ick Jagger opined “Childhood living is easy to do” in The Rolling Stones’ 1971 song “Wild Horses.” As reality often counters the performer’s sentiment, Ciara Stith and Ali Jennings recently resolved to remedy troubling circumstances for downtrodden children and young adults. The ladies donated their tresses to Locks of Love, a West Palm Beach, Fla.-based nonprofit that crafts hairpieces for individuals dealing with long-term medical hair loss. Their offerings further the entity’s 15-year mission that has assisted 3,000 North American figures 21 and under.

he thuds of bouncing basketballs and schoolchildren’s excited clamors reverberated through the gym at William Meredith School, 725 S. Fifth St., as the education facility launched its second annual Hoops for Haiti. The fundraiser, held April 13, was the initiative of eighth-grade teacher Kelly Schaaf.
Two summers ago after the January 2010 devastating earthquake that affected nearly three million people, Schaaf visited Haiti for 10 days in honor of her late grandmother. Traveling with her church, she volunteered at Hope for the Children of Haiti, a Christian-owned and operated school and orphanage in Bolosse, a borough of the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince. “It was the first time that I had ever seen that kind of abject poverty — families without water, children without shoes —
and it was just overwhelming to me,” she said. Schaff was most struck that so few families could afford to send their children to primary school, and decided that something must be done. Upon returning stateside, she made a video of her experience and showed it to other Meredith faculty members. “At our first faculty meeting back from See HOOPS FRO HAITI page 10

A quick ďŹ x
What do you think of the law that would require you to present ID to vote in November’s General Election? “I think it’s a good idea. Now, anyone can go in and sign a name, so it is a good idea. But I also think that it might hurt people, like older folks who have to go and get a current ID. It could cause voting numbers to decrease, but it’s a good idea nonetheless.� Lee Miller Broad and Ritner streets “It doesn’t really matter to me, but I think it’s a good idea. It stops people who shouldn’t be voting by identifying a person with a name and address. At the same time, it forces people to go get something in order to identify themselves.� Shirley Davis 19th and Moore streets “It’s a good idea, but it could be a problem for senior citizens, or people who don’t travel.� Mike Russo Packer Park
“I’m for it. I think it helps legitimize people, so that people aren’t voting more than once or using another person’s identity. If you are eligible for a form of ID, then I don’t think it should be a problem.� Megan Garrigus Broad and Jackson streets Interviews by Samantha Byles Photos by Bobby Kittredge

To the Editor: PAWS has great news, especially for low-income pet owners in 19143, 19145 or 19146: You can have your pets spayed/neutered for free at our clinic, 2900 Grays Ferry Ave., thanks to funding from PetSmart Charities and the ASPCA. Spaying/neutering, or “fixing,� your dog or cat is important for many reasons: They won’t have kittens or puppies; will live longer, healthier lives and behave better; will be less likely to get certain types of cancer; and will be less likely to roam or spray. It’s also good for the community: Thousands of pets are killed in Philadelphia’s shelters each year simply because they don’t have homes. Spaying/neutering is the only way to reduce the homeless pet population and increase shelter animals’ chances of getting out alive. If your pet isn’t fixed, we urge you to make an appointment today. Call 215-298-9680, e-mail clinic@phillypaws.org or come see us – we’re open seven days a week. If you receive public assistance of any kind (Medicaid, Access card, etc.), it’s free. If not, we offer low prices ($60 for cats, $90 to $175 for dogs). Pets also get rabies and distemper shots, if necessary, and exams before and after surgery. There are no overnight stays; animals are dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon. More than 12,000 pets come to our clinic each year; we treat each one as if it were our own. Free spay/neuter services will be available while funds last. We hope to see you soon!
future economy. Child poverty rose in 2010 as the nation continued to feel the impact of the recession. Forty-four percent of children were living in families with incomes below 200 percent of the poverty level. Pennsylvania does not fare better than the nation as a whole. Children in 76 percent of Pennsylvania’s counties are at moderate-high to high risk of school failure because of poverty-related factors. Every part of the state is impacted, with at least 15 percent of children younger than 6 in every Pennsylvania county living in low-income families. As the effects of the recession continue to be felt throughout the Commonwealth, families search for employment and quality early education for their children. Gov. Tom Corbett’s budget proposal for ’13 continues a three-year trend of cuts to early care and education programs, including a 5 percent cut to Pre-K Counts, an $18 million cut to Child Care programs, and a 5 percent cut to Head Start Supplemental. Why is it so important to invest in early-childhood education? More than 30 years of evidence-based research points to improved cognitive, socioemotional and health outcomes for children enrolled in quality early-care

and education programs. In Pennsylvania, federal and state programs are successfully preparing children for kindergarten so they can enter school ready to learn and to succeed. Every Pennsylvania child deserves a strong, healthy start. The Week of the Young Child is a good time to remember the indispensable role that early childhood education programs and services play in our community. Not only do they level the playing field and mitigate the effects of poverty so that all of Pennsylvania’s children can succeed, but they promote the long-term health and well-being of our families, schools and shared communities.

A week for the meek To the Editor: This week marks the Week of the Young Child, an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children to focus public attention on the needs of young children, their families and the early-childhood programs that serve them. During this time, it is important to call to mind the reasons we invest in early education. Early education plays a vital role in leveling the playing field for at-risk kids, improving educational outcomes and ultimately, fueling the promise of our

“It is very comforting knowing that my comp. case & Social Security claims are being handled by the best in the business. I have no problem referring someone to the Social Security or Workers’ Compensation department.” 1818 Market Street, Center City –Nicholas B. 2901 Grant Avenue, Northeast Philly 72 West Lancaster Avenue, Malvern
Friday shooting left a 45-year-old woman dead and a 23-year-old man in critical condition. A 2:33 p.m. radio call alerted authorities to an incident on the 1500 block of South Corlies Street, where they discovered Clarice Douglas, of the same block, suffering from gunshot wounds to the back and head, Officer Tanya Little of the PoShekinah lice Public Affairs Unit Williams said. Following transportation to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Douglas died at 3:32 p.m. Police learned more information on the matter when Hakeem Burley, 23, of 27th Street and Snyder Avenue, arrived at the facility via ambulance with four gunshot wounds to his left arm and side. Their investigation yielded eyewitness accounts of Burley and Shekinah Williams, 28, of the 2100 block of Sears Street, as having an argument and being the alleged gun wielders, Little said. The recovery of the former’s supposed weapon, a .45 caliber handgun, led to three firearm violations charges, including carrying a gun without a license, but more charges could follow. 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson and state Sen. Anthony Williams are offering a $5,000 reward through the Citizen’s Crime Commission of Delaware Valley for information leading to Williams’ arrest. Williams, described as a black male, 5-foot-3 and 125 pounds, is wanted for Douglas’ death, Little said. Burley is being held on $250,000 bail, with a May 8 preliminary hearing, according to court records. He pled guilty to and served time on probation for firearm violations in 2009 for an ’07 incident in the 17th District. Shekinah Williams pled guilty to two 17th District robberies in 2000 for which he served four to eight years each, according to court records. To report information, call the Crime Commission tip line at 215-546-TIPS.
Hazy situation A trash and recycling center fire made for a confusing late morning and early afternoon April 19.
Just before 11:30 a.m., flames broke out at Browning-Ferries Industries Waste Systems of North America Inc., 2904 S. Columbus Boulevard, Philadelphia Fire Department Executive Chief Richard Davison said. Heavy smoke flowed from the site. Not knowing what was ablaze, authorities called in a Hazmat Unit, as the facility contains a large fuel tank. Firefighters put out the injury-free fire just before 12:40 p.m. The disturbance’s cause was unknown at press time.
Residential assault Two Whitman occupants became the victims of a home invasion Monday. When a 30-year-old male opened his front door, two men armed with semiautomatic handguns pushed their way into his house on the 2500 block of South Reese Street at 11:50 p.m. to acquire money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first intruder forced the man to an upstairs bedroom, while his accomplice remained in the living room with a 31-year-old woman. Receiving a negative response when asking for money, the first trespasser used an unknown object to strike the householder’s head, later firing one shot in an unknown direction, Tolliver said. His prey then revealed money was in a nearby drawer, so the encroacher took both residents’ ID cards, the man’s iPhone and $3,000. The interlopers fled after the female was forced to join the first complainant. The first offender was described as black, age 20, 5-foot-10, with a thin build, and wearing a black face mask with gray stripes, a black hooded shirt, dark-colored pants and black North Face boots. The second was described as black with a medium complexion, late teens to early 20s, 5-foot8, 160 pounds, with short hair and wearing a black Polo hat featuring a red horse, a tan Polo jacket and dark-colored jeans.

When the 28-year-old was walking northbound on the 1300 block of South 20th Street at 10:12 p.m. April 19, she noticed three females exiting a silver, late-1980s to early-’90s Honda Civic, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After trailing her for two blocks, they confronted her, first pushing her against a wall, then shoving her to the ground. After absorbing several punches to her face and body, she had her blue shoulder bag confiscated, Tolliver said. The object contained identification, credit cards, a wallet, SEPTA tokens, house keys and an iPhone. She observed her attackers return to the automobile and flee northbound on 20th Street. She sustained injuries, including scratches on her right forearm, yet did not seek treatment. The first attacker was described as black, age 18, 5-foot-9, 150 pounds, with a medium build and straight black hair and wearing a long-sleeve hooded shirt and blue jeans while the second was described as black with a dark complexion, 5-foot5, 165 pounds, with straight black hair and wearing a red shirt and light-colored jeans. The third was described as black with a dark complexion and wearing a light-colored, possibly tan, shirt. The vehicle’s driver was described as a 20-yearold white female with brown hair.

Kukkamaa noted Locks of Love has recipients in all 50 states and across Canada, so Jennings knows she can count herself among those with compassionate hearts. “I think it’s a great organization to help give children the confidence they need to live a normal life and be strong through their struggle with long-term medical hair loss,” she said. “It’s just hair but it helps kids be kids again.” Locks of Love does not maintain a list of participating salons, yet, as has been the case with Jennings, interested parties can send in hair themselves. The organization provides pieces and repairs free of charge or on a sliding scale depending on an in-need child’s family finances. Shortterm hair loss sufferers can also call upon Locks of Love for help. “People often see us as helping only cancer patients,” Kukkamaa said. “We want people to see us as much more.” Its mission statement tabs Locks of Love as a restorative agent in helping children “to face the world and their peers.” Stith is thrilled to have aided the quest. “Every strand matters,” she said.

HOOPS FOR HAITI continued from page 1 summer break, in September [2010], she showed us her video. And I was crying like a little baby,” physical education teacher Christopher Theodore, aka “Coach Theo” to the Queen Village institution, said. With his coaching connections around the city, Theodore was able to conjure up support for last year’s event, “Skills and Drills,” which was held in conjunction with some of Philly’s most beloved professional teams. This year, though, the event took on a life of its own at Meredith. Dressed in matching T-shirts and wearing wide smiles, student council members and the eighth-graders greeted students and staff as they entered the gym. Students in fourth- through eighth-grades paid $5 to cheer on the three-time defending state champions Neumann-Goretti boys’ basketball team as the Saints from 1736 S. 10th St. showed off their skills and joined in a slamdunk fest and another $5 to participate in a students-versus-staff basketball game. Staff outscored the students 28-20, with Schaaf contributing 10 points to the winning team. Younger schoolers were excited for the face-off. “My best friends will be there,” fifthgrader David Palestini said prior to tipoff. His favorite part of the event was meeting the basketballers and seeing the tall hoops stars hold up the children for some excellent slam-dunking. “I’m glad we get to be here to gain hope for the kids in Haiti and to help them to learn,” the resident of Second and Morris streets said. LAST YEAR, THE fundraising secured almost $5,000. School-wide budget cuts cast a slight shadow on the hopes for an equally high turnout this year due to minimizing fundraising efforts. Still, organizers raised nearly $3,000, which will go toward academic scholarships for children residing in Bolosse. The average day-wage in Haiti is approximately $10, and the cost for a student to attend school at the Hope for the Children of Haiti school is roughly $350. With donations such as Meredith’s, the school has increased by 400 students since the 2010 earthquake. Schaaf acknowledged that the further from the earthquake and thus the less media attention, the harder it is to motivate students to be energized to help those still suffering in Haiti. But this year, she and her dedicated crew of eighth-graders and student council members went from classroom to classroom, showing pictures from her trips and talking about her experiences. “I’ve found that the kids [are more receptive] when you put [the issue] on their level and you say, ‘These are kids just like

you who can’t go to school,’” Schaaf said. The lack of a postal service in Haiti doesn’t deter Schaaf from carrying out her Good Samaritan intentions. She has visited Haiti a few times since her first visit, bringing school supplies and maintaining a relationship with the children at the school in Bolosse. With new restrictions for both health and safety reasons, and bag weight limits at airports, the trip is never easy. “Even the airlines were more generous after the earthquake with how much you can bring down, and now if you’re a pound over, it’s like ‘Nope! You can’t take that.’ So, people’s compassion can waver,” she said. Students at Meredith embraced the cause for Haiti with enthusiasm, as students and Schaff made a student-friendly video of Haiti students and their happy reactions to receiving school supplies and donations made possible through the Meredith community. The video also featured Meredith’s students showing support for their Haitian friends through “Go Crazy For Haiti Day,” whereupon students wore crazy clothes and hats for a chance to win a free ticket to the Hoops for Haiti festivities. When she returns to Haiti, Shaaf will take the video, thus allowing the students to “meet” their American well-wishers. “There’s a song playing in the background, and [the video] shows everything [Schaff saw] in Haiti,” eighth-grader Kristina Scalia-Jackson, a resident of the 2600 block of South 11th Street, said. “We get to see how happy they are, and
how the simplest things make them so happy,” eighth-grader Christina Delulo, Meredith Student Council president and resident of the 1500 block of Wolf Street, added. Christina said that student council participation was also a way for younger students to interact with their peers and understand the perspectives of other students. A raffle prize of Philly sports accouterments was one lucky youngster’s to take home at the end of the fundraising game day. All students were able to snag a chance to take home T-shirts, backpacks and wristbands handed out by the hoopsters. But at the end of the day, it was the act of giving that made the event a special one. “The fact that we can all come together as one and get a task done, although it might be time-consuming, is worth it,” Christina said. “Helping the less fortunate just makes us really appreciate what we have and not take things for granted.” With its wild success, Schaff hopes to continue Meredith’s Hoops for Haiti as long as there is hope and need. “It might look different every year, different people might show up each year, you might get $10 one year and $10,000 another year, but I think keeping the education and letting the kids know [year after year is important],” Schaaf said.

ith only two contested South Philly state representative races, a pair of new faces is headed to the General Election. In the 182nd District, covering portions of Bella Vista, Grays Ferry, Hawthorne, Passyunk Square and South of South, Brian K. Sims, with 51.6 percent of the vote, defeated incumbent Babette Josephs, who had held the position since 1985, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State election results. In the 186th District, vacant since 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson stepped down to join City Council, Jordan Harris, of 31st and Reed streets, garnered 75.7 percent, according to state results. The coverage area includes parts of Grays Ferry, Hawthorne, Newbold, Passyunk Square, Point Breeze, South of South, West Passyunk and Southwest Philly. Sims and Harris will move on to the General Election Nov. 6 unopposed. To fill the 186th’s vacancy until the next term begins in January, Democrat Harold James and Republican Barbara Hankinson faced off in a special election, with James winning 93.82 percent of the votes, according to the Philadelphia City Commissioner’s Office. Frank Pinto, a 10th-and-Fernon-streets native, lost to fellow Republican John Maher in the Auditor General race. Pinto received 33.9 percent of the vote statewide and 42.6 percent in Philadelphia, according to state results. —Amanda L. Snyder

A
few months ago, Philip Narducci became more hands-on at his family’s nightclub, Encore. When he got into the groove of things, he suggested something to his nephew. “It was my uncle’s idea completely,” Joseph Baldino, the club’s general manager, said. “We are always looking to do things to separate ourselves, so we thought of a ‘throwback’ night. It’s sort of like Memories [Lounge in Margate City, N.J.] on The Shore — that kind of music.” Launching May 3, 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursdays will feature a rotation of neighborhood disc jockeys, spinning their favorites for the crowd. “First we have Eddie Tully, then Jerry Blavat, Johnny Looch and Robbie Tronco,” Narducci, of the 3200 block of South Broad Street, said. “That’s the first rotation. I’m almost 50 years old and there are not too many places in the city that actually have my age bracket in there.” Encore, which the family took over six years ago as Heat and renamed last year, is an Old City space that actually features
A family-run business returns to its roots as an uncle-and-nephew team promotes a South Philly “throwback” night at its Old City venue. two clubs, with the downstairs spinning Top 40s while the upstairs has hosted the Latin club Brasil’s for about 15 years. Narducci’s sister and Baldino’s mother, Susan, owns the space, but the two, who hope the newest creation on the lineup will further diversify the club’s appeal, handle the day-to-day operations. “The crowds are very young, in their 20s,” Narducci said. “There is no place for us to go, like my age. So I said, ‘let me talk to my sister and see if she would want to start oldies night,’ and she agreed to it, to see how it goes over. “Guys, like Jerry Blavat, who’s known me since I was born, they have their own following and with our friends and family, I think we can have a real nice crowd.” NARDUCCI ATTENDED STELLA Maris, formerly at 814 Bigler St., and St. John Neumann High School, then at 2600 Moore St. His nephew went to St. Monica, 1720 W. Rit-
ner St., before also heading to Neumann. When Narducci graduated, his family was already getting down to business. “After high school, I went straight into Fifth and Moyamensing — Philip’s Steaks,” Narducci, for whom the shop was named at age 15, said. The family, which runs the business that opened its doors in 1979, closed for two years and reopened in ’84 at 2234 W. Passyunk Ave., makes sure to instill the core values to the next generation early on. “From a baby, [I was at Philip’s Steaks],” Baldino, who grew up at 19th and Wolf streets and moved to Packer Park a decade ago, said. “I’ve been flipping steaks since I was 3.” As a natural extension, the family expanded from food service into experiential offerings with Encore. “I just enjoy being around people. If you come out, you’ll see this place is like New Year’s; just looking around at people’s faces you can see how happy
they are,” Narducci said. “I’ve never seen nothing like it. ... These people are having a ball.” With the summer months approaching, the co-managers felt it was a great time for the addition. “Thursdays in South Philly — there is not much to do,” Baldino said. “Everyone goes down The Shore Friday, Saturday, Sunday, so we hope to make [Encore] your last stop before you head down to The Shore.” In all of its ventures, the family has made an effort to employ relatives and friends, but makes sure everyone who walks in the door feels at home. When Narducci and his clan set up the first steak shop, they set the groundwork for the tradition Baldino, 27, continues today, with his younger brothers. “With any business, I have to contribute luck to some things, but we had ups and downs, like every business has, but we took up each others’ slack,” Baldino said. “... We’re just people from South Philly, from the streets, and we do the best we can.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/ lifestyles.

By Tom Cardella Columnist
The night I saw DiMaggio
I
t was Aug. 18, 1950. I had never seen Joe DiMaggio in person. To me and my friends, he wasn’t mere flesh and blood. He was DiMag, Joltin’ Joe, the Yankee Clipper. He lived in Manhattan and played for the New York Yankees, but he could have had a penthouse on Mount Olympus if he wanted. He was a legend, adored in all of our Italian-American households. In those days, only the Athletics’ and Phillies’ Sunday home games were televised. And none of us had a TV yet anyway. He existed only in magazine cover photos and in play-by-play men’s excited voices on the radio. Not actually seeing him play only added to his legend. His home runs became more prodigious in the retelling — the grace with which he glided across the outfield was described in terms used for the ballet. It didn’t matter whether you rooted for the Yankees; if you were an 11-year-old Italian-American kid who didn’t even own a baseball glove, you loved DiMaggio. On this muggy August night, I was finally going to see him. My cousin Nick was like an older brother to me. He had gotten a job as a vendor at Shibe Park (renamed Connie Mack Stadium in 1953). In those days, soda vendors carried a tank on their back and squirted the drink into a paper cup. The Athletics were not a very good team in 1950. Connie Mack, at the age of 88, was the team owner and also in his last year as manager. Crowds were small, even when the mighty Yankees came to town. The big attraction was supposed to be DiMaggio, but the vaunted star was struggling through an injury-plagued season. Coming into the game that night, things had gotten so bad for Joe that Yankee manager Casey Stengel had done the unthinkable. He had benched the great Joe D. for six straight games, while the proud Yankee seethed on the bench. We didn’t even know whether we would get a chance to see DiMaggio that night. My cousin got me to the park around 5 p.m. and went off to get ready for work. He cautioned me to stick by the entrance to the nearby gate because that’s where the visiting team entered. “Maybe you’ll get a glimpse of DiMaggio,” I remember him saying. There were already a small group of admirers standing by the gate.
In 1950 autographs were not the big deal they are now. Unlike kids today, I was not prepared with a pen and scorecard to get autographs. Until this day, I do not have a single autograph. Suddenly a bus pulled up and a group of dignified looking men in suits and ties got off. Without pausing to acknowledge the crowd, the players filed by us and that’s when I saw DiMaggio. His wavy hair was mostly silver with flecks of black. He wore a neatly tailored gray business suit. He could have been a Wall Street banker or a movie star or even the president (he looked more the part than President Harry Truman, a short bespectacled former haberdasher). But he was more important than any of these people — he was Joe DiMaggio. I could almost reach out and touch him. Of course I didn’t touch him (you can’t touch a deity). I didn’t shout to get his attention (a kid doesn’t disturb a deity). I just watched, speechless, as he passed me by without so much as a glance. Yet, I have never forgotten that memory. Hero worship is the last thing to die in old men. Vic Raschi, a big bear of a right-hander, was pitching for the Yanks against a lefty for the Athletics by the name of Lou Brissie, who was a decorated war hero. In December 1944, Brissie was the victim of an artillery shell exploding nearby that shattered his left tibia in about 30 pieces. He was awarded the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Cluster and the Bronze Star. It took Brissie two years to get back to the big leagues during which he underwent 23 operations. Our hero DiMaggio had only volunteered for military service late in the war, and reportedly only after being forced to by public opinion and at the urging of his own wife. Joe D. never saw battle. Maybe it says something about hero-worshipping 11-year-olds or maybe it just says something about the sports fan in general, but somehow it was DiMaggio who was considered the hero, not the valiant Lou Brissie. The game was tied 2-2 going into the ninth. DiMaggio was hitless in his first three at bats and had not hit a ball hard all night. The muggy August heat was stifling, and big moths flew bombing missions around the old ballpark as DiMaggio came to the plate. Brissie made a mistake and Joe D. launched a line drive into the leftcenterfield seats. DiMaggio trotted slowly around the bases, vindicating his return to the lineup. The Yanks won 3-2 and later that year went on to beat the Phillies in four straight in the World Series that October. DiMaggio retired from the game after the following season because of bad wheels. I never saw him play in person again. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.
Quoth the critic, nevermore
Detective Fields (Luke Evans), left, joins Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack), right, to halt a murder spree inspired by Poe’s eerie works.
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
I
t’s a terrible pity that while watching “The Raven,” one imagines lead character Edgar Allan Poe (John Cusack) would probably detest it. A hallowed writer known for beautiful prose beyond just popular spook stories, Poe surely favored a kind of grace and wit this film is sorely lacking. A period thriller that reimagines Poe’s last days as a connect-the-dots murder mystery, the movie is constantly undone by self-seriousness and the distraction of a retrospective voice, its characters speaking not from their own time, but from ours, where every half-literate high schooler is well aware of Poe’s dark and offbeat influence. Shaping a story around a copycat killer who brings Poe’s goriest works to life isn’t a bad idea, as it ostensibly aims for something very much down Poe’s alley, and it dodges usual tropes of the biopic. But as written by Ben Livingston and Hannah Shakespeare, and as directed by “V for Vendetta” helmer James McTeigue, “The Raven” amounts to nothing more than a brisk procedural found in countless paperbacks, its tale befitting Alex Cross more than one of literature’s greats. It’s alarming how shrill McTeigue allows his film to get, sacrificing nuance for volume in virtually every dramatic moment. It’s a wonder everyone in this version of the 1840s didn’t go as deaf as Beethoven, for each character, from Poe to Detective Fields (Luke Evans), bellows his feelings and intentions like a mad dog in a shouting match. Add that to comic-book quirks like Poe’s recreational handling of a human heart (while hanging out with his pet
raccoon), and you’ve got one of the year’s worst unintentional lampoon pieces. The final product is indeed a shame seeing as Cusack, despite being partly to blame for that infernal racket, goes beyond his resemblance to the legend and accesses something true and tragic about his soul. Much of Poe’s exploration of gloom stemmed from a litany of personal losses, and there are great flashes where Cusack, and Cusack alone, lets us peek at that pain. But those are minor respites in a near-insufferable misfire, a movie deserving of a proper Poe demise.

Don’t sneer too much at this belt-it-out crowd-pleaser. Dolly Parton may look silly bursting out of her choir robes, and Queen Latifah may finally overplay her Strong Black Woman card, but “Joyful Noise” hits every note it needs to, and both of its lead stars deliver precisely what their fans crave—comedically, dramatically, and, of course, musically.

La Scala’s Pronto By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
L
ast week, The New York Times presented its annual pizza issue. Its food editors and reporters firmly believe pizza is one of the most important foods in Manhattan. It is also important in Philadelphia. I love pizza and will go to great lengths to sample one of my favorite foods throughout the city. My current favorite is still the white square pies with spinach square served up at Santucci’s near the Italian Market. SliCE offers good pizza as well. The city’s newest pizzeria, La Scala’s Pronto located near the Community College of Philadelphia, is a very casual place where you step up to the counter and place your order. If it is not busy, a server will take good care of you. Edward, Sandy and I drove over to La Scala’s Pronto right after Passover because I had dreams about pizza. We brought a bottle of wine and looked over the menu. There’s pizza, of course, salads, pastas, appetizers, entrées, sandwiches and side dishes. Our server, Gianna, answered our questions with a smile. Since the ball games were over, we watched a “60 Minutes” tribute to the late Mike Wallace on the television during dinner. Caesar salad ($5.75) was prepared with homemade baked croutons and came with sliced hard-cooked egg. The dressing was homemade, but I could not taste any anchovy, which I like. The chopped salad ($6.95) was akin to an antipasto because it contained chopped provolone and FonM a rc o n i / Pa c ke r Pa r k

tina, along with chopped pepperoncini and imported Italian meats. Romaine and iceberg lettuce were added to the toss, as well as sweet bits of red onion and tomatoes. A good old-fashioned vinaigrette came with the salad. Pizzas are available small, large and extra-large. Gianna advised two small pizzas would fill the bill nicely. The tomato and cheese pie ($7.95) arrived piping hot. La Scala’s Pronto adheres to the crisp, thin crust rule. Since we also like white pies with spinach, La Scala's Pronto’s was on order, and it did not disappoint. This version ($8.95) was prepared with freshly chopped baby spinach, the right touch of freshly chopped garlic, tomatoes and ricotta cheese. This was an inspired choice. Sandy never tried pizza prepared with fresh ricotta. It brought a smile to her face after the first bite. Several days later, I decided to place an order for delivery at lunchtime. Sandy and I dove into the portobello pie ($8.95) prepared on a whole wheat crust, which has become quite popular in a number of pizzerias and restaurants throughout the city. This pie was fresh with sweet caramelized onions, heady portobello mushrooms, sliced cherry tomatoes — which brought a bit of sweetness to the pizza — garlic, olive oil and mozzarella cheese. It was a winner with us, and we saved a few slices for Edward to sample at suppertime. The arugula salad ($6.95) was tossed with slender strands of roasted eggplant, chopped radicchio, grilled sweet red on-

ions, sundried tomatoes and bits of Gorgonzola with homemade white balsamic vinaigrette on the side. The salads are generous at La Scala’s Pronto and serve two to three people. The Italian hoagie ($6.75) was okay. Although it was prepared with imported meats and cheeses, something was missing. I could not put my finger on it. Maybe it needed some seasoning such as oregano or more olive oil. Edward believes a hoagie needs to be packed with onions. I did like the use of sweet red onion in the hoagie, however. My hunt for pizza will never end. I will

Push the cheesesteak or pork sandwich aside in favor of unique, good-for-the-body dishes featuring fruits, vegetables and grains. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
I
n 2003, Sid Lerner, a former Madison Avenue Mad Man, created “Meatless Monday,” a slogan and campaign that quickly spread throughout the world. He wanted to draw more public awareness to the importance of fruits, vegetables and grains in our daily diet. Lerner, who is not a vegetarian, became a partner with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and soon chefs, school cafeterias and non-vegetarians hopped on the Meatless-Monday bandwagon. It’s a popular tradition in our home. I prepare dishes with eggs, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products. I am always looking for unique dishes to serve once or even twice a week that are vegetarian but not vegan. Enter Michael Natkin, the creator and author of the award-winning blog, Herbivoracious. I just received a copy of his cookbook. It is brimming with vibrant vegetarian recipes for dishes one can prepare any time during the week. The recipes are vegetarian, not vegan. “It was not exactly a hotbed of haute cuisine,” Natkin, who was born in Louisville, Ky., writes in his introduction. “Everyone ate fast-food hamburgers and vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercy.” Natkin lost his mother to breast cancer when he was 18. He did a lot of the home cooking as a teenager, and his eyes opened wide when he arrived in Providence, R.I., to attend college. He ate Portuguese, Thai, Italian and Armenian foods for the first time. Natkin admits in the run-up to college, he devoured cookbooks like a fine meal.
He lives in Seattle, where he spent years in the software industry before turning his attention to writing. He’s a pretty good food photographer as well. He took the full-color photos for his book.
■ Ten-Minute Chickpea Salad ■ with Feta and Basil Ingredients:
2 15-ounce cans of chickpeas, rinsed and drained 1/2 of a red onion, finely diced 1/2 of an English cucumber, finely diced 8 ounces of roasted red peppers from the jar 8 ounces of feta, crumbled 1 garlic clove, crushed and minced 1 handful of fresh basil leaves, torn 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions: Combine all of the ingredients except for the salt and pepper in a salad bowl and toss well. Depending on how salty your feta is, you might not need any salt. Add the pepper to taste. Serve right away or refrigerate for up to a few hours. Serves three as an entrée, eight as a side dish.
■ Chevre with Sautéed Grapes ■ Ingredients:
8 ounces of fresh soft chevre (goat cheese), cut into eight pieces and rolled into balls 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1-1/2 cups of red seedless grapes, halved 1 tablespoon of fresh chives, minced 1 tablespoon of chive blossoms, pulled apart into individual florets, optional 1 teaspoon of fresh oregano leaves Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, to taste
Directions: Just before serving the salad, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high. Add the grapes, and sauté them for 30 seconds. Arrange the chevre on a serving platter. Pour the grapes around the cheese. Drizzle with the remaining oil. Top with the chives and remaining ingredients. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: Natkin prefers the Laurel Chenel brand of goat cheese, but any top-quality chevre will work well. A small handful of baby microgreens can be substituted for the chive blossoms. You also can use kosher salt.
■ Dutch Baby ■ with Sautéed Apples Ingredients:
5 large eggs 1-1/4 cups of whole milk 1-1/4 cups of flour Pinch of kosher salt 1 stick of unsalted butter 2 apples such as Cortland or Gala, peeled, cored and cut into 16 slices each
2 tablespoons of brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon Generous sprinkling of confectioners’ sugar 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the first four ingredients into a blender and blend at high speed for one minute. Put 6 tablespoons of the butter into a wellseasoned 12-inch cast-iron skillet or other oven-safe pan. Put the skillet into the oven. When the butter has melted, pull the skillet out of the oven, and swirl the butter around using a brush to coat evenly. Pour the batter into the skillet, and return to the oven. Cook until puffed and golden brown, for about 18 minutes. Melt the remaining butter in a sauté pan over medium-high. Add the apples, and sauté until they are tender and glazed, for about five minutes. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and pinch of salt and sauté for about two minutes more. When the Dutch Baby is done, remove the skillet from the oven. Top with the apples and confectioners’ sugar. Carefully turn out the Dutch Baby onto a serving platter. Serve with the lemon wedges. Serves four. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

TAYLOR AND HOOPS have had a healthy relationship since his days at St. Thomas Aquinas, 1719 Morris St. The ’01 Review Male Athlete of the Year averaged 15 points, six assists, five rebounds and two steals in his final Neumann campaign, helping coach Carl Arrigale to secure the first of his eight titles. His talented family includes fellow alumni in cousin Richard “Tabby” Cunningham and brother Earl Pettis, the latter a soon-to-be La Salle University graduate. A desire to remain close to kin prompted Taylor to attend Lawrenceville’s, N.J.’s
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I April 26, 2012
few months before engaging in literal pushing to bear their daughter Suhayla Taylor, Shatira Harrison performed the figurative version, coaxing boyfriend Robert “Beattie” Taylor to continue his basketball career. “She was definitely persistent and has my gratitude,” the 29-year-old athlete said. Enjoying his first year as a father, Taylor, formerly of the 1500 block of South 15th Street, also is rejoicing over leading the UL Eagles to Ireland’s SuperLeague National Cup Feb. 3 and the SuperLeague Championship March 25. The victories resume his role as a winner, a title forged in his days at St. John Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., now Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. His second sojourn to the Emerald Isle spelled immediate trouble for foes, as the Southwest Philly resident used a deeper appreciation for the team concept to restore his squad’s pride. “People want winners,” he said of ditching an infatuation with individual merit for an affinity for cohesion. The Eagles sent him a fall e-mail titled “Help” to see if he might consider salvaging their year. Having made his overseas debut in 2005 with the then-Limerick Lions, Taylor decided to pounce. “I had been working out with guys at Neumann-Goretti and after strength returned to my legs, I felt I had to resume,” he said. His agent’s outreach landed him a contract and a November flight. Deeming the team “a mess” upon his arrival, Taylor chose to be a leader, though not a loud one. “I led by example and that meant holding my tongue sometimes,” he said of his approach to building rapport and resolve. His limbs made up for his mouth’s silence, with his parental status compelling him to give his ’01 Catholic League Championship company. Taylor confessed having a child made him hungrier to be able to share successful hardwood tales. His adversaries likely wish he had become a procreator later, as the Eagles quickly re-
