. It was 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla who brought out Lazer’s civic instincts. When Squilla helped secure nearly a $1 million in Burke improvements and create the Burke Community Fund, Lazer stepped in when his early mentor went to work on City Council. “When he became councilman, I kind of took over running the group. And I ran for the board of Whitman Council and got elected by the neighbors and chaired the zoning committee – I’m still with Whitman and Burke as of today,� he said. Lazer’s engagement is a certain stripe of community activism, dedication to making one’s immediate neighborhood great, in-

r. Gerard Vernose is somewhat of a professional who goes against the grain in his field and he’ll tell you as much. He’d rather refer you to preventative efforts that keep you healthy and outside of his South Broad Street office, as opposed to sucking you dry and signing you prescriptions that you don’t need. “I’m protective of my people,� the top doctor/veterinarian said. “These are my

friends and friends of friends and neighbors. I won’t see the drug people.� He’d just as quickly tell you to go by a box of bulk Claritin or Zyrtec so you can avoid constant medical bills. But then there’s “the two sides of Jerry Vernose - the professional side and the social side. Because of this double-interaction I feel a real commitment. And my passion is at an all-time high now. All these years now, 39 years, and I love coming in.� The social side has a pronounced and celebrated manifestation - 20 years now of Vendemmia, a “fall festival for food and friends and wine� in Girard Park (“September 25th!� his cousin, Theresa, reminded him on her way out of the room). Vernose was born in the hospital across the street from his office, 1841 S. Broad St. (across from Kindred Hospital, 1930 S. Broad St.); raised on the 2500 block of South 19th Street; still lives in Packer Park; went to St. Monica School, then Bishop Neumann High School and Temple University, followed by the Drexel-affiliated Hahnemann University for medical school and Penn for his residency. He’s very Philly. His offices have always bounced around his current location - it formerly lived at Broad and Morris streets, then Broad and Moore streets, now 25 years at the corner of Broad and Mifflin. The ear, nose and throat specialist has expanded his expertise over the years, along with the profession, with a little facial plastic surgery and some neck and throat cancer-related surgeries. But again, he won’t make you do anything if you’re not asking for his help. “I try not to have anyone leave the office feeling like they’re complete. Not with a question mark above their head,� he said. Dr. Frank Mazzotta received a secondplace prescription, and Dr. Mark Testa had a pleasing bedside manner in third. --- B.C.

spiring folks to get involved, and passing it on to the next generation. “One thing I believe is you have to build a team,� he said and cited the staffs at Whitman and Burke. “I’m big on a team effort and everyone pitching in – you put that together and it makes everyone succeed.� Lazer was active in his Democratic ward, the 39th, and joined Kenney’s campaign team as his political director. “I worked with a lot of labor leaders, elected officials, and ward leaders to build a coalition of supporters for Jim, working those relationships and endorsements out,� he explained. But at his core, he believes principally in neighborhoods that are built up and maintained by active citizens. “I really believe in getting involved. It’s always easy to complain and shout negativity but unless you get involved,� you’re not trying to make it better, he reasons. He’s got a three-year-old with his wife, Lindsey, and another on the way, and he plans on instilling them with the same spirit – “I’m very big on civic involvement, and you have to instill it in kids.� Kenney, oddly enough, received enough votes to take second place, and Unity in the Community’s Anton Moore earned a healthy showing, too, receiving third place honors. --- B.C.

ith all of the commercial collapses that South Philly has experienced lately, one could easily go on a What Used To Be Tour to lament shuttered businesses. While many establishments have succumbed to a variety of factors, Nick Maiale Sr. and the personnel at Big Nick’s Cold Cuts and Italian Specialties, 1311 W. Moyamensing Ave., have won admiration as a neighborhood staple and can tout their talent as saters of calls for convenience as the powers behind the best corner store. “Being around here makes me feel fortunate,� the proprietor said from his Lower Moyamensing-situated haunt. “There are great people who come in, and they’re the ones who inspire us to do great each day.� The inhabitant of the 1200 block of Jackson Street noted that though cold cuts sales keep the location afloat, any visitor will find ample reasons to make extended stops, with his wife Arlene’s ricotta cookies among the chief tempters. “I love having variety here and strive to have something new each week,� Nick Maiale Sr., whose son helms the adjacent Lil’ Nick’s Deli, said, adding that in more than 41 years of operating the space, he has prided himself on presenting fresh items, especially the produce he wakes at 4 a.m. to fetch. “Whatever you want, chances are we have it in abundance.� If people are also seeking a gregarious and informative experience, Brian Maiale stands as their amateur psychologist, sports enthusiast, and overall curious upholder of beliefs on what a corner store should resemble. “We live around here, too,� the 1200-block-of-Ritner-Street dweller said, “so we want to relate to our customers on many levels, not just through business transactions. It’s just nice to talk to people.� When slicing offerings for patrons, the second-generation figure often engages in heartfelt talks about their shared interests and loves coming to know what people want through continued visits.

Booking passage

ost folks learn early in life that although being vocal will often lead to the acquisition of attention, libraries are not an apt location where they should shout their thoughts with abandon. Allowing their pens and keyboards to do the duty in this instance, South Philly residents have let the masses know they hold the Fumo Family Branch, 2437 S. Broad St., as their expanse’s top library. “We appreciate having fantastic patrons who support what we do,� library supervisor Renee Pokorny said of the allegiance to the Lower Moyamensing haunt, one of South Philly’s five system sites. “We try to make this a fun and friendly environment and to connect with the community.� The resident of the 900 block of Bainbridge Street and eight colleagues, whom she dubbed “the most amazing team,�

resonate with readers because of their diverse programming, including the recent addition of activities geared toward youths on the autism spectrum. With approximately 25,000 items available for one’s edification, the Bella Vista dweller stressed that the victorious venue has the ability to appeal to those with long connections to the Free Library of Philadelphia system and to those with random or even novel desires to sample resources. “We’re here to serve this community and to try to make it stronger through literacy,� Pokorny, a 13-year presence at Fumo, which builds its bond with the neighborhood through a great partnership with the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association, said. “We want to continue to reach new populations, too, because learning never stops. We’re thankful to be able to share that passion with everyone.� The Thomas F. Donatucci Sr. Branch checked out a second-place finish, while the Charles Santore Branch found renewal in third. --- J.M.

A splendid space In Marconi, just a half-dozen blocks southwest of the Oregon Broad Street Line station, Anthony Spadaccini is keeping one of the city’s best Rec Centers humming. In a double win for best rec Center/Playground and basketball

court/baseball field, the 2400 block of South Rosewood Street resident and five-year rec leader has been frequenting Barry Playground, 1800 Johnston St., since he was a child. Now, in a leadership position, he’s coordinating programming year-round and hiring help, often youths he’s watched grow up before his very eyes. “I was working at Guerin at 16th and Jackson as a trainee when a position opened up at Barry, and they asked me if I would be interested and I jumped on it,� Spadaccini, a former personal trainer who turned to recreation as a more sustaining and satisfying line of work, said. “I have a lot of kids that worked for me as counselors that are now working [in the summers] as lifeguards and pool staff.� His reach is diverse at the Marconi site - from pool staffing to summer camp planning; to basketball, volleyball and baseball; and he’s hoping to keep getting bigger and better. For one, their center’s being renovated right this moment: “We should have a new building come May or June. It’s great. They’re going to put in new bathrooms and make it bigger. There’s wasn’t much indoor space to do inside programming,� he added. “We’re going to add a lot more cultural programs, maybe an after-school program, we’ll have computers - there’s a lot of good changes to come.� Some improvements are on their way for the pair of playgrounds on the park parcel - a regular one and a tiny one for the tots. They’ve got a great little pool, too, something Spadaccini says the locals (who don’t know better) can be suspicious of, “but it’s a really cool find for the summer if you don’t go down the Shore. It’s safe, clean, we have a great staff; a lot of people don’t even know we have it.� As for a best-of honor, he’s very pleased. “It’s great to be recognized from the community,� he said. “It’s very closeknit, I grew up here, and I feel honored to be recognized as the top playground, center and basketball court because we do put a lot of work in behind the scenes to keep it safe and I’m looking forward to the coming year. So come out to Barry!� For Rec Center/Playground, Palumbo Rec Center and Playground came in second place, while Burke Playground came in third. In the category of Basketball Court/Baseball Field, second place honors go to the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, and third place went to the Edward O’ Malley Athletic Association. --- B.C.

air stylists can grow on people quite quickly, with their blend of expertise and extroversion inciting immediate senses of comfort. Since 2004, Nancy Melchiore and the ladies at Headhunters Hair Design, 1718 E. Passyunk Ave., have met every follicle challenge head on and have cut the competition down to size to claim South Philly’s top hair salon prize. “When I bought the space, I really wanted to have a successful business,� the proprietor, of the 2900 block of South 16th Street, said from her establishment. “Recognition like this gives us a great idea of our value to the community.� The Marconi inhabitant and her six staffers find themselves constantly in demand, with Melchiore citing their experience as what helps to breed such trust. With plenty of proms and weddings occurring in the spring, they expect to continue to primp their diverse clientele with gusto and gregariousness. “I saw they won a Readers’ Choice Award and thought this would be a great place to work,� Amanda Maratea, a stylist and Novalash Advanced Certified Lash Extensionist, said of her nearly eight-year tenure under Melchiore. “I love that we’re able to meet so many different needs because that shows we’re not just for one sort of customer.� The resident of the 2400 block of South Chadwick Street and her peers also contribute to HopeCuts, a charitable endeavor benefiting cancer and HIV/AIDS research

endeavors, and pride themselves on being cheerful chums to other thoroughfare presences, which they will prove their hair and makeup duties during April 24’s Flavors of the Avenue celebration. “We have grown with the avenue, so it’s great to help out however we can,� Melchiore said of forging friendships. As for their ties with clients, Maratea credits their consistency for compelling voters to scribble her location’s name on ballots. “I’m so thankful for everybody who voted for us,� the Girard Estate dweller said. “A special thanks goes to those who’ve stuck with us for years.� Hot Waves curled up in second place, while Violet Hair and Nail Salon snipped off a third-place finish. --- J.M.

Straight-up serenity

South Philadelphia corner bar has a certain atmosphere that is matched by few other establishments. It’s a place to wind down from the stress of the day, have a beer and talk or maybe yell about the stories of the day. These are places like Sam Malone’s fictional bar “Cheers� “where everybody knows your name� and regulars are greeted with joyful but sometimes unsavory language. Readers’ Choice award winner for best bar Stogie Joe’s Tavern, 1801 E Passyunk Ave, prides itself on combining the welcoming feeling of a corner bar with the selection of a tap room, and the food of a high end restaurant.

Stogie’s wide variety of beer is a constant draw to those yearning for hoppy goodness, and the man to thank for introducing the Southside to their new favorite craft beer is manager Joey DiOrio. “I work with our sales rep, I search beeradvocate.com a lot and ratebeers. com and our bartenders will go out to other bars and text me if something’s really good. But also you have to be diverse; you got to make sure you have a porter, an IPA, a stout, just try to have a selection,� DiOrio said in commenting on his bunch of brews. Crescenzo Ciliberto, affectionately called “Chris Chill� by his friends and people that cannot pronounce his name, has been a vital part of the Leuzzi family-owned business working in the kitchen since the start of Stogie Joe’s Tavern in 2008. While the East Passyunk Avenue bar is still young compared to other establishments, Stogie’s has racked up an impressive amount of awards in its short time. Ciliberto credits the Leuzzi brothers for the early success as he said, “Hard work will always get it done and nothing was given to them, everybody works hard.� The tavern’s kitchen also thrives on its ability to cook simple bar food like burgers and sandwiches and also homecooked favorites like meatballs and crab gravy. Ciliberto believes his South Philly upbringing fostered his culinary talent, as he said “We are fortunate to grow up in South Philly; we grew up eating well.� Brothers’ Two raised a glass in secondplace, while Rosewood bought a round in third. --- J.F.

nyone can take pride in the aesthetics of a place, be it a store, a theater, or an eatery, but if nobody comes, what lasting satisfaction can one have? Rich Cedrone does not need to pose such an inquiry regarding Marconi Plaza, 2700 S. Broad St., as the 19-acre gem receives ample adulation for its looks and growing legacy as a recreational haven, with residents’ regard leading to its designation as South Philly’s top park. “We’re happy that it’s well-used because more use leads to a stronger neighborhood with less crime to worry about,� Cedrone, the Friends of Marconi Plaza resident, said of the victorious expanse. “We’re excited for the future, too, because there are some great things in store.� The inhabitant of the 2700 block of South Iseminger Street, already thrilled to have a seasonal worker to address the space’s maintenance needs, to host two Love Your Park celebrations, and to hold well-received movie nights that the City of Philadelphia has commended, yearns for the eventual addition of more lighting through the Stadium Casino LLC overseers, an identity as a live music provider, and the implementation this spring of a farmers’ market. Also the president of the South Philadelphia Communities Civic Association, he greatly anticipates the endowment of that entity, along with two other civic bodies, with funds from a community benefits agreement. “Simply put, we want the park to thrive and for people to have plenty of opportunities to enjoy great programming and chances to build friendships,� Cedrone said of the space that last year oversaw National

aul Stricker is a strict adherent of seeking and maximizing means to expand and strengthen one’s identity and definitely considers geography a potential provider of boosts to self-esteem. He and around 5,000 other inhabitants of Packer Park can tout their expanse as an inspirational turf, with many of them deeming it idyllic enough to help it to claim South Philly’s top neighborhood prize. “I feel it fosters enthusiasm for bettering yourself,� the resident of the 3500 block of South 20th Street said of the renowned section. “It strikes me as a place bursting with possibility and filled with very courteous people.� With 12 years on his block, Stricker, whose holiday spirit becomes apparent

through well-received Christmas decorations, has experienced personal maturation courtesy of his neighborhood’s amenities, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park. His surroundings breed such a sense of tranquility that he dubs Packer Park “a suburb within a city.� “There is definitely a healthy amount of pride in the people who live here,� Stricker, also a fan of bicycling through the stretch, said. “I had great expectations when I moved here, and I’m certainly happy with how life has gone.� With a nearly 33-year connection to Packer Park thanks to her grandparents, Marilyn D’Angelo also upholds estimation of the area as a source of memorable occurrences. Deeming it quiet, safe, abounding in good parking, green space, and neighbors who decorate and tidy the environs, the occupant of the 1600 block of Packer Avenue loves being able to pronounce herself a member of the community and noted that not only is it a great realm for upright creatures but also fourlegged friends. “Packer Park is for sure the best neighborhood,� she opined, divulging that her grandparents purchased the home in which she now resides in 1983. “I love the house and the neighborhood. It’s one of the few constants in my life.

She was my chief supporter for 30 years, and sharing roughly 500 words about her, a meager fraction of the total that she deserved, helped to ease the pain and remind me that she will never truly leave me. 5) June 4, 2011: On a quiet Saturday afternoon, I rent the air with shouts of joy upon learning I had won awards from the Philadelphia Press Association, the first such distinction for my writing.

Go, Hawks!) on this sunny Monday. The following year was a difficult one financially and emotionally, but I kept believing my days on Hawk Hill would yield a fruitful path. Almost 15 years later, I appreciate each step on the journey. 3) May 10, 2010: The South Philly Review took a chance on me as a staff writer on this date, and I am so glad that it did. Lord knows how many items I have written here, but each has found me striving to tell an interesting, moving story that honors the commitment that South Philadelphians have to their pursuits, causes, neighborhoods, and loved ones. 2) April 11, 2015: If you are vaguely familiar with these top 10 lists, you will know that I often give my son a plug.

Having played the game since age 10 (I turned 37 yesterday), I joined the children as he instructed them and soon learned he was looking to start an association in South Philly.

For a Southwest Philly kid who had some reservations about attending school down here, I must say I deeply value my four years in Grays Ferry. 8) May 5, 2009: I received my master’s degree from Arcadia University shortly after making my culminating project presentation, offering four poems from my collection “Permafrost� before a receptive audience.

A Newbold denizen is portraying an outspoken adolescent from a literary classic. ®ÊBy Joseph Myers REVIEW EDITOR

/

s the nurturer of a “not particularly subdued” personality, Claire Inie-Richards values occasions through which she can convey animated attractions to questioning the cosmos and enjoying her existence. Finding utter joy when channeling those penchants on stage, the 24-year-old is continuing her captivating connection with People’s Light by playing Marianne Dashwood, the equally opinionated teenager in Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility.” “She has thoughts on everything,” the Newbold inhabitant said of the youth, who, along with

her sister, Elinor, the personification of sense to the younger figure’s sensibility, must muster the maturity to deal with perplexing circumstances as they come to contemplate love and loss while craving residential security. “We’re very similar in that we possess this romanticism about life that manifests in sometimes unreasonable idealism.” Inie-Richards is tackling that duel between pragmatism and advanced optimism through Sunday. With one year as a company member of the Malvern-situated entity, she revels over being able to reach into her soul to bolster Joseph Hanreddy and J.R. Sullivan’s adaptation of the enduring and endearing text, opining that the opportunity meshes with her other endeavors on the Leonard C. Haas Stage to present material with “a huge amount of heart, hope, and redemption.” “It’s a company of loving people,” she said of the Chester County haunt with whom she has been affiliated for more than

half of her life, having commenced classes there at age 11. “Being in this show, since we have such a large cast, I feel especially enthused about every chance to interact with them and learn from them.� Cast in March 2015 to play Marianne, Inie-Richards, highly familiar with the character through a BBC production and the 1995 film version of the 1811 novel, with Kate Winslet playing the adolescent and the recently deceased Alan Rickman portraying eventual love interest Colonel Brandon, read the book three months later and eventually united the text and the adapters’ handiwork to craft a depiction that has thrilled her since the show’s Feb. 10 opening. “She’s fairly young yet quite aware of the inconstant nature of so much,� the actress said of the 16-year-old. “Her lines are beautiful to read and speak, and I really commend everyone involved for taking a book that I frankly found a little difficult to make it through and giving us such an opportunity to shine. It’s projects like this one that really make me feel fortunate to be involved with People’s Light.�

GROWING UP NOT far from Malvern, the Kimberton product began her theatrical journey as a second-grader, noting that “being loud� helped her first performances to resonate with her as an indication of a possibly fruitful path. “Everything felt natural,� Inie-Richards said of stages’ allure. “It was something that intrigued me, this whole idea of being a part of a story. Early on, of course, I wasn’t really focused on the sort of material that I was doing. Now, though, I’m constantly thinking about what stories I want to be a part of and what kind of connections I can make with my peers.� Blessed with “a certain animation,� the young woman, having begun her professional tenure at People’s Light at 14, auditioned in Chicago for enrollment at The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. The Cardiff, Wales-based conservatoire, which also educated Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins, gave her an enhanced sense of the intensity of her field but did not ultimately serve as a terrific aid in securing her employment in the United Kingdom.

“I moved to London and thought about having a career there,� Inie-Richards said of the immediate line of thinking following her June 2014 graduation. “I stayed there until December of that year because it just wasn’t working out.� Half of her belongings remain in England, but her whole heart rests in Philadelphia, particularly South Philly, where she has resided since September. Living a purely practical life in a welcoming neighborhood, she looks forward to becoming familiar with the impressive crop of actors and actresses who call our expanse home. “There’s never a shortage of theater in Philadelphia, and it’s neat to find out who’s who and what everybody’s story is,� Inie-Richards said. “I’m a pretty curious person, so it’s awesome to learn what people are up to and what sorts of tales they’re trying to tell.� She expects to remain forever fond of People’s Light and lauds its output for being an extension of its nurturing identity. Like Marianne’s desire for economic surety, Inie-Richards’ quest for professional stability comes from a place of self-

awareness and fiery consideration of the grander scheme beyond one’s confines. For People’s Light, through whom she will have employment next season, too, she has appeared in such revered works as “The Cherry Orchard,� “The Crucible,� “King Lear,� and “Twelfth Night.� Adding “Sense and Sensibility� to her ledger delights the budding hire, with Marianne’s lack of much of a filter serving as a fictitious match for her own want of a suppression button. “It is great to be informed and to wonder about what’s around you,� Inie-Richards said. “When you have so many opinions, you take a few reasonable leaps to determine what’s founded and what’s not. That’s part of making the full transition into adulthood. I’m glad that People’s Light is helping me to do that, and I love that I’m picking up so much by living in Philadelphia.� SPR Call 610-644-3500, or visit peopleslight. org.

n my Italian family, we liked to pretend that all the important people in the world were honorary Italians. My folks swore St. Patrick was Italian until the day they died. Historians believe that he was born in Britain. He did get his taste for cinnamon potatoes in Ireland. I love cinnamon potatoes, but they’ve become a no-no since my blood sugar spiked as if it were scoring points against the Sixers’ defense. I found that substituting raw kale chips doesn’t really make my St. Patty’s Day bright, even if the chips are green, the color of choice on this day. I worked with a guy who used to dress up like a leprechaun every St. Patty’s Day. The guy actually looked like a leprechaun. Even his shoes curled up at the toes. One day, he disappeared and everyone swore he had found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or more likely at one of the blackjack tables in Atlantic City. Back in the day, if one of my own had married an Irish girl, it would’ve been considered a mixed marriage and we automatically expected the two families would go to war. I once went with an Irish girl after I finished my mandatory military service requirement. We were really crazy about one another until her Ireland-born father saw me show up one day wearing my father’s old cashmere top coat and a gray Stetson hat. He thought I either had gangland ties or I was taking a screen test for a movie about gangsters. I felt I was the victim of an unfortunate stereotype. When I got a Valentine’s Day card from her addressed to “Dear Friend,� I knew instinctively it was over. But, until then, we really enjoyed St. Patty’s Day, with her doing her traditional Celtic dances and me eating my Irish potatoes. My wardrobe and the traditional wearing of the green never were very compatible. Kelly green was never a big fashion color for me, so, consequently I had to reach deep into my array of ties to find one that barely met the requirement. One wise guy on the corner used to say, “Where’s the lad’s green today on St. Patty’s Day?� Another wiseacre would answer, “Just check out his teeth.� My relationship with the Irish blonde lass I was dating came to an end when she told a priest friend I had “bedroom eyes.� I think she just meant the color of my eyes was very close to the shade of the Sealy Posturepedic

ÂŽ a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [

mattress she had recently purchased. Notwithstanding the innocence of her remark, the priest advised that she should not subject herself to that kind of temptation, so she ended our relationship. I tried to convince her to let me worry about the temptation, but for some reason, the priest intervened again on behalf of her virtue and nixed the idea. I have since always counseled women not to have close friendships with priests. I’m not sure this is part of the Irish tradition in honoring St. Patrick, but my friends and I always liked to spend that time in Madison Square Garden watching a basketball tournament. Back in the day, we justified our tradition because there was always a little Irish point guard on each competing team who would inevitably light up the Garden with his play. Today, not even the University of Notre Dame can find an Irish point guard. The great play of AfricanAmericans dominates the game today, and I’ve got news for Notre Dame. Putting the word IRISH on their jerseys in bold capital letters doesn’t make these guys Irish. My Irish friends and I always kidded each other about the difference in our taste for food. Some stereotypes are rooted in truth. My Irish friends back then never said “Let’s celebrate St. Patty’s Day with a good meal.� They seemed to have a disdain for food. Food was something one ate so as not to starve to death. You didn’t love food anymore than you fell in love with your laxative (until MiraLAX came along). Food was something one ate when tired of drinking beer. We Italians, on the other hand, made fun of their lack of enthusiasm for food. The barbs would fly while I helped myself to a box of cinnamon potatoes I purchased at half price, the day after St. Patty’s Day. I have to admit the Irish love for St. Patrick seems to far exceed our love of Christopher Columbus. Honoring St. Patrick was a way of honoring Irish culture and contained none of the naysaying that Italians have to put up with about Columbus, like the Vikings beat him to America or that he greeted the Indians by slaughtering them. We’re defensive about Columbus while the Irish are ever proud of St. Patrick. I did find out when I was a teen that all those KISS ME, I’M IRISH buttons that pretty Irish girls wear on St. Patty’s Day were not to be taken literally. I still think we win the debate with the Irish over whether one would rather date Sophia Loren or Maureen O’Hara. I think if he were being honest, even John Wayne would’ve agreed with us. I hear Donald Trump is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by marketing his own brand of cinnamon potatoes. Trump go braugh! SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

blocks from august, for a bottle of wine. There was a chill in the air, so I had instinctively reached for a red, but wished for a dry Sauvignon Blanc to sip alongside the artichokes. The plump rigatoni noodles in the sausage Bolognese ($18) were cooked to perfection, and a dusting of parmesan completed the dish. This was basic bolognese –with a generous amount of meat, as it should be. No attempts (or need) to reinvent the wheel here. Adventurous eaters? Don’t order this. But been through a bad breakup? Entertaining your Italian grandmother? Yes. Get the Bolognese. Brancaccio quietly appeared tableside halfway through our meal to ask how everything tasted. Otherwise, she stood discreetly near the open kitchen, unspoken assurance that everything was under control, and that I was in for a positive dining experience. The farfalle ($21) was divine and included generous portions of lump crab meat. It was rich, accented by red slivers of sundried tomatoes that cut through all of the glorious butter. This is a dish for all seasons - the bowtied noodles, slick with a light cream sauce, is the right kind of heavy for winter, and the butter/crab combination is quintessential summer. Aunt Lena’s cheesecake was calling, but when I asked our server her dessert preference, she answered immediately and emphatically - the chocolate chip banana bread pudding. At $7.50, it was a great value and incredibly tasty. Like the rest of my experience – it felt familiar. Have I eaten this before? I wondered. There is an easiness to the entire dining experience that explains why this small, cash-only byob has remained a neighborhood favorite for more than a decade. After all, once you’ve met the owner, looked at her family photos, and maybe even tasted her Aunt Lena’s cheesecake, you start feeling pretty loyal. August will not blow you away, but it will comfort you. Three tips of the toque to august. SPR

Mr. Joe’s CafÊ’s Homemade Ricotta Gnocchi

/

t the tender age of 77, Vince Termini Sr. has amassed many memories involving pleasant exchanges over food. The lion’s share of those occasions has come among his relatives, and it is that emphasis on enjoying a familial feel that drives the proceedings at Mr. Joe’s CafĂŠ, 1514 S. Eighth St. “Meeting people and offering them these meals are activities that really delight me,â€? the Montgomery County inhabitant said of what motivates him to operate the Passyunk Square establishment with wife Barbara. “I believe in bonding over food, and I love making everything from scratch to make that possible.â€? The former Girard Estate resident had already won locals’ reverence for his secondgeneration status as the upholder of the baked goods legacy at Termini Bros., 1523 S. Eighth St. and 1538 Packer Ave., when he decided to revamp the space that had served as the original location for his father and uncle’s baking brainchild. As his patriarch, the namesake of the dining destination, chose not to discard mementos, the businessman elected to have the cafe serve as a museum and an homage to the family’s Italian ancestry. “My father’s spirit is still in here,â€? Termini said as patrons in the 35-seat space sated themselves on selections from the 16-options-strong menu, not including ample specials, with panini and pasta creations coming with a complimentary glass of wine, a small salad, and a dessert. “There’s a lot of friendliness in here, and I’m thrilled that we’ve been august able to have a nice presence here.â€?

that sons Joseph and Vince Jr. helm. Heading the menu’s pasta offerings is Homemade Ricotta Gnocchi, the recipe for which he chose to share. “It’s definitely our top item,� he said of the $20 delight. “I take pride in making it, so since making your own pasta is becoming a popular practice, I like the idea of letting people know how it happens here.�

DIRECTIONS: Mix the ricotta, and add the eggs. Mix the grated cheese, and combine it, the basil, the semolina, and the flour with the first two components. Make sure that the united ingredients are moist enough since you will be rolling them out to make ropes. If they are not, use more flour. Cut the ropes to your desired size. Place in a freezer. Add the items to a pot, and boil until the water reaches the top. Scoop out the contents, and apply marinara or pesto sauce. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/ features.

ou have passed through the intersection at 13th and Wharton streets hundreds of times over the years, on your way north into Center City, zipping east for a bottle at the Wine and Spirits, or errands on Columbus Boulevard. Occasionally you notice the unassuming exterior of a small restaurant on the northeast corner, an Italian byo called august. It is easy to overlook the space. It is, after all, surrounded by row homes. And since it’s closed three of seven days a week (it’s open: Wednesday-Thursday, 5:30-9:30 p.m., Friday- Saturday, 5:30-10:00 p.m.), its blinds are drawn almost half of the time. And unlike the nearby gaggle of East Passyunk Avenue restaurants, august shares a street corner with an elementary school. August may not be trendy, but it’s steady. A number of its dishes (the artichoke hearts, the roasted peppers) have been on the menu since its inception, with prices creeping only slightly since partners MaryAnn Brancaccio and Maria Vanni opened their doors in 2003. When I finally got around to dining at august almost two weeks ago, I was anticipating meeting Vanni, whose reputation for warmth and hospitality precedes her. But it was Brancaccio who greeted us. She was not smiley, but she was friendly. She insisted I take my time removing my layers, generously chatting about the day’s cold snap instead of standing silent and impatient while I untangled my winter-wear. Though all the tables would be full by 7:30, there were only two other parties seated with us at 6:00; the atmosphere of the snug dining room was intimate, but not quiet. Brancaccio and Vanni named the restaurant after the month they met - the first of countless darling details that manage to make an unpretentious dining experience feel truly special. My favorite touch was the family photos on the front of each menu. Our server was very well trained; she knew the story behind each photo, explaining them to us and everyone else who asked: That’s the owner’s garden and Yes, that’s a photo of her parents. We ordered the beet salad ($9) to start and were disappointed. With beets hitting every restaurant’s menu everywhere the past few years, competition is fierce. (If you are still not on the beet bandwagon, Barbuzzo’s beet salad with kale and pistachio pesto is a game-changer) The shredded ricotta salata was displeasing to the eye and clung limply to the beets. I thought of adding salt. But the roasted artichokes ($10) were as rich and delicious as they were rumored to be, with a perfectly balanced acidity. Though I had been relatively unimpressed with the cold bread and butter presented to me at the start of the meal, I reached for it without hesitation to soak up the warm, savory broth at the bottom of the dish. Before dinner, we had popped into the Wine and Spirits on 11th, conveniently located just two

olice responded to a report of a robbery on the 1200 block of Fitzgerald Street at 1:15 p.m. March 1, learning from the complainant that he had been walking on the block when bandanna-bedecked individuals approached him from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The initial offender swung a straight razor at him, cutting his left hand and face. The second stranger struck him in the back of the head, leading to his falling to the ground, where he received a stab wound to his right thigh.

A West Passyunk Man is in police custody for supposedly burglarizing a neighborhood store. Authorities reported to Sweet Treats Cafe, 1705 Snyder Ave., at 11:17 p.m. March 2, and observed a man in the store. Venturing inside, they saw another person standing in the stairway and soon needed to go after the first once he reportedly fled out of the rear of the establishment, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Apprehending both figures, they observed plastic shopping bags containing merchandise inside the first offender’s second-floor apartment. Having observed that someone had pried open the side door leading from the apartment stairway into the store, had broken the deadbolt, and had knocked over several shelves, they spoke with the owner, who identified merchandise in the apartment as materials from her business. She had locked the space and said the detained individuals did not have permission to be in her store or to remove items. Police detained Anthony Bird, of the 1700 block of Snyder Avenue, and Lucia Williams, of Northeast Philly. They charged them with criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespassing, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property. Court records list them as having a joined codefendant case and a a preliminary hearing set for today. SPR

The Philadelphia Fire Department is searching for additional answers in a West Passyunk-situated incident. The department’s civil servant peers from the Philadelphia Police Department responded to a radio call for a person with a weapon on the 2200 block of South Beechwood Street at 5:34 a.m. Tuesday and discussed the matter with a woman, learning from her that an unknown male wearing a black jacket, a blue hoodie, and khaki pants threw an object into her home, starting a fire in doing so, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The officers observed a shattered first-floor window and a broken glass bottle with a wick in the neck. Smelling a strong odor of gasoline, they contacted the Fire Board, which determined the scene to be an arson. Interviewing a neighbor, detectives learned a loud boom woke her up, and she observed an unknown man standing in front of the complainant’s home and watching the fire that began to engulf the sidewalk. When the male, whom authorities are saying could be the perpetrator, heard mention of possible police presence on the scene, he turned and walked away, last seen heading northbound on Beechwood Street. While surveying the surroundings, Bomb Squad personnel located another Molotov cocktail on the same block as the complainant’s residence. As of press time, authorities had no physical description to go with the details concerning the male’s clothing. Call the Philadelphia Fire Department at 215686-1300, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Authorities have captured the second suspect in a Point Breeze home invasion. On March 10, eight days after the arrest of Tillman Byrd, law enforcement officials announced the arrest of Southwest Philly occupant Robert Kareem Roper in connection with a Valentine’s Day incident on the 1100 block of South Mole Street. In that incident, two unknown males knocked on a woman’s door to state they needed to check her water pipes. They left when she informed them her pipes were fine but returned shortly after, forcing their way into the home. The occupant ended up pistol-whipped with one aggressor ransacking her bedroom. Authorities revealed they tracked the 29-yearold to a residence on the 4100 block of West Girard Avenue and that as police personnel and FBI Violent Crime Task Force workers surrounded the abode, Roper allegedly jumped from a secondfloor side window and briefly eluded their search. They found him on the 4100 block of Poplar Street and charged him with criminal conspiracy, simple and aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, making terroristic threats, criminal trespassing, robbery, burglary, attempted theft, impersonation, and firearms violations. He had not posted his $125,000 bail as of press time and awaits an April 15 status hearing.

Psychic Reader

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Rely on S instincts instead of surface appearances. Following your first impulse regarding someone you care about could lead to regret. Someone’s silence could be misinterpreted as indifference. The person is just trying to get his or her head around surprising issues. Text messages leave much unsaid. Read between the lines. Lucky number: 519. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Ideas on how to approach a joint project won’t be well received. If you feel someone’s being deliberately unfair, consult a higher authority. Leaders will eventually meet and will have to agree on something. There is a deal to be reached, and, eventually, objections will be overcome. Lucky number: 309. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): You’re tempted to remove yourself from a quarrel-

F

some scene, but someone needs support. Outsiders are taking advantage of a system set up for the needy. Overhauling outmoded guidelines will create a more efficient process. There should be penalties for abusers of the system and rule breakers. Lucky number: 168. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): This is a good time to work in a team. Working alongside a knowledgeable executive will help you acquire valuable skills. Tackle a subject you had problems with in the past. A good teacher makes all the difference. Lucky number: 915. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): Guard against people who will take advantage of you in finance and business. A charismatic figure has ulterior motives in displaying kindness, so think twice before following any advice. You will accomplish much, provided you protect your interests and avoid fatiguing yourself. Lucky number: 271. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Someone who is all sweet talk might turn out not particularly sincere. Receiving pampering is nice, but not if a neighbor or colleague is using charm to trick or deceive. You’ve placed your trust in the wrong person. Cut ties immediately if you feel you’ve made a big mistake. Lucky number: 695.

do the opposite. Avoid taking everything to heart. Someone with a less-than-charitable nature will include unfair criticism in conversations and isn’t being supportive because your success feels threatening. Lucky number: 542.

Dig deep to find the energy to cope with extra responsibilities. Accepting help could inspire you to stick at it longer. Lucky number: 658. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Keep in contact with an exciting character who has recently entered your life, as the two of you could help each other greatly. Being so different, you continue to amaze each other. The person will inspire you to be more creative while you will encourage him or her to slow down. Lucky number: 981.

Sharp thinking is your ally in financial and business dealings. Mind your appearance, as you may be called to an unexpected meeting. An agreement’s terms will require clarification before you sign the dotted line. Lucky number: 293. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): You and a colleague are developing a new interest in each other. You won’t have to make the first move. Your practical and efficient ways have already made a good impression. Are you already in a committed relationship? Knowing your partner is always there to support you is comforting. Matters of the heart bring happiness. Lucky number: 486. SPR

Notice is hereby given that on or about March 1, 2016, Envirowaste, LLC will ďŹ le a permit application with the PA Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Southeastern Regional OfďŹ ce to authorize the direct transfer of privately collected municipal waste and construction /demolition waste (C & D) at an existing, permitted, rail and truck served BeneďŹ cial Use C & D Processing facility located at 13 Pattison Avenue, Philadelphia, PA. 19148. The permit application is being submitted to authorize the direct transfer of privately collected municipal waste and construction demolition waste under an individual permit in addition to the currently approved acceptance and processing of construction /demolition waste for beneďŹ cial use under BeneďŹ cial Use General Permit WMGM043SE001. The construction and operation of the existing processing facility was approved by DEP on March 9, 2015 with authorization to accept up to 1000 tons per day of C & D waste for processing prior to beneďŹ cial use with all outbound waste to be transferred by rail except for up to 250 tons per day of waste by truck. All outbound recyclables will be transferred by truck. The facility is fully constructed. The new application does not propose any changes in the current approved capacity of the facility, maximum daily volume of 1,000 tons per day, the overall permit area, outbound truck limits or operating hours. Internal modiďŹ cations to the facility are proposed to provide areas for the handling and direct transfer of MSW and C & D waste separate from the processing activities. Municipal waste and C & D received will be transferred by truck or rail (C & D only) to designated, permitted disposal facilities. As the host municipality and county, the City of Philadelphia may submit comments to DEP within 60 days of receipt of the permit application recommending conditions upon, revisions to and approval or disapproval of the permit application. DEP will also accept and consider comments from the public during the permit review process. A copy of the permit application will be available for review at the DEP Southeast Regional OfďŹ ce, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401-4915. Comments should be directed to Mr. James Wentzel, Regional Waste Management Manager at this same address.
