P
erhaps it was his own unique experience as a young Polish man during World War II that inspired Saint Pope John Paul II to conceive of the World Meeting of Families (WMOF) in 1992. His mother passed when he was a child and his father died of a heart attack in 1941 – the second youngest and second longest-serving pope is quoted to have said “At 20, I had already lost all the people I loved.”
The WMOF saw its first celebration in Rome in ’94, the same year as the first United Nationsdeclared International Year of Families. The World Meeting takes place every three years in a different international location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in ’97; Rome again in 2000; Manilla, Philippines in ’03; Valencia, Spain in ’06; Mexico City in ’09; and Milan in ’12. Next year’s WMOF will be the first in America and takes place Sept. 21 through 27 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center and, theoretically, on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The meeting includes an adult and youth con-

Word on the Street Is Philadelphia prepared
against an ebola outbreak?
“They need to be more strict when letting people in the country who have been traveling. Have them fill out a questionnaire that they’re in good health.” Lawrence Matt, 22nd and McClellan streets
“Not at all. I don’t think any city’s prepared for something like that. Even if it wasn’t terrible, people would get real antsy about it.” Chris Belletieri, 12th and Wolf streets

Motioning for ground rules
To the Editor: In response to the upbeat articles about bicycles in the Inquirer and elsewhere, I see many negatives and the problem will grow as the number of bikes appearing on our streets. I believe the city is making a big mistake in not setting down any ground rules. One thing that would make monitoring cyclists easier would be to have them registered and require a tag number on the bicycle. There does not have be a fee, only a fine if no plate is on the bike. The vast majority of cyclists pay absolutely no attention to any rules of the road. I am talking 95 percent. 1. They do not stop for stop signs or traffic lights. 2. They ride on the sidewalk. 3. They pass stopped buses on the right — very dangerous when getting off a bus. Trolleys have signs and lights telling cars not to do that. Maybe buses should be
equipped with them, especially in instances where people are getting off and no one is getting on. I doubt that cyclists would pay any more attention to that than they do to anything else. 4. They ride their bikes in areas where it is posted “walk bike only.” An example is the overpass on the River Walk adjacent to the dog run where it is clearly marked at both ends. 5. Cyclists change sides of the street to ride on without looking. On one-way streets with parking on both sides, this makes driving a car a nightmare. 6. At night, no lights front or back and dark clothing. Sooner or later, there are going to be serious accidents involving motorized vehicles and pedestrians young and old as well as the cyclists. The University of Pennsylvania must have some strict rules in place because the number of cyclists following rules is much higher on campus than in other

parts of the city. Just think, if rules were set up and enforced, the money coming from fines may help to make our public schools come closer to what they should be. Maybe even a nurse in every school every day or maybe a library in every school. Kenneth Veith South Philadelphia
A real page turner To the Editor: My heart is just filled with so much thanks to you guys over at the South Philly Review. You can’t imagine how I felt reading these articles of all the Difference Makers. I read so much about how bad South Philly is … to read about all the good so many people do just for his or her community is truly overwhelming. I will call Lionel [Simmons] to see how he liked the article. You guys did a great job! I know he will be pleased. Rene Saunders South Philadelphia

POLICE REPORT
Stolen leg recovered Authorities returned a man’s prosthetic limb following its pregame confiscation. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor
A
t approximately 8:30 p.m. Sunday, a male who chose to prepare for the Philadelphia Eagles matchup versus the New York Giants by tailgating in a parking lot on the 3300 block of South Seventh Street told authorities that as he was operating his motorized wheelchair, an unknown female approached him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The woman, whom the victim said was inebriated, spotted his prosthetic leg on the side of the chair, immediately grabbed it and ran through the parking lot with it. SEPTA employees at the Fern Rock Station contacted South Detective Division at 12:30 a.m. Monday to report they had located the item while checking the Broad Street Line at the end of a run. Personnel quickly returned the limb to the man, who described the thief as white, 22 to 25 years old and 5-foot-6; having long dark hair; and wearing blue jeans and an Eagles jersey. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.
A hot situation Police arrested a Point Breeze man whose alleged display of jealousy including pouring hot oil on his ex-girlfriend’s current beau. Responding at 1:35 a.m. Friday to a call of a person screaming, police ventured to the 2100 block of Reed Street and learned from the occupant that a former lover had supposedly entered her residence by forcing open the basement window, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The male reportedly woke her current partner, who was sleeping on the living room floor, by pouring hot cooking oil on his leg. The purported intruder then presumably produced a box cutter and demanded to know the identity of the present lover, declaring “Who are you? Let’s go, (racial slur). Let’s box. I’ll ****ing kill you.” The daughter of the female occupant heard the commotion, Tolliver said, and came down-

stairs, instructing the alleged aggressor to stop and to leave. The witness contends the figure left, and she called the police, who observed a man matching her provided description on the 2100 block of Dickinson Street. Following positive identification by the complainant and the recovery of evidence from his person, they arrested Charles Carson, of the 2200 block of Dickinson Street. The 48-year-old had not posted his $50,000 bail as of press time and awaits an Oct. 28 preliminary hearing for assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and making terroristic threats.
Burton busted A West Passyunk man turned himself in last week over his alleged burglary of a Center City apartment. As first reported in the Oct. 2 South Philly Review as “Local man sought,” authorities had been Leonard Burton seeking Leonard Burton for reportedly taking $7,800 worth of goods from a woman’s quarters at the Westbury Apartments, where he worked as a concierge. They issued a warrant for his arrest and supposedly capturing his image on surveillance video. On Oct. 7, the resident of the 2500 block of Jackson Street turned himself in, with police booking him on burglary, criminal mischief and theft charges. He posted his $5,000 bail the same day and awaits an Oct. 21 preliminary hearing.
Striking circumstance Police arrested a Passyunk Square man for allegedly using a gun to inflict injuries to another male. At 1:06 a.m. Friday, the complainant parked his car on the 700 block of Dickinson Street and began to walk to the 800 block of Wilder Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While on the latter block, he heard someone running behind him, and, turning around, he stated he had a gun pointed at his face. The supposed weapon wielder allegedly said “Give me everything you got,” with the victim contending the stranger, while trying to remove items from his pockets, struck him numerous times with his fists and the firearm, resulting in a laceration to the back of his head. The injured man, Tolliver said, was able to escape and knocked on a door for help as the reported offender

The chief complainant and a friend (gender not provided) were walking from the Broad Street Line’s Oregon Avenue Station at 2:30 a.m. Oct. 2 when they encountered a stranger at 12th Street and Oregon Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

Let me help explain all that life insurance can do for you.
Many Americans don’t realize that some types of life insurance can provide “living” benefits as well. If you’re diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness you may be able to receive a partial death benefit payout* to spend on long-term treatment or care. Call me today to find out how.

*The Accelerated Death Benefit may or not qualify for a favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. This depends on factors such as your life expectancy at the time benefits are accelerated or whether you use the benefits to pay for required qualified long-term expenses. If the Accelerated Death Benefit qualifies the Benefit will not be subject to federal income taxation. Tax laws relating to the Accelerated Death Benefits are complex. You should consult with a tax advisor about how you can receive the Accelerated Death Benefit excludable from income under federal law. In addition, receipt of the Accelerated Death Benefit may affect your family’s eligibility for public assistance programs such as medical assistance (Medicaid), Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AGDC), supplementary social security income (SSI) and drug assistance programs. You should consult with social service agencies concerning how receipt of such payment will affect eligibility for public assistance. See rider for terms, conditions, and restrictions.

South Philly’s best bars The sixth annual 50 Best Bars list on Foobooz. com was very kind to local watering holes.
The original Best 50 Bars list, which appeared in 2008, had 13 South Philly bars and four in the top 20. Six years later and American Sardine Bar is number two with nine in the top 20. Staff Photo by Bill Chenevert

A
rthur Eitchells isn’t shy about how the 50 Best Bars list came about. It’s “completely stolen from Philly Weekly,” the Philadelphia Magazine staffer and Foobooz.com editor explained, citing a March 2008 list by the South Philly Review’s sister publication as the inspiration, adding he contributed some picks to it. “They got a lot of grief from advertisers, so they never did it again. I was doing Foobooz as a hobby, and I had no advertisers to lose. So I decided to recreate it in the same spirit by pulling writers and noted people with good livers.” The ’14 list, the sixth iteration was published earlier this month, is quite South Philly-friendly. Eighteen of the 50 bars are in the neighborhood, and nine of the top 20 are here, too. Topping the list is Rittenhouse’s Pub & Kitchen, but numbers two through four are Point Breeze and Pennsport staples: American Sardine Bar, 1800 Federal St.; The Industry, 1401 E. Moyamensing Ave.; and South Philadelphia Tap Room, 1509 Mifflin St., accordingly. “We were very very happy. That one is pretty cool — two in the top five feels pretty good,” Scott Schroeder, the head chef at American Sardine Bar and South Philly Tap Room (the latter has been on the list every year), said. “We definitely work hard at being a neighborhood spot. That’s our goal. We talk about it. We’re a part of the neighborhood, grew with the neighborhood and, in general, adjust to the neighborhood, and that was sort of the same concept with Sardine Bar.” The Tap Room opened 11 years ago, and Schroeder came on board six years ago. He works closely with Mark Regan to staff both kitchens and keep creative dishes on both menus. “We don’t have any approach that’s different – we’re not very modern or any-
thing. All we try to do is use good ingredients that we can use and afford,” Schroeder explained, noting that expensive dishes don’t always mean great dishes. “I eat at high-end restaurants and the simplest stuff is always the best thing on the menu.” The Good King Tavern, 614 S. Seventh St., is a newbie to Queen Village and the list, and pulled in a number nine ranking in a year’s time. “It was a total surprise. We had no idea it was coming,” Chloe Grigri, an Urban Outfitters Philadelphia Navy Yard refugee who opened her French-inspired bar with her father said. “My dad and I have talked about opening our restaurant for a really long time,” with her dad’s childhood in Aix-en-Provence providing the culinary inspiration. “That’s where the concept for the food and wine and drinks originated from, as well as the space itself, and how we kind of re-imagined this charming old building. “I love this neighborhood. It’s a nice pit-stop for industry people on their way home.” She called on Paul Lyons, who had helped with the opening of Habanero and Barbuzzo in Center City to manage the kitchen. “One thing led to another and now we’re a fully-functioning restaurant coming up on our one-year anniversary,” Grigri said. DEVIL’S DEN, 1148 S. 11th St. (No. 15), Brauhaus Schmitz, 718 South St. (No. 16), Southwark, 701 S. Fourth St. (No. 17), Royal Tavern, 937 E. Passyunk Ave. (No.
18) and Garage, 1231-1233 E. Passyunk Ave., (No. 19) round out the top 20. “A restaurant opens every week in Philly now,” Kip Waide, who owns Southwark with his partner, Sheri, said. “What wasn’t happening 10 years ago was that no one had cocktail bars back then. We serve awesome farm-to-table food and we happen to have a bar,” but noted that the “farm-to-table” tag is just a reflection of how carefully they source their produce and proteins. “You pay more for food, and you’re limiting yourself by cooking in season. We don’t have tomatoes now, or strawberries or asparagus,” he admitted, but added that with “any restaurant of quality, it’s a given that you’re not serving strawberries in winter.” He noted that South Philly Review Restaurant Reviewer Phyllis Stein-Novak gave his Queen Village mainstay three toques
just before Craig LeBan gave him three bells. “She beat him to the punch, actually,” he said. Passyunk Square got represented by Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St. (No. 26), Townsend, 1623 E. Passyunk Ave. (No. 32), Fountain Porter, 1601 S. 10th St. (No. 34), Stateside, 1536 E. Passyunk Ave. (No. 42), and Pub on Passyunk East, 1501 E. Passyunk Ave. (No. 49). South of South’s Grace Tavern, 2229 Grays Ferry Ave., (No. 24) Sidecar Bar & Grille, 2201 Christian St. (No. 44) and Bob & Barbara’s, 1509 South St., (No. 23) fared well, with Bella Vista’s Percy Street Barbecue, 900 South St., (No. 28) earning a nod, too. “The only criteria is that you rank your 10 favorite bars. That’s the only point that I stress — that you actually go there,” Eitchells said. He added the list “speaks to where people are going. A couple hot areas, I feel, are in South Philly, which is reflected in the list.” Places like Devil’s Den and Royal Tavern, he said, “those are the places that you go because they’re kind of an extension of your house and you wanna hang out there.” Schroeder, a Whitman resident of South Fourth and Wolf streets, said South Philly is the place to be. “I love South Philly. I live down here and work down here. I don’t spend too much time south of Washington,” he joked, adding: “We still have some space to grow down here. and Point Breeze is starting to go places and Pennsport’s starting to go places.” If this list is any indication, he’s right.

POPE HOPE continued from page 1 said until they hear from the Vatican, they’ll be calling it an anticipated weekend of papal fanfare. Pope John Paul II visited Philadelphia on a U.S. tour in 1979, touching down at the Philadelphia International Airport on Oct. 3 and proceeding up Broad Street, around City Hall and to the Cathedral of Ss. Peter and Paul. An estimated 1.2 to 2 million Philadelphia-area faithful turned out to greet and celebrate the 264th pope. Pope Francis, the 266th pope, could arrive on Sept. 25 with a visit to Independence Mall, followed by an anticipated Festival of Families the next day on the Parkway, with a finale papal mass Sept. 27 at the foot of the Philadelphia Art Museum. As many or more than the ’79 papal visit figures are expected if the pope indeed crosses the Atlantic to North America. Of the weekend activities, O’Brien said “they are open to the public — there are no tickets. No way did it cross my mind to put the pope in a stadium,” he added. “And that’s why we’ve taken this approach and the City of Philadelphia has been on board.” With as many as 10,000 to 15,000 families descending upon Philadelphia next fall, O’Brien and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are coordinating efforts to accommodate any and all families. O’Brien said the week’s events will “showcase Philadelphia and the region in an unprecedented way to a global audience.” If and when the pope arrives on Sept. 25, he’ll greet enthusiasts from a platform in front of Independence Hall. “Think about that picture on media all over the world,” O’Brien commented.
Archdiocese of Philadelphia Director of Events Jack O’Brien addressed curious Catholics who have heard of an “anticipated” papal visit and mass in 2015. S ta f f P h o t o b y Bill Chenevert
THE WMOF’S THEME is “Love is our mission: the family fully alive,” and the archdiocese has developed a 10-chapter catechism for studying purposes. A year of preparation will be both logistical and intellectually thematic. The ten chapters are: “Created for Joy,” “The Mission of Love,” “The Meaning of Human Sexuality,” “Two Become One,” “Creating the Future,” “All Love Bears Fruit,” “Light in a Dark World,” “A Home for a Wounded Heart,” “Mother, Teacher, Family: The Nature & Role of the Church” and “Choosing Life.” “You’re listening to material you’ve just studied,” Lizanne Magarity Pando the Director of Marketing and Communications for the Diocese, said. Keynote speakers will address these themes from all walks of life. WMOF staffers at the Marconi-based school said the speakers and visitors will come from all over the world and different faiths. “We really feel it’s going to be very international,” Magarity Pando said. So much so, in fact, that the archdiocese is encouraging faithful to host families
through a website called homestay.com. In a video they played about how the site and process works, it opens with “We are inviting the world to visit – will you help us?” “50,000 rooms were made available through this process when the World Meeting of Families happened in Milan,” Marty Nelson, the Diocese’s director of finance, said, advocating for folks to help if they can. “We want people to feel at home, to feel comfortable to come to Philadelphia and get involved with what’s going on.” “We’ve contracted 4,400 hotel rooms and more throughout the city and surrounding areas like King of Prussia, Delaware, Bucks and Chester County and Wilmington,” exhibit and sponsorship coordinator Teresa Matozzo said. The World Meeting of Families staff is also trying to plan and coordinate a concurrent film festival, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has commissioned the Vatican for items from the Vatican Museum, an exhibit of bibles from the American Bible Society will have its own separate entrance beside the Convention Center congress and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program

even plans to create a mural on-site to memorialize the process. Registration rates start at $50 per day for youth and go up to $325 for an all-inclusive adult package that includes a SEPTA pass and a $100 debit card. “How many people were here for the pope’s visit in 1979?” O’Brien asked and about two-thirds of the crowd raised their hands. Questions raised were mostly about the papal visit, which were headed off with a refrain of “When we know, you’ll know.” But organizers are feeling optimistic about the outpouring of concerns being mostly about getting involved and volunteering. Stefan Johnson, the special assistant to the Executive Director and St. Monica ’06 graduate, said “the most common questions we’re getting, undoubtedly the number one question is ‘How can I help?’” They haven’t quite opened up volunteer registration, but when they do, Johnson said, they’ll hope to round up 10,000 volunteers. And with 219 parishes in the Philadelphia area, that’s 50 volunteers per parish. O’Brien, who said he’s opened stadiums and worked on other huge projects, is confident this one is a really unique week of events that’ll be unlike anything Philadelphians have seen. “This is an undertaking unlike anything I’ve ever done. It’s complex, it’s challenging, it’s exciting, it’s memorable and all of these pieces have to come together,” he said, after fielding questions about SEPTA and bus services before concluding, “It’s a tsunami, so you may as well be great ready for it.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

He then joined his father’s practice and they worked together until his dad retired in 1985 after 51 years of practice. He has continuously practiced in Philadelphia since then. In 1981, Dr. G (as he is affectionately known) was awarded Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, signifying more that 500 hours of post-graduate education in all phases of dentistry.

A lauded Lower Moyamensing tenor will add another honor Sunday.
y age 4, William Davenport knew his professional journey would find him tackling either tunes as a singer or bodies as a football player. Opting for stages over strategies, the 29-year-old is crafting a commendable career as a courted tenor and will garner local kudos Sunday as the Alfonso Cavaliere Memorial Scholarship Fund recipient. “I’m very grateful for the recognition and can’t wait to be among people so passionate about music,” the resident of the 2200 block of South Juniper Street said of his impending 4 p.m. appearance at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. “I love that the day is going to have a neighborhood vibe to it, too, because I’m still relatively new to South Philly and want that interaction.” The honoree learned of his accolade in August, with fellow Lower Moyamensing inhabitant and 2014 South Philly Review Difference Maker Giovanna Cavaliere placing the congratulatory call. Familiar with him through her support of The Academy of Vocal Arts, where he is a fourth-year resident artist, she chose Davenport to team up with the Bel Canto Lyric Opera Co. and Orchestra for a celebration of musical comedy, Neapolitan delights, operatic favorites and a tribute to South Philly’s own Mario Lanza. “That aspect is particularly touching,” the performer said of sampling the legendary Bella Vista product’s catalogue. “Everything, though, promises to be fun.”
LIFESTYLES Davenport also deems the distinction as another means to gain traction, a task that he considers a must for young artists. As acquiring it can pose problems, he tabs himself fortunate to have established so many alliances, especially within a field where pacing oneself proves productive. “There’s no need to rush to the finish line,” the measured interpreter of measures said of his progression. “I need to determine what’s healthy for my voice and continue to become engrossed with whatever projects I tackle because there are always so many questions to ask. Fortunately, this life never grows old for me.” THE YOUNGEST OF four boys, the Maryland native fell for music, specifically musical theater, through his oldest sibling. Deeming singing far safer than playing football, he found himself yielding to its pull with no hesitation and, following a period of educational uncertainty, he enrolled in his home state’s Peabody Conservatory of Music. “I had to catch up a bit, and I did that through watching YouTube, which was an incredible resource,” Davenport said. “When I got to Peabody, I learned the repertoire, and opera just became a full-on obsession.”
■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m
Having honed a love for musical theater, the newbie needed only to note thematic parallels among works to make a smooth transition to the operatic world, as he had already developed awareness of his pipes’ potential. Relying on an immense affinity for history, too, the Paris-born presence enjoys marrying his curiosity for different eras to his enthusiasm for languages. “I think that’s how my personality comes out through the work,” Davenport said of understanding the sense of adventure within a score. “Plus, being on stage transports me into a whole other realm where I become so engrossed in the notes that I become a completely different person through the material. It’s very enriching.” Declaring that he had reached the point where he knew opera made his brain “go crazy like nothing else,” the ambitious figure moved to Philadelphia for enrollment at AVA, with the Center City-situated institution further stimulating his desire to determine and decipher the meaning and beauty within each opus. Through his tenure at the location, which endowed him with first-place merit in its 2011 Giargiari Bel Canto Competition and for whom he will perform in February’s “La bohème” production, Davenport has also gained from the wisdom of his teacher Bill Schu-
man to continue to explore options in generating local and national buzz. “It’s very important to do things in succession and to know who you are as a performer at any given period in your life,” the introspective entertainer, whose impressive profile includes turns with the Austin Symphony, the Baltimore Concert Opera, the Bel Cantanti Opera, the Bucks County Choral Society, the Chesapeake Chamber Opera, the Concert Artists of Baltimore, the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra and the Tuscia Opera Festival, said. “I love uncovering the truths about who I am and what this art form can help me to comprehend.” Along with his soon-to-be alma mater’s prize, Davenport claimed first place in this year’s Opera Orchestra of New York/ Agnes Varis Vocal Competition; achieved national semifinalist distinction in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and sixth place in the Loren L. Zachary National Vocal Competition for Young Opera Singers, both accolades from last year; and scored third place in ’11’s Mario Lanza Scholarship. Regardless of the size of his resumé, he ensures that his ego will not become gigantic by preferring to stay grounded, an endeavor in which he receives ample assistance from his sopra-
no wife, Jennifer, with whom he is rearing their 2-year-old daughter, Eleanor. “I love being in Philadelphia because there’s so much life to it, and even more so in South Philly, which I fell in love with fast,” Davenport, who has resided in his present expanse for a year after a stint in Point Breeze, said. “I don’t know why more people don’t come here. I love coming down Broad Street and seeing the Mario Lanza mural [at Broad and Reed streets]. Plus, the Italian Market is so close. It’s a great atmosphere, and I love having a family to share that with.” Come Sunday, audience members will become part of his clan, too, as he wants to put on a great show for them. “I’m really excited for the opportunity,” Davenport said. “I like to think I will go on to play bigger houses and get my name out there on a bigger level in the near future. It’s great to think about that, but there’s nothing better than getting a chance to sing in your own turf.” SPR For tickets, call 215-334-0529 or 215336-6978.

By Tom Cardella Columnist
Soupy (Personal reflections on sportscaster Bill Campbell who passed away on Oct. 6th.)
“S
oupy” was what his colleagues called him when he worked at 1210 AM, the old WCAU Radio, a reference to his last name being the same as the soup company. Always seemed lacking in dignity to me. When I became fortunate enough to work with him at WIP back in the 80s, I would’ve called him Mr. Campbell if he let me. He insisted on “Bill.” Bill Campbell dominated Philadelphia’s sports media like no one else. There was a time when if you listened to any of the City’s three professional sports teams, it was Bill Campbell’s voice you heard. His was the voice who broadcast the Eagles last championship season in 1960. Monday nights he would dissect the games with the great quarterback of that team, Norm Van Brocklin. Before Harry Kalas, it was Bill Campbell who mentored Richie Ashburn’s early years as a Phillies broadcaster. And before the Warriors moved to the West Coast, it was Bill Campbell who brought us the excitement of the Wilt Chamberlain era, including the 100-point game. We all wanted to be the next Bill Campbell. You’ve heard stories about how a young athlete will worship a superstar and then wind up playing in the big leagues with him. That’s the way I felt when in 1987, while I was a radio sports talk host on WIP, Bill Campbell came to work there. When I first heard the news, I penned a note to Campbell and put it in his mailbox. The note rambled on about how proud I was to work with the guy whom I grew up listening to. Bill often needled me about that note and teasingly told folks when I was in his company that he had grown up listening to Tom Cardella. The sports talk business those days mostly belonged to guys who would’ve been selling snake oil off the back of wagons 150 years ago. Campbell brought professionalism to the business and made the other guys sound like carnival barkers. I watched him come into the studio hours before his shift. He would sit endlessly at one of the typewriters preparing his notes for a three-hour broadcast. His writing skills were superb, but they didn’t come easily to him. He once mentioned to me that he had agreed to do an article for Philadelphia
■ s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.c o m
Magazine and couldn’t stop the rewriting process in order to submit the story. When I hosted the Eagles pre- and postgame shows and left WIP to join WYSP because the Eagles broadcasts had changed stations, Campbell was hired to do commentaries and the half-time show from back in the studio. (Hey Dad, I’m working with Bill Campbell)! No one could match the elegance of one of Bill Campbell’s commentaries, painstakingly prepared verbal works of art. In his last years on the air, Bill’s commentaries on KYW radio were reminders of the days when his intelligence and grace ruled our airwaves. I always felt Campbell was as proud of his journalistic abilities as he was his broadcasting skills. One day, a frustrated program director on WIP called me into his office to chew me out. “You’re not an entertainer,” he bellowed at me, “you’re a journalist.” He didn’t know it, but he had just paid me the biggest compliment of my life because it meant that in some small way, I had a link to the great Bill Campbell. Bill Campbell was a legendary hypochondriac, but he also battled some real illness. During his tenure at WIP, he was hospitalized several times for an intestinal ailment, and I had the honor of filling in for him. (Pinch me, is this real)? The ailment forced Bill to give up his last play-by-play job as the voice of Penn State football. He told me he just couldn’t keep to his strict diet while on the road. That was a very sad day. Bill had to know that his chances of getting back on the air doing play-by-play were over. I have nothing against Harry Kalas. He was a great play-by-play guy. But if Bill Giles hadn’t decided to take Kalas with him when he came from Houston to the Phillies, that statue outside Citizens Bank Ballpark would be of Bill Campbell. It would be Bill who would be enshrined in the broadcast wing of baseball’s Hall of Fame. Bill never showed any bitterness at that trick of fate. He and Harry, I hear, got along just fine. Me, I feel we never paid enough respect to Bill Campbell when he was alive. I’m not saying he was ignored, but it is an unfortunate aspect of the business that the longer you live, the more easily you are forgotten. He’s not around now to hear the accolades pour in. They are inadequate and long overdue. He was a consummate professional to the end. Never wanted to hang around too long to embarrass himself. Never did. Bill was married 70 years to Jo. He stayed fit. Played golf well into his 80s. Wrote an excellent book about his life in sports. He enjoyed the kind of life that most can only wish for. Officially, Bill Campbell died last week, but the light really went out when Jo died last January. A true professional. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.
Eye-catching debut
Justin Simien offers up one of the year’s most stirring pieces with “Dear White People.” The satire leaves virtually no important contemporary topic unaddressed and makes no apologies for being a blunt examination of modernity.
■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
T
here’s no sense mincing words: Debut director Justin Simien’s “Dear White People” is one of the best films of 2014. Not since Spike Lee made a controversial splash with 1989’s “Do the Right Thing” has a film about race relations been so topical, articulate and skillfully orchestrated. Set on a fictional college campus, the hot-button satire, whose plot points and characterizations span virtually every facet of modern identity (race, class, gender, sexual orientation), is a model of how to hurl ideas at the screen and make them stick. Though technically told from a black perspective (or a black queer perspective, to be more specific about Simien’s own identity), “Dear White People” is remarkable in that it lets every voice in its diverse ensemble be heard, and never decrees that there are any wrong answers. The militant black female DJ who runs the titular radio program; the closeted, undeclared freshman who’s afraid of his own race; the privileged white elitist who argues the woes of equal opportunity — all of them are given their moment to plead their case. This is the sort of film we need in the landscape right now: A multicultural study whose only interest is asking questions, and a cultural commentary that’s malleable by design, seeing as it’s pouring from the mouths of students whose worldviews are still taking shape. This is Simien’s real masterstroke, and the touch that gets him off the hook for putting too much on his plate. Even if elements like reality TV seem to be bloating the narrative, it ultimately becomes one more layer
in Simien’s strata of exploration. “Dear White People” is being sold as a comedy, and it is indeed funny. (If anything, it’s rewarding to see a film by a black, gay director that doesn’t kowtow to the tragic trends of films about either community.) But the ideas are so bracing, the themes so unflinchingly resonant, that scenes like a blackface party play like they were stripped from recent headlines. Simien has his eyes wide open to the world, and he has much to say about it.

Though highly overrated as the ultimate arty antidote to summer blockbusters, Joon-ho Bong ’s dystopian thriller “Snowpiercer” is still worth checking out for its technical wizardry, which involved the creation of a train (mankind’s last vessel after a new Ice Age) that spanned multiple city blocks. The segmented class commentary is on the nose, but actors like Tilda Swinton and John Hurt are on point.

ON THE SCENE
On the scene By Tom Conway Columnist
Vetri migrates south
A
viders made of metal wire and smoky grey zinc bar — mix with the dignified details of an old Navy building to create a striking space. Walls are decorated by the same muralist employed by Vetri’s Alla Spina. But the main piece of décor will be largely unseen. It is the giant rotisserie that is the centerpiece of the kitchen. As the back-ofhouse staff buzzes around it, a brisket the size of a couch cushion spins in the air — saying all one really needs to know about Lo Spiedo. Coming attractions
Palladino’s on Passyunk, 1934 E. Passyunk Ave., continues to march toward its highly anticipated opening, bringing a face to the EPA gateway that is desperately needed. The man himself is currently visiting restaurateurs and wine makers in multiple regions of Italy with executive chef TJ Ricciardi as they put the finishes touches on the menu. Though the original star on Luke Palladino’s own résumé stems from five years at Venice’s Ristorante al Covo, his cuisine at each of his previous domestic spots has spanned all regions, and this sweeping trip seems to support that for his latest establishment as well. Big steaks, chops and seasonal Italian cuisine will headline the menu with house made pastas, breads, pastries, desserts and gelatos rounding out the offerings. Most interesting may be the bar menu that I’ve heard will present a chance to highlight chef Palladino’s more casual offerings “that friends and insiders have come to demand.” As it develops, this angle could add another dimension to the experience or make for a dynamite happy hour. P’unk Burger, 1823 East Passyunk Ave., a throwback burger joint by Marlo and Jason Dilks of SliCE, is moving into the space most recently vacated by Chhaya Café. The restaurant is shooting for a late November opening and aims to approach burgers much the same way SliCE tackles pizza. “Our philosophy is basically one product, and to do that one product really well. That’s what we did at SliCE,” Marlo Dilks said. “But it will be a large variety that caters to a large variety of people, so they may not be a burger person but they’ll enjoy our turkey burger, or our salmon burger.” Traditional burgers will of course be the staple with non-traditional specials going on regularly. All beef will be organic or all natural, salmon burgers will be made in house with wild-caught fish, and the homemade veggie burger will be soy free so it is nothing but vegetables. “We’re going to that next level,” Marlo Dilks explained.

fter years of speculation and development, Lo Spiedo, Marc Vetri’s newest Italian restaurant focusing on spit-roasted meats, is finally set to open Oct. 27 at The Philadelphia Navy Yard's South Broad Street gate. The venture marks the James Beard winning chef/restaurateur’s first move into South Philly and a pioneering one in being the first legit dining operation to set up shop in the rapidly developing urban campus. “The closest thing I would compare it to is a southern barbecue, where you choose your protein then all your sides,” chef de cuisine Scott Calhoun said of the concept located at 6301 S. Broad St. Tapped to lead Lo Spiedo’s kitchen after being sous-chef at North Broad Streetbased Osteria, Calhoun is excited to depart a bit from the prevailing fine dining trend of micromanaging dishes and interjecting an overabundance of flavors. “It is going to be spit rotisserie chicken, brisket, we have octopus and it is going to be simple seasonings of salt, pepper and rosemary with meat cooked over a wood fire,” he described. Veggies also will be offered off the spit and assembled into a daily salad option. Most exciting for diners may be the marriage between the kitchen and bar, with Stephen Cotter Warner also coming over from Osteria to helm the drink program. Chemistry between the two built upon their previous stint together is apparent, and Calhoun notes he offered the kitchen as a partner to the bar, the result being some terminology typically reserved for the kitchen ending up on the cocktail menu. “We’ll have a roasted porcini mushroom martinez,” Warner explained. “It’ll be that classic cocktail with those notes you can expect from mushroom.” Spit roasted tomatoes will be the base for the house bloody mary, in contrast to the typically overly acidic supermarket juice. Being intertwined with businesses booze may not be an option for a power lunch (most of the time), but the non-alcoholic options receive just as much care and creativity. “We’ll offer house made tonic water that I think will really change people’s thoughts on tonic,” Warner explained. “Ginger beer will also be made right here.” Industrial touches — exposed ducts, di-

Kathleen’s Potato Pie
Patties day
O
ne potato, two potato, three potato ... No, Mother Goose is not providing this week’s recipe, as her version includes seven potatoes, more. We apologize in advance to those of you who suddenly find themselves start reciting lines when preparing this week’s recipe. Regular contributor Kathleen Valle — no relation to Mother Goose — is sharing her Potato Pie offering. The resident of the 2600 block of Dudley Street features a trio of large red ones in her crispy dish. Once the baking process begins, feel free to start rhyming about what’s about to come out of the oven. SPR

they could have spent a little more time in the fryer. Since Meyer came up with the idea of serving frozen custard at his Shake Shacks, why not copy it? A custard sundae ($5.97 for the large) consisted of chocolate and vanilla custard layers topped with whipped cream and multi-colored jimmies. They are listed as sprinkles on the menu (Burger Fi’s owners don’t know Philly). Since the custard was packed into a large plastic cup, it did not look like a sundae. The flavor and texture were lacking. I guess I just miss the Kohr’s frozen custard of my childhood. Burger Fi does a big beer business. The (continued from page 25) = Very Good = Extraordinary

en years ago, New York City businessman Danny Meyer, who made his reputation in fine high end dining, came up with a simple restaurant concept. He would sell burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes and french fries. Thus, the first Shake Shack was born. People lined up to get in. Philadelphia’s location opened more than two years ago. This modern approach to fast food has spawned a slew of similar restaurants around the country. Like Meyer, owners use locally-sourced ingredients. Some places offer cocktails, beer and wine. Burger Fi, which opened about six months ago across the street from The Reading Terminal Market, is always busy at lunchtime. Since I am still on a quest to find top burgers in town — and the one served at Devil’s Den is still my favorite — I wanted to try it. We decided to go for an early dinner. It was busy but seats were available, especially at the bar. This burger place has a happy hour. Instead of ordering our meal at the counter, we took a menu from the bartender. Cocktails were as low as $8. Burger Fi lists the calorie count on all menu items. The Burger Fi cheeseburger ($6.57) consisted of a double natural Angus burger topped with American cheese, lettuce and tomato. One can’t order a burger to his or her liking such as medium or medium-rare, but the beef was tasty and not overcooked. It was served on a soft bun. The brisket burger ($9.97) appeared to be the favorite among Burger
Fi patrons, as we got the last one. It was prepared with 28-day aged ground brisket, topped with Swiss and blue cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. It imparted a rich flavor, and I assume the brisket used in this patty included some fat in the grinding process. I especially liked the french fries served here. A small order ($2.97) is large enough for two. They were crispy and hot. Some of these newfangled burger restaurants can’t get their fries right, as they are often limp and greasy. These were as close to perfection as one can get. Chicago is known for its deep dish pizza and hot dogs. The good citizens of the Windy City are very picky about their hot dogs. One will never find ketchup in any Chicago hot dog emporium. And the dogs are served on a steamed poppy seed bun. Burger Fi’s version ($4.47) is described as an all-natural dog with mustard, bright Kelly green relish, diced onion, sliced tomatoes, peppers, celery salt and a pickle spear served on a soft steamed poppy seed bun. The dog could have been hotter, but it was close in flavor to the ones I enjoyed in Chicago. Wagyu Kobe beef has been all the rage in recent years. Burger Fi makes a hot dog using this beef ($4.97). I could not detect any difference in flavor or texture to the type used in the Chicago-style dog. Top it with sauerkraut (57 cents), and you’ve got a better tasting treat. The crispy fried onion rings ($3.97 for the regular size) needed salt, but thank goodness they were not greasy. I thought

Lyas Cafe’s Marinated Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Mexican Salad

o give credence to their prior knowledge and to build confidence in their endeavors, budding wordsmiths often receive the advice “Write what you know.” When Andres Ladino decided to open his first eatery af-
ter numerous culinary jobs, he determined to alter that sentiment’s wording but not the insistence on experience, choosing to make what rings familiar to him. “Everything definitely has a Mexican touch,” the Puebla native said of his creations at Lyas Cafe, 802 Christian St. “All the sandwiches have it, especially, but I also try to be a little different by having vegetarian and vegan options.” The 29-year-old and wife Gloria opened the Bella Vista-based location in August, occupying space that had served as a Vietnamese hoagie shop. “It was exactly what I had been looking for,” Ladino said of the site. “I love interacting with customers and sharing my culture with them.” The gregarious proprietor arrived in the United States a decade ago and is loving his second Philadelphia stint.

The oil change took about 20 minutes and then they began looking into the blinker. What I thought was just a bulb out was actually a fuse issue, so I’m glad I didn’t try to fix it myself. They were thorough in determining the exact issue and were able to fix the problem. Great cost, no BS and stuck to my time schedule. Couldn’t ask for anything more! - Astrid S., June 9, 2014 *for most cars

Fit females
A Point Breeze school’s attendees are strengthening their bodies and minds through a thriving nonprofit. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor
R
acing across the gymnasium floor at St. Thomas Aquinas Mission School, 18th and Morris streets, Monday with all the joy one would wish for an 8-year-old to know, Sonia Bautista appeared the picture of confidence and commitment. Along with 11 other enrollees at the Point Breeze institution, she gleefully spent 75 minutes taking tutelage from instructors at CrossFit PHL, one of the partners whom Philly Girls in Motion has enlisted to assist young females’ physical and mental maturation. “I feel much better about myself,” Sonia, of Second and Morris streets, said of the nearly three-week-old program. “I love playing games and the coaches are nice, too.” If the Pennsport resident had not elected to join the three-times-a-week initiative, she confessed she most likely would be choosing sleep over exercise once home from school. To the delight of Philly Girls in Motion founder Beth Devine, the girl and her peers have chosen to champion personal responsibility one exercise session and nutrition lesson at a time. “Their progress has been phenomenal,” the Havertown dweller said of the registrants, who initiated their fitness crusade Sept. 29. “They’re very diligent and they’re making great connections with the adults and one another.” Devine began the program at the request of St. Thomas Aquinas principal Vincent Mazzio, a friend of 20 years, who wanted his site to move from being a basketballonly entity. As the runner, swimmer and triathlete has enjoyed a thriving presence in South Philly through interactions with the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St.; Guerin Recreation Center, 2201 S. 16th St.; and Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., she transformed the idea into a fullfledged wonder that counts CrossFit PHL, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Villanova University’s MacDonald Center for Obesity Prevention and Education as colleagues in countering depression and sedentary lifestyles. “So many women, for whatever reasons, often find themselves saying ‘I can’t’ when it comes to getting in and staying in shape,” Joe Renzi, a coach at CrossFit
Members of CrossFit PHL are helping their eager charges to gain greater senses of the benefits of exercise. The girls will continue to receive instruction throughout the school year. P h o t o s b y R o b To r n e y
PHL, 1414 S. Darien St., said. “We all believe we can help them to say ‘I can,’ and we realize that it’s really important to work to instill that in females no matter their age. These girls have listened to every instruction, and they’re determined to believe in themselves.” The Girard Estate inhabitant came to the attention of Devine through a friend and called on three colleagues Monday for his third installment of increased heart rates and uplifted spirits. With a daughter of his own, Renzi regards his role as not only an immediate assistant but also as a potentially long-term influence whose
message of self-belief can prove to have a domino effect. “They’re seeing strong women in action, and that can be beneficial,” he said. “At their ages, there are many chances to doubt themselves. That’s where we love to step in and be positive influences. What’s better than that?” THE PARTNERSHIP IS helping the Catholic school to live up to its all-inclusive identity, already apparent in its multi-cultural enrollment figures, by involving girls from every grade. Most attend for all three days, with Tuesdays centering on lacrosse and
PRO SPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php Wednesdays involving group exercises such as dance, Pilates, yoga and Zumba. “For other programs, we’ve had the registrants set goals,” Devine said. “For this, though, we just wanted to make it about movement.” As if on cue, Sonia and the others, right after showing their brawn by performing perfect pushups, engaged in chases that led to abundant laughter. Thoroughly enjoying their enjoyment, Devine frequently nodded and encouraged their efforts, endeavors that have always mattered to Kayla Hillian. “I love to exercise,” the 12-year-old sixth-grader said. “I used to take dance class, so I like having this chance to be active.” The resident of the 2200 block of McClellan Street appreciates the care that their elders display in addressing the connections between physical preparation and mental stimulation. “I think feeling good physically and mentally go hand in hand,” Renzi, whose successful portfolio includes strength and conditioning aid for the Neumann-Goretti baseball team, which in the spring captured its fourth Catholic League title since 2009, said. “These girls are getting that knowledge.” Kayla is especially riveted because of the opportunities. With her history of fitness, which includes time at the Christian Street YMCA, 1724 Christian St., she knows that each exercise, while giving her stamina and strength, also encourages wise decisions in other facets of her life. As she prepares for adolescence, she and the overseers know that perpetual positivity can prove a difficult weight to lift confidently but when one establishes a routine, nothing can halt growth. “Everyone is supportive,” Kayla, who with the others could come to take up volleyball in the winter, said. “I like being with them as much as I like being with my friends.” “We all need access to great choices,” Devine added. “We’re glad to be that portal for these girls and many others.” SPR Visit phillygirlsinmotion.org.

NOVENAS NoveNa Prayer to St. rita auguStiNiaN NuN - May 22
O Powerful Saint Rita, you are called the Saint of the Impossible. In this time of need I come to you with confidence. You know my trials, for you yourself were many times burdened in this life. Come to my help, pray with me, intercede on my behalf before the Father. I know that God has a most generous heart and that He is a most loving Father. Join your prayers to mine and obtaine for tme the grace I desire; (here mention your request) I promise to use this favor, when granted, to better my life, to proclaim God’s mercy, and to make you widely known and loved.
