Members of two local communities have wrestled over a proposed moratorium on housing improvements. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

“I

think they’re letting years of frustration blind them to the fact there’s new energy and investment in the area,” Andrew Marx, a resident of the 15th and Manton streets and Newbold Neighbors Association vice president, said of advocates for Bill No. 110134. The work of City Council President and 2nd District Councilwoman Anna C. Verna, the bill would amend Title 14 of the Philadelphia Code and prohibit “the issuance of any permit for the construction of buildings, additions or roof decks, exceeding a certain height, on certain properties See CONSTRUCTION page 8

Performances like 81-year-old Cass Rubino’s April 22 post-lunch musical interlude could soon end if the local site for elders closes. Once a Jewish educational center, Stiffel now assists anyone, regardless of ethnicity.

“I

’ve not been coming for long, but my heart is already here,” Estelle Goldstein said April 28 at the Jacob and Esther Stiffel Senior Center, 604 Porter St. If fate maintains its tumultuous course, the heart of the resident of the 300 block of Daly Street will end up broken. Barring

a mammoth economic assist, Goldstein and the other 449 individuals who depend on the 83-year-old facility for comforts such as kosher meals, exercise programs, day trips and discussion groups will need to seek them elsewhere. Their amenities could become the victims of an economic shortfall, as the space faces a $200,000 operational deficit and requires $400,000 for repairs to its roof and boiler. Minus a serious sum, the lo-

cation, which became a senior center in 1975, will likely close by July 31. Though that date represents an extension of the June 30 deadline the board at Northeast Philadelphia’s Raymond and Miriam Klein JCC, which runs Stiffel, set April 12 with an 11-1 vote, it strikes Goldstein as indicative of disrespect. “They can’t displace us,” she said. “This See STIFFEL page 11

To the Editor: Where do we stand as American citizens with our federal, state and local governments? We actually stand alone. There are times when we all become gamblers and the stakes are high and very costly to us. It’s called Election Day. As we cast our votes, we are gambling with our lives, welfare, peace of mind, and most improtantly, our American way of life. For a while now, we have been on a losing streak with the gamblers we put in office. From Washington, D.C. to Harrisburg to our own city, it’s a mess. We didn’t cause the mess yet we are forced to pay the price to clean up the mess. Those people who have far more money than the average American caused it. As we all dreamed and cherished how we wanted the American way of life to be, our bad gambles have turned it into our nightmare. Our American workforce has been made into pawns. The way of living and working has been challenged, degraded, and in some cases, removed by our bad gambles and fortune hunters who created a dynasty for themselves. The two sides that we gamble with are called Democrats and Republicans, each on a different side of the table. Yet, neither one will allow us the right to live the American way of life as only we see fit to live it. Both sides will stand by and allow the people who made the mess we live in, live out their dreams and way of life by the fortunes they made and are allowed to keep for themselves. In the near future, we will be allowed to gamble again. Will we keep the greed and deceit in office again? Will we gamble on someone who believes our American way of life isworth keeping? Either way, we stand together as one; people against those who held our elected bond over us. Patrick Dio Sr. South Philadelphia

Moving past the past To the Editor: Shame on you, Mr. Van Horn for sharing with us your feelings about raising funds for the Japanese people (“A history lesson, April 21) who are

suffering as a result of their magnitude 9 earthquake. You asked if people have forgotten the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 where about 2,400 American military lost their lives. I ask you if you have forgotten the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in ’45 for the purpose of ending World War II? As a result of these bombings, thousands of people from Hiroshima and Nagasaki died horribly either on the days of the bombings or months to years later from the radiation poisioning. World War II in the end took not only the lives of a total of 418,500 American civilians and military, but also took the lives Japanese civilians and military. Seems like “what goes around, comes around” already occurred 66 years ago to the Japanese people. Time to move on. Carol DePrisco South Philadelphia

Support for volunteers To the Editor, April was Volunteer Appreciation Month and I would like to sincerely thank all of the volunteers with the Philadelphia Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network for their continued hard work and support. Our national organization fights pancreatic cancer in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The Philadelphia affiliate, which covers all of southeastern Pennsylvania, has many active volunteers who give their time to fight the fourthleading cause of cancer death in the United States. With a five-year survival rate of just 6 percent, pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of any major cancer. There are no early detection tools, few effective treatment options and there is no cure. Despite these statistics, research into this deadly disease is severely underfunded by the National Cancer Institute, with a mere 2 percent of its research funding going to pancreatic cancer. Volunteers with the Philadelphia affiliate are involved in many ways to help change the course of this disease.

They distribute educational material to health care providers, help patients and families connect with the services of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and plan events — such as our 5K walk/run, PurpleStride Philadelphia, which last fall drew 3,300 registrants and raised $478,000 for research and patient support. Dedicated volunteers from all communities in the area are now planning our inaugural Night of Hope Gala, to be held June 25 at the Hilton Philadelphia on City Avenue. Because of our dedicated volunteers, we can make a difference in the fight against pancreatic cancer. To learn about volunteer opportunities and how to become involved, please visit www.pancan.org. Together we can make a difference. Amy Cunningham South Philadelphia Comment on these letters or topics at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

WE DO EVERYTHING! its 1924 inception, but the city has been able to celebrate only five Stanley Cups, with the last title coming in 1972. I can see Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fans saying how much Philadelphia would like to have â&#x20AC;&#x153;only five Stanley Cups.â&#x20AC;? Hey, fans, you have had 43 more seasons than my Flyers, so face the wicked, hard reality that you are not going anywhere. My dislike has me wondering if fans like to support all of a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams or just a couple. The Sox, Celts and Pats will never lose my allegiance, with the Bruins set never to lose my disgust. My local support mimics my Boston attraction. The Flyers, my lovable heartbreakers, will always draw me in, as will the Phillies, no matter how many times Ryan Howard swings at garbage. The Sixers are promising, with a fair amount of potential. The Eagles, however, can pound sand, Jell-O or whatever else is around. If Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; followers believe they are cursed, they should buddy up with a Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buff to learn what true misery is.

ach Flyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loss disappoints me, but any setback to the Boston Bruins infuriates me. I have disliked the Beantown bunch since the 1990 Stanley Cup Finals, the first I watched, when Bill Ranford helped the Edmonton Oilers to beat in six games the team that drafted him in 1985. All that I liked about Boston was that their goalie, Andy Moog, who began his career as an Oiler before a trade for Ranford sent him to hell, er, Boston, had the coolest last name in sports. The Bruins destroyed the Flyers yesterday and let me cogitate on how much of an oddity the boys are. I love the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots, having followed the first two for 22 years and the third for 10. The ice hockey squad has had superstar talent since

Festivity turns violent

A tiff believed to be between two Asian ethnicity groups left a man hospitalized during Cambodian New Year festivities. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

man was stabbed during a fight while a Whitman man, who was later arrested, fired two shots to break it up Saturday. A 33-year-old man was part of a fistfight that is believed to have been between Laotians and Cambodians at 8:33 p.m. on the 2300 block of South Seventh Street during a Cambodian New Year celebration, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A 44-year-old grabbed him yanking him from the confrontation and noticed his abdomen was bleeding. Sopheap Kun, 21, of the 500 block of West Moyamensing Avenue, allegedly fired two shots toward the crowd and attempted to flee the scene, but police nabbed him. The gun was registered to Kun, who also has a valid permit, Tolliver said. Kun, who was charged with recklessly endangering another person, allegedly told police someone in the crowd was threatening others with a knife, so he fired the shots in the air as a warning. The man bleeding from his abdomen was transported to Methodist Hospital in critical condition for what was believed to be a gunshot wound, Tolliver said. Instead, doctors discovered it was a long, deep laceration. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

Fender bender A West Passyunk man allegedly rear ended a man’s motorcycle, punched the driver in the face and attempted to flee the scene Friday. A 22-year-old was stationary on his motorcycle on the 100 block of Snyder Avenue when Edward Durham, 21, of the 1900 block of Point Breeze Avenue, stopped behind him at about 6:30 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Durham allegedly backed up and then drove forward into the motorcycle. He then is believed to have exited his vehicle and punched the biker multiple times in the face causing cuts and bruises to his upper lip, nose and right cheek. Durham attempted to leave the area, but police detained him upon arrival. The biker was transported to Jefferson in stable condition, Tolliver said. Aside from his facial injuries, he suffered a bruised and sprained right knee and ankle. Durham was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime, criminal mischief, accident involving death or injury when not properly licensed, driving while operating privilege is suspended or revoked and accident involving damage to an attended vehicle or property.

While walking to her car at 2 a.m., a 30-year-old lady was pushed down on the 1500 block of Fitzwater Street by two men, who took her green purse, which contained $200, identification, credit cards and a cell phone, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When she screamed, one of the men pulled a black automatic handgun from his waistband and pointed it to the ground to quiet her. The pair fled west on Fitzwater Street.

within the Point Breeze area of the City” for one year. Members of Concerned Citizens of Point Breeze approached Verna from August through October, claiming their community, which spans from Broad to 25th Street from Washington Avenue to Moore Street, had reached a consensus on looking to preserve architectural uniformity for the expanse, Tony Radwanski, City Council’s director of communications, said. “The only way to gauge community reaction was to introduce the bill,” he said of the attempt to check the growth of a stretch whose lower portions www.zillow.com, a national real estate authority, deemed thriving sales territories last year. Since its introduction, he added, Verna has received “not one call for and a million against” the proposal. A March 23 hearing before the council’s Committee on Rules united the backers and opponents. The chief voice among the former belonged to Concerned Citizens president Betty Beaufort, a resident of 18th and Reed streets, who argued two-story dwellings must remain the norm. She feels those who add stories or build three-story homes hinder skyline views and will contribute to tax increases for established residents, according to published reports. “That’s not right,” Radwanski said of the taxation element. “Three-story homes and second-story ones are not comparable.” Newbold Neighbors Association president Jim Resta oversees an area whose boundaries, Broad to 18th streets and Washington to Passyunk avenues, overlap Point Breeze’s. His home dates from the 1880s and contains three stories, like every other abode on the block. “I actually agree with their argument about aesthetics, but the demands of modern building codes and modern living make a 700-square-foot house obsolete in every sense,” the resident of 15th and Tasker streets said. The hearing led Verna, who grew up at 22nd and Dickinson streets and whose jurisdiction includes Point Breeze, to table the recommendation, with plans to gain more feedback from community meetings. South Philadelphia HOMES Inc., 1444 Point Breeze Ave., hosted a gathering featuring Verna April 7. The next day Concerned Citizens blasted the evening affair in a press release. “Many residents believe Verna is trying to find support to renege on the moratorium,” the release claimed, adding that Point Breeze’s longtime residents have supported her in her 36-year district career. “... Concerned Citizens of Point Breeze believe Verna has received pressure from big money developers and is trying to find

excuses to pull the moratorium. ... [The] Point Breeze community wants the moratorium now!” Despite ample outreach, Beaufort refused to comment further. BEAUFORT DESIRED A permanent halt to altering the two-story setup, Radwanski said. The City allows construction to reach 35 feet, with permission to expand to 38 feet coming from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Philadelphia City Planning Commission has joined much of Point Breeze and Newbold in rallying against the measure for one simple reason, the advancing future. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2, a product of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, seeks to assist in redeveloping abandoned and foreclosed homes. Philadelphia has received almost $44 million, with $7 million going to Point Breeze. Developers need to use all of the funds by ’13 to prevent having to pay back the federal government. Groundbreaking on 11 houses soon will occur on the 1700 block of Federal Street, Radwanski said. The new zoning code, which would require homeowners to set their third-story add-ons back from the street, should be in place by year’s end. Marx and his wife Becky live in a twostory rowhome but know an addition has benefits. “We’re aware of the fact that for us to remain in the neighborhood once we have children, the extra space a third story provides would be crucial,” he said.

The sometimes strained relationships among new resident and community groups and their older counterparts in both neighborhoods, according to Resta, Marx, Antoinette Johnson and Gerald Ross, have often failed to include Concerned Citizens’ accepting diversity and change. The 2010 census classified Newbold as 38 percent African American, 28 percent Asian, 25 percent Caucasian and 9 percent Latino, continuing what Resta says is a 40-year identity as a mixed-race neighborhood. The source indicates Point Breeze’s Caucasian figures have risen 38 percent since ’00, allowing whites to comprise 11 percent of the 23,585 residents. African Americans constitute 68 percent, although their numbers declined 20 percent. Resta has attempted interacting with Concerned Citizens but has found difficulty in engaging members in an open dialogue. “I think part of their communication problem is that they’re using this issue as a proxy when the discussion they want to have is about race,” he said. “They are using myths about gentrification as a mechanism to scare older Point Breeze residents into hatred for anything that stands for change,” Johnson, a resident of 19th and Manton streets and co-founder of the greening group Point Breeze Pioneers, added of Concerned Citizens’ refusal to see Point Breeze’s return to being a “mixed income, mixed race, vibrant community.” As part of its “Save Point Breeze” campaign, Concerned Citizens created fliers two years ago that decried development in neighboring South of South and spoke of an influx of “yuppies” and opposed the

Planning Commission’s plan for Point Breeze development. “The reality is that most of the residents I encounter on a daily basis are happy to see the neighborhood going back to its original condition, with homes being built, families moving in and businesses popping up,” Johnson said. “It just flies in the face of logic to try to slow down development in any area in this economy,” Ross, a resident of the 1800 block of South 18th Street and a buyer, rehabber and seller of Newbold homes, added. “If Point Breeze continues to develop, there will be no gap in redevelopment from Center City to Newbold, which I think is crucial.” Six weeks after tabling, the bill remains in limbo, much to the delight of many, including Marx, who feels Concerned Citizens members should use their ears as much as their mouths. “I find myself wondering what kind of positive changes their misguided energy could go towards instead, and how much more legitimately their concerns would be taken if they showed they could embrace and rationally deal with the changes that are a natural part of the progression of any neighborhood,” he said.

STIFFEL continued from page 1 center is the heartbeat of the community.” That heartbeat started to become labored two years ago, when the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, Stiffel’s owner and a top funder, dissolved the JCCs of Greater Philadelphia, leaving the Klein JCC, the city’s largest senior center, as Stiffel’s administrator. Facing possible extinction itself, the Klein JCC opened talks about Stiffel’s future last summer. Raechel Hammer, Klein and Stiffel JCCs’ vice president of strategic development and compliance, detailed the prospects for the building’s survival in a one-hour session that featured equal parts angst and courage. Nobody wishes for Stiffel to cease its services yet the stressing circumstances might prove too powerful, she said. The latter led attendees to divulge the alliterative components of their time at Stiffel that breed the most joy — convenience, companionship and kosher cooking. “This center has taken on the identity of the neighborhood,” Hammer said, adding nobody has bought the space. “We want everyone to end up in the best situation. The [$435,000] budget, the deficit and the repairs are the issues, not the ethnic iden-

tity of the participants.” Hammer noted numerous nearby centers could offset parting with Stiffel, including Fels South Philadelphia Community Center, 2407 S. Broad St.; Center City’s Philadelphia Senior Center; and the South

Philadelphia Older Adult Center, 1430 E. Passyunk Ave. She offered the Klein JCC as a fourth possibility, but the center’s Jewish identity could not cause the crowd to capitulate. The Klein JCC would offer ParaTransit through SEPTA, but the one-

hour distance between sites crippled notions of convenience and companionship, as complaints on the likelihood of losing friends over unwillingness to travel were the second most prominent gripes. Nothing topped grumbling about removing a firm part of many participants’ lives — access to kosher meals. “Those other places won’t provide kosher food,” Connie Felser, a five-year venturer to Stiffel and a resident of the 1200 block of South 11th Street, said of the centers, excluding the Klein JCC. “I could do without all of the programs here. We have to keep kosher.” “Most of all, we need to stay open,” Rachel Garber, a resident of the 2400 block of South Sixth Street and a seven-year member and volunteer, added. “Entertaining the idea of closing is a horrible thing to do to all of us, but especially to the oldest among us, some of whom are old enough to be my parents.” JUST BEFORE A luncheon to recognize Stiffel’s 100 volunteers, Garber and the others learned they could join two committees, one a fundraising group and the other a transition body, which most saw as the center’s death knell.

others for assistance for the once-Jewish dominated yet currently culturally diverse center and devising individual endowment projects constituted most of the response to Hammer’s distributing tablets for signatures. A meeting tomorrow with the Jewish Federation and the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, Stiffel’s chief funder, will further address the committees’ roles. “I am skeptical about the outcomes of those lists,” Garber, who tabbed herself a “rabble-rouser since the Vietnam War,” said. “If they close Stiffel, I will stop doing volunteer work for the federation.” Garber also offered cynicism over the disparity in membership costs. For $30 a year, Stiffel’s members enjoy a plethora of activities and have access to an on-site nurse and a social worker. With two fitness centers, a basketball gym and a 400-seat theater, among other offerings, the Klein JCC offers numerous memberships starting at $25 a month. “Way too costly for low-income residents,” she said, adding the closing would affect other neighborhood entities, such as the John H. Taggart School, 400 Porter St., whose students come to Stiffel for reading assistance. The ceremony for Garber and her colleagues and the accompanying meal included further discussion of the morning’s news, yet camaraderie reigned supreme. “Stiffel is much more fun than SPOAC,” Linda Andreola, a resident of the 2400 block of South Warnock Street, who has attended for many years, said of her preference for the Whitman center, which receives 150 new attendees each year. “I love line dancing and cabaret. These Jew-

ish people know how to have fun.” Andreola had to wait until the next day for cabaret, but music delighted the crowd after Hammer and director Susan Hoffman made their rounds. Now assisting seniors ages 60 and older, Stiffel had no age restrictions from its opening until its refashioning into a senior center, Hammer said. A 1985 fire damaged the building, which received aid from the Stiffel family, leading to its current name. Signs in the dining hall tell the lineage of Jews in South Philly, noting the area contained the city’s largest settlement of Eastern European Jews during last century’s mass immigration. Significant chunks left the territory preand post-World War II, leaving tiny representation on the once-packed expanse from South Fourth to Eighth streets and from Oregon to Snyder avenues. Stiffel’s current population consists of 150 Jews, but Hoffman noted losing a facet of their Jewish identity does not dominate the thinking of those attendees. “They are balking at the idea of going somewhere other than Stiffel,” she said. “Some newer people have told me, ‘I’ve finally found the place for me.’” The announcement came two days after most Jews concluded Passover, the holiday and festival honoring the Israelites’ exodus from Egyptian slavery. Many will not greet an exodus from Stiffel with any joy. “I have Parkinson’s disease but I don’t shake when I am here,” Goldstein said. “Stiffel steadies me.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

unday is a time to celebrate mothers across the globe. In Philadelphia, droves of women (and men) will flood the streets to walk/ run in the 21st annual Susan G. Komen Philadelphia Race for the Cure. “[I’m looking forward to] the excitement of the attendees of the race.” Donna M.

I went to a survivors’ luncheon and to listen to their stories — they had a very touching video. It is amazing how this organization helps people and seeing it firsthand makes me realize I am truly privileged to be a part of this.” After a ’09 theft of funds raised for that year’s Race for the Cure happened at 1 Liberty Place — home to Massanova’s employer, ParenteBeard LLC S ta f f p h o t o s b y G r e g B e z a n i s

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

The problem is us

erhaps like me you received an email recently forwarding a column by now-retired columnist Charley Reese of the Orlando Sentinel. People love the column because he blames politicians for all of our ills. If you haven’t seen it, you can easily find it on the internet. Suffice to say that Reese claims 545 people have created all of our problems (435 members of Congress, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices). He omits the Federal Reserve Board because that “problem” also was created by Congress. Interestingly enough, good old Charley also omits all special interests and lobbyists because they have no “legal authority.” After all it’s a politician’s duty to reject special interest money. I can’t tell you how many accolades for Charley Reese’s column accompanied the e-mail I received. There is one major flaw in Reese’s reasoning: Charley doesn’t mention who elected Congress and the president — you and me. No matter how superior you would like to feel compared to politicians, they are you and me. They are not a special breed grown in some hot house in Washington. They are not sprung from alien pods. Although you would like to think differently, they may be no more dishonest than members of any occupation, including your own. Politicians are us. Although voters profess an intense dislike for politicians in the polls, they keep voting for the same folks over and over and over again. Incumbents win so often that voters often cry out for term limitations, but they can effectively impose term limitations by voting incumbents out of office. But, you shout, after I vote for a politician, they ignore my wishes once in office. Actually they don’t. Politicians of both parties hear you, they just find it impossible to give you what you want. You seek more government services and lower taxes! Politicians know you are incredibly misinformed about the cost of government or that you have the mentality of a self-absorbed teenager. The same polls show that there are basically two things you are willing to see happen in order to fund the things like Medicare and Social Security that you really care about — higher taxes on the rich and less, if not a total elimination, of all foreign aid. Here’s the problem — as much as it pains me to say it — higher taxes on the rich (even if you believe someone making $250,000 is actually rich) is that it won’t

eliminate the deficit. Incidentally, as honorable and noble that most of us are, the real reason we can agree on taxing the rich is that most of us aren’t rich. How about eliminating foreign aid? Even though many of you have told pollsters that you believe this nation spends about 40 percent of its budget on foreign aid, we don’t. We don’t come close. We actually spend a paltry 1 percent on foreign aid. And much of that is self-serving because it protects our own butt and is considered helpful to national security. Back to Charley Reese for a moment, who I hope is enjoying a nice retirement. Whoever attached his column to the e-mail being circulated ends the column with a poem about high taxes, and then proceeds to list all the various taxes we pay. The anonymous writer, not Charley (who may or may not be a Tea Party adherent), goes on to point out that none of the listed taxes existed 100 years ago and “our nation was the most prosperous in the world.” We had no national debt, the largest middle class in the world, guess what- — Mom stayed home to raise the kids. I never thought I’d see the day when someone could get so nostalgic over our way of life in 1911. I don’t think Mom is very nostalgic about going back to a time when she couldn’t vote and had to spend most of her waking hours laboring for Dad and the kids. You know what else didn’t exist? There were no child labor laws to stop kids slaving in sweatshops. The Great Depression had not happened. September 11th was just another date. There was no Medicare, Social Security or unemployment compensation. And most of us rode horses, not in cars. If you’d like to return to the good old days, I’ve got a time machine in my backyard I’d like to sell you. Taxes pay for your safety net so you won’t wind up on the streets dreaming of the great times folks had 100 years ago. They also pay for the military that polls show you don’t want to cut, but apparently don’t want to pay for either. They pay to educate your kids and grandkids. They pay for bridges and roads that get neglected every time some poll pandering to your wishes cuts the budget and doesn’t increase taxes. Dear Charley Reese and your fellow admirers, you get the kind of government you deserve. You get the kind of representation you deserve when you either don’t bother to get informed on the issues or don’t bother to show up at the polls because it drizzled the day or you had to take the dog to the groomer. Let’s all take a good look in the mirror. We have met the enemy of efficient and necessary government and it is not the politicians. It’s us.

‘Something’ worth considering

Ethan (John Krasinski), from left, Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin), Darcy (Kate Hudson) and Dex (Colin Egglesfield) see their friendships put to the test.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ontextually, the grab-your-girlsand-go soiree “Something Borrowed” is a traversal of the rocky roads of friendship, and a flippant tour of New York’s upper-crust hot spots (Hamptons? Westchester? Check, check). But it’s all over the flippin’ map in terms of what it’s able to accomplish. However caricaturish, it nails the chicklit archetypes set forth by author Emily Giffin’s best-selling source (adapted here by girl-power TV scribe Jennie Snyder), but its wandering eye shortchanges a key player or two. And while there’s bubbly truth to the “it’s complicated” central friendship, the spotlight romance is as gnarled as a grape vine. The heroine is upright lawyer Rachel, who, despite being played by the impossibly adorable Ginnifer Goodwin, is positioned as the Rhoda to party girl Darcy’s Mary, the “ugly” duckling to the Cosmoswigging swan. The familiar dynamic is introduced during a 30th birthday bash that Darcy (Kate Hudson) throws for Rachel, where trope-happy director Luke Greenfield includes a slideshow of the besties through the years. Smells like just another yada-yada sisterhood, but there’s something seasoned and real about the bond. A great bit sees Darcy initiate an impromptu dance to Saltn-Pepa’s “Push It,” and Rachel, without a thought, leaps into the choreography, her instinctive allegiance speaking volumes about the pair’s past. But what happens when Rachel starts an affair with Darcy’s fiancé (Colin Egglesfield), who’s also the law school peer Rachel’s loved all along? The movie uses the post-20s ticking-clock device to power

its study of whether or not it’s ever too late to cash in on unspoken feelings. It works to an extent, and Darcy’s boozy-bimbo ways make Rachel’s treachery palatable (Hudson is rarely not playing drunk), but a more-is-more cascade of breakups, makeups, yeses, nos and partner swaps proves one twist too many, snuffing out interest in the outcome. The not-so-secret weapon is John Krasinski, who’s fantastic as the comic angel on Rachel’s shoulder. Speaking of borrowed, could he just loan himself to every movie in need of a confidant?

Something Borrowed PG-13 Two-and-a-half reels out of four Opens tomorrow in area theaters

Recommended Rental Blue Valentine R Available Tuesday The finest love story of 2010, newbie director Derek Cianfrance’s heartbreakingly honest “Blue Valentine” shows a romance as it wilts and also as it blossomed, toggling back and forth between a couple’s miserable present and their distant, hopeful past. In the lead roles, Ryan Gosling and Oscar nominee Michelle Williams are both at their very best, which is saying quite a lot.

Philly

pringtime is when people start to enjoy the great outdoors. After staying docked inside all winter, many are ready to take the boat out of storage and go fishing. But what to do with a great catch once its reeled out of the water? Alice DeVos suggests making her Teriyaki Salmon. (Feel free to take the shortcut and purchase the fish straight from the supermarket seafood counter.) The resident of the 2100 block of South Hancock Street sends the taste buds into another universe. This recipe is so good it might send others out to sea searching for seconds. SPR

Alice’s Teriyaki Salmon INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup of vegetable oil 1/4 cup of lemon juice 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce 1 teaspoon of ground or prepared mustard 1 teaspoon of ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder 4 6-ounce salmon steaks

DIRECTIONS:

In a large, resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container, combine the ﬁrst six ingredients and mix well. Add the salmon to the marinade, cov-

er and refrigerate for at least two hours, turning once. Drain and discard the marinade. Place the salmon in a broiler pan and broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for about five minutes. Turn and broil for five more minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve and enjoy. Serves four.

“After 2 weeks, my blood sugar went from 180 to 120 and stayed there!”

Breakthrough “Antioxidant” Diabetic Drink Hailed ‘A Miracle’

Naturally improves blood sugar, cholesterol, circulation, energy and more in as little as 2 weeks!

“I’ve been a diabetic for 48 years, my quality of life has been restored!” What part of your diabetes would you like to see ‘go away?’ Are you plagued by weight gain and food cravings, high and low blood sugar levels, mood swings, low energy and constant fatigue, poor circulation, vision problems, intermittent pain or aggravating bouts of brain fog or memory lapses? There is good news and it comes in the form of an effervescent drink called OPC Factor, which quickly revitalizes your entire body and mind.

Better Blood Sugar! “My doctor was amazed! I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing it!” Holistic health specialist, Dr. Charles Berg, says, “Antioxidant therapy may slow progress of impaired glucose tolerance.” Diabetic Doyle Allen is living proof. “After only two weeks, my blood sugar went from 180 to 112 and stayed there!” Unhealthy Blood Before

Healthy Blood After

Washes away blood sludge by eliminating toxins, free radicals, and even parasites!

The secret is a powerful blend o f super antioxidants called oligomeric proanthocyanadins, or OPCs including powerhouses like grape seed, green tea, pine bark, and red wine extracts, along with lemon bioflavonoids, resveratrol, and 23 naturally occurring vitamins and enzymes.

No more horse pills! Cell Essential’s OPC Factor™ is the first 100% organic formula fueled by a revolutionary, high-speed Isotonic ‘liquid’ delivery system that mimics the body’s natural pH. This provides an amazing 97% absorption rate. Fast Results Actual blood scans taken twenty minutes apart show how OPC Factor virtually flushes away free radicals, excess cholesterol crystals and sugar molecules in the bloodstream. Excess sugar in your blood causes oxidation which leads to “slow sticky blood,” a problem linked to neuropathy and edema in extremities as well as kidney damage and even blindness. OPC Factor greatly improves circulation promoting faster blood flow; crucial for diabetics. "OPC Factor has helped lower my glucose levels. I sleep better and have more energy and better circulation,” says Charles Leavitt.

NIH Study Proves It! “I can feel it when I drink it,” says Ken Murdock. “It gives a lot of energy.” A National Institute of Health funded “double blind” clinical study published in July, 2008, supports customer claims about energy. For diabetics, energy equals better sleep, moods, and overall balance. “Studies have found that free radicals produce oxidation that disrupts insulin. OPC Factor works 20-50 times better than traditional antioxidants against oxidation,” says Dr. Charles Berg. Receive One-Month Free! Try OPC Factor risk-free today and receive a free 30-day Bonus supply along with a free book, The Aging Antidote-a $20 value. OPC’ antioxidants are clinically proven to boost your energy, and help restore youthful circulation, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. It’s backed by a 6-month satisfaction guarantee so you can experience the short and long term results risk-free, too! Call today!

Sang Kee Noodle House, which is located in University City, offers a patrons an authentic taste of Asian cuisine without having to cross international borders. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

“That’s the way we like it,” Edward replied. Our waiter set before us a magnificent platter of meaty, juicy, perfectly roasted duck that emitted a heavenly aroma. I adored the plum garlic sauce, a yin and yang of sweet and slightly pungent which enhanced our dinner. Asian restaurants are, by nature, a safe haven for vegetarians. I noticed a chicken dish prepared with asparagus and asked our waiter if the chefs could stir-fry some for us. Local asparagus are in season. These thick-and-plump beauties were bathed in the right touch of garlic sauce. You get a choice of white rice or brown rice. Brown rice it is. It has a distinctive nutty flavor and slightly crunchy texture that goes well with any dish. Fortune cookies? Why not. Although they are an American invention, the dishes

at Sang Kee Noodle House and Sang Kee Asian Bistro are authentically Asian, with a strong salute to Hong Kong. Two-and-a-half tips of the toque to Sang Kee Noodle House and Sang Kee Asian Bistro. SPR

chicken or vegetables, at both locations. The appropriate dipping sauces provided a bit of sweet or vinegar. Wonton soup is always made with homemade chicken broth. Sang Kee’s version was fashioned with feather-light dough so thin you could read a newspaper through them. The wonton were filled with a mix of minced pork and shrimp. I sometimes ask for extra scallions because I like my soup that way. Hot and sour soup is rich and thick with mushrooms and tofu, which I do not mind if it is swimming in a spicy broth. It adds flavor while the tofu adds texture. A pan-seared lobster roll was prepared with fresh seafood. I asked the waiter if any “fake” seafood was included and he smiled, knowingly, with a “no, of course not.” Fried shrimp balls also are a tasty way to begin lunch or dinner. On one occasion at the Wynnewood location, I found them a bit too dry. The scallion pancakes at the Noodle House arrived cool and greasy. One that same visit, our server advised the house ran out of duck. Disappointment came over Edward and I because Sang Kee makes the best duck in the city. I often ask the owners at the Reading Terminal location to hack one up for me to bring home. Luckily for Edward and I, Hong Kong roasted duck was available at the Wynnewood location. It rated a 10 out of 10. “This duck is on the bone,” our waiter told us.

y favorite place to lunch while shopping in the Reading Terminal Market is the counter at Sang Kee. Its piping hot bowls of wonton noodle soup with bok choy warms me up on cold days while a platter of steamed dumplings, spring roll and fried rice is my go-to lunch when the weather warms up. I’ve been to Sang Kee Peking Duck in Chinatown and was delighted to find two more locations were added to the Sang Kee family. Sang Kee Noodle House, which is located near Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania, is providing students with tasty inexpensive meals. The atmosphere was boisterous on both my visits but I didn’t care. It was so good to see young people having fun. Sang Kee is keeping them away from goring on too much fast food. The atmosphere is quite different at the Wynnewood-based Sang Kee Asian Bistro. I grew up there and it remains a place for families. The dining room is large and the counter, which runs along the open kitchen, is kitted out with small televisions and remote controls. Both locations have a liquor license and offer complimentary tea. Prices run from $1.50 to $24. The average entrée is in the $11 to $15 range. I enjoyed the hot and crispy spring filled with fresh chopped vegetables and the steamed dumplings, which were plump pillows filled with a choice of pork,

Gift-wrapped with love

Why deal with the crowded restaurants on Mother’s Day? Warm Mom’s heart with a homemade brunch offering that will make her day. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

unday is Mother’s Day, one of the busiest times of the year for restaurants. There are options: Make a reservation for brunch or dinner or prepare a special meal at home for Mom. I’ve always believed in giving practical gifts on special occasions. Last year, I wrote about gifts for mothers who love to cook and bake. I mentioned my birthday is two weeks after Mother’s Day and I would love to receive a mortar and pestle. My friend, chef Christopher Thames, arrived at my home with a beautifullywrapped package. Inside was a marble and stone mortar and pestle made in Italy. Cookbooks rate high on my list of gifts for Mom. Literary works about the world of cuisine are a delicious alternative to the soup-to-nuts cookbooks. My favorite authors include M.F.K. Fisher, Ruth Reichl, Waverley Root, Jeffrey Steingarten, Calvin Trillin, R.W. Apple and A.J. Liebling. This year, why not prepare brunch for Mom and then visit a museum, take in a play or a movie. If you are a beginner cook with a bit of experience, two new tomes will provide inspiration. “The Great Potluck Cookbook” by the editors of Good Housekeeping magazine and “The Little Book of Pies & Tarts” by the food editors of Country Living magazine contain full-color photographs and are spiral-bound for easy reading and cooking. Dessert is up to you. You can purchase Mom’s favorite cake, cookies or pie and serve with ice cream, strawberry sauce or hot fudge sauce. Here are recipes for Mother’s Day brunch. They are from “The Great Potluck Cookbook.”

■ Fizzy Cranberry-Lemonade Punch ■ Ingredients:

4 cups of cranberry juice cocktail 1 6-ounce can of frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed 1 bottle of seltzer Ice cubes, optional 1 small orange, cut into one quarter-inch slices, then cut in half

Directions: In a large pitcher, stir the cranberry juice and lemonade until blended. Stir in the seltzer and ice cubes. Add the orange slices and serve. Serves 12 Note from Phyllis: Cranberry juice cocktail has added sugar. I would use pure cranberry juice in this recipe.

■ Chunky Greek Salad ■ Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 tablespoons of lemon juice Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes, each cut in half 6 Kirby cucumbers, peeled and sliced 1 large red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 scallion, sliced 1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped 3/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled

Directions: In a large serving bowl, with a wire whisk, mix the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Add the remaining ingredients, except the feta, and toss well. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours. When ready to serve, add the feta and toss again. Serves four to six.

■ Scallop and Cherry Tomato Skewers ■ Ingredients: 1 lemon 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 24 cherry tomatoes 16 large sea scallops, preferably dry day boat

Directions: Prepare the outdoor grill. Soak eight wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes. Grate 1-1/2 teaspoons of the lemon peel and squeeze 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and place in a bowl. Add the oil, mustard, salt and pepper and blend. Thread three tomatoes and two scallops alternating on each skewer, beginning and ending with tomatoes. Brush the scallops and tomatoes with half of the mustard mixture. Grill for about seven minutes, turning several times. Brush with remaining mustard mixture and cook until the scallops turn just opaque, for about five minutes. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: You can prepare this dish using a stove-top grill pan. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/features.

This is a chance to fix what may be wrong in paradise. Lucky number: 772. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Striking up a conversation with a stranger could be shocking. The assumptions you had could be way off base. This person either does or knows something you would never expect. Lucky number: 168. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): An unexpected financial gain or expense shakes up life as usual. An impulse buy or loan request could make things better — or worse! Hold off on decisions until things are calmer. Lucky number: 983. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): Facing feelings and areas you prefer to not look at in your inner world empowers you. It becomes easier to dislodge an uncomfortable issue at this time. Lucky number: 492. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22): If unaware of an inner issue that is percolating beneath the surface, you may feel compelled to act out in a problematic way. An insight could suddenly enlighten you. Lucky number: 857. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Embrace a teaching role and impart personal knowledge. You may have the information needed at a work meeting. Share details to increase expertise. Lucky number: 620. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Colleagues look to you for guidance. This is a chance to put your stamp on a project with your values intact. A leadership position or financial reward could develop from this initiative. Lucky number: 091. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): Impatience may drive you to take action. You will surprise people if you suddenly grab the reins. Resistance and cooperation are likely to be in the mix. Lucky number: 586.

Lucky number: 821. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): You may be pulling your hair out at work. Tedious tasks could be piling up and making things dull. Making demands to a boss, may have you bored at home. Lucky number: 753. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): Running away may seem like a good idea. Any action you take stirs things up. Keeping the peace may be secondary to making a needed change. Lucky number: 352. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): You may be in a position of power within the family. Some shift has put you in charge, or your advice is needed. Longterm role becomes altered even if you don’t at first notice it. Lucky number: 210. SPR

team that will travel to Gijón, Spain, Sept. 24 to 25 for the Short Course Duathlon World Championships, his first international competition. His intensity has not slacked this year. He began what could be his last amateur spell by claiming 10th place at March 27’s Powerman Alabama USAT Long Course Duathlon National Championships in Pelham, Ala. The event, his first competing on a national level and riding aboard his beloved Kestrel 4000, saw him finish in just over three hours. Though distances vary, duathlons include a run, a bicycle ride and another run. In Alabama, Reitinger ran nearly 12.5 miles and biked about 37.3 more. Triathlons add a swimming component. He returned to Rutgers April 17 to forge an 11th-place outcome at the Unite Half Marathon. Saturday’s trip to the Grand Canyon State featured a course half that of his Alabama mission, and Reitinger concluded in a swift 91 minutes. “It seems this year I am locked into that 10th to13th place range,” he said with a laugh. The Alabama result qualified him for the date-to-be-de-

REITINGER IS A disciple of feeling everyone has a shot. Involvement with Teach For America, a nonprofit that unites ambitious teachers with schools in low-income communities, brought him to Harrity, where he is in his second year of teaching special education classes. “I teach eight sixth-graders and five seventh-graders math and reading,” he said. “The kids are great.” Attending class twice a week, next year he will earn another perk from his time with Teach For America, a master’s degree, with a concentration in special education. “Philadelphia was my first choice, so I am thrilled to be here,” he said. “I would have been hard-pressed to go somewhere else, especially since most of my support system is here.” Ricci certainly counts as the main chunk of his circle. “She doesn’t compete, but she is an avid spectator. She’s great at learning terminology and keeping me informed of my times,” he said of his companion. She also assists with his meals, which he supplements with soft pretzels. “I’ll eat like four or five before training sessions,” he said of his passion for the doughy delights. Reitinger will use this season as a barometer for his professional aspirations. If he makes the leap next year, he will not need to relocate and his schedule will become more compact. “I will have my four focus races,” he said of what would represent a trimming of his obligations, which this year consist of seven events. Not needing to flee would also allow Reitinger to continue to instruct his students. “They love exposure to things they are not used to,” he said of his 13 charges, who gain help in geometry by using images of him to determine the lengths of the angles his body assumes during competition. Regardless of whether he goes professional, Reitinger will experience newness next year. Though he will be only 29 when ’12 begins, he will race in the 30 to 34 group, as competitors enter brackets corresponding with what their age will be at the end of a season. “This year will be the end of an era. However, I am looking forward to joining what is often the most competitive group,” he said while inspecting one of two tattoos inspired by the English rock band Radiohead. “I’m positive I can make it work well.” SPR

hirteen tattoos adorn the sculpted body of Erik Reitinger. Reflections of his musical and literary interests, the additions give his competitors plenty to inspect as he runs and rides past them. The resident of 13th and Jackson streets has used his decorated limbs to situate himself among the top American multisport specialists, as Saturday’s 13th-place result in the USAT Duathlon National Championships in Tucson, Ariz., proves. This year marks the fourth season of multisport competition for the 28-year-old athlete. Having rowed for Erie’s Mercyhurst Prep School and New Jersey’s Rutgers University, Reitinger chose loyalty to one of his favorite pursuits, finding new challenges, by trading a boat for strides and rides. “I reached a point where I craved something else, where I felt I had achieved all I wanted within the discipline,” he said of entering the multisport world, where he engages in triathlons and duathlons. Reitinger made his switch in 2007 and moved to South Philadelphia two years later after stays in Center City and West Philadelphia. “South Philadelphia is so appealing,” he said Monday morning before heading off to teach at Mastery Charter Schools’ Harrity Campus in West Philadelphia. Part of the area’s allure derives from his ability to use FDR Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, and the South Philadelphia super site, 10th and Bigler streets, as training sites. Each trek to the locations cements his athletic dedication, but it also reveals his stellar time-management skills, as Reitinger must balance his competitive identity with his teaching career, a nearly four-year relationship with Lisa Ricci and the completion of graduate studies at Chestnut Hill College. His sporting discipline has made the last 16 months his most fruitful. “It all came together for me last year. I felt great about my finishes,” he said. Reitinger blazed through the tri-state area last year, scoring a second-place showing at the Lighter Than Air Duathlon in Lakehurst, N.J.; victories at the Lums Pond Triathlon and Duathlon in Bear, Del., and Cape Henlopen Triathlon and Duathlon in Lewes, Del.; and a respectable 96th-place effort in November’s Philadelphia Marathon, among 13 impressive endeavors. His campaign garnered him his first All-America honors, a career-best No. 4 USA Triathlon ranking among amateurs ages 25 to 29 and a coveted spot on the U.S.

termined Long Course Duathlon World Championships, and the Arizona experience boosts his confidence for May 15’s American Zofingen Duathlon & Iron ITT in High Falls, N.Y. “I think I have a shot to win that one,” he said.
