still gives me chills,” Don Smolenski, the Philadelphia Eagles’ president, said of the feeling he gets when he enters Lincoln Financial Field, 1020 Pattison Ave., which broke ground in May of 2001. Last summer, the Eagles’ front office announced a $125 million revitalization plan and last week, Smolenski led an eager troupe of sports reporters excited to see the Linc’s new look.

While Veterans Stadium, or the “Vet,” was the home of the Eagles from 1971 to 2003 at 3501 S. Broad St., Lincoln Financial Group purchased naming rights in ’02 for nearly $140 million to be paid over 21 years. Almost exactly ten years after its opening, the team announced a team-up with Gensler Architecture and Turner Construction that will be finished before the Birds’ home opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 7, also their first regular season game.

According to the Lincoln Financial Stadium Revitalization Fact Sheet, the boards will be “High-Definition video boards made up of 10 mm pixels, which makes them the highest-resolution boards in the NFL.” The larger See the linc page 10 >>

Sharrow-ing thoughts

To the Editor: I applaud the city’s efforts to redirect bicycles away from Broad Street to 13th and 15th streets (“Sharrow-ing the road,” July 24). There is considerably less traffic and therefore less potential for conflict on these convenient side streets as opposed to a significant north-south corridor like Broad Street. As Susan Dannenberg herself points out, an alternative just one block away is a very reasonable solution. Of course even without the sharrows, cyclists are allowed the full use of any traffic lane. Sharrows merely serve as a reminder to motorists that cyclists are encouraged on a particular roadway. This solution seems like it should be applied to another nearby project — Washington Avenue. Washington Avenue carries similar traffic to Broad Street and includes many trucks and SEPTA buses. Large vehicles such as these pose greater threats to cyclists. It escapes me why the city is advocating reducing two travel lanes along that roadway and at the same

time encouraging more cyclists to use it when there are alternatives with significantly less traffic, lower speeds and fewer trucks/buses just a block or two away (Federal Street, Carpenter Street, et al). In fact, the Washington Avenue plan may result in some traffic diverting to the residential streets just mentioned, which could pose harm to those communities. Federal transportation guidelines also suggest diversions are possible (and should be avoided). The city should consider installing sharrows on parallel side streets within one or two blocks of Washington Avenue in a fashion similar to what the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia is advocating along the Broad Street bicycle corridor. One final note — adult cyclist use of most sidewalks is legal throughout Pennsylvania. PA Vehicle Code, Title 75, Chapter 35, section 3508(a) and 3508(b) provide added clarification. I own both a car and a bicycle and use the latter often. I exercise common sense when I feel riding 10 to 15

mph on an empty sidewalk having clear lines of sight is a safer alternative than riding in a busy street. It’s often claimed that the city may have passed a law prohibiting all adult sidewalk use, but no police officer I have asked was aware of any law other than those just mentioned. Regardless, common sense should always apply in any situation — whether a motorist or a cyclist. Frank Tavani Queen Village Neighbors Association Transportation Comittee Chairperson

Forward thinking To the Editor: The opening theme from the 1970s hit “All in the Family” is a quaint reminder that some would rather recount sentimentally about the past than act thoughtfully on the present. For Joe Cirella, the “Good ol’ days” (“Do-it-yourself theory,” July 10) when people depended less on entitlements, walked several blocks to attend school and returned home to a hot dinner prepared by mom is illustrative of the selective and sanitized nature nostalgia renders while relegating the present to some uncontrollable

mess. The fact of the matter is that it is very common to idealize a distant memory. Though this may be innocent enough, what makes such ruminations dangerous is that it ossifies an imagined past that precludes any helpful consideration of very real problems. In Mr. Cirella’s case, “using the sweat off one’s brow to earn a decent living” is his simplistic solution. The suggestion is that people don’t want to work and would rather sit at home and wait for food stamps to arrive — all while defying the authority of priests, teachers and the police who “were always right.” Surely, this is confused thinking. Instead, I propose a consideration of the rich diversity of our South Philadelphia community. A handyman may be absent from the pages of the Review, but step outside and witness the formidable skills of new immigrants from Central America and Southeast Asia who populate our neighborhoods and work hard at making a living. To be sure, we have many problems in this country, and I don’t want to be glib about them. When the richest 400 Americans have more wealth than half of the country’s population, it is obvious that grave inequalities besiege our society; but rather than complaining about your fellow working-class American, take an activist stance. Edith and Archie Bunker may believe “we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.” I, for one, would rather look productively ahead than lament an imagined past. Robert Rivera-Amezola South Philadelphia

Deadly crash A Point Breeze man died shortly after his car plunged into the Delaware River. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

ust before 6 p.m. Monday, Marc Oliviero, driving a black Volkswagen that authorities have stated had been involved in an Old City accident, zoomed down a ramp linking the Chestnut Street bridge to Columbus Boulevard, busted the vehicle through a metal fence and dropped into the body of water. Police divers removed the 25-year-old resident of the 1800 block of McKean Street from the automobile and secured transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:04 p.m. As of press time, officials had not announced what caused the crash, but Battalion Chief Robert E. Clark noted no skid marks were present, meaning Oliviero had not applied the brakes or they failed him.

Louis Hill

On Friday, police announced the arrests of two men sought in connection with a June robbery in Newbold. The department detained 22-year-old Kharyee Smith of West Philly July 15 and 21-year-old Louis Hill, of the 1700 block of South 23rd Street, July 10 based on officers’ June 24 viewing of a surveillance video. In the original matter, first reported in the South Philly Review on June 13 as “Patience is a vice,” a man was walking along the 1700 block of Mifflin Street at 1 a.m. June 7 when he noticed two unknown figures following him. Feeling unsafe when he reached South Hicks and Mifflin streets, he sought refuge in a watering hole to avoid a confrontation. He remained inside for five minutes

and continued walking eastbound on Mifflin Street after not observing them. After crossing South 15th Street, he heard footsteps and soon felt a gun pressed against his back. Turning around, he saw the same two individuals and gave them his Samsung Galaxy cell phone, Beats Pro headphones, Michael Kors gold watch and white Louis Vuitton belt when they barked “Give it up.” Authorities charged Hill, who had not posted his $500,000 bail as of press time and is due in court for a preliminary hearing today, with robbery and related offenses, and Smith, who had not posted his $750,000 bail as of press time and is also due in court this morning, with the same offenses.

Liquid courage Authorities arrested a man for allegedly starting a fire in Newbold. Just after 6 a.m. Friday, a plainclothes police officer reportedly noticed Christopher Smith pushing a window-unit air conditioner into a home on the 1700 block of Sigel Street. The law enforcement figure then said he observed the individual squirt liquid from a small container through an open window to light a fire. Authorities contend that Smith left the scene in a black Chrysler 300 but returned a few minutes later with another bottle of liquid and used its contents to accelerate the flames. The incident led a 59-year-old man, a 47-year-old woman and a 3-yearold boy to jump from a second-floor rear window, with the adult male suffering a broken leg and several broken ribs. Authorities have not determined a motive and charged Smith, who had not posted his $1 million bail as of press time, with aggravated and simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child, recklessly endangering another person and attempted murder. He awaits an Aug. 13 preliminary hearing.

Offensive display Two men became the victims of a bicycle gang in Passyunk Square Sunday. At approximately 8:36 p.m., the complainants were sitting on the steps of a 1300-block-of-South-Eighth-Street residence when approximately 15 black and Asian males pulled up on bicycles, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The offenders circled in front of them, dismounted from their rides and walked over to the individuals.

POLICE REPORt One of the strangers asked “What’s the problem?” to the complainants, to which they replied “There is no problem.” Upon hearing that, two of his peers began punching their prey, with the first victim sustaining a swollen left eye and bruising to the left side of his head and the second a punch to the face that loosened a tooth. Another offender grabbed the first complainant’s backpack before the aggressors fled the area, last seen heading southbound on Eighth Street. The men described the first attacker as black, 27 years old, 5-foot-6, husky and clean-shaven; having short hair and a dark complexion; and wearing a red shirt and tan shorts; the second as Asian, 18 to 20 years old and 5-foot-5; having a thin build, a light complexion and hair pushed to the front; and wearing a black shirt; and the third as black, 17 years old, 5-foot-6 and clean-shaven; and having short hair.

severe burns, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They met with the complainant, who stated he had been walking along the intersection of 34th Street and Grays Ferry Avenue when he noticed unknown males walking behind him. Two figures walked in front of him, with one pouring an unknown liquid on his face and the other throwing a match at him. An unknown person transported the victim to the health-care facility, where he received treatment for second degree burns to his face and chest. He described the first attacker as black and approximately 5-foot9; and having a medium build; and the second as Hispanic and approximately 5-foot-7; and having a heavy build.

Surveillance video

Police are hoping the accompanying image will solve an East Passyunk Crossingbased car theft. At 12:30 a.m. July 9, the complainant parked his 2000 Jeep Wrangler on the 2000 block of South Juniper Street. Surveillance video captured an unknown male at 3 a.m. as he unzipped the vehicle’s removable top before entering to search for items of value. Roughly 15 minutes later, he emerged with a radio, an iPod and other possessions before leaving the area, with footage last catching him on 13th Street and Snyder Avenue.

Surveillance video

Police last week issued this image in the hopes of solving a Girard Estate robbery. The depiction accompanies an incident first covered in last week’s South Philly Review as “Hoodlums’ harassment.” In that matter, officers police responded to a radio call on the 2400 block of South Garnet Street at approximately 3:15 a.m. July 13 and met with two female complainants who reported they had been outside a residence when two men walked past them. The figures then put their hoods on and turned back in their direction, with one holding a gun to the first woman’s head and yelling “Give us everything.” The females dropped their handbags and ran to the first victim’s residence on the same block. Police recovered the holders on the 2400 block of South 20th Street. The contents were intact, except for a cell phone.

An engaging Tune-Up

A Queen Village resident has assumed leadership of a Philadelphia Youth Orchestra training program. n By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

bout two weeks ago, the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra announced a new director for its Tune-Up Philly (TUP) initiative. Paul Smith, a Queen Village resident, will lead the successful after-school musical education program as his predecessor and colleague, Delia Raab-Snyder, assumes a new music teacher position. The Juilliard School graduate got his Philadelphia music start in South Philly, too, at the Caring People Alliance South Philadelphia Community Center, 2433 S. 15th St. “Paul was always capable of coming up with something that was really engaging to them,” Rebecca Sapolsky, the site director for the Boys and Girls Club that specializes in both after-school and summer programing for youths and the aged alike, said. “We always have a music specialist in the summer, and Paul was for a couple summers in a row — when he was working we were in the Fels building (formerly 2407 S. Broad St.) and those summer camps were about 150 to 160 kids. I remember him doing lessons about harmony and harmonizing and lots of rhythm-based stuff.” Sapolksy’s Center is in line with TuneUp in one distinct way: They share the mission of enriching kids’ lives in a city where one’s address can determine access to educational essentials like art and music. Charter schools and community centers contract Tune-Up to come in and conduct programming that’s often far more available outside of the city, in private schools and for households that can afford private lessons and instruments to purchase. TUP is a musical training program for underserved Philadelphia neighborhoods at eight sites throughout the city, sometimes to generate a band, orchestra or chorus where the school lacks one, other times to guide gifted musicians towards trained specialists and encourage them to lead their community through music.

On Smith’s time at Caring People, he remembers the community as strong and tight. “The cool thing was that it was all students from South Philly. It was families that came from the same block, it was families that had a lot of history with that community center,” he said. “They brought me on to do an entire music curriculum for the summer, and they had nothing, no instruments, no staff. They said ‘We want music. How do we make this happen?’” He was a hit. “We jammed super hard all summer. We made up our own music and performed for the senior citizens,” Smith said, taking what seemed like a challenging set of circumstances at first and turning it into a familiar success story. “Engage them through music, and we’ll build community around it. Let’s get along with each other through music. “What we’re doing is getting people to share, communicate and care about their neighbors,” he added, having practiced Tune-Up’s mission at a South Philly Boys and Girls Club long before he became its director. Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, it’s worth noting, is a 74-year-old institution that was led for 51 years by a South Philadelphia

hero, Joseph Primavera. “Joe’s kids,” as they were known, became a world-class youth orchestra led often by members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, but always by the late Primavera. “He was the South Philly Italian conductor who really galvanized the group. They went to Taiwan and Europe, and they really became a nationally-known brand for youth orchestras,” Smith said, “and he had the character to back it up.” “Music has to be recognized as an agent of social development, in the highest sense because it transmits the highest values: solidarity, harmony, mutual compassion. And it has the ability to unite an entire community, and to express sublime feelings” is a quote by the great Jose Antonio Abreu, a legendary Venezuelan educator, conductor, pianist, economist and activist who founded the organization called, and philosophy of, El Sistema, which is that even our poorest children, perhaps especially those kids, can be rescued by music. Abreu’s made it a huge success since 1975. Smith explained Abreu’s story and said “Music can really be a social positive changer, and it’s not about a path to virtuosity, but a path to community.” Justin King, the Program Manager for

Art, Music, and Athletics for Mastery Charter School sites, sees great power in Tune-Up’s mission and sees Abreu’s influence on PYO and TUP as a blessing. “With the social component, the communitybuilding, it’s bringing the joy and positivity of music to kids who might otherwise not have it,” King said. He sees bringing Tune-Up into his schools “as a way to really get an instrument in every under-privileged kid’s hands. Tune-Up is modeling that kind of instruction and that philosophical drive to make the world a better place. Let’s save the world with instruments — I love that,” he added. King’s contracting Tune-Up to lead an after-school program at Clymer Elementary in North Philly that was piloted with a small group of students at the Thomas campus schools (kindergarten through sixth grades are at 814 Bigler St. and grades seventh through 12th at 927 Johnston St.). Students will be offered a “full-on Tune-Up program for 30 kids. Three times a week for an hour after school for string.” Climber’s buying some instruments and, the hope is, perhaps the same program could come to Thomas schools. Tune-Up also helps guide students toward magnet schools like the Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 W. Ritner St., and Smith is confident that, under his guidance, he’ll be a part of creating musical leaders in communities across Philadelphia. “Engage them at any level and then use them and performance to engage with the larger community — it’s about creating arts ambassadors,” Smith said, the aim being to “bring up faculty and teaching artists and have them become more fleshed-out leaders and increase the number of names around.” As King and Smith point out, the children involved in Tune-Up’s programming aren’t the only ones affected: so are their siblings, friends, parents and neighbors. Sapolsky isn’t surprised Smith’s been tapped for leadership and sees his unique blend of talents as fitting for the organization’s goals. “It really takes a unique talent, someone who’s not just passionate about music but also about education and kids and trying to find that connection to draw them in and get them hooked,” she said. “I would sit in the back of the classroom and I was always amazed. Paul was always outstanding at that. It was so great how he engaged them.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

the linc continued from page 1 north end zone video board was also expanded by 100 feet, more than tripling the teams’ video board square footage. The project adds 1,626 new seats in the “Seating Bowl,” bringing the stadium’s capacity to 69,176: approximately 800 in the southwest corner, 600 in the northeast corner, and 200 in the northwest corner. The installation of two bridges allows for fans to perch with great sightlines, but it also connects the home from visiting seating. It is now a 2,600-foot walk from the home to the visitor side on the upper concourse. For some fans, the open practice that took place Monday afternoon was the ideal way to come check out the improvements that have been accomplished with a total of 1,700 workers over the course of 400,000 man hours. The free and open-to-the-public training sessions that, prior to last year occurred at Lehigh University, are now a chance for fans to sit in seats they wouldn’t be able to otherwise. Dana McCoy, an East Passyunk Crossing resident, said it was her first time in the Eagles’ home. “The last time I went to a game was at the ‘Vet.’ It’s my first time here, and I think it’s awesome,” she said. “It’s just beautiful. Every seat looks like a good seat, and it’s an opportunity that I wouldn’t normally have.” Fort Washington resident Lisa Ledwith sees the public practices as ideal “for us non-ticket holders.” The lifetime teacher made the trip from Montgomery County with her husband, partly because “free is always the right word,” but also because when she caught the Lehigh practices two summers ago, she “became a more devoted, loyal Eagle fan” and said “I get to sit in seats I could never afford.”

In the expanded control room, more staff will take advantage of the revamped wrap-around LED “ribbon-boards” and the giant end zone boards. An upgraded sound system and 360 degrees of video will thrill fans. P h o t o b y R i c h a r d Ba r n e s

In the control room, expanded by 30 percent to accommodate more visuals staffers, Smolenski broke down some of the technical improvements. They invested $5 million into scoreboard control and graphics for the video boards. The facility can now call on 19 angles for replay, adding four more stations to a total of six. They went from six to 22 camera angles overall, and upped their 3-D animated graphics game. On the field, Smolenski spoke into a radio dispatch and “Touchdown” flashed on every board in the stadium. At the open practice, the fight song graphics never looked so good. Bill Stroby and his 12-year-old son, Nick, sat at stone tables outside the field before the practice. They’d come in from Brigantine, N.J., and said they typically make no

more than two games per season, noting that home contests are much bigger events at the Linc than at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way. “I definitely like the higher seats for sightlines because you can see what’s going on,” Stroby said. An expanded visual arsenal may improve gameday experiences even for fans in the nosebleeds. Fred Masciangelo and his wife Melody came in from Blackwood, N.J., partly because it was free and tickets are “too expensive.” The 20th-and-Ritner-streets-raised retiree is a Phillies season ticketholder and an avowed “Four for Four” (an Eagles, Phils, Flyers and Sixers fan). He believes supporters are willing to “pay a couple bucks more for updates as long as it’s not over-the-top.” Masciangelo often prefers to

watch at home. The largest improvements may, in fact, affect the ticketholders who pay the most. The Suite and Club level, as well as the SCA and Panasonic Club levels, just wrapped complete makeovers including furniture, carpeting, imagery, signage and brand new televisions (1,185 brand new TVs have been installed throughout the stadium). But some improvements will make everyone happy: better signage for finding seats and sections, more points of sale and digitalized menus, Wi-Fi capability for 45,000 simultaneous users and 44 murals have been installed. As Smolenski was surrounded by reporters on the field’s mixed natural and synthetic grasses, many asked if this effort was an outright grab for Super Bowl contention. He said no, but it would be a great thing for the team and the city. Gretchen Winterbottom, an Old City resident and friend to McCoy, said “Why not? There are all these facilities down here.” The fan was enjoying her lower-level seats and said “it’s so different being here down at this level. I’m used to being higher up.” But Smolenski seemed totally genuine in his excitement for the improvements to the fan experience on gameday, the final product of a process where he and his office solicited feedback from fans and ticketholders about what they want to see improve. “We listened and we developed a plan of action,” he said in a press release. “Our main goal when we began this project was to dramatically enhance the gameday experiences for our fans. They deserve an exciting and fun experience when they visit Lincoln Financial Field, and we are committed to that.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

Eschewing tried-and-true transportation by choosing cycling, a Point Breeze dweller is saving far more than money. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

Photos By Corey Carter

ummer and cycling seem soulmates, with each encouraging the expression of excitement and the rejection of restraint. Mateus Kaplan, however, does not count on the calendar to coordinate his journeys, as he has made his ride a perennial peer, enlisting it as his lone form of travel. “It’s kind of like my therapy,” the 26-year-old said last week at his Philadelphia Navy Yard-situated place of employment, Mark Group, Inc., 4050 S. 26th St., which requires a roughly four-mile trek from his Point Breeze abode to reach. “Each time I’m out there, I learn to experience the city in a different way, and I’ve been able to make so many observations about myself and my surroundings.” No matter the type of excursion or the elements facing him, including this year’s polar vortex, which he saw as a sign of “taking the good with the bad,” Kaplan revels in the receptivity that his body and brain have to taking on challenges. Logging as many as 14 hours on his trusty friend each week, he loves the freedom that relying on two wheels, instead of four or more, can yield. “There’s something innately gratifying about being able to hop on your bike

LIFESTYLES

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

and go somewhere,” he said of his eightyear tenure tasking himself to be content with abandoning the allure of cars, trains and buses, including The Navy Yard’s shuttles. “What I have found, especially in South Philly, is that people from all walks of life are enjoying themselves by riding. It’s one of the last great simple pleasures that we have.” In maximizing that delight, Kaplan has added physical and psychological strength while also enhancing his environmental consideration. As a Mark Group home performance coordinator, he promotes the proper use of energy and uses that allegiance to respecting resources as further inspiration when his siren calls. “People hear ‘green’ and ‘eco-friendly,’ and it’s not always tangible to them, so, like with most things, we need to back up claims with substantive support,” Kaplan said. “With cycling, it’s pretty apparent that we’ll feel better about ourselves and protect the earth in doing so.” Be it through mountain biking or cyclocross cycling, the unflagging peddler feels fortunate to retain such regard for the discipline and never contends that his wheelbased world will ever run out of wonder. “Well, there’s always more to learn no matter who we are,” Kaplan said. “For me,

what I like about racing are the unknown aspects, the adventure, the opportunity to push through obstacles to see what you can do because our doubt can be as intimidating as any terrain.” The perpeTual pursuer of peak performances has partnered with a cycle to convey him throughout South Philly for eight years. Finding it a convenient location for linking up with prominent cycling destinations while serving as an interesting realm in its own right, he has enjoyed noticing how novel his passion has become for some and how long-standing it has been for others. “That mix is pretty amazing,” Kaplan said of analyzing neighborhoods. “You can find grandmothers, ultra competitive guys and kids all covering the area. Nothing matters when it comes to wanting to get out there and enjoy ourselves.” The free spirit began his obsession with cycling as a Venezuela-born boy, deeming it a primary way for exploring his South American homeland. “It was an easy way to get from point A to point B, and I really loved the joy that came from it,” Kaplan said, noting that he particularly loved riding down high hills. “You can definitely say it’s only grown to

be even more important to me.” He made his way to the United States as a teenager and attended high school in the northwest suburbs before matriculating at Temple University as a Spanish and Latin American studies major. City life started to prove pivotal, as it helped him to realize the exorbitant nature of gas prices and encouraged his adoption of an auto-free existence. “I bought a car at 18, but I sold it shortly afterward,” Kaplan said. “Bicycling just became more convenient in so many ways.” Between classes at Temple, he took on food delivery tasks and became engrossed in learning more about riding’s benefits to his frame and his fortitude and had his epiphany when completing an 80-mile expedition on a single-speed bike. “It was such a hot day, and I remember being so tired and dehydrated,” Kaplan recalled. “However, I was totally enamored with the experience and since then, I’ve been hooked, with time working at a bike shop also giving me a sense of community that compels me to get out there and be among likewise enthused people.” For the last three years, he has used his competitive nature and quest for camaraderie to compete in numerous events and

has prided himself on seeking incredibly challenging outlets for his enthusiasm, including the Trans-Sylvania Mountain Bike Epic. Regardless of the sort of adventure on which he embarks, Kaplan strives to better his sense of belonging to a community, a practice that in Philadelphia figures to win great favor because of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia’s plan to implement sharrows and signage on 13th and 15th streets from South Street to Oregon Avenue. “We’re companions, in a sense, and I think we can build on Philadelphia’s reputation as a cycling-oriented city and even start to get along better with drivers,” Kaplan surmised. “There’s plenty of space for us.” He helps his fellow enthusiasts to enjoy that ground by leading two group rides following work and looks forward to guiding more folks to rationalize riding as more enlightening and rewarding than inserting a key into an ignition. “I love being out there,” Kaplan said. “It’s great to have so much control over the direction of my life.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Vacation

ou’ll have to forgive me if this column isn’t quite up to par. I’m coming off vacation, which is much like an alcoholic binge. Vacations can be quite a lot of fun until they end. Coming back from one is a bit like trying to get over a hangover. My wife and I were out and about in Cape Cod and the surrounding region where if you don’t like scented candles and cranberries, you might as well stay the hell home. A lobster roll in New England is as ubiquitous and overrated as cheesesteaks and the Rocky statue in Philly. Don’t get me wrong, we had a good time. One of the highlights of the trip was when a member of our group complained of severe constipation. My wife, upon hearing of her plight, said a “prayer” for her and minutes later the woman was rushing off to the restroom. If pro-biotic yogurt has a market, surely my wife should be able to make a profit on this newfound talent. The recipient of this “blessing” will undoubtedly be thinking of my wife whenever she goes to the loo forever more. The other big moment of our trip occurred in Provincetown, where I apologized to an automobile. The streets of Provincetown are narrower than a redneck’s mind, and the traffic was quite heavy that morning. I was one of the tourists crowding the street, walking with my back to the flow of traffic when I felt a bump and muttered “excuse me.” It turned out that a very slow moving car had hit me with a slight thump and continued on its way. I was none the worse for the incident and at least proved to be the one with better manners. Try as one might you can’t get away from the grim realities of the world at large, even on vacation. The horrific downing of a Malaysian airliner convinced me if one wants to extend one’s life, it would be wise to avoid using any form of Malaysian transportation unless the only alternative was a car made by General Motors. Vladimir Putin and Russia really shouldn’t be blamed. After all, you give missiles to a bunch of nutso Ukrainian rebels and give them a crash (if you’ll pardon the expression) course in how to handle them, what could go wrong? Sort of like when we gave weapons to Osama bin Laden to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. How did that one work out? I was shocked — simply shocked — that the Israelis and Palestinians are fighting

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

each other again. Had there been a prior cessation in hostilities I hadn’t heard about? You have to feel sorry for our Secretary of State John Kerry. He had this plan ready for approval where both sides would live side by side forever in peace with free falafel on Wednesdays and it all fell apart much like his 2004 presidential bid. My understanding is that both Benjamin Netanyahu and the Hamas leadership balked at the requirement that they learn how to wind surf. While we were away, our local news was quite interesting. Another local politician’s fundraising for a nonprofit was called into question. This time it was Councilman Kenyatta Johnson who seems to be blaming the problem on poor bookkeeping. This comes on the heels of some of our legislators in Harrisburg encountering the same difficulty and offering the same excuse. I’ve always been suspicious of the word “politician” and “nonprofit” being used in the same sentence. Uncle Nunzi suggests we require accounting courses for anyone seeking elective office in Philadelphia and Harrisburg. I came across the cover story on Eagles quarterback Nick Foles by Buzz Bissinger in this month’s issue of Philadelphia Magazine. Buzz seems really peeved that Foles and his family refused to grant him an interview. He winds up concluding, after interviewing peripheral figures in the quarterback’s life, that Foles is too polite and self-effacing to become a great quarterback. Charlie Sheen offering advice on the virtues of chastity. On our last day of vacation, we ate in a restaurant (Abe and Louie’s) located close to the site of the Boston Marathon bombing. Our waitress had been working there at the time of the attack. Moments before the bombs went off, she had walked outside the restaurant to watch the race. When the first bomb went off, she thought it was fireworks, and then the second one exploded about two blocks from where she was standing. In the ensuing chaos, she led some of the frightened people to a safe location, and in the process lost her hearing in one ear. Surgery has restored 65 percent of her hearing, although background noises sometimes now intrude into the foreground. The restaurant was closed for two weeks after the incident when the FBI moved in to investigate the crime scene. She is a pleasant woman and appears to be in her mid-50s. No longer on any medication to treat the trauma she suffered, she told us she is fully recovered. But a serious look came over her face, and just for a moment her eyes seemed distant, as if she has been transported back to that horrific moment when the bomb exploded and her life changed forever. And then she was back smiling and asked if we liked our burgers. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ opinion/cardella.

Stanley (Colin Firth) and Sophie (Emma Stone) go for a ride in the latest project from writer/director Woody Allen.

‘Magic’ is deceiving n By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ou’ve got to hand it to Woody Allen: He certainly isn’t afraid of his critics. Mere months after his estranged daughter hurled childhood sexual abuse allegations at him, the tireless filmmaker releases a movie about a May-December romance between a young medium, Sophie (Emma Stone), and an illusionist, Stanley (Colin Firth), who’s nearly three decades her senior. If nothing else, “Magic in the Moonlight” is a representation of a filmmaker immune to creative impingement, no matter how touchy the circumstances. That said, Allen’s latest also sees his selfindulgence fly free to snooze-inducing effect, in a story that’s likely of minimal interest to anyone who isn’t him. Set in 1920s France (and thus unflatteringly juxtaposed against Allen’s modern triumph, “Midnight in Paris”), “Moonlight” centers on Stanley’s quest to expose Sophie as a fraud, after word of her “gifts” makes its way to England, where he performs. Of course, Stanley, Allen’s umpteenth onscreen proxy, finds his skepticism transformed into obsession. And as his fondness for Sophie grows, his openness to the impossible starts quelling his deeprooted cynicism, meaning Allen, perhaps, is ready to tweak his lifelong, forlorn obsession with mortality. That’s great for Allen; however, his presentation of it isn’t something fascinating to behold, like, say Terrence Malick’s hymn to the word itself, “The Tree of Life.” Malick and Allen are like apples and oranges, but both ask viewers to join them as they grapple openly with life, death, and demons, and often, Allen’s invita-

tions prove to be well worth it. Despite an absolutely superb supporting turn from Hamish Linklater, who steals the show as Sophie’s would-be suitor, Brice, “Moonlight” plays more like an endurance test of Allen-isms, to the point that one hopes the couple’s romance fails. Photographed by Darius Khondji, the film looks far better than fans would expect from Allen, who’s always put compositions and stylistics low on his priority list. But, just as Sophie proves to Stanley, looks can be very deceiving indeed.

Magic in the Moonlight PG-13 Two reels out of four Opens tomorrow at the Ritz Five

Recommended Rental Divergent PG-13 Available Tuesday

“The Fault in Our Stars” may have wound up Shailene Woodley’s biggest hit of the year, but “Divergent” might equal it for most talked-about, if only because it so closely mirrors the hugely successful “Hunger Games” series. Also set in a dystopian future, the adaptation of Veronica Roth’s bestseller focuses on a unique rebel (Woodley) who needs to decide if embracing her destiny is worth risking her life.

American Sardine Bar, 1800 Federal St.: Soups, sandwiches, sides and sardines are among what one will find served at this Point Breeze faux-dive bar helmed by Scott Schroeder, who also heads up the kitchen of the South Philly Taproom.

ably mistake for a residential backyard if it weren’t for the giant sardine painted onto the brick above the beer yard. Royal blue and white lawn chairs fill up the space, separated from the streets by only a short fence and flowerboxes. Add in that you’re probably drinking from a vibrantly patterned craft can and you might as well be out back at your friend’s place. Xfinity Live!, 1100 Pattison Ave.: More an experience than a bar, especially for those who head down the day of a big Eagles or Flyers game (less so for the Phillies lately), this stadium area complex is every tailgater’s fantasy. A turf field stocked with the essential games, a full outdoor bar and a jumbo TV for all the action makes Xfinity almost as fun as being at the game. PBR and Victory Beer Hall offer their own outdoor spaces separate from the fray, both sizeable in their own right. Victory’s rows of park style tables and benches mimics the décor of the interior that features community style seating and one very long central table. Come fall, one of the best seats in South Philly is around the fire pit on a Thursday or Friday night. At PBR, when you aren’t riding the bull, you can step out and rest your Jack and Coke on a barrel to grab a breather before going back in for round two. Stateside, 1536 E. Passyunk Ave.: OK, so things here are a little different than they used to be. Shifting from chef to chef, though each talented, will have that affect on a restaurant. However, some things will never change, and at Stateside that means having one of the best whiskey lists in Philly, pouring dynamite cocktails and wrapping eight seats around the corner of Cross Street and Passyunk Avenue with access to the bar. Floating above the concrete and attached to the pale brick wall, count these stools among South Philly’s best to take in the scenes of the city. Even if you cannot score one of the ever elusive outside seats, take up a spot at the bar inside, and gaze through the beer taps to watch the fountain. Though sacrilege, give sangria a try instead of whiskey. A potent drinking person’s version of the Spanish staple, it will knock you on your heels before cooling you down.

Cantina Los Caballitos, 1651 E. Passyunk Ave: More than any other spot on the avenue, this Mexican joint’s recently paved patio carved into the corner of Passyunk Street and Morris Street pulls in undecided diners roaming the area. On a nice day, it’s very difficult to walk directly past the consistently lively space. The tequila selection is vast — offering equal numbers of blancos, reposados, and añejos — so start with the introduction to tequila flight that allows one to test their palate. Margaritas, of course, are another way to get that fix, and Cantina serves up a solid array of flavors on the rocks, frozen or served up. Food wise, it is best to order up a few options to share. A couple of taco selections, an order of pork picadillo empanadas, and platanos machos (fried sweet plantains) to balance things will make for a light but filling meal that leaves room for drinks and won’t leave patrons sweating in the summer air.

Karina’s n By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

don’t know how many Italian restaurants there are in the city, but I do know that the price ranges go from very expensive to quite moderate. I have reviewed every Italian restaurant in South Philly. While I was on the Internet, I discovered that Karina’s recently moved from the East Passyunk Crossing neighborhood to Queen Village. I enjoyed my 2003 meal there and wanted to see its new quarters and check out the menu. The atmosphere was close to perfection. The walls are painted a sunny yellow enhanced by pretty artwork. Bright red hanging lights made it easy to read the menu and see the food. The music was a fine selection of jazz, opera and show tunes specifically “And another 100 people just got off of the train,” from Stephen Sondheim’s ground-breaking Broadway musical “Company.” It immediately made me think of the great Elaine Stritch, who was a member of the original cast, who died July 17 at the age of 89. That said, I looked forward to dinner. Our server opened our wine and recited a list of specials. Although the main focus is on Italian fare, there is a separate list of South American and Spanish dishes as well. Homemade semolina bread arrived crisp from the oven. From the antipasti we selected bolitas de mozzarella ($10) and antipasto riviero ($11). The former consisted of rolls formed from mozzarella and prosciutto topped with a sauce of anchovies and heady porcini mushrooms. We were surprised to discover this starter Fast Break Millie’s Luncheonette & Ice Cream: 1441 W. Shunk St., 215467-8553, $ Philadium: 1631 Packer Ave., 215271-5220, philadiumtavern.com, $

was served hot, but it was a twist on the classic cool mozzarella and prosciutto I make at home. The sauce was truly rich and satisfying, and the anchovies lent a fine flavor. The shellfish appetizer was just OK. Mussels, clams, one small but well cooked scallop, three rings of squid (no tentacles here), one small shrimp and a few more the size of a newborn’s thumbnail were served in a white wine garlic sauce with minced parsley. Unfortunately, the mussels were scrawny. The dazzling list of pastas can be ordered as an appetizer portion. We decided to share the fettuccine with lamb ragu ($16). It was immediately obvious that the fresh egg pasta ribbons were homemade and well prepared. I have had beef, rabbit and wild boar ragu but never one made with lamb. This thick sauce is one that the late Marcella Hazan has written, “must cling to the pasta.” This tomato-based version was very thin and contained very little minced lamb. There was an aroma wafting from my bowl that was very pleasant. It could have been a dash of cumin that enhanced the flavor. We decided to order two specials of the evening for our entrees. A large thick slice of boneless pork loin ($28) was stuffed with fresh spinach, mozzarella cheese and sundried tomatoes and finished in a rich dark demi-glace. It was an Italian take on the classic French galantine. When we cut into the meat, it was a bit pink inside, as overcooked pork is most unpleasant. A mix of carrots, green beans, broccoli and cauliflower made me think of a bag Restaurant Review:

of Green Giant frozen vegetables straight from the 80s, but these were fresh yet underseasoned. A roasted potato wedge was included on the plate. Tuna alla Livornese ($25) is as Italian as one can get. The sauce is prepared with tomatoes, capers and green olives. It is reduced to a slight thickness so it can nap the fish with flavor. I have never seen a slice of very thin tuna shaped into a large oval until my dinner arrived. The pleasure of tuna is its thickness. Still, the fish was not overcooked and the portion quite generous. I love a tartufo for dessert. This one ($7) was made with a small scoop of French vanilla ice cream, rolled in chocolate shavings and served with whipped cream.

I prefer the thick, rich chocolate coating because of the crunch one gets when biting into it. The service was excellent although we had to wait at least 20 minutes for our antipasti even though we were the only guests in the room. The service picked up as the evening progressed.

Martorano’s Bucatini Carbonara

tepping into the newly opened Martorano’s at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, guests quickly notice this is not the typical upscale Italian res-

Chef Steve Martorano

taurant, as disco balls dangle from the ceiling and unedited clips of “Casino” and “The Untouchables” play on the screens. Meanwhile the maestro behind this unique dining concept — Grays Ferry native Steve Martorano wearing a white T-shirt, cargo shorts and bright red baseball cap with his trademark “Yo cuz!” saying — is stationed behind the open kitchen space working his culinary magic. His July opening at the Jersey Shore marks a homecoming of sorts for the King of Peace and Bishop Neumann grad who also has locations in South Florida and Las Vegas. “It’s the greatest feeling in the world,” he said. “The last memory I have of Atlantic City was when I was broke and looking for money to pay my toll. But now my name is in lights!” Friday, Martorano spent the majority of the night in his comfort zone, only stepping away briefly to say hello to his guests.

Authentic

Believe it or not, he does not consider himself a chef. “I didn’t go to school for cooking. But I started selling sandwiches door to door in South Philly, and if that’s not a humbling experience, I don’t know what is,” Martorano recalled. “But people knew who to call for the best Italian sandwiches in the world. I got my cooking chops from my mother, and everyone loves that good, flavorful food born in South Philly.” Martorano is sharing one of those dishes — his Bucatini Carbonara. “This Bucatini Carbonara is the Italian-American version of this dish. I use heavy cream, but in Italy, they don’t,” he said. “I once made this version for Tom Cruise at Jimmy Kimmel’s house – Tom didn’t know what hit him, ha!” Martorano isn’t finished with expanding his culinary empire as he is opening another location at Paris Las Vegas later this year. For his fellow South Philadel-

phians inspired by his success story, the former resident of the 1800 block of South Newkirk Street has some inspirational advice. “Never give up — there’s nothing stronger than those words,” he said.

SUNRISE 11/20/1942

Rose Marie was a remarkably strong and beautiful woman, beautiful in every way.

SUNSET 08/01/2007

We remember her as not only a hard working and loving wife and mother but as an exceptional grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Every day that was spent with Rose will be cherished and her life celebrated. She deserved the whole world but instead of trying to obtain it she made it so her family received every bit of love and happiness she had to offer and for that we thank her.

Seven years have gone by Miss you like it was yesterday. Love, Marie

Your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Mabel Trant It’s hard to put into words the thanks we would like to express for the thoughtfulness and sympathy everyone has given us during this difficult time.

Allen wrench

Fans are campaigning to correct a former Phillie’s omission from the Hall of Fame. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

ark “Frog” Carfagno is clamoring to clap for Dick Allen one more time. The former Philadelphia Phillies’ grounds crew member began as a fan of the slugger before forging a nearly 40-year friendship with him and is going to bat for his hero in the hopes that the Historical Oversight and Veterans committees will grant him Hall of Fame status. Carfagno and roughly four dozen backers united Friday at Ashburn Field, 1954 Pattison Ave., to promote his prowess as a hitter and relay their regard for his humanity. “We all know Dick Allen is not much of a self-promoter,” the Southwest Philly dweller said of the in-limbo figure, who logged 15 seasons in the majors, including nine campaigns with the Phils. “It’s up to us to be his voice and see to it that he receives his due.” Many of Carfagno’s peers supported that sentiment by donning shirts bearing Allen’s no. 15 and the message “He won’t campaign so we’ll explain.” Their gathering coincided with last weekend’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y., an event they are yearning for their star to star in next summer. For Allen to become a diamond immortal, the 11-person Historical Oversight Committee, comprised of Baseball Writers’ Association of America constituents, must include his name on the Golden Era ballot for those who played primarily between 1947 and ’72, with Allen having suited up from ’63 to ’77. If he makes the list, his fate would become a December matter for the Veterans Committee, with a 75-percent vote needed for entry. “I have so many memories of watching him crush home runs and of him being a great guy who loved the little people like me,” Carfagno said, drawing laughs when explaining how Allen, upon his ’75 return to Philadelphia after stints in St. Louis, Los Angeles and Chicago, responded to the worker’s “Welcome back” greeting with “Alright, Kotter, welcome back,” a nod to the sitcom “Welcome Back, Kotter.” “I’d love to make more.” Carfagno has especially courted companions for his thinking since February 2013 when Dick Allen Jr. notified him of the Golden Era opportunity. The Chicago

Mark Carfagno has intensified his admiration for Dick Allen by heading the mission to have him enshrined in Cooperstown. P h o t o b y R i c h a r d Ba r n e s

White Sox, for whom his father won the 1972 American League MVP and home run crown, eventually decided not to back the powerful right-handed presence for enshrinement, with Carfagno learning, and ultimately agreeing, that the Phillies should lead the charge. As the administrator for the Dick Allen Belongs in the Hall of Fame Facebook group page, he has tirelessly touted its namesake’s talent, which few have refuted, and defended his character, which many have maligned. “He had a big target on his back,” Carfagno said of the ’64 National League Rookie of the Year, whom many media sources deemed a disturbance to team chemistry, stances that a 55-page document proclaiming not only his statistical feats but also his cordial nature is seeking to silence. “He didn’t fit everyone’s taste, but he shouldn’t need to wait any longer to

join other legends in Cooperstown.” “People should look at the numbers more than the controversies,” Allen Jr. added of his patriarch, who, according to Phillies’ public address announcer Dan Baker, another Friday attendee, exerted a profound influence on Philadelphia’s ’60s identity as an African-American athlete. “I know there were moments when everything wasn’t blissful, but the figures are there, and, frankly, so was the commitment to being a great man. Will these efforts work? We certainly hope so.” The elder Allen debuted in September ’63 as a highly scrutinized 21-year-old. In his first full campaign, he topped the senior circuit in extra base hits, runs, total bases and triples and amassed 201 hits. He earned three All-Star Game selections and belted 177 of his 351 home runs during

pro sports at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php his first sojourn with the Phils, adding 27 more over the ’75 and ’76 seasons. Critics contend his output cannot hold up against that of his peers, but the aforementioned report includes charts that champion Allen as a potent run producer on par with or ahead of such luminaries as Hank Aaron, Harmon Killebrew and Willie Mays. “It was like watching God hit a baseball,” Richie Ashburn Jr., whose father played most of his Hall of Fame career as a Phillie, said of Allen, who engineered 10 years, including six local seasons, with at least 20 round trippers. “There was something about him that was really special.” Despite Ashburn’s estimation of his credentials as celestial, the 72-year-old Wampum, Pa. native failed to garner more than 18.9 percent of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America vote during his 15-year tenure on the Hall of Fame ballot. Regardless of tallies that judge Allen’s totals, Bill Jenkinson wants all parties to know that emotional evidence matters as much as quantifiable data. “He picked me up out of my doldrums,” the baseball historian said. “He hit some shots. Isn’t that why we watch baseball, or even sports, to see something we’ve never seen before? Dick Allen was responsible for that for me.” “I thought of him as regal and majestic,” film and television director and producer Mike Tollin, who fell for Allen as an 8-year-old fan in ’64 and who has deemed his dream project a part documentary, part feature about the hitter, said. “I started as a follower and them became a friend, and the second is even better than the first.” Tollin spoke of the campaign as offering vindication because of its emphasis on ripping away perceptions of Allen as a troublemaker. Longtime sports writer Stan Hochman touched on that, too, when noting the fifth paragraph of the nomination paperwork asks scribes to detail their knowledge of a nominee’s personality. “I think people have overlooked his contributions on and off the field,” the journalist said. “It’s time to correct that.” “I believe he should be in,” Carfagno concluded. “He brought us so much joy. This is the least we could do.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
