It is always a good idea to have a backup plan when I set out to review a restaurant. On a hot and humid afternoon, I decided to review a place that recently changed owners. Suffice to say, it turned out to be more of a take-out restaurant.

4ObVS`Zg ORdWQS To our Readers: I want to use this space to wish my fellow patriarchs out there a festive Father’s Day. Growing up in a strained family situation, I never gave the occasion much consideration, though I always wished that my friends would enjoy great times with their dads. Becoming a father five years ago, I received a reminder that one often has to have a life-altering event happen to change his or her perceptions about an observation, with my first Father’s Day, which came only a week after the birth of my son, being a priceless lesson and a reprimand for my narrow thinking. There are people who will argue that celebrations such as Father’s Day are only means for people to peddle gifts,

and while we cannot deny the commercialism surrounding the third Sunday in June, I find myself focusing far more on its call to nourish our notions of love. I lacked that blessing from my father for most of his life, so I can definitely relate to those who will wake up Sunday and think, “Ugh, here we go again,� but I see Father’s Day just as I view Mother’s Day and every other day on the calendar. It is a chance to be thankful for the gift of possibility and to maximize each moment, neckties optional. Joseph Myers South Philly Review editor

To the Editor: Staff writer Bill Chenevert’s report on the performance by fourth graders at the G.W. Childs Elementary School (“Theater enchants at Childs,� June 9) truly reinforces the idea that the arts belong in school. Children need exposure to all forms of creative and performing arts in order to enhance their creative thinking. For too long, the School District of Philadelphia has deprived students of this opportunity to develop all their talents, as if art education is some kind of frill. It isn’t. It is a way of using both sides of the brain at once and stimulates problem solving abilities. Thanks to outside providers like Enchantment Theater Co. for offering opportunities for creative arts to public schools like Childs. One day, maybe our lawmakers will recognize that arts education is as important as any other discipline and provide for it in the school budget. Gloria Endres South Philadelphia

what was/were your proudest accomplishment(s) as a student? Interviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau

“School taught me to be resilient and to remain focused on doing what’s right and following what’s positive.� George Theos, 2500 block of South Hicks Street

To the Editor: I appreciated the “Death becomes us� (June 9) South Philly 10 column by editor Joseph Myers. This has been a tumultuous year, and it just seems as if it is getting worse now that we have had another attack on our country. We live in incredibly sad times when those dear to us, whether they be famous or known only to us, can leave this world in an instant. I’m 78 years old, so I know this has pretty much been the case for years, even centuries, but it scares me to face that we are often at the mercy of so much in order to keep enjoying our finite time on this earth. When I read “Death becomes us,� I felt conflicted because while I am sad that those indi“I’d say playing for the football team and earning my diploma [from Frankford High School]. The diploma was really important for me to get.� Thomas Radomski, 1300 block of East Passyunk Avenue

viduals are gone, I am happy to know that they touched our lives in some way. My overall take from that column and from the events this year is that we must be steadfast and loving creatures. Preserve your friendships and connections with your relatives. Forgive yourself, too. We all face enough in this world and don’t need the added sting of self-inflicted judgment.

Steady investment

recent graduate from Roman Catholic High School and resident of the 2400 block of South Clarion Street, Andrew Banecker enjoys staying busy. On top of a rock-solid academic reputation, it’s the 17-year-old’s volunteer and outreach work that struck his nominator. The last two years in the National Honor Society is the tip of the iceberg – his involvement in the Ambassadors Program saw him representing his school at black tie dinners, Back to School Night, and parent-teacher conferences. As an active Big Brother, he worked with the freshman class during orientation (plus volunteering for his parish’s CYO working concessions). He also played an important role in the school’s Speak Up Program, which holds an event each year to discuss topics like bullying, suicide and addiction. Banecker also participated in Student Council, World Affairs Club, and the school TV studio. With a 4.0 grade-point-average and a ranking of 19th out of 237, the Lower Moyamensing resident took on an ambitious work load with a senior year packed with four advanced placement courses and three honors courses. As a sophomore, Banecker achieved a near-perfect score on his National Latin Exam. Finance, it seems, is his passion and he’s been readying himself for a world of business by working at a retail shop, Boys Town Girls Town, for the past five years part-time during the school year and nearly 30 hours a week in the summer months. Wall Street is where he hopes to find himself and plans on attending Widener University to study finance (with a Widener Presidential Scholarship). - Bill Chenevert

Crossing inhabitant’s work ethic. He believes Birkmire’s preparedness will continue to lead him to success as he moves on to Drexel University for the upcoming fall semester loaded with scholarship and grant endowments. The resident of the 1600 block of South 10th Street has a silent confidence in his intelligence and constantly challenges himself to take on new and challenging endeavors. During Birkmire’s senior year when most students are counting down the days until graduation, the local enrolled in three advanced placement courses in Psychology, Calculus and American History, plus four honors courses while not surrendering an inch on his 3.9 grade-pointaverage. Birkmire’s quest for self-growth scholastically likewise transferred into philanthropic and athletic undertakings. He was the president of Roman Catholic’s chapter of the National Honor Society, a faculty appointed member of the Ambassador Program, and a peer mentor to the freshman class. The future Drexel Dragon also was an accomplished high school athlete as a part of the Roman Catholic Ice Hockey team that won the Sammartino and Three Rivers Cup. This rising star has his long-term goals set on becoming a financial advisor. - Joseph Fontanazza

sisters - their tight-knit group is as harmonious as their harmonies. Sarai, 16, Soleil, 13, and Sione, 9, make up the Little Big Sister Group that has garnered invites to a wide array of events on the East Coast, with their first being the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus Inaugural Ceremony in Harrisburg, as they performed the “Star Spangled Banner.� The South Philly-based group impressed onlookers so much during their first official performance that they received a constant stream of requests coming for every type of affair. Last summer alone, the three blossoming musicians played several prestigious events in large venues such as Central Park’s Summerstage Global Family Day in New York City, the Jamaica Arts & Music Summer Festival in Jamaica, Queens, New York, the NAACP Awards Dinner-Chester Chapter and the Congressional Black Caucus International in Washington D.C. Sarai, an incoming senior and Sione, an incoming 5th grader are star pupils at the Baldwin School while Soleil, a rising freshman, continues to excel at Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St. Through each member’s collective experiences in an assortment of prestigious music programs like the Philadelphia Girls’ Choir and ability to play multiple instruments, they have produced eight original songs promoting self-esteem and the empowerment of innercity youth. Those songs were first performed at Little Big Sister’s sold out show aptly-named “Love, Laughter and Lyrics.� When Sarai, Soleil and Sione are not making original music, they focus on perfecting their renditions of the “Star Spangled Banner� and “Lift Every Voice,� which first introduced inquiring ears to their special talents several years ago. Little Big Sister’s sound has branched out to neighboring cities, yet they will never forgot their roots, as they commonly perform at community outreach programs in the tri-state area, singing old favorites and new material alike. It’s easy to forgot that these young performers, who reside in Point Breeze and who have accomplished so much at such young ages, are still growing as people and artists. South Philly will definitely need to keep its eyes on these three rising stars. - Joseph Fontanazza

Advice worth heeding

sychology 101 is often considered a blow-off course in a stuffed lecture hall that college freshman sleep through after their first encounter with Sigmund Freud, but Roman Catholic High School Guidance Counselor and teacher Vince Tarducci’s musings on recent graduate John Birkmire indicate that the 18-year-old will not be one of the unprepared masses. “As a student in my AP Psychology class, John is always prepared and works hard to determine an understanding of both the facts and concepts presented,� said Tarducci on the East Passyunk

A heart full of hope

A

ome children have an admirable knack for looking at tragedy and growing from it. Eight-year-old Jazeera Bynum counts as one such youth, having lost her father to a heart attack. The rising third-grader at Stephen Girard School, 1800 Snyder Ave., is making the most of her resolve, having achieved perfect attendance and a spot on the honor roll at her West Passyunk elementary site. The resident of the 2000 block of West Passyunk Avenue has also grown through involvement in an afterschool program and could end up honing her courage through soccer. With a career as an artist or a teacher in mind, Jazeera will certainly inspire others, whether they have suffered heartbreak, to respect their potential and to seek answers that will reflect belief in their talents. - Joseph Myers

Many steps ahead

A

uch is their shine that many youths often compel their elders to wonder about what steps they will take to better the world. Within her Grays Ferry community and in the classrooms at the High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., Amaia Childs must certainly find herself among those whose enthusiasm inspires hopes for a fruitful future. The 17-year-old resident of the 1600 block of South 27th Street has become a burgeoning figure to count on, particularly through her dance endeavors. A company member at her Hawthorne school, she scored lead performer status in last year’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and has enjoyed renown through special opportunities within the city and state, as well as Washington, D.C.-based duties in the Cherry Blossom Parade. Thanks to daily classes covering six forms of her passion, she has also used her skill to assist children through the after-school program overseen by the Young Chances Foundation, the South Philly Review’s community partner in presenting this issue, with Tyrique Glasgow, a 2013 Difference Maker, as its founder. Her brain joins her limbs as a tireless source of success, with a 3.7 grade-point-average, first honors, and high honors in English and Science proving her academic might. With a year left at CAPA, she will continue considering her college aspirations, with the arts, business, communications, and the law comprising her current quartet of interests. - Joseph Myers

sortment of sayings that will live with me forever. His friendship, through which he spoke of belief in constantly challenging oneself, will prove immortal, too. 6) Dr. Richard Wertime: Easily the most brilliant man I have encountered, Dr. Wertime became an acquaintance of mine in early 2005 when I started my graduate education at Arcadia University. Three years later, he instructed the most difficult, and therefore the most powerful, course that I had in my Glenside sojourn, helping me to admire the work of Willa Cather and to fall for being an unflagging admirer of brilliant literature. 5) Sr. Mary Ella: As my first-grade teacher at the since-shuttered Saint Mary of Czestochowa School in Southwest Philly, Sr. Mary Ella possessed an angelic voice and a golden heart. The smallest matters can trigger recollections of anyone, frankly, and when I feed my son, I often remember her instruction to chew everything 60 times before swallowing it. Here’s hoping that a lesson that I picked up three decades ago will come to mind 30, 40, even 50 years from now. 4) Michael Sheehan: I tend to fear situations far more than people, but I must say that when I learned I would be taking Advanced Placement English during my senior year at Neumann, I panicked because I felt instructor Michael Sheehan would find nothing I write coherent or competent. Foolish teenager! Mr. Sheehan became a trusted advisor and a very fair assessor of my writing, and I thank him for his constant encouragement to revisit works to gain additional lessons from them. 3) Charles Haub: Twice my instructor at Neumann, Charles Haub would have been my teacher far more often if I could have convinced the administration to let him oversee everything on my roster. As the party responsible for my Shakespearean obsession, he helped me to understand that “No legacy is so rich as honesty.� 2) Dr. Pradyumna Chauhan: The owner of easily my favorite name to pronounce, Dr. Pradyumna Chauhan also resounds as one of the most revered, captivating, and insightful individuals I have known. Twice his student at Arcadia, I marvel at how this man, with 49 years’ worth of time in Glenside, can still summon such brilliance with ease. 1) Fr. Francis Burch: Like Coyne, Sheehan, and Haub, Fr. Francis Burch is making his second appearance in one of these South Philly 10 articles, having appeared on my Oct. 8 list in conjunction with our Difference Makers issue. The education ranks lost a pioneer Aug. 30, 2013 when this Jesuit died at 82. A junior year instructor of mine at Saint Joe’s, Fr. Burch kept in contact with me following my time on Hawk Hill, with the period immediately following graduation, when I could not even sniff a job, a testament to his realization that tutelage need not be simply classroom-based.

ecause the South Philly Review is issuing its third collection of Rising Stars today, I wanted to give recognition to the men and women who educated me in classroom settings. I always had ample ambition as a student, but I know that I could not forge any sort of stable navigation through life without the input of many compassionate individuals. I am thankful for every educator with whom I have interacted, with many of them actually helping me to frame my teaching philosophy, which I have called upon when overseeing my own classes and in being a father. Thank you to these figures and their classroom colleagues. You are all rising stars to me. 10) Fr. Albert Santorsola: As my freshman year religion teacher at St. John Neumann High School, Fr. Albert Santorsola offered amazing replies to my inquiries on our often troubling times and kept me and my classmates in hysterics with some of his sayings and the names that he would give for our imaginary girlfriends, with Rita Rigatoni drawing a smile from me as I typed this entry. 9) Dr. Mary Schmelzer: As an undergraduate student at Saint Joseph’s University, I loved to challenge myself in fulfilling my English major and often heard that if I were truly serious about intensifying my understanding that I should take a class with Mary Schmelzer. I could not stop at just one and still recall with fondness her affinity for encouraging me and my peers to ponder and probe tirelessly. Fifteen years removed from her tutelage, I still revisit my notebooks and nod. 8) Dr. Julie McDonald: When I enrolled at Saint Joe’s, I wanted to work on my thenreserved nature and my interest in helping people through troubling times. Julie McDonald served as my philosophy instructor for each semester of my freshman year, with the sessions’ service learning component intensifying my compassion and certainly helping me to shed my shyness. I thank her for encouraging me to speak up for myself and to believe in my comprehension of the world around me. 7) Vincent Coyne: Mr. Coyne served as the precursor to Dr. McDonald in increasing my confidence. As my sophomore year and junior year Algebra II and Trig/Pre-Calc teacher at Neumann, he, like Fr. Santorsola, had an as-

ange Eo has no shortage of accomplishments to his credit, with the first being his sheer academic achievements: third in his class; five AP credits; four years of honor roll; membership in the National Honor Society and National Art Honor Society; plus four years of perfect attendance. He’s poised to attend Drexel University in the fall with multiple scholarships and grants, including a Drexel Liberty Scholarship, where he’ll major in Game Design and Production. Pretty cool. What 18-year-old with the wherewithal to funnel his hard work and talents into a specialty like Video Game design wouldn’t be completely pumped to get started?

Neumann-Goretti Catholic High School, 1736 S. 10th St., has been pretty committed to his passions for the past four years, each of them characterized by participation in an Art Club and Tech Club (both of which he served as president this year). As a Mathlete and Honor Society tutor, he’s proven capable of sharing his shine. And as a parttime employee of his family’s business since seventh grade, he clearly has enough work ethic for more than one human. His design talents are so obvious and apparent, the Parents Association requested his eye for the creation of a logo for the Neumann-Goretti talent show. Here’s hoping Valve or Blizzard or Nintendo snatch this scholar up. - Bill Chenevert

The resident of the 2600 block of South 15th Street has the academic pedigree for admission to any number of schools, ranking forth in his graduating class while taking three advanced placement courses and all honors levels classes during his high school career. Although Gullotta boasts an impressive scholastic resume, his long list of extra-curriculars sets him apart from other incoming freshman. The Melrose dweller was a member of numerous high school sponsored clubs such as the Tech Club, the Usher Corp, the Community Service Corp, the Mathletes and Neumann-Goretti’s chapters of Students Against Destructive Decisions and the National Honor Society. Domenic also is a multi-sport athlete, playing Varsity Soccer for the Saints and Prep School Level Hockey for the Aston based Delco Dragons while coaching youth hockey at the Rizzo Rink. Drexel University snatched up the promising 17-year-old with multiple scholarships and grants including the A.J. Drexel Scholarship awarded to incoming freshman that show superior academic performance. Undoubtedly, this future Dragon personifies what it is to be a rising star in the community. - Joseph Fontanazza

and performance, and has lent his pipes to a handful of volunteer efforts – singing Christmas Carols at ShopRite, in the Christmas show at school, volunteering to sing at hospitals to enliven the spirits of sick patients, and participating in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service to hand out pamphlets on the leader’s life. His neighborhood seems to have embraced the young man partly due to his courteous behaviors and care for the bullied. Mark won’t stand for peer abuse, his nominator says. And, above all, he’s endured severely upsetting circumstances at home. His father, on December 16, 2014, suffered a double brain aneurysm and found himself in a coma after major brain surgery. Woosley says he stepped up and stayed by his father’s side every minute in the hospital and helped his mother with whatever she needed around the house. His dad’s not the same post-surgery, and he and his mother work double-time to care for him. Despite stresses at home and working on his own music, he’s worked harder than ever to bring his academics to A- and B-level achievements. This coming year, he’ll be putting together his own show for the GAMP community, complete with dancers, drummers, guitarists and pianists, all with Mark’s coordination and direction. It’s sure to solicit another standing ovation. - Bill Chenevert

n today’s ultra-competitive race to be accepted into the nation’s top universities, a high grade point average and good test scores only slightly pique the interest of a college admissions office. These gate-keepers to higher education look for the almighty extracurricular activities, and Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., recent graduate Domenic Gullotta is the type of student that admissions officers salivate over.

member of the National Honor Society and Student Council, but it’s his split enthusiasm for music and sports that caught the eye of his teachers. He’s played for or managed the high school baseball team since 2013, played hockey, and helped run a floor hockey league for the school’s younger enrollees this year. His musical expertise is the saxophone, which he’s mastered for the High School Concert and Jazz bands, playing the alto, tenor and baritone sax. His honor roll achievements, ’13 to present, earned him the right to participate in the Drexel High School Scholars Program since ’15, gaining highly valuable college credit for free each quarter. Haas’s work ethic outside of the school is impressive, as well, having worked at Millie’s Steaks and Shakes and as an assistant worker to the general contractor for S&M Construction for three years. He’s doing his best to earn some money for both his family and to defray the cost of college, which he’s eager to attend. His first choice is West Chester University, and Thomas says he’s been working on his college essay, researching scholarships and is “intensely focused on going to college.� High on the list of hopeful professions, he intends to pursue physical therapy and athletic training. Haas also volunteered with City Year’s Martin Luther King Day of Service and middle school tutoring. Thomas says what could easily be thought reading his accolades: “I’m sure he must be tired sometimes, but he never shows it.� - Bill Chenevert

The resident of the 2500 block of South American Street has already produced two albums on his own, writing all the music himself. Before enrolling at the illustrious Girard Estate school for performing arts, he was honing his skills at the George McCall Elementary School, where he was awarded the 2013 Dramatic Arts Award and received a Philadelphia Young Playwrights award for a play he wrote.

The seventh-grader and resident of the 700 block of Jackson Street excels in all subjects, but Flavin-Lefferts said she takes her assignments beyond expectations and is an extraordinary writer.

Broad St., for whom she helped to assemble the yearbook, finds herself the owner of “a personality that is huge for such a tiny person� and does her best to help others, most notably by volunteering at a rehab center. Outlaw added that the 18-year-old intends to join the reserves and aspires to be a doctor. With continued diligence, Murray might just prescribe herself a continued existence abounding in the wonders of sacrifice. - Joseph Myers

abrielle Nebbio just finished her junior year at PPACS String Theory School in Center City, and has amassed an amazing set of accolades. A few include the Leaders and Achievers Award for positive contributions and commitment to school community, a Perfect Attendance honor, the Poetry Out Loud Competition award for poetry performance, and First Honors for her ambitious academic achievements. The 16-year-old resident of the 1200 block of South 13th Street has said of her hard work “my grades have always been high, in the 97-100 range, and that is the only way I will have it,� she wrote. If that weren’t enough, her list of after-school activities is to be considered on top of her regular shifts at Isgro’s Pastries, 1009 Christian St.: National Honor Society, Student Council, Earth Day volunteer, Junior Prom Committee, Student Ambassador, College Prep Club, Fitness/Wellness Club, Bookish Club, plus she’s walked for Autism Speaks and volunteers with the Center City Residents Association and Philabundance. College and careers are heavily on her mind. Her nomination comes from Susan Thomas, who gave Nebbio the highest grade in her Honors Challenge course. Thomas says she carries a 4.0 with all honors and AP coursework, and that the honorable student is looking at fitness, wellness and nutrition to inspire her life’s work. Nebbio’s looking forward to volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House this summer, through the Children’s Hospital

t’s always so inspiring to see teenagers and young people standing up for best behaviors and proactively attempting to make our city better. For all four years of Lawrence Patron’s Roman Catholic High School days, he was a member of its Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and, his senior year, was elected the club’s secretary. His nominator, Madelena Tran, says he “raises awareness of the consequences of impaired driving and other negative behaviors within the school community.� He’s also a member of the Community Service Corps since freshman year, a group that allows Lawrence to serve the school and the local community at events. Patron’s maintained a 4.0 throughout high school and sat at number 30 in his class of 237 students as of his nomination’s submission. He’s taken on six honors courses, and Tran calls the senior “personable and mature.� His interests lie in arts and culture, as evidenced by active membership in the Art Club and Asian Culture Club for all four years. Patron has ambitious sights set on Pixar or video game animation and is ready to start on his path right here in town at the Art Institute. Perhaps the 500 block of Gerritt Street resident will develop the next Elsa or Dory. - Bill Chenevert

or any fourth-grader to have sights set on the Ivy League is pretty impressive. That’s a whole lot of vision and determination. Mandy Jiang, a resident of the 2500 block of South Eighth Street and a nine-yearold studying at D. Newlin Fell Elementary, 900 W. Oregon Ave., has got just that. Her nominator, Jennie Markowicz, says she is the “most motivated, hardworking and serious fourth-grader I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. Having a conversation with her, you may forget she is only nine years old.� Even more, her nomination says, when asked about college plans, Jiang didn’t bat an eye and said the University of Pennsylvania and Brown University could top her list. The Lower Moyamensing resident, says her teacher, is “dedicated to her academics, to her friends, to helping her teachers, to playing violin, to being a good sister and to everything else in her busy life.� She’s received straight As every term, earning First Honors distinction. Volunteerism is strong with her, too, and she arrives at school 30 minutes early everyday to assist third- through fifth- grade teachers with morning chores. She’s already involved in the after-school Art and Crafts clubs, and participates in a Big Brother/Big Sister program that matches her up with a “big.� Medicine is “probably� in her future, she says, as it’s at the top of her list of potential careers. If she sets her mind to it, no doubt, she’ll be answering to Dr. Jiang in no time. - Bill Chenevert

ominator Madelena Tran described Tilghman Moyer, who last week graduated from Roman Catholic High School, as “an absolute gentleman.� Going by his accomplishments, one could consider calling the 18-year-old resident of the 1600 block of Packer Avenue an incredible inspiration, too. As a gifted athlete, dedicated musician, and valued volunteer, he seems destined to instill in local residents even further pride over their opportunity to tab him one of their own. The Packer Park occupant maintained a flawless grade-point-average at his Center City alma mater, with crew enthusiasm, for which he earned All-Catholic distinction and helped to maintain the Cahillites’ reputation as an aquatic force; trumpet and French horn mastery; and a relationship with the Abramson Cancer Center and the Children’s Foundation, for whom he raised funds and participated in bike rides, adorning his adolescence with additional merit. Tran noted that Moyer also “demonstrates high levels of emotional intelligence,� a practice that figures to serve him well when he matriculates at Temple University to become a marine biologist. Like the fluid homes of his futures specimens, the teenager’s ambition registers as vast and venerable. - Joseph Myers

It didn’t stop her from collecting As and awards: four times now, she’s received the Presidential Excellence Award; and twice an Effort Award. The fourth grader, says Fiorentino, is an “accomplished student and a well-rounded young girl.� Scicchitano, a resident of the 700 block of Ellsworth Street, attends Philadelphia Dance Academy and has appeared in some great productions. She’s been in “The Nutcracker,� and several school plays including “At The Bandstand,� “Flakes,� and “The Big Chill.� She dances and she sings in the St. Paul’s Catholic Church choir, perhaps with her father’s spirit in her heart. A giving spirit seems innate, too, as she helps her teachers at Christopher Columbus whenever possible and has expressed interest in teaching dance as an adult.

School of Rock’s involvement in BrainFest, a measure to raise funds, with $5,000 coming from this year’s celebration, and awareness for brain cancer research. Coupled with participation in a cerebral palsy benefit, that endeavor has given the resident of the 700 block of Mollbore Terrace complements to his volunteer connections to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the Red Cross Blood Drive, and the Schuylkill Animal Rescue. “As St. Monica School is the ‘Pride of South Philly,’ I would like you to recognize one of our students who shines,� nominator Sister Regina Matulka said of the Marconi East dweller, adding his academic prowess as a Junior National Honor Society member and scholarship winner to Roman Catholic High School.

Rayn’s reign

any children cannot handle being away from parental figures for even a few hours, such is their devotion to one another. Since October, Rayn Scott has shown immense maturity in waiting for her mother to return from her Navy deployment, as the eight-year-old soon-to-be-third-grader at Delaplaine McDaniel School, 1801 S. 22nd St., has excelled in her studies and has devoted herself to exploring her talent as a dancer. The resident of the 2600 block of Latona Street showed her fancy footwork through praise dance participation at the St. Paul Chapel Baptist Church and enrollment at Chantel Price Dance School. The Grays Ferry occupant, whom nominator/grandmother Donna Brown described as “a very outgoing person who would, even at a young age, give you the shirt off her back,� has also raised spirits through cheerleading endeavors while living in Harrisburg and by volunteering for Second District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, 186th

anya Sek is so disciplined that, upon entering seventh grade, she decided to tackle one of her weaker subjects in school – math. It was one of the only subjects she struggled with but she worked hard, studied, got help inside and outside of Eliza B. Kirkbride School, 1501 S. Seventh St., and now she gets As regularly. It inspired Thinh Thach, her nominator, who says she is “a leader in and out of the classroom, always taking initiative to help her peers and she works extremely diligently to improve her academics.� She excels in school-organized extracurriculars, too: she chairs the Student Ambassador Committee (as voted by her peers), co-chaired the seventhgrade Award Show Committee, and regularly volunteers to read to kindergarteners and first graders. She’s found great success at the Passyunk Square school, but the 400 block of Tasker Street resident is not to be messed with outside the building, either. She’s a karate master, having practiced for years and attending (and winning) many karate competitions. Thach says she’s won first-place before, third-place twice, and second-place three times. Her drive to succeed just may turn her into the next great American novelist – she hopes one day to write novels and plans to volunteer at her local library this summer. To feed her novelwriting, she told her nominator that she hopes to study abroad in college to learn about new cultures. Thatch uses the words caring, courteous, respectful, “and all the positive adjectives you can think of.� That’s high praise coming from the much-respected Kirkbride educator. - Bill Chenevert

e often hear and frequently confirm that kids say the darndest things, but many of us can also testify that they engage in the bravest endeavors, too. Anthony Silvestro, who yesterday graduated from St. Anthony of Padua Regional Catholic School, 913 Pierce St., wins favor as one such child, especially for his courage and conviction in countering a genetic disorder. The resident of the 3100 block of South 18th Street contends with Apert Syndrome, an affliction that causes skull deformities leading to physical and learning disadvantages. Thanks to loving family members, peers, and educators, as well as his devotion to God, the teenager refrains from feeling forlorn and concentrates on his blessings. He relied on his resiliency during this year’s second trimester, during which yet another surgery left him in considerable pain. A diligent pupil, with a thorough research paper and presentation on the September 11 attacks as profound proof of his tenacity, Anthony made each day at his East Passyunk Crossing-based alma mater an affirmation of his curiosity and commitment to inspiring others. Nominator Dana Rose Smith-Papp, his English Language Arts instructor for two years, noted that his Apert Syndrome diagnosis came at birth. Anyone who interacts with him could probably say that his dedication likewise saw its genesis 16 years ago, too. Eager to “protect others and make them safe,� he aspires to become a Philadelphia Police Officer. Here’s to his hopes and to our opportunities to be their beneficiaries. - Joseph Myers

PORTRAIT PHOTO BY TINA GARCEAU

A Girard Estate resident is rejuvenating his life through his loving family and barber shop ownership. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

/

nthony Scarduzio readily admits that he never really enjoyed academic settings, but anyone with intimate knowledge of the 30-year-old can say he is diligently completing his course load at the school of hard knocks. Fully invested in never again falling prey to the substances that jeopardized his personal and professional lives, the resident of the 1700 block of Porter Street has found direction through marriage, fatherhood, and business ownership. “I have definitely stumbled a few

times, but I’m on a great journey, and it can only get better,� the proprietor said from Clean Cuts Barber Shop, 1512 Wolf St., his two-month-old establishment. “I have so much to be thankful for and even more to anticipate.� The Girard Estate dweller certainly counts Sunday, which will be his initial Father’s Day, as one such coveted comforter, with 11-month-old daughter Olivia set to help the proud patriarch to relish his continued recovery from drugs. Through his domestic and business existences, he counts each hug and haircut as a step toward lasting growth, with no room for relapses or regrets.

“She’s my new best friend, so I have to be strong for her,� Scarduzio said of his child with wife Eva. “When she was born, I was feeling very nervous about keeping everything straight, but I have tremendous support in helping to make sure her future turns out great.� He can consider his clients among his advocates, as his Newbold-based site has drawn solid business since its April 5 opening. Having spotted the space last summer, he secured it in March and has not lacked for patrons to peruse his handiwork and happiness. “I’ve had a few people express their appreciation that we’re here,� Scar-

duzio said of settling into the neighborhood. “We offer vital services here, so having that trust is huge.� “This is just the ego boost that he needed,� his bride of 15 months said of his running the shop, the name for which she suggested in a great example of wordplay. “His problems put a huge strain on a few dreams, so now that he has realized this goal and is a very helpful and loving father, I agree with him that life can only get better.� Proud to tout his titles as a husband, a father, and a business owner, Scarduzio also lauds the intervention of a trio of influences in maintaining perspective.

“I owe so much to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,� he said in acknowledging how Catholicism has kept him grounded. “People who come in here have said ‘Thank God you’re here to take care of us,’ but I’m of the opinion that I should be the one looking to heaven and giving my gratitude. Not everybody who has had similar struggles lives to tell a tale with love as one of the big parts in it.� HAVING CALLED SOUTH Philly his haunt for his entire life, Scarduzio has become an expert in the good that the expanse can engender and the bad that it can spawn. The product of the 600 block of Wharton Street noted that he had a decent upbringing in his early years yet came to experience excruciating emotional pain when first his father and then his mother battled addiction. “There came a point where I realized I would need to support myself,� Scarduzio said of his predicament. “This world can eat you up if you let it, and I didn’t want to give in because I had some kind of belief that I could make something of myself.�

The alumnus of St. Nicholas of Tolentine School, now St. Anthony of Padua Regional Catholic School, 913 Pierce St., and Roman Catholic High School entertained the idea of attending art school, with pastel work as his artistic passion, but he secured his first shop gig at 19 and felt well on his way to distinguishing himself, feeling that keeping everyone kempt would serve as a satisfying application of his creative identity. “I chose to go after a career because I believed it would give me something immediately, whereas I wondered what school would be like,� Scarduzio explained. “I had the ambition to cut hair for a long time, and word of mouth helped me to do well, too.� Because of his parental situation, the scissors wielder developed a mature amount of disdain for drugs yet could not deny that cravings might one day debilitate him, too. He eventually developed a dependency on pills, with his struggles intensifying at age 25. “It just grew and grew,� he said of his addiction, confiding that he had no idea how he could consistently curb urges. “It’s

taken me a long time to get a grip on who I am and where my life is leading me.� His partner, another native South Philadelphian, has proven a constant counselor to Scarduzio, who has also called on ample professional assistance to help him to grasp the profundity of his potential. Benefiting immensely from a rehabilitation stint in Florida, he has found himself facing fewer doubts as he has evolved as a contributing member of society and as the head of a household. “It’s pretty obvious that doing the right thing all the time is almost impossible,� the cutter commented. “There has to be a good amount of self-belief within you to make some kind of difference. You have to be your own hero in a way to give yourself a shot at improving your life and the lives of those around you.� Scarduzio tends to his tender navigation through this life with daily meetings, stating that they draw him closer to God and to his kin. He will mark his inaugural Father’s Day with the latter through a trip to Baltimore and is looking forward to celebrating Olivia’s first birthday next

month. “I’d always dreamed of having my own shop, and here I am,� he said. “This summer is going to be big in terms of seeing how it grows, but it’s also going to be huge for me as I grow as a provider to these two beautiful ladies in my life.� SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

The following is an excerpt from a speech to registering freshman at Trump University. The speaker is Dean John Foster, known affectionately by Mr. Trump as “my African-American�) “Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Trump University. We are pleased that you have chosen our school as your gateway to success in life. Mr. Trump would like you to know that he wanted to be here to greet you personally, but, as you know, he is in the middle of his presidential campaign to make this country great again. All of you made a mandatory purchase of his trademarked red baseball cap at a cost of only $75 when you entered the auditorium. A reminder - One of the few rules we have here at Trump U is ‘Never ask any questions.’ “One of the first things I was asked by some students outside in the hall this morning was ‘Do you have a football team?’ We do not (the sound of moans from the assembled students). Do not fret. By eliminating football, we have saved on the cost of tuition, but we have left in place rallies where you can chant ‘We’re number one!’ “In place of football, we do have some extra-curricular programs that, I may say, are not offered at any other university. Students are encouraged to participate in such sports as Trophy Hunting. Mr. Trump’s son is the instructor, and you will have the opportunity to hunt down defenseless exotic animals for the sheer purpose of mounting their heads above your mantle piece. “We also have a debating team, which is taught by Mr. Trump himself, an example of the very personal interest that he takes in each of his students. As a member of the debating team, you will learn how to respond to your opponents without really responding simply by calling them a pet name that you repeat over and over again. That reminds me that as a companion piece to participating in the debating team, there is a mandatory requirement that you purchase a textbook that includes the origins of some of Mr. Trump’s most successful nicknames such as “Lyin’ Ted Cruz� and “Little Marco.� Mr. Trump himself authored the book. It includes a foreward by Gov. Chris Christie and costs only $150. (Answering a question by a student in the audience)-No, that is not included in the tuition price, as was indicated incorrectly on the website. Neither was your mandatory purchase of “The Art of the Deal.� I might

add that all of our Trump U debates are carried live on both CNN and MSNBC. (Laughing) Both networks always televise our debates because we promise an appearance by Mr. Trump when they are concluded. “Let’s get to some of the highlights of our curriculum, shall we? Note our course titled Great Men in History has received a rave review by Bill O’Reilly of Fox News. In the course, great men in history, such as Mr. Trump, are profiled. His piece takes up the first half of the book and is the only portion that is required reading for all students. “Other chapters include such notables as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un of North Korea. (Answering another student)- Yes, they are dictators. And, no, Mr. Trump does not agree with all their policies, but he admires their guts and he admires anyone in return who says nice things about him. (Answering a follow-up question from the same student, a bespectacled female)- That is correct, there are no females included in the book because (becoming impatient) the title of the book, silly, is “Great Men.� Mr. Trump intends to include a course on great women as soon as he can find one besides his current wife that is not a ‘bimbo.’ (The same student attempts to answer another question)- Toss her out of here. She’s obviously a member of the scummy press corps who sneaked in here. Try not to grab her arm, Corey. “The most important parts of our curriculum are the financial courses that will guarantee you success in life. Incidentally, those courses include an ironclad guarantee personally vouched for by Mr. Trump. If you follow his rules, you are guaranteed to make more money than Mark Cuban, whom Mr. Trump believes really is a Cuban and therefore suspect. (Answering a question from a bespectacled male student)- Yes, that same guarantee was included in every purchase of Trump Steaks. (Angrily) Corey, I believe that is the same member of the press corps dressed like a man, could be a transgender type. Toss him, please, but you may allow him to use the bathroom on the way out because Mr. Trump does not get involved in bathroom issues. “There are courses on how to declare bankruptcy. One of these is titled Fraud Is Our Friend. A nuanced course, we love nuance here at Trump U, on how to use undocumented workers while at the same time building a wall to keep them out. “Something to remember. As a tribute to our flexibility at Trump U, our textbooks, as you can see (showing a sample text to the audience) are in the form of looseleaf pages that can be removed and replaced. That’s because we change our positions often, sometimes on a daily basis. “In conclusion, mind our slogan - ‘We dump on you at Trump U.’� SPR Comment cardella.

t is always a good idea to have a backup plan when I set out to review a restaurant. On a hot and humid afternoon, I decided to review a place that recently changed owners. Suffice to say, it turned out to be more of a take-out restaurant. Fortunately for me, The Famous 4th Street Delicatessen, which opened in 1923, was just a block away. I reviewed the Famous, as it is called by all, many years ago. It was a dinner review and now I craved brunch. Regular readers of this column know my adoring love for smoked fish. The upscale smoked fish platter I enjoyed at Fork several months ago quickly came to mind. It is getting more difficult to find an authentic Jewish deli in this city. Some of the bagels are dreadful. If I have a craving for sable or sturgeon, where do I go? The Famous, of course. The Queen Village spot is famous as a gathering place for Democratic politicians on Election Day. They sit, drink coffee, enjoy a corned beef on rye, and schmooze away. The bright and cheery restaurant has a black and white tile floor, cases filled with all sorts of deli delights, and pastries. Yes, the overseers have huge black and white cookies. We settled into a roomy table and sipped mugs of good, rich, strong coffee from Green Street. Photographs of Jackie Mason, Janet Reno with Lynn Abraham, and numerous famous people from across America line the walls. A bowl of coleslaw topped with kosher pickles, including my favorite half done, kept us munching happily away. It struck me to order the smoked fish buffet for three ($79.00). I always keep in mind that Famous is famous for its extremely large portions. We ordered it anyway. I am glad we did. We have enough smoked fish and cheese for lunches for several days. Diners get a choice of nova or regular (read, salty) lox and an option of chopped herring, pickled herring in sour cream, or pickled herring in wine sauce. We went for the nova and the herring in cream. Four bagels, which are baked at The Famous, are included. Poppy seed, sesame seed and onion bagels are among my favorites. A platter of sliced American cheese and sliced Swiss cheese arrived topped with four gelato-size scoops of cream cheese. Two were plain, one was mixed with chives and one with finely minced carrots and scallions. I liked that the platter was lined

P h o t o b y Ti n a G a r c e a u with crisp romaine leaves. The smoked fish platter was a feast for the eyes. The large oval silver platter was lined with more of the aforementioned romaine and included thinly-sliced, not-too-hot red onion, sliced tomatoes, lemon slices, cucumbers, salty Greek olives, and a scattering of capers. The herring in cream sauce was placed in a wedge of crisp iceberg lettuce. Sound idea. I am not sure whether the herring is homemade, but who cares? It was delicious. About four to six ounces of hand-sliced glossy Nova Scotia salmon was one of my preferred toppings for my bagel with chive creamed cheese. Sometimes smoked salmon is dry. This one was just glistening. Several slices of kippered salmon were also on the platter. Filet of salmon, with the skin on, was smoked (could be a cold smoke, could be a hot smoke) and was enjoyed with tomatoes and cucumbers. The whitefish salad is the finest in the city. Jumbo white fish is filleted and mixed with the right touch of mayonnaise. A large ice cream scoop full of this not-at-all salty treat is a must on a fish platter. Smoked sable and smoked sturgeon have all but disappeared from restaurants in the city. Sigh. I love the favor and texture of sable. It has a delicate flavor and slightly soft but not mushy texture. Sturgeon is one of the most expensive fish in the world. Why do you think its caviar is so costly? This meaty fish was thinly sliced and looked a bit like sliced turkey. It has the texture of sliced, NOT PROCESSED, turkey that one enjoys at Thanksgiving. It has a mild flavor and is delicious just with some of the vegetables on the platter. Our server Michelle, who has been with The Famous for 11 years, took good care of all of us in the room. Service here is about the best anyone can hope to have. Much of our brunch was packed to go. All we needed to do was purchase two bagels, and, indeed, we had lunches all week. Four tips of the toque to The Famous 4th Street Delicatessen. SPR

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

their inaugural fielding efforts earning Grandelli placement in the showcase’s annals. “That was just incredible,� the teenager, installed as his gang’s shortstop, said of catching the second out and tossing to first for the final element of a triple play, only the second in the three-decade-long history of the tournament, which draws participants from Eastern Pennsylvania, South and Central New Jersey, and Delaware. “I think that gave us some momentum because it can be hard to play against a team with guys you don’t really know much about.� Grandelli picked up an assist and snagged a pop fly in the second to continue his defensive displays and headed to the dish in the bottom of the frame for his initial at-bat. He walked on a full count and advanced to second on a throwing error but advanced no farther. Nevertheless, he expected to have another chance to cause damage, as Carpenter Cup games go a full nine innings instead of the seven that high school action permits. “Catholic League play is always about being ready for your next at-bat because you want to show that you’re dedicated

to each swing,� Grandelli said. “That’s something I love about being a baseball player, too; you can make things happen pretty fast.� THE EAGER CONTRIBUTOR began to find himself beckoned to the diamond at 10, with the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St., as the source of his fixation. Thanks to travel ball opportunities with the Philadelphia Senators, he built his confidence to the point where he relished playing against tough competition and chose to matriculate at St. Joseph’s Preparatory School for his freshman and sophomore years. “I like to play my part,� Grandelli said of never placing too much pressure on himself when playing baseball, which he did for the Hawks. “I enjoy being around guys who want to make strides as a group, and when I decided to transfer from The Prep, Roman sounded like a great place to find those people.� The local joined the Center City-based squad shortly after it dropped the Catholic League final to Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., which this year claimed another championship

reg Grandelli has always believed there are bountiful benefits to playing baseball, with the ability to bond with similarly ambitious figures among the biggest. On Tuesday morning, the 18-year-old joined such dedicated individuals at the Urban Youth Academy, 20th Street and Pattison Avenue, as a member of the Catholic League’s Carpenter Cup club. “It’s a great honor to play and a great feeling to do so with guys who are usually my opponents,â€? the resident of the 200 block of Ritner Street said after the parochial unit’s 4-3 opening-round victory over Burlington County in the Philadelphia Phillies-sponsored showcase tournament. “To get a win is pretty exciting, too.â€? The Whitman inhabitant earned an opportunity to try out for the all-star pageant by scoring first-team All-Catholic honors as a second baseman and pitcher for Roman Catholic High School, from which he graduated last Friday. One of five Cahillites to earn placement on the roster of manager Joe DeBarberie, of Drexel Hill’s Bonner-Prendergast, Grandelli took to the year-old field for the nine o’clock start with utter appreciation for the addition to his baseball rĂŠsumĂŠ. “I messed around with other sports to have fun, but this is what stood out to me,â€? the young man said of his eight-year infatuation with our national pastime. “I know about and respect many of the guys who’ve played in the Carpenter Cup, so it’s a thrill to have a chance to get to be a part of a great experience.â€? Beautiful weather and a dedicated fanbase greeted the Catholic leaguers in starting their involvement in a competition that draws plenty of scouts. The 16team gathering has customarily started play in Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, with semifinal and championship tilt action occurring at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way. Organizers dubbed the Catholic League the home team, with

plaque, defeating The Prep 3-2 May 28. “I’d say we’re a scrappy team,� Grandelli observed of the Purple and Gold. “There’s really no one player to focus all of your attention on because we play as a whole, and I think that’s what made us have a nice year.� The Cahillites registered an 8-4 mark in league play, including a 2-0 triumph over Neumann-Goretti May 5. The Saints, however, scored revenge in a playoff quarterfinal, winning 2-1 on the way to their fifth title in eight seasons. The East Passyunk Crossing school also had five players on the roster, but none played, electing not to risk injury ahead of today’s state championship duel versus Bishop McCort. While Grandelli could not celebrate a league title this year, he gained a ton of applause in the third inning, making a terrific play to his left to throw out a speedy Garden State player. In the home fourth, he stepped to the plate with two on and nobody out and delivered a run-scoring grounder. The Catholic League added another score in the frame and one in the eighth, by which time he had left the lineup. The visitors tallied twice in the ninth, but a pop up with a man on third ended the threat and will give the hosts a chance to play for a semifinal spot at 10:30 Friday against Delaware South on the adjacent Richie Ashburn Field. “It was great to have the support today,� Grandelli said after receiving congratulations. “I hope we’re able to keep going.� Headed for Immaculata University in the fall, the ardent adolescent, torn between journalism and sports management, will experience no such athletic angst this summer, as he plans to play for the Philly Blue Sox. “I want to keep sharp because I love this game,� the future Mighty Mac said. “It brings out the best in me as an athlete and helps me to grow as a person, too.� SPR
