Several years ago, I received a book called “Save the Deli.” The focus was on the dwindling number of authentic delis in the country, which made me long for the days when real Jewish delis dotted the American culinary landscape.

A fortiďŹ ed future To the Editor: With the closures of many schools in the School District of Philadelphia, 186th District state Rep. Jordan Harris has proposed legislation that would add three new members to the School Reform Commission. These new members would include a parent representative from both charter and public schools and the president of the city-wide student government association. Harris, a former educator in the Philadelphia public school system, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that parental voice and involvement is a permanent voting fixture on the School Reform Commission, and that we have a formal student voice on the commission. We can no longer depend on an informal voice from parents and students with regards to the education of their children and themselves.â&#x20AC;?

As a student, I support Mr. Harrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legislation. I feel as though people tend not to take studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; opinions seriously because of their young age. Thus, it is wise that the voice of the parents and students are heard and accounted for before making any decisions. Representative Harris also supports increasing funding to Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State System of Higher Education and the Philadelphia School District. As a future first generation college student, I look forward to affordable college tuitions at a quality institution that would provide me with a great education to help me reach my career goals and stand out in this competitive world. Every student, regardless of financial situation, deserves the same opportunity as everybody else in the country in getting a higher education that will positively affect his or her future. As Nelson Mandela said,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kudos to the Jackson School community for putting together this wonderful project (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Digginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; school,â&#x20AC;? Nov. 28). This is how community schools are supposed to work. That does not mean that the district is supposed to take advantage of the generosity of parents and staff by cutting off funding. All schools need full funding of resources for all children. But community involvement like this provides enrichment and additional services that are most appreciated by the students. Well done!!!â&#x20AC;? Gloria Endres via southphillyreview.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congrats, Tom (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cultivating a worldly approach,â&#x20AC;? Nov. 28). I am not surprised that you would accept this unique opportunity to enrich your studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exposure to a wider world view.â&#x20AC;? Patricia Nakashima via southphillyreview.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, Southern destroyed Neumann-Goretti (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair is fowl,â&#x20AC;? Nov. 28)! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see my alma mater score such an impressive victory. Go, Rams!â&#x20AC;? Ben McGee viasouthphillyreview.com

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything is possible. I would like to see that happen but just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. If they do, the city is going to go crazy.â&#x20AC;? John Iacaruso, 18th and Forrestal streets

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congressman Cocaine should resign but how is he a hypocrite for pushing a bill calling for drug testing welfare recipients (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turkeys,â&#x20AC;? Nov. 28)? Was he on welfare? Much like the racist Tea Party guy who spit on a black Congressman during the Obamacare rallies, it is a myth that there was a sign that said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep your government hands off my Medicare.â&#x20AC;? Sounds like someone is taking a position simply because of what their ideological leaders told them. And if a few mean Facebook posts mean a family is split apart, then there may be as many split apart families as there are Americans who cannot keep their insurance.â&#x20AC;?

Surgeon busted Authorities arrested a Lower Moyamensing-based doctor in a drug raid last week. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

ntering a Grays Ferry rowhome at around 4:40 p.m. Nov. 26, police supposedly encountered Dr. Andrew Collier Jr., whom the website for the Philadelphia Orthopaedic Associates, 2410 S. Broad St., has listed as a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, writing prescriptions, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. One of four people in the 30th Street abode, the 61-year-old New Jersey resident, who posted 10 percent of his $20,000 bail, awaits a Dec. 31 status hearing on charges of conspiracy, possession of a controlled substance and manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver. Officers found $740 worth of marijuana and $425 worth of barbiturates in the property, Russell said, with the other men, Alexander Palmisano, Steven Feldsher and Phillip Chestnut, all allegedly having paraphernalia on them.

Police busted a Pennsport resident for his alleged involvement in a Friday robbery. A worker at Kin Laundromat, 1846 E. Moyamensing Ave., told authorities he was inside his Pennsport-situated place of employment at 10 a.m. when two unknown males entered, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One ordered the employee to give him money, with the complainant stating he then delivered two blows to his head with what he believes was a hammer. The second figure nabbed approximately $700 from a filing cabinet drawer before he and his supposed accomplice fled, Tolliver said. Authorities transported the victim to Thomas Jefferson Hospital, where he received approximately 12 staples to secure two head lacerations. Reviewing surveillance footage, law enforcement agents recognized one of the men as Zafiya Stringfield, 25. Locating him on the 400 block of Watkins Street, they told him they were investigating a robbery and arrested him after positive identification from the complainant. Stringfield awaits a Dec. 12 preliminary hearing on charges of criminal conspiracy, theft, robbery, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime and assault. The victim could not provide a thorough description of the other man.

Surveillance video

Authorities are hoping surveillance footage can help them to nab two males for their involvement in an East Passyunk Crossing theft. The duo entered Cantina Los Caballitos, 1651 E. Passyunk Ave., within seconds of each other Nov. 3 and took their seats at the bar, police said. Leaving the area a short time after, the two approached a counter, with the first taking a worker’s cell phone and the second serving as a lookout. They then fled in an unknown direction. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Abject objects Two offenders used punches and a baseball bat to inflict damage Saturday in Queen Village. While walking on the 900 block of South Fifth Street at 2:30 p.m., the complainant noted the men exiting a parked vehicle, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One delivered a punch to his face, while the other used a baseball bat to strike his shins. They then returned to the vehicle, of which he could provide no description, and fled the area in an unknown direction. The victim, who received a private ride to Pennsylvania Hospital for bruising and swelling to his face and legs, described the first figure as white, 6 foot, having facial hair and wearing a gray hoodie and the second as white, 5-foot-10 and also wearing a gray hoodie. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Cash ﬂow problem A Lower Moyamensing home invasion left a resident minus $12,000 last week. The property owner told authorities that at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 26, he heard a knock on the door of his abode on the 2500 block of South Jessup Street and glimpsed outside to see a man holding a package, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When he opened the door, the complainant soon found himself under attack, as the package-bearing individual and another figure, whom he believed to be a woman, knocked him to the ground, smashed his face into the floor and started to tie him up with rope. The second offender eventually went to the second floor for an instant, with the first demanding that the victim not look up, Tolliver said, and the two fleeing soon

after. The intruders were clad in dark clothing and wore black ski masks, leading the complainant’s being able only to presume the second was a woman. Sustaining minor injuries to his face, the homeowner also reported the aforementioned sum missing. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Pennsport pilferer A blunt thief made off with cash and a cell phone Monday night in Pennsport. Walking up the steps to a residence on the 1800 block of East Moyamensing Avenue at 11:50 p.m., the complainant stated an unknown male approached him from his right side, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He came to believe the foreigner had a gun when he observed his hand in his hoodie’s pocket, tossed $65 to the ground and handed the interloper his cell phone after the offender barked “This is a robbery; don’t make it a homicide; empty your pockets.” The offender gave the victim to the count of “5” to go inside the home, Tolliver said, threatening to shoot him if he did not. Following instructions, he was unable to tell in which direction the attacker fled. He described him as black, 5-foot-10; having a medium build and a dark complexion; and wearing a red hoodie, blue jeans and red and white sneakers. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Registered complaint A would-be customer became a definite thief Monday afternoon in Marconi East. The complainant stated he was ringing up items for a patron of City News and Tobacco, 2655 S. Franklin St., at 12:14 p.m. when the prospective purchaser jumped over the counter and started to fight him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Knocking the worker to the ground, he took approximately $300 from the register before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction. The victim described the offender as black, in his mid-20s; having a medium build and light complexion; and wearing a dark hoodie and similarly colored pants.

While inside her establishment at 6:30 p.m., the owner of Anna G Fashion, 623 South St., reported that the trio entered the store and caused a disturbance, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. After asking the three to leave, she soon had to defend against kicks and punches before they allegedly grabbed merchandise and fled on foot. At approximately 11:30 p.m. that day, authorities stopped them as part of their investigation and arrested two juveniles and Dorianna Joseph, a 19-year-old Upper Darby resident, after the complainant identified them, with Joseph charged with criminal conspiracy, simple assault, retail theft and robbery.

A dreamy holiday A local hip-hop star teamed with Unity in the Community for a Grays Ferry pre-Thanksgiving giveaway. ■ By Bill Chenevert R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

hen Philadelphia rapper and South Philly favorite Meek Mill decided he wanted to give back to his city, he came to the mayor’s ofce. Tumar Alexander, the Mayor’s Deputy Director of Legislative and Community Affairs, connected the dots and put Mill in the capable hands of one of South Philly’s biggest community heroes – Anton Moore and his philanthropic organization, Unity in the Community. Days later and they were handing out free turkeys and facilitating a coat drive at Vare Recreation Center, 2600 Morris St., Thanksgiving Eve. Swarms of smart phones “I’m a firm believer in the captured Meek Mill handing scripture that says ‘To whom out turkeys at the Vare much is given, much is reRecreation Center in a quired,’” 186th District state charitable collaboration Rep. Jordan Harris, whose with Anton Moore’s nonoffices reside at 1300 Point proﬁt the night before Breeze Ave., explained. “This Thanksgiving. is a great way to spend the of year to think day before Thanksgiving.” S ta f f P h o t o b y B i l l C h e n about giving. evert The spirit of giving and tak“It’s always ing care of one’s fellow man good throughwas in the air in the gymnaout the year but sium of the Grays Ferry community space, as 200 turkeys were handed especially during the holidays,” the Unity out, provided by Meek Mill himself, and in the Community president and founder coats were dispensed to prepare needful said. “We lean on one another to better the community.” neighbors for the impending cold winter.

Sondra Williams, the captain of the 1600 Residents anywhere near the 2000 block of Snyder Avenue already know that block of South Marston Street, rattled off a Moore’s been giving back to the commu- list of similar events in the neighborhood nity for years. He stressed that the holiday that transpired in the previous few nights. season isn’t and shouldn’t be the only time Tasker Elite teamed up with Universal

Audenried Charter High School, 3301 Tasker St., for a Thanksgiving dinner that fed over 500 people Nov. 25; The Refuge Temple of Jesus Christ, 1629-37 S. 28th St., gave away 100 turkeys alongside gift baskets Nov. 26; andSt. Gabriel School, 2917 Dickinson St., was the hub of a gift card and turkey giveaway Nov. 27. Alexander was on hand to make sure everything went smoothly as nearly 600 attendees looked over coats and received turkeys in tote bags. “For me, I grew up in North Philly, I’m born and raised in this city,” he said. “So it’s a blessing to be able to give back. The organizers and the volunteers here are full of the spirit of giving.” Moore’s been spearheading giving in South Philly for quite some time now, and his mother and sister knew he was special when he was young. “He always had a good heart, always trying to give back to the community,” his sister, Danea, who calls the 2000 block of Snyder Avenue her home, said. “He’s one of a kind.” His mother, Danine, is especially proud of when her son got to meet President Barack Obama. Moore was managing DJ Diamond Kuts, who had been asked to DJ for Obama during a “Get Out to Vote Rally” in ’10. She was also quick to admit that the season of giving is here and now: “It’s for

the giving – it’s important to think about the less fortunate during the holidays.” The Moores planned to spend their Thanksgiving with family on the 2300 block of Pierce Street. The event had been hyped by Hot 107.9, whose offices are on City Line Avenue in Bala Cynwyd. Tyree Gallimore, a North Philly resident and Promotions Coordinator for the station, was there to support the cause. “We’re supporting the cause and Unity in the Community,” the 28-year-old said. “We’ve been running commercials, having our jocks talk about it on air and just getting the word out.” Moore was happy the night went off without a hitch and said “the event was a success,” and that he and his charitable efforts seek to “celebrate peace in the community” and “encourage and inspire each other.” He also hopes to continue to work in this specific area of Grays Ferry, especially with Alexander and Harris. “Tumar and state Rep. Harris are major supporters of the Unity in the Community, and I’m looking forward to working with the two of them in ’14,” Moore said, adding his enthusiasm for assisting the latter’s re-election campaign.

TOY DRIVE

continued from page 1 Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., where he’s a sophomore. Something clicked in him and he knew at that moment that it wasn’t right – kids in his own neighborhood were hungry, and by safe assumption, weren’t as fortunate as he and could certainly be looking at a sad and giftless Christmas. So he did what very few teens would do – he started a one-man toy drive. The soonto-be-16-year-old essentially initiated the effort with a simple question posed to his father: “Well, why don’t we do something for the kids? Christmas is coming.” Since he began standing, with the help of crutches from a high ankle sprain, on the corner of 12th and Federal streets from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Nov. 22, he has collected nearly $300 worth of toys. He and his patriarch will be collecting toys at this location until Dec. 12. “It humbles you,” the young Coletti said. “I couldn’t believe how fast it snowballs. We’re going to donate them to the paper [South Philly Review] and give some to the Jackson School.” The honor student is keenly aware of privilege and struggle. His mom moved to Missouri from Northeast Philadelphia when he was offered the decision to stay or go. He opted to move in with his father, and they have been on the 1100 block of Annin Street for almost four years. “It’s just me and him,” the older Coletti said. “And he sees how hard it is to work and struggle.” AT PREP CHARTER, students complete coursework in one significant but slightly unconventional away. It’s called Career Development Internships, with service literally built into the curriculum. “Last year I was at City Hall in the criminal justice system,” Dante explained, “and this year I’m at Pennsylvania Hospital at Eighth and Spruce [streets]. I help patients, feed them their lunch, check to see if they need anything like water or anything else – if it’s something I can’t help with I’ll ask the nurse – and go around with the [Philadelphia] Inquirer to see if they want it.” Though he enjoys it, it’s still a subject. “Besides the research papers, yeah, it’s something new,” the Passyunk Square dweller said. “It’s a site to go to instead of staying in school five days a week.” Karen Shannon, Prep Charter’s Vice Principal and Athletic Director, loves the way that this aspect of the curriculum develops a whole adult. “It’s service. And he can include it on a re·sumé, so he’s doing something of value

last year and witnessed the heartbreaking loss to the New York Yankees in the 2009 World Series. He started playing T-ball at 4 and looks toward his brother for inspiration. Frank Cuclino, 21, played baseball for Loganbased Central High School and cooks for Chickie’s & Pete’s, 1526 Packer Ave. He and his friends play football in season pretty much every weekend down by the eatery and the stadium complex. “We usually can get 11 per team, and it’s crew vs. crew – like 18th Street versus whoever,” Dante said. One friend also helps him at the end of the school year, when they help Andrew Jackson School close up in June. “Right when school gets out, they have boxes and things that need to be moved, and me and my friend Andrew help move boxes and clean up for the summer,” Dante said. That’s the kind of kid he is.

A former Queen Village resident is further rejuvenating his music career with stints at two establishments. ■ By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

aving pondered a life as an actor and a lawyer, Andy Kahn can certainly claim his third vocational choice has proven the charm. The pulsating-with-positivity pianist garnered his initial success more than three decades ago and is reveling in a much-appreciated encore with friends as The All-Star Jazz Trio, performing weekly shows at a pair of Center City restaurants. “I’m a very fortunate guy and feel as if I’ve lived a couple of lifetimes,” the 61-year-old key canvasser said last week at the Center City-situated Jacobs Music, for whom he serves as Artist in Residence. “This is what I live for, being an entertainer.” The former inhabitant of the 400 block of Catharine Street and present Center City dweller had already been enjoying Thursday gigs at The Prime Rib for two years before devising the Late Night Lounge Saturday option to offer more displays of his talent and that of peers Bruce Klauber and Bruce Kaminsky. They also forged a relationship with Square on Square Restaurant and have delighted diners each Wednesday since mid-November. Kahn tabs the occasions as means to exalt the Great American Songbook, the treasured collection of tunes that he earnestly ventured to tout Andy Kahn has devoted countless hours to advancing his love of piano-based artistry.

LIFESTYLES four years ago by designing Music by Intention concerts. Having heralded the melodic masterpieces nonstop for the last two years, he proceeds with a simple yet admirable philosophy. “The music must be kept alive, must be preserved,” Kahn said of his advocacy, which lauds the likes of Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Cole Porter. “The veterans of the scene have to carry on and get these tunes in people’s ears.” In advancing the time-tested catalogue, the tireless artist has loved acquiring and divulging details on the songs’ composition, practices that reflect the curiosity that has helped to comprise his note-centric identity. With regular Philadelphia appearances, including Jacobs-based ones, and stops in other states, he finds himself generating and exuding intense energy and excitement, never succumbing to hubris. “I’m blessed to have had so many opportunities,” Kahn said. “I’m working on a book, but I’m not sure when it will be done because I can’t stop reflecting on what’s gone on in my life, and I definitely don’t want to stop thinking about what’s to come.” THE INVIGORATED INDIVIDUAL began gathering great material for his tome at just 7

months old by tinkering with the instrument that has come to define him. Eventually picking out pieces at his paternal grandmother’s prompt, he gave off the confident disposition of a prodigy, never gravitating toward formal training and always trusting his skill set as he marched through childhood and adolescence. With a bit of theater experience behind him, he believed acting would propel his ambition, yet music interceded and provided the figurative and subsequently literal crescendo he had yearned to sample. “The allure proved too great for me to refuse,” Kahn said of the art form also responsible for interrupting and ending his college days. Having played with Klauber since their teen years, he came to craft the trio, which has taken on numerous names in its history, in 1971, the year following the formation of the Queen Village Recording Studio on Fourth and Catharine streets. “I can’t underscore the importance of that location in expanding my knowledge of the music world,” Kahn said of the now-defunct space he and brother Walter helmed. “We really felt so much a part of the evolving sense of putting out great products. That’s unforgettable.” The music mavens welcomed industry

heavyweights such as Stevie Wonder, who recorded some of his Grammy Awardwinning “Innervisions” album in ’73, and The Dixie Hummingbirds, whose ’74 rendition of Paul Simon’s “Loves Me Like a Rock” yielded a Grammy production nomination for the siblings. Having tasted fame through these figures, Kahn feasted on regard in ’78 when Karen Young took his piece “Hot Shot” to the top spot on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart two weeks after his 26th birthday. “I appreciated the power of Karen’s voice and certainly loved the reception,” he said of writing, arranging and producing the ode to battling boredom and basking in its popularity, which has proven lasting in European markets and through placement in Billboard’s Disco Hall of Fame. “I see that as another sign of how fortunate I’ve been to fraternize with great people.” Citing a well-organized crusade to eliminate disco, Kahn eventually elected to take a decisive break from his passion, channeling his vibrant energy with life partner Bruce H. Cahan as the overseers of Southwark Decorating, an offshoot of the Southwark Paint Co. his father Abraham opened in ’18 at Fourth and Christian streets before situating it at Fourth and Catharine streets.

business, Kahn has been the subject of an HGTV feature and has attracted patrons such as The City of Philadelphia and The Philadelphia Navy Yard, 4747 S. Broad St. With one form of inspiration yielding satisfaction, he felt compelled to reacquaint himself with his premier muse. “It feels so good to be back playing,” Kahn said of enjoying another round of renown. “I’m so compelled to expand my personal joy and to give everyone a stellar experience.” Along with providing lasting memories, he is enjoying making his share, finding himself especially thrilled to work with standout vocalist Peggy King, who last week joined the trio at Square on Square and played with the gentlemen Sunday at The Philadelphia Ethical Society. With a headlining trip to New York City’s 54 Below scheduled for later this month, he gives off as much glee as he did when a burgeoning player. “I feel healthy, strong and full of life,” Kahn said. “I’ve earned every one of these platinum hairs. It’s been a great ride.” SPR

South Philly Wedding Traditions

as building inspectors, tapping on walls and inspecting the plumbing. Before leaving, it was traditional that visitors tossed money on the bed (or as one of the uncles described it-- “the work bench”) in the fervent hope that you would appreciate that sex could only be enjoyed if it proved fertile. Tradition at that time also required couples to hire a photographer to take photos of the wedding ceremony and reception. You paid through the nose for the wedding photos, and 50 years later the albums gathered dust in an area of the home that no one ever visits except by accident. Today the wedding photo album has been expanded to include 3-D movies with sound by Bose and an appearance on YouTube of the riotous reception that often includes either an all-out brawl or the entire bridal party doing a musical number from “Rent.” What we considered an elaborate reception would seem cheap and uneventful today. Although we did have a hotel reception, it was pretty tame by today’s standards. Relatives and friends tapped their coffee cups with spoons to signal that they wanted the couple to kiss. Only the best man got to make a toast. Usually he merely wished the couple luck and unlike today refrained from doing a stand-up routine that included a graphic description of what went on at the bachelor party. Incredibly, back then, except for an uncle or two, no one got remotely tipsy. The bridal party actually kept its shoes on the entire night, and the music was live, not some DJ entertaining himself playing records that sounded like a roar from a supersonic jet. The couple’s song was likely to be something sappy and romantic, not “Do What U Want” (unfortunately, we were never expected to do what we wanted, even after marriage). The honeymoon meant the Poconos (although we used our wedding money to go to Bermuda), not a two-week cruise to the South Pacific. The tradition was you tried not to let your male friends or uncles know where you were honeymooning for fear they might ring your room phone all night long. What ribald sports they were. Back when we were married, one needed a birth certificate to travel to Bermuda. I discovered late that night that I had grabbed a greeting card instead of my birth certificate and, red-faced, had to call my father to drop off the needed document the next morning before we left. You dressed differently when you boarded a plane back then, especially when you were embarking on your honeymoon. The new bride wore a corsage and wondered whether she looked different now that she had made love for the first time. The groom wore a suit, tie and a boutonniere in his lapel. Both bride and groom wondered if anyone on the plane knew they were honeymooners. Ya think? SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Russell Baze (Christian Bale) returns from prison to learn that Lena Warren (Zoe Saldana), his pre-incarceration mate, has found new love.

Fiery focus ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

cott Cooper directed 2009’s “Crazy Heart,” his debut feature; however, you wouldn’t know it given that the film became little more than a star vehicle for Jeff Bridges, who eventually won a Best Actor Oscar for playing a washed-up musician. If “Crazy Heart” was Bridges’ showcase, “Out of the Furnace,” Cooper’s gritty and haunting follow-up, is the movie that truly shows off its maker’s chops and personality. Starring Christian Bale and Casey Affleck as Rust Belt-dwelling brothers Russell and Rodney Baze, it’s a star-studded, yet stripped-down, tale of blood ties and twisted justice. Rodney, a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Russell, an ex-con thanks to an unfortunate incident depicted in act one, are both failed by a system that can’t offer them favorable lifestyles, particularly in the desolate place they call home (though obliquely acknowledged, Braddock, Pa. serves as the setting). While Russell is able to settle for the steel-mill grind endured by his ailing father, Rodney won’t have it, preferring instead to get quick cash in brutal underground fights arranged by crime boss John Petty (Willem Dafoe). Instead of relying on typical economic commentaries and familiar gangster-tinged plot lines, Cooper and co-writer Brad Ingelsby weave a surprisingly sparing brother’s-keeper yarn, whose nuances and character interplays rarely fail to achieve maximum impact. The ways in which Cooper lets visual details trickle out shows as much shrewd restraint as his unhurried reveals of major players, like a cop portrayed by Forest Whitaker and a backwoods badass embodied by Woody Harrelson.

Did these brothers make their beds, or are they strapped to them? “Out of the Furnace” allows the viewer to wrestle with that question, just as it lets the blurred lines of justice go un-judged, resulting in a primal experience enhanced by a gripping visual palette. Some cross-cutting segments prove far too on-the-nose (particularly one that pairs Rodney’s fighting with Russell’s deer-hunting), but the aesthetic is as unforgivably rough as the movie, as if the celluloid were dragged through the harsh soil of the Rust Belt itself.

In one of the best films of 2013, Steve Oram and Alice Lowe play Chris and Tina, two sweethearts whose tour of the British Isles in a caravan gradually morphs into what might be the cinema’s weirdest riff on “Bonnie and Clyde.” Executive producer Edgar Wright’s comic nihilism is ever-present here, but director Ben Wheatley brings something more, notably a commentary on a nation’s history and class system, and a throng of gorgeous compositions that juxtaposes nasty violence.

t is almost 50 years ago that I wrote in these pages about the agony of the traditional Italian wedding and the rituals leading up to it. I use the word “agony” without any reservation whatsoever. How else to describe, for instance, a tradition at the time called “showing the rooms”? I figured it’s time to revisit weddings. Many of you are too young to remember some of the old traditions, so let me enlighten you. Fifty years ago, the modern custom of living together prior to marriage was described as “shacking up.” Respectable couples didn’t shack up. We didn’t think of the marital state as one akin to test driving an automobile before buying. Unimaginable as it might be, most couples waited to get married before they moved in together. Unless you were well-heeled, moving in together meant renting an apartment, not purchasing a home. If you were raised in the city, the idea of a suburban home with a two-car garage and a backyard with grass was the American dream we postponed off into the future when we hoped we could afford such amenities. The thought of such a home equipped with an outdoor swimming pool and a rec room with a pool table and bar was something reserved for Hollywood stars. According to the tradition of showing the rooms, during the period leading up to the church wedding (yes, it was traditional to marry in church and not on some exotic island- that was reserved for the honeymoon, as was actual (weep, weep,) sexual intercourse), South Philadelphia Italian couples invited relatives to visit their newly furnished apartment. In our case, my parents actually purchased a painting without our knowledge and hung it on the living room wall because no wall should be bare, my mother felt. Needless to say, the painting was much closer to a velvet Elvis than a van Gogh, and years later we gave it to my sister. As our relatives trooped up to our apartment to see the rooms, my mother stood at the top of the stairs to explain why our living room was without an end table and lamp as if she were defending the family honor. Delivery of the accoutrements had been unforeseeably delayed. What did seeing the rooms involve? For the aunts, it was a chance to review the prospective bride’s taste in interior decorating. For the uncles, it was a chance to act

Silk City Diner ■ By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

everal years ago, I received a book called “Save the Deli.” The focus was on the dwindling number of authentic delis in the country, which made me long for the days when real Jewish delis dotted the American culinary landscape. I think someone should write a book called “Save the Diner.” Top-rate comforting diner foods count among my favorites but, alas, many cosmopolitan diners have fallen by the wayside. The menus are too large, and some of the dishes they serve are prepared with frozen so-so ingredients. I have good news to report. Silk City Diner, located on Spring Garden Street, has renewed my faith in diner fare. I have not been to Silk City in a number of years, and I heard it serves a first-rate brunch. There was a line of people waiting for a table or counter seat on a cold Sunday morning. Edward and I slid onto comfortable stools at the long Formica counter and immediately warmed up with mugs of rich strong La Colombe coffee ($2.50). Silk City looks like the diners of yore. It is red and silver on the sleek outside yet has a friendly funkiness inside, and the counter also serves as a bar. Booths run along the windows facing Spring Garden Street, and there is a television if anyone wants to watch the Eagles win. One might think it is easy to make pancakes and omelettes, but it is not. Many diners present patrons with sweet maltlike flavored pancakes or a flat egg dish doubling as an omelette. It is sometimes dry, brown and a little rubbery. Coffee/Café/Sweets Caffe Chicco: 2532 S.

Edward ordered Silk pancakes ($9), and I was curious to see if Silk City could rustle up a perfect cheddar cheese omelette. It was obvious from the first bite that the chefs who make griddle cakes prepare the batter in house and know when to flip them. As soon as bubbles form around the edges and they appear a bit golden, they are flipped over and served. Edward received three large pancakes that were made special by adding strips of smoky bacon to the batter. They were light and fluffy, and thank goodness Silk City offers real maple syrup! No Log Cabin or Mrs. Butterworth’s in sight. Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch creation. When it is bad, boy, is it bad. It tastes like bland mush. The scrapple here ($4) is nicely seasoned and seared just right. I ordered a cheddar cheese omelette with grits instead of roasted potatoes. It was plump and golden-filled with first-rate white cheddar cheese that oozed when I took a bite. Nobody serves flat, brown, rubbery omelettes at Silk City. Grits take me back to Southern cafes and diners that I have visited. Silk City uses Anson Mills grits milled in the South. They are stone-ground and absolutely heavenly when they arrive piping hot. I topped them with butter and a little salt and pepper and immediately felt if an award were given for grits, Silk City would win hands down. Texture is important; they were smooth and creamy. Seeded marble rye toast was a treat. I’m pretty sure it came from a local bakery and not from a plastic sleeve. A number of years ago, I enjoyed breakfast at a family-owned diner in western Restaurant Review:

Pennsylvania. The family made its own sausage patties. Silk City does not make its own sausage patties. It serves Fiorella’s. Any diner that offers me sausages from Fiorella Brothers Sausage, which has been in the Italian Market for more than 100 years, has earned a new fan. It was crisp, well-seasoned and hit the spot. It makes me smile when a restaurant supports local merchants. Service was first-rate even though the place was packed. The Sunday brunch menu features lunch options as well.

Sidecar’s Green Bean Casserole Quiche

ith the next four weeks bound to bolster stress levels as people prepare for Christmas and New Year’s Day, good food must

serve as a calming component of the holiday hoopla. For the last two often chaotic late autumn, early winter cycles, Brian Lofink has sated patrons at The Sidecar Bar & Grille, 2201 Christian St., with his Green Bean Casserole Quiche, a reflection of the Narberth resident’s enthusiasm for providing vibrant victuals. “A quiche can be pretty pedestrian, so I’ve offered this one as a way to show my creativity yet definitely not to the extent that I think anyone is going to find it too fancy,” the South-of-South site’s 32-year-old executive chef said. “I’ve definitely aimed to give diners a quality selection, especially with the holiday season upon us.” Regardless of the calendar, Lofink has promoted ingenuity over his culinary career, the last four years of which he has spent aiding owner Adam Ritter at Sidecar. He also assists the proprietor as the executive chef at the Fishtown-situated Kraftwork and as co-chef at Kermit’s

Bake Shoppe, 2204 Washington Ave. Along his journey, which includes time at two Center City spots, Lofink has loved connecting with communities, focusing on forging menus that will make residents frequent his sites and expand their palate. “They want items they can connect with and relate to, stuff that can draw them back again and again,” the Drexel Universityeducated cook said. Having begun to offer the green bean casserole quiche as a brunch option last week, Lofink will continue to whip it up through the holiday season as a complement to Sidecar’s meat and vegetarian quiches. “It’s a fun dish,” he said. “I’m enthusiastic to have people try it.”

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the green bean casserole evenly throughout the shell. Blend the quiche batter with a hand blender or table-top blender. Pour 3/4 of the batter over top of the quiche filling. Place quiche in oven, and pour the rest of the bat-

Once set, remove quiche from 2-inch quiche pan. With a serrated knife, slice into eight equal portions. Reheat for 10 minutes in a preheated oven set at 350 degrees.

Queen of the Quakers A West Passyunk dweller’s stellar year yielded soccer glory for her high school squad. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

Jlon Flippens has perfected her championship smile. Staff Photo by Kathryn Poole and Photo Provided by Mark Casasanto

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php ACCUSTOMED TO COMING out on top courtesy of her Monarchs stint, which included a four-year unbeaten streak, Jlon last year began to sense similar results would come to her as a secondary school pupil when the Quakers finished third in the Inter-Ac and advanced to the state final, where she collected both scores in a 3-2 defeat to The Hill School. Already a heavily analyzed and respected athlete for having joined the varsity team as an elementary learner, she welcomed the opportunity to flummox goalies, kicking off this season with a hat trick in Aug. 30’s 6-0 home victory over Pennington. “Certain parts of my game stand out, and I train hard, but I could never have expected to get as many goals as I did,” Jlon said. “I think I’m most proud of the ones against Agnes Irwin.” Facing their fellow Inter-Ac members for the third time Nov. 16, the Quakers, having avenged their 3-2 Oct. 8 loss to the Owls Ow with a 6-0 throttling Oct. 29, during which Jlon regis registered another three-goal game, blanked their foes 4-0 at Philadelphia University, with their standout scoring twice. Along with tallying lofty statistics, she has amassed ample accolades from opponents and punam dits, d the latter including Top Drawer Soccer, which ranks r her as Pennsylvania’s top sophomore and the nation’s n 11th best, and U.S. Soccer, for which she is a U-15 development program participant. “To make it in this game, especially if I want to play p professionally, which I would love to do if I have h the chance, I have to train right and balance games g and recovery periods right,” Jlon said. “It’s about ab knowing how to pace myself.” H awareness of gradual gratification has helped Her her to manage college suitors, too. A sought-after prese presence since she first donned a varsity uniform, co she considers amazing that at such a young age she has drawn so s much interest and has vowed not to rush her selection selection, which will come from a pool featuring the universities of Maryland, Michigan and Southern California Stanford University. Until the Quakers resume their and Stan slate nex next year, Jlon will enhance her scoring touch and defensive defensi diligence for the Continental Football Club, which whic has helped to oversee her maturation since she moved mov on from the Monarchs three years ago. “It’s important for me, in addition to being taught, “ to be an inspiration for others,” the teenager, whose outreach includes having given pointers to Stewart’s ou charges, said. “Many people have believed in me, ch and I like paying them back.” Eight years removed from her first soccer experiE ence, which she and mother Tisha Williams saw, at best, as a supplement to her basketball infatuation, the ex-Monarch has achieved regal status among her contemex-Mon poraries but shuns the hype. “I’m sstill humble,” she said. “There’s too much for me to learn to be any other way.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 12 124.

hen commenting on a particularly impressive play for ESPN’s SportsCenter, Dan Patrick often lauded its doer by opining “You can’t stop him; you can only hope to contain him.” If he could see Jlon Flippens in action, the sportscaster would not only have to make a pronoun correction but also likely ditch the second sentiment. Thanks to a blend of great anticipation, size and speed, the 15-year-old has become a soccer dynamo, with her 52-goal season helping Penn Charter School to capture two elite titles. “I knew this was our year to step up, but I’m still kind of stunned over how well we did,” the sophomore star said last week from her home on the 2200 block of South m really surprised about how many times 24th Street. “I’m I scored, too.” ed a more defensive assignment last Having handled d season on the varsity unit, Jlon year, her second dapted to playing forward this immediately adapted ting the Quakers’ march to a 21campaign, assisting 2-1 mark. Whilee she certainly enjoyed booting ery contest, she proved espeballs during every cially enthused in her squad’s final four affairs, producing seven goals to bring the team its first Inter-Ac Leaguee championship Nov. 9 and the dependent Schools Tournament Pennsylvania Independent crown Nov. 16. “There were so many great moments along the way,” Jlon said of gaining top dog status among intense rivals. “Alll the preparation leading up to our games was stressful at times, but our success makes itt all worth it.” Her musings on collective accomplishments signify continow the youth ued growth in how reciate sochas come to appreciate ng out the cer. Initially trying sport to expend excess energy, she camee to h fall in love with competing for the Anderson Monarchs, now Soccer Sisters United, Inc., under the tutelage of coach Walt Stewart. A self-confessed ball hog in her early days at nd, 24th and Jackson streets, Smith Playground, Jlon engrossed herself in studying strategies and learning the dynamics of unified pursuits of renown. Over a nearly five-year tenure with the club, whichh Stewart has since situated n, she reveled in numerous in Germantown,

championships celebrations, with her talent and maturity prompting the coach to suggest attending Penn Charter. “I’ve definitely become unselfish and have been able to build my character,” she said of the influence of the East Falls institution she has ventured to since sixth grade. “I’m all about looking to be more consistent and improve all areas of my game.” Deeming once again being a victor “very refreshing,” Jlon knows that going from the role of the hunter to that of the hunted will present another set of challenges but also realizes she must never diminish her esteem for soccer’s recreational qualities. “Of course it’s been great to win,” she said. “However, I also love making friends and learning from my coaches.”

PRAYER prayer to St. JoSeph

(over 1900 years old) Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt, before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, so that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach w hile he reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me. Amen. With Ecclesiastical Approval, Say for nine days for anything you may desire. It has never been known to fail. This prayer was found in the fifthieth year of our Lord Jesus Christ...Make it known everywhere!

Thank You Blessed Mother for favors received. Gloria
