esires for certain joys may decline as one ages, but a hunger to halt hunger never droops. Eighteen future food specialists at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., welcomed six seniors, including four from the JCC Stiffel Senior Center, 604 Porter St., in packaging meals for local elders March 23. The 10th Annual March for Meals campaign, part of the Meals On Wheels Association of America, united the groups, whose handiwork included an See MEALS page 10

A Passyunk Square school made additional history by scoring a trio of titles. By Joseph Myers................Page 35

ince March 21, workers in bright yellow vests have been hitting the streets to pick up litter, sweep sidewalks and remove graffiti on and around East Passyunk Avenue. The crew from the Center City-based ABM Janitorial Services will be utilized twice a day, six days a week along the avenue and its immediate area while outlying parts of the Passyunk Avenue Revitaliza-

tion Corp.’s boundaries — Federal Street to Snyder Avenue and Broad to Ninth streets — will be tidied up twice a week. ABM won the contract by the resurrected nonprofit, formerly Citizens Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, which halted its cleaning services April 30, 2009 due to ongoing litigation that resulted from its founder — former state Sen. Vincent Fumo — and former head — Ruth Arnao — being convicted of multiple counts of fraud for stealing from the nonprofit. Its board members were forced to resign as part a

settlement in the state suit brought on by then-Attorney General Tom Corbett, which included the court appointing Paul Levy as interim conservator to find whether or not the organization could be revived. Levy saw potential, so it relaunched in January after the court approved his findings. With new Executive Director Sam Sherman Jr., the group made plans to resume some of its cleaning services and maintain its duties as a landlord to many See PARC page 12

Word on the Street

Clean sweep

How do you think the Phillies will fare this season? “They’re going to win the championship. If the pitching steps up we should roll.” Anthony Rotondaro, 11th and Emily streets

“I don’t care about the Phillies. I just hope they reach the World Series so the Yankees can beat them.” Paula Couvertier, Snyder and West Passyunk avenues

“I honestly think they will do great. I mean if the pitching does what everyone thinks they can do, there is no reason why the Phillies can’t win it all.” Jessica Grant, 12th and Jackson streets

“Ninety-two wins and the World Series.” Robert Street, Broad and Wolf streets

Tell us your thoughts

To the Editor Well homeowners, it looks like City Council has done it again. Its members seemed to have found a new way to steal money from all of the city’s homeowners. If you haven’t noticed, our real estate taxes have gone up. For me, it is the third increase in three years. Rather than increase the assessed value of all of the homes in the city, which would be a monstrous task because they would have to do each house in the city one at a time, City Council members have found a way to increase your taxes. There is a thing called millage rate connected to the amount of taxes each homeowner pays. Mayor Michael Nutter wants all residents (including those whose taxes he increased) to get out on April 2 and clean up the mess in the streets. In his open letter to residents (“Keep up the sweep up!,” March 24) I quote, “Once again, let’s join forces and set out to make this our biggest cleanup yet.” I agree we should join forces and set out to make this our biggest cleanup yet by cleaning out City Hall starting with Michael Nutter and go right though City Council. Don’t forget what these people are doing to us especially those of us who are struggling to make ends meet. We can do this at voting time the next time we go to the polls. Let us make a clean sweep then.

ronment but it dissolves, and the big but is the ash grinds and damages the roadway surfaces and the pavements, wears on tires and gets into every crack. Then it is tracked onto house carpets and car mats. It makes my head itch and requires more time and money to clean. Worst yet, the sewer lines cannot take the ash, and flooding and clogging results. Sounds like a no-win. This winter did you wonder why the city streets’ surfaces had ice that would not go away? Well, the answer is the ash and sand compacts the ice, making it harder, more like cement. A real slippery slope. So, the city and state dumped a mixture of salt and ash to save budget money. Is it smart and economical? Ladies and gents, the City will not be sweeping it away and it won’t be the summer wind to blow it across the sea, or be totally washed away by the April showers. The city’s message is “go pound sand.” So, to have a clean block it will be up to us Cinder-fella’s and Cinder-gals to sweep it up one pan or pound at a time or say adios partner, hit the trail and ride off into the sunset!

George Munce South Philadelphia

To the Editor: Mayor Michael Nutter and Councilman Bill Green are opponents of the DROP program, but will endorse Councilwoman Marian Tasco because they say she is the better candidate for the job. They’ll probably endorse Marge Tartaglione and Maria Donatucci also. And the Democratic party chairman will probably endorse them all. How do they know who’s better if you don’t give anyone else a chance? The Republican party (even though we are the minority party) is the only one with cojones to publicly say it wouldn’t endorse Councilmen-atLarge Frank Rizzo and Jack Kelly, Councilwomen Donna Reed, Joan Krajewski, Council President Anna Verna and Councilman Frank DiCicco saw the writing on the wall and said that they wouldn’t run. God only knows what kind of deals were made for this to happen. Who promised jobs to whom?

True grit To the Editor: In America the streets are paved with gold, but not in South Philly. They are littered with tons of cinder ash and gravel as an aftermath of the waves of the street treatments for the never ending ice and snow storms. (Not to mention the endless street construction — like Porter Street — plumber ditches and PGW). The crunching sound while driving and parking and/or walking on uneven jags of stones has risen to a level above tolerance. There is no excuse! The City government has added tons of crust to filth-adelphia by not tidying up. I think as taxpaying citizens we deserve better. We know salt endangers the envi-

John Nacchio Jr. South Philadelphia

The ﬂip-ﬂop policy

That’s the way politics works in this city. The Democrats have been making back-room deals for more than 50 years that I can remember. It’s time to stop this by putting term limits on any elected official that doesn’t have one yet. The mayor and governor have limits, so everyone else should. Back when Mayor Frank Rizzo wanted to change the charter to run a third time the voters shot in down. How about if we put a question on the ballot for the voters and ask whether or not they want all elected officials to have term limits and see what happens. As for any elected official who complains about something and then does the opposite they should wear flip-flops while in office. Better yet, they should be given out when they’re put in office.

must have been 11 or 12 when I saw my grandma release her inner Mick Jagger. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right: Marge, my gray-haired granny who must have been in her 80s at that point but with enough vivacity of a 20-something, was watching â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Liveâ&#x20AC;? with my younger sister, Lisa, and me in the living room of her Southwest Philly rowhome when the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical guest and his band (the Rolling Stones, for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know their classic rock) were introduced. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember their performance, probably because my eyes werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the TV. They were fixated on grandma, standing with her hands to her sides, hips gyrating, and lips puckered as to

imitate Mickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive mouth and mannerisms. In typical Jagger fashion, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d thrust her arm in the air on occasion, almost as if she was having a spasm. Lisa and I laughed so hard, the neighbors probably thought we were being tickled to death. I had no idea Grams knew who Mick was, let alone the way he shimmied on stage. What wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprising was this energy of hers I became so accustomed to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an energy that got her through an array of medical scares, including a bout with cancer right around the time I was born, and kept her as active as a energetic teenager. If my grandma struggled with something, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never know it; complaining wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her style. Her cure to any of her ailments was a simple one: Quality time with her family and a big meal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult for me to describe the sense of joy I witnessed on her face when in the presence of her three sons, in-laws, grandchildren, friends, etc. since I have nothing to compare it to. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met anyone else whose basic need for sheer happiness was fulfilled ... SPR

man was found in critical condition after receiving multiple bullet wounds and crashing his car into a building Friday. Police found the 29-year-old behind the wheel of his crashed gold 1997 Nissan on the 1100 block of South 16th Street at 10:50 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While the auto, which had frontend damage, caused some harm to the home’s exterior, the Department of Licenses and Inspections deemed it to have no structural damage. The man, who was wounded behind his left ear and twice each in his left leg, left side and left arm, was conscious, but did not provide police with any details or a description of the offenders, Tolliver said. EMT personnel removed him from the car and transported him to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he was taken into surgery. Police recovered ballistics evidence and planned to check surveillance video from a police pole camera located at 16th and Federal streets, but, as of press time, the motive and the offenders were unknown. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

A Whitman woman will spend up to 15 years in prison for attempting to bribe a juror in her boyfriend’s attempted murder trial. Yolanda Watson, 42, was convicted of aggravated jury tampering — employing force or violence, obstructing administration of the law and tampering with a jury Jan. 21 and sentenced Friday to one to two years each for the latter two convictions with a term of seven-and-a-half to 15 years running concurrently for the former, according to court documents. Watson, who was arrested a year ago for the charges, must complete citizen classes, gain employment within six months of her release and remain under the supervision of the mental health unit upon release. Her boyfriend Rico Lofton, 36, of the 400 block of Durfor Street, is serving 30 to 60 years in jail with no parole for one count of criminal conspiracy and three counts of aggravated assault, which he was convicted of March 8, 2010. Lofton fired at a group of teens on the 600 block of Jackson Street at 3:10 p.m. Aug. 9, 2006 because he believed the teens beat up his son, according to the District Attorney’s Office. However the shots struck two innocent passers-by — the left hand of an 18-month-old boy in a stroller and a 17-year-old boy’s left leg.

Neighborhood grocer robbed

Suspect wanted

Although the assailant has not yet been caught, a Passyunk Square store’s surveillance equipment captured the store being robbed Saturday. An unknown man armed with a black semi-automatic handgun entered Philamex Tienda Mexicana, 1341 S. Ninth St. at 9:47 p.m. and demanded its on-duty employee to open the register, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After she complied, the man snatched about $180 before fleeing on foot. The employee was unharmed, Tolliver said. The man was described as white, age 26, 5-foot-10, 180 to 200 pounds and wearing a black hoody, blue jeans, a black ski mask and black gloves. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Authorities are offering an $1,000 reward to someone who can lead them to a Grays Ferry man allegedly responsible for various crimes. The United States Marshal Service and Philadelphia Police hope to apprehend Andre Cunningham, 19, who is suspected of threatening a woman by pointing a gun at Andre her on the 2700 block Cunningham of Wolf Street in January, is also allegedly responsible for other area shootings, U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force Supervisor James Burke said.

Witnesses saw a duo of shooters firing on a Point Breeze street last week. Police have not located any victims or the gunmen. Police arrived on the 2200 block of South Hemberger Street for reported gunshots, but only found ballistics evidence, damage to a doorframe of a home and two vehicles on the block, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A red 1995 Ford and a silver Suzuki were hit on the rear of the passenger’s-side. The first armed man was described as black with a light complexion, 5-foot-7, thin and wearing a gray hoody and blue jeans while the second was described as wearing a green hoody. A third man wearing a black hoody was seen with the duo, but it is not known if he was armed. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

A Southwest woman allegedly assaulted her ex’s new girl with her car outside a Pennsport kids’ play center. Nydesha Brown is believed to have followed a 23-year-old, who is now dating her ex-boyfriend, from Chuck E. Cheese, 9 Snyder Ave., and punched her at 9:30 p.m. March 19, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After a brief fight, the 23-year-old walked to her car with a 23- and 43-year-old woman, as well as a 3- and 5-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy. As she drove out of the parking lot, Brown allegedly smashed her 2001 Buick, which also contained three small children, into the rear of the woman’s vehicle damaging the bumper, taillight and quarter panel. Brown’s auto received a lot of front-end damage. Video surveillance captured the crash. Brown was charged with six counts of aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal mischief, possession of an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person as well as one count of endangering the welfare of a child.

No soiling this soil

By Joseph Myers

R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

n French author Voltaire’s novella “Candide,” the title character uses the metaphor “We must cultivate our garden” to encourage his friends to balance life’s fortunes with its ills. For the last 12 years, Tracy Levesque has tended to a literal area, serving as “the unofficial mayor” of the Bodine Street Community Garden, 914 S. Bodine St. Her diligence and that of other Queen Village residents has won multiple honors, culminating in a national nod with their space’s inclusion in this month’s issue of Martha Stewart Living. Levesque united with her horticultural helpers Sunday to clean up their space, which in August became an obsession for the magazine’s film crew. “I received an e-mail from a representative and thought it was spam,” she said of learning last spring the publication, which discovered the green space via its website, http://bodinestreetgarden.org, craved a profile of the three-lot-long stretch for its gardening issue. A genuine request, the outreach floored Levesque, who, as an active voice for the garden since it faced destruction in 2003, scored her neighbors’ support. The team for the 20-year-old monthly visited Aug. 14 to 15, a time when the 12-plot garden is, according to Levesque, typically “buggy, weedy and dead,” but precautions kept it stellar for a weekend of footage and photos. Replete with flowers and vegetables from April through much of August, the garden hosts quaint block parties, but the visitors inspired a lavish gathering. Despite the tinkering, the participants enjoyed their own recipes, with Levesque preparing grilled clams and Mia, her wife of seven years, offering vegetable lasagna for the potluck party. Children made an heirloom tomato and herb salad, and a cupcake sunflower sated desires for dessert. The issue, featuring a seven-page spread, hit stands last month and has generated further renown for what Levesque terms a “laid back garden.” “We had a woman from South Carolina send us heirloom bean seeds for the kids,” she said of being able to encourage the gardening bug among her daughter Josephine, 4, and the other budding growers. The exposure gives the space yet another plaudit. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society named the 31-year-old tract the top vegetable garden in its ’08 and ’09 City Gardens contests.

Once endangered, a Queen Village garden recently appeared in a nationally-renowned magazine. “We all really love this garden,” Levesque said of plans to improve its infrastructure, which includes a new gate featuring a planting guide, a fence, a water system and a path courtesy of a grant from the Neighborhood Gardens Association. “It’s a great way to protect urban green space and to get to know our neighbors.” THE SPACE USED to be a prime spot for dumping debris and served as a shortcut for muggers’ escapes during Queen Village’s crime-filled 1970s identity. Philadelphia Green, a PHS program devoted to urban renewal, made residents’ dreams for improved aesthetics realities by donating fencing, seeds and topsoil, birthing the garden in June ’80. Locals acquired free lots over the next few years, and the space came to merit respect. As it neared its 20th year, the area needed more direction, finding it in Levesque, a Bucks County native whose mother’s gardening background incited her desire to deal with dirt. She could not, however, foresee dealing

with a dirt bag. In 2003, the previous owner put the space up for sale, a move Levesque feels Queen Village’s rising property values inspired. With the 3,000-square-foot paradise in jeopardy, the “Save the Bodine Community Garden” campaign, complete with a website that Levesque and her wife crafted, fought back. The residents’ activism, which involved hiring a lawyer, meeting with developers and reaching out to the Neighborhood Gardens Association, won the attention of 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco. The South Philadelphian used community development money to buy the land in ’07. The Neighborhood Gardens Association received the territory as a donation soon after, making it one of its nine local points. “We’ve enjoyed our most productive period since NGA became the owner,” Levesque said of knowing the expanse is preserved and being able to plot its future. That new stage commenced Sunday. Levesque likes to hold three cleanups each year and saw the three-hour session as a

chance to inspire many of the 20 gardeners for the planting season, which begins in earnest in only a few days. Entering the garden, one can immediately marvel at local artist Isaiah Zagar’s mosaic tile mural “The Garden Goddesses,” a May ’00 work that dominates the left-side wall. Four others adorn the right-hand partition, with one situated just above a garlic plant Levesque sowed last fall. The day’s primary task called for her and her cronies to move the raspberry and strawberry lots to make room for two new spots. Working on revitalizing the kids’ plot also made Levesque eager to soil her gloves. “Slugs have had their way with the original,” she said as helpers Kira Merdiushev and Alison McCook added compost to the L-shaped section. Not aspiring to be capitalists, the gardeners do not market their yield, preferring to give surplus items to one another. Collard greens, heirloom tomatoes, lettuce, kale and spinach delight taste buds, but they are not the only pleasure-inspiring items, as daffodils, tiger lilies and bearded and Siberian irises enchant noses. As the afternoon sun attempted to up the temperature, it became apparent why the garden has a waiting list of 17 people, as eager hands joined the trio of ladies. Merdiushev, a resident of the 200 block of Carpenter Street, diligently addressed the soil. Her mother Barbara was a member of the Queen Village Neighbors Association, which assists the garden, in the space’s infancy when neighbors needed coaxing to contribute. “It’s not that way anymore,” Merdiushev said. New to planting, McCook, who like Levesque lives on the block, used a Garden Weasel to loosen the soil. “I am looking forward to trying to grow herbs,” the novice said. “We’ll see how good nature is to me.” A 1998 BioScience article predicted that 80 percent of the United States’ residents will live in urban areas by 2025. With such a majority, spaces like the garden will become even more vital. “We’re just trying to give back to a great friend,” Levesque said. “It has given us a deeper communal identity. The least we can do is to let it thrive.” SPR For images from the photo shoot, visit http://bodinestreetgarden.org/tag/marthastewart-living/

KEEPING THE AVENUE clean has been tough, East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District executive director Renee Gilinger said. “Litter still remains on the ground and unfortunately, a little bit becomes a lot really quickly,” she said noting the corporation’s cleaning program is not something the district, which is partially funding the project, could have implemented on its own. The debt- and litigation-free organization also launched a greening initiative with Fishtown-based Garden Hangouts that planted 17 trees along the avenue. The corporation has vowed to match up to $2,500 for the district in addition to three area civics — East Passyunk Cross-

ing, Lower Moyamensing and Passyunk Square — that have raised or are raising funds for community greening. Within the last few weeks, the corporation’s outstanding vacant properties have been or are in the process of being filled. The group is wrapping up renovations of 1737 E. Passyunk, a three-story property, which will serve as a business space for Fabric Horse, an urban accessory shop based in Northern Liberties, with apartments on the two upper floors, Gilinger said noting a tentative April move-in date. A business tenant also is in the works for 1838, but no lease has been signed yet. With its relaunch, Sherman is focused on the future of avenue, which he deemed a neighborhood and city asset. “We will work in conjunction [with the district] to make sure that the interests of the surrounding residents are served and that we make the avenue as successful for all the businesses that are located here and the residents that live here,” Sherman said.

ometimes opportunities are once-in-a-lifetime. Rocco Amato, from Broad and Wolf streets, decided his window of opportunity wasn’t fully closed. “I fell into the acting thing. I just enjoy it so much and I was on the road until the very early ’90s doing theater. And my family was getting larger,” Amato, 64, said. “I was sitting on New Year’s Eve in a theater in Ohio on the phone with my family to wish them a happy New Year. This was not the life for me. “I got my kids and I want to see them. I want to enjoy them while they’re growing up. So I quit.

continued from page 14 his five children, Rocco’s wife, JoAnne, passed away. “My youngest daughter, who was a professional actress, said, ‘Why don’t you get back to theater?’ My children are very supportive. They said get up and go do something,” he said. In the wake of his grief, Amato began to look for auditions. He came across a listing in The Philadelphia Alliance for older actors and went out to read for the part. He was later cast as Jerry in the Society Hill Playhouse’s production of “The Men of Mah Jongg,” which can currently be seen at the theater through April 17. “[Deen Kogan] did a fantastic job casting this. Everyone in the play, a part of them is in the play. Something in that play has happened to us in reality,” Amato said of the four-man piece that features three Jewish friends trying to bring back to life a fourth pal who recently lost his wife. “Even though I am Italian and not Jewish, we have so much in common as a group. We’ve been through the same things, experienced the same type of losses, spent our youth hang-

ing on the corner. It’s really nice. It’s an enjoyable cast and they’re very good at what they do.” Jerry Rosenthal, Rocco’s persona, is a free spirit who continues to entertain aspirations of becoming a singer, despite his increasing age and decreasing ability to hear. He also dates a 20-year-old suspected hooker. “I was a singer, professional vocalist. I still do a little cabaret work but not all that much,” Amato said. “I’m a happy-golucky guy. It’s just unbelievable how close to the character I am.” AMATO WAS BORN and raised on 16th and Latona streets, where he attended the nowdefunct St. Reed and currently co-ed St. John Neumann schools. Upon graduation, he did “what all kids in the ’60s and ’50s did: Formed a doo-wop group and sang on the corner and at parties,” he said. “I’ve always been an actor, always done some form of entertainment. When you live in South Philadelphia and you’re young and Italian, you’re expected to sing.” Holding various jobs, including time in the service, Amato eventually learned a trade as a mechanical design draftsman. “I helped design and build and modify

heavy machinery. I worked in the nuclear industry for a while,” Amato, who learned everything on-the-job, said. “I went to work for the Westinghouse Electric Corp. when I was 20 years old. I was trained and learned how to be a draftsmen. Now you go to school for it.” But the performing beckoned and eventually Amato found himself in regional theater and traveling extensively with the productions. He also was involved with lucrative voice work. “I got a job as a television spokesman for Mr. Goodbyes. I did over 300 commercials,” he said. By the time he felt himself miles away from family on the New Year’s holiday, Amato had racked up a large list of places he’d visited. Throwing in the towel seemed like the natural decision, and Amato returned to the area to spend time with his family. With the death of his wife and his children grown and starting families of their own, Amato has found a new dedication to his craft. “I’m very glad [to be back in theater]. It’s just a great thing. Otherwise I’d be sitting here twiddling my thumbs feeling sorry for myself and that’s no way to live,” Amato said.

Instead, the performer takes the stage nightly and has further projects lined up down the road. Family is still an important part of the equation though. “My son and his fiancée came, my oldest son and his wife, my daughter and grandson and my other two girls are coming on the third,” Amato said of his children seeing the current production. “They all come to see everything I do. They are very supportive.” Performing in an older-skewing play is the perfect fit for Amato as he begins the second leg of his acting journey. The thespian said audiences love the first-time Philadelphia production and his greatest joy is “just making people happy.” “Until I drop dead I’m never going to stop doing this again … I tend to enjoy doing what I always loved and my wife always loved it, also. She was a dance teacher for 20 years,” he said. “I just do it ’cause it’s a passion. It’s an obsession. I could be feeling terrible. I could be sick. Soon as I get to stage, there is nothing that bothers me. “Soon as I hit the stage, I’m perfect.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

An exceptional column

Christina Warren (Michelle Monaghan) offers information to Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) who has woken up in the body of an unknown man.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

“G

roundhog Day” meets “Speed” and “Murder on the Orient Express” in “Source Code,” a heady sci-tech thriller about a military pilot (Jake Gyllenhaal) who’s forced, via an experimental, physics-defying government program, to continually enter the body of a deceased train passenger until he can find out who bombed the Chicago-bound locomotive. That description alone should illuminate the suspension of disbelief required by the film, the first from screenwriter Ben Ripley and the second from “Moon” writer/director Duncan Jones. It’s easy (and fun) to step aboard and take the leap, but the more one mulls over the movie’s increasingly twisty ideas, the less capable it seems of supporting them. Thus, “Source Code” doesn’t exactly dazzle in retrospect, but its in-the-moment (and in-the-moment again) excitement is rarely less than considerable. One would think Jones’ move from the personal to the commercial would result in a career blemish, but, quite the contrary, his rangeexpanding efforts here exhibit a canny ability to punch up the work of another. Ripley’s lapses in logic and occasionally embryonic ambitions are often hidden by Jones’ keen sense of pacing, his adeptness at blending humor with suspense, his continued emphasis of potent themes like Big Brother oppression, and his splendid affinity for clunky, vintage sci-fi (certain sets are straight out of an early Ridley Scott flick). He’s got a peach of a cast to play out his vision, with Vera Farmiga, Jeffrey Wright and Michelle Monaghan filling the supporting roles. Farmiga and Mon-

aghan both make the most of what little they have to work with, and, as a shifty mastermind, Wright has never offered a more delicious utilization of his madly articulate, better-than-Alan-Rickman voice. But the contribution that lingers most is that of Gyllenhaal, who alternately stocks the film with energy, charm and pathos. If anyone needed proof that this guy’s a true movie star, they’ve got it. Indeed, “Source Code” is better than most of what’s out at the multiplex. It’s just better still if you leave the deep cerebral diving to the action hero.

Source Code PG-13 Three reels out of four Opens tomorrow in area theaters

Recommended Rental I Love You Philip Morris R Available Tuesday Lead star Jim Carrey does some of his most memorable work in this outrageous true story of gay convicted conman Steven Russell, but even better is Ewan McGregor as Russell’s starry-eyed, titular cell-block lover. Together, the actors run with the movie’s unabashed humor, and lighten the growing load of its “Catch Me If You Can” redundancy.

can understand why we want to get rid of the crazy man in Libya. Nobody can agree on how to spell his name. Not The New York Times. Not The Washington Post. Not The Boston Globe. It would be so much easier if they had a John Adams in Libya that was ready to take charge and hold free elections. Think how much easier it would make life for proofreaders everywhere. I will refrain from using the name of the dictator of Libya in this column, if only because of indecision. Why can’t the Middle East be more like America? Isn’t that similar to a song from “My Fair Lady” sung by Rex Harrison? Has the rest of the world not heard of American “exceptionalism”? Exceptionalism is a code word for superiority. Many countries through history have declared themselves “exceptional.” Germany does it every so often and then declares war on the rest of us to prove it. We Americans truly believe we are exceptional. Our politicians fight over which one thinks we are more exceptional. At this moment, Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin have staked their entire political careers on the belief we are exceptional. The evidence isn’t empirical; it is a question of faith. Texans believe Texas is even more exceptional than the rest of the nation. I spent a little time in Texas and found the only thing exceptional about Texans is how exceptional they think they are. Texans are not the only ones to believe exceptionalism begins at home. The Irish believe they are exceptional, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. The best example of that is the buttons that read, “Kiss Me, I’m Irish.” I love the Irish, particularly Maureen O’Hara, but I have never found ethnicity to be a good enough reason to kiss someone. My own Italian ethnic group also believes we are exceptional. One of them sent me a video called “The Whole World Loves Italians.” How can the whole world love us when even Italians don’t love all Italians? My Uncle Nunzi hasn’t spoken to his brother Vincenzo for 63 years, and neither one remembers why he is angry. Maybe each one thinks he is more exceptional than the other. Only African-Americans and Jews are realistic about this love business. You can’t find an African-American or a Jew who believes the world loves them and they have the historical evidence to prove it. Nevertheless, all of our presidents since Ronald Reagan have expressed the be-

lief that we, above all nations, are truly exceptional. As Reagan used to say, it is “morning in America.” My wife occasionally makes eggs for dinner, proving that she too believes that it is always morning in America. Each of our presidents since Reagan have ended every address to the nation by asking that “God bless America,” as if the creator had any other choice. I do think under current circumstances, we could ask God to bless Japan just once, and maybe toss in Haiti too. If we are truly exceptional in America, why is it that we have to bomb some countries in order for them to realize it? I would love to administer a word-association test among the populations of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya to ask what one word best describes America. Do you think that word would be “exceptional”? We are in the midst of tightening budgets all over America at every level because we are in a deep budget hole. The last figure that I saw estimated that we are spending about $100 million a day to protect Libyan rebels from their dictator. Does that make us exceptional or as crazy as the guy who we are trying to depose? The Obama administration can’t even agree on whether our goal is to depose of the Libyan dictator or to just scare him into not killing the rebels who are diligently trying to kill him. Isn’t the aim of a civil war two sides trying to kill each other until one decides to give up? I believe that even Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis would have agreed. I have never considered myself in any way exceptional (unless it is my ability to continue to fool the editor into printing this column every week and paying me for it). Dictators and monarchies have always believed in their own exceptionalism. Every time Henry VIII got rid of a wife in search of a male heir, it was because he thought his heir would be exceptional. Iran and North Korea want a nuclear arsenal because they believe that they too are exceptional and deserve to belong to the nuclear club. The irony is that the crazy Libyan dictator gave up his nuclear ambitions to assuage us, only to have us now raining bombs down on his command tent. What lesson do you think that Iran and North Korea take from that? I want to believe that we in America are exceptional, but I just wish it would show in our life expectancy. We are currently ranked 47th in the world in life expectancy. Even Bosnia is several notches ahead of us, which I find amazing since it wasn’t long ago that we had to save them from genocide. We are 37th in overall health care among World Health Organization nations, lagging way behind Morocco (and think of the all the smoking they did in “Casablanca”). It is estimated that more than 46 million Americans don’t have health insurance. Nothing exceptional about that. SPR

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I march 31, 2011

Metals represent more than just valuable natural resources: they are symbols of milestone achievements in the lifetimes of individuals and groups. There’s platinum for high record sales, gold to plate the Oscar Statuettes at the annual Academy Awards – silver for the celebration of 25 year anniversaries. For Penns Landing Caterers, 1301 S. Columbus Blvd., appropriately located in the Sheet Metal Workers’ Local Union 19 building, their silver anniversary means 25 years of family-oriented, dedicated service to the business of hosting exceptional events. First opened in 1986, the catering company began as a kitchen and meeting hall built for (and by) members of the union. Eventually, the site transformed into a full-service catering business. It has become a place where memories are made, as 25 years’ worth of weddings, bar mitzvahs, church anniversaries and political functions have passed through the wide, welcoming doors. “It’s a good, central location. And it’s easy access, right off of I-95,” said Stephen Dougherty, Director of Catering. Dougherty, who graduated with honors from the Restaurant School the same year Penns Landing Caterers opened, is a chef with experience working with some of the biggest names in the motion picture industry. “The city just put a public park on the pier,” added Dougherty. “They’ve spent a lot of money over there, and they’ve put paths, benches, shrubs, flowers.” Dougherty went on to explain that the transformed location has become a favorite choice for bridal parties wishing to take scenic photographs. Tucked away behind an enclosure of trees, a generous expanse of stairs leads into the Penns Landing Caterers lobby. The foyer doubles as a location for cocktail hours, while VIP guests and bridal parties can look down on the fun from a private room upstairs. In the corner, a large, working gin still blushes copper in the sweep of light coming in through the glass doors, and provides the perfect conversation piece for guests as they pass through to the larger hall beyond. The main hall shows off the workmanship the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union put into the building, with its unique ceiling and walls of brightly-burnished, pleated metal surfaces. The area can seat anywhere from 500 to 600 guests, while standingroom-only fits between 800 and 1200. A T-shaped dance floor stretches across the carpet, just in front of the stage. With the inclusion of an AV package, a big screen can be lowered down before the platform, with rear projection, a PA system and wireless microphones. A variety of seating arrangements transforms the look of the space: from banquet hall for weddings, to classroom-style seating for corporate events. A popular choice is the station menu, for which stations with different culinary spins – Asian, Italian, vegetarian – are spaced around the room, thereby encouraging guests to get up from their tables and mix and mingle. In addition, a full, on-site kitchen staff ensures that all food is cooked on-premises. The convenience of location, combined with the friendly efficiency of the staff, has helped the Caterers obtain a number of repeat customers. It is a frequent site for South Philadelphia church anniversaries, including St. Augustine, Shiloh Baptist and St. Agnes. Other regular patrons include local schools, like Ss. John Neumann and Maria Goretti High School, Mummers clubs, and Jefferson and Methodist hospitals. Members at Local 19, who receive discounts on events, frequently use the site for family occasions and holiday parties. Of course, union members are not the only customers to receive benefits: old clients often have the option to use the AV package free of charge, while on-site parking – over 700 spaces – is free for everyone. Clients of Penns Landing Caterers have returned this regard time and again, flooding the site with letters of appreciation. “You made the planning stages easy, executed the plan perfectly, and kept me calm all the while,” wrote Ronnie Barlow, on behalf of the Seamen’s Church Institute Board of Directors. “We usually get good feedback, especially from the weddings,” Dougherty explained. Donna Kolifrath, who started her career with the Caterers as a waitress and is now Director of Sales, works with clients from the time they schedule to the day of the event. A crew sets up the room the day before, while clients are free to add a touch of personal creativity by having their own decorations put in. The wait staff, comprised entirely of union members, is full of familiar faces, as some of them have been with the Caterers since it began. Perhaps the skill and straightforwardness of the staff explains the draw for big clients like the Democratic City Committee, which uses the space twice a year for its Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. Guests can tread the same carpets that have felt the footsteps of Bernie Parent, Vince Papale, Kevin Bacon, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, to name just a few. Penns Landing Caterers offers an array of packages, with food, linens and gratuity included. Cost is calculated in terms of price per head. All bars are portable and stocked with top-shelf liquor and bottled beers supplied through Bell Beverage. Above all, guests never go hungry: cocktail hours include unlimited hors d’oeuvres, and entrées always come in succulently satisfying portions. While photography and entertainment are not included, Kolifrath and Dougherty are always happy to offer clients a list of trusted contacts.

very so often the craving for chocolate hits. You know, the tube is on and a fountain of chocolate is streaming down a mountain landing on strawberries. Most of the time you’re left relieving that desire with a chocolate bar or a scoop of ice cream. If you had options on how to get your sweet-tooth fix, how would you go about it? How does Heidi Alexander’s Chocolate Bliss Cake sound? The resident of the 100 block of Tree Street has yielded to everyone’s chocolaty desires creating a simple, yet mouthwatering dessert that only requires seven ingredients. SPR

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

= Average

= Very Good

= Exceptional

The Corner By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

uesday is usually a good night to dine out. Many restaurants are closed on Monday and fresh provisions arrive the next day. Two weeks ago, Brice, my philosopher friend, and I met at The Corner, the latest entry on South 13th Street’s restaurant row, which was formerly APO. Unfortunately, Chef John Taus was hosting a special dinner. I opted to dine alone a week later. I enjoyed my meal so much that I called Brice and asked him to meet me for an early dinner the following Saturday. The bill of fare is still evolving under the capable hands of Taus, who presents American comfort dishes made with fresh, top-quality ingredients at moderate prices. No dish is more than $15. I elected to dine at the marble-topped bar, sip a perfect Rob Roy ($13) and watch Taus and his sous chef prepare everything from pork belly sliders ($8) to chicken pot pie ($12). The aforementioned sliders are just $5 during the 5 to 7 p.m. happy hour. The pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender, topped with house-made sauerkraut and coarse Dijon mustard. I loved how the pork was crisped before it was placed on small, buttery not-at-all sweet briochetype buns, which were seared on the grill. Taus put a smoked trout salad ($11) on the menu. The mix of creamy trout was placed in the center of the plate and imparted just the right hint of smoke. It was Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

topped with a mound of frisee and tossed in a sherry vinaigrette. It was filleted perfectly — I found not one small bone. “You’re the first to try it,” he said with a smile as I cleaned my plate. Taus’s version of pot pie was topped with his signature homemade biscuit dough which he rolls out and keeps cool in the fridge. The creamy filling was made with breast and thigh meat, fresh peas and carrots. The mixture is placed in a small cast-iron skillet, topped with the crust and baked to a golden brown. I also enjoyed a heaping side of roasted Brussels sprouts with bits of slab bacon ($6) and a hot cup of Mighty Leaf Earl Gray tea ($3). By 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday, every table was filled. With the room lit, the music at the right decibel level and the acoustics so fine, Brice and I could actually enjoy our conversation. “These are from the chef,” our server said as she placed two pierogies that Taus lovingly made by hand following his grandmother’s recipe on the table. The Polish versions of the Kreplach were filled with silky potatoes, cheese and caramelized onions, and sat on a pool of cream laced with chives. Taus makes two-bite biscuits and serves them with little balls of slightly salted butter. Brice and I ordered masa tots ($8) and sweetbreads ($10) as starters. Masa is a corn flour which was blended with jalapeno peppers and cilantro, rolled into bite-size ovals and fried. I found them

The Corner, a new addition to South 13th, is under the direction of chef John Taus and his take on unique comfort food. P h o t o b y R o b To r n e y

a bit dense but Brice pronounced them just fine. The sweetbreads were a take on chicken nuggets. They were creamy inside and slightly crisp outside and came with tasty dipping sauces. Next up was a duck pastrami sandwich ($14) and the Corner cheeseburger ($12). I felt the duck lacked the smoky flavor I hunger for in delicatessens. It was sliced a little thick and topped with sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing and was wedged between two slices of square rye bread. The homemade potato chips required a sprinkling of salt. The burger was divine. It was seared on the outside and medium rare as ordered. We dove into a mound of hot hand-cut fries. A side of coleslaw ($4) was sweet to my taste as were the halfdone pickles. We shared the cream cheese mousse

that was nestled in a crisp coconut tuille. I broke a piece off then ladled my spoon into the creamy mousse. The Corner will continue to pique my curiosity because Taus will add dishes as the menu evolves from season to season, or even week to week. I wish the restaurant would open for lunch. Three tips of the toque to The Corner. SPR

T h e To q u e S t o p s H e r e

April Fool’s Day usually consists of cracking jokes and pulling pranks. Take a serious approach by inviting over friends and whipping up a British treat with a fitting name. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

omorrow is April 1 — April Fool’s Day. My friend Krista will celebrate her birthday and although I would love to pull a prank on her, I dare not. Maybe I will scout out a gag gift but definitely not something perceived to be insulting. A number of famous people were born on April 1 including Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a French attorney who is known for his masterpiece “The Physiology of Taste.” He entered the world in 1755 and is considered to be a gastronome of the highest order. The list of Brillat-Savarin’s culinary quotations is quite long, but two of them instantly pop into my mind: “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.” “The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity than the discovery of a new star.” Brillat-Savarin’s strong penchant for fine French food and wine has little to do with April Fool’s Day. A fool, by the way, is an old-fashion British dessert made with a slightly sweetened puree of fresh fruit that is folded into whipped cream and chilled. I started to think of recipes which would

fool people into eating a specific dish when, in fact, it is a mock version of the recipe. Take chopped liver, for instance. Jews dive into this appetizer twice a year — during Rosh Hashana and Passover. I make it with rendered schmaltz, tasty old-fashioned chicken fat. There is a vegetarian version which looks like chopped liver and, in a funny way, even tastes like chopped liver. There are a number of recipes for mock chopped liver floating around the Internet. A number of Jewish cookbooks and synagogue sisterhood cookbooks offer the how-to when it is time to get the food processor ready or bring out your grandmother’s wooden chopping bowl to make vegetarian chopped liver. Two ingredients are a must. The recipes contain chopped hard-boiled eggs and walnuts. Some people use lentils, green beans or peas along with the above. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper give the dish flavor. A bit of vegetable oil, such as Canola, keeps this appetizer moist and tasty. Although I have eaten fake meat and poultry made from tofu or grains, I would not attempt these dishes at home. I don’t know why. I’ve tried them in vegetarian restaurants but I guess dinner guests might think it a bit weird.

■ Mango Fool ■

From “The New All Purpose Joy of Cooking” by Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer and Ethan Becker Ingredients:

3 ripe mangos, peeled and cut into large chunks 2/3 to 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, depending upon the sweetness of the fruit 2 tablespoons of lime juice 1 tablespoon of orange juice 1-1/4 cup of cold heavy cream

Directions: Place the mango chunks in a food processor or blender. Puree the mangos. Blend in the sugar, lime and orange juices. Place in a bowl and chill overnight. When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the mango puree and cream together. (You can blend them thoroughly or leave streaks of gold through the cream.) Pile into chilled stemmed glasses and serve at once. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: You can garnish the fools with sprigs of fresh mint.

■ Vegetarian Chopped Liver ■ Ingredients:

1 pound of green beans

1 large onion, ﬁnely chopped 1/4 cup of Canola oil 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, cut into chunks 5 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and roughly chopped 1 cup of chopped walnuts Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 10 minutes. Drain and refresh into cold water. Drain well. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and sauté the onion until golden brown, for about five minutes. Place the green beans in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse on and off a few times for a rough chop. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse on and off for a rough chop. Blend and pulse on and off a few times for desired consistency. Taste and correct for seasoning. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: This appetizer can be served on a leaf of lettuce or radicchio, as well as a spread for crackers, bread or matzo.

also became the first team to repeat as AAA state champions since Beaver Falls’ Blackhawk High School did so in 1996. With only Fulton and fellow senior Jordan Johnson departing, Arrigale will not have to hear naysayers’ predictions for a down year, prognostications his boys endured this campaign. Not a part of last year’s success, Newton grew tired of hearing his initial season would likely produce more frustration than fascination. “At first, I hadn’t expected such a successful year,” the skilled ball handler said. One could say that advice Arrigale gave him at halftime of the title game served as an apt motto for the whole team’s season. “Coach told me to be more aggressive,” Newton said of his 13-point second-half effort. “This year, we had to overcome losing four guys, but we believed in our defense and got the job done.” Davis, of the 400 block of Washington Avenue, never doubted his squad’s chances. “We wanted to prove everybody wrong,” he said. This summer, he will look to build his perimeter game to ward off any thoughts that limiting his interior moves will diminish his contributions. “I expect to do what we did this year for the next two years,” Davis said. “When we were down, I thought this is our year, we are supposed to win this,” Stewart, who noted his confidence grew as the season progressed, said of overcoming

the title game’s mini deficits. He feels his willingness to battle down low will enhance his play next year. “You have to be a man about stepping up,” the Upper Darby resident said. This year, Fulton was the man. Bound for St. Peter’s College in New Jersey, the resident of the 1300 block of South 29th Street led the team in scoring and believing. “The only people who knew we would be this good were those in our locker room,” he said. “Coach preached defense and we used that to key our offense. We bonded and defied expectations.” “Lamin is an extension of our coaching staff,” Arrigale said of the floor general. “He helped our young guys to believe in themselves.” The 13th-year coach noted his team immediately took to the underdog role and transformed it into the more customary favorite designation as the year advanced. He sees as their turning point a Jan. 27 to 29 trip to Florida during which his players captured two close wins after suffering a 20-point loss at the Montverde Academy Tournament. With their return, they played more freely and competently. “It was a fun year,” he said. “People had expected a drop off but not us. We never backed down.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

BACK AT SCHOOL, the decorated players united Tuesday to honor a season that saw them finish undefeated in league play (160) for a third-straight season. They set a record for most consecutive league victories with their 50th on Feb. 11 and will enter next fall with 54 straight triumphs against Catholic League adversaries. They

e have a philosophy. If you’re in it, you might as well win it,” coach Carl Arrigale said Tuesday at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. The latest “it” for his Saints was the PIAA Class AAA State Basketball Championship and win it they did, notching a 5545 victory over Montour High School at Penn State University’s Bryce Jordan Center. The Friday triumph gives the Passyunk Square ballers their second-straight sweep of the Catholic League, District 12 City and state crowns. Having lost four starters to graduation from last year’s 30-1 unit, Arrigale relied on his lone holdover, senior guard Lamin Fulton, to lead a previously unheralded bunch of hoopsters. The Saints began the year 4-3 but finished 23-1 to give their fans even more thrills. The culmination of the latest title run came on the same floor where they eked out a 65-63 win over Chartiers Valley in last year’s championship. For much of the first three quarters, this year’s rendition looked as if it would mimic its predecessor’s nail-biting status. The Saints entered the game having topped four teams at four different locations over a 12-day stretch. As District 12’s No. 1seed, they faced District 7’s top seed, Allegheny County’s Montour Spartans, with a chance to give the Catholic League its third-straight victor in the 32-team field. The opposition had other ideas, grabbing a 12-9 lead after the first quarter. The Saints, winners of their previous state matchups by an average of 24 points, won the second session 15-9 to build a 24-21 halftime advantage. While the Spartans seemed up to the task of ending the defending champions’ 16-game winning streak and thwarting history, freshman guard Ja’Quan Newton restored his gang’s momentum towards the end of the third frame. The Southwest Philadelphia resident instigated a flurry that included a 15-0 run between that point and half of the fourth quarter, taking his mates from down

34-33 to up 48-34. Newton scored a team-high 17 points and collected eight rebounds. Junior forward Derrick Stewart, whose brother Danny started for last year’s state conquerors, continued his late-season dominance by dropping 14 points and snaring 10 rebounds. Expected to be Arrigale’s horse next year, he also blocked two shots and made two steals. Sophomore forward John Davis, his frontline partner, deposited 12 points and ripped seven rebounds. The left-hander led the Saints with 16 points in their March 11 62-34 first-round win against AnnvilleCleona High School. Junior guard Billy Shank, who went for 44 points combined in March 18’s 57-30 quarterfinal win against Octorara High School and March 22’s 82-75 semifinal victory over Lancaster Catholic High School, added five points, with three coming on one of his squad’s three triples. Fulton, the Catholic League’s co-MVP, capped his distinguished career by scoring seven points, dishing out two assists and earning five steals. When he left the game with only a few seconds remaining, he and Arrigale hugged, a fitting end to a fruitful partnership. The familiar sound of Queen’s “We Are the Champions” honored the Saints as they celebrated duplicating last year’s hat trick of crowns, which made them the first Catholic League and District 12 athletes to hold three championships simultaneously. Arrigale, now the holder of seven league titles, three City championships and two state crowns, beamed as the players congregated. The slick haired leader distributed medals to the ecstatic victors, offering gratitude for their contributions with each golden token’s placement.

O Star of the Sea, help me and show me here You are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor my necessity (Make Request). There are none that can withstand your power.

I want to be with you and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. AMEN. In Jesus Christ, your Son’s name, I ask that you grant me (State your speecific request or intention here!) B.K.
