n 1911, the RMS Titanic had yet to make its lone, disastrous voyage; much of Europe, the United States and Japan were three years away from waging World War I; and the world welcomed numerous notable figures, including cartoonist Joseph Barbera, actress Lucille Ball and playwright Tennessee Williams. Philomena Decusatis joined the tiny population of Shenandoah, a town in Schuylkill County, Nov. 30 of that year. To mark her 100th birthday and to celebrate her 71 years of marriage to John Romeo, 67 friends and relatives gathered See ROMEO page 14

What do you think was the biggest news story of 2011? “Occupy Philly, I’m always in Center City and it’s taking up a lot of time.� Elizabeth Bartholetti, Second and Porter streets
“The economy — how it’s hard for people to get jobs.� Joan Schwartz, 20th Street and Snyder Avenue

Outraged about Judging the Fancies T the system To the Editor: Dr. Arlene Ackerman, the former superintendent for the School District of Philadelphia, received a $905,000 payout. She left the district with a $629-million deficit. Now she has filed for unemployment compensation in the amount of $573 a week. Although she is entitled to the funds, morally she is not. If her application is approved, it will be a travesty of justice for the citizens of Philadelphia. Carlo Gonnella South Philadelphia
“The biggest story of 2011 would be Osama [bin Laden]. They [were] looking for him so long and I think it’s pretty big.� Michael Del Buono, Broad Street and Packer Avenue

the fall, Tolliver said. No other injuries were listed and the damages to each vehicle were not available at press time. The offender was described as white, age 32, 5-foot-10, thin and wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
unfire put bullets through a bus containing 23 passengers, but caused no injuries. 17th District police responded to the 1800 block of Federal Street where gunfire shattered the rear window of an unattended 2003 Acura MDX parked on the 1200 block of South 19th Street and struck a Route 17 SEPTA bus traveling southbound on 19th at 7 p.m. Nov. 29, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The 62-year-old bus driver had dropped off a passenger at Federal and, as he pulled away, heard about three shots fired, Tolliver said. One shot struck the bus’ roof while another hit the glass box that holds the surveillance equipment behind the driver’s seat. Neither the driver nor his 23 passengers were injured. A black Buick Roadmaster was seen quickly leaving the scene, Tolliver said. The motive was unknown at press time, but police do not believe the bus was targeted, Tolliver said. Police recovered ballistics evidence from the scene and on the bus, but did not have any suspects as of press time. To report information, call South Detectives’ tip line at 215-685-1635 or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

One of them pointed a black handgun at him and demanded dough, so the man handed over $197. The pair fled eastbound on Passyunk. The gunman was described as black with a dark complexion, 5-foot-6 and thin; having gray and black hair; and wearing a dark-colored jacket while the other offender was described as black with a light complexion, 5-foot-10 and thin; having a thin mustache; and wearing a blue jacket and blue jeans.

This is the second in a three-part series previewing the Jan. 1 Fancy Brigade Finale Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Review Special Contributor
T
he Fancy Brigades, one of the five divisions that march up South Broad Street in the Philadelphia Mummers Parade, puts on massive shows each year: Jarringly different from that of their counter parts in the String Band division. While String Band shows rely heavily on music and showmanship, a brigade show focuses on beautiful, mummerized costumes; large, extravagant props; and heart-pounding, synchronized, yet raucous drills that never stop moving. These are all brought together under an often complex, yet cohesive theme. Fancy Brigade shows had grown so large in size and scope that an alternative to Broad Street was sought. Broad Street has been the home to the Mummers Parade since its “organized” inception in 1901. While not as important, the feeling of marching up Broad can only be equated to a soldier parading through ticker tape when returning from war. From that turn of the century until the Fancy Brigades’ infancy in the ’50s, people lined Broad, decked out in their finest attire, braving bitter, icy-cold weather, to view the beautiful costumes adorning the oncoming Mummers. During that time, costumes were presented and members paraded, doing the Mummers strut to entertain the throngs lining the jampacked sidewalks. The costumes were so extravagant that some captains had block-long capes, measuring 500 feet, carried by page boys on both sides to hold up its entire length. With the advent of television, the public demand for bigger and better entertainment forced the Fancy Brigades to rethink its approach. A typical brigade then began to perform shows organized under specific themes that presented an idea brought to life through the art of music and dance. With each passing year, the pioneering Fancy Brigades outdid themselves, oneupping the competition to put on the best show possible: Setting the standard for today’s, over-the-top, unequaled extreme style and structure. By the end of the ’90s though, a brigade show had seemingly outgrown Broad Street and was in need of a change. As the attention span of the MTV generation grew shorter, it became apparent that the already explosive brigade shows had to go to an even greater level. But pushing the ever-growing props up the almost fourmile-long route had become a chore and caused large gaps in the lineup. Moving the

budget-friendly festival for the City. The changes to an indoor show and to shorten the parade’s length saves the City by decreasing money spent on police, fire and sanitation overtime. Also, with the parade ending earlier, it allows spectators to follow the fun to Second Street or by going to a local restaurant or bar to continue their party.
The annual Fancy Brigade Finale Show continues its growth as an eye-opening New Year’s Day spectacle. year, the Fancy Brigades celebrated its 15th anniversary as an indoor attraction. The brigades still perform on Broad Street, but the difference is, the brisk pace of the streamlined clubs, minus the bulky floats, makes for a smoother trek. Each brigade typically adapts their indoor show into a “street show” for the waiting crowds on Broad. The result is satisfied crowds that no longer have to endure that cold weather, for long periods with gaps that are blocks long. The day ends with each brigade, returning to the Convention Center to perform their intact shows for the judges and an arena full of even more excited fans. The decision to move indoors had many thinking it would forever alter the Mummers Parade. But, to the contrary, it has made the annual event into a greater asset, as not only a Philadelphia treasure, but a
As it was at its start 15 years ago, the scale of each show changes annually, as have the brigades’ use of its own creativity to generate monies for the expanding shows. Each year, a Fancy Brigade show ranges from $80,000 to $150,000. The brigades can no longer count on prize money to put toward the next year’s show, so each club develops its own means to generate cash. Whether it’s beef and beers, raffle tickets or performing around the country, each is a way to not only raise money, but to also bring greater awareness to the Fancy Brigades, the Mummers and Philly. The brigades have also collectively organized their resources to raise money. Ticket sales, as well as selling sponsorships and executive boxes for the yearly Fancy Brigade Finale are new ways to adapt in our declining economy. Another great change the brigades have made is to make group
purchases. Clubs band together and buy materials for the upcoming shows as one entity. It’s an option that not only saves a great deal of money but, is a great way to help the local community. Most of the money spent each year on a Fancy Brigade show is spent locally. Buying wood for floats at local stores as well as materials for costumes and props generates close to $1 million annually. On top of that, patronizing local costumers, choreographers, designers, painters and builders helps to keep communities healthy. The biggest Fancy Brigade change probably has come in the form of camaraderie. While the brigades perform in a competition each year, they’ve also learned to rely on one another for support. Being together the last week of the year to work alongside each other enables everyone to share the resources needed to complete the show and to compete. Never forgetting the distant memories of the Fancy Brigades’ founding fathers and their guiding steps has opened the door to a greater success than imagined. With its family values, nurturing friendships and accepting the necessary change to forge ahead, there’s no telling what the future holds for the Fancy Brigades. But I’m sure it’s going to be one hell of a fun ride. SPR Visit fancybrigade.com. Purchase tickets for the Fancy Brigade Finale at ComcastTix.com. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services representative Tony Bryson, left, distributed a certificate of citizenship to Nour Sardab, the eighth member of her family, including her mother Angi, to become a U.S. citizen. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
CITIZENSHIP continued from page 1 children’s integration, as the entire group received certificates of citizenship. “I was shocked to hear this would be my daughter’s big day,” Angi Sardab said of receiving a call from the federal agency two weeks ago, as she had expected a long process to have Nour become her clan’s eighth naturalized member. The Upper Darby dweller hails from Khartoum, the capital city of North Africa’s Sudan. She came to the United States in 2000 and became a citizen in ’09. Sardab bore Nour in her homeland yet wanted to sustain her Delaware County life. She has been able to, but logistics kept her daughter from acquiring health insurance for more than a year and decreased her desire to apply for a green card for her cherub. “So based on those circumstances,” the mother said as her father, Elamin, played with Nour, “I could not believe it until now.” Settlement’s Presser Hall removed all doubt as Sardab and her relatives occupied front-row seats. The youngest participant, Nour peered at her peers, four of Indian descent, two of Chinese ancestry and solo members of the Canadian, Ecuadorian and Vietnamese lineages. Horsham’s College Settlement House, formerly 425-35 Christian St., opened in 1889 to assist Queen Village’s AfricanAmerican, Italian and Russian Jewish populations and created Settlement as its music program in 1908. Six years later, it became a community school of the arts, with the Curtis building’s services beginning in ’17. Its history of aiding immigrants landed Settlement the hosting duties. Its most recent director, Eric Anderson, current head of the Germantown branch,
addressed the site’s role in symbolizing Philadelphia’s ethnic diversity and encouraged the gathering to mark the past while enjoying the present and designing the future. “Always remember to keep the songs of your birthplace alive in your heart as you learn to sing the songs of your new home,” he said to the children. Anderson noted the Curtis branch never held a similar ceremony during his tenure there and could not confirm if the entire system has overseen such an occasion. The federal agency contacted him last autumn and intended to have an April event. Scheduling issues postponed Settlement’s reward for immigrant-friendly annals, yet great news came to Anderson et al early this fall. “We are thrilled to welcome the children,” Anderson said. He and the invitees greeted Tony Bryson, the Immigration Services’ Philadelphia District 5 director, who administered the Oath of Allegiance. “This is going to have many big words in it, so just say ‘Yes’ when I am finished,” the representative said to laughter. After issuing congratulatory remarks, he played an audio message from President Barack Obama. The children then enjoyed a chance to demonstrate their knowledge of their country by singing “The StarSpangled Banner.” Some knew the tune, which Settlement’s Manager of Executive Affairs Kristen Halkes-Kratz played on a piano, while others consulted their programs. Their volume increased when the Pledge of Allegiance followed, and the distribution of certificates officialized the festivities and inspired rounds of cheers. “I am still surprised,” Sardab said as eager taste buds led Nour to chew on two
News small American flags. Sardab expects her husband Ahmed to become a citizen by March, so Nour soon will have more reasons to smile and munch. “We are excited for next year, too,” Sardab said. A HOT-BUTTON GLOBAL topic, adoption often involves terrific tales and sad stories. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ August 2010 report, 419,752 domestic adoptions of children with public child welfare agency involvement occurred from ’02 to ’09, an annual average of 52,469. For Fiscal Year 2010, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Immigration Statistics noted U.S. citizens made 11,100 immigrant adoptions. The statistics mingle with a sobering figure — 107,000 — the children who, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway, are in the nation’s foster care system. Desiring children to call their own, Mary and John Hatfield of Lansdowne have gone the international route to find their brood. They adopted Philip Nguyen from Vietnam’s Bac Giang province in ’04, situating the 14-month-old more than 8,000 miles away from his birthplace and giving him plenty of love and support. “We immediately desired naturalization for Philip,” Mary Hatfield said. Ecstatic to have added their son, the Hat-
fields in ’06 gave him a sister by adopting Lucy Lan from the nearby Bac Ninh province. Also looking to plan Lucy’s naturalization, the happy parents learned two weeks ago they had to firm up plans to honor Philip, as the agency’s drawing chose him as a Settlement attendee. “We are just so proud and excited,” the matriarch said. Its namesake was the wife of author and editor Edward W. Bok, a Dutch immigrant whose legacy lives on through an eponymously named high school at 1901 S. Ninth St. “I’m proud to become a citizen,” the boy, a studious fourth-grader at Drexel Hill’s St. Andrew School, who confidently recited the Pledge of Allegiance, said. Having served more than 300,000 students in its 103 years, Settlement is hoping to recruit the children to its branches. If not successful, it can boast of being a memorable spot for last week’s attendees, especially the Hatfields. “We are hoping to have a big celebration when his dad comes back,” Mary Hatfield said of her spouse, an Eagles’ employee who traveled with the Birds for their Dec. 1 game in Seattle. “Today, we’ll see what happens.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ROMEO continued from page 1 last week at Mamma Maria Ristorante Italiano, 1637 E. Passyunk Ave., for a robust dinner party. “Very nervous,” the centenarian, who arrived 30 minutes into the dual commemoration, said of her feelings on being the night’s star. Aromas and affection filled the establishment as attendees anticipated the entry by the resident of the 1600 block of South Jessup Street and her devoted spouse. The brainchild of grandsons g John and Michael Romeo, the evening reunited Philomena Romeo with kin shee had not seen in decades, including broth-er Attilio Decusatis, who traveled from m Campagnia, Italy. “We are so excited to be able to honor myy ograndmother,” Michael Romeo, of Glendora, N.J., said. “Her story amazes me.” One of 16 grandchildren, Michael Ro-meo regaled the throng with tales of thee rbeloved century-reacher as plates of gartbanzo beans, grilled eggplant and roasty ed peppers pleased palates. Like many d southern Europeans, her parents moved to Shenandoah early last century. Shortlyy after their daughter’s birth, they returnedd ir to the Cilento region of Campagnia, their n. homeland’s second most populous region. lA fragile economy and the threat of hostileity, the latter which would become a reality with World War II’s onset two years later, necessitated relocating to the United States in ’37. Three years into her second American experience, the grande dame encountered John Romeo at a party. He fell for her immediately yet faced one troubling barrier — her engagement to another pursuer. “My grandfather worked his charm, and soon that other guy was out of there,” Michael Romeo said. “He told us he proposed within a week,” grandson John Romeo, of Moorestown, N.J., added as his namesake escorted his glowing lady to the upper dining area. John and Philomena wed Sept. 1, ’40, and resided in Willow Grove for a spell. South Philly became their haunt five years later, and they have enjoyed wedded bliss each day of their local existence by acknowledging the perpetual power of communication. “We have had a good life,” Philomena Romeo said of their union, which produced five children and has bore countless memories. “We have talked with each other about everything and have respected each other.” Her mate, looking dapper at 94, agreed. “Our secret is love,” he said of remaining vibrant and passionate about life.
Seventy-one of Philomena Romeo’s 100 years have included the love of husband John Romeo. Like all Italians, the two appreciated last week’s chance to enjoy great food and conversation. South Philadelphia has been the location of their impressive union for 66 years. S ta f f P h o t o s b y G r e g B e z a n i s
Since joining the East Passyunk Crosssing community, the Romeos have attended Mass at St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, 1718 S. Ninth St. For Valentine’s Day, the site always lauds its married couples, giving special praise to those that have obtained enviable longevity. Nobody, Rev. Nick Martorano, the pastor at the 99-yearold location, said, has been able to match or surpass the Romeos. Before the excited guests enjoyed the primary portions of Maria di Marco’s cuisine, the religious figure gave a blessing. “Heavenly Father, we thank you for giving us this time to recognize Philomena,” he said. “We ask you to continue to bless her with the comfort of her family and friends and with continued health.” He also read a commendation from Pope Benedict XVI and offered congratulations
when a family member uttered praise from a plaque from President Barack Obama, the 18th president to serve during Philomena Romeo’s lifetime. Just to the right of a collage of his mother’s photos, Paul Romeo toasted his creators. “I remember when they celebrated their 50th anniversary,” the proud son and Deptford, N.J., resident said, “I wished for Mom to reach 100 years. I never would have imagined we would be so fortunate. Cent’anni!” DURING HER ABUNDANT life, Philomena Romeo has accumulated many fond recollections, but the past did not concern her last week, as she concentrated on being grateful for a joyous evening. She confessed that she appreciated holding an irreplace-
aable spot in everyone’s heart. “I feel proud,” she said of mattering so much to so many. m Hanging on her every word, her husband bbeamed as she discussed their 71 years of marriage. m “We make a good pair,” he said, giving hhimself a chuckle. Antipasto, minestrone and a trio of ppasta choices kick-started the main eatiing, with laughter teaming with wine to make an enlightening duo. Four entrée m cchoices tempted the taste buds of the gguests, with Philomena Romeo opting for vveal. Though the United States has been hher abode for 74 years, her original home nnever strays from her thoughts. A plaque ffrom the head of Cilento joined the other gifts, g including dozens of congratulatory cards, on a table. The reminder of her native country’s affinity for her lengthy life touched her, as did having overdue reunions with certain figures. Attilio Decusatis had not seen his sister since ’79. The thrilled sibling eagerly made up for lost time by sitting beside her, with smiles that made apparent his satisfaction. “This is a momentous occasion,” he said through an interpreter. “We have memories to r relive, and I know she will enjoy d doing so because her mind is so s sharp. I never would have imagi ined I would have this chance.” In solid health, his darling relati may have many more chances tive to experience life among her gratefu gang. Philomena Romeo shows ful no signs of slowing, fully intent on ke keeping active the mind her brother es esteems. T The night concluded with two cak including an Italian rum cake, cakes, wh Michael Romeo said has long which bee a family staple. Though the been eve evening honored one generation of the clan, it also allowed another to be reflective. “I love her pasta,” 9-year-old Adriana Bartolomeo, one of Philomena Romeo’s five great grandchildren, said. “Her soup is great, too.” The girl often sees her grandmother during the Christmas season, so her taste buds will not go unaddressed. Brothers Christian, 10, and Dominic Romeo, 13, interact with Philomena Romeo five times a year, enough to give each a great impression of her. “Great grandmom is very nice,” Christian said. “We have one wish for her,” Dominic added. “More birthdays.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Rewriting history A Point Breeze teen helped his school to turn racially-charged events into a moving multimedia performance. By Jess Fuerst
Review Contributor
I
n 2009, South Philadelphia High School was making headlines. But, in that year, the stories were not very flattering. The educational facility, 2101 S. Broad St., was in the midst of racial controversy, where violence was erupting among students. Last year, current students decided to take that ignorance and turn it into art. “We didn’t just start writing stuff. We were given a paper with questions about ourself and our school. We were filling out questions and they turned it into a piece, a master work,” Lamar Winstead, of 23rd and Reed streets, said. He is one of about 24 students from South Philly High who wrote, directed and produced “We Write South Philly High.” The collaboration of the school, Philadelphia Young Playwrights, South Philadelphia High School Alumni Association, Asian Arts Initiative, The Wilma Theater and 1812 Productions resulted in a multimedia show responding to the events that unfolded at the school two years ago and its process of mov-
Lifestyles ing forward to repair its image. “They asked me questions like ‘What was your experience at the school?,’ ‘Were you there when the incident happened?’, about the [Asian-American students], ‘Did you like the school throughout the years you have been in it?’” Winstead said of the production process. The initial collection of stories from students and school officials about the ’09 incident, which was believed to be between Asian-American and African-American students, began in ’10, but Winstead was not on board from the beginning. “The acting groups that came to school always came to our last period class. At first I didn’t want to be in it, but they kept digging me, asking me if I wanted to be in it,” Winstead, 17, said. “They didn’t know if I act or not, they just kept asking me.” Winstead decided he’d give it a go and set to work with the project coordinators bringing together the multi-faceted story. “I started reading the pieces out loud and [they taught us] how to show feeling through body language and how loud you speak and stuff,” he said. “The first performance, I was, I actually was really nervous. A lot people didn’t come like they did now. The first performance was in like June and the people who came to the Wilma Theater were mostly family.”
The June 7 premiere was well-received, which gave rise to the recent four-day run of additional performances. In addition, since the premiere, South Philly High Principal Otis D. Hackney III, along with the participating theaters, received a Barrymore Award for theater education for the project that involved more than 50 students over three semesters. For Winstead, his performance received high marks as well. “[My mother] didn’t know I was doing the acting stuff. I never acted before, she hadn’t asked me to do anything, act a scene or nothing. So she was actually shocked. She said ‘I did not know Lamar could act like that,’” Winstead said. “When I got on stage, it was easy for me. It’s really fun now.” BEFORE HE CAME to Southern, Winstead went to Norris S. Barratt School, formerly at 1599 Wharton St. When the ’09 incidents occurred at Southern, he was a freshman. “I wasn’t at school then,” he said about the day of the incident. However, he remembers the tension at the school during that time. “It was crazy. Because, I don’t know, people, people didn’t really get along. I don’t why or what for — I don’t got nothing to do with that,” Winstead said. “It was cool for
me. I was getting along with people.” Winstead, along with many other students, steered clear of the violence. School officials met the problem head on and began making changes. “It’s a big improvement,” Winstead said of the school’s current climate. “They installed more cameras, [added] more police, stuff like that.” “We Write South Philly” is one of the latest attempts to bring good out of what was a trying time for the school community. “Principal Otis Hackney is due lots of props, I believe, for inviting the three organizations in,” the Playwrights’ Executive Producing Director Glenn Knapp said of the teamwork that began between the school and 1812 and expanded to three more arts-based groups, “not only to help with conversation and healing around the issues of violence, but also out of a true belief that his students would benefit from a deepened drama program, with student voices at the center,” Specifically for Winstead, the collaboration has been an experience in discovering the identity of his school as well as his own. “Since I’ve been in this, I think I want to pick up theater. This is fun to me,” Winstead, who also plays basketball and football, said. “The hardest part was the speech — how do you speak loud and make sure

to keep the energy up?” Audiences have been intrigued by the production and have been packing the Wilma for the second limited run. The spirit of the young actors continually wows even those closest to the project. “I just thought it was really incredible,” Sameer Rao, the Playwrights’ marketing and communications coordinator, said of the play he saw for the first time in its entirety last week. “To see this producing, the complexity of it, the various issues it tackled … having a group of students celebrate the school’s rich history, the rich diversity that the school embodies and really say what they wanted to about the school without it being adults saying it or government figures saying it. To have their voices put out there … it’s really fantastic. Winstead is impressed as well. And perhaps even more so with unearthing talents he never knew he had. “[My friends] reacted just like my mom. They said, ‘We didn’t know you had it in you to act like that, Mars, you’re a natural,” Winstead said. “[There is] a video [of the performance]. I’ve actually seen it. It’s of the first one, not this one. I was like, that’s decent, my acting.” SPR

The pollyanna
T
his is the time of the year when folks hold a pollyanna in offices everywhere. A pollyanna is a way of ensuring that you don’t have to buy a gift for everyone. Most of us don’t buy a gift for everyone anyway, but that’s another story for another slow news day. In the typical pollyanna, everyone writes their name on a piece of paper. The names are placed in a hat, Crock-Pot or a bowl made out of Waterford crystal (the container that is used depends on whether the workplace in question is a welfare office, a cafeteria or a multi-national corporation). Each person draws a name (other than their own) and buys a gift for that person. A price limit is placed on the purchase. This ingenious system guarantees even if everyone dislikes a person, that person will get a gift. To better understand this concept, let’s use some of the current Republican presidential nominees as an example. Under the pollyanna concept, even Rick Santorum would get a gift though he is running at 1 percent in the polls (if you round off from six decimal places). Herman Cain would qualify for only one gift-— be it from his wife or mistress. There is a rumor that the Three Wise Men were in their own pollyanna. Contrary to popular belief, only one of them had picked the name of the babe in the manger out of an ancient cereal bowl. The other two Wise Men selected each other. None of them were willing to admit who it was that had selected the infant in Bethlehem, so all three of them brought a gift (the gift being a year’s supply of swaddling clothes). The Star of Bethlehem was actually the forerunner of today’s GPS. The truth is no one likes pollyannas. Most of us have trouble enough shopping for family and friends on our list, let alone the dork in the next cubicle. One of the problems is that the price limitation in pollyannas has not kept up with the times. Most pollyannas have a price limit of $25 or 17 shekels to keep the biblical theme. Because of inflation, $25 doesn’t buy much these days. This fact has placed greater pressure on shoppers. A survey recently taken by The New York Times found that the most popular pollyanna gifts purchased for $25 are a gift certifi-
cate to IHOP (tip not included — neither are the special pancakes), a cake of Shea butter soap (the Shea butter has been replaced with margarine), two three-packs of undershorts at Macy’s (cotton-polyester blend), and a hardback book at Barnes and Noble (sale bin). A warning about the books in the sale bin: The selection is limited to “The Baltimore Harbor: Is There Anything Else To Do Besides Visit the Aquarium?”; “The Conspiracy to Discredit Andy Reid”; “Recipes for People Who Love Gluten”; and “The Kim Kardashian Wedding Pictures.” The easy answer would have been to raise the limit on the pollyanna. I made such a suggestion to the members of my wife’s sorority and was set upon by my angry female friends and tossed out of a speeding car in the dead of night somewhere in South Jersey. To be candid, I am even frightened of South Jersey in the middle of the afternoon because I get lost easily trying to use fast food restaurants to guide my way home. Finally, someone came up with a solution to the dilemma of the modern day pollyanna. In addition to placing their name on a slip of paper, participants have to list three specific items they wish to receive within the agreed upon price limitations. In this way, the onus shifted from the giver to the recipient. The recipient has to try and figure out what it is they want for $25. Inasmuch as recipients also are givers, in effect, this solution solved nothing. But it created the illusion of a solution, kind of like what is supposed to happen now that the Super Committee has failed to come up with way to trim our budget deficit or the way Newt Gingrich has created the illusion that he is a man of ideas. I’m not crazy about being in this new version of the pollyanna. Recipients get too specific. I am in one this season where my pollyanna has listed three suggestions: 1. A 1/4-pound of Iberian ham (it costs $100 a pound hence the request for a quarter pound) that must be purchased from Garces Trading Co. Be sure to check if the pigs were fed black acorns; 2. Real Cuban cigars. (Note: Doesn’t this require me to deal with the black market?); 3. The Justin Bieber CD “Under The Mistletoe.” On this last choice, I refuse to be an accessory to a crime against music, which is what I consider the Bieb’s rendition of “Little Drummer Boy.” Maybe the pollyanna has outlived its usefulness.

The shame about ‘Shame’
Sissy (Carey Mulligan), left, interrupts the carefree lifestyle of her brother, Brandon (Michael Fassbender) when she needs to crash at his New York City pad.
R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
M
ichael Fassbender may just give the best male performance of the year in “Shame,” a racy sex-addiction drama from British filmmaker Steve McQueen, who previously directed Fassbender in the 2008 masterpiece “Hunger.” “Shame” sees Fassbender play Brandon, a wealthy New Yorker with a nondescript corporate job whose carnal desires dominate and devastate his life. Finding meaningless partners seems a nightly ritual, workdays are broken up by bathroom masturbation sessions, and porn is so abundant that Brandon’s computer is crashing while his closet teems with smut mags. To this hollow man, Fassbender brings a stunning new dimension of his signature intensity, and a sinking degradation that’s eventually wrenching to watch. “Shame” is first and foremost a feast of fine acting, with Fassbender nearly matched by Carey Mulligan, who also reveals new layers as Sissy, Brandon’s tumbleweed of a sister who throws off her brother’s soul-eating mojo when she shows up at his doorstep with nowhere else to crash. Together, these two hint at a mysteriously destructive youth that’s made both of them seriously disturbed adults, and the actors’ rapport offers just enough intel to keep you filling in the haunting gaps. Unfortunately, that’s about where the interest of “Shame” ends. “Hunger” not only announced Fassbender as a formidable acting force, it also introduced McQueen as a thrilling new talent, with enough visual flair and professional promise to sate any art-house buff. That the promise is not kept with “Shame” is one of 2011’s biggest disappointments. While he succeeds at presenting New York as a tough city of appetites, McQueen takes a drastically superficial ap-
proach, allowing the skin-deep nature of his antihero to infect his filmmaking. For a movie so ostensibly uncompromising (its graphic sex and full-frontal shots netted it an NC-17 rating), “Shame” shows compromise at every other turn, holding your hand throughout Brandon’s banal escapades, hardly living up to the aesthetic brilliance that “Hunger” displayed, and blowing the opportunity to be the definitive sex-addiction drama. This is no coital “Lost Weekend”; it’s a lost opportunity.

Recommended Rental Rise of the Planet of the Apes PG-13 Available Tuesday Modern special effects don’t get much better than those in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” the blockbuster prequel to everyone’s favorite primate sci-fi saga. The effects wizards at Weta Digital and character actor Andy Serkis — who plays ape revolutionary Caesar — bring motion-capture technology to the next level, finally offering a CG creation that outshines the fleshand-blood actors. The meat of the story, unfortunately, is lean when it should be thick (real-world commentary is meager at best), but that’s no reason to miss out on this well-staged spectacle.

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

Birra By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r
I
t is unusual to spend a nearly flawless evening in a restaurant, whether it be a neighborhood place or an upscale eatery. But Edward, Sandy and I enjoyed this unique experience at Birra, a trattoria-pizzeria that recently opened on East Passyunk Avenue. It was a positive experience all around. Ingredients are immaculately fresh, service is the best you can get, prices are moderate and portions are large enough to share. Birra’s congenial host advised a 30- to 40-minute wait for a table, so we opted for three comfortable chairs at the bar. There are hooks under the bar for bags and purses, which is a nice plus. Several televisions were tuned to football. I cheered for the Green Bay Packers as I sipped a perfect Rob Roy ($10.50), that the bartender, Greg, expertly mixed while Sandy enjoyed a glass of Malbec ($9) served in a small carafe that Sandy poured into a tumbler, as the Italians do. Edward ordered a martini ($9) and struck up a conversation with a man who insisted we order the mushroom salad ($12). All of the dishes were large enough to share. The mushroom salad was prepared with baby greens, spicy arugula and baby spinach topped with a mélange of heady wild mushrooms including shiitake and the rarely-seen enoki, which added flavor and texture to the dish. The ingredients were tossed in a flavorful vinaigrette. Regular readers know my sister Sandy is more than picky. She is not a true foodie and feels uncomfortable in new restaurants Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

because she has little sense of adventure and always plays it safe. I confess the Caesar salad ($7) was about as good as it gets. The romaine was cool and crisp topped with a light and homemade dressing like I prepare at home. The homemade croutons were cheesy and buttery and I loved the addition of a large frico which placed the salad over the top. A frico is nothing more than grated Parmesan which is fried in oil and looks like a lacy cookie. “I don’t like it,” Sandy said. “Good. More for me,” I said. Both salads arrived with baked homemade dough triangles. Edward and I always look forward to a hot vegetable as an antipasto. You must order the roasted asparagus ($10) because if you don’t, you are missing out on a dish that’s vibrant, fresh and tasty. Six thick jumbo asparagus were roasted with salt, pepper and freshly minced herbs and topped with a fried egg, which, when broken, released a heavenly flavor. Sandy likes asparagus, but the egg was off-putting. Her excuse: “I had asparagus the other night.” Next up was a big bowl of steamed mussels ($11) that were squeaky clean and bathed in a tomato broth — enhanced by small, red, slightly hot chili peppers — that was so outrageous, I asked Greg to pack me the broth to go so I could use it as a base for mussels and clams for the next night’s dinner. Two generous chunks of warm French bread, fresh from the French bakery across the street from Birra, made

the sauce more seductive as I happily dipped away. Don’t miss the pizza here. There is a pie or two for everyone. Knowing my sister as I do, my eye immediately went to the putanesca pizza ($13) because she adores anchovies. Think of the ingredients used in this classic sauce that the ladies of the evening in Italy lovingly prepared and your mouth will begin to water. White anchovies, capers, black olives, fresh tomato sauce and cheese were blended on homemade dough and baked until crisp. I prefer a thin crisp dough. Birra does not disappoint. The white pizzas are unusual at Birra. I had to nix the porchetta because Sandy will not eat pork but goes for bacon on anything. Greg recommended the duck confit pie ($18) and I was so glad he did. Chunks of juicy, boneless duck, which spent some time in its own fat, were placed on the pie along with caramelized onions

and cheese. With this in life, nothing, and I mean nothing, is bad. “What’s this?” Sandy asked as she began to remove the duck from her slice. I begged her to try it, but she wouldn’t. “Good. More for me.” Six slices, which I crisped in the oven for lunch, were packed to go. I could eat at Birra once a week. I am not kidding. I want to try everything on the menu. I wish they would open a second location in Center City. Three tips of the toque to Birra. SPR

Many at-home chefs have downsized their cookbook collections into tablets. Whether using a tome or digital version, these recipes are bbound ound to to come come oout ut tasty tasty. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
I
n some ways, I’m an old-fashioned girl. I like to cook from books, not from NOOKs. My mise-en-place is ready, the music is on, I’m sipping a cup of coffee or tea and a cookbook is nestled in my ancient acrylic holder on my Italian granite countertop. There are dozens of new tomes for the giving this year. I’ve already written about “Lidia’s Italy in America” by Lidia Bastianich; “Dolci: Italy’s Sweets” by Francine Segan; and two easy-to-cook-from books based on ingredients you find at Trader Joe’s. I also recommend "The Rosie’s Bakery All-Butter Cream-Filled, Sugar-Packed No-Holds-Barred Baking Book” by Judy Rosenberg and “The Mozza Cookbook” by Nancy Silverton. Until I leafed through "Rosie’s," I never had heard of Judy. She owns a number of successful bakeries in the Boston area. Rosenberg has a wicked sense of humor and her recipes work. It is a fine book for beginners. In her introduction Rosenberg wrote: “Can’t say for sure that I came out of the womb on a diet, but it certainly wasn’t long afterward that I was put on one. As far back as I can remember, it was a family ritual to climb on the scale each morning; first my father, who was blessed with
a metabolism that burned up everything that he ate; then my mother, who had the will power to stay thin; and finally, me, their chubby child. No one would have guessed then that I’d end up a baker, least of all me.” I met Silverton more than 20 years ago during a Book and the Cook event at the Barclay Hotel. We immediately clicked. Although her first love is baking, Silverton is also an accomplished chef who has spent much time throughout Italy. Mozza is her Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Los Angeles. She has also been a judge on several episodes of “Top Chef.” “The Mozza Cookbook” is a detailed book for experienced cooks who love Italian food and want to discover more about the cuisines of Italy’s diverse regions.
■ Chocolate Bread Pudding ■ from "The Rosie’s Bakery All-Butter Cream-Filled, Sugar-Packed No-Holds-Barred Baking Book" by Judy Rosenberg. Ingredients:
1-3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of heavy cream 1-1/2 cups of milk 6 tablespoons of sugar 1-1/2 cups (9 ounces) of semisweet chocolate chips 1/8 teaspoon of salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten with a fork 3 cups of cubed (1-inch) challah Vegetable oil or butter for greasing the dish
Directions: Place the cream, milk, sugar, chocolate chips and salt in a medium-size saucepan and heat over low, whisking occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted and all of the specks are gone, for about three minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Vigorously whisk in the eggs. Place the cut-up bread in a large bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over it. Toss with a large wooden spoon to evenly soak. Refrigerate the mixture for about two hours, tossing the mixture occasionally with the spoon to make sure all of the cubes are fully soaked. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a 6- or 8-cup soufflé dish with the oil or butter. Scoop the pudding into the prepared dish. Bake on the center rack until the top is crisp, for about 40 minutes. Lay a piece of aluminum foil loosely over the surface of the pudding and bake until the pudding is set and a tester inserted close to but not in the center comes out clean, for about 30 minutes more. Let cool slightly before serving. Serves eight to 10. Note from Phyllis: I am baking this dessert for the family’s Hanukkah party.
■ Homemade Ricotta ■ from "The Mozza Cookbook" by Nancy Silverton. Ingredients:
4 cups of whole milk 1 cup of heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed, strained lemon juice 1-1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt
Directions: Without stirring, pour all of the ingredients into a small heavy-bottomed stainless steel saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and set the saucepan aside until the mixture cools slightly, for about five minutes. You’ll see the ricotta separating into curds. Line a strainer or colander with cheesecloth and place it in the sink. Scoop the curds out of the saucepan (don’t pour, as you don’t want to break up the curds) and into the strainer to drain. You can use the ricotta while it’s still warm, or tie the cheesecloth onto the handle of a long wooden spoon. Place the spoon over a bowl or saucepan so the bundle is hanging over the bowl, and place it in the refrigerator to drain until you are ready to use it, for up to two days. Makes about eight ounces. Note from Phyllis: I have never made cheese before but I intend to do so now. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

Can’t believe it has been 12 years since you left us. Your daughters are doing well. Little Carmen is energetic and smart. Jazzlyn is in her Junior year at the University of Rochester. It won’t be long before she discovers a cure for a disease.
Carmen, words cannot express how much you are missed each and every day. You are forever in our hearts—always in our thoughts. Love Your Family

As we opened our eyes this morning we looked up to heaven above, we whispered
“Happy Birthday to Our Son Joey, And sent you all our love. Lord light 26 beautiful candles and sing Happy Birthday from us. I wonder what your wish will be. Tell Joey that we love him and miss him, and we can’t wait to see his smile, place a kiss upon his cheek, and hold him for a while. Love and miss you Mom and dad

Counting our stars
Three dozen local products are lling college basketball rosters this season. By Joseph Myers
Reed streets is proving evasive to defenders for the Colonial Athletic Association’s George Mason University.

ith seven Catholic League championships in the last 13 campaigns, the boys’ basketball team at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., has become a producer of local legends. The East Passyunk Crossing institution has accommodated college hoops fans, too, as it has sent numerous players to happy campuses. Eight male Saints are contributing to teams this year, with a ninth, shooting guard Mustafaa Jones, sitting out a season following his transfer from the University of Hartford to Fairleigh Dickinson University. Two ladies give Neumann-Goretti even more pride and yield a total that only Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., with 14 products, can top. Guard Antonio “Scoop” Jardine has helped the Big East’s Syracuse University to a typical early season batch of easy wins. Fellow senior guards Earl Pettis and Jamal Wilson are proving potent for their respective Atlantic 10 Conference constituents, La Salle University and the University of Rhode Island. Junior forward Andre “Scooter” Gillette is coveting rebounds for Niagara University, a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) contender. Underclassmen comprise the remaining quartet. Sophomore guard Tony Chennault hopes the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Wake Forest University will thrive. Pettis is receiving assistance from sophomore guard Tyreek Duren, and Rider University sophomore forward Danny Stewart will battle with Gillette in MAAC action. Last season’s league co-MVP, freshman guard Lamin Fulton will look to leave Gillette and Stewart frustrated when pushing the ball for conference foe St. Peter’s University. Six athletes can claim time at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. Senior guard Ramone Moore, whose 17.8-points-per-game average trails only Wilson’s 18 among local figures, leads Temple University’s A-10 march. The other Southern products yearn for glory, with sophomore guard Dion Waiters partnering with Jardine and sophomore guard Shaquille Gaskins hoping to run efficient offensive schemes at New York’s
Senior scorers Stefan Thompson, left, and Gloria Brown are gunning for glory this season. Both leaders are averaging double figures in points, with Brown also hauling in nine rebounds per contest.

Westchester Community College. Freshmen Jamir Hanner, DeShon Minnis and Mark Wilmer are competing for minutes on their respective clubs. Hanner, a massive forward, is looking to make West Virginia’s Marshall University a Conference USA factor, while Minnis is going to be facing the pressure of Big 12 road crowds when Texas Tech University begins its league slate. Wilmer, a forward, is logging quality minutes for Division II’s Mansfield University. With Markieff and Marcus Morris preparing for their NBA rookie years, Princeton University senior Doug Davis becomes the longest tenured Prep Charter product. The guard will strive to have his team reach the Ivy League’s summit. Junior forward Ferg Myrick is seeking to make America East Conference opponents tremble for the University of New Hampshire. Sophomore guard Jesse Morgan will have a chance to check Moore Feb. 29 when he and his University of Massachusetts mates host Temple in conference play. Freshman guard Ameen Tanksley is learning the ropes from Gillette at Niagara.
Averaging double digits in points, senior guard Stefan Thompson is continuing to make the Girard Estate Academic Program, 2136 Ritner St., proud. He is gunning for a third straight winning season at Division III’s Alvernia University. Freshman guard Matt Powers will see if his prolific scoring history at The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., translates to the collegiate level, as he vies for time at Philadelphia University. Three players from teams outside South Philadelphia call the area home. Freshman forward Muhammad Amin, of 30th and Wharton streets, a member of Center City’s Class A state champions Mathematics, Civics and Sciences Charter School, is easing into his budding role at Division II’s Lock Haven University. Teammate Warren Dogan, of 20th and Morris streets, is posting good numbers as a freshman guard for Bryn Mawr’s Harcum Junior College. Three-time Public League and two-time state titlist Eric Copes dominated at West Oak Lane’s Imhotep Institute Charter High School, and the product of 15th and
NEUMANN-GORETTI GRADUATE GLORIA Brown has the University of Texas at El Paso squad undefeated at 7-0, with the senior forward leading in blocks, points and rebounds as Conference USA play looms. Sophomore forward Michaila Hatty rounds out Neumann-Goretti’s set for Maryland’s Washington College, a Division III squad. Prep Charter girls’ coach Paul Rieser had reasons to rejoice Feb. 26 when his ladies captured the Public League championship. He has sent 13 players to college rosters, with five coming from last season’s unit. Tiffany Johnson, the Markward Club’s Public League Player of the Year, leads the 10 standouts who will help this year’s eager bunch of teams. The smooth guard has brought her solid play to Drexel University, a Colonial Athletic Association pest. Fellow freshman guard Bria Young hopes to log significant minutes for the Northeast Conference’s Saint Francis University. Another ferocious freshman guard, Nydeera Lee will redshirt and debut next year for Division II’s Cheyney University. Backcourt baller Yasmine Montgomery is expecting to be a mainstay for Lincoln University, another Division II member. Courtney Edmonds completes the quartet of new guards, as she dresses for Kentucky’s University of the Cumberlands in the Mid-South Conference. Sophomore guard Tyjma Bacon brings spark to Penn State Schuylkill’s young team. Sophomore forward Sydney Mallory is yearning to post more minutes helping Bloomsburg University to win Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference clashes. Fellow second-year forward LaShay Banks is gearing up for high octane bouts with Big East heavyweights at the University of Cincinnati. An energetic sophomore guard, Raven Jones is assisting the cause of Clarion University of Pennsylvania, with junior forward Aleya Miller filling the low post for the Division II school.
