hiladelphia is growing. To complicate things, a few things are making our growth a little more complicated and presenting new challenges. A few staggering facts: between 2006 and ’12, our city has grown by 58,897 to 1,547,607, according to recent Census estimates; Philadelphia is ranked the ninth-most racially segregated metro area in America; and federal standards characterize 26.9 percent of residents as poor. These are a few facts that Earni Young dug up, a

reporter for the Daily News, whose lead feature on Gentrification last week focused on Graduate Hospital and Point Breeze. One compelling assertion is that “1,097 vacant lots and buildings [are] scattered throughout [Point Breeze, between Washington Ave. and Mifflin St. and S. Broad and S. 25th streets, which] mean there is plenty of room for growth.” Yvette Ousley, an Assistant City Editor and the editor of this story package (as assigned by editor Michael Days), said they aimed “to assess the state of gentrification in Philadelphia and at the same time give people some tools to assist them as their neighborhoods are undergoing change.” “It’s very much

about economics,” she added. “Part of what we tried to do was deal with the fact that people coming into neighborhoods are certainly welcome to do that and more people coming to develop helps, but at the same time, we wanted to give people tools to stay in those neighborhoods because if those people stay, then you have diverse neighborhoods.” Adding some great context, the Francisville resident said “we also tried to move away from the idea that gentrifying neighborhoods, whatever color they are, are victims.

The shipping news

To the Editor: Mr. Cardella claims that Leif Erikson found this land before Christopher Columbus (“In October, Oct. 23). Who cares? It’s the accomplishment that counts. Babe Ruth was the first player to hit 60 home runs. Others have done the same. The only difference is that Ruth did it playing fewer games and with a softer ball. When Columbus came here, the Native Americans were already here. Maybe they were first. That doesn’t matter. Did Leif Erikson give his findings to the world? It’s like a doctor finding a cure for a disease and not telling anyone. What good is it then? Spain and Columbus gave it to the world. Vincent DiPietro South Philadelphia

Contractual conundrum Amidst the potpourri of com-

ments in Tom Cardella’s sardonic ode to autumn (“October” Oct. 23), he includes the unilateral cancellation by the School Reform Commission of its status quo contract with district teachers. Tom correctly points out that teachers in Philly, as part of a wage agreement, had traded lower salaries for free medical benefits. This contract was supposedly signed in good faith, and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers expected the SRC to honor it. Except, in the present fiscal crisis, which the teachers did not create, what Tom calls the “School ‘Destruction’ Commission” sneaked behind everyone’s back and unanimously canceled the contract and demanded partial payment of premiums, with no raises. Anyone who works under a labor contract needs to be alarmed by these events. In fact, thousands of union workers showed up at the district’s headquarters Oct. 16 to

Looking south Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion

By Corey Carter

protest this blatant disregard for labor law. Later, the PFT took the SRC to court and won the first round of legal battles with a court injunction against the contract cancellation. It is irrelevant whether teachers should, would or could pay for their medical insurance premiums. A contract is a contract, and once a contract is broken, all trust goes out the window. Gloria Endres South Philadelphia

Thankful thinking To the Editor: We are writing to give a large “Thank you” to Pathmark and all the members of the community who donated school supplies to John H. Taggart School. We received several large boxes full of all the things our students and staff needed to get their school year off to a great start. Many of our families cannot afford to get all the things their children need when school begins. Your donations really made a huge difference by

South PhillyReview helping our students be prepared for class. We applaud everyone’s support and appreciate your generosity. Principal Nelson Reyes, Taggart Staff and Students South Philadelphia

The wheel deal To the Editor: In response to the recent comments from Kenneth Veith (“Motioning for ground rules,” Oct. 16), I cannot agree more. I live and drive in South Philadelphia. Most of my fellow drivers obey the “rules of the road,” which include stopping at red lights and “Stop” signs and going in the same direction as traffic. Many cyclists feel these rules do not apply to them. While drivers are looking for traffic going in the correct directions, some cyclists zip through lights and “Stop” signs and go in the opposite direction. At night, many do not have reflective material on their bodies or bikes. Between them and people who walk across streets without looking, it has become more stressful for drivers. Not all motorists are perfect, but most cyclists are not blameless either. Rose DiLiberto South Philadelphia

“‘Saw’ had me jumping on the edge of my bed. I’m the kind of guy that watches it pitch black at night. Then I’m like, yeah, never again.” Edwin Brydges, 12th and Ritner streets

Two offenders left a man bruised and shot in Queen Village Saturday. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

t approximately 2:41 a.m., police responded to the 200 block of Carpenter Street for a report of a shooting, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. There they met with the complainant, who stated that he had been walking toward Second Street from the 100 block of Carpenter Street when two figures approached him. The first, armed with a handgun, barked “You know what you did, you son of a bitch,” with the accomplice striking him in the upper torso area with a bat. As the victim attempted to escape, the vocal aggressor gave chase and fired two shots at him when he was on the 100 block of Carpenter Street, with one bullet striking his left leg, Tolliver said. A medical unit provided transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for the man, who described the shooter as a white male, 45 to 50 years old; having a stocky build and a bald head; and wearing a blue waist-length jacket; and the bat wielder as a white female with brown, shoulder-length curly hair; and wearing a similar jacket.

Alleged burglar caught

Rashad Wroten

Authorities arrested a Southwest Philly man for supposedly burglarizing a Grays Ferry

car facility. As first reported in the Oct. 23 South Philly Review as “Breaker, breaker,” surveillance video caught the image of a man entering the fenced parking lot of All City Rental, 1320 S. Warfield St., on Oct. 7. The footage showed him searching for a vehicle’s keys after spending several minutes breaking into an office trailer. He then used the automobile to ram the security gate open before escaping with an accomplice, whose image the footage did not capture, in a second ride. Authorities later recovered the mode of transportation on the 2500 block of South 58th Street in Southwest Philly. On Oct. 17, a police officer was able to identify Rashad Wroten as the depicted figure and contacted South Detectives. Without incident, he then arrested the 27-year-old at his home on Oct. 22. Authorities charged Wroten with burglary and related offenses, and he awaits a Nov. 13 preliminary hearing.

Registering the scene Police are seeking a fearless female who robbed a Point Breeze eatery last week. The bartender at Lids Cafe, 2243 Tasker St., told authorities that at 12:50 a.m. Oct. 20, a woman entered the establishment, walked behind the bar and demanded the employee to open the cash register, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The worker, who observed that the woman had her hand in a tote bag and gestured as if she had a firearm, complied, with the offender taking approximately $250 before fleeing in an unknown direction and by an unknown method. The bartender described her as black and 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6; having a thin build; carrying a black tote bag; and wearing gloves and a scarf that covered her face. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Fighting back A Newbold business owner forced out a

woman who attempted to rob her location last week. At 12:10 p.m., the offender entered Bayyinah Fashions, 1705 Snyder Ave., and demanded money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Refusing to give anything up, the proprietor soon came face to face with the interloper, who leaned against her and pushed an unknown sharp object against her chest. The businesswoman, who received treatment at Methodist Hospital for a minor injury to her hand, forcibly removed the figure from her business and last saw her walking westbound on Snyder Avenue toward 18th Street. She described the individual as black, 25-30 years old, 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7 and 230 pounds; having a light brown complexion, a heavy build and black and blond hair; wearing a navy blue hoodie, a black and gray shirt and light blue jeans; and armed with a sharp object.

Surveillance video

Police recently released the image of a man sought for robbery in Marconi East. As first reported in the Oct. 23 South Philly Review as “Point taken,” two women contacted authorities just after 2 a.m. Oct. 12 to tell them an unknown male had accosted them on the 2700 block of South Marvine Street after they left a bar in the vicinity of 12th Street and Oregon Avenue. The man pointed a black revolver at them and demanded “Give me what you got, or I will shoot you.” The first complainant reached into her back pocket and threw to the ground whatever cash she had on her, grabbed the other female, who had nothing taken, and ran home. The suspect immediately fled, with surveillance systems along Oregon Avenue as well as one inside the Broad Street Line station at Broad Street and Oregon Avenue capturing his image.

A man lost blood and a chain in a Lower Moyamensing-situated assault Sunday. While walking on the 1000 block of Emily Street at 12:25 a.m., the complainant had a man on a bicycle approach him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Hitting him in the face with an unknown object, a blow that drew blood from his nose, the aggressor snatched a chain from his victim’s neck and attempted to flee on his bike. The complainant, who received transport to Methodist Hospital for unspecified injuries, knocked the ne’er-do-well from the ride, but he still managed to run away, Tolliver said. He described him as white, 30-40 years old and approximately 6 foot; having a thin build and dark curly hair; being unshaven; wearing a black T-shirt and tan shorts; and armed with an unknown object. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

A big reason to smile

A local dentist picked up a prestigious award in Japan. ■ By Christopher Isaac Review Intern

he residents of Philadelphia can likely tell you themselves what Dr. Norman Tabas, a dentist in the city since 1980, has done to help them. However, it was Oct. 3, in Tokyo, Japan, that he received recognition from his peers for his work. The International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) World Congress XXXI took place in the capital city, with nearly 1,500 dentists from around the world attending, and Tabas was one of the 60 honorees being recognized with awards for their endeavors. Tabas, whose office is located at 2534 S. Broad St., said of being awarded the ICOI Fellowship, “It’s nice to be recognized for

your accomplishments. That’s always a good feeling.” The 59-year-old has been surgically placing implants for the last 18 years, and had to submit 20 completed cases that cor-

responded with various criteria from the ICOI committee, such as the implants having been in place for more than a year. Explaining the system for the award, Tabas said, “It’s almost like if you were a college student, there’s levels going up. So to get your bachelor’s degree, you have a certain number of course requirements, and for your master’s, you’ll have your thesis.” The Fellowship also requires dentists doing implant work to advance their education continuously by taking courses each year in Europe, Asia or North America, depending on which location is hosting that year. Describing the advancements the profession has seen since he started, Tabas said, “The technology’s just unlike anything else. It’s like my old computer from the 1990s would be an antique now, too.” He explained that while some of these developments are merely cosmetic, that there have been huge practical strides as well. When it once could have taken months for a patient to wear his or her new implant, it is now possible for some to begin wearing the addition within a single day. Even with all of his professional travel

experience, Tabas has never thought of leaving home with his profession. He has been in South Philly for 30 years now, and has never pondered departing from the environs to practice dentistry elsewhere. “I started here in the early 1980s, and I never really wanted to be anywhere else,” the Philadelphia native said. “I liked it here.” Another reason to stay might be that even though Tabas has seen leading research developments from all around the world, he says America is the best for looking out for its patients and keeping them safe. Though the technology may advance and change, the people stay the same and keep Tabas happy in his profession. “I like working with people,” he said. “I didn’t want to be buried in a back office somewhere and not seeing anybody all day.” Judging by the success of his practice for the last few decades, it’s probably safe to say Dr. Tabas makes his patients happy, too.

A Mummer constant

The masterminds behind the New Year’s Day celebration are touting community involvement. ■ By Jim Julia Review Special Contributor

f you live in South Philly or have a relative or friend who is a Mummer, someone has probably asked for you to take a ticket to a rafﬂe or a fund-raising event at a clubhouse. Yes, since City and State entities have cut or eliminated funding, the Mummers are on their own, and self-funding is crucial to survival. But while it may seem they are constantly fund-raising, look more closely, and you will see that despite these trying times, the Mummers are still very much involved with community charities, always willing to give their time and efforts to help others who are in need. Below are just some of the community events the Mummers Brigade Division has been a part of in the past year.

I can assure you all five Mummer Divisions could supply the same type of list. Spartans Fancy Brigade: 2014 marked their first year as a brigade. With all the work required of a new organization, they still found the resources to award multiple scholarships by age category. They requested the submission of essays on the topic “What does the American flag mean to you?” Mummers Brigade Association: Partnered with the South Philly Review to sponsor an essay contest for elementary school students. The prize was to be selected as a guest judge at the ’14 Brigade Finale for the first show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The Mummers pride themselves on Golden Crown Fancy Brigade: Memmaking a far-reaching difference. bers helped the Navy Supply Corps to celPhoto Provided by James Bradley ebrate their 215th Birthday at a Ball-Dance Party at the Union League in Center City city’s largest hunger relief organization. Downtowners Fancy Brigade: The Philadelphia. The members of Golden Crown brought a touch of Philadelphia to Downtowners partnered with A&E Clothing Corporation to donate 1,955 pounds the festivities. Bill McIntyre’s Shooting Stars: The of lightly used clothing in their 1st Annual Stars coordinated and collected 1,358 Clothing Drive. A&E works specifically pounds of food in their first annual “Strut with local charities, clubs and schools to against Hunger” food drive in support of provide clothing to those in need. 2nd Street Shooters: The Shooters parPhilabundance, 3616 S. Galloway St., the

ticipated and entertained in the Philadelphia Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s “Philly Great Stride” event. Again, the Mummers provided the flavor of Philadelphia to the event as only they can. Mummers Brigade Association: As part of its “Fancy Brigade Weekend in North Wildwood,” the Brigade donated $1,600 in shirt sales for breast cancer research. Again, members selected a local organization, Debbie’s Friends Fund, which raises funds to help relieve the financial burden felt by many families affected by breast cancer. So, the next time a Mummer asks for help in a fund-raising endeavor, just know that you are most likely supporting an organization that is heavily involved in your community. If interested in making a charitable donation to any of the causes listed above, please contact the associated brigade, or contact the Brigade Association via fancybrigade.com. SPR

Claudia Sherrod, the Executive Director of South Philadelphia Homes, Inc., 1444 Point Breeze Ave., has called 21st and Federal streets home for 55 years. So she’s seen a ton of change – “oh yes,” she agreed. “It’s getting better now but it was a long time before the city would pay us due diligence. But all the market rate houses are going up, and we’re getting an abundance of help,” she explained. They deliver services for hungry, frustrated and under-worked neighbors. She wants to give people “the tools to defend this crazy environment we live in. Sometimes you’re down because there’s no one there to help you pick yourself up.” One of her office’s invaluable resources is helping draw up wills and deeds for residents, a kiss of death to be avoided, something called Tangled Titles. McConnell and the PACDC have been advocating for a City-run Land Bank that would coordinate the management, approvals and development plans of empty, privately-owned and City-owned blighted properties. “We’re an old city with a lot of tangled titles,” McConnell said, and the “Land Bank will be trying to streamline that process,” she explained, noting that the City’s Office of Public Property, The Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation and the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority own all abandoned lots and properties. “Let’s acquire these private properties and make them available for affordable housing,” she said, adding she and her team look at growth not as dangerous but as an opportunity for improvement: “There’s a real sense of ‘Not Again,’” referring to folks who watched everyone flee to the suburbs and now return to shift violently the neighborhood dynamics again. “We want to use growth not to deepen economic segregation but to attack it.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

A Passyunk Square musician will present a tribute to levity and longevity.

s an aficionado of affability, Phil “Philly Cuzz” Battaglia believes nothing can match music’s ability to enliven and enlighten. The 63-year-old entertainer will note the majesty of melodies and heartiness of harmonies as the promoter of and performer at Saturday’s Rock, Hop & Doo-wop celebration at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. “This sort of music is really relevant to the people of South Philly,” the resident of the 1300 block of South 10th Street said of the evening’s emphasis on timeless tunes. “They will absolutely have a great time, and I can’t wait to experience that with them.” The Passyunk Square dweller has aligned himself with numerous luminaries for the East Passyunk Crossing-situated extravaganza, calling on friendships with disc jockeys Dennis Marcucci and King Arthur and performers The Dovells, Frankie & The Fashions, Lights Out and Charlie Gracie, a legendary South Philly product and member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, to tout levity and longevity. Having orchestrated the tribute to Philadelphia Bandstand with Marcucci, Battaglia is hitting an excitement crescendo in preparing to mesh his doo-wop and beach music sensitivities. “Any kind of music can appeal to me, but those are the main comfort inducers,” he said of the genres that have bred the most influence on his creative curiosity. “Doo-wop, especially. I look back and I was an orphan. Doo-wop adopted me.”

LIFESTYLES Thoroughly thrilled to be an admirer and a practitioner of the disciplines, Battaglia, long a lover of having music center on happiness and ease, contends that no matter the circumstances or the setting, he will arrive with his customary abundance of camaraderie and sincerity. Once a South Philly staple, the performer figures this rare appearance in his stomping grounds will prove equally compelling. “I often tell people I’m from North Wildwood and have a winter home in South Philly,” he joked. “Seriously, though, this is going to be a blast. Hopefully, this could be the start of something good. I’d love to pull this off again and again.” THE GREGARIOUS NATIVE honed his infatuation with music through mother Vicki Battaglia, a highly respected piano teacher, and uncle Vincent LaSpada, who, as “Jimmy Saunders,” crafted a renowned big band career that included co-writing “Peach Tree Street” with Frank Sinatra. Songs came to dominate his days when he attended Bishop Neumann High School, with his ambition leading to the creation of dances for school-based gatherings. “I was always interested in being a singer/songwriter,” Battaglia, who had his first tune published and produced at age 16,

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

said of his early comprehension of his career’s possibilities. “It’s been an interesting journey, and I never grow tired of putting out what I feel is the best that I have to give.” Powerless against the lure of vocal discovery and instrumental expression, he began playing in clubs down the Jersey Shore at 17 and made most of the next three decades an exploration of music as an emollient for even the worst case of the doldrums. “I feel very fortunate I had so many positive experiences in my youth,” Battaglia, who also attended Settlement Music School’s Mary Louise Curtis Branch, 416 Queen St., and Temple University, the latter connecting him with blue-eyed soul icons Daryl Hall and John Oates, said. “When you’re lucky enough as a kid to know what you really wish to do, you’ll usually stop at nothing to make it happen.” Supplementing his finances with weekend music gigs, he eventually wandered into the realm of real estate, but that universe fostered frequent frustration, even prompting him to say he will not need to spend time in purgatory because St. Peter will know he suffered enough. While many people apprehensively approached the turn of the century because of expect-

ed computer glitches, he turned the feared year into a transformative one, with 2000 spawning his identity as “Philly Cuzz.” That moniker became official with the release of his first album, “On the Way to Cape May,” which consisted of a Bobby Darin-type arrangement of the title track. Four years later, the success of his single “One Summer Night” launched him into the national spotlight, with Sirius XM playing his South Jersey beach music offerings and doo-wop pieces. “I’m so thankful for the exposure, particularly because what I create considers what people listen to in order to feel good,” Battaglia, whose acclaim took him to Las Vegas, where he fraternized with fellow crooner and South Philly native Tony Sacca, said. “Personally, it’s great to have my name out there. It’s greater, though, to make friends and put out good work.” With additional milestones including emcee duties for the North Wildwood-situated Italian Festival and singing engagements at the Red Bank, N.J.-based Count Basie Theater, he has constantly married the notions of acquiring name recognition and promoting his field’s history as a nurturer of heartfelt emotion and future as a source of tranquillity and civility. Never one to pigeonhole himself, though,

Battaglia has willingly courted placement in other branches of music, notably penning children’s songs, a jingle for Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., and “Jersey Devil,” a musical that he is looking to adapt for the stage. “The best vehicle for me in the future would be to write musicals,” he said. “I’m always thinking about how to convey all these ideas, and I’m liking the results. With ‘Jersey Devil,’ it’s like having a child and wanting to send him or her out into the world.” With only two days remaining until the Neumann-Goretti show, Battaglia, whose nickname reflects his identity as a friend to all, aims to make the presentation an affirmation of music’s abilities to render dilemmas as mere stumbling blocks on the way to figurative harmony and loves his chance to create the literal sort. “I’ve learned I have to depend on myself to accomplish what I want,” he said. “The concert is proof I have great friends who believe in being proactive, too.” SPR For tickets, call 215-568-2400, or visit onthewaytocapemay.com.

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

You get the government you pay for

ncle Nunzi likes to say, “You get what you pay for.” I have a hunch that most of you agree, except when it comes to your government. Too many of you believe when it comes to good government, you can get it on the cheap. Too many of you believe when it comes to paying for your Medicare or good schools or good roads, the money appears by waving a magic wand. Too many of you believe only your own expenses go up, but not the cost of government. When you believe you can get good government on the cheap, you buy the conservative hokum that even smart conservatives don’t believe. Conservatives don’t believe you can attract good executives in private industry on the cheap. They tell us we need to pay CEOs millions of dollars to attract the cream of the crop. Conservatives don’t believe you get creative capitalism on the cheap and argue for higher profit margins. So long as you’re discussing the private sector, conservatives argue that money is the essential incentive. It’s only when they discuss the public sector that conservatives turn parsimonious (except maybe for defense spending, where big defense contractors make big bucks). So what is it that good conservatives really believe? In the words of conservative guru Grover Norquist, they believe in a government that is small enough to drown in a bathtub. They believe low taxes are good because in starving government, one frees up capitalists to maximize profits. They don’t worry about the ever-expanding gap between rich and poor because they view the top earners as the success stories and the rest of us as losers. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney didn’t misspeak when he blasted 47 percent of the American people as “takers.” He echoed what the real conservative philosophy is when his ilk gathers around and talks in private. In order to justify the harshness of their belief system and sell it to the public, they label the less fortunate as lazy losers waiting for the dole. Conservatives don’t care about increasing the minimum wage either because they argue that fast food workers are pretty much high school kids working part-time entry level jobs. But no smart conservatives can really believe their own malarkey. All one has to do is look around to see that many of those jobs flipping burgers are now manned by older, skilled people who have lost their jobs. Conservative radio talkers and Fox News

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

have done a skillful job of convincing the average voter that he or she is overtaxed. The conservative mantra is “Thou shall not raise taxes.” Not ever. Not in any circumstance. Norquist even insists that true conservatives sign an oath to that effect. In a crunch, hey, all you have to do is cut spending. And when those cuts cause larger classroom sizes or potholes or fewer cops on the street or fewer health-care workers to meet the Ebola crisis, conservatives argue that just proves government doesn’t work. In today’s political environment, voting a conservative into office isn’t voting for someone to oversee government competently, but voting for someone to euthanize government. Believe we’re overtaxed? The Citizens For Tax Justice report that the United States ranks third lowest in taxing its citizens. Only Mexico and Chile rank below us among the 24 countries included in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Even that conservative deity, President Ronald Reagan, raised taxes 11 times, according to his friend and former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.). Simpson was a member of President Obama’s Tax Reform Commission. He is a reminder of a time when Republicans were responsible enough not to spread myths. The idea that one can never raise taxes has even taken root among today’s liberals, including President Barack Obama. Liberal politicians tend not to tell the truth about taxes in a different way than conservatives. Oh, they’ll admit that more revenue is needed alright, but pretend you can do it merely by taxing the affluent. Smart liberals know better. They know that one can’t pay the bills merely by bumping up the tax rates on rich folks. Sure, that would help, but wouldn’t come close to solving the problem. The dirty little truth that most liberals know but won’t speak is that taxes on the middle class would also have to go up. Go try to run on that proposition these days. So what we get from Obama and the liberal members of Congress is not that taxes on the middle class are too high, they are too low. Am I saying that we automatically get a well-run government by raising revenue? No, that would be foolish. Conservatives don’t believe in government, so to an extent they’re off the hook here. Liberals profess a belief in an activist government that can act to right the wrongs of runaway capitalism. Therefore, liberals, when they gain power, have a special obligation to the rest of us. Liberals have to make sure government works. They must weed out programs that don’t and be even more ruthless than conservatives in eliminating waste. Liberals are the ones who should be wearing the green-eye shades. A perfect government doesn’t exist, but 22 other countries acknowledge what we in America refuse to. We get the government we pay for. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Closed door policy

David Andersen Collins (Dan Stevens) dutifully served his country and uses his military background and charm to gain access to the home and hearts of a fallen comrade’s relatives.

■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

irector Adam Wingard’s home-invasion slasher “You’re Next” was one of last year’s most underrated movies — a pristinely-made skewering of the new generation of irony. For his follow-up, Wingard offers a stealthier type of home-invasion flick, in which the enemy doesn’t wear a mask and shoot arrows through windows, but is invited in through the front door. Slimming down, chiseling up and leaving his period duds in the closet, “Downton Abbey” alum Dan Stevens plays David, a military vet who befriends the family of a fallen comrade, Caleb, and begins living with them after confessing that he made a promise to look after the deceased figure’s next of kin. David teaches Caleb’s kid brother, Luke (Brendan Meyer), how to stick up for himself; attracts and unnerves Caleb’s teenage sister, Anna (Maika Monroe); and becomes protector and surrogate son to Caleb’s mom, Laura (Sheila Kelley). But, of course, David isn’t quite what he seems, and the tension of the film rests on just how long it will take for each family member to remove his or her blinders of grief to see it. As they did with “You’re Next,” Wingard and writer Simon Barrett revel in delivering a little throwback horror fun, fusing an electro-pop soundtrack and iconic thriller imagery with a newfangled mood that’s hip and relevant. “The Guest” has a recognizable grindhouse vibe, while still feeling resolutely of its time. Stevens, an actor of television and stage who left many viewers unsure of his capabilities, proves himself more formidable than ever. He’s scary and utterly unpredictable as an enigmatic loose cannon, and his

magnetic appeal attests to why it would take so long for his smitten hosts to see the truth. Anna is the one who starts putting the pieces together, and, as an actress, young Monroe suggests she’s much more than just another buxom blonde typecast in a Halloween-season thriller. Her scenes with Stevens are likely the film’s best, and while “The Guest” is no “You’re Next,” it’s a fine piece to sate the appetites of Wingard fans.

ON THE SCENE

On the scene By Tom Conway Columnist

Going back in time

evin Sbraga will be the second winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef” to set up shop in South Philly come the opening of Juniper Commons later this fall at the intersection of Broad and South streets. Interestingly, the new concept will be centered on something much of America has tried to forget — the 1980s. “Juniper Commons is an homage to my childhood, inspired by one of my favorite decades,” Sbraga said. “When you talk about the eighties, everyone focuses on the pop culture, not the food or drinks. While many chefs have forgone revisiting this decade, I’m excited to reinvent dishes that have been deemed passé into quality dishes that guests will relate to today.” The menu will focus on placing a modern twist on some of the dishes that broke out in the ’80s then settled in as stalwarts in the early ’90’s before becoming somewhat boring inclusions on any “American” menu by the end of the century. Sbraga is aiming to reinvigorate some of these dishes, which clearly carved space in the minds of diners but simply lost their way. Think “power lunch” items like a raw bar tower or shrimp cocktail reinvented. And, for dinner, big flavors from the age of roasted meats sliced to order, bread bowls filled with dip and salad bars with raspberry vinaigrette will be present, but with a more refined approach. Sbraga divulged some examples from the opening menu: Smoked Fish Platter with salmon, whitefish terrine, bluefish, lentil salad, and housemade black bread Beef Fat Fries with cherry pepper aioli and pecorino Caesar Salad prepared tableside with housemade crou-

tons and dressing Eggplant Parmesan rings of panko-crusted eggplant topped with marinara sauce, locatelli, and parsley Rotisserie Chicken served with Marsala sauce and herb bouquet Wood Roasted Prime Rib cooked on the rotisserie and served with ox tail au jus and roasted garlic Not to be left out, the bar program will follow along the same path — rescuing some classic flavors from over-sugared approaches. In doing so, Juniper Commons seeks to move more than a few drinks from the realm of hokey nostalgia orders and into today’s cocktail lexicon. Given the name, it’s obvious which spirit will be the most heavily featured. The collection will feature 50 bottles of gin, complimented by a selection of housemade tonics infused with flavors ranging from floral and herbaceous to citrus and spicy. “The eighties were a time when cocktails were driven more by sugar and concentrated juices than by spirits,” Sbraga Dining’s Director of Operations Ben Fileccia said. “At Juniper Commons, we are taking those shunned drinks and turning them into libations that hold up to today’s cocktail standards — think Sex on The Beach with cranberry washed vodka, peach preserves and fresh squeezed orange juice.” In contrast to the intimate and exclusive angle taken by fellow "Top Chef" winner Nick Elmi at Laurel, 1617 E. Passyunk Ave., Sbraga will opt for a modern space that seats 140 at Juniper Commons. Eighties design details such as wood paneling, brass toned metals and angled patterns will be blended with modern lighting, fixtures and upholsteries. An especially nice touch will be custom wallpaper made from the pages of local newspapers dating back three decades. There has been no word yet on if the South Philly Review will grab some real estate on that wall. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

Eileen’s RumChata Pina Colada

Halloween hops

iddy children will line local streets tomorrow evening for Halloween, but aside from sampling their spoils, what can the more mature residents of South Philly call on to make the night a jolt for the senses? For Eileen Eubanks, the discussion can start and end by choosing her RumChata Pina Colada. Like many other folks across the country, the resident of the 2300 block of South 12th Street has fallen hard for RumChata, which uses five-times distilled Caribbean rum, the freshest dairy cream, touches of natural cinnamon, sugar, vanilla and other secret flavors to make taste buds bow to its allure. The liqueur debuted in 2009, with its website noting manufacturers sold their millionth case this past April. Counting herself among the devotees, the Lower Moyamensing inhabitant certainly believes that treats are better than tricks. SPR

INGREDIENTS:

ap Room on 19th, 2400 S. 19th St., will make Halloween an even happier occasion for children and adults with tomorrow’s 5-7 p.m. Pumpkin Fest and Tap Takeover. The site will offer six discounted pumpkin beers, a pumpkin cocktail, pumpkin snacks, pumpkin painting and face painting for the youngsters (and tipsy adults, if applicable!).

Moonstone Philly opened last year and has since become a popular destination for lovers of ﬁne food and lively libations. done. A bartender apologized and agreed it was well done. He ordered a fresh burger to be prepared. It was still not medium rare, but was not overcooked like the first one. The beef was nicely seasoned and served on a not-too-sweet brioche bun. Tater tots are fried creations that are crispy on the outside and creamy, like a potato latke, on the inside. I received small rounds of potatoes that neither looked nor tasted like tater tots. The fried catfish in the sandwich was perfect. It was moist on the inside and crispy, free of grease, on the outside. A spicy slaw was slathered on top. I liked it better than Edward, who prefers tartar sauce with fried food. The sandwich reminded me of catfish po’ boys. Moonshine Philly, which retains the original tin ceiling and pretty, almost lateVictorian wood bar, was filled outside and (continued from page 25) = Very Good = Extraordinary

clearly recall the lone time I tasted moonshine. Chef Jack McDavid, a good old Southern boy to the core, had just opened Jack’s Firehouse. He lovingly brought out his homemade hooch from his still after pouring it into a large jug. We did not toss one down hoisted from the jug. He poured me a glass. It tasted like firewater. I thought about that night during dinner at Moonshine Philly, a delightful neighborhood pub in Pennsport. It was easy to find. The brightly lit sign hangs above the outdoor seating, complete with a Parisian heat lamp, where people were enjoying a pint and having dinner. We sat at the bar to watch some college football and ordered a Rob Roy ($13.50) and a martini ($8) as we perused the menu, which is all over the map. Italian, American and Mexican dishes are on offer. Soup of the day ($5) was brisket and potato. That seemed odd. I usually think of a creamed soup when I think of potato soup. This looked like the gravy one would get after braising a brisket for hours. The soup was tomato-based, with bits of tender brisket keeping company with potatoes, onions and carrots. It was thinned with a bit of stock, and I confess it was rather tasty. French onion soup ($5) did not fare as well. It was piping hot from the oven, but as soon as I took a spoonful, the salt monster came over me. The broth was much too salty, but the onions were nicely caramelized, and the cheese added a bit of texture.

Beet salad ($9) was pleasant enough. Cool red beets were tossed with cashews, some greens and blue cheese. The dressing lacked seasoning and a bit of acid. Vinegar or lemon juice would have produced a better flavor, but some salt did help. Arugula salad ($9.50) was truly bland. A small mound of spicy baby arugula leaves was saturated with a bland dressing made with pulverized pistachio nuts and olive oil. If the nuts had been salted and chopped, it would have added texture. Sliced sweet figs were fine on their own but did little for the greens. Bits of cheese were supposed to be included, but I did not receive any cheese. I thought the addition of endive or romaine lettuce would have given the salad more crunch. The staff at Moonshine Tavern is firstrate, possessing a friendly, yet professional nature. Two bartenders answered our questions about wine and dishes on the bill of fare. I wanted a glass of red wine to sip with a cheeseburger ($9.50). Malbec from Argentina has gained in popularity in restaurants and pubs throughout the city, and the year-old Pennsport location offers three of them. A bartender offered me a sip of each so I could make my selection. My choice ($6) imparted a rich flavor that I knew would drink well with a burger. Since Edward ordered a catfish sandwich ($9), he chose a light crisp Pinot Grigio ($6). I ordered my cheeseburger medium rare. Patrons can choose either French fries or tater tots. I love tater tots. The best I ever tasted are served at Society Hill’s Jones. Unfortunately, the burger arrived well

hose strolling along East Passyunk Avenue may encounter Joe Cicala running back and forth during the course of the evening. The chef is not lost, but simply juggling his executive chef roles at Le Virtù, 1927 E. Passyunk Ave.,

and Brigantessa, 1520 E. Passyunk Ave. He manages this menu of responsibilities along with the titles of husband to pastry chef Angela Ranalli and father to 6-year-old Augustino. The establishment is described as an authentic forneria serving southern Italian cuisine including wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and other ovenbaked dishes, wood-grilled meats, house-cured salumi, seasonal antipasti and hard-to-find Italian wine and beer. With 20 lower level seats and 50 to 55 upstairs, the restaurant has quickly wowed locals. “I didn’t know it would be this popular right off the bat,” he said of the location named for the female briganti — legendary guerilla warriors that resisted the unification of Italy in the 1860s and continued doing so even after the north came into power. “It’s been very stressful.” Living up to the high avenue standards is nothing new for the 32-yearold who calls 12th and Ritner streets home. “I am really proud to be involved, and I am trying my best to keep it going,” Cicala said. The three-time James Beard Award semifinalist will likely be getting many pizza orders, as Brigantessa’s

has a centrally located wood-burning oven that was hand-made to order in Naples and mortared with volcanic ash from Vesuvius. Cicala is up to the challenge, as he traveled to Italy to earn his Pizzaiolo Verace certiﬁcation (demonstrating his pizza prowess in front of a committee, as required by law). “We’re excited to bring the unpretentious, live-in-the-moment spirit of southern Italy to our neighborhood’s dining scene, and we look forward to lingering over a vera pizza napoletana and an American or Italian beer, or perhaps a glass or two of wine shared with friends, both old and new,” Cicala said.

volcano in the center. Add the eggs and oil, and mix with a fork, slowly incorporating the flour. Once the mixture is somewhat homogenous, kneed for five minutes by hand until the dough becomes firm and smooth. Let rest for one hour covered in the refrigerator. Using a pasta machine, roll out the dough from the largest setting to the second to smallest. Cut the dough into 1-inch strips approximately 6-inches long. Cook in salted boiling water for three minutes or until tender. Add the cooked pasta to a pan with the ragu and toss. Serve with pecorino cheese, and dust with fennel pollen.

Goalie moly!

A Pennsport girl is garnering kudos as a standout hockey netminder. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

hen commencing her hockey career as a 4-year-old registrant through the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., Alexa Davis diligently handled her duties as a playmaker. Fast forward seven years, and the resident of the 200 block of Mifﬂin Street has ceased being a center and has become the center of attention as a revered goaltender, with her prowess even prompting an all-boys postsecondary education institution to add her to its middle school squad. “When I made the switch, I thought goaltending would be hard, and it has been at times,” the Pennsport inhabitant said Friday at Burke Playground, Second and Jackson streets, where EOM holds its spring and fall seasons. “I’ve gotten used to it, though, and it’s really fun stopping pucks and getting better at understanding the game.” Alexa, a sixth-grader at Christopher Columbus Charter School, 1242-46 S. 12th St., has aided Roman Catholic High School’s youth unit for the last two weeks, having earned a spot through her stellar play and EOM coaches’ connections with the Cahillites. No matter if she is playing ice hockey for that club or roller hockey for her playground team, the energetic girl garners respect not simply for being a female testing her might within a male-dominated discipline but also for her unwavering commitment to meshing fun and focus. “It’s a very quick game, so I always have to be aware,” the youngster said of possessing acute reflexes and limbs. “I’ve been playing for most of my life, but there’s always going to be something to improve.” Essentially a self-taught keeper, Alexa, whose basement has become an extra practice location, has looked to footage of Philadelphia Flyers rubber stoppers Ray Emery and Steve Mason for assistance, but she knows the onus of registering victories rests mainly on her shoulders, or, in this, case, her glove, blocker, stick and pads. That attitude has assisted Alexa no matter which uniform that she dons or teammates whom she supports, with the Roman

Alexa Davis has claimed three Goalie of the Year honors from the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association and is increasing her comprehension of netminding with the Roman Catholic High School middle school team. She also plays defense for Rizzo Rink.

Catholic assignment proving particularly compelling. “It’s a great opportunity for her,” mother Tracey Triolo said of the ambitious preteen. “She’s the first girl ever to play for Roman, so there’s that novelty, but Alexa doesn’t let that get to her.” The composed child confessed to feeling quite ecstatic over the possibility of making trips to Pittsburgh and Lake Placid, N.Y., for Roman Catholic, which plays in West Chester and practices at the University of Pennsylvania’s Class of 1923

Arena. Those settings, though deserving of much reverence, could come to pale in comparison to the national and international locations that could wow her world if she continues her monumental mental maturation. “If she wants greater exposure, she is going to have to start playing with girls,” Triolo said of her offspring, who has received interest from the Delco Phantoms Ice Hockey Club. “I think she’s on a great path. Time will tell.” ALEXA MIGHT INDEED need to fend off fel-

low females for distinction, but she began her athletic journey with mastering a male, her brother Stephen, in mind. “I always thought I could be better than him,” she said of her sibling. “Really, I just wanted to be good no matter what I tried.” Alexa has played soccer and basketball for EOM, yet hockey has held sway the longest during her tenure with the 53-yearold entity. She started to play very well as a 7-year-old, and, proving that her talent included far more than the ability to thwart shots, she started to display a knack for blocking them, too, as a defenseman, or defensewoman, so to speak, for Rizzo Rink, 1101 S. Front St. “I occasionally play goal there, but, yeah, I play mostly defense, and that’s fun, too,” Alexa said, adding that speedy backwards skating and concentrating on opponents’ waists more than their sticks help her to thrive and to strive to make the contest a manageable one for whoever stands between the pipes. When she is guarding the goal, the spry specimen specializes in flashing a quick glove and is working on using her stick better and diminishing the temptation of aiming for her five-hole. No matter what she is looking to improve, her skills have already bred three Goalie of the Year honors from EOM and the much-appreciated roster spot for Roman Catholic. “It doesn’t really feel that different to me that I’m a girl playing against mostly boys,” she said. “No matter what they are, when I’m the goalie, I want to stop them from scoring.” Being a dual threat with her goaltending and skating renown, Alexa will need to determine which endeavor will likely yield more opportunities and will gain a greater sense of that when Rizzo Rink’s season opens next month and as Roman Catholic’s and EOM’s campaigns unfold. While professional pursuits might not be clear yet, the youngster tasked with preventing one kind of goal will continue to nourish the growth of another sort. “Winning an Olympic gold medal would be great,” Alexa said. “That’s the hope,” her matriarch added. “Wouldn’t that be something? Look at the girl from South Philly.” SPR
