Innocence and guilt

To the Editor: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe anything grieves or pains me more than a person convicted of a crime that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit. Some are serving as much as one third of their life in prison. Finally, they are released after DNA evidence proves them not guilty. How do you right a wrong so dreadfully horrendous in its scope that costs a man so much of his life? He is given the trivial sum of 10 or 20 thousand of so-called compensation and sent merrily on his way. I think he should be given a new house, a car and a monthly stipend, but it still will not make up for what was taken from him in such a mean-spirited way. Then there is the truly reprehensible miscarriage of justice that entangles justice in such a vicious web of deceit and trickery that allows an unquestionable piece of dirt to thumb his nose at the whole country. He was seen

by witnesses pointing a gun at a policeman and firing at him. The bullet inside of the policeman matched the gun that the killer used, yet the defense claims he was framed? What more do you need to convince you of the positive proof of guilt? There is supposed to be a law that you are not to profit from a commission of a crime you are found guilty of and imprisoned for, but according to a recently published report, Mumia Abu-Jamal produces books, radio commentaries and does guest teaching by phone at top universities. What did these people see that all of us could not? Why do racial overtones have to fit into what is so obvious that continues to set back equal justice under the law for all of us? Jamal is obviously of genius intelligence and is using it to the best of his ability and twisted mind that makes him even more dangerous. Now the topper

of it all: He was permitted to make a movie about himself that makes him a candidate for sainthood. What a shame that such a strong mind became so decayed and rotted and caused such blindness to others and the law. Capital punishment is wrong, but for Mummia Abu-Jamal, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exception thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right.

Marian Anderson

—Bill Gelman, editor

Editorial by Bill Gelman, Amanda Snyder and Joseph Myers

Marian Anderson

nderson, a South of South native, broke color barriers, becoming the rst AfricanAmerican to perform at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 1935 and the White House the following year. When the Daughters of American Revolution refused her presence at Constitution Hall, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes invited the contralto to perform at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday in ’39. About 75,000 spectators gathered for what was the Washington D.C. location’s biggest crowd to date. Four years later, the group welcomed her to its stage. Anderson died in Portland, Ore. in 1993 due to congestive heart failure after suffering a stroke. A recreation center bearing her name at 744 S. continued on page 9

he South Philadelphia Walk of Fame. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? It certainly wouldn’t take long coming up with a list of famous people who once called this area home. Some might remember the South Philly Famous 500 issue from 1996 that included what seemed to be a never-ending list of comedians, musicians, radio personalities, politicians and others. You may have saved the collectors’ issue and refer to it when that need to reminisce about the golden days — or the Golden Boys — comes around every few years. Well, like old news, we sometimes forget about these famous stars of yesteryear, who have either passed on or have fallen into the no-longer-famous category. Others are still making a name for themselves today. In a recent brainstorming session, the idea of creating a South Philly Walk of Fame — in print only for now — came about. Based on the criteria that these individuals once have appeared on the pages of the Review and accomplished something that earned them notoriety beyond the South Philly limits, each year, starting with this issue, a new list of inductees will appear. Since this idea is being built from scratch, the Review selection committee has compiled the inaugural list of 30 obvious, must-be-included names. We are aware that some of our readers may be disappointed that someone was left out of the issue, so feel free to let us know. Readersubmitted nominations will be taken into consideration for future Walk of Fame issues, so don’t hesitate sending them our way. Now, instead of boring you with long acceptance speeches and annoying commercial breaks, we’ve consolidated this year’s list of honorees to an eight-page spread. Who knows, maybe one day, someone will draw up the blueprints to create an actual Walk of Fame along East Passyunk Avenue or in The Philadelphia Navy Yard. Any takers? Without further delay, let’s welcome in the Class of 2013. Feel free to applaud along the way.

The native of the 300 block of Snyder Avenue was South Philadelphia’s representative in the legendary Rat Pack performing alongside the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin and Peter Lawford. The former Whitman resident, who was born Joseph Abraham Gottlieb, also left his mark on the small screen on NBC’s “The Joey Bishop Show,” which ran from 1961 to ’65. In ’62 he was nominated for Golden Laurel Top Male New Personality. He also appeared with his fellow Rat Packers in the ’60 and original version of “Ocean’s Eleven.” The South Philadelphia high attendee,

The Queen Village product and alumnus of the Southwark School showed off his musical mastery during the trio’s run, too, as he occasionally wielded a violin in episodes, having learned to play as a boy to strengthen an arm that had suffered damage from an acid burn. Fine briefly boxed, too, but elected to become a humorous heavyweight who posthumously received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1983.

He earned his big break when Columbia Pictures inked his movie deal and also launched his music career when he sang the title song and “There’s No Such Thing as the Next Best Thing to Love” in his debut feature. He went on to appear on the big screen 18 more times, including “Gidget” sequels and “The Guns of Navarone,” in addition to various small-screen appearances with “T.J. Hooker” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.” During his time on “T.J.,” he picked up directing, a skill he has contributed to other hit shows, such as “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Melrose Place.” He continued his success in the music business with “Goodbye Cruel World,” a No. 1 hit that received a Grammy nomination, as well as “Angel Face” and “Her Royal Majesty.”

The native of the 2500 block of South Fifth Street recorded 22-consecutive hit records. The great run to stardom began with the 1950 release of “Thinking of You,” which made Billboard’s Top-50 List and the publication named Fisher America’s Most Promising Male Vocalist in its annual disk-jockey poll. “Oh! My Papa,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Lady in Spain” are a few of the other hits that followed. The Whitman native hosted his own show during the 1950s entitled “Coke Time” that resulted in a $1-million contract to become the company’s national spokesman. A ’58 Golden Globe for Best TV Show soon followed. The ’46 South Philadelphia High grad also earned two Emmy nominations in the Best Male Singer Category. Fisher passed away in 2010 at the age of 82.

is last name implies doubt, but Gamble has proven himself a reliable individual in two elds. The 69-yearold product of 15th and Christian streets catapulted to the top of the music industry through his 1971 co-founding of the Center City-based Philadelphia International Records, a venture that has seen him write and produce works for artists such as The Jacksons, Lou Rawls and The O’Jays. A member of the Dance Music, National Academy of Songwriters and Rock and Roll halls of fame, he also earned a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in ’99 for having a hand in the creation and promotion of more than 3,000 songs. Celebrating his 20th anniversary as the founder of Universal Companies, which strives to enhance community growth, especially for African-American families, in his native South of South, Grays Ferry and Point Breeze, Gamble is striving to build up the next generation of societal contributors through helping to helm the Universal Audenried Charter High, Institute Charter and Vare Charter schools.

While Girard resided at Water and Market streets, he owned a large parcel of land in Passyunk Township and a farmhouse, that still stands in Girard Park, 2101 Shunk St. Upon his death from influenza and pneumonia in 1831 at the age of 81, he left much of his estate to the City in his will that required them to use the funds for a school for “poor, white, male orphan[s],” now known as North Philly’s Girard College. He also forbid the City to sell his farmhouse, so it erected rental homes and named the community Girard Estate.

In addition to his contribution to the “Star Wars” universe, he helmed ’83’s “Never Say Never Again,” allowing him to say he furthered the James Bond saga, too.

Word on the Street “Passyunk Avenue because I think it really represents what South Philly is.

There is not as much crime because there is always people around where the restaurants are.” Tony Par, Morris and Passyunk Streets

iving only to 38, Lanza has left many admirers wondering what he might have produced. The lauded tenor and native of the 600 block of Christian Street made many successful recordings and lm appearances, including a portrayal of his operatic idol Enrico Caruso in 1951’s “The Great Caruso,” a box ofce smash. Born Alfredo Arnold Cocozza in 1921, the Bella Vista product commenced his opera career at 21, with his talent, which experienced a hiatus during his World War II time in the U.S. Army Air Corps, eventually scoring him deals with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and RCA Victor.

They teamed up to form a jazz duo in high school and played local clubs and dance halls even though their instruments were not part of the jazz scene in the 1910s. Lang, a native of Seventh and Clymer streets, became an accomplished accompanist on guitar and banjo, working alongside Louis Armstrong, The Dorsey Brothers and continued on next page

“The Mummers. They’re a big, important tradition here.” Harry Williams, Fourth and Hoffman streets

“The sports teams. Everyone goes crazy over them.” Danielle DiIlril, 10th and Wharton streets

“The new business in the area. There are all these new restaurants that are bringing more of a young crowd back into the area.” Bob Taylor, 17th and Pierce streets

“Passyunk Avenue has an everything atmosphere, food, nightlife and a lot of diversity.” Samantha Lane, Fifth and Tasker streets

“Immigration over the past 20 years. There is diversity all over South Philly, Asians have moved here, along with Mexicans, and the Italians are still here. This is where the diversity is.” Mike Henkel, Broad and Porter streets

The other Emmy honor came in ’64 for his role as Joe Larch in “The Defender.” He appeared alongside former co-star Tony Randall in the ’83 TV Movie “The Odd Couple: Together Again.” Klugman, who passed away in December at the age of 90, also starred on Broadway in ’98 in Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys.”

ennsport native McElhenney, 36, has served as writer, producer, director, actor and creator for his hit comedy TV show, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” whose ninth season will air this fall. McElhenney, who hailed from Moya-

ella Vista’s Medeiros, 62, began his career in advertising before selling his jokes for a few bucks. He later went on to write for some of comedy’s biggest names. The then-Glenside resident took a comedy-writing course and sold his “homework” for $2 to $10 each. After a suggestion from fellow South Philly native Gene Perret prompted the native of Sixth and South streets to join a Los Angeles-based aspiring comedy writers group, he sent some material to Jay Leno while he was in Valley Forge for a show. The comedian soon offered him a job, as did Bob Hope. Upon Johnny Carson retiring, Medeiros moved out to L.A. to work for Leno, eventually becoming his head writer until the show ended in 2009. He briefly worked on “The Jay Leno Show” before turning his attention to Midair Rose Productions Inc., a company he formed in 1999.

Nathan Morris

member of Boyz II Men, Morris, formerly of South of South, has reached global success with classmates at High School for Creative and Performing Arts. Originally from Southwest Philly, Morris started singing in church at age 7 before his grade school teacher directed him to William Meredith School, which was formerly a performing arts middle school. The then-17th-and-Christian-streets resident was accepted at CAPA where he found others with his passion, including cofounder of the group, Marc Nelson. Members came and went throughout Morris’ high school years, but the then-quintet Unique Attraction received its big break upon sneaking backstage and performing for New Edition’s Michael Bivins in 1989. The group has released hits, such as “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love To You” and “On Bended Knee” and has won four Grammys. The R&B trio’s latest album,

The Point Breeze native moved to Los Angeles in ’69 to work on a variety show and ended up signing on as legendary entertainer Bob Hope’s head writer. The duo continued working together up until Hope’s retirement. The former resident of the 2200 block of Sigel Street, who attended St. Edmond, also worked on several other popular television sitcoms including “Welcome Back, Kotter” that featured a very young John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino and “Three’s Company.” While he may have stepped away from the small screen, he is still enjoying life in the Golden State with wife Joanne, a fellow St. Edmond grad. The couple will be celebrating its 55th anniversary this year.

Lisa Scottoline

Bobby Rydell

Frank Rizzo

ccasionally brash yet usually revered, Rizzo Sr. continues to appeal to South Philadelphians nearly 22 years after his death. The native of the 2300 block of South Rosewood Street sought to uphold order as the Philadelphia Police Department’s commissioner from 1967 to ’71 and furthered his civic adoration as the city’s 93rd mayor from ’72 to ’80. The Girard Estate product, an alumnus of then-Edwin H. Vare School, 2100 S. 24th St., belonged to St. Monica Church for the first 17 years of his life and aided the site’s restoration following a ’71 fire. Once

Breeze, whose hip-hop culture inuenced the future Grammy-Award-winner as both of his parents were killed — his father in his early days and his mother during college. While attending the High School for Creative and Performing Arts, the resident of 23rd and Watkins streets met Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson and formed The Square Roots. After reshaping the name and adding more members, the group went from playing talent shows to booking clubs in Philly and New York. Since then, it has won four Grammys and has served as the house band for Fallon for four years and will continue with him on his journey as he takes over “The Tonight Show” next season.

he became a political powerhouse, Rizzo called on his faith for guidance and looked to dish out his brand of tough love whenever necessary, thus becoming a polarizing official. Succumbing to a heart attack at age 70, Rizzo remains artistically apparent through a statue outside of Center City’s Municipal Services Building and a Bella Vista mural.

outh Philly is so proud of Rydell that the 2400 block of South 11th Street where he grew up was named after him (Bobby Rydell Boulevard). The Lower Moyamensing product, who was born Robert Ridarelli, continues to maintain his strong local fan base as a multi-time Readers’ Choice winner as most beloved South Philly Celebrity. Only Rocky, who is a ctional character, has what it takes to contend with the legend. But Rydell also developed quite the national following for his voice in which several of his records went gold, including his 1959 hit “Kissin’ Time” that transformed him into a teen heartthrob. “We’ve Got Love,” “Volare,” “Wildwood Days” and “That’s All” are just some of the others that followed. On the big screen, he appeared in the ’62 Oscar-nominated movie “Bye Bye Birdie” as Hugo Peabody. Rydell still performs on stage several times a year, including a November Malt Shop Memories cruise.

Lisa Scottoline

cottoline continues to prove that quality and quantity matter equally to contemporary authors. The awardwinning scribe and native of the 1100 block of Daly Street has penned 20 wellreceived novels, with delighted readers across the globe tearing through more than

30 million copies. The Lower Moyamensing product earned an English degree and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. Using the legal world as inspiration, Scottoline, the 1995 Edgar Award honoree for Best Paperback Original Mystery, has crafted layered looks at human interaction and has served as the president of Mystery Writers of America and as a faculty member at her Ivy League alma mater. The 57-year-old, who resides in the Philadelphia area, writes a weekly column for a local publication and will issue “Accused,” a thriller set at an all-female law firm, in the fall. Anna Verna

The Point Breeze product retired last year after a 13-year stint as Philadelphia’s rst female City Council president and a 37-year tenure as the 2nd District councilwoman, the latter ofce allowing her to promote the welfare of multiple South Philly communities. Entered into the municipality’s annals as the longest-serving City worker, council member and president, the Packer Park resident often fought for better senior housing and secured a citywide ban on public drinking, the reduction of vacant spaces and the expansion of The Philadelphia Naval Business Center. Also eager to show pride in her Italian ancestry, she acted as the chairwoman for the Columbus Day Parade, which husband Cavalier Severino Verna co-founded in 1957, for 35 years. continued on page 66

The ﬁrst Noel A Pennsport resident will direct her performance art company’s take on a beloved fantasy novel. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

ith her 3-year-old son Singer as a major motivator, Jessica Noel is strengthening her robust appreciation for childlike innocence and youthful possibility. The resident of the 200 block of Manton Street will look to inspire similar gratitude Sunday when she helms an adaptation of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” at the Arts Bank, 601 S. Broad St. The creation will become the fifth production in the two-year existence of her Performance Art Club for Kids but the first since her Jan. 14 acquisition of studio space at 729 S. Fourth St. “When I choose works, I look for pieces that spoke to me as a child because I like to reach back,” the 30-year-old Pennsport dweller said Friday at her Queen Village facility. “These kids have become completely engrossed and passionate about the projects, which keeps me motivated to help them to love theater.” Noel is guiding 75 youngsters, most from the Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter, 2407 and 2600 S. Broad St., and William M. Meredith, 725 S. Fifth St., schools, through a reworking of C.S. Lewis’ 1950 fantasy book from “The Chronicles of Narnia” series. The latter institution had hosted her club since its inception and staged three shows before she devised a fall partnership with the Hawthorne location that welcomed her crew’s Dec. 15 treatment of “The Polar Express.” “Friends said I should contact Meredith to see about having an area for instruction,” she said of the elementary spot whose personnel subsequently assisted her in landing the neighboring expanse, where she teaches musical theater and ballet. “I’m grateful because I really want to take my inStaff photo by Greg Bezanis

THE IBHC STUDY

State’s Amarillo Little Theatre in 2001, she intensified her knowledge of children’s theatrical design, choreography and direction, with adapting and directing “Jack and the Beanstalk,” which her current corps also has acted out, among her accomplishments. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in performance studies from Texas A&M University, where she also tested her acting acumen as Nina in Russian playwright Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull.” Dance studios also came to rely on her to devise custom curriculum for their musical theater courses, another résumé enhancer upon her South Philly arrival. “It seems the city was calling me,” the Abilene, Texas native said of her at-large turf, which she admitted to having known little about prior to her move. “I’m glad it has because I love interacting with children as well as those in our adult classes

and being able to do what I want when I find a place for us to perform.” In addition to her soon-to-be quintet of pieces, Noel has worked as a teaching artist for the Philadelphia Arts in Education Partnership and has acted with Master Builder Productions at Plays & Players Theatre, both Center City entities. Those opportunities couple with her present occupation as studio head to give Noel additional insight into the need for artistic exploration, maturation and proclamation. That she has the task of imparting wisdom to impressionable enrollees, including her offspring, motivates her to be bolder and more daring for her profession. “It’s easy to stay passionate when you’re around so many spirited people, especially the kids,” Noel, who might come to create summer shows to give the youngsters three annual occasions to grow, said. As she prepares for Sunday, she is already pondering future presentations, including a “Pippi Longstocking” rendition. “For me, it’s theater or bust,” Noel said. “I love what this city’s scene has and could come to have for these children.” SPR

terests and be more encompassing, hence the use of ‘performance’ in our name.” Noel knew last year that Lewis would serve as her latest literary lion and immediately began to pen a script that leaves out the lauded novel’s Christian allegorical components because of her charges’ diverse backgrounds and uses pop, rock ‘n’ roll and Broadway selections. “We have a bit of everything, from The Beatles, The Eagles and Florence and the Machine to ‘Godspell,’ ‘Hair,’ ‘Singing in the Rain’ and ‘The Lion King,’” the director, who is calling upon John, her husband of five years, for technical input, said of the 90-minute brainchild, which includes hiphop and tap numbers. “We’re really looking to give kids a chance to improve their stage presence and are thrilled about this chance.” The budding talents offered a sneak peek at May 4’s South Street Headhouse District Spring Festival and have come to remind their overseer of the vibrancy she exuded as an ambitious Texas youth who would endow her neighbors with original plays. “In many ways, I’ve never parted with my childhood,” Noel, who uses “Art reflects life, and life is beautiful” as her motto, said. “That helps to inspire these children because I want to stay super positive and draw them as thespians into the

Last date

a summer night. It was so innocent it could’ve been a scene out of one of those beach movies with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. In my mind, it became some romantic short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The girl was just some apple-cheeked kid with short hair and bangs who laughed a lot, but in my mind she was another depiction by Fitzgerald of his doomed wife, Zelda. In the background, a tinkling piano played “All Alone.” When you experienced the heartbreak of the end of an actual relationship — and not some fantasy spinning in your head — you realized all the other depressing stuff was just practice. Yes, practice, Allen Iverson. It was all just practice we had been talking about. You started associating songs with those sad moments. Bobby Vinton’s “Blue Velvet” hit you in the pit of your stomach at the wrong time in a Wildwood bar after a breakup, but luckily you were with friends who laughed at you and forced you to laugh in return. It had all ended in some bad pub about a month before, to the soundtrack of Acker Bilk playing “Stranger on the Shore.” I still can’t listen to that one. Hardly remember the girl, but “Stranger on the Shore” never became a bizarre instrumental pop song from England for me that somehow made the charts. The song still makes me feel like a stranger on the shore. It suddenly dawned on me how we only remember our own heartbreak. In our minds, we were always the victim at the end of some sad summer love. They were always the cruel ones, inventing excuses for not wanting to date us again. We were always the humble knights of the lost lovers’ roundtable, devoted and yet scorned. Where were the memories of our own cruelty? Why wasn’t there a vivid memory of a night in San Antonio, Texas when we were the big shots in Air Force khakis, reservists playing at being wartime heroes, and they had brought in some young ladies from Southwest State Teachers’ College, the same place where Lyndon Baines Johnson had once taught? There was dinner at the Old Heidelburg, dancing afterward, and who knew what in the promise of that dark, warm night. You didn’t like your date. She was a late replacement, a plain-faced quiet girl. You thought you deserved Kim Novak, so you pointedly ignored her for most of the night. When you decided you’d do her a favor and ask her to dance, she said softly, “I don’t care to.” In retrospect, she didn’t miss much. It seems like 100 years ago, and maybe it was Floyd Cramer finishing “Last Date,” but there in your room, on a rainy morning, you wished you could apologize to that girl — apologize for possibly being one of the scars left on her heart.

Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), left, and Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan) return to the high-society spotlight in “The Great Gatsby,” which is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel.

Suffocating ‘Gatsby’ ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

s you’ve surely heard, Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” is more grand than great, a no-holds-barred spectacle that pumps up the sparkling volume of the 1920s, but doesn’t seem to grasp the thematic richness of its source material. A once-great maestro of razzle-dazzle, Luhrmann revamped Shakespeare with “Romeo + Juliet,” and merged pop standards with French decadence for the fab “Moulin Rouge!,” but his taste level has greatly dwindled, and here, we see his penchant for stylized overkill suffocate (what’s arguably) one of the greatest stories ever told. Granted, it’s bad practice to get hung up on the faithfulness of a film adaptation of a great work, as different mediums call for different techniques, and something as enduring as “Gatsby” certainly warrants a bold reimagining. So, let’s hold back on knocking the changes assigned to Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), who now narrates the tale from an asylum and eventually sees his written memoirs become F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel. But, did Luhrmann’s approach need to be so superficial and bombastic? In making Jay Gatsby’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) memorable bashes his jumping-off point, the director loses the story’s weight amid all the confetti, champagne and crazed cinematography. Aside from Maguire, who’s too earnest to play a character who needs some firm gravity, Luhrmann does cast the film exquisitely. DiCaprio achingly captures all the hope, delusions, and mythos of the enigmatic host, and Carey Mulligan seems to intimately know the ins and outs of Daisy Buchanan, Gatsby’s highbrow dream girl for whom he built his entire Long Island empire. (Additionally, Joel Edgerton, as

Tom Buchanan, and newcomer Elizabeth Debicki, as Daisy’s bestie Jordan Baker, are both extraordinary). But the virtues of “The Great Gatsby” are disappointingly few, as Luhrmann rarely gives the viewer the chance to swallow what’s being served, flooding the screen with formal overload that’s nearimpossible to appreciate. Flying down CG streets, breathlessly zooming toward people and buildings, and forcing an overcooked color palette like spilled paint, the filmmaker ultimately squanders all the fine tools at his disposal, from actors to timeless, priceless prose.

The Great Gatsby

PG-13 Two reels out of four Now playing at area theaters

Recommended Rental Side Effects

R Available Tuesday

Reportedly the final theatrical film from Steven Soderbergh, “Side Effects” is a tight, little thriller that takes aim at Big Pharma, telling the tale of a depressed young wife (Rooney Mara) who commits an unspeakable act, then launches an investigation that may pinpoint her medication as the true culprit. Tense and provocative, but overdone in parts (like a subplot involving Catherine Zeta-Jones), the movie furthers Soderbergh’s knack for experimentation, and also stars Jude Law and Channing Tatum.

guess there’s nothing like a cloudy, rainy morning to start reminiscing. Pandora Radio was playing on my computer when I heard the first notes of Floyd Cramer playing “Last Date.” And then my mind was really off into the ether somewhere. Perhaps there is no more intense emotion in our youth than heartbreak. We really never get over it. Sure, we’ve moved on. The person who meant so much to us back then is someone we can’t even picture today. What did she look like and what the hell was it about her that I liked so much? But as with long ago surgeries, the scars still remain. All that’s needed to recall the anguish is hardly anything at all, maybe only a few notes from Cramer’s piano, and then it all comes rushing back. Admit it. You can all recall every moment of each romance (and I use the word in its most general sense since most of what we called romance when we were young was just some indefinable longing). We might be at an age where we have trouble sometimes remembering a loved one’s birthday, but the heartbreak hangs around for a lifetime, and who knows, maybe even after we’ve left this godforsaken planet. Cramer still will be playing that riff from “Last Date” that must’ve been born on a rainy day like this one. The earliest memories might even go back to kindergarten if you were lucky like me to have a classmate like the girl with the dark eyes and ringlets for hair. Maybe for you it happened later on in school (it always starts in school, you know) with a lithesome girl with pale blue eyes and the slightest scar beneath her right eye, an imperfection that somehow made her seem even more beautiful. You never got more than a polite smile from her. Maybe she didn’t go for chubby-faced boys with messed up hair and protruding teeth that threatened to leave your mouth and go off and hide somewhere. Play that note one more time, Mr. Cramer. Who knew that was just the beginning of teen angst that often overlaps into the 20s without you quite realizing it. Trying to cover up the worst zits, to learn how to kiss a girl or to dance in front of a mirror and decide dancing probably wasn’t going to be your strong suit — it was all part of the pain of growing up. I remember a touch football game between guys and girls during college on

Theresa’s Easy Pulled Pork

Home opener

hef Joncarl Lachman has returned to his Philly roots, joining the booming and nationally recognized East Passyunk Avenue dinning scene with the grand opening of his BYOB Noord, 1046 Tasker St. The chef, who previously worked at Chicago’s Home Bistro, features a range of Northern European dishes, such as Amsterdam-style mussels and seared Norwegian salmon on the bill of fare. For more information, including reservations, call 267-909-9704 or visit noordphilly.com. SPR

root beer float with vanilla ice cream is a popular option this time of year. So is a chilled mug filled with said beverage sitting next to one of Theresa Strati’s Easy Pulled Pork sandwiches. However in this case, a cold glass of iced tea or water might go better. The resident of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street uses the soda in her not-so-secret sauce that she together with a more commonly used seasonal topping. As a finishing touch, Theresa suggests using either a bakery or kaiser roll for palate-pleasing results. SPR

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

2 pounds of boneless pork loin roast or tenderloin 12 ounces of root beer 18 ounces of barbecue sauce 8 hamburger buns, lightly roasted Coleslaw, for topping

Place the pork in a small slow cooker. Pour the root beer on top and cook for six hours or until meat shreds easily. Remove the cooked pork and shred with a fork. Set aside. Add the barbecue sauce to the root beer sauce and blend. Return the meat to the slow cooker. Make the sandwiches, and top with the coleslaw, if desired.

outside and creamy inside. The asparagus spent the right amount of time on the grill to impart a smoky flavor and aroma. My dinner came with a warm-from-the-oven biscuit. I slathered on some butter and homemade peach jam. I never say no to homemade jams and preserves. Edward’s Reuben ($12.50) was disappointing. You need a base of good Jewish rye bread with a crisp crust. The bread was limp, the corned beef for some reason tasted sweet but it did contain a bit of fat. The sandwich was topped with Russian dressing and sauerkraut. A small ramekin of health slaw came with the Reuben. All in all I have to say is Honey’s Sit ’N Eat on South was an enjoyable experience. = Very Good

Kudos to Mike, our server, who took care of us and offered me a special treat. “Here’s a ramekin so you can take some peach preserves home with you,” he said. We’ll be back for brunch. Three tips of the toque to Honey’s Sit ’N Eat on South. SPR

n September, I finally made it to Honey’s Sit ’N Eat in Northern Liberties (Sept. 27, 2012) for a delicious, moderately priced brunch. There is always a long wait to dive into eggs, grits, potatoes pancakes and sandwiches on any given weekend. Brunch was so tasty, I wanted to try lunch at Honey’s. I never made it to lunch because of all the new restaurants I wanted to review. Several weeks ago, I learned Honey’s opened a second location on South Street. The dinner hour beckoned so with a bottle of Côtes du Rhône in tow, Edward and I headed over to South Street. Like its sister location, Honey’s is cash only. It is a bright, airy, open room with an engaging staff that leaves you to enjoy your conversation and meal. We sat next to a boy, who was having a jolly time in the high chair munching on scrambled eggs and toast, and his parents. This must be one of the most kid-friendly restaurants in the city. Breakfast/brunch is served during dinner, but I wanted to sample Honey’s brisket because it caught my eye during my previous visit. Specials are written on a blackboard, and a number of items offered are in season. I began dinner with a cup of matzo ball soup ($3). Huzzah! The rich, homemade broth twinkled with chicken fat although it did need a touch of salt. It was brimming with carrots, onions, celery and fresh herbs, but the light-and-fluffy matzo

ball — a floater — was the star. A platter of fried green tomatoes ($6.25) brought smiles all around. Six thin slices of tomato were dipped into a perfectly seasoned batter and quick fried to a golden brown. They were crisp and grease-free on the outside, soft inside. A ramekin of Ranch dressing came with the order along with a small mound of fresh greens and grated carrots. Ramps have been lighting up the culinary Twitter sphere for the past month. They are thin, wild leeks, which turn delightfully sweet when grilled. Honey’s did a masterful version ($5) because the chefs chargrill the ramps and set them along side a pool of rich, homemade romesco sauce. This classic from Catalonia, Spain is made with a mix of finely ground tomatoes, red peppers, onions, garlic, bread, almonds and olive oil. This sauce was so outrageously delicious, I scraped every bit of it off from my plate. Brisket tacos ($12) were on the menu, but I asked our server if I could have a brisket platter ($15). “I don’t see why not,” he said with a smile. Brisket should be sliced across the grain for even slices, but the chefs here shred it into strings because it is used to stuff tacos. The beef was nicely seasoned, but the texture did little to tempt my taste buds. It was a bit chewy. From the sides I chose a potato latke and local asparagus. I have never seen a latke in the shape of a triangle, but it was golden and crisp on the

but instead of choosing one of the dishes from his 200-plus page paperback, the multi-tasking South Philadelphia High, 2101 S. Broad St., alum is passing along the recipe for Chicken Trombino, which is named after longtime general manager Ron Trombino. “[Chicken Trombino] is easy to do, light and healthy,” Jimmy Rubino Jr. said.

INGREDIENTS

INGREDIENTS: For the cooked garlic: 40 garlic cloves, peeled 5 cups of olive oil

DIRECTIONS: Mince the garlic in the food processor. Add 4 cups of the oil to a large frying pan over a medium flame. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, and lower the flame. Sauté the garlic until it becomes golden. Pour the mixture into a metal container and add the last cup of oil to stop the cooking process. Cool, then refrigerate.

orking 16-hour days might not sound like an appetizing concept, but Jimmy Rubino Jr., — the fourth generation of his family to maintain the legacy of running Ralph’s Italian Restaurant, 760 S. Ninth St., – said, “It’s in my DNA.” Founded by his great grandfather Francesco Dispigno in 1900, and named for his son, the restaurant’s baton and recipes have been passed along to keep this historic landmark going. “You don’t want to be that generation that says ‘I don’t want to do it,’ Rubino, who currently shares ownership of the Bella Vista eatery with his older brother Eddie Rubino. Ryan Rubino — Jimmy Rubino’s 26-year-old son — also is involved in operations at the Sheraton Valley Forge location. In 2000, Jimmy Rubino Jr. coauthored a book with Ted Taylor entitled “Ralph’s Italian Restaurant, 100 Years and 100 Recipes,”

www.psravioli.com P&S Ravioli Company traces its roots in South Philadelphia back to 1966 when the DiGiacomo brothers, Primo and Secondo, emigrated from Abruzzi, Italy and opened a small store at 22nd & Moore Sts. From that moment on, the success of P&S Ravioli Co. rapidly increased. In need of more space, the brothers expanded to a larger headquarters and operating plant at 26th & McKean Sts. The rest, as they say, is history. Since then, P&S has grown to become a full service manufacturer of Italian Specialties. a delicious hearty hoagie, or fresh gourmet lunch meats, P&S has it all.

South Philly’s Own Dr. Phil South of South Native Returns For A House Call

too sick to leave home? The Doctor makes house calls as well as holding regular office hours 6 days a week. “This is my dream workspace. I’ve always wanted to be able to practice community medicine in a convenient location to my patients. If this isn’t convenient enough… Then I’ll come right to their home!”

Born and raised in South Philly, Dr. Taormina takes the health of the South Philly community very seriously. “These are the people I grew up with,” said Dr. Taormina as he sat behind his desk in his new office. “I went to St. Monica’s for grade school, so a lot of these patients I’ve known for decades. It was important for me to be able to come back here and go to work directly in the neighborhoods I came out of. What could be better than improving the lives of the people in your home town?”

The new office at 13th and Wolf is conveniently located in the Heart of South Philly, with abundant free parking. What if you’re

n a cool Spring morning in South Philly, Dr. Philip Taormina is busy navigating through the streets of The City of Brotherly Love. Before he heads to his new office located at 13th and Wolf Streets he has a few stops to make. “In this day and age, house calls have gone by the wayside,” said Dr. Taormina as he knocked on his first of several home visits of the day. “The thing is, this is a time when many people have trouble navigating the neighborhoods around this area and need a doctor to come directly to them. That’s what this practice is all about- reaching the patients who need us as soon as we can.”

While they were sleeping A Point Breeze man was apprehended for allegedly committing multiple burglaries east of Broad Street. ■ By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

n Jeaream Newman’s alleged fifth attempt at breaking into residents’ homes by unlocking doors via their mail slots, he was caught after police found evidence linking him to his latest Passyunk Square burglary. Police spotted Newman on the 1700 block of Ellsworth Street shortly after he is believed to have swiped a MacBook Pro off of the bedroom floor of a 28-year-old woman inside her home on the 1000 block of Fernon Street at 5:35 a.m. Friday, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He is believed to have opened the front door via the mail slot, but the resident woke up as he was standing in her doorway. He fled with the laptop, but left evidence leading police to him. Upon searching Newman’s home, authorities located the stolen laptop. With further investigation, he also was linked to an attempted burglary on the 1000 block of Cross Street April 17 and 1100 block Cantrell Street April 22, as well as a burglary on the 700 block of Mountain Street April 17 and on the 1900 block of South Sartain Street April 22, Tolliver said. All of the break-ins occurred between 3 and 6:05 a.m. Newman was charged with five counts of trespassing, criminal mischief, theft and receiving stolen property; three counts of burglary; and two counts of attempted burglary, according to court records. He also was charged with an unrelated theft Friday. He previously pled guilty to a burglary in 2006.

Who shot the DJ? An area disc jockey was gunned down inside a Queen Village ice cream shop located below his second-floor apartment. Police responded to the 200 block of South Street for a person with a gun at 3:25 a.m. Saturday, Officer Christine O’Brien of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. A witness directed responding officers to Häagen-Dazs, 242 South St., where they located Thomas Watson, 36, also known as DJ Fenicx, with a gunshot wound to his head and left side of his torso. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene at 3:37 a.m.

Investigators believe as he entered the ice cream shop, which he used to access his apartment, two unknown men attacked him in an attempted robbery, but police did not have any suspects at press time. To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Crime of hunger A robber claimed he was “just trying to feed [his] family” as he held up a pizza deliveryman in Whitman Monday. The 43-year-old pizzeria employee parked his car on the 2600 block of South Lawrence Street at 9:48 p.m. when he noticed two suspicious men across the street from his delivery destination. When no one answered the door at the address, he headed back to his car. En route, one of the men ran toward him and pointed a gun at his throat and said, “Where is the money? Drop all your money on the ground.” The victim tossed about $800 to the street as the gunman said, “I am not going to shoot you. I am just trying to feed my family.” He then yelled to his accomplice, who was ransacking the worker’s vehicle, “Jonah, pick up the money.” “Jonah” grabbed the cash, and the pair fled in an unknown direction. The gunman was described as black, age 18 to 20, 5-foot-9, 170 pounds and wearing a dark-colored hoodie. A detailed description of “Jonah” was not available at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms. SPR Comment at police-report.

What do you say about a person like Don Capo? What do you poem about a poet? What do you write about a writer? How long do you run with a runner? How often do you pedal before you become a cyclist? How often must you volley before you become a racquetball player? How many haircuts must one give before you become a barber? How many lives do you touch before you are a saint? Don loved life and all its joys and all of its unexpected hurdles. He was one of the nicest, kindest and loving person God has put on this earth. Don was one of those special few. His thoughts and memories are in our hearts and minds. Don was kind and giving, always doing for others and asking nothing in return. Everything he did, he did it as best as he could.

ifornia’s Cow Palace. Born Carmine Tilelli, the Brooklyn native who grew up at 11th Street and Moyamensing Avenue earned his permanent spot in boxing history with a 1993 induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The honor came several years after Giardello hung up his gloves in ’67. He passed away in 2008 at the age of 78. continued from page 18

John Chaney

Paul Arizin

hen one glances over the list of the NBA’s 50 greatest players of all time, Arizin might not be a name that immediately rolls off the tongue like Chamberlain, Jordan and Johnson, but this former St. Monica grade school pupil certainly left his permanent mark on the game. Arguably the greatest basketball player to come out of South Philly, the 1978 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee amassed career totals of 16,266 points and 6,129 rebounds. Arizin, who passed away in 2006 at the age of 78, went from attending Villanova University without a scholarship to being a 10-time NBA All-Star and two-time league scoring champ. Of course, in this land of not-so-frequent championship teams, old-timers may remember Arizin being a key member and leading scorer of the Philadelphia Warriors’ 1956 title squad.

John Chaney

hile Chaney, 81, was born in Jacksonville, Fla., his family relocated to Point Breeze where the future basketball coach attended Nor-

ris S. Barratt Middle School and watched pick-up games in its packed schoolyard. The then-resident of 17th and Ellsworth streets earned Public League Player of the Year in 1951 at his North Philly high school. After college, he briefly joined the Harlem Globetrotters and played in the Eastern Pro League for a decade. As a coach, he spent time at city schools before getting an opportunity at Cheyney State College, a Division II school he led to a championship in ’78. Four years later, the now-Mount Airy resident headed to Temple University where he led the Owls to 17 NCAA Tournament trips — five straight in the ’80s and 12 more between ’90 and 2001, including five to the Elite Eight — and a No. 1 national ranking to finish the 1987-’88 regular season. These accomplishments brought Chaney two Division I Coach of the Year awards and a total of 516 wins for the Owls before he retired in ’06.

Angelo Dundee

esides being former world champions, Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard share another common bond — Dundee. The late-East Passyunk Crossing product, who once called the 800 block of Morris Street home, had a knack for transforming pugilists into champions, training 15 of them to be exact. Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992, this South Philadelphia High alumnus, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 90, devoted more than six decades to the ght game. With South Philadelphia having a long list of made-it-big pugilists who went on to become world champions, one may question how the former Angelo Mirena

Angelo Dundee knocked the others off the list. Well, when you’re talking about the man responsible for molding “The Greatest of All Time” into a world champion, further elaboration is no longer needed. Earl “The Pearl” Monroe

S Joey Giardello

Joey Giardello

n the Olympic Games, boxers are awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. However, when a pugilist builds a career résumé such as the one Giardello did, they earn the distinction of being bronzed for life (take a stroll to Mifin Street and East Passyunk Avenue). This former Lower Moyamensing resident was middleweight champion of the world from 1963 to ’65 and registered a career mark of 101-25-7. Giardello’s ring career took him from coast-to-coast and included appearances at Philadelphia’s Convention Hall, New York’s Madison Square Garden and Cal-

o revered for his grace and leadership skills that pundits dubbed him “Black Jesus,” Monroe scored 17,454 points during his 13-year professional basketball career, a tenure that included his winning the 1973 NBA championship as a New York Knick. The product of 26th and Manton streets earned numerous hardwood honors, notably enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in ’90 and placement on the league’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team in ’96. The 68-year-old Grays Ferry native, who last month published his autobiography, “Earl the Pearl: My Story,” oversees a candy company, runs an award-winning lm and music label and serves as a spokesman for a pharmaceutical drug provider’s Diabetes Restaurant Month campaign. He also has lent support to The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Health and The Literacy Foundation of New York, with civic recognition such as the YMCA Citizenship, Harlem Professionals Inspiration and The Paralysis Project of America Sports Legend awards complementing his hoops feats.

NEW RUBBER ROOFS

prayer to the holy spirit

Holy Spirit, You who make me see everything and who shows me the way to reach my ideals, You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and You, who are in all the instances of my life with me, I, in this short dialogue want to thank you for everything and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. AMEN. Thank You for your love towards me and my loved ones. Pray this prayer three consecutive days straight without asking for your wish. After the third day your wish will be granted. Promise to publish your dialogue as soon as your favor has been granted.
