Attending to the problem
A Passyunk Avenue nonprofit heeded its constituents’ concerns by installing valet parking options. By Lauren Hertzler Review Contributor

ast Passyunk Avenue’s narrow, crowded streets cause a parking war almost every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night between restaurant patrons and neighbors. “I occasionally will go to the civic associations and just sit in and listen to what’s going on,” Passyunk Avenue Revitalization Corp.’s Executive Director Sam Sherman said. “Every single time that you meet with the community groups, parking is an overriding issue.” The demand for parking options in the area has been growing drastically as new See VALET PARKING page 8

A Lower Moyamensing high school is aiming for more successes after parting with a negative distinction. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
T
hough his first three years at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., often filled him with sadness, Stephon Littles promotes the “It’s not how you start but how you finish” adage.
The 17-year-old has begun his senior term with brimming hope following his institution’s Sept. 6 removal from the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s persistently dangerous schools list. The news marks further progress for the Lower Moyamensing location, which had earned designation as a notorious spot since 2007.
“I know I attend a school that has had a bad reputation for some time, but I’ve always tried to do my best,” the resident of the 1500 block of South Mole Street said Friday outside his secondary site. “The reality of negative events has hit us hard, but See SOUTHERN page 10

Rallying Point To the Editor: A storm is brewing in a section of South Philadelphia known as Point Breeze. The winds of change have come into a community previously neglected by the city administration. Neglect/indifference has resulted in Point Breeze becoming a haven for drugs, and abandoned, blighted houses. Developers, however, realized the gold mine that Point Breeze presented. It is conveniently located near Center City, the stadiums and the Kimmel Center. Residents living in Point Breeze do not need to maintain a car. Bicycles have become the most popular mode of transportation, so developers began to build elaborate houses. This is good. The area needs revitalization. But the developers feared the stigma of the old Point Breeze would impede the sale of their houses. So they said, “Let’s change the name. Let’s call it Newbold.� “Not good,� the older residents responded. “Not good at all.� The older residents banded together, started a peaceful protest, held marches, gave out flyers and

A
robbery pattern links nine cases where victims were trailed from gambling sites to various parts of the city. The robberies, which span North, Northeast Philly and South Philly, occurred between 1 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. Dec. 7, 2011 and Sept. 18, ’12, according to police. Two to three men are believed to have followed their intended targets from Bensalem’s Parx and Surveillance Fishtown’s Sugarvideo House casinos and robbed them of a total of $48,000 by force or point of gun or taser. At 1:30 a.m. Sept. 12, a 35-year-old man parked his car on the 2600 block of South Lawrence Street upon returning home from SugarHouse, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As the man got out of his vehicle, two unknown men hit his right elbow with a brick, causing him to fall to the ground and scrape his knee. The men robbed him of $10,000, which the man won playing cards at the casino, and his car keys before fleeing eastbound on Shunk Street, Tolliver said. The victim believed he previously saw the men inside the casino as he was collecting his profits, Tolliver said. However, video surveillance did not show the man being followed from the gambling site. From the recovered surveillance video, police deemed a gray auto with a black bumper and a silver car as vehicles of interest while a man wearing a dark-colored Nike T-shirt was deemed a person of interest. The offenders were described as black, with one being age 25 to 30, 5-foot-10 and wearing a white T-shirt and the other being age 20 to 25 and tall. The Citizens Crime Commission is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the duo. A 32-year-old man returning home from SugarHouse at 3:40 a.m. June 22 via a cab also is believed to have been followed, according to police. Two men punched and kicked him on the 1500 block of Dickinson Street and then swiped his jacket, which contained $500. The pair fled south on Hicks Street. The men were described as black, age 25 to 30, 6 foot; having a medium build;
and wearing a gray T-shirt and jeans. To report information, call 215-6868477, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Wild wake-up Two men broke into a Point Breeze home, demanding money and drugs from its occupants early Tuesday. A 20-year-old was asleep on the couch when he awoke to screaming at 12:10 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. His roommate of the same age was bleeding and two men, who had invaded the home on the 2000 block of Annin Street, were threatening them. The offenders searched the home for narcotics and cash. While they didn’t locate any drugs, they fled with $2,000, two cell phones, an Xbox 360 and Xbox games. The injured man was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for treatment to his head, Tolliver said. The offenders were described as black, age 20, thin and wearing dark-colored clothing. One was 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 while the other was 6 foot. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
Repeat offenders A Bella Vista grocer was robbed twice over an eight-day span although it is unclear if the crimes are linked. Two masked men entered Los Carnales, 1033 S. Eighth St., at 12:46 a.m. Sept. 13, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One of the men — armed with a small, black revolver — ordered the customers to the ground and demanded the 39-year-old cashier hand over money from the register. The employee gave him $150, and the offender also swiped a combined $450 from three male customers — ages 20, 44 and 56 — before the pair fled east on League Street. The armed robber was described as black, 6 foot, thin, and wearing a black hoodie, dark-colored pants and a mask covering the lower portion of his face. His accomplice was described as black, 5-foot10 and wearing a black hoodie with white stripes on the sleeves and a white mask covering the lower portion of his face. At 12:30 a.m. Sept. 21, two masked men entered the same store with one demanding cash and cigarettes from the 33-year-
Police Report old cashier, who handed him $70 from the register, 15 packs of cigarettes and $3 from his own pocket, Tolliver said. The other man punched a 33-year-old male customer and took $40 from him. When another male patron of the same age did not respond to his demands, the offender pistol whipped him and fired his gun, which released a puff of smoke. The offenders fled north on Eighth. The gun is believed to have been a cap or blank gun, Tolliver said. The first thief was described as black,
5-foot-10, 225 pounds and wearing a black hoodie, dark-colored pants and a dark-colored mask. The other robber was described as black, 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, and wearing a gray jacket with white lettering on it and a white mask.

VALET PARKING continued from page 1 businesses erupt, causing major issues for customers and community members alike. Anthony Ruggiero, a resident of Broad Street and Snyder Avenue, said parking in general is a “mess.” “With the City being so overpopulated like it is and with more tourists coming in, it’s difficult [to park],” Ruggiero, who has lived in South Philly his whole life, said. “I work nightshift. I get off work at 12:20 [a.m.] and by the time I get a spot it’s like 1:30 [a.m.]” To help to solve the parking issues, the nonprofit, formerly known as Citizens Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, paired up with 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla to establish two new valet parking stations on East Passyunk Avenue. The valet service secures cars in the parking lot at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. “We’ve been planning this all summer,” Sherman said. “PARC made the commitment to the neighborhood and to the commercial corridor that we would spearhead getting the stands done by autumn.” Restaurants on the 1900 block of East Passyunk Avenue launched and paid for the initial stand about three years ago. The new valet stands — one next to the Singing Fountain, 11th and Tasker streets, and the other in front of El Zarape, 1648 E. Passyunk Ave. — opened for business after Labor Day and Friday, respectively, with two attendants at each station. “The primary motive was to take away the argument that we can’t support any more restaurants or anything like that because of parking,” Sherman said. “It was to relieve the pressure on the surrounding residential neighborhoods and to provide an efficient means of dealing with the traffic that comes through the avenue.” The corporation funded the permitting, which totaled about $2,200, and got the valet zones established. Seven participating restaurants on the avenue are paying a monthly fee of $300 to ParkOps, a valet company Sherman hand-picked, to have the affiliated service. “If you break it down, it’s costing each restaurant $25 per night if you average it over a month,” Sherman said. “So if they get four additional people into the restaurant because of the valet parking, it’s more than paid for itself.” Participating restaurants can offer the service to patrons for $8. Any non-validated use of the valet is still available for other customers, but instead costs $15. “It’s set up in such a way to encourage the restaurants to participate,” Sherman said. “But, even if they don’t participate, the valet service can still be utilized.” Additionally, Neumann-Goretti is working with the participating restaurants on a

PARKOPS OFFERS VALET service 5 p.m. until 2 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The new valet stand at the fountain was slow during the first week of business, Sherman said. “People just weren’t aware,” he said. “We knew that. That’s why we opened it when we did right after Labor Day because that’s typically a slow week. And now [since] the weather is cooling off, especially going into the holiday season, you’ll see more and more traffic with the restaurants.”
they’ve been driving around and if we have a suggestion where to park their car,” Rinaldi said. “I think it’s a necessity at this point. I don’t think that businesses could operate. You know, it’s frustrating to go into an area when you have a dinner reservation and you’re getting stressed out.” Rinaldi, a resident of 17th and Porter streets, said she understands patrons’ parking frustrations. “If people are not familiar with the area, even if they would find a parking spot two blocks away, nobody wants to walk two blocks,” she said. “I mean if you’re from the suburbs, you’re not used to walking two blocks to grab your car.”
Christopher Kearse, the owner and chef of one-month-old Will BYOB, 1911 E. Passyunk Ave., said he is waiting to participate in the valet program until he sees a need for it. “I like the idea of it,” Kearse said. “But I have to do more research on if it’s going to help my business.” The avenue is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood that is mostly metered and two-hour parking, giving customers little time to enjoy traditional dining experiences. Ryan Stauffer, a server at Mamma Maria’s, 1637 E. Passyunk Ave., said he thinks the valet stands are important for customers to have relaxed dining experiences. “People won’t have to rush out in the middle of a meal to go put money in their meter,” Stauffer said. “They can just relax and get comfort in knowing their car is safe. ... Especially here. It’s more of a sit [and] dine experience. You’re here for two, three, maybe four hours.” The valet service is a major benefit for the people who live in the neighborhood, Stauffer, who lives above the restaurant, said. “When patrons come in and take all the spots, [neighbors] lose spots,” Stauffer said. Sherman hopes that visitors of the avenue reach a point where the valet service is second-nature. “It was something that needed to be done,” Sherman said. “Hopefully we reach a point where they just expect that it’s here.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

SOUTHERN continued from page 1 it isn’t making or breaking us as a whole.” The class president and 76 peers spent four hours participating in their first Park(ing) Day, decorating the poles, or ballards, in Southern’s parking lot. They united through the efforts of Color Wheels representatives from Fleisher Art Memorial, 719 Catharine St., and the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association. The latter a crusader for its neighbor’s rejuvenation. “This school has tons of potential, so we’re looking to amass as many options as possible to better it,” Kim Massare, the community group’s president said. The inhabitant of 10th and Wolf streets has been working closely with third-year principal Otis D. Hackney III to gauge the chances of making the 105-year-old facility the greenest campus in South Philly and perhaps the entire district, a plan that could include a roof garden. Massare’s endeavors have already yielded tree plantings, time in the Recyclebank Green Schools Program and hosting duties for last October’s UnLitter Us initiative, boons that are helping to make Southern synonymous with magnificence instead of malfeasance. Such success registers as a far cry from what happened Dec. 2 and 3, ’09. “What horrible experiences those were,” Littles, then only three months into his freshman year, said of the days that bore attacks against nearly three dozen AsianAmerican students. “When they occurred, my friends and I knew this place was far from what we needed our educational home to be.” An eight-day boycott by many victims and their contemporaries, the resignation of then-principal LaGreta Brown and an U.S. Department of Justice investigation ensued and guaranteed the worsening of an already atrocious reputation for Southern. The state, which initiated the dangerous schools list in ’06, gave the venue its fourth consecutive negative tag in ’10 and its fifth a year later. Officials define sites accordingly by considering their perilous occurrences, such as a weapons possession incident or a violent episode resulting in an arrest and have declared schools like Southern, with enrollment between 251 and 1,000 learners, cannot have troubling figures that amount to at least 2 percent of their registrants. The local site greatly exceeded that figure and often found itself bunched with West Passyunk’s Edwin H. Vare School, now Universal Vare Charter Middle School, 2100 S. 24th St., a four-time designee, and Pennsport’s Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., a two-time choice.

six other schools three weeks ago. Though his haunt seemed irreparable, Littles had known help would come. “I respect his contributions,” the teen said of Hackney before applying paint and encouraging his classmates’ designs, which included traced hands, music notes and inspirational words. “The whole staff deserves tons of credit for attending meetings, seeking feedback and pushing for this school’s future. This year is going smoothly. I don’t feel as if I have anything to worry about.” HACKNEY, WHO JOINED the local education scene after heading Springfield Township High School, had heard speculation that officials would rid Southern of its embarrassing label, and called the actual notice thrilling, but deemed it just “a good accomplishment.” “Nobody wants time on that list,” he said. “We’re happy but have much more to do.” So high was his belief in the effects of constant advocacy that he had hoped his turf would escape the dreaded designation last year. Though he needed to wait a little longer, he does not feel the delay has impeded anyone’s opinion that Southern can be a beacon. “It’s really an anchor for the neighborhood,” Massare said. “Otis has such passion for seeing that it becomes much more.” The two have started to court the City’s input in crafting a master plan for the institution, which enrolls about 700 pupils. Two-year-old talks on the creation of a roof garden figure to intensify as Massare tries to secure backers while engaging Hackney in discussions on creating a roof-
situated classroom, which could double as a location for special events. The educator holds that the first month has gone well and revealed that the district sent a numeric explanation of its joint analysis with the state. Attendance and Pennsylvania System of School Assessment scores have risen, with African-American students, whom Hackney said have customarily struggled on the examinations, making adequate yearly progress in reading, and serious incidents have dipped. “We’re a better, safer, calmer site,” Hackney, whose focus this year will be academic ascendancy, said. “This is the new normal.” Students have long known of his expectations, and he hopes that though the bodies occupying the building will change, the commitment to achievement will remain the same. As his staff has remained intact since he began two years ago, he realizes growth comes from constancy. “Some look at me as the cause of this good news,” he said. “That could not be farther from the truth. It’s all about us.” Littles has never thought of abandoning Southern, choosing to see its renewal as inevitable. “Everyone’s working hard to keep the drama out of here,” he said. “Just walking in the halls, I feel different,” Massare added. “Everyone seems to have more ambition.” For Hackney, the new status has increased his already intense diligence. “It’s been a fun ride,” he said. “I want to be around to see it all work out.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Turning a promising corner Thanks to a Vendemmia Foundation scholarship, a Marconi native is preparing for a promising future as a nuclear engineer. By Natalie Pantaleo Smoley Review Special Contributor
F
or South Philadelphians, the corners say as much about the residents as horoscopes, marital status or religions. In fact, the question, “where you from?”, only has two possible answers in South Philly: An intersection or a parish. For Nick Spadaccini, the answer was a quick, “17th and Pollock.” But hanging on a certain inner-city intersection is becoming more and more difficult these days. Come May, after graduating from Penn State, he’ll be heading off to the U.S. Navy’s Officer Candidate School, which is based in Rhode Island. “The thing I miss most when I’m away at school is hanging out with my boys on the corner,” Spadaccini, a nuclear engineering major, said. “Those late nights spent talking and laughing on the street, or catching a ballgame at the [former] Vet are some of my fondest memories of
growing up downtown. And some of the most hilarious episodes took place on Sydenham Street – a little too colorful to mention here – but stories that never get old for my friends and me.” These days, the young scholar is making the most of a different kind of opportunity — a Vendemmia Foundation scholarship that has helped to offset some of the costs at Penn State. “I am a four-year recipient of the Vendemmia Foundation scholarship, which has covered the cost of all of my books and supplies each year,” Spadaccini said. “It’s been a great help – books are so expensive.” Sunday, at the nonprofit’s 16th annual festival, another group of promising teens will receive financial awards to help advance their educational pursuits. The event, which raises funds to support the scholarship program, takes place from 2 to 6 p.m. at Stephen Girard Park, 2101 Shunk St. Spadaccini is in the process of becoming a Vendemmia success story as he’ll be heading to North Carolina to attend the Navy’s elite nuclear power school immediately following his stint at Officer Candidate School. So, it may be awhile before Spadaccini returns to the quaint St. Richard parish to wax about the Phillies with his pals from the corner. SPR Visit vendemmiafoundation.org.

Nick Spadaccini will look to bolster his gift for acquiring knowledge and friends by upping his scientific acumen in New England.

he Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St., will host a festivity this weekend a little bit different from the New Year’s Day display the group is famous for. “Basically it’s the idea that came up in 2010 by my job — what I do as a child abuse investigator for the Philadelphia Police Department and my role as a worship leader through my church,” Arthur P. Salvagno Sr., originally from the 1700 block of McClellan Street, said. “I saw a need to raise funds for the hospitals that help us so much.” Salvagno, who has been in his current position for a decade, said that the neglect teams at local hospitals — comprised of the social workers and medical professionals that deal with alleged violent or sexual child abuse cases — are an invaluable ally for the officers that deal with upward of 2,000 investigations every year. “There are roughly 10 to 15 of us in my unit that do these investigations a year,” Salvagno, 57, said. ”It’s a pretty hefty order to fill. Without these institutions and them dealing with the physical abuse part of these investigations, we couldn’t really close these investigations. “What came out of it was: How can we raise funds for that?” The answer came in the form of the Battle of the Christian Bands. The inaugural event occurred last year, and proceeds went to support St. Chriss--
A Bishop Neumann grad has organized a fundraiser to educate others on child abuse awareness and to help city hospitals. S ta f f p h o t o b y Greg Bezanis
Lifestyles topher’s Hospital for Children. This year’s second incarnation, held 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, will be to raise funds for Safe Place at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “We felt we had to make it larger since it was the second annual. The Mummers being in South Philly, being historical — it seemed to be a pretty neat fit, so we said, ‘Let’s go for it,’” Salvagno said. “We have room for 100 more people, a 300-seat venue, so we’re hoping to sell it out by Saturday.” Tickets, available for $30 in advance, include finger foods and soft drinks, plus seeing the seven competing bands that hail from as close as Phoenixville and as far as Ithaca, N.Y. Though not in competition, Salvagno also will be performing with his worship team, Lighthouse of Oxford Valley. “People are starting to talk more about it this year,” Salvagno, who has put up the financial backing both years, said. “Those who attended last year and those who don’t come from a religious background who attended last year can’t wait this year to do it again.” Salvagno stressed his work as a worship leader, which involves selecting the week’s musical accompaniments at his Bucks County church, led to the theme of the fundraising event, but it is a gathering with the focus on informing people of the reality of child abuse.
“People should come in the name of child abuse awareness, to become more aware of what child abuse is and learn more about it,” he said. “It’s not just what you hear on the television or news, or what happened with the Archdiocese [of Philadelphia] and at Penn State. It goes on every day. It’s what goes on behind the scenes.” A 1973 GRADUATE of Bishop Neumann, formerly 2600 Moore St., Salvagno began studies at Penn State University before beginning work in law enforcement. He spent time with the FBI, Department of Defense and Philadelphia Police Department. In 1995, he decided to finish out his bachelor’s in organizational management. Completing his coursework in one year while also working as an officer, he received his degree from Wayne’s Eastern University. “It was something I always wanted to complete. I always like to complete my goals,” he said, adding that he later secured a master’s in business law in ’98. When a call was put out within the department for people interested in special investigation work, Salvagno, a two-term Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge F1-PA, president from ’90-94, put in for a transfer, ending up with Special Victims Unit. “Aside from my job as a K-9, I did white-
collar crime investigative work and through my years at the Defense Department, I worked part-time as a physical education teacher for elementary schools,” he said, noting his work with youngsters included roles at Holy Spirit, formerly 1845 Hartranft St., and Trinity Christian, then 19th and Porter streets. “I enjoyed that time working as a teacher. I had that background working with children and then investigative work, and I wanted to get back into it and this opportunity came forth.” On this unit, Salvagno has found a cause he believes in more than a 9 to 5. The battle of the bands is one way he hopes to raise awareness about the subject and get citizens better educated. And challenges, generally, are something the officer embraces. “One pastor, Heidi Butterworth of Lighthouse of Oxford Valley, had come to our church looking for a drummer. I wound up going with the drummer,” the Northeast resident said of his move into the position of worship leader. “It is so much more rewarding than I expected. Every Sunday morning I see the response from the congregation that attends. … The congregation is standing and receiving the Lord and the music. I feel that back from them.” Combining his passions and raising funds for a good cause, Salvagno feels overjoyed to bring his event to South Philly.
“I’ve been a couple times [to the Mummers Museum]. Growing up in South Philly, my family and I weren’t active but we would attend the parades every year. In South Philly growing up, that was a time for family,” he said. “That’s when you would open up your house to family and friends. My mom would have a pot of soup on the stove and people would just come in to get warm and have some food and go. “I’m so excited to have it in South Philadelphia.” This community vibe is something Salvagno hopes people cultivate at the fundraiser. He also wishes to expand the event so he can stop dipping into personal funds and raise significant support for hospitals. “After last year’s event, I learned of an event in the Detroit area. It started with one or two churches. … It was to bring people to together. It was all different types of religions gathered in force and now they are in [the Detroit Tigers’ Comercia Park],” Salvagno said. “I’d love to have this at Citizens Bank Park or the Wells Fargo Center. I’d cry if that happened. And I would love to see other churches join us.” SPR Visit lhov.org/BOB. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

et me be clear about this, the following column is not meant to bad mouth September. The month always has seemed to have had a certain dignity of purpose. The boogie board is put away for textbooks, and that shallow summer love withers away in the autumnal haze. Reflection grows serious as the days dwindle down to a precious few. As the song says, we “haven’t got time for the waiting game.” Certainly Mitt Romney’s chances are running out of time. The Romney campaign took a strange twist in September when he decided to write off 47 percent of the vote. I am here to explain how Romney thought this was a good idea. It all goes back to that troublesome arithmetic again. Mitt figured that kissing goodbye to the lazy and dependent 47 percent still meant he could win the election by 6 percent (53 to 47). The real problem in this strategy is Romney really only represents 1 percent of the voters (those voters who could actually ask their father for a loan to start their own business). It means Romney has to convince 52 percent of the 53 percent that they are actually part of the 1 percent that benefit from his tax policies. Not only is this confusing arithmetic, it is not easily understood by most voters who will likely be watching “Honey Boo-Boo” when the presidential debates begin next month. ... It also was not a good month for the royal family. Princess Kate was photographed topless, which I found really offensive. In order to be certain just how offensive these topless photos really were, I insisted on reviewing them a number of times. As if that weren’t enough, Prince Harry had been photographed just a week or so before romping in the nude at a Vegas party. He is a single man who obviously just wanted to have a bit of fun, but royals are required to wear double-breasted, pinstriped suits even when taking a bath. Besides, we wouldn’t want the next few months to bring nude photos of Charles and Camilla. The appeal of nudity does have its limits. ... Speaking of sex, Naomi Wolfe’s new biography hit bookstores this month. She calls it “Vagina: A Biography.” As much as I like biographies, I’m not sure they should be limited to your private parts. Besides, if I wrote a biography about my willie, my wife says it would have to be a short story. Ms. Wolfe writes she had to have a surgical procedure on her back to restore the full
■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m
spectrum of colors she once enjoyed. My wife can relate. We had to have sex during an earthquake in California for my wife to feel the “earth move under [her] feet” (thank you, Carole King for that lyric). In her new book, Wolfe discovers a connection between her brain and vagina. Most of us men find our private part normally acts as a substitute for our brain. ... The Middle East is in an uproar again. Muslim extremists are killing, burning, protesting and tweeting nasty messages. The extremists are upset over what they find is a blasphemous depiction of Muhammad. If you are planning to make a film, write a book, or sketch a cartoon concerning Muhammad, be aware you might want to take out extra life insurance before you do so. An Iranian ayatollah placed a fatwa or bounty on the head of author Salman Rushdie in 1989 for writing “The Satanic Verses.” Now as a result of the furor over the video clip, an ayatollah has reissued the fatwa on Rushdie and raised the reward for his killing to $3.3 million. What has Rushdie to do with the new offensive video? Nothing, but the best way apparently to get publicity for yourself in Iran is to issue a fatwa on Rushdie. It really doesn’t take much to create a disturbance when you’re a Muslim extremist. You don’t like the weather today, kill the meteorologist, burn down the TV station, attack the American Embassy, and oh by the way, reissue another fatwa on Rushdie. It’s all in a day’s work. Here in America, we openly question just what our president is going to do about it. We figure he can control whatever goes on in the Middle East — lousy videos, bad weather, the books Rushdie writes, you name it. Do something, just don’t apologize or send in any American troops to fight over there, and while you’re at it, can you get those folks to lower the price of crude? We found out in September that rice contains possibly dangerous levels of arsenic. My wife has served me risotto, Uncle Ben’s Long Grain Rice, Rice Krispies and rice pudding in successive meals this week. At the same time, I caught her watching “Arsenic and Old Lace” on Turner Classic Movies last night. Do I sense a plan hatching? Here’s my take on this rice controversy. China’s population is an estimated 1.4 billion people. What is the main dish in China? Rice. Tell me again, how dangerous is it to eat rice? You do away with rice, you expect a good Chinese restaurant to serve pork-fried mashed potatoes? Without rice, there would be no Chinese restaurants. That means no place for my Jewish friends to eat on Christmas. It’s an anti-Semitic plot. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.
Student Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), from left, bonds with Jesse (Josh Radnor) who returns to his college alma mater’s campus for a professor’s retirement party.
An eye for the ‘Arts’ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
W
riter/director Josh Radnor doesn’t quite knock it out of the park with “Liberal Arts,” his superior follow-up to “Happythankyoumoreplease,” but he does score serious nostalgia points, making palpable the unmistakable joys of revisiting one’s college years. Radnor stars as Jesse, a 35-year-old, New York-based admissions counselor who, upon the request of his former professor (Richard Jenkins), a soon-to-be retiree, ventures to Ohio’s Kenyon College, the character’s and filmmaker’s alma mater. There, Jesse meets Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), a student 16 years his junior, who complicates his already gnarled desire to rekindle his youth. Along with a sense of discontentment, the longing for time gone by is a feeling that unites most of the characters, from Jesse and Jenkins’ reluctant veteran to a saucy romantics professor played by Allison Janney, who takes delicious advantage of a role that coaxes out her inner cougar. Playing a member of an improv group with tons of life ahead of her, the ever-zestful Olsen is the film’s embodiment of enviable open-mindedness, which helps to make her character so alluring. The ace actress shares a cool rapport with Radnor, whose personal ties to the setting and story help everything ring true. Of course, there is some vexing familiarity to the movie’s themes, as struggling through the aging process is hardly anything novel, but it’s the spirit Radnor captures that makes his work distinct. The inherently bucolic campus setting is adoringly photographed, juxtaposed with Manhattan’s bustle and nimbly scored to augment that rediscovery thrill. What’s more, “Liberal Arts” offers sharp com-
mentary on cultural consumption, as much of Jesse and Zibby’s courtship concerns bonding over classics (Beethoven) while sparring over trash (vampire novels). The inevitable generation gap is coupled with the common question of which entertainments are worth your time. Most of all, the movie illuminates the passions of Radnor himself, who clearly wants to air creative ambitions beyond his work on “How I Met Your Mother.” Despite his missteps, the driven multi-hyphenate succeeds, suggesting a bright professional future by digging up the past.
Liberal Arts NR Three reels out of four Opens Friday at the Ritz Five
Recommended Rental Dark Shadows PG-13 Available Tuesday
It’s certainly not the collaborators’ best, but Tim Burton and Johnny Depp fans will want to add “Dark Shadows” to their viewing queue, as the duo continues to operate in synch. Reigniting the lead character from the cult soap opera, Depp is Barnabus Collins, a long-undead vampire revived in the 1970s to live among his descendants. The sterling supporting cast includes Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

Brides on a Budget How to Have a Fabulous Wedding for Less (Family Features) The average wedding in America costs around $29,000, according to The Wedding Report, Inc., a wedding industry research company. Not surprisingly, couples are looking for ways to save money on their special day. Here are some ideas to help you have a wonderful wedding on a budget. The Date. Having a wedding on off-peak months and days can be a bargain. November through April are slower months for weddings, so many halls, caterers and other service providers give discounts because they have fewer bookings. Some will also have discounts for weddings held on any day other than Saturday. The Venue. If you know anyone with a beautiful home or a large garden, consider having the wedding there. Be sure to factor in the cost of renting tables and chairs. Holding the reception at a private place lets you buy your own alcohol and hire your own bartenders, both of which can save you money. Another option is to negotiate a package deal on an all-inclusive venue such as a hotel. The wedding and reception are all in one place, and out of town guests won’t have far to go when the party’s over. (Negotiate a good deal on a block of rooms for guests.) Invitations. Keep them simple. High-end paper, custom-colored inks, decorative linings and multiple enclosures all cost more. Do online research to find the best deal – or print them yourself. You can find plenty of affordable options at craft, hobby or office supply stores. To keep postage costs down, don’t use oversized or heavy paper.
Flowers. Do you really need fresh flowers blanketing everything? Many couples opt for fresh flowers for the bridal party and silk arrangements as decoration for the ceremony and reception. Look into candles, ribbons, shells and decorative stones as alternatives.
You can have a fabulous wedding for less with some planning and elbow grease. But the best advice for saving money is to make a budget and stick to it. You’ll be tempted to upgrade just a little here and there – but pretty soon your bargain wedding is no bargain at all. Courtesy of Family Features Photo Courtesy of Lyndi Jahelka

Decorations and Favors. Take inventory of what you already have – and what friends and family have. Borrowing is cheaper than buying or renting, so ask around. Do-it-yourself favors are a great way to personalize your wedding for less. If you do need to buy supplies in large quantities, don’t be afraid to talk to the store manager about a bulk discount.
From Simple Elegance to Exquisite Upscale Designs, We Can Create the Perfect Cake, to Fit Any Budget!

Food. Save serious money by planning the reception for a time when guests will not need a full, seated meal. If your ceremony is between one and three in the afternoon, you can have a tea reception. Serve tea, finger sandwiches, scones and mini pastries. For a reception starting at four or five p.m., have a cocktail reception. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres are all you need. Make it clear on your invitation – “Tea (or cocktail) reception to follow.”

The Dress. It’s possible to save big on your dress by choosing poly satin instead of silk fabric. Another option is to buy a discontinued design, rather than the latest one. These are usually less expensive and can be found at smaller dress shops or consignment shops.

To Wedding Stress
Expect stress. If you accept the fact that this is a stressful time, you can let go of guilt about it and take some precautionary measures to deal with it. Talk with your fiancé and a close friend about helping you chill out when things get too tense. Come up with a non-judgmental code word they can say to let you know it’s time for a break. When you hear the code word, stop, take a deep breath and then set the planning aside for a while and do something nonwedding related.
Don’t try to please everyone. It’s just not possible. Nor is it reasonable to try. The wedding is about the bride and groom. You two need to decide what is meaningful to you and what will express who you are. If his mother wants Cousin Jennie to play her bagpipe as you march down the aisle and you don’t care for the idea, it’s ok to say no. Come up with a polite response such as, “Thanks for your suggestion, but we’re going in a different direction with the plans.” Feelings may get bruised, but ultimately it’s your day and it only has to please you and your fiancé.
Keep things in perspective. The most important thing to remember is that the wedding is only a oneday event. It’s just a party to celebrate the beginning of a life together. Too many brides feel enormous pressure to make the wedding perfect and they forget about building a solid marriage. Don’t lose yourself in the details of this one day. You have a lifetime of new memories to create, this is only one of them. Courtesy of Family Features
S O U T h P h I L LY R E V I E W. c O m 3 3
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Wedding consultants and planning experts agree that there are some ways to manage the stress and make the planning process more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Be realistic. A lot of brides set their expectations so high that they drive themselves (and everyone around them) crazy trying to meet them. But unless you have unlimited access to money, you’re going to have to adjust some of your plans. There are a lot of resources (Web sites, books, magazines, friends) that can help you pull off a lovely wedding on whatever budget you have.
Take care of yourself. It’s always important to eat right, get enough sleep and exercise, but it’s especially important during times of stress. You’ll feel more energized, you’ll be able to think more clearly and make better decisions. Besides, who wants to see a bride with dark circles under her eyes drag herself down the aisle?
september 27, 2012
Having to take care of endless details, manage vendors, handle family demands and meet the emotional needs of the groom – and fitting it all into an already busy schedule – can turn any sweet-natured woman into either a blubbering mess or the dreaded bridezilla.
Delegate, delegate, delegate. No matter how capable you are, no matter how nifty your organizer is, you can’t do everything by yourself. Nor should you, so stop feeling guilty. It’s ok to ask friends, family and the groom for help – as long as you do it nicely. Some churches or reception halls have a wedding coordinator available to help with details. They’ve done this hundreds of times – you haven’t. Use them!

Honey’s Sit ’n Eat By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

ne of my biggest nightmares is catching a cold or the flu. For more than a week, I wandered around the house in my sickie nightgown and slippers sipping ginger ale, coughing and sneezing. All I wanted was for the day to come when I could once again enjoy a steaming hot cup of coffee. Once my taste buds and sense of smell were magnified with such force, I craved a good, old-fashioned brunch. Edward and I have wanted to try Honey’s Sit ’n Eat ever since it opened a number of years ago. There’s always a long wait, but the culinary gods were smiling upon us as was the brilliant sunshine. We were fortunate to get the last two stools at the counter. We were in! Honey’s is a fun place where families are welcome. A steaming hot mug of strong La Colombe coffee ($2.75) was just what the culinary doctor ordered. When Honey’s opened, it was touted as a cross between Southern fare and good, stick-to-your-ribs Jewish food. You will find potato latkes keeping company with stone-ground grits on the menu. I never met a latke I didn’t like, and the same goes for grits. Edward ordered eggs Benedict ($9) and I decided on Honey’s platter ($13). A good chef and line cook must respect the egg. There is nothing worse than overcooked, brown rubbery eggs or poached eggs with hard yolks and watery, runny whites. I tip my toque to the cooks at M a rc o n i / Pa c ke r Pa r k

Honey’s for respecting the egg. Instead of using a split toasted English muffin for the eggs Benedict base, Honey’s turns to a slice of toasted challah — rich with eggs and loaded with flavor. Canadian bacon — sourced from local farms — sat on the challah topped with two perfectly poached eggs and rich homemade hollandaise sauce. Edward broke the eggs, the yolks oozing and running just as they should be. Anthony Bourdain once said, “If you put a runny egg on anything, I will eat it.” These hit the mark as did the smooth and rich hollandaise. Edward chose a potato latke, which was pure Jewish grandma on a plate. The finely grated potatoes were creamy inside with a crisp, golden brown outside. My breakfast was another winner. I like my eggs gently scrambled, and that’s exactly how they arrived. Honey’s uses organic eggs from nearby farms, and one can tell because the yolks are a deep yellow-orange. Moist creamy scrambled eggs should be a must in every restaurant. Three strips of crisp, thick-slab bacon made me most happy as well. There were two more tasty components to my first meal since the return of my taste buds: Pancakes and a bowl of grits. Three slightly thick homemade pancakes arrived on a separate plate as requested. I covered them with a plate to keep them hot while I devoured my bacon and eggs. They stayed hot by the way. I slathered

on softened butter, poured on real maple syrup and tossed calories to the wind. I am a maven when it comes to real grits. I have loved them since childhood when our family took long road trips down south to Miami Beach. The love affair with grits deepened during a yearlong stay in Atlanta when I would mosey over to the sweet Auburn neighborhood and dig into cornmeal-crusted chicken livers and grits. Honey’s version was the real Southern deal — stone ground and packed with texture. Don’t even think they come from the boxed instant variety found in the supermarket. The grits were piping hot, and all they required were lots of butter, salt and pepper. The staff is well-trained, courteous and

Food Columnist
u utumn officially has arrived aand the cool, crisp morning air hhas put me in cooking mode. Each year at this time, I write E oone of my favorite columns: “Cook on Sunday, feast all week.” While Edward is watching the Eagles or the Phillies, I brew myself a cup of coffee or tea, turn my radio dial to WRTI to allow Bob Perkins to select the jazz, pull out my pots and prepare a soup, a stew and a roast. I make enough to last all week. All you have to do is change the salads and side dishes for a delicious hassle-free meal. Through the years I have supplied recipes for all sorts of soups, vegetable, wild mushroom, chicken rice and so forth. While leafing through “Cook This Now” by Melissa Clark, I came upon a recipe for Beet and Cabbage Borscht with Dill. It’s really easy to make. I often forget pork can be turned into a terrific stew, especially in the fall when root vegetables are plentiful and flavorful. Now that Pennsylvania apples are in the markets, I am having a fun time developing recipes with them, as well as preparing the classic ones everyone enjoys. I didn’t care for Eye Round until I purchased a top-quality roast at Whole Foods. Be careful not to overcook it, and make sure you purchase one with some fat in it. Eye round tends to be very lean beef. So pick a Sunday and have fun with these recipes.
■ Roast Eye Round ■ Ingredients: 1 4-pound long, narrow eye round
Instead of ying with the Birds, kickoff the week with the simmering sounds of preparing a scrumptious mult-night feast guaranteed to earn stellar marks from stomachs.
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1-1/2 cups of beef broth 1 cup of dry red wine
Directions: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Bring the roast to room temperature. Wipe it dry with paper towels and season with the salt and pepper. Place the roast in a roasting pan. Roast for 75 minutes. Remove the roast and let cool for 15 minutes before carving. Place the roasting pan on top of the stove. Add the broth and wine, bring to a boil and using a wooden spoon, loosen the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour into a gravy boat and serve. Serves eight.
■ Beet and Cabbage ■ Borscht with Dill Ingredients:
1/2 small head of green cabbage, cut into quarters and cored 4 medium raw beets, peeled and quartered 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 fat garlic cloves, finely chopped 6 cups of chicken or vegetable broth 1-3/4 teaspoons kosher salt 3/4 cup of fresh dill, chopped 1-1/2 teaspoons of red wine vinegar Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving
Directions: Pass the cabbage through the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the coarse grating blade. Transfer the cabbage to a large bowl. Pass the beets through the feed tube, and add the grated beets to the bowl with the cabbage. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium until the foam subsides. Add the onion. Cook, stirring until the onion is slightly softened, for about five minutes. Add the garlic, cook for one minute. Add the cabbage and beets. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, tossing occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted, for about 10 minutes. Add the broth and 1 teaspoon of the salt to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Stir in the dill and the remaining salt and vinegar. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Serves four to six.
■ Pork Stew ■ with Root Vegetables
Ingredients: 3 pounds of pork shoulder, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces, wiped dry with paper towels. Enough Canola oil to coat the bottom of a 5-quart pot Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 large onion, diced 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks 4 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks 2 large turnips, peeled and cut into chunks About 1/2 cup of flour 1 32-ounce package of chicken or vegetable broth 1-1/2 cups of dry white wine 2 large bay leaves
Directions: Heat the oil over medium-high. Working in batches, add the pork and sauté until browned. Season with the salt and pepper. Remove the pork to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the vegetables, and sauté them until the onion is a bit translucent, for about eight minutes. Return the pork to the pot. Add the flour, and toss well until the flour is cooked, for about two minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients, bring the contents of the pot to a boil, lower the heat to simmer, cover with the lid askew and cook for two hours. The pork should be fork tender. You may need to simmer the stew for an additional 30 minutes. Serves six. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

Sprinting toward maturity An Olympic medalist helped Pennsport students to see that healthy lifestyles will further their goals.
PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php who learned of the challenge through the School District of Philadelphia, said. With the funds, the educator will look to buy traditional well-being helpers and more television monitors for the game, which she hopes will continue to dissuade any desires to imbibe before they reach age 21. “Do you know how much underage drinking you should do?” Gay, who mentioned his daughter Trinity, 11, as someone who also could one day find herself faced with peer pressure to drink, asked. “Zero, zip, zilch, that’s how much.” The Florida resident, who also claimed the 100-, 200- and 4x100 meter relay golds at the ’07 International Association of Athletics Federations’ World Championships in Osaka, Japan, revealed his childhood bore his passion, as he took up running at the onset of adolescence, though he had to deal with the plight of friends who could not wait to consume libations. “Underage drinking won’t help you with anything except for learning how to misuse your potential,” he said. “Academics are huge and if you ever find yourself forgetting what you should be doing, talk with someone. I want all of you to be successful in whatever you do. It’s time to start working seriously on whatever goals you have, and alcohol won’t help you in the long run.”

Joseph Myers talks
By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
A
s an accomplished runner, Tyson Gay has become accustomed to delighting audiences in less than 10 seconds. The 30-year-old speedster opted for an hour of offering amazement Tuesday at Abigail Vare School, 1621 E. Moyamensing Ave., discussing healthy lifestyles and the perils of underage drinking. His appearance came as a reward for the Pennsport school’s spring victory in the “Ask, Listen, Learn: Kids and Alcohol Don’t Mix” program and endowed youngsters with enough ambition to follow in his blazing footsteps courtesy of his presenting them with a $1,000 check that will go toward purchasing physical education tools. Vare’s sixth through eighth grades flocked to the gymnasium to interact
with Gay, who is finishing his first year as an ambassador for Ask, Listen, Learn, a nine-year-old initiative through which Arlington, Va.’s The Century Council and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education call on athletes as “Superstars” who advocate for youths to resist alcohol. Their partnership tabbed Gay to visit Vare a month after he helped the United States to score the 4x100 meter relay silver medal at the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London. “I congratulate you on winning,” the Kentucky native, whose 9.69-second 100-meter effort in a 2009 Shanghai race set an American record and gave him the second fastest time ever, said to the children. “You have begun to understand just how many temptations are out there and how beating them can give you so much pride.” To merit his presence, the learners
Owning the second fastest time in the 100 meters and scoring a relay silver medal in London last month have helped Tyson Gay to earn a reputation as a disciplined athlete whom Vare youngsters will look to emulate. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
devoted two weeks in April to mastering Ask, Listen, Learn’s five interactive running competitions. They battled 29 other sites to amass paces and correct answers to inquiries on alcohol’s effects. The-then fifth graders captured one of the three $1,000 grand prizes, with thethen sixth- and seventh-grade classes’ second- and third-place finishes swelling the total to $1,750. “They wanted so much to win and have a chance to meet a notable figure,” physical education instructor Melissa Ficklin,
Following his remarks, which included mention of obtaining sufficient sleep and making sound nutritional selections, Gay and seven students faced off using the Ask, Listen, Learn foot race to much applause. A council study has found that 33 percent of teenagers have tried alcohol by the time they reach the eighth grade and that five percent of 12- to 14-year-olds have admitted to trying alcohol within the last month, so the game allowed the pupils to see the detrimental aspects of consumption by posing questions on topics such as impaired judgment, alcohol’s role in a healthy lifestyle and peer pressure. “I really feel the pressure is what tempts kids the most,” Gay said. “Even if they haven’t faced it yet, they will soon.” The sprinter helped the children to estabcontinued on next page »
SPORTS » continued from previous page lish a sizable step count before enlisting himself as a cheerleader, with much kudos going to sixth-grader Alan Chaing. “I love running,” the 12-year-old resident of Fifth and Mountain streets said of his three-year hobby. “Last school year, I really focused on getting us points for the competition. I’m really happy we won and could meet Tyson. He’s an Olympic champion after all.” Gay proudly displayed his silver medal and passed it around to give all an indication of what allegiance to great health could yield. He answered numerous questions, including ones on his preparation and his likelihood of toppling Jamaican rival Usain Bolt’s record of 9.58 seconds in the 100 meters.
■ s o u t h p h i l l y r ev i ew.c o m “I definitely want to be the best,” he said. “You could be the same in whatever field.” Following the check acceptance, Gay posed for photos and pondered his participation’s purpose. “Presentations like this are the most rewarding part,” he said of his ambassador role. “Kids always have to know what’s ahead.” November training awaits Gay, whose indoor season will begin in February. Alan will certainly be cheering for him. “We were excited in May to hear we’d won,” he said. “This is a great way to celebrate.” SPR Visit asklistenlearn.com.
