atalie Stone possesses as much skill making metaphors as she does biscotti. “If I could be a spice, it would be garlic because the longer it simmers, the more pervasive yet subtle its influence,” she said. The former resident of the 1100 block of Titan Street operates Bella’s Biscotti from her Medford Lakes, N.J., home. Eager to advance her culinary career and to promote the power of following one’s dreams, she will appear on the July 20 episode of “Rocco’s Dinner Party,” a month-old addition to the Bravo channel.

Members of St. Casimir Parish received Holy Communion from Rev. Peter Burkauskas, background, left, at Sunday Mass, one of seven weekly chances for the community to display its faith. A new identity for the 118-year-old parish began two weeks ago with an announcement from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

he canonical Gospels all tell of The Feeding of the 5000, the miracle through which Jesus Christ multiplied five barley loaves and two fish to feed a famished crowd. The members of St. Casimir Parish, 324 Wharton St., likely

wish their savior would similarly increase them to strengthen their spiritual home’s identity. They will need to alter their petitions, as the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced the merger of their 118-yearold church with Fairmount’s St. Andrew Parish, July 1. The combination makes the Pennsport location an alternate worship site for St.

Andrew’s 761 registrants. The oldest among three Philadelphia churches serving Lithuanians, St. Casimir will depend on the youngest for assistance. “I make an analogy that this was the mother, who has turned 118, and now her daughter is going to be helping her. That’s See ST. CASIMIR page 10

What are your thoughts on Casey Anthony’s not-guilty verdict and her upcoming release Sunday? “I feel like she was judged by her peers and they have a good reason to acquit her.” Michelle Ressler, 11th Street and Oregon Avenue

“A video was leaked, and it was a scam. I think that’s unfortunate. There was a verdict. I think everyone should chill.” Delia Mirarchi, 10th and Tasker streets

“I think she needs to be in jail. [She] had something to do with killing [her] child. It is not OK.” Carmela Truell, Bancroft and Reed streets

“There was not enough evidence for a conviction. Despite the media convicting her, she had a fair trial. It is good to see you can still get a fair trial in America.” Ryan Buchanan, South Clarion Street

Casey Anthony: The aftermath To the Editor: As all the world knows, Casey Anthony, who was found not guilty last week in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, will be released from prison on Sunday. Before we cleanse our minds of the sordid affair and wash our hands of cast of characters who make the Borgias look like a model of family values, it’s worth pausing to think how we all might respond on Sunday to Anthony’s freedom. I can’t claim to have followed the sensational trial closely and really only tuned in to the media frenzy that surrounded it in the aftermath of the verdict’s announcement. But from that distance, I am prepared to sign on to the national consensus that in all likelihood, Anthony bore responsibility for the death of her little girl. When the verdict was announced, I asked a veteran court observer to comment on it for the blog I edit for the National Constitution Center. What my colleague, Lyle Denniston, wrote was that from the perspective of the Constitution, the trial jury did what they were supposed to do. “The Constitution’s Sixth Amendment does not promise, and does not require, a perfect trial in any criminal case,” he said. “The amendment does guarantee that the trial will be fair.” He went on to explain the difference between factual guilt and legal innocence, a distinction that a number of commentators have drawn in the aftermath of the not-guilty verdict: Just because you’re found not guilty doesn’t mean that you’re innocent. Determinations of factual guilt, Denniston explained, are unencumbered by the safeguards the Constitution erects to secure the rights of criminal defendants through jury trials. And those safeguards are considerable. It’s almost impossible to exaggerate the importance of juries to our Constitution’s design. They appear in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Amendments — three of the 10 amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights. To pronounce guilt, juries must determine that prosecutors have narrowly met the burden of legal proof “beyond a reasonable doubt.” The media and the rest of us have wider ground on which to pronounce, and sometimes rush to, judgment. As a country, we have long argued over how far those constitutional safeguards should go, and we will continue to do so long after Anthony is forgotten. Civil libertarians, fear-

ing the rush to judgment, believe that criminal defendants’ rights are paramount, and thus that juries should err in that direction. Law-and-order proponents maintain that the Constitution’s safeguards should not be interpreted so strictly as to impede a jury’s ability to reach a correct verdict in particular cases. Was justice served in the Anthony case? The civil libertarian in me says, yes. I’m glad to live in a country that puts in the hands of ordinary citizens— a jury of our peers — a check on various forms of prosecutorial abuse. But as I stipulated at the outset, I have signed on to the national consensus that Anthony is, at best, a poster girl for maternal neglect and, at worst, a modern-day Medea. Which brings me back to the question of how to react on Sunday. If last week’s verdict was legally and constitutionally correct, then justice for Anthony lies outside the judicial system. As a society, we have other means to recalibrate the scales of justice. And we have used them before — notably in the case of O.J. Simpson, which turned him into a social pariah. How should we respond to Casey Anthony’s release on Sunday and the media circus that is sure to surround it? Ignore it. Dr. Steve Frank Chief Interpretive Officer National Constitution Center

Frozen in the moment To the Editor; As happy as I was to see President Barack Obama make a pit stop in Philadelphia (“Obama visits John’s Water Ice,” July 1), making me a believer that we are still on his radar (election time must be a coming), I was very unhappy at how all were acting while pretending to enjoy a water ice. If my memory serves me correctly, all of the pres’ local democrats were there smiling and waving to the crowd with a water ice in their hands. John’s Water Ice has been around for a long time. It offers the community a lot more than most of the politicians, through employment, tradition, family and neighborhood get-togethers, not to mention it’s a landmark. How many times since that visit have those Democratic politicians been back to support his business? This is a pure example of how that

old South Philly game was played back in the day, I think it was called Follow the Leader. I’m sure John’s, like many others, send their thanks. Andrew J. Dankanich South Philadelphia

Attention to pensions To the Editor: We can no longer afford big pensions for fat cats in Congress. With so many millions of Americans facing retirement with lost or reduced pensions, how is it that the richest of the rich never lose theirs? Low-level government employees need their pensions like most of us because they don’t make enough money to put away a stash to protect them from poverty in times like these. In the recent primary election, Philadelphians thought they were choosing City Council members who opposed DROP and, once elected, would vote to drop it. But that didn’t happen. They live high before and after retirement at the expense of those taking bologna sandwiches to work. I’m mad as hell over the way hardworking Americans are being treated both by corporate employers and by our government that are supposed to be looking out for our interests and not those that further their own greedy self-interests at our expense. Let’s go back to helping those in need. The average worker needs to be able to look forward to a Social Security benefit and an earned pension benefit from their employer to keep them out of poverty. If the average worker is left with only their 401(k) to fall back on, many of which have lost some value, then that’s all our government officials should be entitled to. Workers have had to give back so much that, for many, the American dream is lost. The governing elite are living the American dream. It’s time to call on them to share the sacrifice. Ralph Frank South Philadelphia

Steak proﬁts snatched An employee of a South Street establishment was robbed en route to the bank to deposit proceeds from the well-known eatery. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

perpetrator tackled a Queen Village cheesesteak shop’s manager and ran off with the store funds Sunday evening. The 60-year-old Jim’s Steaks manager left the 400-South-St. establishment at 5:37 p.m. to deposit $32,000 at TD Bank, 200 Lombard St., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He headed west on South Street and south on Leithgow Street toward his car, which was located on the 400 block of Bainbridge Street, when a man ran up from beside a parked automobile and tackled him on the 600 block of South Leithgow. The unknown perpetrator was unarmed and tried to grab the bag that contained the cash along with the manager’s identification card and personal credit cards, but struggled briefly before wrestling the pouch from him, Tolliver said. The offender fled south on Leithgow, east on Bainbridge and south on Fourth Street. The manager was unharmed, Tolliver said. The suspect, who witnesses saw hanging around the area prior to the robbery, was described as a black man with a light complexion, in his 20s, with shaggy hair and wearing a black T-shirt and tan shorts. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

Former E. Vare principal slain An Elkins Park man who was a local educator was killed earlier this month. His alleged killer was apprehended last week. David Lawrence, 39, of the unit block of North 50th Street in West Philly, allegedly killed Ennis Manns, 58, with a stick at 6:25 p.m. July 1 on the same block where he resides, according to the Police David Lawrence Public Affairs Unit. Manns died at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania 44 minutes after the attack due to head trauma. Police arrested Lawrence at 12:55 p.m. July 7 on the 4700 block of Walnut Street. The motive of the attack was unknown at press time.

Lawrence was charged with murder, robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, possession of an instrument of a crime and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, according to court records. He previously pled guilty to a 1991 robbery and served five years probation. Manns served as the principal at Edwin H. Vare School, 2100 S. 24th Street, between 2006 and ’08 before moving to a North Philly high school where he was assistant principal up until his ’10 retirement at which time he became an education consultant for curriculum and staff development at Universal Companies, 800 S. 15th St. Universal employees were in disbelief about his death, Dr. Janis Butler, Universal’s executive vice president for education, said in a statement. “Many on our education team are having difficulty coming to terms with this kind of senseless violence against a gentle man,” Butler said. “... He had been in our office just two days before his death. Ennis had an extremely positive way about him and a great sense of humor. He was a total team player and is already tremendously missed by the Universal family.” To report information, call Homicide Division at 215-686-3334 or visit www. phillypolice.com/forms.

Mugging turned burglary A man was robbed near his Pennsport home and then the offenders forced their way inside his adobe when they realized he resided nearby Monday. A 67-year-old parked his vehicle on the corner of South Howard and Wharton streets at 3:40 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When he hopped out of the car, a man armed with a dark-colored revolver pointed the firearm at him and told him not to move as two other men joined him from the other side of Wharton. The trio pushed him against the automobile and asked him about money at which time, the elderly man handed over $300, Tolliver said. They made him throw his keys to the ground and one of the men said, “he lives here. He has money in the house,” so the group pushed him inside his home. Two of the men scrimmaged through the second and third stories of the home while the third — armed with a shotgun — monitored the homeowner on the ground floor

Police Report and tried to bind his hands with wire ties, Tolliver said. After scouring the home and car, the trio fled on foot with $600 total and the man’s keys before entering a white van or SUV headed south on Front Street. The man’s 61-year-old wife was asleep in the home, but the couple was unharmed, Tolliver said. The offender with the shotgun was described as black with a dark complexion, age 30 to 35, 220 to 240 pounds, unshaven, with short hair and wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. The other two were described as age 30 to 35, thin and wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans. One of the latter also was sporting a red baseball cap. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

Grazed anatomy A man received a graze wound to his face in West Passyunk. A 21-year-old was waiting for the No. 7 SEPTA bus at 22nd and McKean streets when an unknown man biking by fired shots at him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The victim ran to the 2000 block of South Norwood Street where he called police. He was transported to the HUP in stable condition.

Car riddled with bullets Bullets struck two who were driving along Oregon Avenue Saturday night. A pair of men were shot as they cruised east on the 300 block of Oregon Avenue at 11 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The 39-yearold driver sped off when he heard gunfire hitting the vehicle. He was struck in the left buttocks while his 35-year-old passenger suffered a graze wound to his lower back. The driver headed to Methodist Hospital, but was transferred to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in stable condition, Tolliver said. The younger man did not seek medical treatment. While neither saw who fired shots at them, police located their 2006 Buick with multiple bullet holes throughout and confiscated it as evidence, Tolliver said. The motive was unknown at press time.

Lawrence filled prescriptions such as oxycodone, fentanyl, hydrocodone, alprazolam and promethazine with Codeine for drug dealers and addicts at his business — Young’s Pharmacy, 1306-08 South St. — between ’01 and ’06. As a part of these transactions, Young received cash, tips and lunches. To prevent his discovery, he set a cap for fraudulent prescriptions he would fill each day. Joseph L. Borkson pled guilty to issuing the invalid prescriptions and was sentenced to five years in jail in September. In addition to his jail sentence that is set to begin by noon Aug. 8, Young has to pay a $400,000 fine and serve three years of supervised release and a special assessment of $400, as well as $1,270,246 in forfeiture, according to court records. Young appealed the sentence Monday.

STONE

continued from page 1 her youth, when her maternal grandmother initiated her in the ways of Sicilian cuisine, Stone only recently had her epicurean epiphany. “I would make these horrible sauces and dried ravioli,” she said of preliminary attempts at gastronomical greatness. Graduation from The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College and employment at several notable Center City establishments followed, enabling the 41-year-old mother of five to establish an enviable infatuation with cooking every day. Numerous accolades from friends and family members became hers, and many implored her to teach, especially because of their admiration for her cuccìa, a traditional Sicilian dessert that she prepares with wheat balls, Italian cream, chocolate chips, cinnamon and vanilla. Her biscotti, however, proved most capable of sating each craving. “My grandmother, mother and sisters made them, too,” she said of the almond biscuits that often use anise for added flavor. She found their output delicious but yearned to make smaller, softer versions. A discussion with her husband Anthony led her to give her handiwork a larger audience. “He told me he wanted for me to pursue what would make me happy,” Stone said. “I’ve been giving it a whirl and would not be able to do it without him.” The “it” refers to running her business and its accompanying website. Named after her youngest child, her venture offers seven flavors, including lemon and orange pecan, which she makes as tributes to Sicilian baking’s emphasis on citrus fruits. Recognition has begun to intensify, as a few restaurants in Medford Lakes, her residence for the last 28 years, have served her diminutive delights to patrons. With an acting background as well, which she has forged with commercial, film, television and voice-over work, she decided to see if performing on a reality competition show could further her philosophy that stress and fear are motivators that enhance persuasive and expressive skills. “A friend convinced me to audition,” Stone, who admitted to fear about participating because of the generally nerveracking nature of competition, said. Ready to ingest the experience, she completed filming early this year, marking the first time she has received intense scrutiny of her cooking since her student days. She did not need the spot on the show to note links between her careers, but the time certainly made the connections more endearing. “Acting and cooking are the most intense

eager to accumulate lessons from every situation, with special knowledge coming from her Bravo appearance. “My time on the show has let me know I do not need to do ritzy creations to be successful,” she said. “If I put love into each effort, I cannot be at all upset with myself.” She certainly will have no reasons to frown if she executes her largest goal, giving the biscotti business a boost. “I want to have too many orders to handle,” Stone, who plans for further distribution in her area and desires to place products in local homes and eateries, said with a laugh. “I am very, very, very grateful to Bravo and NBCUniversal. They provided me with the best and most fun experience of my life, aside from my wedding and the birth of my children.” Biscotti commonly find their way into cups of coffee and tea, as people use the liquids to reduce their crunch effect. Bearing a name that implies rigidity, Stone is fine with the altering of her works. One should not, however, expect for any challenge to misshape her. “Cooks, bakers, anyone who works in food, we all have to be willing to stand by our creations,” she said. “Unlike a sauce, I am irreducible.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ST. CASIMIR continued from page 1 the way families should be,” Rev. Peter Burkauskas, St. Casimir and St. Andrew’s pastor, said Sunday. Head of both parishes since 1998, he has seen the South Philadelphia spot’s registered figures drop slightly and St. Andrew’s rise significantly. From 2000 to ’10, St. Casimir’s parishioner count fell from 195 to 182, a 7 percent decline, while St. Andrew’s experienced a 59 percent bump by going from 479 to 761 worshipers. “The decision can’t come as any big shock,” Burkauskas said. “You can see the numbers are dwindling.” The soft-spoken priest celebrated the 9 a.m. Mass for nearly 40 followers. Though Roman Catholics are going through Ordinary Time, he and the believers know their church is not experiencing a typical period. “A new chapter has begun, but we are still here,” he said in his homily. “Our doors are still open, and Masses will be celebrated.” He spoke of this Saturday as a doubly special occasion, as it honors the Blessed Mother under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the 118th celebration of the first Mass for Philadelphia’s Lithuanian Catholics at the defunct St. Alphonsus Church, formerly 1400 S. Fourth St. Rev. Joseph Kaulakis, St. Casimir’s founding pastor, presided over that Mass, and the perseverance of his predecessor and other religious figures caused Burkauskas to laud the church as “a monument to Lithuanian faith and devotion.” He asked for increased attendance at Mass for the acquisition of understanding as the church enters a new phase. It will retain its name but must deal with debt incurred from the Archdiocese’s assistance in allowing the school, which closed the year after, to reach 100 years in ’06. “We’re still St. Casimir’s,” Burkauskas said, repelling rumors that the space would lose its title and its role as a Pennsport staple. “May the God of peace make you perfect and holy.” A look around the church proves the deity has enabled its congregants to show their faith through art. The vestibule offers a dazzling depiction of two angels stretching a banner that reads “Iženk geras, išeik geresnis” or “Enter good, leave better.” Impeccable stained glass rests below images of Katharine Drexel, John Neumann, Elizabeth Ann Seton and Francis Cabrini, four prominent American saints, on the left side. Likenesses of St. Pio, the Venerable Maria Kaupas, Blessed George Matulaitis and Blessed Teresa of Calcutta dominate the right side. St. Casimir served as a royal prince of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and of

his native Poland. The Roman Catholic Church canonized him in 1522 and honors March 4 as his feast day. He held a great devotion to the Blessed Mother, and Pope Pius XII deemed him the special patron of all youth in 1948. The altar’s right side bears an image of his funeral, at which someone placed a copy of his favorite hymn, “Daily, Daily, Sing to Mary,” in his casket. The left shows one of his miracles, the raising of a dead girl at his Vilnius, Lithuania shrine. As one looks up from the pews, the inscription “Wonderful on earth, more wonderful in heaven” sums up the legacy of the saint, who died at 25. “He is definitely our protector,” Burkauskas said. THE DEVOTEES HAVE often needed their patron’s intercession, notably after fires in ’30 and ’51 that necessitated reconstruction. They, however, have not wanted for camaraderie among one another and certainly do not decry their size. “We’re small but we’re wonderful,” 58year parishioner Karen Lemba said. The resident of the 1900 block of South Galloway Street serves as a special minister of Holy Communion and often coordinates flea markets. She noted the church needs a new roof but is happy that come September, it will resume its Fellowship Sundays complete with cakes, cookies,

coffee and conversation. “We will be fine,” she said of the identity change. “We’re people of God and bend to his will.” “Change can bring sadness no matter how firm one’s faith is,” Burkauskas said. The affable figure convened with the parish council in late spring to discuss the site’s future, with analysis leading to the decision to merge. No longer a predominantly Lithuanian parish, St. Casimir, which began at Fifth and Carpenter streets as St. Anthony’s Chapel, has about 75 combined participants at its Sunday 9 a.m. gathering and Saturday 6 p.m. Vigil. Burkauskas fought to continue daily Mass, deeming the attendance “quite good.” Interaction with parishioners has proven equally positive. In addition to the merger, those supporters are facing another issue, the potential conversion of the former school into a 25-unit apartment building. Cosimo Tricarico, owner of Caffe Valentino, 1245 S. Third St., had his proposal rejected by the Department of Licenses and Inspections May 23. It calls for adding 41 feet to the 35-foot school space to accommodate two floors and a roof deck. A June 22 Zoning Board of Adjustment hearing gave him until yesterday to work out matters with displeased neighbors wary of property tax increases and trash. A decision is pending. Regardless of what may join the neigh-

borhood, Christian Angel German and Helen Wilkis will adore what it already has. German, a junior at Drexel Hill’s Monsignor Bonner High School, has helped as an altar server for eight years. Residents of 29th and Oakford streets, he and mother Jennie Martinez venture from Grays Ferry because of St. Casimir’s traditional Mass structure. “I like helping the older people and Father Peter,” German, who made his Holy Communion and Confirmation at the site, said of his contributions. “I graduated from here, had my wedding here, had my children’s baptisms here and attended my children’s weddings here,” Wilkis, a 79-year parishioner whose family was instrumental in St. Casimir’s founding, added. The resident of Fifth and Jackson streets cherishes the familial nature of her parish. Her daughter Cynthia Maguire acted as the lector for the service, offering St. Paul’s advice that “... our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.” Those words struck her mother as irrefutably apt. “I hope we will be around another 118 years,” Wilkis said. “God will look out for us in the end.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Yearly, Rocco travels back to his family’s native country to give back to the community. “I find I really enjoy my time down here. It’s something I never would have known about if I didn’t come,” Rocco said last week via a phone interview from Colombia, where he is spending his summer readying facilities for an exchange program he plans to begin this fall. Rocco has taught in a North Philadelphia middle school for 14 years. His day hours are spent lecturing about the intricacies of computer science with afternoons reserved for photography instruction. Two years ago Rocco, who was born and raised at Fifth and Tasker streets, began a program near Bogotá, Colombia, where he teaches students of all ages in the small village aspects of photography. “I built a dark room there and now I really enjoy teaching classes, more so even than the result.

I was enamored with Colombia.” Today, Rocco, who makes his home in Northern Liberties, is known for capturing images of the people of Colombia. Working with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program for the last few years reminded Rocco of his connection to the South Philadelphia section, as he spent countless days in the Italian Market with local artist Michelle Ortiz producing the Journey’s South installation “Different Paths, One Market.” “At Ninth and Montrose, we created a

gallery space there and I put my photographs up,” Rocco said of the exhibit no longer on view. “Michelle’s mom worked on the market for 20 years and the people know her, so we had an in with the Mexican vendors. It was easier to approach them. To get the stories we really wanted, they had to trust us. “People just associate those people with the fruit — it’s the guy that sells me the fruit, an object. Now, all of a sudden, there is a story behind the person and you see them in a new way.” Currently, Rocco is focused on getting his exchange project in place in the remaining month or so before he returns to teaching duty in Philadelphia. In his limited time he must make sure the farming town has working Internet in order to exchange photographs with Philadelphia and that there is someone in place equipped to oversee the photography class in Colombia during his absence. “It’s a really wonderful way of [working in] my passions,” Rocco said. “It’s most rewarding working down here [in Colombia], where the need is really great and the students really appreciate anything that I do.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

Teen mobs

K, it’s time to stop making politically correct excuses for teen-mob violence in Philadelphia. I know, I know. The economy sucks and the inner city is getting hardest hit by budget cuts. Summer jobs are more scarce in Philly than clean streets. But give me a break. These mobs that are beating up people and stealing their cell phones and stealing stuff from department stores can’t be shrugged off because times are tough. Only about 25 percent of teenagers nationwide are employed this summer, according an article by Annie Lowrey on slate.com, but presumably almost all of the other 75 percent are not kicking the crap out of folks. These are not kids who would be content to swim in their neighborhood public swimming pool. These are vicious street thugs who are not the victims, but the bullies. It’s also time we stop whispering that these marauding mobs are black kids, as if it is somehow the fault of all black people. These punks have been committing blackon-black crime for years and the only time white people get excited about it (and that includes me) is when their violence spills over into white communities. Teen thugs like this don’t respect each other or their own community, so it is no surprise they don’t respect the rest of us either, black or white. We worry about al-Qaida attacking us here at home, and rightly so. We have an entire federal agency — Homeland Security — and billions of dollars dedicated to the so-called War on Terror. But in the meantime, those of us who live in Philadelphia are trying to defend ourselves from another kind of home-grown terror that is much more of a real threat to our daily lives, whether you live in the inner city, shop in Center City or even take public transportation. When you have to be warned not to so much as look at a bunch of street kids for fear they misinterpret it as a stare and use it as an excuse to beat the living crap out of you, then we are in deep trouble. When you have to be afraid to eat at an outdoor café because a bunch of teen thugs might want to use you as a punching bag for their amusement, then we are in danger of losing tourism and killing business in a town that can ill afford it. When you have to be afraid that carrying a cell phone might make you a target, what the hell does that

say about who really controls the streets of this city? Please don’t toss those crime statistics at me. Don’t insult my intelligence by telling me things are not out of the ordinary or this too will pass. I don’t care what the hell the crime statistics show, but I sure can measure the fear on the streets today. I know if a large group of loud, inner-city kids shows up, I’m finding someplace else to be. And that doesn’t make me feel good about myself because I know many inner-city kids themselves are victims of this senseless violence and are getting unfairly lumped in with the street punks simply because of their color or their hip-hop clothing. It stinks that a lot of us feel this way. As far as the teen mob violence fading away when the weather gets cold, I’m not content having to pray for winter. Besides, we all know these same punks then take their violence inside school walls and threaten teachers and their fellow students. I don’t have the answers. I only know it seems to be getting worse. I used to think it was the drugs, but even drugs don’t explain what is happening. It doesn’t explain the coldness in the hearts of some of these kids that don’t seem to feel a thing when they are stomping on some poor victim. It’s not even just a boy thing anymore. You can’t blame it all on upsurge in testosterone to explain the girls who are joining in the chaos and digging the violence as much as the boys. No kid is born bad, they say, and maybe so. But some of these street mobs are composed of kids so young and so violent even the juvenile court system is overwhelmed by them. It is as if through years of neglect and rage, we have raised some poisonous weeds that are threatening to kill anything beautiful around them. There is no belief system, no compassion and even no fear of dying. They are living for that violent moment of pouncing on the unsuspecting victim and picking them clean like a bird of prey. We have heard a lot about how the technology of social networking has made it difficult to prevent these roving bands of young thugs from meeting to plan their violence, but this is beyond a Twitter or Facebook problem. When you can send out a message within minutes that can summon a group of teenagers hell bent on creating havoc, the medium is only a small part of the problem. The real problem is there is a teen mob out there only too ready to be told where to meet so they can feast on you or me. How do we reason with kids who don’t value anything, even themselves? How do we stem the violence of kids who have already lost their souls? SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

‘Bosses’ out of whack

Frustrated with their respective jobs, Nick (Jason Bateman), from left, Kurt (Jason Sudeikis), and Dale (Charlie Day) look to ex-con Dean “MF” Jones (Jamie Foxx) for a plan to kill their bosses.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

s revenge fantasies go, “Horrible Bosses” has termination-level priority problems. Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) are friends bound by their mutual loathing of their bosses — a heartless financier (Kevin Spacey), a sex-crazed dentist (Jennifer Aniston) and a cokehead industrial heir (Colin Farrell), respectively. Way too effective in its half-assedness, the trio’s plan to off the overlords is dying for urgency, as no guy ever stops to truly grasp the gravity of the situation. Assassination feels like a Post-It on a film about manboys being manboys, and it certainly doesn’t help that the bosses make better company. Spacey is in sinful actorly bliss, zealously shooting off insults like he’s keeping a tally (don’t expect many understated “Devil Wears Prada” jabs here). Though especially shortchanged, Farrell wholly embraces his uglification (comb-over and all), along with a daft vocabulary of political incorrectness. And Aniston has never invited us to so gleefully partake in her presence, dropping hysterical sexpletives that’ll leave Rachel Green fans in tears, for one reason or another. But the outrageous baddies don’t get much play beyond their intros, while the spotlight-hogging slaves devolve into their types — Kurt the hopeless skirt-chaser, Dale the shrill unmasculine fool and Nick the grandma’s boy who fades into the background. The laughs come hard and often when “Horrible Bosses” kicks off, and you sense you might be witnessing a new classic of workplace rebellion — the “Office Space” for the age of take-what-you-can-get em-

ployment (a desperate subplot about a very desperate Wall Street failure is the closest the movie comes to outright addressing its relevance). But what emerges feels miles away from the film’s high concept, which proves little more than a fun-on-paper ploy for yet more inane male banter. Directed by Seth Gordon, whose last misstep was “Four Christmases,” “Horrible Bosses” underscores the vastness of the gulf between great comedies. Instead of a worthwhile recharge station to tide us over, what we usually get is stuff like this: A comedy about whacking, out of whack.

Horrible Bosses R Two reels out of four Now playing in area theaters

Recommended Rental Potiche R Available Tuesday The great Catherine Deneuve stars in this flamboyant lark about a tyrannical factory owner’s pampered spouse — the title translates to “trophy wife” — who takes over the business following a staff revolt. Sordid histories abound in a bright milieu of 1970s flash, as director Francois Ozon delivers the rare feminist film that’s confident enough to laugh at itself.

Schlesinger’s Delicatessen By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

rench cuisine remains my favorite, but I hanker for an authentic Jewish deli. About a year, I discovered Delicatessen, 703 Chestnut St. I have always enjoyed a fine meal there. But the deli gods are smiling upon us. While strolling up Locust Street a few weeks ago, I noticed Schlesinger’s Delicatessen, which replaced Kibitz Room. I no longer have to schlep to Seventh and Chestnut when I crave hot fatty pastrami on rye, kreplach soup, nova, eggs and onions, and hamantaschen so fine, with buttery flaky dough that melts in your mouth, that would have made my grandmother jealous. Schlesinger’s is a no-frills space with simple tables and chairs, a TV for viewing, display cases filled with everything from smoked fish to sweets and a free condiment bar loaded with half-done pickles, cucumber salad, potato salad, sauerkraut and health slaw. I’ve been to Schlesinger’s on several occasions. The only disappointments were the entrées at dinnertime. Schlesinger’s offers soup and a half sandwich for $8.95. I have tried three soups. All were as fine as mine. Matzo ball soup is made with heavenly chicken stock and fresh dill. The dumpling was a floater not a sinker. The stock was made with carrots and onions and included bow tie pasta. The beef kreplachs were little pillows of dough filled with seasoned, chopped meat. They were just a bit larger Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

than gnocchi. Mushroom barley is a favorite from my childhood. Schlesinger’s version was rich with chopped carrots, onions and celery along with heady mushrooms in a light chicken stock. All of the soups arrived piping hot. Now on to the stars of the show: The corned beef and the pastrami ($8.95). More than 8 ounces of meat were piled high on Kaplan’s fresh, slightly chewy, crusty rye. I asked for fatty corned beef because the lean stuff does not cut the mustard with me. I smeared on some brown mustard and was in deli heaven. Although I liked the corned beef, the pastrami was the big winner. It is juicy, filled with smoky flavor and not a bit salty. I do not know who first decided to scramble eggs with nova and onions. This person should get a culinary medal. Nova, eggs and onions ($10.95) can be enjoyed either scrambled or as a pancake. I prefer the softly scrambled version. My breakfast was a triumph. You get a choice of toast or a toasted bagel. A nicely toasted poppy seed bagel with cream cheese along with thinly sliced home-fried potatoes completed my breakfast. La Colombe coffee ($2) is served here. At dinner, we sampled roasted chicken ($15.95) and angus brisket of beef ($15.95). You get a choice of either soup or salad and one side dish. The chicken was overcooked, dry and anemic. Edward opted for potato pancakes as a side and alas, they were dry

and lifeless. My brisket was perfectly cooked and thinly sliced, but the gravy looked like viscous hot fudge sauce. My dinner was cold and salty. Our server brought me some plain brisket with no gravy that fared better. It was toted home along with a half of Kaplan’s rye for sandwiches the next day. The side of kasha and bows, however, was splendid. Do not under any circumstances miss the hamantaschen ($3). I sampled prune and apricot and can honestly tell you they were as fine as the ones my grandmother so lovingly baked during Purim. The pastry just melts in your mouth and the fruit fillings are fresh and not at all sweet. Schlesinger’s offers a full deli menu. You can even order fried matzo even

though Passover is a memory. The deli is now one of my go-to places for breakfast, brunch or lunch. At the dinner hour, however, I’ll go for sandwiches, soups or smoked fish. Two-and-a-half tips of the toque to Schlesinger’s Delicatessen. SPR

Richard Grausman could be e considered an ambassador to France in the cooking world. A recent encounter in the Big Ap pple led to a tasty conversation about French food. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

■ Broiled Tomatoes ■ with Garlic and Herbs (Tomates a la Provencal)

Ingredients: 3 medium to large tomatoes, cut in half crosswise

3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 1 shallot, finely chopped 1/4 teaspoon of fresh or dried thyme leaves 5 sprigs of parsley, chopped 1/3 cup of bread crumbs Pinch each of salt and freshly ground pepper Directions: Place the tomatoes skin side up in a roasting or broiling pan. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the garlic and shallot and gently sauté until softened, but not browned, for about two minutes. Add the thyme and remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley and enough of the bread crumbs to absorb the oil. Season with the salt and pepper. Spread the bread-crumb mixture over the tops of the tomatoes. Just before serving, preheat the broiler. Broil the tomatoes 3 to 4 inches from the heat until they are heated through and the crumbs are browned, for about three minutes. If the tomatoes are ripe, they will emerge from the broiler hot (but not fully cooked), soft, moist and flavorful. Serves six. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

“By the way, Madame Brassart was not as nasty and mean as she was depicted in ‘Julie and Julia,’” he said with a smile. A natural born teacher and prolific writer, in ’90, Grausman founded Careers through Culinary Arts Program, a nonprofit organization in public high schools. His daughter Jennifer Grausman directed “Pressure Cooker,” an awardwinning film about Wilma Stephenson and her cooking students at Frankfort High School where she runs a culinary boot camp. Chef Peter Rosenblatt owes his career to the program. The 30 year-old Chef de Restaurant at the Fountain Restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel began Saturday morning classes at Northeast High. “My mother has been a bartender at Moonstruck for many years,” he said. “Toto Schiavone and Claire DiLullo, who own Moonstruck, saw how much I loved to cook so they sent me to The Culinary Institute of America.” Rosenblatt has been with the Four Seasons for nine years. He cooked lunch for me and is a most talented man. It sounds corny but he is as happy as a clam in his chosen profession.

nlike Nora Ephron, Ina Garten, Julie Powell and hosts of Americans, I did not learn how to cook French food by plodding through “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” by Julia Child. In 1988, when I was in my late salad days as a food columnist, Workman Publishing sent me a copy of “At Home with the French Classics,” by Richard Grausman. The book became my bible as I cooked my way through it preparing everything from coq au vin to soufflés. Workman recently sent me an updated version of Grausman’s fine tome. “French Classics Made Easy” should make its way into your home library. I wanted to meet the man responsible for

teaching me how to cook French food. On a hot late June day, I took the train to New York City and lunched with Grausman at Asiate in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The views of Central Park from the 34th floor were breathtaking. Grausman, who is 73, grew up on the Upper East Side. His father was a physician and he has an older brother who is an artist. He told me his family employed a cook. “My first food memory is cream of wheat,” he said as he lifted a spoon of pureed corn soup to his lips. “I went to the George School in Bucks County and then to the University of North Carolina.” After graduation, Grausman went into the import/export business. His boss signed up for a series of cooking classes. “He told me he had to miss two of them and since they were already paid for, my Jewish guilt kicked in. I told him I would go in his place,” Grausman said. The teacher turned out to be James Beard. Grausman liked to cook only as a hobby. One day he decided to make cooking and teaching his career. In 1967, he enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. He earned his diploma and was asked by the school’s owner, Madame Elisabeth Brassart, to be the school’s first exclusive representative. He taught in major cities throughout the country.

Two years have passed since I’ve seen your smile brighten up a room. Everytime there is joy in my life with your nephew it is tainted because you’re not here to share it with me. There are many times I want to pickup the phone and call you. There will forever be a hole in my heart. Make sure you hold me a spot up there so we can spend eternity together!

Love and Miss you, Kim

Rita Gallo

Sadly missed by your husband Vince, your children, grandchildren family and friends.

“Gone Too Soon” Like a comet blazing ‘cross the evening sky, Like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye, Gone too soon. Shiny and sparkly and splendidly bright, Here one day, gone one night. Like a castle built upon a sandy beach, Like a perfect flower that is just beyond your reach,Gone too soon. Born to amuse, inspire and delight, Here one day, gone one night. Like the loss of sunlight on a cloudy afternoon, Like the sunset dying with the rising moon,Gone too soon, gone way too soon. Love Always and Forever, Mom and Dad

Two years have gone by without seeing your BEAUTIFUL SMILE, each day is harder than the day before. People tell us that it will get easier with time. Well, they’re wrong. The longer that we do not see you, hold you or kiss you goodnight, the harder it is. You leaving us so suddenly left so many unanswered questions. The hardest thing for us is knowing that your Daughter must grow up without her MOMMY. This BREAKS OUR HEARTS. Your Father and I miss you so much, Words cannot describe the LOVE we feel for you and the LOSS that we feel every single day of our lives. We still cannot believe that you are not here with us. Our HEARTS are still BROKEN and will not be fixed until we meet again.

WE MISS YOU WITH EVERY BEAT OF OUR HEART

MOMMY AND DADDY.

Must-see bocce A Bella Vista park celebrated its second Kids’ Fair with a spirited tournament. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

One of 10 rookies, Christopher carried his O intensity into his round but lost a 10-8 contest. “It sounded like fun, so I decided to play,” he said of entering. “I did well for my first time. I’ll be back next year.” His 6-year-old brother Bryant was determined not to let the family go winless. Teaming with 11-year-old cousin Karen Tlacop Pilco of the 1000 block of South Ninth Street, the ball of energy proved a great marksman, placing his two-handed heaves within inches of the pallino and sending his balls right at his competitors’ offerings, putting the latter in terrible positions. In their semifinal, he gained some vindication, knocking off his brother’s vanquishers in a 9-7 decision. THE BOCCE TOURNAMENT and other events, including summer concerts, owe their existence to the 20-year-old friends group. Occupying the area that from 1904 to ’68 served as the Community Hospital, the park has thrived since ’99, as the Department of Recreation has greatly assisted its evolving identity. The City agency that year made the friends group part of the Parks Revitalization Project, enabling members to receive

competitors with the th he co comp mpet eti tit itor itor orss wi ithh a des ddescription escr es criip cr ipti tion ion of of the thhe rules. Their attention never wavered as he revealed that every scoring period, or giro, begins with the rolling of a small ball, the pallino. Each team guides one heavier ball along the court to determine whose orb is closer to the pallino. The rules deem the closer roll’s owner “inside.” The other unit must then try to top the opponent’s position by rolling its next ball. If the second toss has more accuracy, the original leader follows with an attempt, but, if not, the trailing team continues until it either gains supremacy or exhausts its ball allotment. When the duos have run out of balls, an official determines scoring by proximity to the often yellow pallino. With four rolls, a team can score as many as four points in a period, with winners needing anywhere from eight to 15 points to win a round. Filled with knowledge and excitement, the children sped practice tries down the 90-foot court, with a roll from Christopher Corona leaving Larry Puppin amazed. “Are you a professional?” he asked the 10-year-old resident of Sixth and Dickinson streets.

f the children who ventured tured to SatSatturday’s second annual Kids’ Fa Fair airr ntain even ev ven en at Bardascino Park maintain hey coul ld a trace of their tenacity, they could help bocce, often marginalized lized as a game for old men, to challenge enge tenni tennis niss for the title of “the sport of a lifetim lifetime.” me.” mbini B occAs participants in the Bambini Bocngstters ce Tournament, the youngsters toiled in the sun at the 10t 10ththhand-Carpenter-streets site yyet et et flashed gigantic smiles an and nd rttsdisplayed the type of sportsinn, manship that Larry Puppin, the competition’s creator, hhad ad d hoped to witness. For nearly four hours, the he 20 20 tykes, with an age range of 5 to 12, furthered the park’ss 34-yea 34-year earr reputation as a haven for happiness. h i They Th also showed the Bella Vista space’s summer league soon will have a new generation of talented tossers. As noon approached, the eager entrants in the single-elimination affair began to form two-person teams. Their anticipation delighted Carla Puppin, a member of the Friends of Bardascino Park, the day’s sponsor. “We have so many families who enjoy the park, so we figured we would hold the event to gather them and to get them engaged with our friends group, too,” the resident of 10th and Carpenter streets said. “It’s fun to be able to offer fun to the kids, especially the ones about to try bocce.” “There is a lot of demand for bocce around here,” her husband, an avid player, added. One can find proof of that in the park’s nine-year-old, 48-member summer league that includes parent-child teams. No separate children’s league exists, but one could form if sufficient parental availability were to mesh with juvenile interest. As crafts, food, a magic show and a raffle sought to seal the other attendees’ enjoyment, Larry Puppin aimed to amp up

leadership training, partake in skills workshops and compete for grants. Four years later, it chose the park as one of 12 sites for capital improvements, a move that included the bocce court’s renovation. “People come from Norristown to play,” Larry Puppin said. The group held a fundraiser for the court at the South Philadelphia Older Adult Center, 1430 E. Passyunk Ave. June 11. While Larry Puppin and others are eager to preserve the elderly’s affiliation with the game, they are thrilled to expose new minds and arms to the sport. The finals featured Bryant and Karen against Marcel Rostrioli and Shane Cohen-Mungan. The latter pair had minimal drama in its two prior rounds and relaxed by throwing a wiffle ball against a wall. Precise rolls led Larry Puppin to make several measurements of the balls’ distances from the pallino to determine a giro’s leader, with each assessment drawing a crowd. With his cousin’s guidance, Bryant executed great rolls, but Marcel and Shane seemed intent on securing the winners’ trophies and the five accompanying water ice certificates. The boys removed suspense by amassing four points in a single period to take a 6-0 lead. Bryant and Karen launched respectable rolls, but their foes responded with attempts that either gave them an exact touch, or kiss, of the pallino or left them within inches of it. The first-to-10 round looked as if it could end in a shutout, as the boys grabbed a 9-0 advantage. Bryant recovered three points, but he and his cousin had to settle for the runners-up trophies and three water ice certificates, as Marcel and Shane triumphed 10-3. “I feel so happy,” the 8-year-old Marcel said. A resident of the 1200 block of Ellsworth Street and a to-be third-grader at a Center City’s ICS Independence Charter School, he had played at Bardascino before but never in a competition. “This is my first time playing,” Shane, of the 700 block of Pemberton Street, said. The nine-year-old to-be fourth grader at William Meredith School, 725 S. Fifth St., waved his certificates and slapped hands with his lifelong pal. “They were good,” he said of his opponents. “We weren’t calm at the beginning, but after we had such a good start, we weren’t nervous.” “We’re happy to have won,” Roscioli said. “What a great day.” SPR
