h, it’s massive. There’s no way around it. It’s huge, it’s absolutely huge and it’s a real challenge and a real opportunity,” Lindsey Scannapieco, managing partner and principal of Scout Ltd LLC., said. Her company successfully won the competitive open auction for the vacant Edward W. Bok School, 1901 S. Ninth St., facilitated by the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) on

behalf of the School District of Philadelphia and the School Reform Commission. “It’s an iconic South Philadelphia building. Our attraction to Bok is that it has this incredible architecture and history,” Scannapieco, the daughter of ultra-luxe longtime Philadelphia developer Tom Scannapieco (famous for leading and selling out 1706 Rittenhouse), said. “It’s very structurally sound. It’s an incredible space. I think there are some things that are hard to repurpose, and we have some really creative solutions for that and I hope we’re successful at that — it’s challenging

and exciting.” Bok was one of the nearly 20 buildings for sale that came on the market earlier this year and went live on a PIDC-created website in May. After a competitive bid process for the East Passyunk Crossing legend, which closed in June 2013, Scannapieco’s Scout emerged the winner. The nearly 350,000 square-foot building sold for $2.1 million. “We sent out [information] to a list of developers, consultants, realtors, brokers, attorneys See BOK PURCHASE page 10 >>

To the Editor: The American Heart Association is cheering the actions of the Philadelphia City Council, the Pennsylvania General Assembly and Gov. Tom Corbett following the recent passage of legislation that will allow the City to levy a $2-per-pack cigarette tax aimed at funding the city’s schools and reducing higher than average smoking rates among city residents. This tax increase will amount to the largest single state or municipal cigarette tax hike in U.S. history! Smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death in the United States. Smokers have a higher risk of developing many chronic disorders, including atherosclerosis — the buildup of fatty substances in the arteries — which can lead to coronary heart disease and stroke. For many years we’ve understood and studied, and collected data that demonstrates conclusively that:

Healthier all-around 1. Increasing cigarette taxes reduces smoking and discourages youth initiation of smoking 2. An immediate reduction in heart attacks and strokes results from decreasing smoking rates The results of prevention efforts often take years to be seen in the data, but not with smoking and heart disease. The reduced risks of heart attacks and strokes begin in the minutes after exposure is eliminated. The American Heart Association was proud to watch the Philadelphia City Council, the Pennsylvania House and Senate, and Corbett enact this tax. While we would have preferred not to have the five-year sunset provision that was included in the law, and will encourage decision makers to remove that provision when the time comes, this is still a tremendous step forward for health in the City of Brotherly Love. We are grateful for the healthier hearts that

Fielding the opposition To the Editor: This is in reference to the “This Park is our Park” article that was in the Sept. 18 South Philly Review. Many neighbors are deeply offended by not just the headline, but also by the premise that 25 people can speak for more than 5,000 residents who live in the area surrounding Columbus Square Recreation Center. Though the field needs improvement, we are outraged the expansion of the dog park, as well as the proposed walking gardens, supersedes the

needs of area children. Many of these children are in need of space to play organized sport programs that should be within walking distance of their homes. Is the committee of 25 aware of the fact that the Mid-Atlantic Little League Champion Taney Dragons are a product of this park? Do they know that the Palumbo Soccer Club, as well as the Academy at Palumbo Soccer team, utilizes the field? Where will they play? The children are future residents as well as future taxpayers. We find it mind-boggling that the needs of dogs in the neighborhood would be more important than the needs of children. What is also of concern to many of the neighborhood is that the walking gardens would attract many night vices. Though the article states that many of the residents in the neighborhood support the proposed changes and there is little opposition to this plan, how could there be opposition when there was no notification put forth for neighbors to become informed? Many of us have tried to contact [Columbus Square Advisory Council] President Ilene Wilder and Vice President Chris DiCapua, but have yet to receive a response. Our neighborhood already sacrificed a playing field to “progress.” Capitolo has a nice rental garden in a former field of dream. Are we to lose another field to the wishes of 25 people? For those of us who are just catching on, there are meetings scheduled for the third Thursday of every month at the Columbus Square Recreation Center. It is time to show up and voice your opinion on these proposed changes to everyone’s park/ recreation center. Nicholas Innaurato CM Krakauskas South Philadelphia

POLICE REPORT

Girard Estate inhabitant Ronald Galati could serve up to 15 years in prison for hiring men to kill his daughter’s boyfriend. As first reported in the Jan. 9 South Philly Review, the resident of the 2500 Ronald Galati block of South Garnet Street went to jail in December due to findings from a nearly 18-month insurance fraud investigation surrounding his auto body shop. According to an affidavit, Galati hired two gunmen to kill a fellow proprietor who had testified against him during the investigation. The document also noted he schemed to have the rival’s son terminated, as well as his daughter’s beau, Atlantic City resident Andrew Tuono. Police said no attempts on the other businessman and his offspring occurred but that hired guns shot Tuono in November. The affidavit states Galati offered the supposed shooters $20,000 each for killing the first two figures. On Monday, the 63-year-old businessman learned part of his fate at a Camden-situated scheduling conference on charges of attempted murder, solicitation

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

of murder, conspiracy, retaliation against a witness or victim and witness intimidation.

Inn-coming trouble Police are looking for a man who pulled off an armed robbery of the Holiday Inn on Monday. At approximately 4 a.m., detectives learned of the matter at the site, 900 Packer Ave., and met with the hotel receptionist and security head, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The figures reported that at 3:20 a.m., the offender entered the establishment through the front door and demanded the receptionist to “Give me all your money.” She complied, with the individual fleeing on South Darien Street with a $400-containing metal box. The worker described the man as black, in his 20s and 5-foot-6; having a medium build and complexion; wearing sunglasses, a black or dark hoody, a red bandana and dark pants; and armed with a small black handgun. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Good Samaritan injured A man who tried to stop a fight across the street from Xfinity Live!, 1100 Pattison Ave., ended up losing consciousness Saturday. Responding to a radio call of a Fight on the Highway at 2:05 a.m., police observed a large crowd right across from the venue. Dispersing the onlookers, they found the complainant unconscious on the ground, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The individual’s brother relayed that as the two were trying to hail a cab after leaving Xfinity Live!, they saw several people running to the middle of 11th Street and Pattison Avenue, where they began a fight. His sibling ran into the crowd to suppress the violence, but one male knocked him to the ground, with another stomping his head, Tolliver said. The witness said the Good Samaritan lost consciousness then, with the aggressors running away right after the incident. Authorities arranged for transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, with the victim’s status unknown as of press time. The witness could not provide a description of the first offender, but described the second as white, 5-foot10 to 6 foot, 185 to 195 pounds and 20 to 25 years old; and wearing a red Phillies cap backwards. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Monetary mishap A gun wielder robbed a man in East Passyunk Crossing last week.

POLICE REPORT At 4:15 a.m. Sept. 21, the complainant heard footsteps coming from behind him as he walked along the 800 block of Watkins Street. Turning back to look, he encountered an unknown male who pointed a gun at him to demand money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He handed his wallet to the stranger, who removed $20 from it before also taking his cell phone. The thief pointed the gun at the man’s head and instructed him to turn around and walk away, Tolliver said, with the victim doing so and catching the offender walking eastbound along Seventh Street. He described the individual as black, 20 to 25 years old and cleanshaven; having a clean build; wearing a gray hoody; and wielding a gun. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Bankable offense

Police busted a Newbold man for allegedly conspiring with four other males to commit a robbery last week. Walking along the 1500 block of Passyunk Avenue at 8:40 p.m. Sept. 22, the victim encountered a figure who supposedly pulled out a handgun and demanded his iPhone, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant stated he had no such item, leading a second individual to approach from behind, hit him in the head and punch his face. The first offender reportedly used his weapon to deliver additional blows to the head, with the victim attempting to fight off both aggressors as three of their peers watched the incident. One of the figures

Eight is enough Police are searching for the person(s) responsible for applying spray paint to eight vehicles in Queen Village last week. Authorities responded at 8:06 p.m. Sept. 20 to a call of a vandalism on the 1000 block of South Randolph Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant told them that his 2003 Green Ford, along with an ’08 Gray Dodge, a ’00 White Ford, an ’06 Black Saab, an ’11 Gray Toyota and Red Honda, a 1992 Red Ford and a ’12 Black Jaguar, suffered spray paint damage. Authorities had no leads as of press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

grabbed his bag, which contained clothing, and fled the scene with the others, Tolliver said. With descriptions from the injured man, who was bleeding from the head, officers relayed flash information over police radio, with a pair of their colleagues finding two males who matched the description on the 2000 block of South 16th Street. Following a positive identification by the prey, they arrested 24-year-old Khaleef Groover, of the 2100 block of South 15th Street, and charged him with assault, recklessly endangering another person, robbery, firearms violations and possession of an instrument of crime.

A masked man relieved a South of South money institution of approximately $6,000 last week. At 11:57 a.m. Sept. 24, the offender entered Sharon Savings Bank and demanded that a teller empty money into a bag that he was carrying, Detective Danielle Tolliver said. She placed the top drawer’s contents into his holder and complied when he insisted on having the second drawer’s cash, too. He fled on foot, with the employee observing him heading northbound on 19th Street. She described the suspect as being of an unknown race; being in his early 30s, 5-foot-11 to 6 foot; having a thin build; wearing a mask with bright red lipstick, a black long-sleeve shirt, black pants and gloves; and carrying a black bag. Authorities did not know if he had a weapon on him. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

South Philly-inspired fashion Three companies are selling T-shirts, bags and towels with a distinctly local touch ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

t a birthday party on the 1900 block of South Alder Street last weekend, Jade Gasper was wearing a “King of Jeans” T-shirt with bright yellow “South Philly” lettering underneath it. She’s a creative consultant for Mark It Alternatives, but gave all the credit to Adam Woods, the owner of Camden Printworks and a Passyunk Square resident. “We have a ton of South Philly folks working here, but we’re in Camden very intentionally,” Woods said with a charming Tennessean drawl. The Knoxville native moved to the Keystone State to attend Eastern University in 2000 and has been here ever since. He’s watched South Philly evolve over the years and is using what he’s seen to improve Camden in his own way. “One of the solutions to make it a nice place is to have more open businesses, and there’s nowhere you can learn that more than in South Philly — where it’s a really safe place to go because there are open businesses on every block,” he said. His company produces screen-printed shirts for a handful of neighborhood businesses: “We have a ton of customers in South Philly alone — we do shirts for the South Philly Food Co-op, Wash Cycle Laundry and Wake Up Yoga,” he said, listing a few of their regulars. But the “King of Jeans South Philly” T-shirt might be what they’re most famous for. “Sometimes we fire off a design of our own just for giggles and to build the business. [The King of Jeans design] was basically like a never-forget homage to a landmark in our neighborhood that might not be around much longer,” he explained. At the corner of 13th Street and East Passyunk Avenue sits the legendary business and sign — the retailer was in business for 40 years and closed in 2012. The space is set to become a five-story retail, office and 12-apartment complex, and the sign’s fate is in question. Izak Farbiarz ran the family-owned business since the late 1970s and the sign went up in ’94. Angel from Angel’s Airbrush, or The Airbrush Place, 1814 S. 13th St., is credited with the sketch and design. As many have suggested, it’s like a Duran Duran video come to life and then frozen in time. There are whispers of the sign making its way to the Philadelphia History Museum. “We were inspired by the sign, but we wanted to change the graphic a little bit to kind of have an Atlantic City/Las Vegas/neon vibe to turn it into lit-up signage just to make it a little more fabulous, as if it wasn’t as fabulous to start,” Woods explained. When the store closed, Woods said he and his co-workers “were like Oh Nooo — that’s what kicked us in the pants.”

Advertising in 2014 isn’t quite so garishly bold, something Woods finds fascinating. “It’s hilarious – most people’s advertising isn’t that fabulous. Most advertisers are trying to tamely convince you to buy their product and to offend as few people as possible,” he said. Not of Farbiarz’s sign, though. “This is from another attitude. The attitude that created this sign doesn’t exist anymore. So I think that’s what we like about it — it’s just a landmark.” WOODS HAS WORKED with Sara Villari at Occasionette, 1825 E. Passyunk Ave., for years now, helping her screen print tea towels and gifts for her Girls Can Tell Gift Company. Her storefront, which opened in April ’13, used to be the Barack Obama campaign headquarters, and she’d been eyeing it for years. “I feel an allegiance to the neighborhood. I had a studio around the corner on the 1200 block of Pierce [Street], and I knew that eventually they’d have to move out. So I contacted the owner of the building to plead my case to say I really, really, really want to rent that space,” Villari said. She’s carrying King of Jeans South Philly tea towels, and they’re a hit. “We just want to have the best selection of gifts in Philadelphia — we just want to be the go-to place for gifts,” Villari, and listing some of their specialties said,: “Cards for any occasion at all; birthday gifts; housewares; candles; calendars; stationary; accessories; baby gifts.” On the South Philly tea towels (which she said are basically fancy lint-free dish towels), she said “Adam does my screenprinting and that’s how we came up with this little collaboration. He’d been making those great King of Jeans T-shirts, and so we partnered up to do a King of Jeans towel.” Fans of South Philly-themed apparel and products were

excited to see Sarah O’Donnell’s The Billy Penn Transport Co. website go live Sept. 15. It cleverly uses the line “Where do you get off?” and O’Donnell’s designed canvas totes that include a subway mosaic of stop identities, including: Lombard, Ellsworth-Federal, Tasker-Morris and Snyder. Oregon is in the works. O’Donnell’s a Tyler School of Art graduate and longtime resident of North Philly and Fishtown. She moved to New York City about a month ago and got the inspiration for the bag line underground. “When I got here, I was noticing the mosaics that they have here in stations and then I realized – Oh, Philly has those, too.” She also started seeing her fellow subway commuters carrying totes for a book and umbrella everywhere. “In a way, it’s like my love letter to Philadelphia,” she said and mentioned that her father works for SEPTA and her parents are locals. “I don’t currently live there, but it’ll always be home, and it’s also my stop, even if I’m riding a different transit system.” Her stop is Cecil B. Moore — there are Market Frankford Line stops, too, totaling 20 when she gets the Oregon bag up. “There was a request for Oregon. I worked on that this week, and I haven’t added it to the shop just yet,” she said. It’s worth noting that Billy Penn has teamed with SEPTA’s Pass Perks program and if you own a TrailPass, TransPass, One Day Independence Pass or are a SEPTA employee ID holder, you can use HEARTMYSTOP at checkout to receive 10 percent off your purchase. She says the site’s been getting loads of traffic but not too many orders. She’s working on getting them to Philadelphia retailers, like Occasionette, as soon as she can.

BOK PURCHASE continued from page 1 and builders,” Tom Dalfo, PIDC’s senior vice president, said. “Thirty people registered and signed a waiver form for Bok. There were seven proposals.” Four were accepted, two backed down and then Scout’s offer and vision cemented the deal. They intend to turn the school into a mixed-use creative community with work spaces, apartments and potential for firstfloor offices or businesses. The plan is to renovate the ground floor and start with parking, and then as the community begins to use and occupy the bottom floor, work will begin on the seven floors above. It’s one of Scannapieco’s specialties. She recently called London home and worked famously on Olympic Games spaces, and as her press release states, tapped “into her extensive international experience working on vacant space activation and community engagement.” One of her main priorities is getting this school opened and occupied as quickly as possible. “Parking was one of the first things we looked at with this buiding. That’s kind of the key to unlocking this space,” Scannapieco divulged. “There’s no way you’re going to do anything with 350,000 square feet without parking. We’re proposing to not put any additional pressure on the South Philly community.” They’re starting by working on the underground basement and sub-basement this week. “We have a parking team looking at that structure, and we think we’ll be able to meet all of our parking needs and exceed zoning [requirements],” Scannapieco added, sounding confident. “The ground floor itself is nearly 80,000 square feet.

Garbage accumulation, drug dealing and unchecked parking are problems for the vacant school. S ta f f P h o t o b y B i l l C h e nevert

“I HAVE HEARD about a creative space, some studios, some community office spaces. That would be an amazing development here,” Becca O’Brien, a resident of the 1900 block of South Ninth Street who lives across the street and uses a small gated green space at the southeast corner of South Ninth and Mifflin streets to play with her dog, said. “There is an actual drug problem on this corner,” adding that, if anything, she’s excited to see someone do something about the “cesspool of trash –

businesses throw their trash here.” The vacant school has attracted some wanton behaviors, like trash dumping. And on the 800 block of Dudley Street, a great deal of parking is going unchecked. “Nobody tows – there’s tons of unregulated parking,” Aaron Johnson, a newly arrived resident of the block from Wilmington, Del., said. He’s a photographer and bartender and finds the idea of creative spaces thrilling — better than crack deals. “A lot of people pick up their crack [here] because there’s ample parking and half the street can’t witness it,” he said. “We’re lucky that Bok’s been closed for a little over a year,” Scannapieco, noting that some school purchases aren’t as tidy, said. “We want to make sure that people feel that it’s their space again. A space they can use and a real asset to them and their community.” Scout is about to embark on a rigorous community engagement campaign coupled with zoning hearings about converting the single-residence status to mixed use, in-

many people that’s not even the size of the building” they’re working with, she said. Scout will also be confronted with the fact that Bok, designed by Irwin Catharine in 1938, has a famous art deco exterior, one that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in ’86. “The historical context is very important. That was the inspiration to work with creating a space that encourages makers, entrepreneurs, and learning because that’s what Bok has always done,” Scannapieco said.

cluding mutli-family apartments. “We’re waiting to hear what they’re going to do and exactly what they’re going to apply for. We’ll have an informal meeting first to gather feedback and then we’ll have a presentation at a later date,” East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association zoning chair David Goldfarb said. He couldn’t comment much because it’s a pending zoning case but did say that Scannipieco approached their board and said that “Lindsey is very interested in getting feedback from the community.” “Now that we’ve been selected as the developer, we’ll be leading a much more robust engagement. We’re going to be starting the process and putting out some dates about meeting with the community,” Scannapieco said. “I’ve been getting a lot of e-mails of support and enthusiasm from the neighborhood.” One such email, she said, came from Edward Bok’s grandson. “We’re open at this point. There’s a concept and a proposal, and what we’re really looking at is engaging with the community and potential operators and we’re starting to massage that into something real,” she added. Scannapieco just bought a house in South Philly, too, and said she plans on really sinking her teeth into her new ’hood. She’s Fairmount and suburbs-raised, but her grandparents are South Philly natives. The PIDC says it’s her vision to mix the uses of the space that won her company the bid. “With the mix of uses I think that seemed to be, from our perspective, an innovative and an appropriate approach for a property of that scale,” Dalfo said.

An East Passyunk Crossing dweller is choreographing the combat for a burgeoning theater company’s production of “Macbeth.”

or nearly half of his life, Sean Bradley has thought of theater as a thrilling means to muse on the meaning of life. The owner of an ever-growing acting resumé, the 27-year-old artistic associate for Revolution Shakespeare is calling on his combat competence as the fight choreographer for his year-old company’s production of “Macbeth” at Hawthorne Park, 12th and Catharine streets. “We wanted something that would be a bit jolting and shocking,” the East Passyunk Crossing inhabitant said of Revolution Shakespeare’s inaugural full production situated at the green space. “The play is pretty violent, so this is definitely not a clean production.” Bradley and his peers, many of whom reside in South Philly, including director Allison Heishman and company artistic director Griffin StantonAmeisen, are offering their free take on the tragedy tomorrow through Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. They have infused the action with New Orleans-inspired elements, offering contemporary components to the 17th-century text. Bradley has used the treatment to ponder what types of weapons and fighting styles will work best in addressing the titular character’s corrupt courtship of dominion and finds himself pleased with the results. “There’s a tribal nature to the aggression,” the troupe’s resident fight choreographer, who holds proficiency in the Society of American Fight Directors’ eight weapons classification, said of Macbeth’s murderous methods. “It explores how people have grown to survive in a violent world.” C O M B AT P H O T O P R O V I D E D

SEAN BRADLEY

LIFESTYLES Revolution Shakespeare, which held an enhanced staged reading of “Henry VI, Part III” at Hawthorne Park last October, made its full production debut with this summer’s “Five Kings” at The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Bradley appeared in the piece, but for this effort, he elected to focus solely on choreography so as to give the provocative play the attention it deserves. “Everyone knows the work, so it has an academic quality that attracts people,” the key contributor, who has fashioned a few weapons for the eight-night run, said of part of the allure of “the Scottish play.” “When I joined Revolution Shakespeare, I foresaw having many opportunities to put on excellent productions and having a chance to work with great people. I think ‘Macbeth’ is the perfect choice for our second Hawthorne Park stop. Plus, the work is very seasonal with witches and ghosts. It’s just great to explore that, especially outdoors.” Finding South Philly a welcoming expanse for his ilk, Bradley loves that he is helping Hawthorne Park, which has come to acquire renown through numerous events, such as a well-received jazz series, since its 2012 inception, to stage its first complete theatrical event. Though dealing

with dark material, he sees the script as providing a perfect outlet for understanding the link between performers and patrons. “We all want to make connections with audiences,” Bradley said. “No matter the type of work, we’re looking to prove how effective that theater can be, especially when done well, at presenting good stories. There’s an invigorating aspect to live action, and it gets us excited when we know people are coming to us not just for entertainment but for knowledge, too.” THOUGH HE BEGAN his theatrical journey “just for fun” when a medical matter kept him from pursuing soccer success, the insightful individual quickly came to consider a state-situated existence as a way to help others to refrain from feeling solitary and to begin to establish solidarity. Becoming one of his Delaware-based high school’s most reliable and enthusiastic presences, he also regarded acting as a profound provider of maturation, with one dominant part of his personality assisting his growth. “I think I have a more heightened awareness of my abilities as an actor because I have a good sense of empathy,” Bradley said. “I can’t judge my characters and see

it as a bonus to me that I really want to explore the full range of their humanity.” Desiring a solid college program, he relocated to Philadelphia to attend the University of the Arts Ira Brind School of Theater Arts. Immensely familiar with the city’s often rough-and-tumble identity, he courted, rather than cowered from, distinction within his new environs. “I loved that the campus was the real world,” Bradley, who graduated in ’09, the same year he moved to South Philly, said. “It’s there I learned stage combat, and I’ve really enjoyed exploring my knack for it.” The fortunate figure, who in ’11 and ’12 found fight instructor employment through his alma mater’s pre-college summer institute, has helped numerous Philadelphia and New York entities to bolster their focus on physicality and gained international exposure and expertise when earning a First Class Honors Master of Arts in Drama and Performance Studies at University College Dublin. Aside from his penchant for promoting positional proficiency, Bradley has forged acting credits through behemoths such as the Quintessence Theatre Group, the Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre and the Arden Theatre Co., where, in a “small world” example, he will perform in next year’s “Macbeth.”

“No matter what sort of job I have had, I’ve moved beyond the consummate outsider vview that I’ve often had about myself, and I’ve just done what I could to make everything go well,” Bradley, also a Montgomery County Community College instructor, said. “Especially here in Philadelphia, there’s so much good work going on and more to come.” His reverence for what has won hearts and what could compel even more viewers to think of theater as an emotional balm led Bradley to partner with Stanton-Ameisen et al in August ’13, the same month as his wedding to wife Clare. Not only a buff of the Bard, as he will prove next month as Jim in Act II Playhouse’s “The Glass Menagerie,” he reveres Revolution Shakespeare’s overall mission to stress the intensity of human experience, regardless of whose name appears on the title page. “This has been an active year for me, and it’s been great to have such amazing colleagues to share the journey with,” Bradley said. “It sounds like a cliché to say acting is what I was meant to do, but I have to say I love what I’m doing.” SPR Visit revolutionshakespeare.org.

LIFESTYLES

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Hey cumare!

rowing up Italian, you learn that nobody’s gravy is better than your mother’s, and also, how to use the word “cumare” correctly to reflect its proper meaning. A cumare can be many things. If your mother had a cumare, the word meant “very close friend.” You had to be special to be a cumare. We had a Cumare Jean in the family. She was never referred to as Jean, always Cumare Jean. During the first 10 years of my life, I thought cumare was Jean’s first name. She was a lovely and gregarious lady. One time she called me while I was on the air at WIP doing a sports talk show and she said, “Hi, Tom, we’re so proud of you. This is your Cumare Jean from Yeadon.” The Urban Dictionary claims that cumare meant “godmother” among the people of southern Italy. That may be the case, but Cumare Jean was not my godmother. My godmother was named Mary, but was never referred to as Cumare Mary. Mary took her role as godmother very seriously, so much so that for my birthday she always sent me a money order for $5 tucked inside a birthday card. That might not sound unusual, but Mary kept sending me that $5 money order until I was in my mid-40s (the money orders only stopped when Mary died peacefully in old age). The annual money order was not the most impressive thing about Godmother Mary. I always felt the thing that stood out about Mary was she stopped talking to her husband not long after she was married. They refused to separate because neither wanted the other to have the house. Mary continued to live with Angelo for 40 years without a word passing between them. Family rumor had it that Angelo was a cheater, but the man could do anything in the house. As my mother said, “Angelo has hands of gold.” The masculine version of cumare is cumpare (refer to the dippy Julius La Rosa song). If you are a cumpare, you are a special male friend. Back in the day, cumpares didn’t hang out in sports bars wearing Brian Dawkins jerseys, eating chicken wings and downing Bud Lights; usually, they played cards together or went fishing. My father didn’t have a cumpare, but I believe my grandfather did. I don’t remember the man’s actual name, but everybody loved him. His distinguishing feature, as I remember it as a boy, was that I never heard him speak anytime I was around him, which was

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

mostly during the holidays. He suffered no disability along those lines, as far as I knew. He always had a smile on his face and just seemed happy we remembered to invite him to family gatherings. I always felt that he would’ve been the perfect partner for Godmother Mary, you know, not speaking while living in the same house. My father-in-law had a cumpare by the name of Dominic. I know this because every time my wife and I walk down Wolf Street, she reminds me that Cumpare Dominic used to live on the street. Sometimes I beat her to it and remind her that Cumpare Dominic lived on the street just to annoy her. My wife can’t explain why, but my fatherin-law’s closest friend Sabatine was not called cumpare. Sabatine was a delightful man with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes who was prone to still wear the original sneakers he was issued during World War II. Sabatine (nicknamed “Reds”) did not believe in discarding anything that was still useful. At the Shore one time, Sabatine was sent to the corner store to buy paper napkins, but somehow returned with sanitary napkins. He didn’t have a clue as to what all the fuss was about. Right about here, I ought to alert you that there is a big difference between the usage of cumare and cumpare. If a man has a cumare, the word means mistress. Fans of “The Sopranos” will remember that Uncle June had a cumare (I believe he stashed her in Boca). Back in the day, married Italian women were not supposed to have a lover, hence cumpare was not used in the same way when it came to an illicit affair between a married woman and a man. Between my wife’s family and my own, there were a number of uncles who kept a cumare on the side. One such uncle always had a “card game” to attend on a Saturday night while his wife feigned ignorance. The rest of us knew there had to be a cumare in the picture because he religiously never missed a card game. His wife always lobbied for family functions to be held on another night of the week, which became awkward when Christmas fell on a Saturday. I’m not sure how the word cumare evolved from being a close friend to a mistress to today’s meaning of “old-fashioned.” If you are a woman who is not stylish, other Italian women will typically say to one another, “She’s such a cumare.” It isn’t only how you dress, but how you carry yourself that makes you a cumare. Eliza Doolittle was a cumare. Regardless of how you may feel about their politics, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren are cumares. Nancy Pelosi, Anne Coulter and Sarah Palin are definitely not cumares. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Evaluating Fincher

Amy Elliott-Dunne (Rosamund Pike) takes on more signiﬁcance for husband Nick Dunne (Ben Afﬂeck) when she goes missing in the David Fincher thriller.

■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

ust how magical is David Fincher’s touch? It’s a popular question in film buff circles, since the director’s icy, yet intoxicatingly sharp, technique can seemingly elevate anything to the level of brooding art. Some might argue that Gillian Flynn’s blockbuster bestseller “Gone Girl” was brooding art to begin with — a taut and twisty mystery that violently upends one’s notion of the central character. But the story has its considerable drawbacks, and it needed all the formal help it could get not to become as hateable as some of its key figures. It mostly gets it in Fincher’s characteristically pristine adaptation, which tightens, yet remains faithful to, Flynn’s sickly satirical narrative about Nick and Amy (Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike), a floundering couple who wind up in the media spotlight when she goes missing and he becomes the prime suspect. The complications and resentments of marriage ride shotgun to the almost absurdly layered plot, which attempts to skewer tabloid culture and gender roles while delivering shock after asinine shock. The movie is supremely watchable, and moves at Fincher’s trademark breakneck clip. The good news is that the man behind “Se7en” and “The Social Network” fully recognizes Fynn’s novel as barbed pulp trash, and he heightens every thorny detail as a result. Flynn penned the script herself, and what changes she did make seem to be for the better — such as the grisly, incredible demise of a side character who met his end much more quietly (and less cinematically) in the book.

The trouble with “Gone Girl” is it’s a two-pronged missed opportunity. Though he gets a performance from Pike to rival that of his “Dragon Tattoo” gal Rooney Mara, Fincher has never depicted women well, and his union with Flynn is sadly not the exception to the rule. And while Flynn is hardly required, as a female author, to write women in any way other than the one she chooses, it’s tough to shake the sense that what she has chosen is counterintuitive in regard to “Gone Girl’s” warped feminist themes.

A dozen delights

ne of the great things about the oven is the little window that allows for a sneak peek of what’s cooking. Sometimes, the scents of the soon-to-be-served meal can be easily inhaled the moment the front door opens. Mildred Lloyd-Henderson’s Buttermilk Cheese Biscuits — although not the main course — will easily get that yummy-in-the-tummy sensation started. The good news is these round, can’t-wait-to-grab-one goodies spend less than 20 minutes on the baking rack. There is no need to make this a biscuit eating competition, as the resident of the 2400 block of South Manton Street said her recipe generously serves six to eight. SPR

INGREDIENTS: 5 cups of all-purpose ﬂour 2 cups of buttermilk 1 cup of cooking oil 1/4 cup of sugar 2 teaspoons of salt 3 teaspoons of baking powder 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese 8 ounces of shredded sharp

cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon of garlic powder 1 cup of sour cream

The Sidecar Bar & Grille ■ By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

fter days of cooking for Rosh Hashana, I was able to get out of the kitchen and enjoy Sunday brunch. Sam’s Morning Glory Diner, Sabrina’s Cafe, Hawthornes and Kraftwork are some of my favorites that I return to regularly because the fare is consistently good. Although I reviewed dinner at The Sidecar Bar & Grille when it opened a number of years ago, I wanted to try Sunday brunch. The doors open at 9 a.m., but that’s too early for me. I figured we could enjoy a late brunch without a wait. It worked. Edward and I arrived at 1:30 p.m. and snared two seats at the bar. Every table but one was taken. When The Sidecar opened, it immediately became a magnet for people in the neighborhood who wanted a drink and a bite to eat. A steaming mug of La Colombe coffee ($2.50) brightened up my taste buds while Edward went the old-fashioned way and ordered a screwdriver ($4). I have written about proper egg cookery on numerous occasions. The Sunday brunch chef at The Sidecar respects the egg. The cheddar cheese omelette ($10) was a glorious sight. It was the perfect French omelette. The eggs were golden yellow without a speck of nasty brown, and retained the creamy puffiness that defines the perfect offering. Aged cheddar was used inside the eggs before it was folded over. Patrons can add any fillings you wish, but Edward prefers a simple omelette. Crisp ovenroasted potatoes and a

The Sidecar Bar & Grille, located in South of South, earns favorable reviews for its popular Sunday brunch offerings. small salad came with the omelette. The greens were lightly dressed, which is always a good thing. I should mention that The Sidecar is owned by the same people who own Kraftwork. The sister establishment makes the best from-scratch scrapple this side of Lancaster County. The bartender told us that the chef at The Sidecar runs scrapple as a special from time to time. In its place, we tried his homemade garlic sausage ($4). I’m glad we did. Two good-sized patties were prepared with the right touch of garlic. One needs the right proportion of fat to pork in order to achieve the perfect balRestaurant Review:

ance of texture and flavor. He hit it out of the park. The Sidecar breakfast ($10) consisted of eggs any style, choice of breakfast meat, whole grain toast and choice of potatoes, salad or grits. I like gently scrambled eggs. They should be glistening but not runny. My wish was granted. The eggs were creamy and not one iota overcooked. Four crisp strips of smoky bacon kept me content as I dove into the grits. Stone ground grits were cooked to a creamy consistency and topped with aged cheddar. There was not one lump of undercooked grits in the bowl. I am somewhat of a purist when it (continued from page 25) = Very Good = Extraordinary

comes to them. I have eaten them throughout the South. The chefs at The Sidecar do not use Quaker Oat instant grits. It is the real deal here, and the addition of cheddar cheese was a nice change of pace. Instead of toast, I wanted a homemade biscuit. I always order one at Kraftwork. They are homemade (no Pillsbury grands here), and I prefer a hot-from-the-oven biscuit ($1.50). All I need to do is spread on some soft slightly salted butter and imagine breakfast on Shem Creek in South Carolina. However, one must not miss The Sidecar’s homemade preserves. During berry season, the chefs put up strawberry or blueberry preserves. Just my luck, my favorite, blueberry, was on the menu. These preserves impart the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Service was excellent. My coffee mug was kept full, and the friendly and professional staff kept everyone in the room very happy. Prices are moderate, and the food is first-rate. These are two reasons that The Sidecar is such a popular neighborhood restaurant. Four tips of the toque to The Sidecar Bar & Grille. SPR

DIRECTIONS Drain the crabmeat, if necessary, and pick through it for shells (jumbo lump will not have shells). Put the crab in a medium mixing bowl, and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and the salt. Scrape the mixture over the crab, and mix gently until well combined. Use fingers to gently break up the lumps, but do not overmix. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs and the parsley over the mixture, and mix them in thoroughly but gently; try not to turn the mixture into a mash — it should still be somewhat loose. Cover with plas-

Parent-al inﬂuence

A Whitman eatery honored a Flyers legend with an eponymously-named burger. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

n his storied stints with the Philadelphia Flyers, Bernie Parent won 232 games and millions of hearts, including that of John Moser, who, as a festive ﬁrst-grader, rode on the hood of a car to glimpse the goaltender and his teammates during their 1974 Stanley Cup championship parade. On Friday, the lifelong fan invited his athletic and philanthropic hero to Flat Iron Philly, 26 E. Oregon Ave., to mark the naming of a booth in honor of him and agent Dean Smith and the christening of two menu items after them. “We all know about him as a wonderful hockey player, but he’s also just a terrific guy who still does great things for Philadelphia and the surrounding area,” the proprietor of the Whitman establishment said of Parent to his early evening patrons. “He likes to operate behind the scenes, but tonight, we’re making it known that we value his contributions to our city’s hockey history.” Friends of the honorees for a few years, Moser looked to be alliterative in labeling the “Bernie Burger,” which consists of back end filet tips topped with bourbon caramelized onions and a brie and white cheddar sauce, and figured the perfect complement would be “Smith Fries” adorned with cheddar cheese sauce, ground beef, bacon, chopped pepperoni, caramelized onions, shredded cheddar, jalapeños and a homemade ranch dressing. Making their initial appearance at the fivemonth-old venue, the distinguished guests greatly anticipated their provisions’ arrival and spent the preparation period talking with supporters. “We’re very honored that John would do this,” Parent said as he kissed a baby as if he were campaigning for office. “My stomach is going to be thankful, too.” Smith noted Moser approached them in August with his desire to pay tribute to their humanitarian efforts, which include involvement with the ALS Foundation, the Bethesda Project and the Hope Foundation. As Parent, who orchestrated a second victory celebration along Broad Street in ’75, has remained a South Philly icon, he accepted the culinary commendation with as much reverence as the receipt of the Stanley Cup. “I always want to stay involved with

different communities,” the 69-year-old said upon the presentation of the novel fare, which a Flat Iron release noted will be available during every Flyers game and which Moser divulged will be an occasional special. “John is involved in some stuff, too, including the Mummers, so when you’re around people like that, how could you not want to help even more?” “I really commend Bernie for staying in the public eye and being a positive person for people to look up to,” Moser said of the fellow New Jersey inhabitant, who, along with Smith and Michele Paiva, wrote “Journey Through Risk and Fear” in 2011. “All of our tables have names, but this is the first one that we actually commissioned. Who better to honor than Bernie?” MANY BACKERS OF the Orange and Black would likely offer the same sentiment as

the businessman owing to the netminder’s notable career. After two seasons with the Boston Bruins, Parent became a Flyer through the ’67 Expansion Draft and spent nearly four campaigns here before his Feb. ’71 trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Time with the Ontario-based team united the burgeoning talent with his boyhood idol, fellow puck stopper Jacques Plante and prepared him for his ’73 return to Philadelphia, where immortality awaited. “The stars aligned, that’s for sure,” he said of elevating the franchise to glory. “We had so much talent, but we also had heart, and I think that is what resonated with fans. It still matters to them, and that makes me happy.” In the Cup campaigns, Parent registered 91 regular season wins and 24 shutouts, earning the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie both years. He continued to

PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php thwart foes with dynamic postseason performances, twice scoring the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, in no small part to blanking the Bruins and Sabres, respectively, in the pair of Cup-clinching Game 6 contests. “We were focused no matter the odds,” Parent said. “We appreciated that people loved us, but we didn’t mind that more than a few hated us, too.” The Flyers returned to the Finals in ’76 but suffered a sweep to the Montreal Canadiens. Parent played little that season because of a neck injury yet turned in three more solid campaigns for the Broad Street Bullies before an eye injury necessitated his retirement in ’79. The club retired his No. 1 jersey the same year and inducted him into its inaugural Hall of Fame class in ’88, four years after his enshrinement in the Hockey Hall of Fame. “No matter where I go, this city will always be dear to me,” the 2004 Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame designee said. “I like what it represents, which, for me, is giving your all no matter what.” Having mentored goalie Ron Hextall during the latter’s early days donning the orange and black, Parent expressed excitement that the aggressive netminder is now calling the shots as the Flyers’ general manager. The present hockey heroes fell in the first round of the playoffs to the New York Rangers, but the legend feels the club’s solid nucleus will soon bear positive results. “The team has good personnel, and I really feel good about the direction they’re going in,” Parent, who returned to the ice for the ’12 NHL Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park, said. “I believe in the kids, and I think Hextall will be great in helping them to be more consistent.” As he pondered the Flyers’ fruits, the altruistic individual also revealed why he remains so committed to fighting for advances in medicine, the elimination of homelessness and the eradication of inequality. “We’re here with great food,” Parent said. “However, it’s easy to forget that many people are going without, and some are only a short distance from here. We can do better.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.
