any Americans can recall the faint echo of the familiar opening line of the U.S. Constitution “We the people…” from past years of education. However, America’s relatively short journey, which has been plagued by issues of racism and sexism, has left the meaning of “We” slightly ambiguous. “World War II was a pivotal moment in history where we redefined what it means to be an American citizen,” Nora BergerGreen, the director of theater programs and co-artistic director at the National Constitution Center in Old City, said.

oanna Galdo chose to become a teacher, but fate has rendered her a fighter. For the last 12 years, the resident of the 3100 block of South 18th Street has matched her resolve against brain cancer’s advance, enduring four surgeries to combat her affliction’s might. Only 30, the stouthearted figure learned in July that she
might succumb to her equally unflinching opponent within the next year. Galdo fainted two days after having her wisdom teeth removed in August 1999, with an X-ray computed tomography and an MRI revealing a diffuse astrocytoma, a relatively slow-growing tumor. Her medical team proceeded to remove the benign intruder’s visible portions Sept. 10, ’99, the day before her 19th birthday. An elementary and special educations major
at LaSalle University at the time, Galdo aimed to overcome misfortune, much like she had successfully done at age 9 when she lost her mother to breast cancer. “I was shocked, devastated and scared,” she said from the home she shares with Loretta Galdo, the grandmother who reared her. “However, I decided I had to fight and to win.” See GALDO page 8

Go to the wall!
To the Editor: I read an article by Tom Cardella (“I hate Wall Street,� Aug. 18) and agreed with some of his complaints. I agree with him that President Barack Obama is a nice guy in the same comparison as another lawyer, Vladimir Lenin, even Leon Trotsky. These Wall Street bandits can be rounded up and sent away to camps to make way for a socialist worker’s utopia. We would all be equal except for the communist party elite, who would be more equal. We would happily wait in line for bread, maybe ride a stateowned bus or train. People like me who are in poor health would turn in their Chevrolets and wait for transport. President Obama hit me hard with a large cut on my small pension and made the medicine I need to stay alive much harder and more expensive to buy. He eliminated open season for federal retirees. Mr. Cardella should realize there are no guarantees in this life and maybe leave his money in an FDIC-insured bank. I own an American drug and an Italian auto company. I’ve done OK, although I didn’t like the foreign auto company (Fiat S.p.A) buying a junk company like Chrysler. President Obama’s stimulus package seems a failure, big time. The stock market has been a gamble. I think President Franklin Roosevelt established the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to police the stock exchange. It seems like bandits like George Soros and many of President Obama’s backers have a free reign. I don’t believe all business people or politicians are dishonest; however, many are. I think we should have the free market system and get rid of people like Soros and Obama. In the end, we should buy more American-made and owned products and put import duty on Asian products, even those assembled here by non-union laborers.
want to be in charge of wages. They have outsourced most of the jobs we did have. If you don’t have jobs for our people to work at, you don’t have people able to pay taxes, and, if people can’t pay taxes, government and private obligations cannot be met, people lose their homes, cars and most assets accumulated, and our tax base goes completely to hell. So what do they also cause? Of course food prices are reaching sky rocket increases, and they made sure they would drain the public of the few dollars they may have had in reserve in the choking rise of energy prices, money they could have been spending otherwise on so many consumer goods and now must forego as oil companies gain tens of billions of dollars in profits. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Consumer spending is way off because people don’t have what they used to have to spend, yet they permit the raising of bridge tolls, parking and property taxes and now are going to raise fees for car registration, auto tags, titles and driver’s licenses. Gee, I wonder why consumer spending is so way off. Don’t you, too? I am so proud of the people we have put in charge of our country and our very lives, aren’t you? They certainly have plenty to put into consumer spending. They don’t have to worry

about gasoline prices because they have government-issued cars and chauffeurs, paid-for car and health insurance, pay no tolls and parking fees and go to the best living facilities money can buy, paid for by us. What? Pay fair taxes? You must be kidding. They and only they are responsible for driving us all deeper and deeper into debt and right into the very ground, and what do we all do in response? Why, of course, we reelect them for another term to finish out the ruining of America and permit the ghoulish likes of the Tea Party, who are interested only in their money and not for a secure, robust America to legislate, and if you happen to be poor or low income, drop dead! I truly wish and long for the day that voters get smart and wake up to what the criminals in public office are doing to America. It no longer is our country, and they have taken complete control and made America their own big pie. So until you do get smart, suffer on. You asked for it, and, boy, are you getting it with more hurt to come. I’m thinking of a move to Canada. How about you? Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia

taxi driver making a stop ended up needing to arrange his own ride Saturday. The 39-year-old man arrived on the 2700 block of Winton Terrace at 1 a.m. to pick up a fare, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The intended passenger walked to the driver’s side of the Olde City Taxi and demanded money after pointing a shotgun. Receiving $60, the suspect requested more before having the man exit the vehicle. After placing his would-be driver in the trunk, the offender drove away, but his captive escaped by using the emergency release and observed the car going toward Vare Avenue. The commandeering figure struck a parked tractor trailer on Vare Avenue and Mifflin Street, with the hit to the vehicle’s battery compartment and fuel tank causing the taxi heavy front end damage and the offender’s evacuation, Tolliver said. Diesel fuel spillage created a hazardous materials situation that required the arrival of the Fire, Streets and Water departments and hazmat personnel, Tolliver said. Authorities towed the taxi to the police garage for processing. The offender continued his nefarious morning at 1:20 a.m. by approaching a vehicle traveling southbound on the 1600 block of 32nd Street, Tolliver said. With his weapon, he approached a 33-year-old woman, who immediately accelerated. His firearm struck and shattered the passenger side’s front window. At about 2 a.m., a man who had exited a bar on 29th and Tasker streets found a white baseball hat and a rifle under a parked vehicle. His discovery on the west side of the 1500 block of South 29th Street led him to flag down a passing police officer. Detectives responded, secured the weapon and collected evidence. The offender was described as black; ad name: Alfonso Madrid mid 20s; 5-foot-7; 160 pounds; having size: braids; and wearing a1/4white baseball hat, expected run date: 8/25/11 a tankdesigner top and dark blue pants. initials: DP To report information, call South Derev #1: tectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit rev #2: www.phillypolice.com/forms. rev #3: publication: sales rep:

Register ripoff
An East Passyunk Crossing store became the victim of a thirsty would-be
thief Friday. Police responded at approximately 10 p.m. to a robbery in progress at San Agus Mini Market, 1247 Snyder Ave., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The offender grabbed the register and started to pull it from its place after the 24-year-old female owner began to ring up his purchase of a bottle of iced tea. The supposed customer found a screwdriver near the register and tried to pry off the container from the counter. Successful in his attempt, he ran toward the exit, where a 35-year-old man entering the shop tried to stop him. Their struggle led the offender to drop the register, but he slashed the good samaritan in the upper left arm with the screwdriver, Tolliver said. The offender fled the store, running northbound on 13th Street and then eastbound on Mercy Street. His victim has not sought medical treatment. The alleged attacker was described as black with a dark complexion; age 25 to 30; 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8; having a thin build and scruffy facial hair; and wearing a red shirt. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.
Oh shoot! A South of South resident had to run into his home to avoid gunfire last week. The 18-year-old summoned police to the 1500 block of Catharine Street at approximately 8:59 p.m. Aug. 24 to state that a man unknown to him had shot at him from across the block, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After observing ballistics evidence, the officers learned the complainant, who sustained no injuries, had run into his house to escape the discharge and that the gunman had fled north on Hicks Street. Authorities combed the area for a suspect, witnesses and surveillance camera that may have caught the incident, but no results are available, Tolliver said. The suspect was described as black; 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10; having a skinny build; and wearing a dark-colored shirt, tan shorts and a dark-colored cloth over his face and head. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

A fashionable filcher An after-hours theft has left a Lower Moyamensing business short of about $300. The 29-year-old owner of Fashionably Ever After, 2403 S. Broad St., notified authorities at 8:50 a.m. Saturday that someone had activated her establishment’s alarm, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Personnel had secured the spot, which had no signs of damage, at approximately 5:15 p.m. the previous night, but she learned of the alarm’s activation at 8:26 a.m. and trekked to the location, finding items on the floor and a cashbox containing $284 missing. Detectives recovered fingerprints upon inspection, Tolliver said. The face cover of the cashbox was discovered on the 1300 block of Porter Street, but police did not have any suspects as of press time. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I SEPTEMBER 1, 2011
A Grays Ferry parking fiasco left a man fleeing from potential gunfire Sunday. A 28-year-old man was attempting to park on the 1500 block of South Etting Street at 10:32 p.m. when a trailing darkcolored minivan sped up to try to claim the same spot, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Both drivers exited their vehicles and became heated over the space after the first figure occupied it. Following a walk to a friend’s house on the same block, the 28-year-old observed from the porch a male on a bicycle. The cyclist, whom the visitor identified as the speeding vehicle’s helmsman, dropped the more compact mode of transport on the sidewalk, proceeded to the middle of the street and began to yell. He lifted his shirt to reveal a black handgun that he then pointed at the man, Tolliver said. The latter figure ran into the house and called the police. He reported no injuries and no discharge. His verbal adversary fled in an unknown direction. The offender was described as black with a light complexion; mid 20s; 205 pounds; and wearing a black T-shirt. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit www.phillypolice.com/forms.
Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first figure pointed a shotgun at them and stated “Give me your money.” His accomplice patted them down and took a cell phone and about $30. Both suspects then left the uninjured trio by fleeing southbound on Fourth Street, Tolliver said. The armed suspect was described as black; age 18 to 21; 5-foot-8 to 5-foot10; having a skinny build; and wearing a black hoody and blue jeans. His helper was described as black; age 18 to 20; with a heavy build; and wearing a blue hoodie with white writing and draw strings.

GALDO continued from page 1
N E W S B R I E F S
Preventing foreclosure
Her supportive family members and friends will throw her a birthday party Sept. 11 to honor her spunk and to help to defray treatment costs as she continues that battle. The 5 p.m. celebration will include food, entertainment, a raffle, a Chinese auction and bracelet and T-shirt distributions and stretch along 18th Street from Schley to Forrestal streets. Tickets are $30. “Despite her prognosis and diagnosis, Joanna remains positive that she can beat this horrible disease and is truly one of the strongest people I have ever known,” friend Jasmine MonteCarlo, a resident of the 2800 block of South Warnock Street and one of the event’s many organizers, said. RESEARCHERS HAVE NOT identified a specific clinical symptom for the numerous sorts of brain tumors, but Galdo became informed her history of passing out has no relation to her condition. While the origin could start debates, nobody can doubt her disposition to educate. She needed to take only one semester off from college, as she experienced a self-proclaimed period of normalcy. “I had always enjoyed working with children and loved to play school,” the graduate of Holy Spirit School, 1845 Hartranft St., and Merion Station’s Merion Mercy Academy said. Time as a camp counselor at Rizzo Rink, 1101 S. Front St., further prepped her, and she became a midyear first-grade replacement in 2003 at West Philadelphia’s St. Francis deSales School before moving to second grade. The kindergartners at Christopher Columbus Charter School, 1242-46 S. 13th St., witnessed her dedication for a year, but her malady sought the spotlight at the end of their time together in ’07. Galdo had her second surgery June 26, ’07, with her third three days later. A former dancer who enjoyed chances to test her agility, she soon needed to deal with ataxia, a condition that lessens her coordination and muscle movements. “It imitates ticks and more of a stroke reaction,” she said of ataxia, which has proven so detrimental that the left-hander must rely on her right hand to compensate for her left side’s weakness. Therapy has allowed her to develop comfort with using her right hand, although she enjoys using her dominant hand for one of her favorite pastimes — cooking. “Oh, I love to cook!” she said of infatuations with chicken cutlets, fish and pasta. She also found driving thrilling, but difficulties with her left eye have made her a permanent passenger, a title she does not mind as long as it involves weekend trips to the Jersey Shore. “My family and friends spoil me and help me to make my life even more worthwhile,”

Joanna Galdo has had to show her might against brain cancer for more than onethird of her life. Her upcoming birthday celebration will honor her resiliency. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
she said. “The biggest lessons I have learned about myself are that I have seen results because I am determined and have fought hard because I have had the right support.” The courageous crusader credits cousins Justin, Joseph and Louis Galdo for helping her to feel strong. Exercises accentuated her will to disappoint her cancer and to reduce her time as the recipient of what she tabbed “excessive attention.” She has humbly accepted whatever aid has become available but admits to feeling a little out of place. “I just don’t want to be stared at,” she said with a trace of sadness. Cancer has taken her from teaching and has compromised her existence, but Galdo seems more enamored with life than many perfectly healthy people do. Opportunities to see the first-place Phillies through her helpers at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia delight her, but any moment to give and receive love tops even a grand slam for her. She has needed to train her mind and body to be more steadfast, as brain cancer has not been willing to relax its reputation as a killer. The National Cancer Institute estimates this year will yield 22,310 new cases, with 13,1110 resultant deaths. Galdo has already joined the minority of patients by surviving beyond five years but still experiences daunting days. Their frequency has increased, as she now contends with anaplastic astrocytomas, which the World Health Organization classifies as Grade III, meaning they are aggressive attackers with penchants for producing headaches, mental status changes, neurologic deficits and seizures. Galdo has muffled hearing, altered handwriting, a frequent need for assistance
when walking and a weakened voice. Her mind ably whips out dates and reflections, however. Two particularly powerful days are March 23 and July 18 of this year. She underwent her fourth surgery and received her most distressing news upon inspecting her latest MRI, respectively. “I thought I was looking at the wrong thing,” she said of interpreting Dr. Jean Bello-Belasco’s announcement that her cancer had exploded. Hit with the news she had six to 12 months to live, Galdo let her strength sag. “I said ‘But I don’t want to die,’” she said, requiring a moment to collect her composure. Her three tumors are now likely inoperable, and Galdo confessed Bello-Belasco feels they will become glioblastoma multiformes, Grade IV nuisances that present poor prognoses. Minus surgery as a feasible option, she is set to begin new rounds of chemotherapy. The last two Fridays have involved trips to have her left eye refocused. She is eating her favorite items to stay strong, and has her 31st birthday to anticipate. “I am excited about my birthday,” Galdo said. “I am honored they are doing so much for me and hope everything goes off without a hitch.” SPR For more information on the Joanna Galdo Fund or to purchase tickets for Galdo’s birthday party, e-mail jasi627@ hotmail.com or whayes558@gmail.com.

WE THE PEOPLE continued from page 1 ebrated the anniversary of the ending of World War II with a preview of the new fall exhibit “Fighting for Democracy: Who is ‘We’ in ‘We the People’?” with a press event last month. This exhibit, which launches Oct. 14 and runs through Jan. 16, 2012, will portray life during the World War II era using aspects of both museum and theater. South Philadelphia’s Jihad Milhem of Point Breeze and Taysha Canales of Passyunk Square will offer their artistic talent as characters in the live show during the 25-minute theatrical component that complements the traveling exhibition from Los Angeles’ Japanese American National Museum. The actors will portray multiple characters, with three performers participating in each show. Canales, a recent Arcadia University graduate, won a Certificate of Merit for Excellence in Ensemble Acting from the Kennedy Center last year. Milhem can be seen prior to the exhibit in Bright Light Theatre Co.’s Philadelphia Fringe Festival production “All Places From Here” Sept. 2 to 17 at The Loading Dock in Fishtown. THROUGH THE EYES of seven individuals who struggle to grasp the equality of American democracy, the exhibit shares an array of diverse characters. These range from a Navajo Code Talker named Carl Gorman to
Frances Slanger, a Jewish American nurse who died while serving in Europe. “Fighting for Democracy puts the spotlight on ordinary citizens with extraordinary legacies,” National Constitution Center CEO and president David Eisner said at the press event. By examining real American heroes who were the victims of racial and gender discrimination, the exhibit examines lesser-known, yet important figures of the nation’s history. “I think this exhibit takes a look at seven individuals who stood up for our country at a time when they weren’t necessarily given the same, equal rights,” Allison Heishman, the National Constitution Center’s theater programs manager, said. Because of the importance of the message of this exhibit, the location will present it at no cost, excluding the museum’s admission fee. “For us, the themes that we face today are relatable to the World War II era … we have a lot of discussion with the theme of democracy, but no solution,” BergerGreen said. The exhibit is relevant to contemporary times as Americans still feel the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy. Issues such as racial profiling and discrimination toward minorities have only increased. Awareness for other ethnicities can prevent animosity. “I think South Philadelphians especially should come see this because South Philadelphia is such a diverse area. [The ex-

hibit] is a really incredible way of opening your eyes to different cultures and experiences,” Heishman, a resident of Seventh and Emily streets, said. Unlike other exhibits, Fighting for Democracy provides an interactive element for its viewers. “This isn’t a passive experience for the audience,” David Bradley, the director of Fighting for Democracy, said at the press event. Through the usage of technology, such
as iPads, visitors can examine deeper into the seven lives. In addition, the exhibit allows for open discussions after the theater performance to address the societal issues presented. Visitors are encouraged to take an active role to make change like the characters did. “You don’t have to be famous or connected to do something for your country,” Berger-Green said.

other integral part of a man who scrapped his way to millions without the help of any formal education. “He didn’t sugarcoat anything; he just said what was on his mind,” Geno Vento said. “If you were 7-foot, he was 7-foot-1.” When looking at Vento’s legacy, there are the hundreds of thousands he gave back to in the community and through different charities over the years. It is for this, along with helping make Philly the cheesesteak capital of the world, that many Philadelphians will miss the feisty 5-foot-5 Joey Vento. “It’s a terrible loss to this city, I think he did a lot of good and were going to miss him,” Northeast Philly’s Stacy Atwater said last week at Geno’s.

oey Vento, owner of South Philly staple Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., suffered a heart attack and died Aug. 23 at the age of 71. Vento, who opened his now legendary cheesesteak shop in 1966, came into work as he always did that morning. His family believes that the chest pains started around 2 p.m., but the tough-as-nails entrepreneur shrugged off the pain. Vento returned to his home in Shamong, N.J. and lay down for a nap after telling his wife that he wasn’t feeling well. “Usually I call about 6:30 [p.m.] for the bread,” his son Geno Vento said. “That’s when my mom tried to get him up. He was all discombobulated, fell over and turned purple.” Known for putting his business be-
fore his health, Vento never broke his morning routine. After all, doctors once had to put weights in the cast on his arm in an attempt to keep him from going to work, Geno Vento said. It failed to keep him from his post. “He never missed a day of work,” Geno Vento said. “He just had cancer surgery in October and four days after surgery he was back at work. The doctors flipped out.” However, his hardheaded nature did not come without controversy. He gained national notoriety when he posted signs telling customers “This is America. When ordering, please speak English,” which were the subject of a lawsuit against him in 2006. The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations dismissed the case in ’08, and the signs are still proudly displayed. But for those who know him best, Vento’s outspokenness was just an-

he six cast members of Penn Dixie Alive have been living more than 70 miles from Philly in the woods of Nazareth since Aug. 14 finishing their debut work, “The Seer,” for this year’s Fringe Festival. “It just gives us the ability to do all the work that’s done in the margins. The work that gets done when the rehearsal hours end,” Anisa George, who directs the work, said. “When we are having dinner together and having a laugh and someone says, ‘You know, it’d be really fun if we did this.’ It lets us concentrate on the work and not be distracted by all the other things that life entails.” George, who makes her home at Clarion and continued on page 14

Things I can do without
I
Rachel (Helen Mirren) fills out a trio of Mossad agents on a kidnapping crusade designed to capture a war criminal two decades after his atrocities.
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
“The Debt” is a film about sins of the past, committed by both the clear-cut villain and the supposed rectifiers. A remake of an Israeli thriller, it tells of three Mossad agents (Marton Csokas, Jessica Chastain and Sam Worthington) tasked to kidnap and deliver a reviled Nazi war criminal (Jesper Christensen) in 1960s East Berlin. Things go awry, and the agents tell a major fib, which follows them through life until they mature into Tom Wilkinson, Helen Mirren and Ciarán Hinds. The movie has its moments of grabby intrigue but, not above sin itself, it toggles so as to forbid you from sitting back to enjoy or leaning forward to contemplate. Shown in flashback, the Holocaustscarred spy trio shacks up together in a modest flat — a non-boho “Sophie’s Choice” scenario that leads to the inevitable love triangle. Things get more complicated when the ménage à trois becomes a quatre, and the agents bind and gag the wanted Nazi in their living room, taking shifts feeding him in a torturous game of nourish thine enemy. There’s some fascination to the household dynamic, and Christensen has bite, but for a story with such loaded undercurrent, there’s an ocean of psychology left uncharted, both in the Nazi (rendered as a stereotypical monster) and the roommates (largely rendered as stereotypical scorned victims). The lack of substance doesn’t come with much action-movie consolation, and what diversion is offered takes ages to present itself. Throughout, the photography by Ben Davis (a frequent collaborator of co-writer Matthew Vaughn) is grayed and unsightly, sinking beneath handheld,
cold-Euro grittiness into a look that’s simply muddy. Frantic editing aims to ratchet up tension but winds up overwrought, and many shots are suffocatingly caught somewhere between medium and close-up. What’s left? The answer is Chastain, the sole reason to rush to the film, and officially the most exciting new actress working. Mirren is serviceable as the older version of the same character, but the emotion of “The Debt” is contained in Chastain’s work, which grows more compelling and mysterious with each new movie.

Recommended Rental Hanna PG-13 Available Tuesday In-demand starlet Saoirse Ronan goes guerrilla as the title character in “Hanna,” Joe Wright’s techno-cool (and considerably weird) assassin fairy tale about a young killer on the run from bureaucrats and on the hunt for her identity. Ronan is terrific, showing shades of transformation not unlike her co-star, Cate Blanchett. Eric Bana also stars, and The Chemical Brothers provide the soundtrack.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I September 1, 2011
can do without street “musicians.” In my world, if you can’t play “do re mi” without hitting the wrong note, your instrument should be taken away. I’m OK with your right to bear arms, but where in the constitution does it give you the right to play an instrument badly in public? I’m waiting 20 minutes for a bus in town while some guy with a sax is mutilating the memory of John Coltrane? Give me a break! Look, in my mind, I sing like Sinatra, but you wouldn’t want me standing on a corner at 17th and Chestnut streets singing “Come Fly With Me” nonstop for eight hours. ... I can do without Kim Kardashian and her wedding. I wouldn’t go if I received an invitation. What is it exactly that Kim does to be worth $35 million? That’s $17.5 million per buttock. What the hell is the going rate for amateur porn videos with bad lighting anyway? What is her talent besides providing an end zone for professional athletes? In five years, you’ll be able to serve dinner for eight on her fanny. ... I can do without South Jersey. When your culture consists of “Jersey Shore,” an overweight governor, shopping malls and bad food, I think I’ll take the occasional flash mob. Why do so many South Philadelphians run to South Jersey to shop? You can’t buy a house dress in Center City and keep the tax dollars here? We have the Reading Terminal; they have Aunt Millie’s pretzels. And don’t tell me about the shows in Atlantic City. Is it really a hot ticket to see somebody do impressions of Julio Iglesias? ... I can do without Rick Perry. I know things are bad, Obama haters, but do we really need George Bush lite? If this Texas governor wants to secede from the Union, I am all for it. I support Perry for president of the Confederacy. If he becomes president, does that make Dana Carvey relevant again? Perry thinks climate change is open for debate; this is after his state suffered the worst drought in its history. Back east, we’ve had record snowstorms in the winter as well as record floods and an earthquake in the summer with pestilence and famine no doubt on the way, and Perry thinks it can all be solved with a prayer meeting in an outdoor stadium and another tax cut for the rich. ... I can do without sports talk radio on FM. Mike Missanelli and Anthony Gargano are paisanos. Glen Macnow — I don’t
think so. But do I really need to hear them in stereo? Will Doogie from the Northeast really sound better when he asks his next stupid question? What about good music on FM? That’s what they used to play for three-and-a-half minutes between 15 minutes of commercials when I used to listen to FM radio. Incidentally, I know the consensus is that the demise of WYSP-FM came about when Howard Stern left. Let me clear up that myth. It was all downhill for them when they refused to renew my contract in 2002. It was in a Nostradamus prophecy. ... I can do without Moammar Gadhafi. First off, it seems to me that when you have the absolute power of a dictator, you can afford a better barber. And how many sons does this guy have? Every time we bombed Libya or raided a compound, another Gadhafi son was reported captured or killed. No wonder the guy became a dictator. He had a lot of mouths to feed. By the way, I ordered a hit on Gadhafi myself because I can never figure out how to spell his name. The end of Gadhafi means another proofreader will be laid off. ... I can do without panelists with British accents on TV. Why is it we require at least one judge on every idiotic TV talent show to speak with a British accent? Does a British accent make Sharon Osbourne’s inane comments sound intelligent? Look, when you choose Ozzy Osbourne as a husband, you automatically lose IQ points. And will someone please get Simon Cowell a shirt with a collar before “The X-Factor” debuts? Finally, to rest my case, how’s Piers Morgan working out?... I can do without the front page of The Daily News. Sorry, Larry Platt. You once wrote something nice about me when I had a gig on WIP 100 years ago, and I had it framed and hung over my four-poster bed, but really? With Arlene Ackerman gone, the front page of The Daily News will probably be blank, at least until the next Phillies parade down Broad Street. ... Speaking of Ackerman, I can do without the School Reform Commission. How bad is it when you have “reform” in your name and you need to be reformed? These people not only are responsible for hiring Ackerman in the first place, they actually extended her contract, and negotiated a $1.5 million buyout as part of the deal. And we liberals think Obama is a lousy negotiator. ... I can do without cholesterol tests and cardiograms. What do they prove? Every person I ever knew who died of a sudden heart attack had good results on them one day before they kicked the bucket. Think about it. If tests showed a person was likely to die of a heart attack, then it wouldn’t be sudden, would it? I spend two weeks in training before I take a cholesterol test eating stuff drenched in fish oil with steamed vegetables. Who am I fooling? SPR #

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

Shiroi Hana By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
T
here’s a time-honored adage that if you go into a Chinese restaurant and see tables filled with Chinese men and women speaking perfect Mandarin, the food is bound to be good. The same quip may hold true with Japanese fare. During a recent dinner at Shiroi Hana, 20 Japanese-American young people were sitting at one long table, tucking into sushi and sashimi, sipping sake and having a marvelous fun-filled evening. “It’s a sign,” I said to my friends Kaitlyn and Tim. Kaitlyn has little sense of adventure when it comes to sampling new dishes. Tim, however, always will try something for the first time. He has an open culinary mind. Shiroi Hana opened in 1984. That’s pretty darn long in restaurant years. I slid onto a comfortable banquet, and we chatted about the menu. I liked the highly-polished wood tables set with chopsticks and paper napkins. Kaitlyn asked for flatware because she has trouble handling chopsticks. Dinner began with edamame ($4) that arrived in their pods. They were piping hot but lacked salt. I showed my friends how to pull them out with their teeth. This was a first-time dish for them, and I was surprised they took a shine to edamame. Next up were steamed shrimp shumai ($5), which were light and airy. We dipped them into the flavorful dipping sauce and easily polished them off. Kaitlyn had never eaten an oyster. Tim has eaten them raw but never fried. I love them raw, I love them fried. We had to try Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

them. Panko crumbs coated the plump juicy oysters ($9) that were quick fried to a golden, greaseless brown. The generous plate also contained long, slender threads of beets that added color, flavor and texture to this starter. I was shocked to discover Kaitlyn has never tried sushi. There’s a time and place for everything. If I got my sister Sandy, the picky eater, to try sushi, I knew Kaitlyn would not turn up her nose. I instinctively knew to begin with something simple. We poured soy sauce into little round dishes. Although I was hungry for eel, cucumber rolls ($4) were the place to start. Tim and I chuckled as Kaitlyn tried to cut her small roll with her fork. “Just dip the whole thing in soy sauce and pop it into your mouth,” I said. She got the hang of it and said she would give sushi another try. A choice of soup or salad comes with dinner entrées. I love the ginger dressing made in Japanese restaurants, especially when it is spooned over iceberg lettuce, cucumber and carrots. My friends enjoyed the miso soup. They played it safe with chicken teriyaki ($18), which needed salt and pepper. The chicken was simply grilled and was not a bit overcooked. A mound of perfectly steamed rice came with their dinner. I love pork cutlets in Japanese restaurants. The chefs at Shiroi Hana took a succulent pork tenderloin ($16), coated it in panko bread crumbs and fried it as perfectly as they did the oysters. The dish,

which came with rice, was sliced for easy eating. Half of my dinner was packed and toted home. A few days later I lunched alone at Shiroi Hana. The place was filled with happy diners enjoying sushi, sashimi and special lunches. My mixed tempura lunch ($10) arrived in a pretty box with individual compartments. The tempura was perfectly cooked. I received two jumbo shrimp along with sliced eggplant, sweet potato and summer squash. The batter lacked seasoning, so I sprinkled on some salt and pepper. There was a small salad (I asked for extra dressing), steamed pork gyoza and a California roll. I could not believe this delicious hot and cool lunch was only $10. Shiroi Hana is a fine place before or after

■ Marinated Picholine ■ Olives
❉
From “Ten: All the Foods We Love and 10 Recipes for Each” by Sheila Lukins. Ingredients:
Note from Phyllis: This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
■ Cool Green Bean Salad ■ with Feta and Toasted Pine Nuts Ingredients: 2 pounds of green beans, the thinnest available, trimmed 8 ounces of imported feta cheese, crumbled 1/2 cup of toasted pine nuts Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil 6 to 8 tablespoons of vinegar, such as red wine, sherry or balsamic Small handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as Italian parsley, cilantro or chives
Directions: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the green beans, lower the heat to medium and cook for about eight to 10 minutes. Taste to see if the beans are al dente. Make sure not to overcook or undercook them. Rinse in a colander, and plunge the beans into a large bowl of ice water. Cool completely. Wrap the beans in a kitchen towel and dry thoroughly. Place them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, or use Tupperware and put the lid on. You can refrigerate the beans overnight. When ready to go to the cookout, crumble the cheese onto the beans, and add the toasted pine nuts. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and vinegar in a bowl. Pour onto the green beans. Add the toasted pine nuts, and toss well. Top with fresh chopped herbs. Serves six to eight.
❉
Note from Phyllis: Toasting raw pine nuts is easy. Heat a dry pan over high heat, and add the pine nuts. Shake the pan around until they turn golden brown. Keep a watchful eye on them to prevent burning. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

onday is Labor Day, the one day of the year when we celebrate and recognize the everyday men and women who built America and made her great. Labor Day used to signal the end of the cookout season. Not any more. It also once meant people would close their beach homes for the season. Not any more. September is a beautiful month to go to the beach. I spent a long weekend last September as the guest of my dear friend Thom Motta, who has a beautiful home on the bay in Little Egg Harbor. The taboo of putting away white clothes also is gone. I wear white all year-round. When I think of Labor Day or any other holiday built around food, I think of Tupperware. The invention of Tupperware brought about a revolution in American kitchens. We have Earl Silas Tupper to thank for developing the product in 1946. Toting everything to a party, from a homemade cake to chips and dip, is as easy as burping the lid. He invented the burp as well. I’ve become a bit of a lazy cook. Trader Joe’s is the reason for it. When the store
opened in 2003 a few blocks from my home, I stopped preparing certain dishes. Its dips are tasty and priced just right. I no longer make hummus from scratch. I just buy it. Still there are those times when homemade treats are best. A Labor Day cookout fills the bill for me. Just tuck them into Tupperware, and tote to the cookout.

No Peter-ing out
A Marconi teen continued his baseball odyssey with a trip to the Twin Cities last month. By Tim Johnson Review Intern

S O U T h p h illyreview . c o m 3 3
WHILE HIS AVERAGE summer is filled with more fastballs and batting cages than an average teen could stomach, the past few months have been especially hectic for him and his family. Having transferred to Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., from Ss. Neumann-Goretti, 1736 S. 10th St., at the end of the 2011 school term, Peter has had more than a full workload ahead of him as he suffers from a learning disability that requires an Individualized Education Program for comprehension. “That was one of our [reasons to switch],” George Piccoli said. “I’m excited,” Peter added. “I got a lot of friends there and [Prep Charter] should be able to help me with my school work.” While he was accomplished, having pitched St. Nicholas of Tolentine School, 913 Pierce St., to its first championship in 19 years in 2008 and started at second base at age 12 for an 18-and-under team in Neumann-Goretti’s summer league, there was a lot of preparation needed for the upcoming season, including increased workouts and participation in several tournaments such as the RBI World Series. After the RBI tryouts ended and Peter had successfully impressed the RBI coaches, the team had to compete against eight other Pennsylvania teams in a tournament in the state capital. Piccoli’s squad cruised through the tournament and earned a spot in the RBI World Series, which would take place at various stadiums in Minneapolis, including Target Field, the home of the Twins. In early August, the boys were flown out to the Twin Cities; however, Peter and his teammates would not have the comfort of their families at all times of the day. “They all had to fly by themselves. No parents or anything. We couldn’t go with him. They got their own plane, the [RBI program] paid for the airfare. I drove him up to the airplane at 6 a.m. and the flight
took off at 8 a.m. and then we had no contact with him except at the stadiums,” Michele Piccoli said. They did receive quite the royal treatment. All the members of the Philadelphia RBI team were protected by MLB security and, donning Philadelphia Phillies golf shirts, were filmed boarding and exiting their flights. Peter took it all in stride. Playing almost every position on the field except for first base, he constantly impressed. In the first game Aug. 11 against Detroit’s junior team, Piccoli went 2-for-3 while also pitching one flawless inning, as his team coasted to a 10-6 victory. The next day he tripled against Atlanta with a scoreless two-thirds of an inning. His two-run hit made the difference as the RBI Phillies won 5-3. As Peter calmly played his way through the games, Mom and Dad shouldered all the nervousness. “The guy from MLB was filming during the Houston game, I believe,” George Piccoli said. “I was a nervous wreck and the video guy asked what was the matter. When I said that was my son pitching, he looked through the camera and said, ‘no worries he looks fine.’” During that game, Peter pitched 2-2/3 innings and netted four strikeouts plus the win. The RBI Phillies won 5-4, earning a place in the semifinal against a talented Dominican Republic team, but would inevitably lose. Peter wasn’t allowed to pitch in the final game due to the league rules, which prohibit a player from pitching in four consecutive games, and the team suffered a 14-3 loss. Overall, Peter had the experience of a lifetime. He toured both Target Field and Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, and met Minnesota Twins catcher and 2009 MVP Joe Mauer. The Phillies honored him and the team prior to the Aug. 17 game. “Overall it was a great organization,” Michele Piccoli said. “They took care of the kids. There was white, black, Puerto Rican and they all got together. The whole program was unbelievable.” SPR
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I September 1, 2011
ixteen-year-old Peter Piccoli has been playing baseball ever since his 3-year-old hands could wrap themselves around that red-seamed piece of leather. This summer the resident of 15th Street and Oregon Avenue played alongside the most talented players in the Delaware Valley as he traveled to Harrisburg and then Minnesota, where his team reached the semifinals before falling to a Caribbean team. The Major League Baseballsponsored Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities has been running for nearly a quarter century and aims to give inhabitants of underserved areas the chance to play baseball on a greater stage. Some of the graduates of the program include pro ball stars Carl Crawford, James Loney, CC Sabathia and Justin Upton. To make the team, Peter, who turned 16 Aug. 21, pitted himself against some of the most talented players in the junior age bracket, which is for boys 13 to 15 years old. The tryouts lured in teens from Delaware and New Jersey as well as Philadelphia, creating a very competitive atmosphere. “Nobody was involved [in the decision-making] from South Philly where you got Daddy involved,” father George Piccoli said. “It’s not like that. They don’t care who you are. You just got to play.” When asked about competing with kids he does not know and the pressures that come with it, Peter was cool and collected. “Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me,” he said. Though he seems reserved in some instances, including school-related ones, placing him inside the sacred diamond of
America’s pastime remedies him. “That is a major comfort zone. Sometimes he is kind of shy, but when you get him on the field, that’s his home. That’s where he feels most comfortable,” Peter’s mother Michele Piccoli said.

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

THANK YOU GOD
Say nine Hail Mary’s for nine days and ask for three wishes. First business, second and third is for the impossible. Have this published on the ninth day and your wishes will come true, even though you may not believe in it. S.T.J. novena to the holy spirit
Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted. The prayer must be published immediately. P.T.
Thank You
to the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Mother and St. Jude for prayers answered and favors received. RIP Mom and Dad C.R. NoveNa to St. JoSeph Dear St. Joseph, head of the most perfect household, foster father of Jesus and guardian of His mother Mary, I confidently place myself and all my concerns under your care and protection. I ask that, through your powerful intercession with God, you obtain for us all the help and graces that I need for my spiritual and temporal welfare and in particular, the special favor I now ask…(here mention and think of your petition, especially family needs). Good St. Joseph, I know with confidence that your prayers on my behalf will be heard by God, and He will grant my request, if it be for His glory and my greater good. Thank you St. Joseph, for having responded to my call. Amen. B.C
