Civic (EPX) Association’s Italian Red Gravy Cook-Off has got to be one of the most bang-for-your-buck fundraisers in South Philly. And true to neighborhood roots, too, the fundraiser took place on Sunday afternoon – Sunday gravy time. Perhaps several decades ago, walking from a cafÊ on East Passyunk Avenue to the Catholic high school’s cafeteria, one would’ve smelled garlic sizzling, tomatoes simmering, and proteins browning wafting from

any number of South Philly homes. The neighborhood’s a little less uniformly Italian now, but that doesn’t negate the delicious history that endures. Association events chair Leon Malloy, who lives on the northeastern edge of the civic’s boundaries (Sixth to Broad streets and Tasker Street to Snyder Avenue) at Sixth and Morris streets, told SPR that when he moved to his block nearly six years ago, he got his first introduction to “gravy.�

“My next-door neighbor was a very old Italian lady that lived with her mother. She said ‘So nice to have you in the neighborhood – we’ll have to have you over for some gravy,’� he remembers. Turkey and stuffing came to mind, he imagined brown gravies in boats, but it dawned on him in time: “I had no idea what gravy was and living in South Philadelphia, you have to know what it is.

nthony Palumbo can credit genetics and benevolence for helping him to display his talent as an illustrator and gallery artist. Particularly potent when painting people, noting he loves doing so with such care that “the viewers who see it are themselves excited to be alive and to be a person,� the 35-year-old has accumulated an impressive list of genrespecific acknowledgments but certainly does not think himself above adding a skill to his repertoire. Kindness and consideration have engendered a brush with novelty for the proficient producer, who handled scenic painting and set design duties for Quince Productions’ staging of “Rodeo.�

“My normal work is just me and [girlfriend] Winona [Nelson] in the studio independently doing our illustrations and sending them off to our clients who mostly are based on the West Coast,� the Passyunk Square dweller said from Venice, where he and his partner are spending the month, of an immediate distinction between his customary calling and latest endeavor. “Theater work is so personal, and in that way was the exact opposite environment of my illustration work, which is arranged entirely by email communication.� The exposure to more interactive employment came courtesy of Rich Rubin, Quince’s producing artistic director. A

collector of work by Palumbo through the creator’s Artists’ House Gallery projects, he approached the figure to see if he would enliven what had already promised to be an entertaining Walnut Street Theatre Studio 5-situated offering. With Rubin’s consistent support of his output, Palumbo could not refuse the commission and set out to make the set serve as an homage to some of his favorite European comic book artists. “I did have one night of apprehension about half way into it, after I had been to some production meetings, met some of the other cast and crew and was fully committed to it,� the hire said, adding that the constituents were about

When I heard Donald Trump would be appearing with Chris Matthews on MSNBC in a Town Hall setting, I told my wife he’ll be sorry. And then I made sure I was home to watch the event unfold live on TV. Matthews is the toughest in-your-face interviewer since the halcyon days of Mike Wallace.

Restaurant: Los Gallos There are more than a dozen taquerias in South Philly serving affordable and authentic Mexican food. On the whole, they’re casual spots with fluorescent lighting and BYO policies. Table turnover is fast, and service is faster.

How will the Flyers fare in the playoffs particularly since they are mourning the loss of founder Ed Snider? Interviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau

“With their recent run, they have a great chance this year. They should see his death as a way not to get weaker but to grow stronger as a team.� Shawn Wheeler, 2300 block of Watkins Street

“They’ve been impressive lately, and I think they should use his death as motivation and keep pushing forward to bring the Stanley Cup home.� Jason Christ, 2000 block of Jackson Street

“Maybe his death will be an incentive to come out and play harder. I’m a bit idealistic and hope they pull it off for his memory. It’s a long road, but they can do it.� Eric Desiderio, 1900 block of South Iseminger Street

t approximately 2:44 a.m., police responded to a radio call for a cargo theft at the E. Frank Hopkins Seafood Market, 3120 S. Third St. Meeting with a worker who had arrived an hour earlier, they learned he had opened the bay doors and discovered one of the freezer trailers unlocked, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant told authorities he believes the offender(s) gained access to the space from inside of the facility. The site supervisor determined that the amount of stolen seafood, comprised of various snow crabs and lobster tails, totals more than $18,000. As of press time, police had no leads.

/\ W\b]fWQObW\U ]QQOaW]\ Police detained a Warminster man for supposedly becoming aggressive following his ejection from a bar. Authorities responded to a person-with-a-weapon call on the 200 block of South Street at 1:14 a.m. Sunday and met with a bouncer from Paddy Whack’s Pub, 150 South St., on the 100 block of Naudain Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They learned from him that he had to kick a patron out approximately 20 minutes prior to the placement of the call and added that once the excused guest left, he stood in front of the bar for a few minutes before throwing a bottle through the window, with the object breaking the window pane and striking someone in the forehead. The worker added that the figure tried to flee by running but that patrons and other employees caught and detained him until authorities arrived. They arrested Jonathan Wood and charged the 23-year-old with possession of an instrument of crime, criminal mischief, recklessly endangering another person, and aggravated and simple assault.

0WYS aca^SQb PcabSR Authorities arrested a Newbold resident for supposedly robbing a man in Girard Estate. As first reported in the April 7 South Philly Review as “No longer in storage,� the complainant stated that at approximately 2:30 p.m. April 2, he met with the offender, from whom he had agreed, through a website application, to buy a Mongoose BMX bike for $30 at 10th and Chestnut streets. The offender allegedly said the item was in storage and that he would need the presumed purchaser’s help in removing it. The victim accompanied him in a silver, small body SUV to an alley on the 1900 block of Shunk Street and when the motorist pulled in front of the unit, he reportedly inquired about the presence of the funds. The driver supposedly pulled out a red pocket knife and demanded the cash, with the complainant parting with it and leaving the ride per the aggressor’s instructions. Pursuant to an arrest warrant, police detained Anthony Verrati, of the 1700 block of Jackson Street, on Friday and charged the 20-year-old with pos-

session of an instrument of crime, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, robbery, and theft. He posted his $25,000 bail and awaits an April 26 preliminary hearing.

A[OQYSR W\aWRS >ORRg EVOQYa Law enforcement officials need help in arresting the man who struck another male inside a Queen Village watering hole. Surveillance video captured the image of the aggressor at 11:35 p.m. Feb. 27 as he struck a fellow patron within Paddy Whacks Pub, 150 South St. He continued to beat the complainant until employees intervened, fleeing the establishment in an unknown direction.

At 7:55 p.m., police responded to a report of a shooting on the 2200 block of Titan Street and discovered two men suffering from gunshot wounds on the 2100 block of Sears Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Personnel at Presbyterian Hospital performed surgery on the first, as he endured six wounds to the upper torso area, and treated the other victim for a blast to his shoulder. Police learned they had been sitting on the 2200 block of Titan Street when an unknown, lightskinned black male wearing a mask to cover the lower portion of his face walked up to them from 23rd Street, asked “What’s up?�, and started shooting.

>`]^S`bg OaaSaa[S\b Police are after the depicted man for suspicion of fraud in West Passyunk. The individual met with the complainant at 4:40 p.m. Jan. 26 to discuss the latter’s plan to rent a property on the 2300 block of South Hemberger Street, with surveillance video capturing this image on the 2300 block of West Passyunk Avenue. The victim signed a lease and paid a deposit so as to move in two days later. On move-in day, the complainant met with other would-be tenants, learning from them that they had also rented the same property from the suspect and were there to begin their lease, too.

Lindros as a savior and loved his style of play. Unfortunately, injuries and disagreements with management would come to mark his tenure here, and he ended up with the Rangers after all in a 2001 trade. Nevertheless, he made me the very proud owner of an 88 jersey. 6) The Sixers make the NBA Finals: The entire 2000-’01 campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers is etched in my brain, especially as its conclusion coincided with my college graduation. Having nurtured a serious dislike for the Los Angeles Lakers, I believed our guys would win the championship, but Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant and company vanquished them in five games. That club won more games than the last three 76ers teams combined. Think about that. 5) The Eagles convert on 4th and 26: Freddie Mitchell is serving jail time for tax fraud, but on Jan. 11, 2004, he cashed in on his potential by gaining 28 yards on a catch from Donovan McNabb as the Birds faced the Green Bay Packers in an NFC Divisional Playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field. The fourth-quarter grab set up a game-tying field goal and helped the team to carry the momentum into overtime, where another field goal sent the visitors back to Wisconsin. 4) The Eagles execute another miracle: Any loss by the New York Giants is a cause for celebration for me, and I was giddy Dec. 19, 2010 when the Eagles, trailing 24-10 entering the fourth quarter, scored four touchdowns in the final frame to grab a 38-31 victory. The final score, a 65-yard punt return by DeJean Jackson, came with no time left, meaning Eli Manning and his sour puss had to process the choke without any chance to make amends. 3) Roy Halladay tries on perfection: I had always wondered how Roy Halladay, who spent 12 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, would look in red pinstripes. On May 29, 2010, he looked absolutely flawless, throwing the 20th perfect game in Major League Baseball history against the Florida Marlins. It’s a great thing Doc was impeccable, as the Phils scored only one run for him. 2) The Phillies win the World Series: I know a few people who cannot recall a single loved one’s birthday or remember an anniversary yet know the significance of Oct. 29, 2008. With a strikeout of Eric Hinske, Brad Lidge completed a five-game World Series triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays and sent me and thousands of others to Broad Street to regale their efforts. Two days later, let’s just say a few more folks witnessed their parade and heard Chase Utley’s famous estimation of what the team had become. 1) The Flyers stun the Bruins: In the grand scheme, disliking a sports team does nothing for someone. That aside, I absolutely hate the Boston Bruins. Up three games to none in the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals, the Beantowners blew their series edge and completed their collapse in Game 7, during which they held a 3-0 lead, May 29, with Simon Gagne playing our hero.

aturday’s 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins sealed a playoff berth for the Flyers and filled me with immense pride for our hockey heroes. There are those who have barked and will continue to say “So what?� since the team sealed the eighth and final Eastern Conference postseason invitation, earning the club a matchup against the top-seeded Washington Capitals, but that win and its predecessors show that these players and this coaching staff have heart. Who cares what number seed appears by their name come tonight’s opener? When mid-April hits, these squads are equals. The triumph over the Penguins, easily my most loathed NHL franchise, led me to think about other times when I have found myself thrilled to call myself a Philadelphia sports fan. Here is a list of such moments. 10) The 76ers resign Elton Brand: The power forward is five days older than I am, so I have always felt this pull toward following his hoops career. When he came to the 76ers in 2008, I applauded the addition and wished him well when the team parted with him four years later. Since the once-proud club has become the league’s laughingstock, I nodded on Jan. 4 when thengeneral manager and president of basketball operations Sam Hinkie signed the two-time AllStar to be a positive influence on its young roster members. Will the 37-year-old be back come this fall? While the nice guy will not finish first if he returns, I think his class puts him far above most of the NBA’s supposed role models. 9) The Eagles throttle the Cowboys: The previous sentence has happened quite often lately, but I am referring specifically to Sept. 3, 2000, as the Birds opened their season with a 41-14 road annihilation of their NFC East Rival. It set the tone for an 11-5 season, signaled their rejuvenation as a championship contender, and irked thousands of Cowboys fans. 8) Matt Stairs takes Broxton deep: On Oct. 13, 2008, Matt Stairs made middle-aged men proud by crushing an eighth-inning offering from Jonathan Broxton in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. Two days after the 7-5 win in Los Angeles, the Phils punched their ticket to the World Series with a 5-1 triumph at Dodger Stadium. 7) The Flyers acquire Eric Lindros: Oh, what might have been! The Flyers acquired the 19-year-old star on June 30, 1992, with an arbitrator ruling that they had cemented a trade with the Quebec Nordiques before the hated New York Rangers. Three seasons into my fandom but with no playoff games to speak of, I immediately saw

he schoolyard at Edwin M. Stanton School, 1700 Christian St., is less than ideal. The nearly 330 students at the Graduate Hospital-based community school, serving Pre-K to eighth graders, don’t get to play safely or productively on state-of-the-art playground structures or play surfaces the way that wonderfully-funded and Friends-supported schools do. But the school, with the help of the 501(c)3 Stanton Community Partners, teamed up with the Water Department and the Trust for Public Land, are trying to fix that with a $100,000 fundraising campaign. From 6 to 9 p.m. April 21, at NextFab, 2025 Washington Ave., Stanton Partners will hold a fundraising night that will go a long way towards meeting the schoolyard’s needs. “We get a lot of skinned knees and elbows. It bites back hard, it’s not the best or the prettiest,� principal Stacey Burnley, a leader at the school for the past five years and recipient of the 2015-’16 Lindback Distinguished Principal Award, admitted. “It’s what the kids deserve, most definitely.� Stanton Partners helped rally support for the second attempt by the School District of Philadelphia to close Stanton for good in ’12. They’ve also helped foster and support the nearly 37 partnerships the school’s accumulated as of late. One of the biggest has been Bainbridge House, 1520 Christian St., who have brought in regular arts programming, and vice-president of Stanton Partners, Lauren DellaCava, says that motto has become “arts + academics = success. We really just feel that community partners are essential to the spirit of Stanton.� DellaCava, a resident of the 900 block of South 18th Street, doesn’t have children in the building (yet). But her four-year-old, Mia, and four-month-old, Natalie, with husband Paul, are motivation to get invested in neighborhood education early. “Everyone has a right to quality education in their neighborhood,� she said, adding “the idea in Philadelphia is too often that it’s private or charter or you move. Our mission is to support Stanton but also to support public education and neighborhood education in general.� The principal agrees that schools and Friends groups (for schools) typically have the same mission: “Seeing kids grow and blossom and become the best they can be.� - Bill Chenevert SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

ifty years ago, at the intersection of 13th Street and Washington Avenue, the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts was born. It was founded by members of the Black Musicians Protective Unit, Local 274 (chartered in 1935). Membership roles included Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, and the Heath Brothers. Celebrating Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM), a month-long tradition since 2001 created by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History curator (John Edward Hasse), is easy to do in South Philly – we’ve created a lot of jazz south of South Street since its inception in the early 20th century. In October 1995, the Clef Club moved to 738 S. Broad St. by selling its former home, which now houses the Chua Bo De Buddhist Temple. But it was in ’78 that Clef Club leadership embraced a newfound mission: present jazz performances, preserve the artform, and offer instruction services to Philadelphians. And throughout April, their home at Broad and Fitzwater is the premiere destination for JAM celebrations. “One of the great things about Philadelphia and jazz is that Philadelphia’s known for a city of neighborhoods and

each neighborhood has a jazz great,� Lovett Hines, the Clef Club’s artistic director, said. “South Philadelphia has had so many great musicians.� He refers to Pat Martino, of course, and the aforementioned Heath Brothers. Hines can also tick off a long list of formerly vibrant but mostly extinct jazz clubs: the Uptown Theater near Temple University; the Royal Theater on South Street; festivals that took place at Connie Mack Stadium; and, of course, countless churches across Philadelphia, where gospel blended with the blues and praise. He mentioned a few inspirations for his early jazz bug: Art Blakey and Ahmad Jamal (his mother loved “Poinciana�). “We want to be a resource for musicians that are learning, but we also want to be a part of musicians that want to practice and develop – that was the original dream of the Clef Club,� Hines said. He added they started with two students, now they serve closer to 1,000. Outreach programs will see visits to the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., April 25 and to the Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St., May 9. GAMP graduate Dwayne Williams Jr., of the 2000 block of McKean Street, is a 22-year-old Community Engagement Instructor who went to Universal Charter for middle school, which sends

musically-inclined students to the Clef Club to learn instruments. “It’s a cool place and I’ve met a lot of great people,� the Point Breeze resident said of the Clef Club. “The teachers are good and I feel like I learn a lot when I go there – the people you play with, the other students, we all talk and play together.� He also said he knew he wanted to pick up a saxophone when he heard Sonny Rollins and Pepper Adams. Maynard Ferguson inspired Buddy Cifone, a resident of the 2400 block of South Clarion Street who plays trombone in the Clef Club’s Community Big Band, as a youth. “A few years ago we decided we wanted to see if we could get together and have a rehearsal band to play some big band jazz and we started this ensemble and it’s blossomed,� said the 75-yearold Lower Moyamensing dweller and military vet who’s played in Germany and France, but says he’s impressed with audiences at schools like GAMP and CAPA (“They clap for solos, they’re hip enough to know to clap for the soloists�). Cifone says it’s all about determination for jazz greatness. “I meet hundreds of people in my lifetime who used to play. It’s not the talent or the ability to play, it’s the willingness to sit in a room by yourself and practice,� he admitted. At the Clef Club, JAM programming includes the Monday Night Jam Series that is open to the public 7:30 to 11 p.m. April 18 and 25; a Free Jazz Film Series including “Round Midnight� April 20 and “Keep On Keeping On� April 27; the Clef Club Senior Youth Ensemble salutes Wayne Shorter 2 p.m. April 16; Grammy-nominated Angel “Papo� Vazquez is putting on two concerts with the Mighty Pirates Troubadours April 23; and International Jazz Day gets celebrated 7 p.m. April 30.

Crupi was glowingly proud of her victory, and the Collingswood, N.J. resident joked that her family will never be allowed to forget – she won a very specific Gravy Cook-Off – a pretty impressive one at that. “They’re not going to hear the end of it now that I’ve won a gravy cook-off in South Philly. It’s going out in the Christmas newsletter for the next 20 years,� Crupi said.

Passyunk Ave., were sponsors of the event, accepting special permission to pour wine on-site from Neumann-Goretti because they donated all of the libations. “My wife makes an incredible gravy, and she’s Jewish,â€? he said and laughed.

His wife said “every chef has a secret ingredient,â€? and she confessed “my gravy, I put carrots in it, but a traditional gravy has to have meat but it doesn’t have to be meatballs.â€? The popular vote winner, Ms. Telymonde, resides at 22nd and Spruce streets but grew up in Central New Jersey. She participated to support friends in the neighborhood and quietly divulged no secrets about her gravy, other than to say “my mom’s recipe – low and slow.â€? Bob Santoro said Sunday Gravy was every Sunday at 1 p.m. Telymonde’s family ate at 2 p.m., and the sauce was steady while the vessel changed (ziti, lasagna, etc.).

The ingredients, she said, can be cheap: lamb necks, “bones that are going to flavor it.� She lets the lamb “take the lead� and does so by letting the gravy sit in the fridge for a day or two “because the lamb is going to really permeate it,� she explains. How did the official winner feel about a meatless gravy? “Sauce is if you’re doing a 20-minute marinara sauce,� she said.

A Passyunk Square illustrator and gallery artist accepted a unique undertaking in completing the set design for a Walnut Street Theatre-situated play. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

/

nthony Palumbo can credit genetics and benevolence for helping him to display his talent as an illustrator and gallery artist. Particularly potent when painting people, noting he loves doing so with such care that “the viewers who see it are themselves excited to be alive and to be a person,� the 35-year-old has accumulated an impressive list of genrespecific acknowledgments but certainly does not think himself above adding a skill to his repertoire. Kindness and consideration have engendered a brush with novelty for the proficient producer, who handled scenic painting and set design duties for Quince Productions’ staging of “Rodeo.�

“My normal work is just me and [girlfriend] Winona [Nelson] in the studio independently doing our illustrations and sending them off to our clients who mostly are based on the West Coast,� the Passyunk Square dweller said from Venice, where he and his partner are spending the month, of an immediate distinction between his customary calling and latest endeavor. “Theater work is so personal, and in that way was the exact opposite environment of my illustration work, which is arranged entirely by email communication.� The exposure to more interactive employment came courtesy of Rich Rubin, Quince’s producing artistic director. A

collector of work by Palumbo through the creator’s Artists’ House Gallery projects, he approached the figure to see if he would enliven what had already promised to be an entertaining Walnut Street Theatre Studio 5-situated offering. With Rubin’s consistent support of his output, Palumbo could not refuse the commission and set out to make the set serve as an homage to some of his favorite European comic book artists. “I did have one night of apprehension about half way into it, after I had been to some production meetings, met some of the other cast and crew and was fully committed to it,� the hire said, adding that the constituents were about

B?<;IJOB;I six times larger than anything he had ever painted. “As the production came further and further along, and I was working in the theater, rubbing elbows with the other crew and actors, the beauty of the collaborative nature of theater really hit home for me.� Centering on “rough and tumble� cowgirl Cody’s mission to claim kudos by capturing a male-only rodeo, the plot features, according to Quince’s website, “Western-y and Shakespearean-y shenanigans.� With little time to fulfill his obligation, Palumbo blotted out his anxiety and let the unified goal infuse his involvement with added delight. “All of these people united sacrificing so much effort and time to put on a show, it felt great, and I could totally see why people devote their lives to it,� he said of having entered a new world. “The amount of time needed to do this probably means I won’t be able to take on something like it again for a while, unless I encounter a theater production with a massive budget that would allow me to push other work aside. I can totally see how theater is addictive, though, similar to drawing comics.�

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

Lacking people, a staple in his handiwork, the “Rodeo� tasks nonetheless provided the executor an excellent means to progress as an artist and should continue to win regard through the show’s April 23 close, with a concentration on new personal paintings and webcomics to take off once his plane back to Philadelphia lands. “In a world where photography exists, the desire to make realistic pictures by hand is very counterintuitive, and I don’t necessarily understand it myself,� Palumbo said of his passion. “It’s an unexplained drive, but other people are strangely driven to want to see it, so we’re all participating together, and none of us knows why! I think that’s art.� THE MICHIGAN NATIVE began to find himself beckoned to the subjective allure of a creative life through his father, Donald, an English professor whose scholarly work during a chunk of his son’s youth colored comic books as vital societal components, mother Julie Bell, and stepfather Boris Vallejo, the acclaimed fantasy illustrator who enhanced his and his matriarch’s budding talent. Meeting Vallejo at age 10,

Palumbo came to see visual art as a valuable vocation, and, clinging to that niche, he developed a sense of comfort and purpose that escapes classification. “I’ve been doing it so long that I don’t even know anymore, but it just feels good to make something, especially when a piece comes out different and better from how I had initially planned it,� he said. Spending most of his childhood in the Allentown area, he gained exposure to the art scenes in New York and Philadelphia, landing in the latter for studies at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Having commenced his time there so that he could become either a freelance science fiction illustrator or a comic book artist, he soon secured a relationship with the Old City-situated Artists’ Home Gallery that bred opportunities to market his Naturalist and Realist-inspired paintings of friends. Craving a renewed connection with his initial loves, he ended up meeting Nelson at an illustration workshop, and the two realized that, much like yellow and blue make green, passion and conviction yield careers. “It took us a couple of years to get our

footing, but we’ve both got pretty steady work coming in from various comic book and gaming clients now,� Palumbo confided. “And of course now that this is the case, I’ve got the bug to paint a new body of my own work and focus on gallery sales again.� A visit to anthonypalumboillustration. com fosters encounters with amazingly vivid and considerate pieces. The site notes that his art has made its way onto book covers, in collectible card games, and in video games, with clients including Fantasy Flight Games, Heavy Metal Magazine, Night Shade Books, and Wizards of the Coast. “The thing that has always been a constant since I was a little kid is wanting to make pictures of people,� Palumbo stated. “As long as I can make a picture of a person, especially their face, I’m in my element.� SPR Visit quinceproductions.com.

hen I heard Donald Trump would be appearing with Chris Matthews on MSNBC in a Town Hall setting, I told my wife he’ll be sorry. And then I made sure I was home to watch the event unfold live on TV. Matthews is the toughest inyour-face interviewer since the halcyon days of Mike Wallace. I didn’t anticipate that the undoing of Trump would occur over the question of banning abortion. If he doesn’t win the nomination, he may look back on that moment when the lights were extinguished on his chance to claim the White House. The moment occurred when Mathews asked Trump how he would ban all abortions. Trump could’ve replied with a softball answer, one that pro-life politicians and their supporters normally use - punish the doctor and not the woman who is seen as a “victim� in abortion cases. Indeed, Trump used this rationale when forced by the ensuing controversy to walk back his answer the next day. By implication, Matthews seems to believe laws don’t stop abortions, but instead force women to seek them in back alleys as they did before Roe v. Wade. But laws never stop ALL crimes. By that rationale, we wouldn’t have laws against murder because laws don’t stop ALL murders from occurring. But I believe it is safe to assume laws against crime do act to have one think twice about committing that crime. One could say the same of laws designed to curb the number of abortions. Note: this column is not intended to address the legality of such laws in light of Roe v. Wade. That is a question for constitutional lawyers to address. Trump obviously had not thought much about either the legal or moral questions surrounding abortion. When Matthews hammered him on whether he believed punishment was necessary and whether it would apply to women, Trump answered “yes� to both questions, and in doing so may have begun the unraveling of his candidacy. He didn’t realize and may still not the level of hypocrisy it takes to justify the pro-life position. Hypocrisy? Let’s see - the pro-life position as I understand it is that abortion is murder, plain and simple. Yet when faced with the question of punishment for the woman who chooses to abort, pro-lifers cringe at the thought. Trump was criticized as much by the pro-life movement as he was by pro-choice organizations after he advocated punishment for the woman. The one hypocrisy that pro-lifers cling to is that women who choose to abort are “victims� not murderers. Isn’t that just a way for conserva-

Ž a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [ tives to patronize women? Women are not capable of making a conscious decision to abort, they are seduced into that decision. By whom, I ask? The doctor performing the abortion, whom conservatives would not hesitate to punish? Really? If one deems all abortions murder (even in the first trimester, which is when the overwhelming number of abortions take place), isn’t the woman like the person who hires a hit man to take out a spouse? In that case, one wouldn’t call the woman a victim (assuming she was not in fear of her life) and only punish the hit man. If Trump had not been so casual in his remarks about abortion when he was a self-styled swinging bachelor (he refuses to answer any questions on whether he counseled any girlfriends to have an abortion back then), one could almost feel sorry for him. The pro-life movement betrays another hypocrisy when claiming to view women as victims when they choose to abort. If one views the woman as a victim, why is it OK to block the entrance to abortion clinics or verbally abuse them as they enter the locations? Is that the way we treat “victims� or accomplices to murder? Or are we just talking double standard here? I understand the hypocrisy of pro-life politicians on treating women as “victims.� Politicians need female votes. As we saw with the Trump fiasco, it’s not just feminists who bristle at the thought of punishing women who have abortions. Conservative women get just as angry at the thought. It’s good to see there is at least one aspect of the abortion issue on which both liberals and conservatives seem to agree (and you thought Trump couldn’t bring us together). The problem is when you call abortion “murder,� it becomes difficult to rationalize exceptions such as rape, incest, and the health of the mother. At least Sen. Ted Cruz and some others are consistent when they eschew all exceptions in the cause of consistency, barbaric as the consequences of such a position may be. I could also mention other hypocrisies of many pro-life supporters, who usually argue for smaller, less intrusive government, but in the case of abortion would allow government to make that most personal of all decisions. Yeah, I’m pro-choice. It’s the right choice in a country of divergent beliefs. I don’t have to worry about punishment for women or doctors or funding Planned Parenthood because the procedure is constitutionally protected. I believe in the Church’s right to preach the moral consequences of abortion, but when it comes to Caesar, I render the legal decisions to Caesar. Donald Trump is not a deep thinker. The only Caesar he knows is a casino.

Rachel’s Polpette di Melanzane

Culinary conviction

V

isiting websites for eggplant recipes will end up being an exercise in fertility, as there are so many means to call on to explore the perennial plant’s culinary possibilities. An incredibly delicious food, the nightshade species serves as a wonderfully reliable ally for those looking to enjoy hearty dishes minus meat sources. For such individuals, Rachel Citrino offers a gem with her recipe for Polpette di Melanzane, or Eggplant Meatballs. The Fishtown inhabitant knows nobody should skimp on protein, so she compensates for the lack of animal flesh by including four eggs in her creation. Those goodies and an equal number of eggplants star in the final product, which will surely intensify or initiate your relationship with eggplant-based dishes. Go ahead. Eggplant Parmesan, baba ghanoush, eggplant rollatini, and ratatouille won’t grow envious. SPR >V]b]( QcQW\OWbOZWO\ & Q][

here are more than a dozen taquerias in South Philly serving affordable and authentic Mexican food. On the whole, they’re casual spots with fluorescent lighting and BYO policies. Table turnover is fast, and service is faster. Most of them are concentrated on Ninth Street around the Italian Market, but for those willing to go a little farther south, there’s a prize waiting at Ninth and Wolf streets. Los Gallos. It sits on a corner in the middle of a densely packed residential area. Finding parking can be difficult, but if you score a spot, it won’t cost you anything, which is good, since you may want to linger. With brightly colored paper flags hanging row upon row from the ceiling, the atmosphere is downright festive. A mural covers one wall, and framed accolades for Los Gallos decorate the other. Even the refrigerator full of colorful Jarritos soda and Boing juice add some cheer. Servers refill patrons’ water glasses from an Ikea pitcher with a tag still stuck to its bottom, but someone has thought to tie a decorative orange towel around the pitcher’s middle. That kind of care is evident throughout the Los Gallos experience. From the attentive staff, to the cinnamon sprinkled on the glasses of horchata, to the half avocado splayed across the top of the enchiladas. The story of just how much owner and chef Luz Jimenez cares about his restaurant has received attention from a number of outlets over the years. As an undocumented immigrant, Jimenez was almost deported in 2010 when he called the police to report being attacked by customers. Punctual tax paying and good Yelp reviews won the judge over and allowed him to continue operating Los Gallos. It was just a grocery store then, with only a few tables for serving food. It opened as a full restaurant in ’12 and has continued raking in the rave Yelp reviews. There’s a decent amount of foot traffic during the week, but with the televisions and music low, the atmosphere can be almost quiet. On the weekends, tables are full and there’s a lot of chatter. The bustle starts even before Jimenez et al open at 11 AM - hungry patrons putting in advance orders for tamales, which are served only on Saturdays and Sundays and are always gone by the dinner hour. On a weeknight, there’s typically just one server. On the weekends, there are at least two and you may get double the service. “Ready to order?� (x2) and “Do you want dessert?� (x2) Skip dessert, and order more tacos – the options abound. I went the chorizo route ($11). Soft corn tortillas were the vehicle for crumbled chorizo that was crispy but not overcooked. I got them “ranchero style-“ topped with lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado, and cheese. Unlike the guacamole ($6.50), which is tasty but unremarkable - Los Gallo’s al pastor dishes are not to be missed. I went with the Quesadilla los Gal-

P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u

los ($9). Tender strips of pork are marinated with spices and pineapple and sandwiched with chihuahua cheese between two flour tortillas. There are many al pastor dishes here: tacos al pastor, burritos al pastor, cemitas al pastor. I appreciated the unadorned simplicity of the quesadilla. The vegetarian enchiladas ($12.50) are stuffed with refried beans and cheese. They’re served covered in generous amounts of lettuce, cheese, avocado, and sour cream and are swimming in mellow verde sauce. Hefty Oaxaca cheese makes these enchiladas more substantial than vegetarian enchiladas I’ve ordered elsewhere. The poblano peppers in the Chiles Rellenos ($13) are roasted until crispy and stuffed with cheese. The tomato sauce that smothers it is flavorful, but still allows the pepper to take center stage. A mound of rice, avocado, and a pool of pinto beans are served alongside. The Alambre Especial ($15) is a must for the meat-lover. It includes the carnivore’s darling bacon – the key ingredient that makes this dish memorable. Chihuahua cheese is melted over a tangle of grilled steak, bacon, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. A small pork chop perches on top. Accompaniments include rice and beans and a basket of small corn tortillas, wrapped delicately in a brightly embroidered towel. Technically, the Alambre Especial is item #59, if that’s how you’d like to order it. Jimenez has created a helpful menu, with a great amount of assistance for patrons who don’t speak Spanish. The lengthy menu features labeled photographs of many of the dishes and detailed descriptions in English. Every menu item is numbered, so if non-Spanish speakers have anxiety about trying to order, they can order #59, for example. Non-Spanish speakers should give the pronunciation a try, though. The servers are as helpful as the menu. Three tips of the toque to Los Gallos. SPR

P&S Ravioli Co.’s Italian Hoagie

4

ranco DiGiacomo used to earn his living as a computer programmer, but, much like the keys that he would manipulate to write software programs, he knew he could never enjoy total autonomy in that role. Seeking to control his destiny, he decided in 1994 to become a full-time employee of the P&S Ravioli Co. entity that his uncle, Primo, and father, Secondo, established in 1966. Twenty-two years into his culinary odyssey, the resident of the 3200 block of South Broad Street is helping the family business to oversee five locations, including 1722 Oregon Ave. and 1640 S. 10th St. “I’m Italian, so I grew up with food as a big component of understanding how to make people happy,� the 47-year-old said from the Oregon Avenue space. “It’s great to share that with the people around here because we really respect how much quality they want in whatever they buy.� Raised in the industry, DiGiacomo stated that helming operations has come as second nature to him, and he has enjoyed ample success through his clan’s brainchild, with numerous plaudits, including South Philly Review Readers’ Choice Awards, to the franchise’s name. Having added hoagies and sandwiches to their offerings in 2002, he and his hires revel in perennial status as a busy tender of appetites, with those additions having overtaken the pasta proLos Gallos visions as their chief seller. '# E]ZT Ab # ## "# “We feel fortunate to have such a presence Z]aUOZZ]a[SfWQO\bO_cS`WO Q][ around here,� DiGiacomo said, with manager Craig Harris pointing out their popularity in Comment on this restaurant or review at southarea markets and stores. “We’re celebrating 50 phillyreview.com/food-and-drink/reviews. years, and we’re thankful for the opportunity to H[ijWkhWdj H[l_[m0 3 Feeh 3 <W_h 3 L[ho =eeZ 3 ;njhWehZ_dWho mark that longevity with our customers.�

He can credit many delights for their prosperity, with the Italian hoagie, whose 50 daily requests make it the Marconi-situated venue’s top item, a praiseworthy provision. The P&S website tabs freshness as the key word in all that they do, and the hoagie helps to solidify that stance. “It’s a staple but that doesn’t mean that no thought goes into it,� DiGiacomo said of the protein powerhouse. “We care so much about everything that happens here, and this hoagie is a big part of who we are.�

CANCER (June 21 to July 22): A friend won’t be pleased when you turn down a request for help and may make many accusations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): Earning money is important, but so is connecting with your spirit. A regular paycheck brings contentment, but true fulfilment comes from a vocation that brings out your best. Your boss is looking for proof that you can handle more responsibility. Attending a class or training course will prove your dedication. Lucky number: 364.

“I had the pleasure of working for the Flyers from ’88 to ’97,� the resident of the 2700 block of South Marvine Street said. “He was the epitome of class. He set an example for an organization that was truly a family. He has meant more to a sports organization and city than any owner in sports history. He will be missed.� BORN EDWARD MALCOLM Snider, he became a partner in a record company following his graduation from the University of Maryland. At 31 years old, he acquired a seven-percent stake in the Philadelphia Eagles, holding vice president and treasurer duties. While his pigskin pursuits proved profitable, it was to be hockey that would make him a legend. Unlike many expansion teams across all sports, the Flyers impressed immediately, even taking the St. Louis Blues, the eventual league runners-up, to a seventh game in their initial playoff experience in ’68. Six years later, they were the champions, repeating with the same group of scorers and tough

guys in ’75. The following year, he scored major points with fans of his charges’ often maligned physical style of play when he told the Soviet Union’s Red Army Team, which had vacated the Spectrum ice as a protest against rough checks, that if it did not return to complete the Super Series matchup, the Soviet Hockey Federation would not receive pay. The visitors complied and fell 4-1, with the Flyers being the lone NHL club to achieve a victory against the Red Army unit. While Mr. Snider achieved acclaim for reverent exchanges with Flyers personnel, he also aspired to encourage budding practitioners of the sport, with the 2005 creation of an eponymous youth foundation his chief means to help youngsters to strive to become the next league superstar or to feel a greater sense of confidence and direction. More than 3,000 inner-city children and young adults, from Philadelphia and Camden, receive free tutelage, with many individuals excitedly heading to Rizzo Rink, 1101 S. Front St.

he Philadelphia Flyers will take to the Verizon Center tonight to face the Washington Capitals with high hopes, as the game marks the opening of their first-round playoff series, and heavy hearts due to the Monday passing of founder Ed Snider. The architect for the beloved franchise succumbed to bladder cancer at age 83, two days after the club secured a postseason berth by defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., setting up any true fan’s wish for the team to claim a third Stanley Cup championship. “Ed Snider was the soul and the spirit of the Flyers, who have reflected his competitiveness, his passion for hockey, and his love for the fans from the moment he brought NHL hockey to Philadelphia in 1967,� National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman said of the chairman of Comcast Spectacor, the owner of the club that Forbes notes as being worth $660 million. “While the loss of Ed Snider tears a hole in the heart of the Flyers and the city of Philadelphia, and leaves a massive void in the city’s sports landscape, it also challenges all who knew him to carry forward the great works that are his legacy.� Having founded the squad in ’66, the Washington, D.C. area product oversaw such a surplus of success that only the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins have amassed a better winning percentage, with no unit making more appearances (8) in the Stanley Cup Finals since their inaugural, and victorious, trip in ’74. Reverence and regard came his way easily, leading many acquaintances and hires to eschew addressing him by his first name and to refer to him formally. That admiration for his example became apparent New Year’s Eve when this season’s roster members, coaches, and support staff visited Mr. Snider at his Montecito, Calif. mansion, where head coach Dave Hakstol spoke of the joy in seeing “the light and fire in his eyes.� Nearly three decades prior to that experience, South Philly inhabitant Joseph Messina commenced his connection with the icon, whose inspiration to bring hockey to the City of Brotherly Love was born Nov. 29, ’64 when, following a basketball game in Boston, he observed fans looking to secure tickets to a Bruins game.

“Like all of his endeavors, Ed dedicated himself wholeheartedly by personally funding the charitable organization and its programs and rink projects,� foundation co-chair Bill Whitmore said. “... We should all celebrate the wonderful impact on our community that was born of Ed’s incredible vision for what can be when we commit our time, effort, and resources.� Mr. Snider also influenced the professional aspirations of Whitman denizen Mark Casasanto and peers from the opening team at the CoreStates Center, the Wells Fargo Center’s first incarnation. “It was an exciting and educational experience that opened the door to all future career paths,� the resident of the 300 block of Daly Street said. “The most amazing thing about it is this - many of my colleagues and interns who traveled this same road with me are all prominent event professionals in the area and beyond. I guess it could be said that Mr. Snider’s influence went far beyond his beloved Flyers. In a very ‘Six Degrees of Separation’ sense, seemingly, all roads lead back to Ed Snider. From all of us, thank you!� “He gave the last ounce of his indomitable energy and strength to live through this hockey season, but now the Flyers must win without him,� his children said of their patriarch, whose accolades include induction into the Hockey, United States Hockey, Philadelphia Jewish Sports, Philadelphia Sports, and Flyers halls of fame, the ’05 Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce’s William Penn award, and a ’12 charitable work commendation from the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association. “... We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from the community, his friends, and all those who were fortunate to have been touched by him in some way, large or small.� Packer Park resident Paul Stricker hones deep devotion to the Fly Guys and believes that even death will not slow Snider’s likewise strong interest. “A lot of people say it’s a shame Ed won’t get to see his Flyers in the playoffs,� he said. “I think he has the best seat in the house.� SPR

PERSONALS Prayer Thank You NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted. The prayer must be published immediately.

M.D.

Prayer Thank You

NOVENA TO ST. JUDE

Oh Holy St. Jude, apostle and Martyr, great in virtue & rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need. To you I have recourse from the depths of my heart & humbly beg to whom God has given such great power to come to my assistance. Help me in my present & urgent petition. In return I promise to make your name known & cause you to be invoked. Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Mary’s & Gloria’s. St. Jude, pray for us & all who invoke your aid. Amen.
