Happy New Year

Many of 2010’s biggest stories were filled with drama and suspense.

But like the saga of Harry Potter, the final chapters have yet to unfold.

Cardella: The column for the new year

Much like the Christmas column, no self-respecting columnist can let his end-ofthe-year column pass without making all sorts of predictions for the coming year.

The problem is, I am rarely correct in my predictions.

Advertisers: Check your ads weekly. The Review can be responsible only the first time an ad appears.

To the Editor: Because we are human, all or most of us have certain traits, characteristics or emotional disorders that otherwise normally healthy people would rather not have to deal with. Some, with a bit of effort, can be controlled or even eliminated.

One of those disorders may never be cured. Even with attempts at its curing, the joyful pleasure of the deliberate and evil torture of helpless animals (“No Vicktory for protestors, Dec. 23) is the strongest indication of a very sick-minded person that will grow into a very wicked adult.

They are just born that way. Just as being left- or right-handed, your neighborhood, lifestyle, friends or family or poverty have nothing to do with it. It is there, will never be cured and will never go away.

I can excuse and forgive a lot of bad things and although I know it is a sickness, cruelty — especially the torture of animals — is too monstrous and shockingly horrible to be excused or forgiven. Those who do excuse it have their own mental disorder. I am more than sure because cruelty of any kind is indefensible, inexcusable and should never be forgiven.

I cannot stand to look at the face of Michael Vick. I must turn away because he stirs up such strong and overwhelming emotion in me and makes me wish for him the harm he did to those loving and adorable dogs he mangled to please his sick, twisted and cruel mind.

He, like his ilk, was very clever and meticulous at handling the initial outcry hurled against him. The nerve he has for wanting a dog. But let’s be real on the matter that he is all better.

I repeat cruelty is a sickness that you are born with, Michael Vick, and you can’t fool this man. I wouldn’t let you raise cockroaches much less another poor animal Fill your sickness with all the money you can, but in the end, there is your just reward.

Frank Cavallaro South Philadelphia To the Editor: I am on both sides of the fence with this one. I am a diehard Eagles fan, but Michael Vick and people like him (athletes, stars) always get away with murder. Vick was on top of the world back in Atlanta (as he is once again

somehow). Kids idolized him, people wanted to be him and he did what he did. But yet again, an athlete gets a second chance.

When I was much younger, I did something stupid and got into trouble. I’ve paid for it ever since by being turned down for decent jobs and being looked at in a different light.

When do people like me get a break (the regular non-millionaire)? When one thing goes wrong for them, they whine and hold press conferences.

The rest of the world doesn’t have an option to tell how good of a worker we are in a press conference, hoping someone will look past our issue and hire us.

I root for the Birds as a team, but not for that individual. When Vick doesn’t play for us anymore, I hope he gets his [due]. I am not an activist, I am just a man stating a fact.

Joseph Camodeca South Philadelphia

Thanks to the nice gentleman

adult instead of just taxing a chosen few.

I am a 77-year-old homeowner and this will be the third time in a little more than a year my real estate tax has increased. I also am jolly about Mayor Nutter not informing [lowincome] seniors, except by computers, of the opportunity to apply for a tax freeze. Most seniors don’t have the luxury of a computer or the know how to use one. A notice should have been sent to all senior homeowners.

Another thing I am really thankful for is not voting for Nutter. In the 77 years I have lived, I can remember we Philadelphians have had our share of bad mayors. However, Nutter has really tried to be the absolute worst that I can remember.

My last thanks is to all residents of Philadelphia. I know you are all smart enough not to elect him to a second term. If you do, you deserve everything he takes away from you including your money.

George Munce South Philadelphia

m going to be honest with you guys.

I didn’t vote on Nov. 2. I didn’t know who was running and frankly, I didn’t care.

I don’t even know what mid-term elections for Congress are.

I wasn’t alone however in my choice to not vote. Only 9 percent of eligible GenY voters decided to vote. Why was there such a low turnout compared to the 2008 Obama presidential election? I think it’s because politics have gotten ugly.

There is no bigger turnoff for Gen-Yers than conflict. We were raised in a cushy, velvet-lined world where we were praised not only for winning, but simply trying.

My generation might as well be called

“Generation Labrador.� We are the idealistic, bleeding heart-ed, tail waggers of America’s history. We want nothing more than to text all of our 754 Facebook friends throughout the day. We love our parents, ride our bikes to our nonprofit jobs, eat organically and buy handmade items off of Etsy. We’re not exactly hippies, but we’re damn close to it.

The angry, ignorant political wars of ’10 don’t really matter to me. Why the ambivalence? Well, for one thing, I hate yelling. I also hate the blind embracement of religion and the rejection of science and evidence of global warming. I also really hate stupid wilderness shows about dumb female politicians with glasses who fish all of the damn time.

Two years ago, the Obama Administration promised us hope. It promised something new, shiny and bright, and it used social media and snappy art to deliver that promise to my generation. As much as I still support Obama, he’s just not pulling his weight anymore and that hope has lost its luster.

I don’t think we need politicians to change the world. I don’t want to ... SPR

In-home mugging

As a Lower Moyamensing resident carried in shopping bags, a man snuck in and robbed her.

By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

A

man slipped in an elderly woman’s residence through an open door as she unloaded bags from her car.

The 81-year-old returned home from shopping at about 5:35 p.m. and parked in her garage on the 2400 block of South Ninth Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While she was carrying her purchases inside, a man followed her in the kitchen and demanded money. She gave him $218. As he fled her home, he knocked over a TV and ripped the cord out of her telephone.

The suspect was described as white, 5-foot-9 and wearing a green jacket with a scarf covering his face.

day’s snowstorm, and we are again left to wonder what the next 12 months will bring. Before we become too engrossed in prognosticating, here is a look at what fate gave South Philly in ’10.

P

erhaps people grew too fond of theories that the world will end in 2012, as this year was certainly one with few certainties. With school violence, seemingly endless snow and stalled entertainment projects dominating the headlines, life in South Philadelphia became a game of “what will we face today?”

There were occasional highs thanks to the Flyers’ run to the Stanley Cup Finals and Roy Halladay’s proving that Philadelphia is again a baseball-frenzied town, but outside of the sporting world, there were struggles. Add Sun-

Citizens’ Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, 1137 Wharton St., had its work put on hold while the courts decided whether to disband the nonprofit’s board or revoke its status. Attorney General and Gov.elect Tom Corbett filed a lawsuit against the nonprofit following convictions for its co-founder and ex-state Sen. Vince Fumo and former Executive Director Ruth Arnao for defrauding the group of more than $1 million.

Pennsport residents had cause to revel with the City’s announcement of a lightrail system. The proposed $364 to $514 million project would connect Center City with the Delaware River waterfront and could one day feature stops at the Navy Yard and sports complex.

A mysterious odor hit the air following an equipment cleaning to a scheduled maintenance project. A spokesman for the Sunoco Refinery, 3144 W. Passyunk Ave., attributed the smell that later drifted into local neighborhoods to oil that had landed

on the roof of a large storage tank.

After a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit his birthplace, Haitian-born Ralph Toussaint, a senior at South Phildelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., collected donations for the American Red Cross relief efforts as the volunteer aspect of his school project.

Meanwhile, area businesses donated a portion of their proceeds to help the earthquake-striken country.

included rehabbing and selling homes in his area.

Shortly after a meeting with Rev. John Calabro, parents of students at Holy Spirit, 1845 Hartranft St., learned their school would remain open. Those with learners at Stella Maris, 814 Bigler St., hoped to hear the same following a pastoral recommendation to the Archdiocese to close their facility.

The initial Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations’ public hearing to address issues of discrimination occurred at Guerin Recreation Center, 2201 S. 16th St., where students, teachers and parents testified about school violence. The series of meetings was a result of racially-motivated attacks at Southern.

Copious snow totals frustrated residents but allowed their goodwill toward one another to overcome the City’s slow cleanup process. Mom-and-pop businesses profitted from the snow’s making many residents reluctant to drive.

South Philadelphia placed two zip codes on a national real estate authority’s list of hot sales locations. The distinction pleased Newbold resident Gerald Ross, an eye doctor whose real estate dabblings have

A Vegas gaming mogul announced his involvement in reviving the financiallystruggling Foxwoods Casino Project along the Delaware River waterfront. With the backing of Steve Wynn, the chairman and chief executive officer for Wynn Resorts, it was disclosed an affiliate of his would act as a manager and managing general partner, pending the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s approval.

The East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District opened up Saturday nights as its open-store night. Doors were open at more than two dozen places with free food and beverage tastings, art shows and live performances.

UP IN THE AIR continued from page 8 tion of its new environmentally-friendly distribution complex and bakery at the Navy Yard. As part of Mayor Nutter’s plan to make Philadelphia America’s greenest city, the company began construction on a 350,000-square-foot facility that produces 1.2 million solar modules per year.

April The Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society opened a low-cost wellness center at 2900 Grays Ferry Ave. The 62,000-squarefoot clinic became the organization’s latest endeavor to turn Philadelphia into a no-kill city.

Flavors of the Avenue returned to East Passyunk Avenue after a one-year hiatus.

The festival involved 20 local restaurants and more than 30 vendors — all eager to entice palates.

The third annual Philly Spring Cleanup consisted of environmentally-adept residents manning 22 local sites. The fivehour event, dubbed “Keep Up the Sweep Up,” united community volunteers and representatives from civic groups in tree tending, gardening and litter cleanup.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia officially announced that Stella Maris School would close at the end of the school year due to low enrollment. Upon hearing this, parents needed to find a new school for their children and could receive a tuition subsidy if enrolling at Epiphany of Our Lord, 1248 Jackson St., or St. Monica, 1720 Ritner St. Fifteen cheerleaders at St. Nicholas of Tolentine, 913 Pierce St., crocheted scarves, which went to cancer patients at Northeast Philadelphia’s Fox Chase Cancer Center, as part of their time on a Catholic Youth Organization team.

May The School District of Philadelphia proposed to shutter George W. Childs Elementary School, 1541 S. 17th St., at the end of the school year. The district cited the school’s 116-year-old building in calling for students to move to Norris S. Barratt Middle School, 1599 Wharton St. The Tasty Baking Co. opened a 345,000-square-foot facility in the Navy Yard. The 25-acre location cranks out products that have reigned as area staples since the company’s 1914 debut.

Dominiq Gilyard and Reneé Jackson, students at Old City-based Constitution High School had an opportunity to meet 10 Afghan students and their principal through a National Constitution Center project. The international exhibit fea-

tured photographs taken by students from both schools and focused on themes such as citizenship, freedom and religious expression.

Mayor Michael Nutter honored a collection of Philadelphia’s wisest elders at the 10th annual Mayor’s Centenarian Celebration. The two-hour celebration, held at Penn’s Landing Caterers, 1301 S. Columbus Blvd., gathered residents from various areas of the city, including three locals, as part of Philadelphia’s contribution to Older Americans Month.

June Looking to enhance recreational access to the Delaware River waterfront, City officials unveiled the Delaware River Trail, a 1.3-mile, multi-use recreational path starting at Pier 64.

The Splash and Summer FUNd, a pool fundraising campaign in its second year of salvaging aquatic opportunities for residents, celebrated the opening of all 70 municipal pools at Sacks Playground, 400 Washington Ave. The Pennsport site’s pool, along with four other local spots, had been among the 27 casualties from 2009’s budget crisis.

After 56 years of educating many local children, Stella Maris School closed. Students, teachers and parents honored the school’s legacy with songs and prayers in the schoolyard before parting.

Two Arcadia University graduates headed to Louisiana to document April’s oil spills in the Gulf region. Matthew Tucker, a former Bella Vista resident, and a friend created a blog called “Restore the Gulf,” where they photographed, videotaped and wrote of their experiences.

Above, February upped the anxiety for parents of students at Stella Maris School In a letter, they learned the school might close. It eventually would in June. Center, Karen Wolfe and her daughter Gwendolyn Koziara partook in the third annual Philly Spring Cleanup at Southern. Right, to celebrate the opening of the Tasty Baking Co.’s new Nay Yard facility, Kirbee the Krimpet shakes what his baker gave him. The facility will look to transform Philadelphia into America’s greenest city.

July Citizens’ Alliance awaited a verdict on whether it could relaunch under a new name following fraud convictions for its co-founder and former executive director.

President and CEO of the Center City District Paul Levy recommended renaming the organization Passyunk East Revitalization Corp. and giving it a new, smaller focus.

Broad-Street-and-Packer-Avenue sisters Jennifer and Krystal Tini, along with Third-and-Tree-streets resident Monique Impagliazzo, had their cinematic dreams come true. “Standing Ovation,” a film which they had worked on for two years, enjoyed a nationwide release.

Local chef Siobhan Allgood landed a spot on season seven of Fox’s reality cooking show “Hell’s Kitchen.” The Passyunk Square resident locked horns with chef Gordon Ramsey, who made her the season’s eighth cooking casualty.

Three Virginia-bred sisters offered multimedia opportunities to children on a Grays Ferry block through Positive Minds. The nonprofit offered children the chance to work together and showcase their community via photography, audio and video.

The PSPCA received a search warrant for the property at 739 Earp St. and re-

Siobhan Allgood brought passion to her stay on a reality cooking show. Other contestants often acted like sharks in degrading her dishes, but like the snapperer in this photo, she showed that she has a quick mouth, too. trieved 85 Chihuahuas, two cats and two dead Chihuahuas over the course of several hours. The City’s Department of Licenses and Inspections forced the alleged owners of the three-story dwelling, Richard and Franny Rotunda, to vacate the feces-filled property.

August The Conswiller B. Pratt Apartments, 3001 Moore St., and Wilson Park, 2500 Jackson St., served as two local spots for the Food for Life program. A collaboration between the Philadelphia Housing

Authority and Iovine Brothers Produce & Catering, the program sold moderatelypriced fruits and vegetables over three months.

Transplant recipients spent six days in Wisconsin as participants in the 2010 U.S. Transplant Games. George Arroyo, of 11th and Shunk streets, celebrated the 10th anniversary of his receiving a kidney by competing in his third competition while Patricia Nelson and her daughter Alison, of Second and Greenwich streets, were spectators at their first in memory of Patricia’s son, David.

Nearly 150 residents of the Pennsport and Whitman rallied to protest their fire-station’s first City-mandated work stoppage. Gathering at Engine 53, 41416 Snyder Ave., they let the City know their frustrations with the brownout system by displaying signs and voicing opposition.

The Packer Avenue Marine Terminal, Packer Avenue and Columbus Boulevard, welcomed more than 10,000 new vehicles from South Korea. The Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors’ automobiles arrived on 12-story vessels as part of their manufacturers’ consolidated mid-Atlantic business. continued on next page

Charles Y. Audenried Senior High School, 3301 Tasker St., hosted a threehour workshop on childhood obesity.

“I wanted to start acting when I was about 3 and did my first show when I was 5,” Korbal, who is a stage actress and singer, said.

“When I was a little bit younger, I used to always watch movies, listen to music, like ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Annie.’ Everyday I would want to be a different character from the movies and if you called me by my real name I wouldn’t answer.”

Soon she will be answering to the name Cosette as the aspiring actress/singer beat out thousands for the part of Young Cosette in the 25th-anniversary production of “Les Misérables.” The work is based on the novel penned by Victor Hugo that

New Year’s eve PartY

my mom came down and said my agent Barry wanted to talk to me. And he told me I had got the role of little Cosette. I was very excited. My usual routine is to go get my phone and tell my family, but my phone was broken so I couldn’t do that.

We called from mom’s phone and I talked to everyone. “[I] told my Papi, he lives in South Philadelphia. He was very excited to see ‘Les Misérables’ because ‘Little House on the Prairie’ didn’t come any closer to Philadelphia than Atlanta and he’s never missed any of my shows and he’s really excited it’s opening in Philadelphia.”

Before the upcoming debut, Korbal had to navigate a busy production schedule that spanned the Christmas holiday. But the budding actress’ mother said last week that the juggling of her time is something the 10 year old is ready to do.

“Christmas Eve she [had] a matinee on the 24th and then I [got] her and we [went] straight down [to South Philly],” Christine said. “She [was] home Christmas day then they [had] two performances the day after Christmas. We are lucky that we are local.” SPR

musical theater.”

When she was selected for a role in “Annie” at age 5, Christine thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so the family made sure she could go on the tour. It turned out that Korbal’s talent was able to keep the ball rolling in a business that can be brutal to even its most gifted members.

“It is not the usual case, now she’s on her third tour,” Christine, 39, said of the “Les Misérables” tour that completes the trifecta of “Annie” and “Little House on the Prairie.” “My sister, [Patricia Fortino,] who also still lives in South Philly, will be traveling with her a lot. It’s usually a question of which family member can take a week off. Once I realized it was something she could really consider doing, I wouldn’t stop her doing what she loves.”

With the current production, Korbal couldn’t get the message about her new role out fast enough.

“I was down the Shore, and a few days before we went we knew I’d have an audition and I’d have to leave a little bit early,” Korbal said. “There was a whole bunch of kids there and I auditioned. We started getting in to smaller groups as people left.

The column for the new year

M

uch like the Christmas column, no self-respecting columnist can let his end-of-the-year column pass without making all sorts of predictions for the coming year. The problem is, I am rarely correct.

You want an example of how wrong I can be? Last year, I predicted Michael Vick would become just a footnote in Eagles’ history. If I had been around 150 years ago, I would have predicted Lincoln would not have been re-elected and James Buchanan would be remembered as our greatest president. Sorry, no predictions.

Another option would be to recount all of the great times I have had on New Year’s Eve. Alas, those would be largely a figment of my imagination. In fact, I was without a date so often that the only reason my wife agreed to marry me was out of New Year’s Eve pity. One memorable year, I had a date and splurged on reservations. My date canceled.

I then bought a ticket to a party at a private club on South Broad Street where a buddy promised to meet me and we would troll for women together. I showed up. He didn’t. Everyone at the party had a date.

I went home and was in bed before midnight. Needless to say, this column will not be about my great experiences greeting the new year.

I am a great believer in “the past is prologue to the future.” I will concentrate on the news stories that usher us out of ’10 as they may be key to what the new year holds.

Terrorists have apparently tired of screwing up air travel just as we spent a couple of trillion dollars on body scanners. It is being reported their new target will be salad bars and all-you-can-eat buffets.

The terrorists plan to poison this most important of America’s food source in malls everywhere. Apparently, the Chinese Buffet in my area will be serving fried ricin rather than rice and I would be especially careful eating the bacon bits at Salad Alley in the future. ...

We are cracking down on commercial fishermen who are hacking shark’s fins, which are used to make a delicacy called shark fin soup, and tossing the sharks back into the water. Campbell’s is complaining because it was planning to come out with a chunky version, with sea salt no less.

Frogs want to know why is it OK to take their legs and not OK to hack off the fins of a shark? Shark fin soup is very costly because only Richard Dreyfus would volunteer to hack off the fins of a great white.

Uncle Nunzi says it is the same reason that buffalo mozzarella is so expensive.

No one wants to milk a buffalo. ...

Have you heard about the problems with the new Broadway show “Spider-Man: Turn on the Dark?” This is the most expensive show ever to hit Broadway, primarily because of the medical premiums.

At one time or another, the entire cast has been hospitalized. Do we really need another show or film about a cartoon character? Did Broadway run out of Charles Dickens’ novels to produce? ...

They have solved the problem of not paying Christmas bonuses to Wall Street executives by raising their base salaries by $200,000. I don’t want to say that Wall Street bribed Congress to allow this latest outrage, but I understand Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sponsored the loophole and named it the Gordon Gecko Law. ...

I am so grateful that the court struck down the mandate in Obamacare that you have get health care coverage. Republicans had warned the mandate might lead to the government requiring Americans to eat it. Is that what they mean about America going green? I am OK with the broccoli stems, it’s just those little florets that won’t go down very easily. In fact, I’d rather appear before a death panel than eat broccoli. Uncle Nunzi tells me that in Italy the government already requires them to eat broccoli rabe, and no one is upset. ...

I am very interested in seeing what kind of sensitivity training the Pentagon gives the troops now that “don’t ask, don’t tell” has been repealed. I suggest regular showings of “La Cage aux Folles” at base theaters. Perhaps they can come up with something a little brighter than olive drab for the uniforms? ...

I’m wondering when Fox News will run a banner that reads: Socialist president cuts taxes for the wealthy? ...

Poor Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.

He is so easily misunderstood by the liberal media in the North. He made an off-the cuff comment about how the White Citizens Council in Yazoo, where he was born and raised, kept the town folks from joining the KKK. Barbour may have a point because the very definition of liberalism in Yazoo is not dressing in a sheet and a pointy hat. I hear that, unlike the Klan, the Council didn’t burn a cross on your lawn unless they were making S’mores.

So is it time to sing “Auld Lang Syne” yet, and what the hell does “Auld Lang Syne” mean anyway? SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

‘Rabbit’ doesn’t miss a step

Becca Corbett (Nicole Kidman), left, and her husband, Howie (Aaron Eckhart), cope with the loss of their young son, Danny.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

W

ith their intimate scales, intense focus and unadulterated writing and acting, movies based on stage plays are often hot tickets to superior drama. For recent evidence, look to “Closer,” “Doubt,” “Frost/Nixon” and, now, “Rabbit Hole,” the graceful and nearfaultless screen rendering of David Lindsay-Abaire’s 2006 Pultizer Prize-winner.

Intuitively directed by well-chosen stage vet John Cameron Mitchell (“Hedwig and the Angry Inch”) and adapted by Lindsay-Abaire himself, the film zeros in on a couple grieving the loss of their young son, and manages humor without sacrificing an ounce of wrenching heartbreak.

Nicole Kidman, who also produced, plays the wife and mother, Becca, whose method of coping involves ceaselessly trudging forward with tunnel vision. Never without an objective to distract from her paralyzing inner thoughts, she allows her selfish grief to infect nearly every situation she encounters. Kidman is excellent in the role, her best since ’02’s “The Hours.” She approaches Becca without judgment, baring her flaws while making her deeply sympathetic. Aaron Eckhart is also superb as Becca’s husband, Howie, who by contrast processes the tragedy by clinging to every memory — memories he believes Becca is trying to erase.

The two parents each have an affair, of sorts, to help them learn to live again — without their boy and with each other. At the support group that Becca can’t stand, Howie strikes up a relationship with a longtime attendee (Sandra Oh), while Becca, in the film’s most achingly emotional scenes, befriends a teenager (Miles Teller) coping

with his own inner pain. The material takes care to let these connections reach richly satisfying ends, and offers some beautiful surprises along the way.

Mitchell, who also draws a fine supporting turn from Dianne Wiest, displays the same humanistic strengths he put to such wonderful use in “Hedwig” and ’06’s “Shortbus.” He unfortunately lets slip two back-to-back scenes in which Kidman and Eckhart slightly overplay their characters’ shortcomings, but he mainly stages a behaviorally insightful, surprisingly funny and wisely understated snapshot of life as it’s healing. Bravo.

Rabbit Hole PG-13 Three-and-a-half reels out of four Now playing at the Ritz 5

Recommended Rental Catfish PG-13 Available Tuesday Not nearly as clever or crucial as it thinks it is, but still worthy of your undivided attention, the secrecy-shrouded, possiblybogus documentary “Catfish” plays on the fears, and explores the dark corners, of our constant electronic connection. A layered mystery, its surprises aren’t at all what you’re expecting, which is the very best thing to be said about it.

MUMMERS GUIDE Happy New Year to all of our family & friends This year’s Pirate Club theme is dedicated to Anthony Masino who marched in the Mummers Parade with various comic clubs for 60 years. In 1969, he marched in a brigade consisting of fathers and sons from 2nd St. with Bill Leiferst as the Captain, whose wife Eleanor made the famous “Baker Suits.”

20 years later in 1989, Froggy Carr’s Captain Mike Mackin asked Tony to once again wear the Baker Suit to celebrate their theme of “Mickey Mouse’s 60th Birthday,” for which they won first prize for Comic Brigade. Tony marched as the baker with his sons and The Pirates until a few years ago. After Tony’s passing, The Pirates changed their theme and their suits in order to honor his legacy.

ately, it has been so cold outside that leaving the comforts of home sounds like a very bad idea. Who wants to deal with all of the snow and 40-mile-per-hour wind gusts? The key to making the great indoors an enjoyable experince is stocking the pantry and fridge up with food. Karen Griffith’s Impossible Cream Cheese Pie, for instance, could easily last a few days — as long as you don’t invite over too much company.

The resident of Front and Mifflin streets adds a little coconut to her recipe. After a 55-minute stay in the oven, the slicing can begin. Just remember to leave some leftovers. SPR

Karen’s Impossible Cream Cheese Pie INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs, beaten 1/2 stick of butter 1/2 cup of Bisquick 2 cups of milk 3/4 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla lla 8 ounces of cream cheese 1 can of course coconut

Doma

By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

W

hile leafing through the “2011 Zagat Guide,” I realized there’s been a boom in the number of restaurants which have opened in the Fairmount neighborhood. Visitors to the Art Museum or Academy of Natural Sciences can walk across the parkway and discover all kinds of cuisines.

Doma is one of the area’s newest additions. It is Japanese/Korean and I looked forward to a hearty lunch on a blustery day with my friend Jim. The restaurant is BYOB. I rarely have a glass of wine or beer during the day, but Jim and I wanted to toast the upcoming New Year. I brought a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa. I knew its crisp, grassy almost grapefruit-like flavors would marry well with the Asian fare.

The interior is bright and modern. A banquette runs the length of one wall and there’s a small sushi bar as well. Our server brought an ice bucket for the wine.

Jim and I took a sip and toasted to good health.

Lunch began with a large, square white bowl filled with salted edamame in their pods ($4). The portion could’ve easily served four people. We munched happily away as we tried to decide which dishes we wanted to sample. Everything sounded so good.

Jim has a sense of adventure when it comes to trying new foods. He tasted his first Moroccan dishes with me. On another occasion, he admitted he really enjoyed our Indian meal in October.

“I like sushi,” he said. “Although I like shrimp, I prefer some beef.”

With this in mind, we began lunch with kalbi skewers ($7), which consisted of two skewers of marinated chargrilled Korean beef short ribs and scallions. The meat was filled with a smoky flavor and was so tender that it was easy for me to simply pull it from its stick and enjoy with chopsticks. Beef and scallion makes for a tasty marriage in all Asian cuisines and this dish did not disappoint. A small bundle of frisée sat in the middle of the plate.

Although I wanted to try the shrimp shumai, Jim preferred the pork. Wasabi pork shumai ($6) were four plump dumplings filled with seasoned pork. The wrappers were homemade and light. A dab of Asian mustard, which looked like and had the consistency of peanut butter was so delicious, I continued to eat it plain with the tip of my chop stick. Some julienned pickled turnip and a ramekin of ginger/soy vinaigrette beautifully enhanced the dumplings.

Jim and I decided on a hot roll and sushi.

“Have you ever tried eel?” I asked.

“No, but I am willing to give it a try,” Jim said.

Dragon roll ($12) was fashioned from top-quality eel, cool cucumber and sliced avocado wrapped in a crunchy tempura and topped with a slightly sweet tobiko glaze. I hesitated as I watched Jim pop a piece into his mouth.

“This is really good,” he said as his blue eyes lit up.

“Next time, we will try it raw,” I said.

Doma, a new BYOB in the Fairmount neighborhood, offers Japanese and Korean fare including sushi.

S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

This roll was perfectly prepared. The combination of flavors, colors and textures was on the mark. The six-roll portion was generous as well.

Tuna is a favorite so we tried something new. The sushi chefs at Doma make a crunchy spicy tuna roll ($6.50) which was a tasty surprise. Although wrapped in sushi rice, the addition of panko bread crumbs was added for the crunch and the tuna packed a bit of a kick. We dipped the roll into soy sauce and simply let the flavors come to life in our mouths. Sliced ginger and wasabi was obviously included, but I preferred the mustard. So did Jim who admitted he is not too fond of wasabi.

Service was excellent. Our waiter took fine care of us and Doma’s other patrons.

He filled our water glasses, served and

cleared with ease and paced our meal to a T. We were never rushed.

Doma is a marvelous addition to the Fairmount neighborhood. Our waiter told us the restaurant delivers within a fourblock radius.

Three tips of the toque to Doma. SPR

Summoned by the

Sugar Plum Fairy

After taking in the classic ballet “The Nutcracker,” one might be inspired to create a Land of Sweets. These recipes from “Hot Toddies” by Christopher B. O’Hara could satisfy the craving.

By Phyllis Stein-Novack

Food Columnist

■ Mulled Wine ■ Ingredients:

Directions: In a large saucepan, warm the wine over medium heat until steam begins to rise

Note: Refrigerate the mulled wine for 24 hours to really let the flavors come together. Before serving, warm it on the stove for about 10 minutes.

■ Candy Cane Cocoa ■ Ingredients: 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup of sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract Pinch of salt 3-1/2 cups whole milk 1/2 cup of heavy cream 4 ounces of créme de menthe 4 candy canes 1 cup of heavy cream, chilled 4 candy canes, for garnish

Directions: To make the cocoa, combine 1/2 cup of water with the cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla and salt in a heavy saucepan. Place it over low heat. Whisking frequently, cook until the mixture is smooth. In a separate pot, combine the milk and cream and heat until just boiling. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the chocolate paste and blend completely. Keep warm.

To make the peppermint whip cream,

place the candy canes into a doubled plastic bag and pound with a rolling pin until finely pulverized. In a medium bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks, then fold in the peppermint pieces.

To serve, pour an ounce of créme de menthe into a mug and top off with the cocoa. Stir then garnish with the peppermint whipped cream and a candy cane stirrer.

Serves four.

■ Orange Spiced Tea ■ Ingredients: 1 orange, sliced in half 5 whole cloves Peel of half a lemon 2 cinnamon sticks 4 tea bags of black tea 4 teaspoons sugar

Directions: Stud one half of the orange with the cloves and set the other half aside for later.

Place the studded orange half in a square of cheesecloth along with the lemon peel and cinnamon sticks, and tie with kitchen string. Place the tea bags and spice sachet into a warmed teapot.

In a separate pot, bring three cups of water to a boil, pour into teapot and allow to steep for at least three minutes. Remove the tea bags and sachet and pour the tea into warm mugs with one teaspoon of sugar stirred into each.

Serve with ginger snaps.

Serves four. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

S O U T h p h illyreview . c o m 3 1

2 750-mL bottles of full-bodied dry red wine 1 cup of packed brown sugar 6 ounces of orange juice, no pulp 2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon of ground cloves 12 whole cloves 10 cardamom seeds

from the surface, about seven minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients. Reduce to the lowest possible heat and, stirring frequently, keep the mixture warm for about 20 minutes, or until the sugar is completely melted and the spices have fully integrated. Do not let the mixture boil — this will give the juice a “cooked” flavor.

Strain and serve immediately.

Serves ten.

SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I december 30, 2010

he Nutcracker” is America’s most beloved ballet. Each year during the holiday season, dance companies from coast-to-coast present this delicious confection. It also is performed in London, Paris, Berlin and Moscow.

I do not know how many times I have savored the Pennsylvania Ballet’s production of George Balanchine’s classic story.

As a child, I longed to be a ballerina. My feet still bear the brunt of pointe shoes. In 1999, Jeffrey Gribler, Pennsylvania Ballet’s ballet master, granted me my wish and let me perform. He created the role of the governess just for me.

I cannot describe the thrill of donning a long Victorian costume and making my entrance onto the stage at The Academy of Music. Memories are flooding back. I am getting goose bumps as I write this.

“The Nutcracker,” which runs through tomorrow, is a two-act ballet. It is filled with food and drink. The first act is the party scene where the adults are drinking and toasting. Herr Drosselmeyer cracks walnuts using the nutcracker doll and tosses them to the excited children. In Act II, The Sugar Plum Fairy leads us to the Land of the Sweets. A sugar plum is a small confection, often consisting of fruit such as a candied cherry or dried apricot, surrounded by fondant.

The Sugar Plum Fairy summons the dancers who represent hot chocolate, coffee, tea, candy canes, marzipan shepherdesses and Mother Ginger and her gaggle of children who emerge from her big hoop

skirt. The role is played by a tall man.

I have been writing about Pennsylvania Ballet for many years. At one of this year’s matinee performance I was treated to a rare delight. William DeGregory, who danced with the company for many years before retiring from the stage and is married to ballet mistress Tamara Hadley, performed Herr Drosselmeyer with poise and expressive hands. His acting was less sinister than others who have acted the role before him.

The real delight was watching Ian Hussey, who was recently promoted to soloist with the company. I remember him as a boy dancing the role of the young prince. Now he is the Cavalier, the Sugar Plum Fairy’s partner. He has grown and matured into an accomplished dancer and will continue to enthrall us in the years to come.

Enjoy these recipes I associated with “The Nutcracker.” They are from “Hot Toddies” by Christopher B. O’Hara.

Lonely is the home without you.

Life to us is not the same; All the world would be like heaven, If we could have you back again.

A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our borne, That never can be filled.

May the God of Love and Mercy, Care our loved one who is gone, And bless with consolation, those left to carry on.

The happy hours we once enjoyed, How sweet their memory still, But death has left a vacant place, This world can never fill.

How dearly we loved you, And prayed you might live, But Jesus Just beckoned, And we had to give.

God gave us strength to bear it, And courage to fight the blow, What it has meant to lose you, God alone will ever know.

A star-studded year

State titles and No. 1 seeds in the Big Dance only begin to tell the story of a memorable year of local sports.

By Alvaro Balderas Review Intern

T

he athletic achievements of 2010 were hard to forget. The NeumannGoretti boys’ basketball team made program and school history by bringing home its first-ever PIAA championship.

Other hoopsters with local ties were shinning in the national spotlight when the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament came around in March. Two elevated their games by practicing with the NBA elite prior to the Basketball World Championships.

Neumann-Goretti seniors Tony Chennault, center, and Daniel Stewart won their secondstraight Catholic League title by thumping Archbishop Carroll, 75-59, at The Palestra. The Saints also claimed City and State titles.

There were plenty of farewells including Neumann- Goretti girls’ basketball coach Chip Reitano and Bok’s football and baseball coach Tom DeFelice.

Of course we can’t forget NCAA men’s basketball legend Jim Phelan coming back home to be inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame.

These are just some of the highlights.

Here’s a look back at ‘10:

ship. But the 30-year-old lost via technical knockout to undefeated Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa.

On the hardwood, Neumann-Goretti senior Michaila Hatty, of Front of Roseberry streets, announced that she would be continuing her college career at Marylandbased Washington College.

January

Packer Park native Kyle Eckel laced up his cleats for the eventual Super Bowl champions New Orleans Saints, who defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17.

Local ballers garnered recognition with their respective top-25 squads just as March Madness approached. Included in the mix were Prep Charter grads Marcus and Markieff Morris at the University of Kansas, as well as Syracuse University’s Rick Jackson and Scoop Jardine hailing from Neumann-Goretti.

The Anderson Monarchs, based out of 18th and Fitzwater streets, 12-and-under girls’ soccer team opened the year in Orlando, Fla., and made their national tournament debut.

Rogers “The Tiger” Mtagwa, from the 1800 block of South Taylor Street, returned to the Mecca of Boxing for a shot at the WBA featherweight champion-

February

March In high school basketball the NeumannGoretti boys’ squad won its second-straight Catholic League crown by defeating the defending state champions Archbishop Carroll, 75-59. The senior-laden squad nabbed its fourth title in six years, and sixth overall in coach Carl Arrigale’s 11year tenure at 10th and Moore streets.

While many of the area high school girls’ basketball teams had already turned in their uniforms, the Prep Charter Lady Huskies were hard at work making final preparations for their PIAA Class AAA opening-round clash against Malvern-

based Villa Maria Academy.

Athletes with local ties entered this year’s NCAA Tournament with expectations of being the last team standing in Indianapolis. The Morris twins went into the tourney ranked as the Midwest Region’s No. 1 seed with the Kansas Jayhawks. Neumann-Goretti grads Rick Jackson and Scoop Jardine and their Syracuse Orange earned a similar distinction as the West Region’s No. 1 seed.

The Neumann-Goretti boys’ basketball team received a plethora of attention throughout the season as a top-10 team in several national polls. It all culminated with a program-first PIAA Class AAA championship. The Saints’ latest crowning moment came in the form of a 65-63 victory over Chartiers Valley.

April Chip Reitano knew after his first practice as the Neumann-Goretti girls basketball coach back in 2000 that it was the start of something special. A decade later, he stepped down 125 career wins and sixstraight Catholic League playoff appearances — both of which are all-time marks for the program.

After spending the past decade together, Neumann-Goretti seniors Al Baur, Mark Donato and Michael Riverso and their coach Lou Spadaccini were preparing to close out their journey with the perfect ending — a state championship.

Area youngsters traded passes, jump shots and lay-ups with players from Division I schools at Neumann-Goretti High School. The Philly Girls Got Game hosted its debut event with about 150 girls representing South Philadelphia middle continued on page 38

Three years removed from being timid prey for their Public League foes, the Furness Falcons football team reversed their fortunes by pouncing on the Mastbaum Panthers, 21-0, which was the team’s second-straight shutout victory.

Neumann-Goretti senior Lamin Fulton

After 42 years at a Passyunk Square school, renowned teacher and coach Tom DeFelice announced the current school year would be his last. The 64-year-old football coach at Bok amassed 129 victories, including 43 straight Public League regular season triumphs over 18 seasons.

World-class athlete Ryan Whiting demonstrated his abilities to local student-athletes from Bok and Neumann-Goretti. The Harrisburg native who dominated discus and shot put competitions during his decorated career at Arizona State University talked about his desire throw the shot put in the next Olympic Games.

Penn Charter junior and Packer Park resident Kenny Koplove accepted an athletic scholarship to Duke University hoping to enhance his skills and extend his family’s diamond legacy.

Nigeria’s Omowumi Rafiu came to the United States in July to become a student at Neumann-Goretti and the small forward for the girls’ varsity basketball team.

With dreams of a Catholic League championship, the baller averaged more than 11 points through her first six contests. SPR

SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I DECEMBER 30, 2010

A year removed from its first-ever playoff game, the girls’ soccer team at Neumann-Goretti started its quest for continued good fortune, with hopes of building on the program’s initial playoff splash.

With most of his core players returning, coach Jim McBride was looking to build on last season’s six victories.

Central High School sophomore and local resident DreShaun Jarmon delivered big, defeating three tennis legends in a target-hitting competition at the Billie Jean National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. This year, success clung to the Delaware Valley 12-and-under Senators. Over a seven-month span, the youngsters collected 51 wins in 63 games, competed against teams from eight states and collected four tournament titles. Their journey concluded with an appearance at a prestigious invitational tournament and a trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown, N.Y. Mark Hatty, an ’07 Neumann-Goretti grad inherited the starting quarterback role for the Delaware Valley College Aggies and led his squad to victories in two of its first three games.

Hundreds of local Catholic school children enjoyed more than two dozen sports and nearly a dozen fitness-related challenges at the Nintendo Wii Fitness Lab. Neumann-Goretti became the first institution in the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia to integrate simulated athletic action into its curriculum.

Iga Kopiec, a John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School junior, moved to South Philadelphia from Krakow, Poland in August. She adjusted to her new culture by qualifying for the PIAA AAA Girls’ CrossCountry Championships in Hershey.

Jim Phelan proved Philadelphia’s nickname, “The City That Loves You Back,” has no statute of limitations when he returned home for enshrinement into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame’s seventh class.

Local ballers prepared to make some noise in their upcoming college basketball season, including 12 from Ss. NeumannGoretti, six from Prep Charter, three from GAMP, two from South Philly High and one for Center City’s Roman Catholic High School.

Neumann-Goretti and Southern high schools looked beyond their losing seasons to score a Thanksgiving triumph in the 76th annual Turkey Bowl. The Saints once again prevailed, 6-0.

The local boys of Delaware Valley Senators based at 18th and Johnston finished their first year of competitive ball with two tournament titles.
