alph Brooks was six years old in 1988 when he was shot and paralyzed for the rest of his life. “Here’s what I think is significant,� Rich Negrin, deputy mayor for administration & coordination, offered Monday afternoon. “The first thing [Ralph] said to his physical therapist was ‘Will I be able to play basketball?’ What we’re do-

ing here for his legacy is to make it available for all of our kids.� Thanks to a great deal of cross-pollination and coordination among organizations, City offices, and individuals like Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin, an ambitious project is coming together. According to a release from the Office of the Mayor, “the project includes funding from Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, the Philadelphia Water Department, the PhillyRising initiative, the Mural Arts Program, the Office of 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, Urban Roots, Connor

Barwin’s ‘Make the World Better Foundation’ and 25th Foundation.� The $450,000 project at the corner of 20th and Tasker streets will be ambitious in scope. The renovations to the Point Breeze corner park include a new play area installed, basketball courts repaved, stormwater management features, a rain garden, an underground strorage trench and a world-class mural care of Mural Arts’ favorite Steve Powers.

To the Editor: As a U.S. army veteran, I am livid! Has our country now turned into frightened little children? The move by Sony to bow down to threats by North Korea not to release the comedy movie “The Interview� is nothing less than cowardly! Sony has grievously disrespected every American soldier who has served, fought and/ or died for this country, as well as other countries’ freedom, rights and peaceful lives! I have a solution. How about our government publicly state that if any American is attacked due to this movie’s release, we will unleash a response that has never been seen in world history? Now I know what some will say: “You will be willing to go to war for a movie.� Damn right! However, it’s more than that. If a person or foreign government wished to attack us, they are going to attack us, movie or no movie. Ever since 9/11, this country has lost its ideals that the forefathers implemented. The federal government now needs to step up and enforce those ideals that made Amer-

ica the envy of the world. Allowing a foreign government to dictate what movies are made and distributed is an unprecedented slap to the face of every citizen, which should never be tolerated! No American should submit to any entity when it is in direct conflict with how we have chosen to live our lives. Why? Because the threats will never end and it will show the world that we are afraid to stand up for ourselves, and will ultimately bend to the will of our enemies. Make no mistake, terrorism will always be a concern. But the desire of the American people to live free should supersede anything anyone could throw at us! Any ideology that deliberately comes in direct conflict with how we live our lives is, to me, an act of war in the abstract. Any ideology that deliberately attacks our nation and its citizens is an act of war and should pay for it tenfold! Perhaps then, we can gain a little bit of respect that the United States once had. 1V`Wa 2]gZS A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

;c[[S`a Q][S POQY To the Editor: I just want to say that I am disappointed that the Mummers do not come through our neighborhood anymore. Marching all the way down Broad Street is a tradition in South Philly. I know that some members of the string band said that there were blocks after Washington Avenue where there were no people on the street, but what about the blocks where there are lots of people standing on the sidelines; like, for example, near the Methodist Hospital? It was always packed over there. I think they should go back to the old way and strut through South Philly. ;Oc`SS\ 4`ObO\b]\W A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

BW[S b] [OYS Wb `WUVb To the Editor: Does anyone care to bet that a particular segment of society will yell and scream quite boisterously about the police wearing body cameras? What? How dare you not being able to see the similar unconstitutionality of the obvious plot to stop and frisk deployment deliberately aimed at that segment and only that segment? Can we ever expect to win or even slow down the rampant commission of

“The matter in Ferguson has had so much fallout, including the murder of two innocent Brooklyn police officers. I think we still need to evaluate so many aspects of what happened in Missouri.� John Seaman, Broad and Porter streets

the horrible crime of our country if these hurdles are constantly and continuously put before us truly hurts them much more than it does us? The paranoia seems to run rampant and is wildly instilled, and I can understand why. All things considered, there has to come a time to relent and understand that some things are just meant for the good of all and not for the destruction of a particular race or group. We either win all together or fail completely by our separate selves. Instead of disagreeing with just about all that is put forth, how about instead contributing ideas to stump and maybe even eliminate crime? May I respectfully request you take a long, hard look at how the Republican Party keeps knocking down every good thing meant for the upgrading of all our lives, country and even the world. They have made President Barack Obama’s tenure a living hell, and don’t intend to stop. I voted for Obama, and if he could run again, I would vote for him. Not because he is black, but simply because he is so valued and appreciated. It is most important that these wasteful showings of defiance stop because it does reflect on our president in such disfavor despite it being no fault of his. Can you see this? We must all show reason right now. When you are right, rejoice, but you can’t always be right! 4`O\Y 1OdOZZO`] A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

tate Attorney General Kathleen Kane announced Dec. 17 that two former PennDOT managers and eight contractors conspired to defraud taxpayers through an overbilling machination. Ex-permit manager William Rosetti allegedly received kickbacks from highway inspectors in exchange for ignoring doctored time sheets and mileage reports, an investigative document revealed. The report adds the 36-year-old also received payment for hours he did not work. Contractor John J. Cavanaugh supposedly added two hours of overtime daily to his timesheet and gave Rosetti as much as $150 each pay period as a “street tax� for him to overlook the 61-year-old’s actions. Joseph DeSimone, 34, and John LaSpada, 40, reportedly paid kickbacks to ex-manager Alexander Morrone to overlook overbilling and rarely visited job locations they claimed they had inspected. DeSimone also allegedly billed for work he did not perform at a construction site that closed due to a state of emergency.

5OdS c^ SdS`gbVW\U A deliveryman ended up robbed in Point Breeze two weeks ago. At 10:10 p.m. Dec. 13, the driver, while attempting to make a delivery on the 2000 block of South Gerritt Street, encountered two unknown males, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first pointed a small silver gun at him and ordered “Give me everything.� His accomplice went through the complainant’s pockets and took a Galaxy Note cell phone, car keys and approximately $215. He went on to rummage through the delivery vehicle but failed to take anything before returning the keys to the victim, who left the area after the first offender threatened to shoot him if he did not immediately depart, Tolliver said. The complainant described the primary aggressor as black, 5-foot-11 to 6-foot-1, 180 pounds and 18 to 23 years old; having an athletic build and a dark complexion; wearing a black bandana over his face, black pants and a black hoodie; and armed with the aforementioned gun; and the second as black, 6-foot-2, 175 to 180 pounds and 18 to 23 years old; having a thin build, short black hair and stubble; and wearing a black hoodie and black pants.

A businessman with South of South ties will spend 26 months in jail for involvement in a fraud scheme. On Monday, Joseph N. Reilly, whose eponymous real estate entity once included a location at 1725 South St., received his sentence for diverting more than $1 million in client funds to himself between January 2009 and April ’11, U.S. Attorney spokeswoman Patty Hartman said. He pleaded guilty on May 29, ’14 to having defrauded approximately 50 clients. The 59-year-old, according to Hartman, acted as a property manager for the individuals, collecting rent and utilities payments for owners. He also paid utility and real estate tax bills, mailing statements to tenants and property owners. At least one statement indicated that the balance in the owner’s account was $490,565.58, when it was actually $86.80. U.S. District Court Judge L. Felipe Restrepo also ordered restitution of $668,856, two years of supervised release and a $100 special assessment.

Police are looking for a man who would have burglarized a Queen Village home if not for an alarm system. Recently released surveillance video from the November incident captured the image of the male as he lurked on the 400 block of Catharine Street. After casing a residence for 20 minutes, he removed the screen from a window yet rode off on a bicycle. Returning 15 minutes later, he gained access to the home but became scared and left empty-handed when the aforementioned alarm became activated.

ith Christmas carols offering seasonal satisfaction Friday, the corner of South Broad Street and East Passyunk Avenue was the perfect place to catch an unexpected concert from this bagpiper who also happens to be a patient advocate for Kindred Hospital South Philadelphia, 1930 S. Broad St. His payingit-forward effort started with a nurse who purchased a Christmas tree from Tree World and mentioned that miracles take place at the long-term care facility. It prompted the store attendant to make a purchase at the neighboring South Philly Pretzel Factory and personally deliver the case of soft pretzels to the patients. The concert was for the patrons of the two businesses. +(*

Every child deserves a place to go where they can recreate and be with their families and have a safe and clean and fabulous outdoor facility at their disposal.� About half of the total budget is coming from Barwin and his foundation, combined with moneys from Johnson. “Today is a special day for me because I’ve been born and raised in this area,� Johnson, a Point Breeze native, said. “Our contribution is $85,000 to make sure this process becomes a reality, and I didn’t hesitate to step up to the plate and get the ball rolling.� The vision for a revitalized Tot Lot is credited to Jahmall Crandall, a community leader and founder of I.AM. South Philly. “I’m excited, I’m excited, I’m excited. From 20th and Carpenter to 20th and Tasker [streets], this community has kept me here and kept me safe,� the School District of Philadelphia police officer and resident of the 1900 block of Mountain Street said. “That’s my goal, to protect this community and I’m not by myself,� he said pointing to the crew seated behind him at the podium. “Never let anyone tell you what you can’t do. I wish Ralph could’ve been here today. I speak to him on a daily basis and by this time next year, we’ll have a new Ralph Brooks Park on 20th Street.� “I’M FROM DETROIT originally and I moved to Philly two years ago,� Barwin, whose residence in Point Breeze and insistence on bicycling and using public transit has caught national attention, including ESPN and NFL Films (the latter was present on Monday), said. He cited his beginnings on a basketball court as the spark that took him to the NFL. “I lived every day on the basketball court, and I learned about competitive nature, and to be able to give back to the kids that live here, it means the world to me.� In the Mayor’s Office release, he

Harris said. “I grew up just four blocks away from this playground, for me this is extremely special.â€? Tubbs is the founder and president of Urban Roots, and when he and Crandall started talking about improving the corner, it was mostly to do a few quick surfacelevel changes. “Originally we talked about doing some new hoops and a new surface,â€? Tubbs told the crowd. They became connected to the City’s Planning Commission and to the Philadelphia Water Department, and suddenly it was bigger than they’d imagined. “Ut oh, how are we gonna do this?â€? he asked. “But then “some guy on a bike came along and brought ESPN and NFL Films and now we’ve been launched into outer space. We want the kids in the community to launch this with us and design this with us.â€? The young people of Point Breeze are appropriately the source of inspiration and motivation. An opening prayer from a local deacon stressed “the young people can grow in safety, elders can walk up and down this corner and we’re praying that this will be the birth of great things to come.â€? Barwin’s final comments were also geared toward the kids who will benefit. “It’s going to be yours, you’re going to own this and take care of it.

ook up the word “rivalâ€? in the dictionary, and it reads: “to be in competition, to act as a rival: compete, to be in competition with, to strive to equal or excel, competitive.â€? Surprisingly, there was not a picture of the logo’s of Bill McIntyre’s Shooting Stars and the Jokers NYA. Since both of these clubs were formed in the late 1940s (Stars ’47 and Jokers ’49), they have been in competition with each other. For those counting, it would be 65 years. And it was as impressive as it was immediate. Between ’50 and ’61, the first 12 years of Brigade prizes were all won by the Jokers or the Shooting Stars (six by the Stars from ’50 to ’53, ’58 and ’59) and six by the Jokers (’54’ to ’57’; ’60 and ’61). While most will say the rivalry is in good humor, there have been occasions when it may not have seemed as such. While most will sight the dominance of the two clubs during the ’50s and early ’60s as a reason for the rivalry, there is a rumored story about a captain’s suit that caused a problem. Also in ’93, there was a timing issue that led to some frayed nerves and a one-point victory for the Stars. In addition, eight times they have finished first and second. Twelve times they have finished just ahead of the other. BUT THESE CLUBS are connected in so many ways that keep the competition fun. During the ’90s, for a number of years the Jokers and Stars amazingly, given the competition and the secrecy for which Mummers are known, shared a warehouse at Fifth and McKean streets. Fred Keller shared a story about how he spent one Christmas Eve setting up his floats so the painter would be ready to go on Christmas Day (don’t ask ‌ they are weird). When Keller showed up on the 26th, none of the Jokers’ floats were painted. The Stars had hi-jacked the painter saying he did not complete what he had promised them.

The first year the Brigades elected members into their Hall of Fame, they elected two, a star (Bill McIntyre Sr.) and a Joker (Joe “Sheiky� Walters), of course. There are numerous family connections between the two clubs that also make for some interesting holiday dinners. Two of the more notable among them are the Stars vice president Jim McCullough to Casey Olkowski. The Olkowskis have been in the Jokers since the ’70s. The McCulloughs have been in the Stars since the early ’80s. There is also of course the Adams-Gallagher union. Former Stars Captain Mickey Adams’ daughter Allison is married to longtime Joker Dan Gallagher’s son Joe “Bad News� Gallagher, who is captain of the Jokers. When Mickey stepped down as captain in 2011, his son Michael, Joe’s brother-in-law, succeeded him. Mummer historian and former captain of the Stars Franny McIntyre related some stories to me about the rivalry that he believes are all in good fun. He recalled that when he was a young captain of the stars, the Joker captain was Bud Krajicek. They decided to celebrate the rivalry by rolling a keg down to the brigade who finished higher. The roll would take place on the night of the serenade. Franny noted that one year when the Jokers finished better, the Stars rolled the barrel down to them. They returned later that night to ask if they could borrow it back when they ran out of beer. Fran said despite the years that have passed, life-long Joker Bill Wickert Sr. will not let him forget it. Finally, come New Year’s Night when the results are known, if they did not win, their next question will be “where did the Jokers/Stars finish?� If it is behind them, despite the disappointment of not winning, a competitive smile will appear across their face. Jim Julia is the president of the Philadelphia Mummers Fancy Brigade Association. +(* Comment features.

Seventh Street and Oregon Avenue feels as enthused about his endeavors as he did upon his April 6, 1964 entry into the Philadelphia Police Department. “The path has been rocky at times, but nothing has dissipated,� the 70-year-old Superintendent of Police of the Upper Darby Township Police N 0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Department said. “I still have the same pasReview Managing Editor sion, the same love for helping people and beurplus responsibilities often render tireless energy ing part of the solution.� The Marconi East product has spent the last a rarity for most individuals, but Mike Chitwood counts as an admirable anomaly. Five decades nine years yearning for answers in Delaware into his law enforcement vocation, the native of County, the fourth stop in his illustrious career. Pos-

sessing “a doctorate in the street,� he credits his longevity mainly to mental fortitude, seeing sagacity as a key in processing human behavior. “I was raised in a loving but tough environment,� Chitwood said of his maturation, which yielded an unwavering understanding of affection, discipline and structure. “I didn’t see at first how I could apply that to my profession, but quickly into my tenure, I became a champion of the rights of victims.� The compassionate figure last year decided to chronicle his search for solace amid chaos, teaming

with Harold I. Gullan to pen “Tough Cop: Mike Chitwood vs. the Scumbags.� The 177-page brainchild, of which its subject finds himself especially proud for his analysis of terrorism and the future of his field, explores his rise through the ranks of his birth city’s police department, for whom, in his nearly 20-year stint here, he gained renown as a homicide detective. Owing to his ethical and moral upbringing, Chitwood chided the manipulation and mutilation, both literal and figurative, of fellow Philadelphians, persisting as a diligent guardian who would come to collect numerous accolades. Never one to covet publicity, he often appeared on television and in newspapers because of his involvement in highprofile matters, including the January ’81 murder of Nicolette “Nicky� Caserta. “That was pivotal to my formation,� Chitwood said of the 12-year-old Kensington dweller’s death at the hands of a neighbor. “In addition to the sadness that I felt, I wondered how much more I could contribute to Philadelphia’s crime prevention identity. At age 37, I had a fantasy about being a police chief in one of the top-10 cities in the country. Regardless of how feasible that sounded, I knew, especially because of the Nicky Caserta ordeal, that I wanted a leadership role.� Two years after the girl’s slaying inten-

sified his quest for perspective, Chitwood landed the title of chief of police for Middletown Township. After a four-and-a-half year block in that role, the Philadelphiabred law enforcer earned an opportunity to break free from Pennsylvania’s confines and ventured to New England. “It represented change in many respects but not in the most important one,� Chitwood said of upholding order in Portland, Maine. “No matter where I’ve been, I’ve always desired, no matter what I’m facing, to improve the quality of life for my neighbors.� THE ALTRUISTIC INDIVIDUAL can consider himself blessed in many regards, particularly for having known at an early age where his primary passion rested. Determining as a seventh grader that the preservation of civility would win his favor, Chitwood, thanks to his “loving yet strict household� helmed by parents Marie and Walter, developed fervent adoration to caring about his community. When he became an officer, he had his diligence tested because of his placement in troubled areas, but supportive superiors and commitment to his calling arrested the development of apathy. “Philadelphia was my town,� Chitwood said of concern for the metropolis. “There

doing,� he said of logging untold hours to have justice triumph over jaded beliefs that society is crumbling and that bad guys, or, in his vocabulary, “scumbags,� will emerge victorious. “I’ve always been about treating others the way I’ve wanted to be treated. If there’s a gospel according to Mike Chitwood, that’s it.� In addition to sharing that message with colleagues, Chitwood revels in promoting positivity with wife Liz, daughter Beth Ann and son Mike Jr., chief of police for the Daytona Beach Police Department. He approved the writing of “Tough Cop� to give them a token of his appreciation for their love and affirmation of his gratitude for standing by him, warts and all. As he prepares to commence his 51st year nabbing ne’er-do-wells, he is quick to ponder his legacy but is definitely not yearning to part with his pursuit of accord. “I’m only 10 years away from 60,� Chitwood said, smiling. “I am going to keep going for as long as possible. I am very, very happy with what I’m doing.� +(* Visit caminobooks.com. Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Certainly not as turbulent as Philadelphia, Portland nonetheless kept Chitwood sharp, and he left the location feeling even more enamored with his call to duty and more reverent of his partners in preventing crime. “It’s easy to take swipes at police officers,� he said, citing recent national incidents as fodder for the ridicule of all his brethren. “I have always been a firm believer in transparency because if people know that you are truly trying to protect them, chances are all will be well most of the time. I stand by my stance that police officers, by far, go above and beyond the call of duty.� Since 2005, Chitwood has channeled his ambition to benefit Upper Darby Township denizens and dutifully maintains his physical well-being, courtesy of early morning gym jaunts, to complement his cerebral acuity. “The bottom line is that I love what I’m

veryone has different memories of Christmas. Mine are traumatic. It wasn’t that my sister and I didn’t get gifts. We did. Although my parents were of modest means, we pretty much received anything we wanted (although, the gifts we asked for were as modest as their income). One obviously couldn’t purchase gifts online in those days before the computer changed everything. To this day, I don’t know how they were able to carry the gifts home — my folks didn’t own an automobile for a large part of my childhood — or how they managed to sneak them into our home without our seeing them? Mother had only one prohibition when it came to which gifts we could receive. These were in the days before political correctness made parents believe that receiving a toy gun for Christmas was equivalent to training your child to become a mass murderer. Mom couldn’t abide toy drums. It was not that Mom was against her children becoming musicians. She rather liked music — her favorite tunes being patriotic songs, all the traditional Christmas songs and a tune for which she exhibited unusual fondness called “On a Slow Boat to China.� However, mom was smart enough to know that a toy drum in the hands of a child could be a terrible thing. Thus it was that one Christmas turned especially traumatic. My Aunt Ange, a warm person without a malicious bone in her body, gave yours truly a toy drum. Auntie apparently had not sought the advice of my mother before purchasing the gift. I must say I took to that toy drum with all of the enthusiasm of Gene Krupa. I was really into one of those drum solo riffs when my mother snatched it away from me and put her foot through it. Apparently my ego was as fragile as that drum, for I never took up a musical instrument again and for that matter, while I love jazz, cannot abide until this day, one of those long drum solos. I don’t want to give you the impression that I had a strict child-rearing. It does appear, though, that Christmas brought out the tyrannical side of my lovely parents. While we had a fresh Christmas tree every year, we were not allowed to participate in trimming the plant. Tree decoration was as strictly my father’s province as gift-buying was my mother’s. Dad took great pride in

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` S d W S e Q ] [

decorating the tree. He placed each Christmas ball and strand of tinsel with the exactitude of a screw being tightened on a NASA spacecraft. None of us were allowed to join in. The one season that Mom convinced him to make an exception for me, I never got beyond placing the first strand of tinsel on the tree (actually I flung a bunch of the silvery stuff at the tree with great abandon). It was probably the last time I acted with any sort of abandon in our house and certainly the last time that I became involved in trimming the Christmas tree. Dad used to decorate the bottom of the tree with a wind-up train. Although the wind-up train was designated as mine, I was not allowed to place it on the tracks, let alone wind it up for a ride. Dad was the only engineer allowed to drive that train. Side note: My wife and I still have the same wind-up train, now 76 years old, and I lost interest in wanting to wind it up a long time ago. I often wondered why we couldn’t get a set of Lionel electric trains like some of my other relatives. I never got an answer. Our family didn’t acknowledge the advent of electricity when it came to trains. I was in my teens by the time we were allowed to have electric lights on the tree. My parents did not believe that one should put electric lights on a live tree. Fire hazard, you know. Somewhere in my teens, Dad had a come-to-Jesus moment regarding the use of tree lights. Suddenly, one season our tree lit up like all the other trees in our family. At that moment, I felt much the same way Benjamin Franklin must’ve felt when he flew his kite on that lightningfilled night. Dad made sure that the lights were lit for only a few hours because otherwise the tree might dry out and a conflagration would surely follow. He was the one who made certain the Christmas tree lights were turned out before we left the house. Dad also made sure to point out the grim lesson of not obeying fire safety rules whenever the news would dutifully report a tragic house fire during the holidays. I still feel a little trepidation about the electric lights shining so brightly on our own live tree today. It was OK to greet someone by saying “Happy Holidays� back then without feeling that you were undermining Christianity, especially since we lived in a Jewish neighborhood. In fact, there is a song called “Happy Holiday� that was popular back then — written by Irving Berlin — and sung by Bing Crosby in the film “Holiday Inn.� Nobody grew traumatic about the song. It was one of the few things we didn’t get traumatic about then. +(* Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

ast Passyunk Avenue’s foremost stretch, and its most visible, has finally joined the culinary party. Palladino’s, 1934 E. Passyunk Ave., plugged in the bright lights and rolled out the red carpet last week to welcome guests to the Italian steakhouse. Dazzling, modern and sleek, the restaurant illuminates a too-long-dimmed corridor that has been vacant since a 2012 fire. Though as striking as the façade and signage may be, they are only a prelude to a menu offering an ambitious new phase of South Philly Italian and a chef raring to execute it. “I think my approach to Italian cuisine and my style as a chef is different than what anyone else is doing in Philadelphia,â€? chef/owner Luke Palladino said. “Then I looked around East Passyunk Avenue — a lot of great chefs and great concepts but I thought our version of Italian would be great. Two, I didn’t see any big steaks, chops and grilled fish. So we got a beautiful wood grill, and people seem to be very excited.â€?

>OZZORW\]¸a dSOZ QV]^

Anchoring the menu are those aforementioned big steaks and chops, ranging from a 32-ounce Tuscan porterhouse for two ($75) to a 16-ounce veal chop topped with wild mushrooms, prosciutto and a sage crema ($32). Wood-grill offerings are surrounded by a full compliment of handcrafted pastas and antipasti, with many dishes representing the winter-driven flavors of the moment — butternut squash ravioli ($21), pasta filled with roasted beets and Tuscan kale ($19). Others recall stalwart ingredients from the Italian lexicon —arancini, focaccia, and gnocchi — but with Palladino’s modern touches. “We change the menu seasonally and often. Right now we are in the winter menu, and this will even change sometime after the New Year,� Palladino explained regarding construction of the menu. “I lived

all over the boot. It’s very regional and I love all different areas of Italian cuisine. “In wintertime, we head toward more northern-style cuisine. Summertime, we head to the coasts all around the boot — Sicily, Venice and Puglia — all of those influences. Wintertime, it is more toward Piemonte, Friuli, that style of cuisine.� Palladino speaks with confident ease discussing Italy’s regions and cuisine, without question the product of a twoyear term as executive chef and partner of Venice’s acclaimed Ristorante al Covo in addition to several sabbaticals that immersed him in the culture. One of these came as recently as this fall and resulted in additions to the wine list. On the interior, the biggest surprise is the 12-foot bar, set up facing the avenue to allow for people watching through accordion-style windows. Marble and mahogany, it leads directly into the wide open kitchen to let one catch the chef’s team at work, so it may contain the 18-best seats in the house. Three 60-inch TVs hover above the rows of liquor bottles. It all adds up to a more developed bar experience than many may have imagined, something Palladino had an eye on all along. “We’re working on some happy hour things, and what we are going to do for football, the Eagles games — opening early with some specials on the bar menu with beers and stuff. We definitely want people to come in here and start watching some games,� Palladino explained. “We’re the only spot on the avenue really that has a great TV presence. It’s going to be a cool place to hang and have fun, and we have an amazing sound system.� The bar menu matches this vision, as it offers potato skins, an eight-ounce wood grilled burger and calamari to go with price points of $9, $14 and $12, respectively. Overall, Palladino’s presents an energetic vibe that comfortably supports fine dining as well as game-time noshing. Upon entry, the eye moves first to the buzz of the kitchen and shiny bar space before settling onto the dimmer hanging lights that dangle over the cozy dining area set in the back. Perhaps the final major puzzle piece of the always-rousing restaurant scene on the avenue, Palladino’s feels right at home with firm placement at the intersection of foodie destination and crowd pleaser. +(* Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

0W`R[O\ Despite Emmanuel Lubezki’s virtuoso cinematography, and a whole cast of actors working at full throttle (Oscar hopefuls Michael Keaton and Emma Stone lead an ace ensemble that also includes Naomi Watts and Edward Norton), “Birdmanâ€? paints filmmaker Alejandro GonzĂĄlez Iùårritu as a failed satirist, and a man too consumed by his own ego to make a work that’s thematically coherent or culturally astute. The movie’s chatty bells and whistles serve to mask what little it has to say. ' A\]e^WS`QS` Joon-ho Bong’s English-language debut came with a paved road of prestige, considering that the South Korean director had been hailed for such films as “Memories of Murder,â€? and actors like Tilda Swinton signed on for this postapocalyptic epic. But the central metaphor of a train standing in for the world’s class system — it carries mankind’s only survivors, whose distance from the front determines their social standing — proves a rather thin conceit, and without it, one is left with little more than another “chosen oneâ€? actioner. & EVOb 7T No matter the chemistry between endearing stars Zoe Kazan and Daniel Radcliffe, this millennial take on the “When Harry Met Sallyâ€? formula, wherein the concept of a man and woman remaining friends despite attraction is tested, reminds viewers that no amount of hip oneliners can make up for true character connection. The last thing one should desire while watching a romcom is that the two lovebirds stop communicating altogether.

4`][ =aQO` POWb b] ^ZOW\ ]ZR QVc[ VS`S O`S bVS []dWSa bVOb TOWZSR b] ZSOdS O ZOabW\U W[^`SaaW]\ % BVS 7[WbObW]\ 5O[S O\R BVS BVS]`g ]T 3dS`gbVW\U These two period pieces about two reallife geniuses (Alan Turing and Stephen Hawking, respectively), fail to honor their subjects’ legacies by sticking to a dry and transparent Oscar formula. Turing changed the course of World War II, and Hawking changed the way we understand physics, but such achievements are buried in milquetoast attributes that seem to exist merely to collect statuettes. $ ;OZSÂżQS\b It’s hard to imagine one would get such toothless results from a film that casts Angelina Jolie, Hollywood’s most transfixing specimen, as Maleficent, Disney’s most delectable villain. Alas, amid a glut of needless CGI (Jolie is, after all, her own stunning special effect), this live-action origin story takes all the mystique away from its horned title character, and in its attempt to make a kindly feminist statement, effectively rends her of her power. # 0SUW\ /UOW\ Suspension of disbelief on the levels of artistic merit and character interplay is a minor quibble when compared to the vexing hypocrisy of this music-industry sendup. “Onceâ€? director John Carney was a promising talent, but his Hollywood follow-up — about a singer (Keira Knightley) and the guerilla album she makes outdoors with a downtrodden producer (Mark Ruffalo) — constantly bucks its own moral of think-outside-the-box art-

istry by kowtowing to a cozy mainstream template. Download the soundtrack; skip the rest. " Âľ;OUWQ W\ bVS ;]]\ZWUVbÂś People speak often about Woody Allen’s hit-and-miss trajectory — the natural rhythm for the prolific director who churns out at least one annual film. But whereas “To Rome with Loveâ€? was a minor detour following Allen’s beloved “Midnight in Paris,â€? “Magic in the Moonlightâ€? is a cliff dive in the wake of the much-embraced “Blue Jasmine.â€? Starring Emma Stone as a medium that Colin Firth’s magician seeks to discredit, the clunky slog of a comedy is Allen phoning it in, and the implausible May-December romance that develops puts the wrong kind of spotlight on the director’s famed self-reflexivity. ! >][^SWW It’s tempting just to sit back and surrender to Paul W.S. Anderson’s trashy reimagining of the title town’s undoing, but it would be easier if the film didn’t plod its way through the disasterpiece motions. Finding its inner “Titanicâ€? and focusing on the gravity-free love between a tribe member (Kit Harrington) and a Pompeiian beauty (Emily Browning), the movie crawls its way to its inevitable finale, which, for a director of Anderson’s underrated action-choreography talents, is a disaster in and of itself. 5W[[S AVSZbS` Ostensibly about the tribulations of underprivileged pregnant teens, “Gimme

Shelter� ultimately shows its true colors as Bible-thumping pro-life propaganda, trumpeting the merits of a saintly woman’s (Ann Dowd) real-life shelter as opposed to humanizing the tortured expectant mom (Vanessa Hudgens) at its center. Hudgens’s character is presented as an offensive parody of the lower class, whose shrill characterization involves eating like a cow, walking like a rhinoceros and talking like a boorish crook. It chills the spine to say it, but MTV’s “16 and Pregnant� might be more valuable to the culture. BVOb /eYeO`R ;][S\b Zac Efron headlined one of the year’s best comedies (“Neighbors�), but unfortunately, he also leads its worst movie in general, a highly demeaning bro-fest out to celebrate the male libido, while slyly pretending to be about taming the wild beast. Efron, Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan play three New York friends and roommates who — sob — are all struggling with the prospect of settling down. The film’s most telling image is that of a dildo exposed at a costume party, since a swinging phallic symbol could visually encapsulate the overall message. These three men are hardly deserving of the women they manage to win over, yet moviegoers are asked to bask in their graciousness for deigning to be monogamous. What’s most awkward is that this is one backwards-thinking movie, wherein men should be applauded — by viewers and their less-than female counterparts — for behaving like humans. +(* Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

any people love loafing around during the holidays, but if they elect to reject healthy eating during their hibernation, they could come to cap the year with unwanted servings of regret. The appropriately-named Holly Green, however, wants to keep blues at bay and accomplishes the task with her Paleo Spice Bread. The resident of the 1100 block of Dickinson Street stated the creation offers “a tasty and trim solution� to urges to indulge in only sugary, high-caloric options and promises that its spicy and savory qualities will cause neither one’s sweet tooth nor waistline to revolt. +(*

uniper is an essential ingredient in distilling gin. Gin is essential in stirring the perfect martini. Chef Kevin Sbraga has paid tribute to the classic martini and much more at Juniper Commons, his sparkling new restaurant located at 521 South Broad Street. Sbraga, who was named Top Chef more than four years ago, is a Jersey boy born and bred. Growing up in the 80s, he and his family would dine at The Pub. He wanted to bring the 80s-style menu into the 21ist century and he has succeeded on all levels. Four tips of the toque straight away for the lighting throughout the large dining room. Kudos to the print size on the menu. I could actually enjoy reading it without a flashlight or magnifying glass. The bar area has a wood-burning oven, an open kitchen with raw bar on display, soft amber and earth tone fabric on the roomy booths. Since I have been to Sbraga on several occasions, the general manager at Juniper Commons recognized me. He and Sbraga have assembled a first-rate staff who take care of their patrons. The drinks list is dazzling, including martinis. There are many gins from which to choose. When was the last time you were charged $10 dollars for a perfect martini? Warm zucchini bread with soft butter when tasty but a bit too sweet to begin the meal. I saved it for later. The first time I ever sampled a shellfish tower was many years ago in Paris. At Juniper Commons ($45) one will get

a two-tired assembly of oysters, including Delaware Bays, littleneck clams, peel-ityourself shrimp and half a Maine lobster. The oysters and clams were fine with a squeeze of lemon and a dunking of mignonette sauce. I would have preferred cherrystones to the tiny clams, but this is a matter of personal taste. The shrimp were a tad over cooked but the lobster was steamed and chilled just right. I remember watching tuxedoed waiters prepare Caesar salad tableside at the Vesper Club when I was a girl. Sbraga has brought it back ($18 for two). A waiter mixed crushed raw garlic with olive oil, lemon juice, a dash of Lea & Perrins (this ingredient is often neglected), fresh ground pepper, a pasteurized egg and Parmesan cheese into a large wooden bowl. He added fresh, cool romaine lettuce leaves, and gave it a good toss. He served the salad on Acorac glass salad plates that were all the rage in the 80s. I have a collection at home. I thought the salad needed a bit more olive oil and lemon juice and could have been more eggy. Still, it was a fine prelude to our entrees. Prime rib of beef ($32) should be served medium-rare as anything else is a crime. The chefs at Juniper Commons know their beef and how to roast it to perfection. It was served with a natural jus and needed no seasoning whatsoever. This entrĂŠe was so large, half of it was toted home for lunch the next day. Salmon was the fish of choice during the 80s as it popped up on menus all over the city. Before that time, flounder was just about the only fresh fish one could find. The salmon ($23) was simply seasoned

and cooked mid-rare, a bit translucent inside as it must be. The chefs here know when to leave a good thing alone. There are a number of wines by the bottle below forty dollars. A gentleman helped us make a selection. He chose a Renegade Cabernet/Merlot blend from California ($36). It was filled with lush fruit, but just a tad too warm. It was chilled for a bit and came back a little on the cool side. Jumbo baked potatoes remind me of American steakhouses. The potatoes here ($6) are large enough for two but on the small side. It was topped with butter and sour cream. Creamed spinach ($7) is another favorite. Although it was freshly prepared, it needed a bit more butter and cream. Customers can order a corned beef sandwich or a burger, classic crab cakes (another 80s rage), pasta or eggplant Parmesan. There is something for everyone at Juniper Commons.

Service was exceptional. The staff watches the tables and we did not have to wait long between courses on a busy evening. The manager wanted us to try a large slice of layer cake. Sbraga’s father was a baker and his wife is a pastry chef. This dessert was light and rich with flavor. And took me right back to the time when everyone, chefs included, was seeking ideas from the “Silver Palate Cookbook.� Three-and-a-half tips of the toque to Juniper Commons. +(*

culinary mastery, a trek that dates back to his adolescence. “I had awareness of certain aspects of the industry, having managed, served and bartended at places, so I’m finding this pretty exciting,� the Old City inhabitant said of his budding existence at the Lower Moyamensing location. “I’m learning step by step and appreciate each lesson.� The curious cook’s evolution comes in conjunction with that of owner and chief “hospitalogist� Thom Sueta, who became aware of Day through the latter’s alma mater. Having engaged in intense spring and summer discussions of SouthHouse’s identity, the duo decided on a diverse menu, with Day especially looking to honor his knowledge of Philadelphia cuisine. “Along with interest in New American and fusion foods, I respect what people rely on as staples, particularly Italian food,� the hire said of how he and Girard Estate denizen Sueta look to garner a following, which is gradually occurring, as evidenced by

the Dec. 18 Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia’s Holiday Lights Ride after party. “That comes through with items such as The Neighbor [sauteed chicken sandwich], and the [Engine 49] Benedict, which is a spinoff of a cheesesteak.� SouthHouse also prides itself on offering vegetarian and gluten-free selections, so Day delighted in making the Whole Roasted Cauliflower, the recipe for which he determined after consulting other versions, the site’s last menu addition. Due to its size, the creation appears on the venue’s “Share� section, and in keeping with that theme of sharing, Day relayed that patrons have given him praise for his ingenuity. “I like improving,� the chef, who has returned to the Art Institute to study baking and pastry, said. “I’m gradually getting better and look forward to more interactions with the community.� 7<5@3273<BA 4=@ 1/C:74:=E3@(

nitely wasn’t the case with Lionel, and his totals would have been even better if not for injuries.� In seven seasons with the California club, Simmons played in 454 games, including 307 starts, averaging 12.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists. He earned All-Rookie First-Team recognition for averaging 18 points, 8.8 board and 4 helpers in ’90-’91, statistics that resulted in a second-place Rookie of the Year finish. That inaugural year will certainly stand out for fans, who can also commend him for his ’95 induction into the La Salle University Hall of Athletes, his ’96 enshrinement in the Big 5 Hall of Fame and his 2008 placement in the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame, for numerical reasons, but it will also register for them because it initiated his philanthropic identity. For nearly a quarter century, Courtyard Apartments, 1021 S. Fourth St., which now stands in place of the Southwark Plaza projects where he matured, has benefited from his generosity, with Halloween through Christmas an especially prosperous period for youngsters and families courtesy of parties, turkey giveaways, senior dinners and a holiday toy drive.

Broad St., making him the site’s alltime leading marksman, but the Queen Village product produced a different sort of point at his alma mater Saturday, one that has helped his evolution from eminent athlete to humble humanitarian. “I bleed South Philly,� the 46-year-old alumnus said. “I want to see our communities become better, and I love to come back and help others to be successful because many people, especially folks affiliated with Southern, helped me along the way.� The 1986 graduate returned to the Lower Moyamensing institution to mark the retiring of his No. 22 jersey. Forever focused on acknowledging others before himself, the 2014 South Philly Review Difference Maker agreed to appear only if Southern arranged to have his high school classmates present. With those figures and other backers beaming, Simmons, former coach Mitch Schneider and Southern personnel took to the court during halftime of a boys’ tilt for a ceremony. “This is a special day for honoring a great man,� Principal Otis D. Hackney III said in helming the celebration. “We admire what you’ve done on and off the court and are proud to call you one of our own.� Longtime basketball coach George Anderson handled the numeric portion of the proceedings, regaling the crowd with Simmons’ feats as a Ram, a La Salle University Explorer and a Sacramento King. “These totals are absolutely amazing,� Anderson, who served as a gym teacher and track coach during Simmons’ Southern stint, said, noting that the small forward led the Public League in scoring as a junior and a senior, the latter campaign featuring an astounding 32.8 average. “After making South Philly proud, he went on to show the country his talent, too.� Simmons gave a sample of his savvy as a sophomore, earning Third-Team All-League commendation.

am a diehard Flyers fan, but with marginal interest in the Phillies and Sixers and absolutely no enthusiasm for the Eagles, nobody can count me as a “homer.� However, I respect those who root for the other three local squads and, sad to say, have come to pity those who adore the Birds. Even with minimal interest in the franchise, I fully expected the Eagles to destroy the Redskins Saturday. I had other obligations for most of the game, so when I was able to catch action for the first time, I found myself stunned to see the 3-11 Skins up 24-14. As quarterback Mark Sanchez and tight end Zach Ertz proved a potent tandem, I believed they would ward off an upset and claim their 10th win. Then I remembered that I live in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia sports teams have a wonderful legacy of choking. No unit seems immune to this malady, and Sanchez showed he is in a sharing mood this Christmas season by tossing a late interception. Thanks to Redskins kicker Kai Forbath and the Dallas Cowboys’ 42-7 annihilation of the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, the Birds, despite having the ability to finish four games over .500 should they beat the Giants on Sunday, will be making January golf plans. Knowing fellow Philadelphians’ passion for the Birds, I deep down wish the players and coaches could concoct a remedy for their perpetual assault on fans’ sanity. What will it take to produce a winner at Lincoln Financial Field? Maybe the front office can resolve to find answers in 2015. +(* Visit southphillysports.wordpress.com/

NOVENAS NOVENA TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all roads, so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things as You confirm once again that I never want to be separated from You even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with You in eternal glory. Thank You for your mercy towards me and mine. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days the favor will be granted. The prayer must be published immediately.
