What are your thoughts on Rasheed Scrugs getting sentenced to life in prison versus the death penalty?
Justice for Anthony J. DeMarco Jr.
“I think if you kill a cop, you should get the death penalty.” Tammy Snyder, 30th Street and Snyder Avenue
“They should get what they deserve, so the punishment fits the crime.” Edith Innavrato, 22nd and Wolf streets
“I don’t believe in the death penalty. What’s the purpose? Whose to say death is the punishment? Are we looking for an eye for an eye or for the judicial system to give down the laws?” Bilal Islam, 23rd Street and Grays Ferry Avenue
“I still don’t think the death penalty is handed out evenly, but no matter what you do, it’s not gonna bring the police [officer] back.” Fareed Khabeer, Broad and Wolf streets Interviews by Liz Wann Photos by Ilana Bagel

To the Editor: I attended a town meeting on Oct. 28 at E.O.M., 138 Moore St. I was under the impression it was called because of the robbery and murder of 20-year-old Anthony J. DeMarco Jr. This young man was walking in his own neighborhood with a couple of boys [Oct. 20]. Some outsiders came into our neighborhood with a loaded gun, driving on our streets, looking to rob and murder one of our children. Then [Oct. 25], a car from outside our neighborhood drove through Wolf and Jackson streets and sprayed all the parked cars with acid. There was supposedly a police van at the scene, but officers did not see the incident. The meeting was very crowded with people from the Pennsport and Whitman communities, which are closeknit neighborhoods. I was totally surprised that as the meeting continued with a question-and-answer session, the people seemed concerned with Halloween trick-or-treating, curfew time, street lighting, etc. They also complained of underage drinking and kids hanging on corners. These may be some concerns, but our kids are not the ones carrying the guns. These are the least of our troubles. Not one person addressed the situation of how to protect our children playing at the park or walking anywhere else in our neighborhood. We are on our own streets where we have grown up and lived for many years. We need to be more aware of the punks and thugs from other areas driving through our streets with loaded guns with the full intent to rob and murder our children or anyone else they encounter. The people of Whitman and Pennsport better wake up and smell the coffee because if this problem is not addressed, there will be more parents, grandparents and families burying their children. If the people from this area don’t get up and stand together, we will see a repeat of this crime and tragedy. About two years ago, my grandson and a friend were approached by a man with a loaded gun attempting to rob them on Second and Ritner streets. My grandson was shot twice, but he survived. The gunman was not from our neighborhood. There are probably more of these crimes being committed in our streets. We must be aware and more vigilant in protecting our children where we live. Believe me. No other family wants to go through the pain that the De-
marco and Gable families are. There is no greater loss than that of a young child. Anthony was not sick, not in an accident, but rather gunned down and murdered. It’s a senseless death his family will live with for the rest of their lives. A $15,000 reward is being offered for the capture and prosecution of the persons responsible for the senseless murder of Anthony J. Demarco Jr. If you have any information, please contact homicide detectives at 215-686-3334. The Demarco and Gable families South Philadelphia
One misstep To the Editor: I have lived on the 2900 block of South Sydenham Street for 12 years and my children have gone to Bregy Elementary School, 1700 Bigler St., since we have been here. I have one more — my 11-year-old — left at Bregy. I have kept quiet about this issue for this long and I can’t do it anymore. How disrespectful and disgusting it is to have to walk on the school pavements and have to constantly say, “watch where you are walking,” because people are so inconsiderate and apparently can’t read either. There are signs along the gates up and down the 2900 block of South 17th Street that say, “$300 fine if you do not clean up after your dog.” Are you serious? What because you don’t have children or your children go to St. Richard? The children at Bregy don’t deserve to have clean pavements? This morning I had to have my son stand in the hallway of his school with one sneaker on so I could clean the other of dog poo. Thankfully one of the kindergarten teachers was nice enough to get me a toothbrush and plastic gloves to clean it off. Do you realize it is not only disgusting, but a health hazard as well? I live in this neighborhood too and I know that just about every child in this community goes to a Catholic or charter school, but my child doesn’t. He goes to Bregy and deserves to walk along the sidewalks around the school without having to worry about getting dog poo on his shoes and where God forbid he might touch it and get some sort of sickness from it. The person who gave me the toothbrush and gloves is a kindergarten
teacher and she says that she likes to take the children for walks to get them out for fresh air and exercise. They constantly have to zig-zag through dog poo because people just don’t care. Why wouldn’t you care? You live in this neighborhood too. I know this kind of thing happens everywhere, but for God sake you are letting your dog contaminate an area where there are children constantly around. What is wrong with you? I’m telling you now I will find out what I can do to stop it. If I have to stand out there from dusk to dawn to find out who is letting their dog poo on school property and follow them home to make sure I know where to send the cops with their fine, I will.

big. Writing journalistically these past six years has taught me how to remove any sort of emotion from my writing — which may be good for newspaper/magazine objectivity, but terrible for memoirs that rely heavily— I mean heavily—on emotion. “You’ll get there,� says my encouraging instructor. But why can’t I already “be� there? I guess I’m learning — there goes that word again — that I’m impatient. I want immediacy, I want answers, and I want them now. And that’s OK. I’ve accepted this fact about myself. I feel it’s healthy to question when the lessons will stop. I feel once they do, I can truly enjoy life. Then it dawned on me. Why did I decide to take a job in journalism? One of the overriding reasons was I love learning new things. Why should my life’s lessons be any different? The learning may be more personal, but it’s still learning. Maybe the lessons never end. Maybe the more things we learn about ourselves, the better able we are to navigate through this crazy ride called life. SPR

During the monthly session with my shrink, he tells me I’ve made strides in addressing my emotions, but “there’s more to learn.� I’m paying him a small fortune per session, so I’m sure the comment was his way of luring me back to the couch again and again. Similarly, I’m currently taking an online writing course in order to get some pointers on writing a book about my life that, on the surface, may seem blandly normal to outsiders, yet to me, at barely 30, it’s already been quite a ride.

Chop shop shut down
Thirteen were arrested for insurance fraud and related offenses including the owner of a Grays Ferry auto body shop and three local customers. By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor
O
fficials estimate a New Jersey man helped to stage at least 22 fraudulent insurance claims totaling $300,000 at his Grays Ferry business.

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I NOVEMBER 11, 2010
Witnesses followed a vehicle that a robber hopped in after mugging a couple, which resulted in the arrest of the driver. The two robbers remain at large. Two men walked up to a 29-year-old, threw him against a wall on the 1300 block of Federal Street at 8:13 p.m. Nov. 4, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One suspect made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the man’s neck while his accomplice took his wallet that contained identification, a credit card, SEPTA pass and $32. The first suspect snatched the man’s 33-year-old girlfriend’s purse before the two fled east on Federal, but the man chased after them while calling 911. The accomplice fled toward a 1999 silver Mercury Sable and jumped in the backseat, Tolliver said. With the rear door still open, the man grabbed the offender and was hanging out of the vehicle as it headed south on 12th Street when the driver, Sovesoth Jerry Kim, allegedly punched him three times causing the man to lose his grip as the car sped off. Individuals in a passing car asked the man if he was OK and then tailed the escaping vehicle while calling 911 and supplying the car’s license plate number to the operator, Tolliver said. The witnesses followed the Mercury for five minutes until both got stuck behind a car that was blocking the road 500 block of Cross Street. Kim is believed to have put the Mercury in reverse, and it almost struck the witnesses’ car before trying to jump the curb. The accomplice fled the car by running east toward Fifth Street. Police arrived on location and arrested Kim, 20, of the 2100 block of South Seventh Street. Kim was charged with criminal conspiracy, robbery, theft, aggravated assault and simple assault. The first suspect was described as a black man in his 20s, 5-foot-7, thin and had a short afro while the second was described as an Asian man, in his 20s, 5-foot-4, stocky with a goatee.

SHALOM continued from page 1 agency since ’83, having spent nearly half at Hunting Park’s Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls and the rest in South Philadelphia’s elementary schools. She delights the students from St. Nick’s and the area’s nine other Catholic grade schools through Shalom’s 19-year-old Beginning Alcohol and Addictions Basic Education Studies Program. Over eight sessions, learners receive information on self-esteem, feelings, decision-making and coping skills, and discover the perils of addiction through Meder’s 45-minute deliveries. “We always work in a classroom,” Phyllis Logan, who, in her 13th year with Shalom, serves as supervisor for grade school programs, said. “Doing so allows for a better exchange between Joyce and the students.” Wagner, a terrier, joined Stephanie Baldino’s 26 second graders for a talk on anger management. Suffering from a lack of sleep because of fleas, he howled in frustration as the students, fresh off the previous week’s discussion on manners, tried to console him. The canine needed convincing, so a handful of students joined him for “The S.T.O.P. Song” and “The S.T.O.P. Song” cheer, both designed to level frustration, as the others used paper bag dog puppets to pep up the pooch. “I like when Wagner howls,” Joe Matteis, of the 800 block of Morris Street, said of the visits. As for how he copes with setbacks, Matteis chooses his thumbs over his vocal chords. “When I’m mad, I play video games,” he said. ENTERING CECILIA RINALDI’S first-grade classroom, Meder met 32 pairs of excited eyes eager to watch her wield her puppets. She used seven of them to instruct the children on preventing conflict by sharing and abstaining from bullying. “Today’s word is ‘violence,’ boys and girls,” Meder, who holds a master’s degree in guidance and counseling from Rider University, said. With ample training in clowning, magic, puppetry and children’s entertainment, she makes each session a fun exercise to prevent substance abuse and other selfdestructive behaviors. The first graders watched as Meder took out Buttons, Bows, Myth Mary, Rhonda Rabbit, Recovering Reggie, Early Bird and Donovan Dignity. The first four act as peer characters. Buttons and Bows are brother and sister kittens who must often make decisions alone, Myth Mary is a squirrel with a penchant for fibbing and Rhonda Rabbit is a shy lagomorph. Her role as a child in a chemically dependent home allows the remaining three figures — the helping char-

acters — to provide information on why addiction occurs and how to find help for loved ones. The children beamed as Recovering Reggie, Early Bird and Donovan Dignity assisted Buttons and Bows. Reggie, a dog, is a recovering cross-addicted alcoholic who discusses his former dependency and subsequent recuperation. Early Bird acts as a cautionary figure for characters when they may end up in trouble and have received wrong information, usually from Myth Mary. Donovan, an owl, works as a sage who refrains from judging characters, focusing instead on relaying messages to children in straightforward terms. The accessories helped Meder as she told “I Don’t Feel Safe,” a story in which Buttons and Bows quarreled, resulting in shoving, hurt feelings and a broken toy. The tale comes on the heels of October’s Bully Prevention Month. According to a 2007 U.S. Department of Justice study, 77 percent of students report being a victim of a bully and Pennsylvania has the country’s fifth worst bullying problem. “Violence only causes more violence,” Meder said through Donovan. “It’s not OK to hurt yourself or others. Violence can hurt a person’s body and that person’s heart.” Meder also had Myth Mary help the students to differentiate between good TV and bad TV due to the A.C. Nielsen Co.’s July ’09 conclusion that the average child will view 8,000 TV murders by the time he or she finishes elementary school and 200,000 violent TV acts by the time that child hits 18. “How should we react when someone shoves us, hits us or calls us names?” Meder asked. “Should we do those actions back to that person?” “No!” the students shouted in unison. “That’s right. We have so many ways to
respond. For starters, we can walk away,” Meder said. Responding so maturely would fit nicely with the philosophy of Sister Madeleine Boyd, the Sister of Notre Dame de Namur who began Shalom, and that of Logan and Meder, whose organization’s programs all include an emphasis on not succumbing to aggression, sadness or peer pressure. Meder finished her time with the first graders with a sing-along that had students wearing the puppets in a warm rendition of “This Little Light of Mine.” “I like that we learned about stopping violence,” Jenna Torres, of the 1300 block of South 13th Street, said. “Ms. Joyce is fun.” Torres wore Bows during the sing-along, the third time she has donned the puppet. “Rhonda is my favorite, though,” she said. With Meder’s guidance, the ten elementary schools are using evidence-based curricula, materials that research has proven effective, in easing the temptations of drugs and alcohol. Shalom also addresses child abuse, sexual abuse, gambling addiction and eating disorders. As she nears 30 years of community service with the agency, Meder derives pleasure out of instructing and interacting. “The children love the puppets, songs, role plays, skits and other activities,” she said before a dash to another school. “It is exciting to hear how the children use the skills in their everyday life after they learn them in the classroom. I enjoy finding the good in the world and expanding on it.” SPR For more information, call 215-4257727 or visit www.shalominc.com.

local politician — who would have entered his 16th term in Harrisburg in January — passed away Tuesday. Since 1980, state Rep. Robert Donatucci has served the state House of Representative’s 185th District. The 1970 graduate of Bishop Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., and chairman of the House Liquor Control Committee was recently re-elected in the Nov. 2 State rep general election Robert Donatucci with 83 percent of the vote against Republican Michael D. Bruno. Born May 3, 1952, Donatucci is survived by his wife Maria Patelmo and their two children. The viewing is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Friday and 9 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Pennsylvania Burial Company, 132735 S. Broad St. The funeral will be held at St. Monica Parrish, 17th and Ritner streets, 11 a.m. Saturday. “I was saddened to hear of the death of state Rep. Donatucci,” state Sen. Larry Farnese said in a statement. “He was a loyal and dedicated man who devoted himself to his community.” State Sen. Anthony H. Williams said Donatucci’s statesmanship, wisdom and work ethic will be missed “It was my honor to work side-by-side with him for the past 20 years to make a real difference in the lives of the people in our district and throughout Pennsylavania,” Williams said. State Rep. Kenyatta Johnson said Rep. Donatucci was an esteemed colleague and his passing is a devastating loss to the city of Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. “May God bless his family during this difficult time and always, and I will continue to keep them in my prayers,” Johnson said.

BRIDGE continued from page 1 has not been adversely affected by the South Street Bridge’s ongoing construction over the past two years, she hopes that its reopening will draw an influx of students from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as bring back customers forced to change their routines during the 23-month period. “I didn’t necessarily feel it when [the bridge] closed, but I’m hoping it will be awesome now that it’s open,” Silverman said. Between 4 and 7 p.m., 23 restaurants, coffee shops and corner stores participated in the neighborhood celebration at the Grays Ferry Triangles — triangles of land that form where Grays Ferry Avenue crosses South and Bainbridge streets — by offering at least one item for $1 among other specials. This followed pedestrians, bicyclists, and skaters of all ages crowding the South Street Bridge Saturday afternoon in celebration of its reopening a month ahead of schedule. Other vendors in the area have not faired nearly as well when the project was under construction. Parviz Yathrebi, proprietor of Woven Treasures, an oriental rug store at 2220 South St., noticed a significant decrease in patronage since the bridge closed to traffic Dec. 8, 2008. “Initially, I didn’t think it would affect me so much, but later on I found out really the street became a dead end,” Yathrebi said. “And the community around here ended up being the only customers.” Business owners like Joanne Kniele of Sophisticated Seconds, 2204 South St., and Ossafa Barouki of Olde Towne and Sanna’s, 2301 Grays Ferry Ave., estimated customer loss to fall between 40 and 50 percent. “The South Street bridge is very important to everyone,” Barouki said. In particular, Barouki cited the decrease in students from University City and workers from the nearby hospitals. While the restaurant, which offers Mediterranean cuisine alongside American fare, still held on to loyal West Philadelphia patrons, Barouki hopes that the reopened bridge will allow for much faster delivery to regular customers. “I used to have one or two drivers in the morning,” Barouki said. “Now we have three drivers … just to make it on time.” THE $67.4 MILLION project was designed with input from numerous meetings dating back to ’06 between city officials and residents who formed the South Street Bridge Coalition. The current infrastructure is the third bridge to span 27th to 34th streets. The previous 86-year-old bridge was deemed “structurally deficient” by PennDOT. Im-
Under construction for nearly two years, the new South Street Bridge reopened Saturday. Pedestrians and bicyclists strolled the site and took in the view prior to Saturday’s official ceremony. s ta f f P h o t o b y g r e g b e z a n i s
provements include sidewalks that are two feet wider, six-foot-by-four-inch wide bicycle lanes and signaled crossing at the Schuylkill River Trail. Connections to the future trail extensions, as well as the tower’s decorative glass, LED lighting and pedestrian overlooks have not yet been created. “This is a bridge to somewhere and from somewhere. And that somewhere is Phila-
ward a number of other improvements. The South of South Neighborhood Association (SOSNA), in partnership with the Center City Resident’s Association, has developed a concept known as the South X Schuylkill Plan. It spans from Lombard Street to the CSX railroad tracks at Wash. Ave., and from 21st Street to the Schuylkill River. The community groups hope the developers will
‘Initially, I didn’t think it would affect me so much, but later on I found out really the street became a dead end. And the community around here ended up being the only customers.’ -Parviz Yathrebi, owner of Woven Treasures, 2220 South St. delphia,” Mayor Michael Nutter said during Saturday’s ceremony. Once the celebratory speeches were over and the large red ribbon stretched across the road was cut, spectators joined a procession that traveled eastwards along a balloon-bedecked South Street. As the crowd traveled to the beat of the West Powelton Steppers Drill Team, that “somewhere” quickly evolved into the dozens of businesses participating in an after-party signaling the importance of the bridge’s reopening to neighborhood industry. The 1,800-foot long bridge reopened to automobile traffic Saturday night. The community also hopes to work to-
consult with residents’ wishes before putting projects into play. “For instance, not just putting parking lots in and hiding interesting streetscape, but working with the city on infrastructure,” Kristin Davidson, a Center City Resident’s Association board member, said. The Triangles on Grays Ferry Avenue Gateway Project, a similar venture being organized by SOSNA, aims to improve the Grays Ferry Triangles. The current configuration of the area creates a safety hazard for pedestrians and drivers, but SOSNA hopes to eliminate these problems, as well as to provide aesthetic and accessible public spaces to neighborhood residents. The project, first developed about five
years ago when the City Planning Commission evaluated the area in ’05, envisions closing off the intersection created by 23rd Street, Grays Ferry Avenue and South Street, and turning it into a public plaza. The implementation of the project will involve looking at the concerns of people who live and work in the area, to ensure that everyone’s needs will be met, Andrew Dalzell, SOSNA’s program coordinator, said. “And how specifically that gets done remains to be seen, but the project involves doing a traffic study, looking at how traffic flows around that intersection,” he said, as well as finding out “whether there might be a better, smarter way to reroute traffic.” Of course, the first example of this active community development begins with the South Street Bridge reopening. The city estimates more than 30,000 people a day will utilize the South Street Bridge and hopefully contribute to the economic development of the communities it connects. While some business owners regretted that the city did not move sooner to rebuild the bridge, overall expectations were positive. “Our business has definitely tenfolded since we opened the doors,” Lindsay Duggan, founder of Girl.Bike.Dog, a corner store at 625 S. 23rd St. that specializes in messenger bags and dog gear, said the day of the reopening.

Bow to the bow tie A former fashionable college basketball coach is being inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame.
By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r
P
hiladelphia calls itself “The City That Loves You Back.” Tonight, Jim Phelan will prove the nickname has no statute of limitations when he returns for enshrinement into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame’s seventh class. The induction at the Society Hill Sheraton will situate the 81-year-old former basketball coach only a few miles from where he spent the first fifth of his life. As one of 16 honorees, Phelan will be joining his 12th Hall of Fame. The night will lend him additional athletic immortality and give him even more cause to recall his sporting origins. “South Philadelphia was the start of athletics for me, basically,” Phelan said via phone from his Emmitsburg, Md. home. “It was a great place to grow up.” He did this maturing on the 1700 blocks of Ritner Street and Snyder Avenue. Hoops held his interest at St. Monica School, 1724 Ritner St., beginning in the fifth grade and gave him a lifelong friend in Paul Arizin, a member of the Philadelphia Hall’s 2004 charter group and The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s 1978 class. “Paul lived only a few houses from me, so we had many good times together,” Phelan said of Arizin, who died in 2006. The two continued together at Olney’s La Salle College High School, where the younger Phelan earned All-Catholic honors in 1946 and ’47, the latter campaign also including All-City distinction. He played four seasons for then-La Salle College, earning three All-Philadelphia selections. As a senior, he experienced his first taste of coaching. “The school gave me a team to coach, and I had Tom Gola when he was a freshman. Wow, was he impressive!” Phelan said of the former Philadelphia Warriors star who joined the Naismith Hall of Fame in ’76 and the Philadelphia Hall with Arizin. A stint in the Marine Corps, which included service in the Korean War, and a spell with the Warriors ended Phelan’s playing days, setting him up for a nearly half-century assignment as the head coach
In these images, Jim Phelan displays bow ties that have become as synonymous with him as his 830 wins and 49 seasons at one school. Photos provided by mount saint mary’s university
at Mount St. Mary’s University, a Catholic institution also in Emmitsburg. “I like to say that I took a one-year contact and made it last for 49 years,” Phelan said with a chuckle. BEGINNING IN ’54 and ending in 2003, he guided the Mountaineers to 830 wins, a total that puts him in fifth place on the all-time list. Nobody, however, can top his 1,354 games coached. Though a small school with 1,600 undergraduates, “The Mount” boasts a decent basketball pedigree due entirely to Phelan. His tenure witnessed the school’s capturing the NCAA College Division II Basketball Championship in 1962. Add only 15 NCAA Division II Tournament appearances, four Final Fours and another championship game to the ’62 success and Phelan’s legacy would have been secure. However, more numbers highlight his pro-
fessional success. He won the Division II Coach of the Year Award in ’62 and ’81 and received District II Coach of the Year honors in ’81, ’85 and ’86. “I had great teams, especially in the ’80s,” Phelan said, lacking any trace of ego over his accomplishments. The program moved to Division I in ’87, joining the Northeast Conference two years later. He won the league’s Coach of the Year award in ’93 and ’96 and captured two conference championships, securing automatic bids to the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament, in ’95 and ’99. Phelan recalls the ’95 loss, a 113-67 setback to the Kentucky Wildcats in Memphis, Tenn. with humor. “We were up 5-2, and I was praying for an earthquake,” the coach, who donned bow ties throughout his sideline strolls in honor of a college coach, said.
Early last decade, a doctor diagnosed him with prostate cancer, but its clearing kept him fixing his ties and instructing young men. He stepped down March 1, 2003 and has taken advantage of every golfing opportunity that retirement has afforded him. He learned of his selection to the Philadelphia Hall of Fame in a recent phone call. “The news struck me. It is nice to receive such distinction,” he said of the evening, which will include a dinner reception, a silent auction and a museum exhibit from the Hall’s collection of artifacts. The honor comes three months after his joining The Marine Corps Sports Hall of Fame in Quantico, Va., and two years after entering The National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City, Mo. Well-traveled, Phelan enjoys reflecting on his South Philadelphia beginnings. “I left my junior year of high school, when my mother and I moved to (Delaware County’s) Drexelbrook. The area is dear to me. It has such memorable places,” he said. He recalls sneaking into the 1937 ArmyNavy clash at Municipal Stadium, which closed in ’89, and watching the Eagles practice as a fourth grader at League Island Park, which, in ’84, became Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park, Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. “The neighborhood was so interesting, half-Irish, half-Italian. Everyone was a character,” he said. Short distances from Baltimore and the nation’s capital, Phelan continues to enjoy big city experiences. For tonight’s ceremony, he will have the company of, among others, wife Dottie and daughter Lynne Robinson, Mount St. Mary’s director of athletics. Eager to fraternize with the honorees, Phelan has only one worry, how to convey his appreciation in the two to four minutes he will have. Whatever he says when he faces the crowd, he will sport a bow tie. “Oh, I will definitely wear one. The mystery is which one I will choose,” Phelan said.

Schizophrenia Research Study Patricia Prelle Mercy Home Health Patient
Mercy Starts With Me
“ Mercy gave me a new lease on life! ” Although I’ve lived with diabetes for over 25-years, after major surgery I was unable to control my sugar levels. My doctor recommended Mercy Home Health for the Telehealth Monitoring program. Every morning I tested my blood sugar, weight and blood pressure. My results were electronically sent to my Home Health nurse who called or visited me if any results were outside my normal range. Now that’s quality care! The Telehealth Monitoring program gave on-the-spot results which allowed me to better manage my diabetes and my overall health. I’m now focused on living a healthier lifestyle and as a result I’ve lost weight, my blood pressure is stable and my sugar levels are under control. I now have more energy than I have had in years. At 72 years young, Mercy has given me a new lease on life!
We are conducting a study of an investigational study drug to see if it improves thinking skills like focusing, remembering, and problem solving in people with schizophrenia.

With Thanksgiving two weeks away, it’s time to go bird shopping. Select a fowl-feathered friend big enough to feed the entire crowd then let the fun begin. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
T
hanksgiving is the most American holiday. It is celebrated by people of all faiths and ethnicities with an atheist and agnostic thrown in for good measure. We often think of this meal as a feast served to a small army. In reality, families are getting smaller. I know many couples who have one child and others who are child-free by choice. I recently visited my godson Teddy, a freshman at Princeton University. He told me many students, especially those from California, do not travel home for the four-day break. One of Teddy’s roommates is from India. Until his arrival at the Central New Jersey campus, he had never visited America before. Perhaps a fellowclassmate will invite him to his home for his first Thanksgiving. This year, I am providing recipes that will serve six to eight people. Vegetarians do not fear Thanksgiving because although the bird is the star of the feast, the side dishes are a meal in itself. I was going to forage for a recipe for tofu, but realized there is something called Tofurkey on the market. I have no idea what it is except it is tofu made to taste like turkey. If there are going to be six to eight guests at your table, a 12-pound turkey is quite ample and there will be leftovers. Buy a fresh organic free-range turkey from a reputable butcher or market. Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s sell mighty fine gobblers,
although I buy my turkey from Godshall’s in the Reading Terminal Market. They arrive fresh from Bolton’s Farm in Bucks County. I always make a mushroom stuffing for Thanksgiving. I once broke this tradition and made Chestnut Stuffing and my sister Sandy turned up her nose. Now that she has developed a tiny bit of culinary adventure, I will make the Chestnut Stuffing again. Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and winter squash make their annual appearance, although I prepare these vegetables year-round. I never make salad. If I want some crunch, a relish tray will suffice. Our family prefers whole cranberry sauce to the jellied variety. Bread comes from the Metropolitan Bakery. A selection of pies including pumpkin, apple and pecan are served with whipped cream, coffee and tea. There is no longer a wine debate in our home. Ravenswood select Zinfandel is our red of choice. A crisp, grassy Sauvignon Blanc is sipped with the shrimp cocktail.
■ Roast Turkey ■ Ingredients: 1 12- to 15-pound fresh turkey, at room temperature, giblets removed and patted dry with a paper towel Vegetable oil or softened butter Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Imported sweet or smoky Hungarian paprika, to taste 1 large onion, cut into chunks
2 stalks of celery, cut into chunks 15 ounces of chicken stock
Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Make sure the inside of the turkey is dry. Place the turkey in a deep roasting pan. Pour the oil into your hands and massage it all over. You also can use about one stick of softened butter. Sprinkle on the salt, pepper and paprika. Scatter the vegetables around the turkey in the bottom of the pan. Pour in the chicken stock. Cover the pan. Roast for 90 minutes. Remove the top from the pan and roast for another 30 minutes to one hour depending on the weight of the bird. The turkey is done when the leg wiggles freely. Allow to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving it. Strain the pan juices into a pot. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. You can add some dry sherry or Madeira to the gravy. Use a blend of cornstarch and water to thicken. Serves six to eight.
■ Chestnut Stuffing ■ Ingredients:
1 stick of unsalted butter 1 large onion, diced 1 pound of mushrooms of choice Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 14-ounce jar of chestnuts, coarsely chopped 1 16-ounce bag of Pepperidge Farm herb
crushed stuffing mix (it has a blue line on top of the bag) 1 32-ounce package of chicken or vegetable stock 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage or one-half teaspoon dry sage
Directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter over medium-high in a large skillet. Add the onion and mushrooms and sauté them just until the onions turn translucent, about eight minutes. Do not constantly sauté the vegetables. Let them sit from time to time. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Pour the stuffing mix, chestnuts and vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Blend well. Add the stock and blend again. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly to combine. You can stuff the turkey with the stuffing or evenly divide it between two baking dishes sprayed with vegetable spray. I always make the stuffing either the night before or early Thanksgiving morning. While the turkey is resting, place the two baking dishes of stuffing into the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes. Serves six to eight. Note from Phyllis: Nora Ephron, writer, film director (“Julie and Julia”) and great home cook also uses Pepperidge Farm herbed crushed stuffing mix. I pictured her allowing bread to go stale for weeks, but read she uses what I use. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/foodand-drink/features.

lthough grazing was a passing fad, we have Chef Jose Garces to thank for the small plate revolution. When he opened Amada five years ago, the launch caused a major culinary earthquake. The likes of which we have not seen since the Center City restaurant renaissance and nouvelle cuisine. Australian-born Chef Kevin Levett understands this successful concept only too well. He arrived from London to shake things up at Liberté, the bar/lounge area in the Sofitel Hotel. His resumé is outstanding. He worked at Claridge’s in Mayfair, the InterContinental London Park Lane and the Novotel London West. Unlike Garces, his petite plates are French-inspired. This is as it should be since the Sofitel is a French hotel. The bar/lounge area underwent a complete facelift. Warm browns and beiges provide a neutral backdrop for the all-day, all-night menu. There’s a hint of jewel colors for pop and even a library of Frenchinspired books for guests to enjoy while dining. Two televisions serve as bookends for the well-equipped welcoming bar. I took to the menu immediately. There is an inviting list of sandwiches, soup, salads, charcuterie and cheeses. I slid onto a high stool in the bar and sipped an iced tea. The menu offers a $25 four-course express lunch. This is a petite version of the à la carte menu. It includes a basket of warm homemade rosemary rolls, whole grain rolls and sliced baguettes with creamy

butter; the soup of the day; a choice of Niçoise or beet salad; a choice of three entrees; and the dessert of the day. The soup of the day was a rich tomato basil that the bartender poured into a hot white deep bowl from a pretty white pitcher. The headiness of the fragrant basil contrasted with the slightly sweet/acid tang of fresh pureed tomatoes. It warmed me up immediately and made me forget about the cold wind outside. Niçoise salad consisted of two large fresh leaves of Boston lettuce, which served as the base for the composed salad. A poached quail egg, marvelous haricots vert cooked al dente, a few grape tomato halves, a white anchovy (my favorite kind) and a three-inch piece of seared mahi-mahi formed the presentation, which was stimulating to the eye and to my taste buds. Is there anything better than a perfectly seared piece of seasoned-just-right fish? Ellen, the bartender, said the fish on the Niçoise salad changes daily as does the soup and dessert. My hot entrée was a potato galette, which was topped with a grilled portabello mushroom filled with seasoned diced mushrooms surrounded by green lentils. It was a masterpiece of flavors and textures. A potato galette consists of thinly sliced potatoes (these were Yukon Golds) that are stacked like a Napoleon and baked in the oven. It did not occur to me that my lunch was vegetarian. The entrée was satisfying and a marvelous dish for those

who do not eat meat. Dessert was a crème brûlée, which I confess I am tired of, but this version was fine. The top cracked when I hit my spoon on top and the custard was creamy and lemony. If you choose the express lunch, the courses come out all at once. If you prefer to enjoy one course at a time, just tell your server. Service was first-rate. A woman welcomed me to Liberté and took my coat to the coat room. I tip my toque to any restaurant that offers linen napkins 24/7. The white plates, flatware and glassware are very modern with a nod to Europe in style. My iced tea was included in the cost of my lunch and refills were offered throughout my meal. Levett has done one fine job in turning Liberté into a modern, chic restaurant where friends can meet for lunch, a drink

hen preparing the evening’s menu, home cooks first select a main course. But every good dish needs to be accompanied by a vegetable and, in most cases, a starch. The healthier types usually prefer doubling up on the veggies. Christina Maiellano isn’t one of those individuals as she enjoys potatoes when eating her homemade Italian burgers. The resident of the 2500 block of South 10th Street said her Easy Potato Pie completes any beefy offering. Once it hits the table, don’t expect one slice to satisfy a hungry appetite. This creamy and cheesy dish might leave some licking their utensils clean. SPR
Christina’s Potato Pie INGREDIENTS:
1-1/2 bags of Ore-Ida Steam n’ Mash cut red potatoes Cooking spray 2 tablespoons of butter 2/3 cups of evaporated milk 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened d 1/2 cup of sour cream Pinch of salt and pepper 1 cup of cheddar cheese 1/2 cup of real bacon bits 1 8- or 9-inch pie crust

Election autopsy
T
his was not the ordinary reset of a midterm election, but a direct rebuke of President Barack Obama. The staggering defeat cost the Democrats control of the House of Representatives. There are a lot of theories floating around as to why the electorate turned on the president. Jonathan Chait of “The New Republic” wrote that the stimulus, restructuring the Troubled Asset Relief Program and rescuing the banking system and the country’s auto industry were lumped together in the public’s mind as “the bailout.” Nevermind, according to Chait, the alternative was to let the banks and auto industry fail, while the economy continued to go off the cliff. Chait also blamed the “extended health care debate,” which he correctly lays at the feet of Senate Democrats. Also getting their share of the blame was the Dems allowing the tax cuts for 95 percent of Americans to get buried in the stimulus bill. Polls reflect Chait’s claim with only 12 percent of Americans knowing that they received a tax cut; most thought their taxes went up under Obama. Remember how George W. Bush handled his tax cuts? You received a check in the mail with a letter proclaiming what he had just done for you. Finally, Chait points out that the supposed Democratic majority was too dependent on the youth vote and other groups who don’t historically vote in midterm elections. Where was Rock the Vote when the Dems needed it? A dear friend of mine with whom I am often embroiled in political debate blames, in large part, the race factor and homophobia. I will never deny that race isn’t still a factor or that homophobia has disappeared, but it is my belief that those issues were way down the list in motivating folks’ vote. Just two years ago, many of these same voters helped elect Obama. I don’t think most voters elect a president and then hope he fails or that social attitudes change within two years. Folks who are very conservative on social issues probably never voted for Obama in the first place. The mighty backlash in the electorate was the unemployment rate — pure and simple. At a time when battlefield casualties are comparatively small and Iraq and Afghanistan has slipped from the public consciousness, there is no larger issue in the minds of the voters than jobs. All other negatives would have faded away if the unemployment rate were going in the right direction.
More than a year ago, another New Republic columnist John B. Judis wrote that voters would forgive the Obama Administration for a high unemployment rate if it were improving by Election Day. That never happened. In fact, the administration poured kerosene on the fire by being consistently wrong about its economic predictions. “It could’ve been worse” is not a winning election slogan. Thank you, Larry Summers, we’ll hardly miss ye. At the same time Judis had warned of the linkage between a stagnant unemployment rate and electoral disaster, Paul Krugman, “The New York Times” Nobel Prize winning columnist, warned the stimulus had to be bigger to lift us out of the deep economic hole the outgoing Bushies left us. If Obama didn’t go all out with a bigger stimulus package, Krugman correctly predicted, the president would be unable to go back to Congress for a second larger stimulus. And that is exactly what happened. The smaller stimulus helped to avoid a depression, but it wasn’t big enough to get the economy rolling again and provide more jobs. Instead, once the smaller stimulus failed to fulfill the predictions of the Obama Administration, Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats called for severe budget cuts that will only prolong the economic slump. So here is the way it is after the smoke cleared. Voters who are afraid of Medicare and Social Security cuts turned to Republicans who have long called for privatizing and cutting both programs. Voters who want to see a lower unemployment rate — and whose prescription for balancing the budget before stimulating the economy will only make things worse — have turned to the party that gave us the economic disaster. Voters who blame Wall Street and the banks for our woes voted for the party of Wall Street and the bankers by double digits Nov. 2. Middle class taxpayers voted for the party that would add billions to the budget deficit by making the Bush tax cuts permanent for the most affluent 1 percent. Folks who will benefit from the elimination of the doughnut hole in Medicare prescription drug coverage in the new Affordable Health Care for America Act voted in droves for the party that would repeal that benefit along with coverage for preexisting conditions and college-age kids. It is not so much that voters believe in voting against their best interests, they haven’t bothered to spend the time analyzing all of the issues. What voters saw was the job rate, an administration that doesn’t seem to have the solution and a president spending too much time on issues that weren’t so important to them. So they held their nose and voted for the other guys, hoping they had some answers. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.
‘Morning’ lacking its ‘Glory’
Becky, left (Rachel McAdams) struggles to revive a morning show with anchors Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton) and Mike Pomeroy (Harrison Ford).
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
C
entered around a morning show but very far from centered, the franticomedy “Morning Glory” scrambles for an identity, tripping and stumbling as much as its lovable, klutzy heroine, Becky (Rachel McAdams). Written by Aline Brosh McKenna and directed by Roger Michell, it baits laughter by drawing on all sorts of timetested (aka beaten-to-death) techniques: a little slapstick here, some basic-cable comic beats there, and a heaping helping of old-fashioned farce. Put them together and what’ve you got? A semi-delightful mess of a movie that dips and spikes like volatile ratings. At times, it’s a pleasure, but rarely more than a guilty one. Becky’s a blossoming workaholic who lands an unlikely executive-producer gig at “Daybreak,” a failing morning show based in an especially sunny New York. Viewership is down, funding is limited, even the dressingroom doorknobs are falling off. Can Becky spice up the show with her youthful gusto and drag it out of the dumps? Of course she can, and given McAdams’s sprightly handling of the irrepressible bit, it’s not hard to root for her success. But it is hard to find humanity in a single character, since every one of them just keeps repeating his or her assigned schtick. Becky is eagerness incarnate; as a ruffled host, Diane Keaton plays Colleen Peck with an unconvincing bitchy streak and hands flying; and as a revered newsman who deigns to take part in the broadcast, Harrison Ford embodies the only role he seems capable of these days: The gravelly-voiced grump. The overcooked archetypes reflect the
rest of this bubble-wrapped package: every gag, desire and crisis is hugely exaggerated in attempt to evoke classic screwball comedy. And yet, the filmmakers pair their vintage interests with a botched shot at edginess (the ending sees two characters walk into the sunset while making a prostate joke). When Becky finally rolls up her sleeves and gives “Daybreak” a makeover, committing to doing nothing but uniformly outrageous programming, it hits you: “Morning Glory” needed someone with her unwavering focus.

Recommended Rental The Kids Are All Right R Available Tuesday Writer/director Lisa Cholodenko scores big with “The Kids Are All Right,” an exceptionally well-written dramedy featuring Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a lesbian couple whose son and daughter seek out their sperm-donor father. Co-starring Mark Ruffalo and Mia Wasikowksa, it’s a thoroughly modern portrait of family and one of the year’s best films.

Lifestyles never even left — and we started to talk to each other and the second reunion wasn’t for another 20 years.” Knowing these long breaks were not enough face time for the longtime friends, the Class of ’54 started arranging their own South Philly-based lunches at places like “Scannicchio’s and Barrel’s” were they would meet up and discuss the past, present and future. “It would run between 15 to 30 people who meet once a month. It’s a pretty big crowd,” DiLeonardo said. “We’re getting ready to put together a complete class reunion. “It’s a story about this group of friends who banded together to overcome the challenges of the post-Depression era. It’s a timeless story of the resilience of the human spirit.” The 170-plus-page, self-published tome speaks about more than 30 stories of South Philly born-and-bred successes. “I did a little bit of a focus group on my own before I published and got a lot of encouragement. I’ve sold close to 200 books so far — some are friends, some are complete unknowns,” DiLeonardo said. “It’s not so much about the story part, but about the characters in the book. “The story is about a lifestyle and time
of life that was different, but almost similar to what’s happening now. Things were tough and people were out of work, almost like what we are going through right now. It’s very timely and everyone likes it. I’m thrilled.” DILEONARDO’S MOTHER, JOSEPHINE, still lives at the family home at 11th-and-Mifflin. She is 95 years old. “I left the area when I got married in 1960, but never really 100 percent left it,” DiLeonardo, a Westchester resident, said. “I’m still there all the time. Well, I have a lot of family in South Philly, family and friends.” DiLeonardo met his wife of 40 years, Skipper, at a school dance. After graduating from Southern, he went to study engineering at Drexel University, but it wasn’t his forte. “I didn’t do too well there, so I transferred to Charles Morris Price, in Center City, Philadelphia. I believe it was at 13th and Locust,” DiLeonardo said. “I studied marketing/advertising there. So that’s how I got in to that end of the business and I’ve been there ever since.” DiLeonardo began working in advertising upon graduation. “My best friend became chairman of
N.W. Ayer, Jerry Siano. We went our different ways. He went and worked in New York for 30 something years. I stayed in Philadelphia,” DiLeonardo said. “Around 1970 and we started a full-service advertising agency.” As the CEO of DSC Advertising, headquartered in Old City, DiLeonardo is still an active participant in the industry. His work on the book, “Super Glue,” was rewarding, but not a probable career path. “I loved writing and it’s something I was passionate about, but I don’t know if I could write another book. This book was a labor of love,” DiLeonardo said. The writing process included the informal discussions with friends over South Philly grub, but moved into a more formal line of questioning. “I started to write the book just from conversations at the luncheons because I was fascinated with what some of these people accomplished,” DiLeonardo said. “And I started to do telephone interviews to get the full stories.” His discovery process reaffirmed old bonds and brought about a larger sense of community the author hadn’t expected. “In the process of doing my telephone interviews and personal interviews, we actually went way back to just about kin-
dergarten,” DiLeonardo said. “There were a lot of friends, we were friends from elementary right through high school. That’s an incredible part of the story. In the process of writing the book, we planned an elementary school reunion. “We had our 61st celebration of Francis Reed in November of last year. That was a lot of fun — at a little restaurant in South Philly.” Family and friends have delighted in the retelling of 70 years in the area through multiple storylines that include a high-power attorney, an antique car show organizer and a graphic designer for local papers. Positive feedback also has come from non-residents, like the owner of the Center City Borders bookstore, who ordered a dozen copies of the book on the spot. But the best compliment came from DiLeonardo’s own family circle. “My sister-in-law really made me feel good,” the author said. “She said reading this book is like having a conversation with a friend. You want to read it real slow and you don’t want it to end.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

Luncheons with classmates a half-century after graduating high school led one South Philly-born businessman to capture locals stories in a memoir. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
J
oseph DiLeonardo is still friends with his best friend from kindergarten. He also is friends with 30 or so others with whom he went to South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. “We scheduled to meet on a regular, once-a-month basis,” DiLeonardo, 71, said of his classmates. “Having these luncheons, I realized how successful this group of people were. We were post-Depression babies and because of that we had a small class. Only 120 students graduated from Southern.” The 1954 graduate from 11th and Mifflin streets was used to meeting with his various classmates and hearing how these “captains of industry” were excelling in their respective fields. The uplifting stories moved the advertising executive to put pen to paper. “It’s an inspirational memoir,” DiLeonardo said of the book he penned over the last year about his constituents’ post-high school lives entitled, “Super Glue.” “We had a number of class reunions. The first class reunion wasn’t for maybe 30 years — it was like we “Super Glue: Bonding for Life,” written by advertising executive Joseph DiLeonardo, above, is filled with great memories of the neighborhood and photos of the old gang from his school days.
