anta’s big white beard owed over his shoulders as he sprinted on hockey skates from one end of Rizzo Rink, 1001 S. Front St., to the other, ice shavings ying into the boards as he came to an abrupt stop. A couple dozen skaters parted the ice to encourage the race and cheer on old St. Nick.

Santa turned up for a good cause — beating can-

cer. The night was put together by Broad Spectrum Sports’ Rob Giannone, 23, and Danny Riccardi, 23, who have been making an active effort to put a good and charitable face to their growing media network. Their second annual “Holiday Relay at Rizzo” occurred Saturday night and raised $2,000 that will go toward the American Cancer Society’s South Philadelphia chapter.

Nearly 50 area residents and New Jersey visitors came out for the cause, snacking on provided pretzels and hot cocoa. The $15 admission fee went

towards skate rentals and afforded entrants raffle tickets to drop into cups stationed in front of a bounty of donated gift baskets and prize packages.

“We like to give back to the community, and this is our marquee event,” Giannone, one of the co-owners of Broad Spectrum Sports, a collective media effort they call “an independently-owned Philadelphia sports network,” explained.

He and his co-captain are fixtures at the rink, See RIZZO RINK page 10 >>

Ready to lead These five youngsters earned seats at the Fancy Brigades Finale Family Showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judging table by submitting responses to: If you could be a Fancy Brigade Captain, what would be some of the rules you would make to help your club win the top prize?

Three-step plan If I could be a Fancy Brigade Captain, some of the rules I would establish would involve practice, costumes and props, and restrictions on drinking at events. The top three rules would be: (1) Practice three times a week.

These practices would officially start in September. This would ensure that we are very well prepared for the big day.

(2) Begin working on getting the costumes designed and made early, so we are not scrambling near

the end of the year.

(3) Restrictions on drinking at events. Parties, pep rallies and parades are all a time for entertaining and fun. However, sometimes drinking causes problems. Therefore, putting a restriction, such as specific times to drink, would hopefully prevent unwanted situations, and make the events much more fun and enjoyable.

In summary, these are some of the rules that I would enforce, if I was a Fancy Brigade Captain.

Anthony McTighe 13 South Philadelphia

have to be strict, but you must have rules. If I were a captain my rules would be that you would have to go to every practice or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of the club. I know it sounds harsh, but you would do it if you want to get somewhere.

Another would be the week before the show [there would be] no unhealthy eating, and for the adults, no intoxicating drinks.

You to make sure there well rested and ready for the show.

Cameron Strickland Age 13 South Philadelphia

Science of success In my wildest dreams to take my club to first place would be the dancing, props and skill. It will be wonderful to have a theme like mad scientists with crazy hair working on their scheme to take over the world! There are good scientists on the other side trying to defeat the bad scientists.

I have to work hard to make the judges understand my theme. The evil scientists are wearing white science coats and wild hair. The

A tall order Being the captain of a fancy brigade has always been a dream of mine. Watching the Fancy Brigade on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s [Day] has always been the highlight of my day. If I were captain of a Fancy Brigade I would do whatever to takes to make sure that my team would win the top prize. To make my team win, I would work on the lineup of people. Everyone would be organized by height. The taller people would be in the back and the shorter people would be in the front.

Addison-Jaymes Dawkins South Philadelphia

Attention to detail If I was captain, this is what I think would help my club win a top prize. First I would try to convince the city to let us march up Broad Street. This way we can bring the heart back into the club.

Then I would have the costumes be bright, and eye-catching. The theme would have to be something that is going on now or something that you know people would enjoy. Then have the music loud and proud with great dancing. The backdrop and scenes would be greatly detailed.

Christmas catastrophe Faulty wiring sparked a fire that affected three Lower Moyamensing homes.

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

A

n evening usually reserved for revelry turned regrettable Christmas Day. Authorities rushed to 2511 S. Percy St. around 8 p.m. to deal with a blaze that Captain Clifford Gilliam said resulted from non-permanent electrical wiring. The personnel required 32 minutes to control the flames, which also damaged 2513 and 2515 S. Percy St. Gilliam added that the incident led his department to enlist the American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania to assist the displaced individuals, the number of which he could not confirm.

No cure for crime A masked offender made off with money, a phone and medication in East Passyunk Crossing Friday.

At 5:36 p.m., the figure entered Zevin’s Pharmacy, 800 McKean St., and pulled out a silver handgun to facilitate demands for money and a medication, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A witness gave him $200 from the cash register, with another endowing him with an unidentified medication.

He then ordered the two to give up their wallets and cell phones, which they did, with the first parting with a black LG phone and the second losing $65. He instructed them to lie on the floor before exiting the location in an undetermined direction, Tolliver said.

The victims described him as black, 5-foot-10, 130 pounds and 20 to 25 years old; having a thin build; and wearing a black mask and gloves, a light to dark blue vest jacket, a gray hoodie, dark jeans and tan boots.

To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Pushy patron An aggressive individual resorted to pushing a Lower Moyamensing store owner and her daughter Saturday.

The offender ventured to Joe’s Food Market, 2655 S. Juniper St., at 12:45 p.m. and asked to purchase cigarettes, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The attendant inquired about his age, leading him to put the items down and make a brief exit from the establishment.

Returning to grab a soda, he walked over to the counter, which he ventured behind to push the complainant down, demanding money from her, Tolliver said. The worker’s daughter observed the incident and received instructions from her mother to run outside for help. Bolting from the store, the would-be thief pushed the girl out of his way and headed eastbound on Oregon Avenue then northbound on Watts Street.

The complainant described him as either a light complected black or Hispanic, 18 to 20 years old and 5-foot-10; and wearing a green and orange, possibly yellow, checkered scarf, a white scarf to cover his face, a black jacket and either cream or tan pants.

To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

The ties that bind At least three offenders rid a man of multiple possessions in Grays Ferry last week.

Parking his 2007 black Honda Accord two-door Sedan on the 1300 block of South Corlies Street at 9:15 p.m. Dec. 23, the complainant had an unknown man approach him from behind, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The stranger barked “Don’t move!” and applied the barrel of a gun to the victim’s neck, resulting in his receiving $250, a phone and the car keys from his prey.

Once he forced the complainant to bend down, the aggressor noticed more money in his back pocket and delivered several barrel blows to his head. At least two more men came up to the victim, fastened plastic flex ties on his wrists, which had already been behind his back, and demanded him to close his eyes, Tolliver said. They fled in an unknown direction, with the man soon freeing himself and returning to where his car had been parked after going home. When he arrived at the parking spot, he found the attackers had stolen his automobile.

He had no detailed description of the men who bound him but described the gun holder as black, 5-foot-6; and wearing dark clothing, a dark hoodie and a black mask.

Factory (re)made residences ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

S

ince 2005, the massive Brush Factory at the corners of 12th and Jackson Streets has remained empty and idle. Broken windows grace the structure that lies between 12th and Iseminger Streets and Jackson Street and Snyder Avenue.

It seems, developer Tony Rufu, Jr. has a plan for what to do with his Lower Moyamensing-based holding. He shared those details for the proposed Artisan Lofts with about 80 residents at the December 18th meeting held at Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St. With architect Anthony Tsirantonkakis of T + Associates by his side, the duo presented a plan to convert the building into 164 “luxury” apartment rentals.

In the first of what is expected to be several meetings, the group shared a slide show of the proposed plan with potential onsite amenities expected to include a 24-hour fitness center and possibly a green roof.

Todd Schwartz, vice president and chair of zoning and planning for the Lower Moyamensing Civic Asociation, concurred that residential units appear to be the best use of the property.

“I also believe that because the site utilizes the excellent public transportation infrastructure the impact of increased automobile traffic will be minimal,” he said.

It is located on the 23 bus line and two blocks from the Broad Street Subway.

Also, the 4, 58 and 47 bus lines are a short walk away.

In addition to the apartments, the plans call for 62 parking spaces (bicycle, motorcycle, scooter and Car Share parking, too) and a 24-hour doorman. The total is within the city’s new zoning rules for parking, which requires one parking space for every three units.

THE BRUSH FACTORY first opened in 1926, and operated as the Lieberman Brush Factory. In 1969, Best Liebco (a subsidiary of Sherwin Williams) bought the factory that produced paint brushes until its ’05 closing, laying off 55 workers.

More recently, the blight surrounding the building has become an eyesore among local residents hence attracting negative attention from the City’s Department of Licenses and Inspections. According to published reports, the property was cited for having hundreds of boarded or missing windows in violation of the ‘doors and windows’ ordinance (which authorizes the Blight Court to impose a fine of up to $300

The former Brush Factory at the corner of 12th and Jackson streets could soon see its dilapidated look transformed into a luxurious property being dubbed the Artisan Lofts.

S ta f f P h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

An abandoned Lower Moyamensing industrial space is slated to become “high-end” apartments per day, per opening).

“It’s a pretty active neighborhood,” Dina Scioli, of the 1000 block of Daly Street, said. “They just neglected it.”

The mother of two rents within a stone’s throw of the corner in question, but said she wouldn’t mind seeing something done about the space in need. She reported reading about “knockout game” activities going down near the Factory, a post she found on the Facebook page for Taking Our South Philadelphia Streets Back.

Sarah Slawski, a close factory neighbor and resident of the 2100 block of South 12th Street, was present at the rezoning presentation and said her primary concern is getting the space moving towards renovation and away from idolatry.

“They dump their trash, there are drug exchanges, and there’s no one to watch,”

she explained. “It’s a dark space and there are good street lights, but that’s not good enough. The graffiti is abundant and they won’t go above what they can reach [as she pointed toward a collection scribbles].”

The immediate area has both mainstays and empty spaces waiting to be converted.

Epiphany of Our Lord Church, 1121 Jackson St., is an anchor of the neighborhood, as is the nearby Our Lady of Hope Catholic School, 1248 Jackson St. There also is an empty Superior Plumbing space, 1218 Snyder Ave., rumored to be slated for conversion into a beer distributor.

The Brush Factory renovation is in pretty good company with a handful of other redevelopment and reuse projects in different phases of planning and execution: The Wharton Street Lofts, 1148 Wharton St., (formerly the Annunciation B.V.M. School)

has commenced leasing; the old Mt. Sinai building on the 400 block of Reed Street just saw redevelopment plans to turn it into 38 townhouses and 198 apartments; and a couple weeks ago, the Philadelphia Zoning Board approved variances for 75 townhomes (and 75 parking spaces) to be built in Queen Village at Columbus Boulevard and Swanson Street.

With plans just now being discussed at LoMo zoning meetings, it’s too soon to put a completion time line on the project. The Artisan Lofts’ groundbreaking could still be several months into the future.

Schwartz is hopeful that an aesthetic facelift and an influx of young money will bolster the neighborhood.

“While the project is still in the initial phase, as permits and zoning need to be secured, the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association will engage the community and developer to ensure that there is a positive impact on the neighborhood,” he said.

RIZZO RINK

continued from page 1 coaching one of the four very popular 8- to 10-year-old in-house teams.

Giannone’s been more of a Jersey-based roller-hockey enthusiast, but Riccardi’s a local who played hockey for Ss. Neumann Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. The latter figure, a resident of the 900 block of Moore Street and the youngest of three brothers, laughed as he confessed the Saints had a history of fighting that stalled the program and earned it a suspension or two.

“I don’t think they have a team anymore,” he said of his alma mater.

But there was no fighting in the rink on this night. Last year, their first event yielded a stellar $4,000 donation towards finding a cure for cancer. But their enthusiasm for this kind of contribution to the cause, by involving the community and soliciting loads of donated goods and space, is unwavering despite a slightly smaller amount raised Saturday.

“Learning from last year, our operational and budgeting costs allowed us to contribute a much larger percentage of the proceeds this year to Relay For Life,” Giannone said in a post-mortem summary of the night. “So based on the things we did well and areas for improvement from both this year and last, you can count on the third annual ‘Holiday Relay at Rizzo’ being the best one yet!”

“WE WANT TO put strength behind what we say and what we do,” Broad Spectrum Sports’ Twitter czar Sean Betesh said.

“We have a much bigger purpose behind what we do; we’re not just some Twitter handle or blog,” he said.

Broad Spectrum’s team is comprised of bloggers and writers who are passionate about local sports but want to do more than just write about it. With the inclusion of a commitment to community involvement and charity, they’re a team with a mission beyond media.

It all started in 2009 with the Orange Update, a Flyers-only blog that’s now just one of five entities encapsulated in the BSS umbrella. They concentrated on Flyers coverage, earning a coveted pair of seats in the Wells Fargo Center press box, 3601 S. Broad St., until spring ’11 when they kicked off the Buzz on Broad, a blog that turned its eye on all four Philadelphia teams with Phielders Choice, a Phils blog; I-76ers, an NBA-themed feed; and Total Sports Live for college athletics.

“They’re going to get bigger,” South Jersey’s Kerry Denesha, who was holding her son Zander, a 3-year-old who became the beneficiary of one of BSS’s first Facebook

contests, said.

The contest solicited letters that explained why they should get to meet Flyers captain Claude Giroux. Denesha penned a letter from her then 1-year-old son’s perspective, and it won.

“They set us up in a booth and gave him an autographed puck,” the proud mother said of the Dec. 19 game against the Columbus Blue Jackets that featured a fivegoal third-period outburst from the home team to score a 5-4 win. “Ever since then I’ve come to every event.”

She’s not a supporter, though, just because the organization got the lifelong Flyers fan to a game. She’s proud of everything they’re accomplishing as a collective bent on charity and salutes their commu-

nity work, especially for kids.

“To say that we were here from the beginning is not something he or I will regret,” Denesha said.

Betesh proudly cited a few landmark growth spurts the collective’s witnessed in the recent past.

“We’ve grown. We had around 1,300 [followers] before the [NHL] lockout [at the end of 2012],” the social media hound, whose peers have since eclipsed the 3,000-followers mark, reported.

For a while they were recognized for their Flyers podcasts, getting retweeted and shouted out on the radio for their interviews that featured call-ins and studio visits from actor David Boreanaz, Tony Bruno from 97.5, Lauren Hart (the Flyers’ “Star ■ Parkway Central Branch: Bibliophiladelphia through Jan. 3; LEGO Club 3:30 p.m. Jan. 2; Baby and Toddler Storytime 11 a.m. and Monday Poets 6:30 p.m. Jan. 6; Winter Preschool Storytime 11 a.m. Jan. 7; Debt Management and Reverse Mortgages 6 p.m. Jan. 8. 1901 Vine St. 215-686-5322.

Part of what’s inspiring about this collective is that they do it all on their own time. Everyone involved does it as a side gig after, essentially, working 9 to 5. But it seems like, at least for Riccardi, a local commitment to Rizzo Rink and the community around it runs in the family.

“My dad coached for years,” he said.

“I played for years here, and my brothers played here. I’ve been volunteer coaching since I was 14.”

The occasion also honored friends and family who’ve passed as cancer victims, one of whom being Giannone’s maternal grandmother. He and his team’s charitable efforts don’t just sit on the laurels of the annual Rizzo Rink event — BSS’ spring Relay For Life Walk team was the No. 1 team for donation collection.

“Last year, their team raised around $2,500 for the Relay For Life cause. As I’m sure you can already tell, they work very hard,” Michelle Rumbaugh, the South Philadelphia Chapter of Relay for Life’s president, said. “Danny and Rob are both great guys who are very dedicated to the Relay For Life cause. They are an asset to the Relay For Life committee. Their help and commitment to this cause really means a lot.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117. Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

Her sort of site A Dickinson Square West native has made her Passyunk Square laundromat a haven for art.

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

H

aving helmed the Tenth Street Laundromat, 114143 S. 10th St., since 2000, Lisa Budnick feels she has become an anchor for the entire block, with showing enthusiasm for the well-being of her patrons as important as offering them reliable washers and dryers. For the last seven years, the former Dickinson Square West dweller has complemented her cleanliness crusade with art exhibitions, with the location’s current show featuring the efforts of developmentally challenged individuals.

“Many other laundromats, as a matter of fact, are dreary, so I wanted something different,” the one-time inhabitant of the 500 block of Mifflin Street and present Fairmount resident said last week at her Passyunk Square establishment. “I think it’s great to look at the spirit of the work and fall in love with the colors. They make it feel comfortable and homey here, and that’s important to me.”

The proprietor recently aligned herself with the Callowhillsituated Oasis Art Center and proudly displays nearly 50

S t a f f p h o t o b y K at h r y n P o o l e

LIFESTYLES pieces from its participants. Through Jan. 31, inspecting the works will serve as an alternative to fiddling with phones while one waits for cycles to finish, with Budnick thrilled to showcase the contributors’ vibrant creativity and encourage artistic altruism.

“I contend that these exhibitions build morale,” the enthusiast, who finds most compelling creations that are beautiful, colorful and peaceful, said. “I want for them to improve the community vibe and help people out of whatever doldrums they’re experiencing.”

In seeking to scour negativity from the environs, Budnick has looked to make many connections, with the Oasis bond coming through her sister. She mixes permanent and temporary compositions, with the latter enlightening customers for as many as 60 days. Having regularly hosted quarterly shows through which the honored artists devise their themes, she has started to decrease the number of displays of budding practitioners but never wishes to suppress the positive spin they generate.

“We’re too invested in being a voice for their talent to back away,” Budnick, who shares ownership duties with husband Jim, said of her outreach, which includes

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m

having sponsored an art class for pupils at George W. Nebinger School, 601 Carpenter St., to make up for funding cuts within the School District of Philadelphia.

“To many people, what we’re doing might seem like nothing, but we’re proud to be a location for inspiration to get noticed.”

THE 55-YEAR-OLD PROMOTER of hygiene and high art had long felt a desire for communal integration before she and her mate purchased their cleanliness destination 14 years ago. Having briefly lived in South Philly then for a longer stretch in the Northeast, she has established roots in Fairmount, but no matter which turf she has called home, she has treasured chances to participate in combing through its amenities, including those of her adopted Passyunk Square neighborhood.

“I was an indoor person but was meant to be the outdoor type,” Budnick said of her early professional existence, which found her handling mid-level management jobs. “I knew I had to make some sort of change.”

Believing an escape from the corporate world would freshen her perspective, she struggled to determine what would set her free until 1999, when she said a light bulb

went off and provided clarity.

“We were riding our bikes down from Fairmount, and I saw this place, immediately thinking it would be neat to own it,” Budnick said. “Forty-five days later, it was ours.”

A year into their roles as proprietors, she and her beau acquired the entire building, a move that yielded constant contact with many artistically-inclined tenants. A short time later, Budnick obtained her real estate license, giving her literal and figurative interests in elevation.

“Some of my employees have had artistic talent, and many residents have, too, so it just evolved from there,” Budnick said. “I see taking pride in our role as citizens as being at the heart of what we’re doing here.”

The lively figure, who maintains her agility through hot yoga sessions that let her touch her toes “better than any 25-yearold can,” loves encouraging extending senses of citizenry by contributing to the Passyunk Square Civic Association’s Trash and Recycling Committee. Hopeful that other business owners will be likewise mindful of their sites’ exteriors, Budnick further makes her enthusiasm evident with a self-fashioned tile display,

the inspiration for which came courtesy of a class with Isaiah Zagar of Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, 1020-22 South St. The creation marks her most engrossing artistic attempt yet will likely not serve as her last.

“My journey hasn’t really involved many ventures into art, but little by little, I foresee being a bit more active,” Budnick said.

Regardless of how much novelty flows from her hands, plenty of praise will emanate from her eyes beginning March 8, when she will finally sate her interest in promoting Latino art when a Mexican artist will present assorted works.

“I’m very happy to see this all take off,” Budnick said. “I could have just tried to make this a regular laundromat, but I thought everyone deserved a bit more, something with spunk. I’m looking forward to meeting even more creative folks.” SPR

LIFESTYLES

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Into 2014 (Peering into the crystal ball for the year ahead) January: The president delivers his State of the Union Address. An analysis by a non-partisan group will reveal that after introducing a decorated war veteran, a sixyear-old entrepreneur, a group of New York City firemen, various and sundry platitudes about the virtues of the American spirit, and the time spent standing and applauding for each introduction, there will be exactly two minutes and 36 seconds of actual content.

It will consist of admitting that “we are not perfect,” the president’s description of the roll out for the Affordable Care Act. He will announce yet another delay in implementation (users will complain that when they try to choose a plan, they are taken to a website for penile enhancement — Congressional Republicans are shown cheering wildly).

February: For some unknown reason, there will be a shortage of Valentine greeting cards. Forced to improvise, 65 percent of all men will start their “poem” with “Roses are red and violets are blue.” Fiftyfive percent of them will not remember the last two lines and give up. The others will write “Sugar is sweet and so is Splenda.”

March: After a great deal of analysis on my part, I submit my March Madness NCAA pool. The pool will be won by a poodle that selects the teams by barking to tell its owner which winners to choose.

April: I will discover that despite the fact that I spent more than I earned for the10th consecutive year, I still have to pay the estimated tax every quarter to Uncle Sam. Joe from Wharton Street writes in to tell me that I deserve to fork over the money because I am a “... liberal, bleeding heart, do-gooder, socialist-loving, unpatriotic, idiot, but he loves to read my column every week.”

May: The flowers are blooming and the big news story is about a dangerous allergy that is becoming more prevalent in our area. Dubbed Phillies Phever, victims are prone to mental confusion where they think it is 2008 (Ruben Amaro is believed to have spread the disease). The only known cure, according to a leading medical authority, is “a dose of reality.”

June: A bi-partisan constitutional amendment is introduced that will guarantee the right of every American not to be offended.

It will mark the first time both Moveon.org and the Tea Party are enthusiastically supporting the same measure. A Moveon.org spokesperson will issue a statement that no American should have to hear the rants of

■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m

Phil Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” while a Tea Party spokesperson will issue a statement that ends by saying, “... that goes double for the lunacy of Bill Maher.”

July: Another July 4th celebration in Philadelphia will be highlighted by a concert featuring no one I ever heard of. Millions of men will serve burnt meat to their guests who are sitting on lawns swatting mosquitoes in 95-degree heat.

August: City pools close early so that unruly teens will have the time to fight and fornicate in recreation centers before it is time to return to school. “It’s not that we’ve run out of money to fund the pools,” a Department of Recreation spokesman will say, “but we’re sensitive to the needs of our youth to sow their oats before school opens, and swimming can be a distraction.”

September: The official Labor Day celebration on the Parkway will once again feature performers unknown to me, but as a friend points out, “You can’t expect them to bring back dead singers.” Local meteorologists point out that the hurricane season has arrived while news analysts will remind us that storms can greatly affect the popularity of politicians (they call it “The Christie Factor”).

October: The Eagles season begins on a promising note. A local sports columnist discovers that there is a direct correlation to the number of Eagles wins and the number of times that coach Chip Kelly quotes Winston Churchill ... The national media predicts there will be a shortage of pumpkins and turkeys again this year. I will ask my wife whether they didn’t say the same thing last year, and if we still enjoy pumpkin pie and roast turkey. She will admit I’m correct, but this year the media alerts us that we may not be able to get cranberry sauce because the bogs will be depleted by a strange virus for which there is no known cure.

November: Tom Corbett will be reelected by a slim margin. Professor and professional pollster Terry Madonna will explain how Corbett was helped by his opposition (a Democrat and four independent candidates) splitting the vote. Corbett says the fact that the voters of Pennsylvania always reelect their governors as the biggest factor in his upset victory. “I believe it is a mandate of sorts,” Corbett says ... Local meteorologists will admit that despite dire predictions for the hurricane season, not one will hit the U.S. mainland.

December: There is a major riot outside a suburban shopping center between those who want to put Christ back in Christmas and the local Chamber of Commerce, who are claiming that spirituality hurts business. The Chamber of Commerce folks reportedly will get the worst of the exchange.

“More than a few wingtips got scuffed,” is the way one observer will put it. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a wealthy stockbroker who eventually sees his lifestyle crashed by the federal government.

As ‘The Wolf’ ticks ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

“T

he Wolf of Wall Street” netted headlines earlier this year for the industry pressure put on Martin Scorsese to trim his final cut.

All told, the latest collaboration between the director and Leonardo DiCaprio still clocks in at three hours; however, it’s such a densely and meticulously packed beast of a film that it’s hard to envision, much less suggest, what ought to be deleted.

An American horror story, “Wolf” recounts the indescribably hedonistic lifestyle of Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), an ex-broker whose book inspired the movie, and who tore through the 1990s devouring all he desired, his exploits fueled by epic stockmarket fraud crimes. Scorsese’s depiction of this specific world is the most disturbing the cinema has ever seen, and though it’s largely shaped as a comedy, the humor is so pitch black and wryly embedded within atrocities that it’s often imperceptible.

Though “Wolf” is, from my perspective, a biting indictment of Belfort’s ways, it’s been dividing critics who find themselves grappling with all the unbridled revelry, and whether Scorsese truly condones or condemns the demonic swagger of his protagonist. Indeed, such is what makes “Wolf” both troubling and terribly fascinating, as never before have Scorsese’s views of his characters been more shrewdly veiled. (No exaggeration: The brokers in “Wolf” make the director’s gangsters look tame.)

Somewhere between the haunting image of an office worker opting to have her head shaved for money, and the palpable gut-punch Jordan delivers to his trophy wife Naomi (Margot Robbie), the greed-bolstered misogyny of “Wolf” be-

comes incredibly hard to take. This may be wholly intended, but it make the film’s tricky mix that much more precarious, as does a Quaalude-induced bit of slapstick paralysis, which is being hailed as comic brilliance, but is far too broad for a man of Scorsese’s talents.

Here’s the upswing: “Wolf” features a staggering, best-ever performance from DiCaprio, who can safely be called one of the finest actors in the biz. And that contentious running time contains a text of infinite readings, which will keep film buffs busy for years to come.

Recommended Rental I’m So Excited!

R Available Tuesday

With “I’m So Excited!” legendary Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar takes a break from thrilling melodrama to deliver a lark akin to those he made in the late 1980s. With zero inhibitions and a shamelessly madcap tone, he flaunts the misadventures of a potentially doomed aircraft’s crew and passengers, who’ll engage in anything — sex, drugs, you name it — to distract from the troubles at hand. Call it a tacky, purgatorial commentary on Spanish culture, and perhaps, life itself. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

Dolores’s Old Fashioned Bread Pudding

Avenue reality

T

he hot topic along East Passyunk Avenue is the recent addition of the 26-seat Laurel, 1617 E. Passyunk Ave., a modern French-influenced American BYOB under the direction of chef/owner Nicholas Elmi. The name may sound familiar to fans of the hit Bravo reality series “Top Chef,” as he is involved in the current season that was filmed in New Orleans. The restaurant is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday.

For more information, call 215-2718299 or visit restaurantlaurel.com. SPR

T

he way winter seems to be heading, frequent runs to the supermarket for basic necessities may soon become a routine.

Soon, the home supply may include enough bread, eggs and milk to open up a corner store. Of course, another solution to get rid of your stockpile is to try Dolores Collins’ recommendation for her Old Fashioned Bread Pudding.

The resident of the 2000 block of South Hancock Street isn’t just interested in pleasing the palette, as tasters will get in a healthy serving of fruit thanks to the raisins that flavor this dish.

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

2 cups of milk 4 cups of bread, cubed 1/4 cup of melted butter 1/2 cup of sugar 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1/2 cup of raisins 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the milk until it becomes scalding, or bubbles form around edge of pan.

Pour the milk over the bread cubes. Let cool, and add all of the remaining ingredients.

Pour into a buttered 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes. SPR

The Good King Tavern ■ By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

U

nless you have been living deep in the Australian Outback, you know I adore French food. I’ve stated I would love to retire in Provence. Olive oil, garlic and fresh herbs form the foundation for simple fare that borders on peasant food.

These are the dishes that please me.

The Good King Tavern, which opened more than a month ago in Queen Village, offers these types of dishes at moderate prices. Chef Paul Lyons is at the culinary helm turning out appetizers, entrees and homemade desserts. There are many vegetarian options and yes, burger and fries are on the menu as well.

The foods of Provence depict the sunny nature of this region in warm weather months, so it was enjoyable to find a bit of sun on a cold winter night.

Edward and I were shown to a booth and perused the menu over expertly prepared cocktails. Prices were spot on, $12 for a Bluecoat martini and $12 for a Rob Roy. There’s a bar in the front and booths that line windows covered in pretty white lace. The building’s original tin ceiling is painted a dark blue, lighting is fine and James Brown was playing over the sound system. This put me in a fine mood.

Brussels sprouts ($7) were not at all bitter beauties that were roasted, bathed in tangy Chevre and topped with toasted hazelnuts.

Lyons obviously enjoys pickling vegetables, which was evident in eggplant three ways ($7). He pan seared eggplant wedges, including a finely chopped eggplant spread, which packed a nice spicy punch and pickled eggplant. Thinly-sliced cool radishes and sunchokes were includCoffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S. Broad St., 215-334-3100, $

ed on the plate.

I really enjoyed the mushroom croquettes ($6). Mushrooms and spices were pulverized, rolled into balls, coated in seasoned crumbs and quickly fried to a crisp golden brown. Four came with the order, but I could have eaten a dozen. They rested on a bed of pickled mushrooms that I thought contained too much vinegar.

One of the specials of the evening, which were written out on a separate sheet of paper and appeared on the blackboard, was braised artichoke hearts with lentils. Three globe artichokes were expertly peeled down to the centers, which were braised in white wine, a bit of olive oil and herbs.

French green lentils retained a bit of bite and shared company in a heavenly white wine, olive oil, garlic and chopped vegetable sauce. Rectangles of toasted homemade bread gave us the delicious opportunity to mop up the sauce.

A glass of house Pinot Noir ($6.50) and a fine French Chardonnay ($7.50) drank well with our entrees.

The feature of morteaux gratin ($12) was the homemade chicken and pork sausage, which I found required more fat and seasoning. Lyons took a gratin dish and layered it with au gratin potatoes, which needed salt and could have been hotter, temperature-wise. He then crammed the sausages in the dish and topped it with arugula. I found this an odd presentation.

When vessels like this are used to bake more than one ingredient, the temperature varies with the ingredients.

Skate wing was popular 10 years ago, and I have not seen it on a restaurant menu in years. Lyons placed his version ($16) on Restaurant Review:

the list of specials a week ago, describing it as skate wing with pork belly in a saffron broth. I received perfectly pan-seared skate that was first dusted in unseasoned flour. The fish was so bland I had to ask for salt, pepper and lemon wedges. This improved the fish’s flavor. The squares of pork belly were perfectly done, crisp on the outside and creamy inside, but the broth was a disappointment. I did not detect the yellow color or flavor of saffron.

It was milky white and sweet with sautéed leeks, carrots and onions.

Do not miss the homemade pot du crème ($6). This French version of chocolate pudding is among my most enjoyable ways to end a meal. It was topped with = Very Good

A great sport

A once-hesitant Packer Park youngster has become a world champion karate practitioner.

■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

U

pon making his initial trip to Positive Force Karate, 1704 Jackson St., then-6-year-old Reno Dagostino could not convert his enthusiasm for watching karate into the conviction to practice it.

Now a courageous and confident 12-year-old pupil at the Newbold location, he has transformed from an observer to the observed, garnering numerous accolades under the guidance of instructor Hugo Armando Jr. and joining his fellow Packer Park occupant as a world champion.

“It’s definitely cool,” the sixth-grader at William M. Meredith School, 725 S. Fifth St., said last week of receiving his title through the North American Sport Karate Association. “My friends say they’re lucky to know me because they think I’m famous.”

Reno reaped renown Dec. 18 when the organization issues its year-end rankings, solidifying his hold on the top spot in the creative and traditional weapons, point sparring and traditional forms disciplines.

Three days prior to that windfall, he dominated the Philadelphia Independence Open Karate Championships in Essington by claiming three first-place finishes and grand champion distinction.

“Reno came in shy, like most kids do, but there’s something inside of him that’s different,” Armando, president of the National Sports Karate Association, which oversaw last month’s tournament, said.

“He has drive, initiative, tenacity and desire, and he continues to amaze me.”

A six-time world champion, sixth-degree black belt designee and World Karate Hall of Fame inductee, the doting master has enjoyed helping Reno to vanquish apprehension and hone his talent, generating a journey that has taken the pre-teen to many states for world-rated competitions. The youngster will soon cross Illinois off his sites-to-see list, as he will travel to Chicago for Jan. 28’s ceremony honoring him as NASKA’s intermediate children’s victor.

“Seeing the country, at first, was a bit scary, but now it seems pretty normal,” Reno said of his budding wanderlust. “I

feel fortunate to go anywhere.”

If he remains a vigilant student, which looks likely considering his curiosity and commitment, along with Armando’s decision to make him the lone learner to receive training in a new form, Reno should fulfill his quests to capture more crowns and pass along his passion as a teacher.

“He’s humble, definitely, but his dedication is inspiring,” Armando said. “For the rest of my life, I want to continue to help him. He’s proven himself a champion, and I’m happy to have connected with such a great kid.”

“I think karate has helped me to open up more,” Reno added. “I’m very close to Master Hugo, and, yeah, he’s like a family member. He’s really helping me to have fun and be responsible.”

A CHANCE TO experience merriment motivated the child when he originally set foot

in the studio. His eyes initially proved bigger than his heart, though, as he declined to begin lessons after inspecting a class. At age 9, however, Reno let an established interest, academics, yield another pursuit.

“I really liked the material, so I decided to ask to take karate lessons,” he said of reactions to his third-grade teacher’s recommendation for him to read Jeff Stone’s seven-part young adult series “The Five Ancestors,” which deals with Chinese warrior monks and their efforts to un-

derstand their identities following the destruction of their home. “I started to believe I was really ready to test myself.”

Eager to enjoy his interactions with Armando, Reno refrained from pressuring himself, choosing instead to be patient and see what would come of his sacrifices. His renowned helper, though, foresaw greatness immediately.

“The dedication became apparent right away,” Armando, whose own mastery of martial arts has spanned more than 40 years, said. “It wasn’t long before I could sense that he should look to take his skills to another level.”

Reno debuted Feb. 27, 2011 at the Tolentine Community Center, 1025 Mifflin St., claiming victory at the East Passyunk Crossing location’s Battle of the Young Warriors. Beginner’s pluck rather than beginner’s luck soon situated the boy in many notable tests of his fortitude, with the ’11 and ’12 Philadelphia Independence Open Karate Championships, among other challenges, finding him beaming at their conclusion, too.

“It’s been interesting to get to know so many people,” Reno, who has developed ties with a fellow male practitioner in North Jersey and a female student in New York, said of gaining a national profile.

“I’m curious about the future and what I’m going to see.”

The precocious lad, who counts traditional weapons as his strongest area and has dubbed his bo staffs Buzz and Woody after characters in the “Toy Story” franchise, stands to view much more of Armando, who stated he would love to add Reno as an assistant in the not-too-distant future. The youth is preparing for that promotion each day by either practicing or contemplating how he can become better.

With the School District of Philadelphia set to resume classes today following its holiday break, he expects more acknowledgment of his growing celebrity yet will never fall prey to pride.

“I still have to work hard no matter what titles or ranking I have,” Reno said.

“I got to keep learning.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
