ith the early afternoon sun beginning to blaze, a collection of South Philadelphia residents, bicycle enthusiasts and City representatives heard Mayor Michael Nutter reveal another component of the city’s quest for sustainability.

Continuing his undertaking to improve Philadelphia’s environmental prowess, Nutter, last Thursday, declared the Delaware River Trail, a multi-use recreational path starting at Pier 64, as a great achievement for the city. It completes the first phase of a project that will eventually stretch six miles and transform the waterfront from an underappreciated stretch to a maximized expanse.

“This trail symbolizes our reclaiming the waterfront for the future,” Nutter, donning a “Delaware River Trail” T-shirt over the customary duo of a dress shirt and a tie, said. As a facet of Nutter’s Greenworks Philadelphia plan to create the nation’s greenest city, the trail will help the waSee BIKE TRAIL page 10

Word on the Street

Letters

What are your thoughts on the proposed concept of a downsized Philly Live!?

Finding the true meaning

“I would rather see a shopping center than a sports bar. The Wachovia Center sells drinks, so a shopping center would be nice because of my age.” Arlene Amari, 13th and Titan streets

“I don’t like the fact that they are taking [the Spectrum] down. It’s a memorial. It’s a part of the city. Fans and teams were scared to come in.” Andy Huhn, 11th and Wolf streets

“The Spectrum had history, a lot of good shows [were] there. I don’t think they are going to take the business away from Center City. The Spectrum meant a lot to people. I think they should have left it alone.” Charmaine Warrington, 20th and Porter streets

“They should downsize, so people could make more money.” Sarah DeVaul, Ninth and Dickinson streets

To the Editor: I was deeply touched by the letter written by Thomas Scott (“Recognition of area heros,” May 27). The true meaning of Memorial Day seems to have been lost. My husband was in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal with three stars. He is now 87. Before that his father, an immigrant from Italy, enlisted in the U.S. Army in World War I. A young neighbor was killed in Korea. My son-in-law received two Purple Hearts in Vietnam. Over the past several years, I have written hundreds of letters to young and old veterans in military hospitals. I consider this a privilege. Memorial Day has become a time for shopping for clothing, automobiles, going to the beach, block parties, etc. If we would take a minute to visit the graves of some of these young heroes and those who were once young, we would find, in honoring them, the true meaning of Memorial Day.

To the Editor: Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty — which waives all penalties and half of the interest for anyone who pays Pennsylvania back taxes by June 18 — is now more than halfway over. It’s a hard deadline set by law and it will not be extended. People who owe back taxes should act quickly to take advantage of this generous, yet limited, opportunity to settle their debts. At midnight on June 18, the offer expires and an additional 5 percent penalty will be tacked on to all outstanding tax delinquencies. Through May 25, the Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty program received nearly 30,000 completed, or in-process, applications to pay more than $58 million in previously unpaid Pennsylvania back taxes. Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty is intended to net $190 million in much-needed revenue for the current fiscal year budget, and we have a way to go before meeting that goal. During the last Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty 14 years ago, 74 percent of payments were submitted in the

last two weeks of the program, so we know that many, many more taxpayers will be coming forward shortly. Avoid the last-minute rush and apply now. Online applications must be completed and submitted electronically and full payments for all outstanding tax liabilities must be made electronically or postmarked by midnight June 18. People and businesses that owe back taxes should visit www.PATaxPayUp.com today to explore the program and apply online. Assistance is available by calling 1-877-34-PAYUP (72987) weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., or by visiting a Revenue district office. More than 800,000 delinquent taxpayers across Pennsylvania owe back taxes and have only a few more weeks to settle up and pay their fair share for the programs and services that benefit all Pennsylvanians. More than 62 percent of the back taxes eligible for Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty are owed by businesses in delinquent corporation taxes, employer withholding and sales tax. Personal income tax delinquencies, which also include many small businesses, account for 33 percent of the total. Those who duck their obligations are breaking the law, plain and simple, and they increase the tax burden for the 97 percent of Pennsylvanians who do the right thing in paying state taxes on-time and in-full. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to settle back taxes with no penalties and half off the interest before time runs out. C. Daniel Hassell Pennsylvania Secretary of Revenue

Pooper scoop To the Editor: This is an open letter to the dog walkers in the area of Juniper and Sigel streets. The law states you must pick up after your pet. This doesn’t mean if you let them do their business in the middle of the street, you can leave it there. The law also does not mean you can bag the mess and then throw it under parked vehicles. It is bad enough that you are using our streets for your dog’s pleasure, as we all know you do not live on either

of these streets, but to have to step in your dog’s mess because of your ignorance is totally off base. It would be a shame to find your dog’s mess on your door step, wouldn’t it? Bill Haldeman South Philadelphia

Maintenance needed To the Editor: There are specific crews of workers relegated for the responsibility of repair and maintenance of bridges, highways, streets, roads and mass transit. They are there and have been there 24/7 throughout the years. So, where have they been hiding all the time they were supposed to be seeing to and maintaining these projects and necessary repairs? Bridges don’t fall apart overnight. You don’t wave a wand and find roads and highways have suddenly worn themselves out and crumbled. Mass transit is mostly a privately owned and operated business that keeps very large crews just for repairs and maintenance. All the manpower these people have kept on the payroll are crying poor again and suddenly need millions, almost bordering on billions, for these repairs when their workers were supposed to make sure these projects were cared for and kept in peak operation. How come suddenly all has gone completely to hell and rotted away? It’s too easy just to tell our legislators and senators what they want them to do and nevermind that all this is their fault to begin with, but to expect a big increase in their respective political campaign coffers. Just keep right on voting for who is supposed to be serving and looking out for us, but don’t expect any changes if you do. Why should they care? They know they’ll get away with it. Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

erfection. One of 20 ever – that’s what Roy Halladay accomplished last night. He entered the history books, and also logged the second-only perfect game in Phillies’ history. It was a high note — one spotlighted by his continuous insistence that Carlos Ruiz was really the mastermind behind the effort — and something that goes down for the ages. Halladay has been modest, unassuming and quick to put credit on everyone around him rather than take credit himself. Which is endearing and encouraging.

Unfortunately, the Phillies’ ace’s success has been somewhat overshadowed by the Phillies’ inability to put runs on the board. While we bask in the fading light of a brief spotlight in history, our season begins to disintegrate into the shadows. We need our stars to come alive, not on the mound, but at the plate.

Bachelor prank Four men covered another’s head with a black pillowcase and shoved him into a van last week. By Amanda L. Snyder R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

olice responded to the Chart House, 555 S. Columbus Blvd., at 3:22 p.m. May 26 where a manager of the restaurant witnessed four men exit a white Dodge Conversion van with maroon stripes, pull a 24-year-old man from a silver Honda Accord coupe that was driven by a woman, cover his head with a black pillowcase and throw him in the van. The vehicle was last seen driving south while the coupe headed north on Columbus, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The manager also provided a license plate number. Police obtained video of the drop-off from the Delaware River Waterfront Corp. and the registration address of the vehicle from the Morrisville Police Department, Tolliver said. The owner of the vehicle told police his son, who had helped to plan a bachelor party in Atlantic City for the 24-year-old, had the van. As it turns out, the female driver of the coupe was the 24-year-old fiancé of the man who police believed to have been abducted, Tolliver said. She told police that she dropped him off in the parking lot in the custody of his four friends. She handed one of his friends a bag from her trunk and drove home. Her fiancé and his friends drove to Philadelphia International Airport to pick up another companion before heading to Harrah’s Atlantic City. Police called the bachelor and confirmed that he was in Atlantic City, Tolliver said.

Queen Village double shooting

GETTING GREAT RESULTS FOR

YEARS

AND STILL GOING STRONG

Two men were shot last week on the 300 block of Christian Street although the suspects remain unknown. A 52-year-old was struck in the right hip while a 19-year-old was hit in the right leg at 10:42 p.m. May 27, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Police discovered the elder victim, who was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital by fire rescue, at the scene upon arrival. The teen was later found at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Ballistic evidence was recovered from the scene, but the victims were uncoop-

erative and did not provide a description of the suspects, Tolliver said. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Duo sentenced for murder Two men, who were convicted of robbing and murdering a local man in his Southwest Philadelphia furniture store in 2007, were sentenced to life in prison, according to court documents. Shawn K. Williams, 23, and Johnny A. Brown, 19, were sentenced May 24 for the murder of Anthony D’Antonio, 60, of the 2200 block of South 17th Street, who was shot once in the head in a robberygone-bad. A jury convicted the two of second-degree murder, robbery and criminal conspiracy March 5. Brown was also convicted of possession of an instrument of crime.

Strangers in the night A woman thought a couple was looking for a parking space in Queen Village when the passenger asked for directions before the driver tried to push her into the backseat. After the 27-year-old woman parked her car on the 300 block of Bainbridge Street at 8:53 p.m. May 27, she realized a dark, small coupe was slowly following her, but brushed if off thinking the occupants were looking for a parking spot, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Then as the car passed her, a woman in the passenger’s seat asked for directions to Cottman Avenue, Tolliver said. The man who was driving soon exited the vehicle, grabbed the 27-year-old’s hair and told her to get in the car. The woman screamed and swung her purse until he let her go, Tolliver said. The couple fled driving east on Bainbridge and north on Third Street. The duo was described as Hispanic and age 20 to 30. The driver was described as 6 foot to 6-foot-2, with tattoos on his face and wearing all black while the passenger had dark curly hair and was wearing dark clothing. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Police Report

Takeout taken

Brawl over a laptop

Three men robbed a pizza deliveryman of an order, cell phone and $12 in Point Breeze Friday. The employee of Domino’s Pizza, 2308 Oregon Ave., was making a delivery on the 2300 block of Mountain Street at 11:05 p.m. May 28, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When he approached the delivery address, three men surrounded him with one, who was carrying a silver revolver, asking, “where’s the money? Where’s the food?” The trio pushed him down on a step taking the bag containing a pizza and soda, his cell phone and $12. As the deliveryman escaped to his car, he heard a gunshot although it neither hit him or his car, Tolliver said. He drove to the 1st District headquarters, 24th and Wolf streets, to report the crime. Police recovered the Domino’s bag at the scene. The gunman was described as black, age 19 to 21, 5-foot-10 to 6 foot, with a light mustache and wearing a light gray hoody. The other two men were described as wearing dark-colored hoodies. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Two others ganged up on a male to try to steal his laptop as he walked home last week. A man approached the 27-year-old around 3:11 a.m. May 26 on the 700 block of Porter Street, pointed a small, black handgun and instructed him to drop his laptop, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He fired the gun, but the shot missed him as he pushed the offender’s arm away and wrestled him to the ground. During the fight, another man attempted to take his computer, Tolliver said. This man also struck him with the laptop and punched him in the head before the 27year-old pulled his hoody off. The men fled on foot without the laptop eastbound on Seventh Street. The first man was described as black, age 17 to 20, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10, with a dark complexion, and wearing a light gray hoody and dark jeans. No description was provided for the second suspect. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

A man was jumped and robbed after refusing to give a stranger a cigarette in the West Passyunk neighborhood Satuday. A 51-year-old man was walking on the 2200 block of Winton Street with his 39year-old girlfriend around 10:26 p.m. May 26 when a man, who was walking with two others, asked for a cigarette, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After the man declined to give him one, the offender grabbed the girlfriend while one of the other offenders knocked him to the ground and held him in a chokehold while the third man fished through his pockets taking $320 and a pack of cigarettes, Tolliver said. The third man also bent his fingers on the victim’s right hand backwards. The trio fled east on Winton. The man walked to Methodist Hospital where he was treated for sprained fingers. The suspects were described as black. The first was 5-foot-5, in his early 20s, thin and had braided hair. The second was 6-foot-4, with a dark complexion and was wearing a black hoody while the third was 6 foot and wearing a green hoody with a skull on it. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

News

BIKE TRAIL continued from page 1 terfront to “become one of the best waterfronts in the country,” Nutter said. Making it just that has fascinated Tom Corcoran, president of the Delaware River Waterfront Corp. (DRWC) that seeks to add recreational, cultural and commercial activities for Philadelphia residents and visitors. Last week brought the first significant piece of Corcoran’s mission to fruition. The trail winds from the Pier 70 shopping center to Washington Avenue. Its boundaries will eventually extend to Allegheny Avenue and already allow connections to the Schuylkill River Trail courtesy of Center City’s bike lanes on Pine and Spruce streets. A host of sources, including the DRWC, funded the $677,000 project, which comprised the remarking and widening of nearly 0.85 miles of existing trail and the addition of a half mile of new asphalt. Cleaning up and trimming the trail improves the view of the waterfront while new fencing, gates and custom trail signage elevate the trail’s aesthetics. It’s open to the public from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, weather permitting. Personnel from the DRWC will pa-

trol the area. The Center City District oversaw the trail’s design and construction, which occurred last fall, but property matters delayed the opening, Corcoran said. The DRWC had to obtain an easement, the right to use the real property of another without possessing it, from the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust and Liberty Landing — a condominium tower project. Paul Levy, the president and chief executive officer of the district, spoke of his belief in reviving the waterfront, which long ago parted with its heyday. “Unless people are between at least 60 and 70 years old, they have not seen the true waterfront,” he said. THE OLD WATERFRONT included what Nutter, Corcoran, Levy and 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco want the new rendition to emulate and surpass eventually, namely, opportunity. Years of neglect have deterred the area from actualizing its potential. DiCicco said he was thrilled to see “something neat on this grassy piece of land” and commended Penn Praxis, a division of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, for being persistent in its commitment to community development. “Their sticktuitiveness, if you will, is part of what makes today possible,”

With Mayor Nutter in the wings, 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco discussed the scenic benefits that the new trail will bring to the waterfront. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

News DiCicco said. Through projects such as the new trail, Nutter and City officials are seeking to make it so that all of Philadelphia’s residents have recreational opportunities within ten minutes of their residences. The trail will guarantee that 75 percent of the city’s inhabitants will be so fortunate, Nutter said. The trail’s current boundaries mean that bicycling lovers will likely reap the earliest rewards. Also in attendance were two representatives from the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia. In their roles as Bicycle Ambassadors, Brian Davis, 23, and Celia Marraro, 26, educate adult bicyclists on safety and motorists on sharing the road. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the ambassadors led a small group of cyclists and pedestrians along the open road. “Countless people have told me that bikers need more places to ride,” Davis, a West Philadelphia resident, said. “This trail represents how serious and committed the city is to making a bike-friendly Philadelphia. Philadelphia is like a pearl that needs to be cleaned and polished so its occupants can see it shine.” Marraro, who resides in Center City, loves helping Philadelphia to retrieve its luster. Through her outreach with the pub-

lic, she hopes to make Philadelphia more welcoming for all cyclists. Of their experience on the 1.3-mile tract, Davis and Marraro had nothing but praise to proffer. “The ride was great,” Davis said. “I look forward to seeing the trail completed to its full potential.” “The first 400 meters or so were great because they revealed the Delaware River’s habitat right to us in South Philly,” Marraro added. “Hearing and watching the boats in the harbor was a nice break from the sound and speed of cars on the freeway.” For Corcoran, the trail initiates the rejuvenation of the waterfront. “The longest trail begins with a single segment,” he said shortly before the ribbon cutting. “This is an appetizer — a teaser for the six-mile trail,” Levy said. That any semblance of a trail is accessible pleased pedestrian Ronald O’Reilly of the 800 block of Porter Street. “I doubted this trail would be ready before the end of summer,” he said. “What a great surprise to see it done before the end of spring.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

FLYERS continued from page 1 — as large as 20 Flyers fans — at his favorite spot since Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the New Jersey Devils. After the Flyers skated past the Devils in five games, the team trailed 3-0 in the second round against the Boston Bruins before tying up the series and coming from behind to win Game 7. The Flyers then secured their spot in the finals May 24 after eliminating the Montreal Canadiens in five games. It’s Philadelphia’s first finals appearance since 1997. While Lawrence is a faithful Flyers fan, he wouldn’t say for sure whether he thought this was the year the Flyers would hoist the Stanley Cup. “I’m very superstitious,” he said as he watched the game with his girlfriend and two friends. “I haven’t washed this shirt since December, so I won’t comment on that.” When his friends gave him a hard time after admitting that his Mike Richards T-shirt has endured about five months worth of games without being cleaned, he noted the Flyers are 25-2-3 when he wears the shirt. “I’ve got a phenomenal record with it,” he said. However, Gagne’s goal was not enough. His record tacked on another loss as the Flyers fell 2-1 Monday and 0-2 in the series, but Lawrence’s girlfriend, Erin MacCausland, of Medford, N.J., didn’t lose her faith. “My heart is broken now, but I still have hope,” she said. The couple believed the Flyers could turn it around upon returning home to the Wachovia Center for Game 3, which took place last night after press time, and tomorrow night’s Game 4 (8 p.m.) and a potential Game 6 Wednesday. “They’re gonna get cocky and they’re gonna fall,” MacCausland, who will be volunteering with her sorority from Drexel University in the concession stands for Game 4, said of the Blackhawks’ players. “Just like the Bruins,” Lawrence added. THE FLYERS BROUGHT the Stanley Cup finals home to the Sports Complex last night and the crowds of orange and black followed and will return tomorrow night with some red mixed in as the Phillies return home to face the San Diego Padres. The area may also be bustling again if the Flyers force a Game 6, which would be back in Philly Wednesday night as the Phillies face the Florida Marlins. The Sports Complex Special Services District labeled both tomorrow and Wednesday with a high neighborhood impact alert, which is given on days when more than 50,000 people are expected to attend events at the sports complex with attendance between the events estimated

A friend of the family, Chas Cave — donning a No. 22 Flyers jersey that he use to be able to wear equipment under as a youngster — has been anxiously awaiting another celebration on Broad Street for 35 years. “It was the Fourth of July and Mummers Parade rolled up into one,” the 13th-and-Ritner-Street resident said of the 1974 and ’75 parades. “It was a happy time for Philadelphia. It was important. When they won two years in a row, it changed Philadelphia.” He hopes that this is the year, but there’s only one way to accomplish that, he said. “Be Broad Street Bullies all over again,” Cave said. But the Blackhawks won’t roll over easily though, Steve Calcavecchia, of 18th and Wolf streets, who caught Game 2 at Philadium, said. “They’re even hungrier,” he said referencing Chicago’s 49 year Stanley Cup drought. While the Flyers have lost the last four times the team has appeared in the finals, the ’Hawks have lost their last five, with the team’s last Stanley Cup win occurring in ’61 over the Detroit Red Wings. To win, the Flyers will have to match the Hawks’ speed and energy, Calcavecchia, who hopes the Flyers take it in six or seven games, said. “I have to say ‘yeah’ [the Flyers will win] because I’m rooting for them, but if you put a gun to my head, I’d say ‘no,’” he said.

continued from previous page Philly, if there is a way to make the biking experience in Philly better, it’s our responsibility to act on that.” Set to graduate with a bachelor’s in English and a minor in studio art from New Jersey-based Rutgers University this June — which he transferred to three years ago — Hummel biked to school across the Ben Franklin Bridge since moving to his South Philly home two years ago. “I think [biking in Philly] is getting better, it can be pretty rough,” Hummel, 25, said. “I think you just have to have a lot of experience to say it’s safe, there are a lot of things you have to learn like avoiding single lane streets is the best way not to piss people off. It is really hard, but once you have a good route it is easy.” Though biking is a huge part of his life, the completely bike-centric line of apparel was an organic business growth rather than a conscious decision. After creating their pet project to raise money for a tandem bike, the unique design hit a chord with the local culture. “They just fit in with the neighborhood it seems,” Hummel, whose shirts are carried in three South Philly retail locations, said. “I think it’s a popular neighborhood, this part of the city, for startups to start a retail spot and there is a lot of young people that live here.” “b minus” apparel is sold in Bike Revolutions Boutique, 711 S. Fourth St., Nice Things Handmade, 1731 E. Passyunk Ave., and Girl. Bike. Dog., 23rd and Bainbridge streets. With the large biker culture in South Philadelphia, it became obvious “b minus” had hit a niche market. “We had one that was not a bike theme, it just said, ‘Clap Your Hands,’ in a cool type face Leah had made, but there wasn’t an easy way to relate to it. Bikes, people get it right away, our style fit the aesthetic appeal of bikers for some reason. [The original shirt] sold far and away the best,” he said. “b minus” integrated itself into the biking culture, and in turn has had its hand in improving it for all Philadelphians. “I just think raising the visibility and the work that [the organizations we support] do is one of the best ways to make [biking] safer,” Hummel said. “It is a cultural/ driver awareness thing rather than actual facilities issue, maybe.” Born in Pittsburgh, Hummel moved to New Jersey when he was in junior high school. Though he attended college close to home, he needed to stretch his wings and moved into Philadelphia to experience life on his own. “I always wanted to live in this city and it’s so close, I thought, if I can swing living not with parents, I should,” Hummel said. Schoolwork went well, but he needed another outlet outside of academia. “It was more of like we liked making

projects together, there was a lot of creative energy there. We were having fun doing it and we wanted to be distracted from our schoolwork, and it was kind of good distraction for us,” Hummel said of his collaboration with Cipolla. “[‘b minus’] was something to devote our time to, on accident, but something else would have happened anyway. “We just sort of, we thought we were in high school, we thought of ourselves more as B-minus students, not quite a C not quite a regular B.” And so the company was founded and continues to hand print silk-screened designs out of Hummel’s 16th-and-Federal home. With graduation approaching, he hopes to move the concept into a new phase. “I want to collaborate with local artist on a design that you can completely customize: There will be a background you can choose and then a range of items, range of bikes, range of accessories, and it will be screen-printed by hand and all drawn by different people,” Hummel, who has stirred up interest about his concept but not signed any specific talent to the idea, said. With a college course load, Hummel could only devote his spare time to his bike-themed duds but is looking forward to increased energy put into “b minus” while he also pursues a personal project. One further area of possible revamping is his allocation of donations. “My idea is to focus on one nonprofit for maybe six months or something, it’s a little more tangible, and then you can just write a check to them after six months,” Hummel said. “That way we can promote each other and I can expand it past just bike organizations.” Even if “b minus” chooses to work with other organizations not focused on biking, there are no plans to change the core concept and continue to focus on biking and bike culture. And the avid biker himself will continue to pursue his hobby and his passion. “I have a little, well, I call it an electronic ’zine that I publish on my site,” Hummel, who recently posted a multi-media account of his first trip around the bike path that circles Manhattan Island, said. “I’d like [‘b minus’] to be able to generate significant donations for people … I would like to have a decent presence in Philadelphia and be sort of like a force for change, you know?” And what of the original goal, the tandem bicycle? Well, it turns out good things do come to those who give back. “I actually got one for free from the T-shirt company. I had a personal essay class and a classmate read my essay and he ended-up checking out my Website and offered me a tandem for free,” Hummel said, adding with a laugh, “Our dream came true, but in another way.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

Notes from the apocalypse

Recording company intern Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), left, ﬁnds himself on a journey to get rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) to L.A.’s Greek Theater, which proves to be more than he bargained for.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

nother week, another harebrained comedy steeped in bad taste. Like “MacGruber,” the rock-star goose chase “Get Him to the Greek” uses its obscenity-laced, oversexed humor to make you laugh like a nut while you’re squirming with discomfort. But unlike “MacGruber,” this sorta-spinoff of the 2008 hit “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (also directed by Judd Apatow crony Nicholas Stoller), doesn’t stick to its absurdist guns or fully recognize itself as a shallow farce best enjoyed with its manic mojo amped up to full volume. Aaron (Jonah Hill) is a record company intern with a doughy physique to match his soft spot for the dying genre of rock and roll. When Aaron’s boss, Sergio (Sean “Diddy” Combs, screaming a lot), grills his underlings for cures for the company’s recessionary blues, Aaron’s passion yields the most promising proposal: Organize a comeback concert at L.A.’s Greek Theater for rocker Aldous Snow (Russell Brand, reprising his “Sarah Marshall” role), who years ago saw his career plummet and substance abuse skyrocket after his racist single offended the entire planet. Up against Sergio’s deadline, Aaron has 72 hours to get Aldous from London to the Greek, a journey fraught with detours involving things I can’t mention in print. This is a stupid idea for a movie. But, then, many ideas sound asinine and are actually peculiar enough to work (just ask the “Hot Tub Time Machine” guys). And, for a while, Stoller and co-writer Jason Segel sustain the mad dash across the pond by owning its inanity and piling on gags until the viewer is pounded into side-split-

ting submission. The talented Brand wears his role like a dirty leather glove, and some killer comedic moments are provided by co-stars Elisabeth Moss and Rose Byrne. The film turns sour when it starts reaching for a moral compass it wasn’t meant to carry. Two acts with no-holds-barred debauchery don’t warrant a third with all manner of false and cuddly character cleanups. For all its talk about “being rock and roll,” “Greek” succumbs to one crippling case of stage fright.

Recommended Rental Shutter Island R Available Tuesday With “Shutter Island,” the great Martin Scorsese takes a twisty, typically manipulative thriller and turns into an artful, riveting creepshow. Evoking classic Hollywood noirs and exhibiting its maker’s pronounced skill in creating a visceral sense of place, this mystery about the search for an escaped mental patient features a wrenching performance from Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as chilling supporting turns from Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams and Patricia Clarkson.

No ‘Greek’ picnic

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 3, 2010

s I write this, millions of barrels of oil are moving inexorably toward the Gulf Coast. Weather forecasters predict as high as 14 hurricanes might hit the mainland late this summer. The European economy hovers perilously on the brink of collapse. North Korea threatens an all-out war against the South. Millions of frogs cover a highway in Greece, and there are reports that Midwest America will suffer an infestation of grasshoppers soon. And, as they say, that’s the good news. Welcome to spring 2010. If you haven’t seen a crocus or a rosebud or a robin on the wing, it’s probably because they are buried under an oil slick. If you’re religious, you might think the End of Days is near. If you’re an atheist, you figure we rolled the dice again and it finally came up snake eyes. If you’re a Republican, you blame it all on Obama. If you’re a Democrat, you blame it on the eight years of George W. Bush and the deceitfulness of big oil companies such as BP. As a columnist, I’m just taking notes and trying to earn a buck. Acting as a dispassionate observer, I can’t get too concerned about the sudden appearance of frogs on a Greek highway. At least the frogs didn’t fall from the sky as in the Book of Exodus, and besides, Greece and the rest of the European Union — and because of our global economy, ourselves — have more immediate problems than frogs. The world economy is in the toilet because of what is happening in Europe. Those who believed in the “domino theory” during the Cold War are finally vindicated, but not the way they expected. Memo to the isolationists among us, what happens in Europe really does matter. The euro has about as much chance of surviving as Lindsay Lohan has of staying on the wagon. The sight of Germany reasserting its nationalism as Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain totter on the brink is not reassuring to those of us who lived through World War II (although we do have Quentin Tarantino who can make this scenario have a happy ending in his next movie). One wonders how much more the Gulf Coast can stand post-Katrina. The oil spill has likely wiped out its shrimp industry and another direct hit on New Orleans by a hurricane may be Mother Nature’s way of resolving the question of whether the Crescent City can ever return to normal.

Our luck, just when we had a plan to finally get our troops out of South Korea, crazy Kim starts acting up again. North Korea has nothing going for it (at least Toledo has Crystal Bowersox). War must seem like a good idea to get your people to stop thinking that about how miserable they are. I can offer no solutions for frogs, grasshoppers, storms or reasoning with little Kim, but I do have a suggestion about plugging up that hole in the deep water well — gather up all the BP oil execs, the government idiots on the Mineral Management Service (MMS) and toss in some execs from Goldman Sachs if you need more bodies. Shoot them into the hole and televise the event (CNN can use the ratings boost). The Republicans would like you to think that they can exploit the sluggish response by the White House on this ecological disaster. Since Republicans are the ones who cry for less regulation on corporations like BP, even the Tea Party might not see them as the solution on this one. And when will Sarah Palin ever be able to cry “Drill baby drill” again? I’m not letting Obama off the hook. How can this guy be the anti-Christ unless he becomes more competent? It took the worst environmental disaster in American history to get Obama to hold a press conference. We don’t really need a presidential commission to tell us that we need more regulation of big oil and less porn on the MMS computers. Why not explore an acoustic switch that shuts off a well when the rig is damaged? Norway and Brazil already do it. By the way, Brazil has been able to use its sugar cane to reduce its dependence on oil by 70 percent. If you throw in the “Girl from Ipanema,” I’d say we ought to be more like Brazil. Forget the conspiracy theory that BP didn’t want to plug the leak too soon; it gives the knuckleheads in industry far too much credit. The dirty little secret is that government has almost always relied on industry for “expertise.” This is true, not only in the case of big oil, but pharmaceuticals and the entire defense industry. Government has also relied on the airlines industry to secure our airports. How did that work out? It has been my experience that government often relies on defense industries to write many of their specifications too. I don’t see any of that changing any time soon, no matter which party is in control of the White House and Congress, so long as industry can offer better pay than civil service and lobbyists can get you tickets to the Super Bowl. Just hope someday your grandkids will live long enough to see egrets return to the Gulf Coast and be able to afford to eat shrimp again. SPR

good and hearty breakfast is the perfect way to start off the day. But with the eyes barely open prior to that morning cup of Joe, deciding on a meal may be difficult. Joanna Cloney has the perfect solution for those night owls out there: Make it before bedtime. The next morning, the resident of the 100 block of Mifflin Street simply removes her Overnight Ham and Egg Casserole from the refrigerator and bakes for 30 minutes. The best thing about it is there is no brain power needed. SPR

Joanna’s Overnight Ham and Egg Casserole INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons of butter, melted 2-1/2 tablespoons of ﬂour 2 cups of milk Salt and pepper, to taste 1 cup of American cheese, shredded 1 cup of ham 1/4 cup of onions, chopped 1 dozen eggs, beaten 1 4-ounce can of sliced mushrooms, drained

TOPPING:

1/2 stick of butter 2-1/4 cups of bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS:

Blend ﬂour and one tablespoon of

the butter in a large saucepan. Stir together for one minute, then gradually add milk and cook until thickened. Add salt, pepper and cheese. Stir until melted and set aside. In a large skillet, saute the ham and onions in the remaining tablespoon of butter, until onions are tender. Add the eggs and cook over medium until the eggs are set. Stir in the mushrooms and cheese mixture. Spoon into a greased 13-by-9by-2 baking pan. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the casserole. Cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

= Exceptional

Ladder 15 revisited By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

hiladelphia foodies will follow a chef from place to place because they savor his cuisine or want to see what occurs when a chef makes a 360-degree culinary turn. This is the case of chef David Ansill. He owned Pif in the Italian Market where Bibou is wowing its customers with firstrate French fare and Ansill, which opened more than four years ago in the former much-beloved Judy’s. Ansill is gone now. But Chef Ansill has surfaced at Ladder 15, a casual gastro-pub (I detest that word but it fills the bill here) where he is now slinging Korean tacos, roasting mussels, frying cauliflower and grilling chorizo. I was curious to see if Ansill changed the Ladder 15 menu, or added his own spark or spin to it. Ladder 15, which opened more than a year ago, attracted a young beer-swigging crowd that watched the Phillies and nibbled on small plates and sandwiches. I arrived alone for Happy Hour around 5 p.m. I slid onto a bar stool and ordered my favorite libation, a Bombay Sapphire martini straight up, stirred, two olives ($9). Amanda the barkeep placed the jumbo icy cold drink in front of me. It was filled so high, I had to sip a bit in order to pick it up without spilling it all over the bar. Potato goat cheese cigars ($6) looked like blintzes. Cigars are a Moroccan specialty, long and thin and made with phyllo. These were OK and I liked the sour cream and chives for dipping.

The fried cauliflower ($7) was dreadful. It was topped with chili, chopped parsley and olive oil. The poor vegetable was so greasy, it was inedible. Korean tacos are an oxymoron. Ansill’s version ($11) consisted of one made with pork belly and the other with short ribs. The pork belly was fine but the short rib was so salty, it was inedible. I guess the addition of kim chi, scallions and sesame seeds transforms Mexican fare into Asian. I returned later that night for dessert and a cup of tea. The weather turned brutal. It was windy and a cold rain was falling. Naturally I had no umbrella. The Phillies game was still on and I sat down next to a man nursing a beer. The barkeep told me he had raisin bread pudding and some kind of chocolate concoction. “I would love a hot cup of tea,” I said. “We don’t have tea bags,” he replied. “How about a Cognac?” “That will warm me up.” The barkeep pulled down a bottle of Hennessy and began to pour the fragrant amber liquid into a double on-the-rocks glass. He poured a generous amount of Cognac into the glass. “I’m taking a taxi home,” I told the barkeep. I returned to Ladder 15 a week later and asked my friend Dan to join me. This time I was charged $6 for a martini instead of $9. I recognized Ansill as soon as he came over to the bar to speak with patrons. Italian

I have never met him, but his famous Amish-style goatee gave him away. Two of the specials were a foie gras terrine ($18) and fried rabbit ($12). Both were tops. They immediately made me forget the experience I endured the week before. The foie was creamy and melted in our mouths. A dab of sweet/tangy cranberry jam was a tasty foil for the foie. The rabbit was outstanding. It was crisp and free of grease. The whipped potatoes, which came with the dish, reminded me of my cozy childhood. Steak tartare ($12) was chopped by hand and fashioned into a meaty round. Some Cognac was blended into the chopped filet which was served with fried capers and tangy mustard. A cute poached quail egg sat atop the beef. I poured it on and mixed it in.

The lamb empanadas ($9) were seasoned with the right touch of curry and included apple chutney and mango yogurt. I sipped a glass of Stoudt’s pilsner ($5) while Dan enjoyed a Dock Street IPA. What happened? Obviously, Ansill was not cooking on my first visit, but he shined like a Mediterranean sun on the second. Two-and-a-half tips of the toque to Ladder 15. SPR

Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Sprinkle generously with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. Lower the heat to medium and place the garlic, cut side down, in the oil. Using your hand, press the garlic over the bottom of the pot. Remove the garlic. Sear the pork on all sides. Remove the pork. Add the vegetables to the pot. Sauté them for about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the pork and chicken stock.

prevents artichokes from turning a nasty brown/gray color. Christopher cut the long bone out of the pork and sliced the meat into four pieces. He seared the pork in hot canola oil and added an array of magical ingredients. I keep a large copper bowl filled with onions, garlic and shallots on the counter. We bought a Vidalia onion because Christopher was going to make chutney which would marry well with the pork. The artichokes were filled with bread crumbs and shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano. He added melted butter before they were baked in the oven. We filled the profiteroles with Starbucks Coffee caramel macchiato ice cream with homemade hot fudge sauce drizzled on top. A Muscadet was served with the artichokes and a Viognier/Shiraz blend went well with the pork. Most people bring a bottle of wine, flow-

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 3, 2010

or the past few months, I have invited noted chefs into my kitchen to teach me how to prepare dishes I have never done before. I made gefilte fish from scratch with Mitch Prensky of Supper, baked a beautiful French tart with Cedric Barberet of Le Bec-Fin and rolled and cut potato gnocchi with Lynn Rinaldi of Paradiso. Last week, I invited my friend Christopher Thames to dinner. I wanted to do all the cooking. He would hear none of it. Christopher is a Southern gentleman from Beaumont, Texas, just four hours west of New Orleans. He is one fine chef, who graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. He wanted to cook and asked me to be his sous chef. I found gorgeous globe artichokes at Trader Joe’s for just 99 cents each. “Good,” he said. “We’ll stuff them.” After a delicious, light lunch at Garces Trading Company, 1111 Locust St., where I bought a boule for dinner, we headed over to Whole Foods Market, 929 South St. I wanted to cook something I never have made. We looked at the meat case and decided on pork shoulder. I’ve made pork roasts and chops but never this less tender cut of pork. I told my friend I adore profiteroles stuffed with ice cream. “I will teach you how to make pâte à choux,” Christopher said. “Since you do not have a KitchenAid I will make them by hand.” As he pushed the shopping cart around the market, Christopher would sometimes stop and think. He made his way back to the produce department where he bought baby arugula and oyster mushrooms. I bought Jersey asparagus the day before our dinner. He would make a simple sauté to serve as a bed for the pork. “These tomatoes look fine,” he said after I told him I am wary of buying tomatoes out of season. “Don’t worry. They’re going to be cooked.” After we unpacked the groceries, I put on a pot of coffee and Christopher went to work. He made slightly sweet pastry dough formed into large balls and baked them in the oven. He showed me how to properly clean and pare artichokes and kept them simmering in my large red Le Creuset pot filled with acidulated water. Lemon juice

Your new best friend WILBUR

Madisyn Work

IT’S BEEN A YEAR

Tennis anyone? Wilbur is a very active, three-year-old Labrador mix who could chase a tennis ball for hours. He even sleeps with a tennis ball at the shelter! Wilbur has been working with a member of our Behavior Team for the last 5 months, and picks up on training very quickly. He’s already mastered the commands: sit, down, come, stay, and easy (so he doesn’t pull on the leash). But he’s ready to learn so much more! Wilbur could live in practically any home, and would be a great companion for children, other dogs, or even cats! Wilbur’s potential family will need to be active enough to keep up with him, so couch potatoes need not apply. If you think that Wilbur will fit into your home, come to the Pennsylvania SPCA and meet him today! Pennsylvania SPCA, 350 E. Erie Ave., or contact www.pspca.org or 215-426-6300.

t’s been a year since we had to say goodbye. Where is the GOOD in goodbye when all we do is cry?

I I

t’s been a year that has changed all our days t’s been a year, and we still want you to know that we love you. And through that year we never doubt that you love us too!

Joey from the block A Neumann-Goretti track star competed in last weekend’s state championships. r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

Neumann-Goretti junior Joseph DiGiacomo, who competed in last week’s PIAA championships, is expected to once again lead the Saints track team in 2011. S ta f f P h o t o b y g r e g b e z a n i s

“I would like to run professionally,” he said of his prospects. Keefe and Health and Physical Education teacher Dominic Rapino do not doubt that their pupil will. “He’s all heart,” Rapino, who has had Joe in class and will have him again next year, said. “It’s amazing to think about what he’s accomplished.” In Friday’s preliminaries, DiGiacomo’s time of 2:01.93 was not enough to put him through to Saturday’s finals. Even so, DiGiacomo and Keefe are confident about next year. “I’m the only upperclassman, so I will have an even bigger role next year as a senior,” DiGiacomo said. “Joe’s set himself up for a big senior year,” Keefe added. “He’s going to be tough.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

that role. “I see Joe as our program’s model,” Keefe said. “I don’t mind being that,” DiGiacomo added, with a smile. The athlete follows a rigorous physical program. “In the winter, I run through the halls on the second and third floors. When the spring comes, I do distance running at 10th and Bigler and at The Lakes,” he said. He calls on squats to give his legs their necessary power and relies on an athlete’s staple, carbohydrate loading, before a big meet. “Pasta and my mom’s gravy do it for me,” he said. Always aiming to be ahead in all matters, DiGiacomo has begun to think about graduation and beyond. He has looked at the well-established athletic training programs at Temple and West Chester universities.

IN OTHER DIAMOND news, the All-Public and All-Catholic Baseball teams were recently announced, and there was strong representation from South Philadelphia schools. Prep Charter Huskies junior infielder Michael Borelli earned First Team honors, while Carmen DeCarlo, a junior outfielder, and Michael Sandefur, a junior catcher, nabbed Second-Team honors. Fellow Division B residents the Bok Wildcats had senior outfielder Gary Jackson receive a Second Team honor. From Division C, Furness Falcons’ junior pitcher/outfielder Ryan Gonzalez made First Team, while fellow junior infielder Charles Hayden landed on the Second Team. From the South Philadelphia Rams, sophomore pitcher Steve King made First Team while classmate Marques DeLeon earned a Second Team nod. In the Catholic League, Neumann-Goretti’s Mark Donato was named Blue Division MVP and received First Team honors as a pitcher and an infielder. Fellow senior Al Baur also made First Team as a pitcher and infielder, while senior outfielder Mike Riverso and junior infielder Mike “Zoom” Zolk earned First Team selections. Sophomore catcher Nicky Nardini and sophomore designated hitter/pitcher Joey Gorman scored Second Team honors. SPR

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I june 3, 2010

MODESTY, HOWEVER, SEEMS DiGiacomo’s credo. As the team’s captain, DiGiacomo knows he is a torchbearer, and revels in

ollowing two regular season defeats to Central, the Girard Academic Music Program Pioneers had hoped the third time would be the charm in the May 27 Public League semifinals. The six-time reigning District 12 Class A champions, however, fell 6-3 Thursday at La Salle University. Despite the loss, the team will continue postseason play Monday in the PIAA Class A state tournament against a yet-to-be-determined foe. In Friday’s Catholic League semifinals, the Neumann-Goretti Saints dropped a 9-5 decision to Monsignor Bonner at Widener University. The reigning Catholic League champions had looked to repeat and to capture the PIAA Class AAA crown, as they fell in last year’s state semifinals. Because of last week’s setback, the Saints end their campaign with an 18-4 mark that included a 17-1 start.

By Joseph Myers f Joseph DiGiacomo has his way, high school track and field will soon vie with baseball and basketball for local fans. Friday, the Neumann-Goretti junior competed in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Track and Field Championships at Shippensburg University’s Seth Grove Stadium. Statewide, DiGiacomo, 17, was ranked among the top-20 in the 800-meters. Suburban athletes dominate the rankings, so DiGiacomo’s feat affords the school a “little South Philly moxie,” fourth-year coach Dan Keefe said. DiGiacomo has been building that moxie since sixth grade. The resident of the 2800 block of South 16th Street began as a baseball aficionado, patrolling center field as a T-baller. “The inspiration to try track came from my brother and father who were both runners.” DiGiacomo began as a sprinter but soon gravitated towards his current discipline. He and the distance have worked well together. DiGiacomo qualified for last weekend’s PIAA’s by placing third in last month’s District 12 Class AAA Championships at Northeast High School. He finished with a personal-best time of 1:58.76 — his first sub-two-minute result. At 5-foot-8 and 140 pounds, the lean DiGiacomo has been a member of Neumann-Goretti’s track and field team for three years. “Joe was the team during his freshman year,” Keefe, who also teaches in the school’s English department, said. The squad now fields 60 members. “We have built our foundation from Joe. His success has helped to establish this program,” the coach said.

prayer to the blessed virgin

(never known to fail). O Most Beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful Vine Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me here You are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to succor my necessity (Make Request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee (3 times). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for 3 consecutive days. Then you must publish it and it will be granted to you. s.M.

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.
