n goes a loaf of bread, a bag of stuffing, a 15- to 18-pound turkey, a can of jellied cranberry sauce, a pair of oranges, a bottle of Pepsi, a can of collard greens and an apple pie. In two shifts at the Shoprite on Oregon Ave., 2301 Oregon Ave., more than 100 volunteers came out early Saturday morning to man a box-packing operation that filled nearly 2,000 boxes with the basic necessities for a Thanksgiving feast. Urban Affairs Coalition (UAC) steered this charitable effort, but, across Philadelphia, folks are pitching in to make

sure families in need don’t endure another holiday season with an alltoo-common decision: pay utilities to stay warm or eat. “Last year, we did 1,100 and we challenged ourselves to raise enough money and get enough volunteers to get to 2,000,� UAC president and CEO Sharmain Matlock-Turner remarked. “What’s special about our turkey program is we work with another 80 community-based organizations who know people in need from their communities. We don’t have people standing in line. Here’s our way of saying thank you and

hopefully inspire them to hang in there during a time when helping neighbors in need is essential.� Volunteers from the Philadelphia Police and Fire departments were present, as was a large contingent of parishioners from the Salem Baptist Church of Jenkintown. Even if and when a non-profit like UAC gets all the goods needed for 2,000 dinners, by way of donation or purchase, it still relies on the good nature of holiday giving with free labor that results in stacks of wrapped 25-pound boxes that need to be refrigerated until given away.

“We get them on these cold, refrigerated trucks,� Matlock-Turner said, where they stayed until distribution occurred Monday morning at a Shoprite in West Parkside. The frozen turkeys, which weighed in heavier than in years past, surpassing the average 11- to 14-pound mark, thaw “healthy and slowly,� according to the CEO. Many illustrious guests were present on Monday to hand out these care packages: state senators Vincent Hughes and Anthony Williams; state representatives Dwight Evans, Jordan HarASS B6/<9A ^OUS ,,

/\ O^^`SQWObWdS W\WbWObWdS To our Readers: Happy Thanksgiving, residents of South Philly! Though I have written hundreds of items for this publication during my fiveand-a-half-year affiliation with it, most of you are complete strangers to me, but that is of no concern to yours truly with regards to rooting for your success. I have picked up some of the most potent and poignant lessons of my life this year, with a copious supply of smiles looking to tear away the sway that tears have tried to acquire. Along my journey, I have grown more

appreciative of you, fellow South Philadelphians. As a lifelong storyteller, I have often looked at people and tried to construct narratives on who they are and what their lives involve. Granted, that kept my imagination from ever growing dormant, but I have become a tad tired of doing it and have found a variation on my activities that I think has yielded a kinship with all of you. I now look at people and simply think “Thank you� and “May your dreams come true� because I know you are doing your best to provide for yourself and your families, and in do-

ing so, you have made me thankful to share this great part of our city with you. May God bless you and yours. 8]aS^V ;gS`a A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO @SdWSe 3RWb]`

To the Editor: I oppose President Barack Obama’s plan to import and re-settle 10,000 Syrian refugees at American taxpayers’ expense. But hey, I’m a libertarian. It’s hard to find a government program I do support. On the other hand, as the old saying goes, “you break it, you buy it.� Sort of, anyway. The warmongering politicians (of both parties -- yes, I’m looking at you, Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion B y Ti n a G a r c e a u Mrs. Clinton) do the breaking and stick us with the check, then we spend money cleaning up after them too. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria ... make no mistake about it, the “refugee crisis� is THEIR mess. And finally, yes, it sticks in my craw to hear those same “bomb ’em all, let God sort ’em out� demagogues turn on a dime and grandstand on an over-hyped danger fantasy over letting a handful of their victims escape the American-made carnage and make a fresh start in America itself. If God is just, there’s a very warm corner of hell for that particular variety of hypocrite. So there are my three complaints: The US role in creating the problem, the hypocrisy among the foremost cheerleaders for creating the problem, and running the additional expense of making very small amends for the problem through those 5=7<5 4C:: 5=00:3( 1SZSP`ObW\U Wba $bV gSO` AV]^@WbS >O`b\S`a W\ 1O`W\U same warmonger tax-and-spenders. dS\bc`SR b] >VWZOPc\RO\QS !$ $ A 5OZZ]eOg Ab <]d & b] VSZ^ bVS TSZZ]e Q`c Enough complaining, Tom -- how about aORS` OUOW\ab Vc\US` Pg R]\ObW\U []`S bVO\ % ^]c\Ra ]T T`]hS\ bc`YSga a solution?

helping 10,000 refugees get to the US, settle in and become productive immigrants. How about $100,000 each, just to be on the safe high side? $100,000 times 10,000 is, let me hit my calculator ... one billion dollars. Call it $3.50 per American citizen. The US Department of Defense spends more than that each day busting up the places these people are fleeing from, so it really wouldn’t be a major budget item, would it? But I still think letting the government handle it is a bad idea. We’re a giving nation. I don’t see any problem with rounding up a billion dollars through our churches and other charitable institutions. That would come to $14 from my family of four. Heck, we’ll go $21. Donald Trump’s and Marco Rubio’s shares are on us, just to deprive them of excuses for more drama queen antics. So how about it? Who else is in?

hanks to input from a witness, law enforcement officials had a fortunate weekend, busting Jason Webb on Friday and Kareem Hampton on Saturday for their supposed involvement in the Oct. 5 incident at Star Mini Market, 1214 Ritner St. On that day, police met with the store owner at 12:49 p.m. and learned four males donning dark hoodies had entered his business aggressively, with the lead figure pointing a black handgun at him and barking “Give me the money,� Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The proprietor added another member of the quartet took the weapon and grabbed and pushed him toward the register, with yet another individual holding the businessman’s hands over the register. The owner claims the second figure took approximately $600 from the holder and stole several boxes of cigarettes before the males ran out of the store, last seen heading southbound on South Camac Street toward Porter Street. Police personnel detained Webb, 34, of the 1300 block of South Corlies Street, on the 1300 block of South 30th Street and Kareem Hampton, 20, of the 2200 block of South Opal Street, at the Ramada Inn Hotel, 2033 Penrose Ave., and charged them with criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, making terroristic threats, robbery, and firearms violations. Webb had not posted his $600,000 bail as press time, and Hampton had not posted his $600,000 total. They await a Jan. 8 status hearing.

/bbOQY []RS The Philadelphia Police Department is hoping to bring to justice the attacker of a man in Lower Moyamensing. On Friday, the entity released surveillance footage of a Sept. 5 incident in which the wanted individual, a member of a group of males who had congregated on South Hutchinson Street and Oregon Avenue, suddenly began to assault the complainant as he walked on Ninth Street and Oregon Avenue. The aggressor and his friends then fled onto the 2600 block of South Hutchinson Street, with authorities arranging a transport to Thomas Jef-

At 2:45 p.m. Nov. 15, authorities located Tyreek Helton on the 2200 block of Mifflin Street with gunshot wounds to his left back and hip. They arranged transport to the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center for the 18-yearold resident of the 1900 block of South 23rd Street, with personnel pronouncing him dead at 3:33 p.m. As of press time, law enforcement officials had no leads or motive in the matter.

5]W\U OTbS` 5WZZWO[ The United States Marshals Service is looking for the public’s input in securing a Grays Ferry man wanted for attempted murder. On Feb. 18, Richard Gilliam, also known as “Na�, “Nasir, and “One Eyed Na,� allegedly shot a man twice in the face on the 1500 block of South Corlies Street. Authorities stated the last known address for the 28-year-old was on the 1300 block of South Taylor Street and that there is a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Individuals should direct information to the US Marshal’s Philadelphia Tip line at 1-866-865-TIPS(8477).

BVS g]c\US` bVSg O`S Police detained four minors for supposedly robbing a delivery man of his automobile and cash in Grays Ferry. Authorities ventured to the 1800 block of South Napa Street at 12:48 a.m. Saturday and met with the driver, learning he had not received an answer when knocking on a provided address, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He stated a female juvenile approached him and pointed a rifle at him. The motorist observed three juvenile males hop into his silver 2005 Cadillac Deville and handed the girl approximately $20 before they fled southbound on Napa Street then westbound toward Vare Avenue. Authorities found the car at 2:11 a.m. in West Philly and reportedly observed the four individuals following a vehicle investigation. They located a rifle and arrested the youths following positive identification, charging them with criminal conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, assault, recklessly endangering another person, robbery, carjacking, theft, and firearms violations.

ing that gift that says all will be well. No product or likewise flawed human can top what God offers as solace. 6) Faith: I am on a religious kick here, but that does not embarrass me or give me pause. I have faith that even the most downtrodden people and the most insane situations will find resolution through divine intervention. Contemplate all the times that you have risen from your misfortune. Your resolve surely has played a part in your rejuvenation, but it will never handle the lead role. 5) Writing enthusiasm: I knew at age eight that I would somehow make writing my creative pursuit, with a story about a student revolt over the absence of mashed potatoes in the school cafeteria being my beckoning force. Twenty-eight years later, I still remember how giddy I felt when adding the final period, and I remain as steadfast in wanting to pen durable examinations of human nature, just without all that excessive salt! 4) Friends: To keep from making this a tabloid publication, I will simply say that the last 15 months of my life have severely tested my resolve. During that time, I have taken immensely advantageous advice from my circle of friends and will owe a huge debt to them when my eventual ascension occurs. 3) Catholic schooling: Aside from kindergarten and graduate school, I spent my whole life as a student in Catholic schools. Those 16 formative years remind me that from conception to death, we all have boundless potential and deserve the utmost respect for our endeavors. 2) My mother: For our Oct. 8 Difference Makers issue, I gave my mother the second spot when relaying the individuals who have had the most impact on my life, so her placement here and my daily thoughts of her remind me that for 30 years and 13 days, she was my most compassionate guide, biggest supporter, and brightest example of the rewards of love. 1) My son: My mom never liked the limelight, so I know she would have no problem letting my son, four-year-old Nicholas Joseph Myers, take the top spot. No matter what transpires in this world, his lilt when uttering “I love you, Daddy� will always inspire a combination of smiles and tears of joy. Thank you for your gentle nature, Nickerdoodle!

approach both the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia and non-profit Partners for Sacred Places applaud. “Churches are an interesting part of the city’s built environment,� Patrick Grossi, the Preservation Alliance’s director of advocacy, said. “They are a marker of demographic change, especially as African Americans came up from the south and immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe� [flooded Philadelphia], he notes. “They’re a marker of the diverse groups of Philadelphians that have come to America and staked a claim to the neighborhood where they settled.� “The parishioners at St. Charles have so much heart, and they love their parish,� Morello said. “I know they would be thrilled if the church got this big honor in history.� DURANG WAS AN extremely prolific designer, fashioning Roman Catholic High School at 301 N. Broad St.; the stunning Church of the Gesu at 18th Street and Girard Avenue; and

the former St. Agatha’s Church at 38th and Spring Garden streets (which merged with St. James at 38th and Chestnut streets). He also designed a church in Fishtown that went through, essentially, exactly what Morello doesn’t want to see happen – St. Laurentius, which merged with a nearby parish due to low attendance numbers, had to scramble for emergency historical designation when it was almost too late. “Laurentius had been deconsecrated and there was fear that it would be sold to a developer and demolished to clear the way for, in all likelihood, residential,� Grossi explained. In an effort to drum up support for the long-term preservation of St. Charles Borromeo, Morello wants as many people as possible to attend the Dec. 2 Historical Commission hearing to offer testimony of the church’s significance to them and their neighborhood. “It will be up for debate on Dec. 2 at City

here’s a South-of-South-situated church that Celeste Morello wants to call attention to so that it might be protected as long as possible. St. Charles Borromeo, 902 S. 20th St., is a church designed by architect Edwin Forrest Durang, one of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s most prolific and employed designers from the latter part of the 19th century. The church, originally built in 1876, isn’t threatened by a specific developer of any kind yet – but, as Morello will have one believe, it’s better to be safe than sorry. “St. Charles is the southernmost church in the Diocese of Philadelphia that has not been deemed historical,� she said. The 33-year resident of South Philly and Norristown native calls Passyunk Square home. But that doesn’t stop her from being greatly interested in the architecture and art of her city. Thus far, she’s gotten 40 historical markers put into work. “[It’s] a lovely church. They have a congregation that’s been dwindling, and I hope that there will be non-Catholics that will take an interest in the church and in helping out to maintain it because there are structural problems and other cosmetic things that need to be addressed,� Morello said. “And I don’t think the congregation can really afford these types of repairs.� A couple churches she mentioned that have received designation are St. Paul’s, 923 Christian St., and St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi, 714 Montrose St. “It makes it official,� she said. “It’s not just anybody saying it’s historical because it’s old. It has an official designation and leaves it open for grant money for restoration based on that designation.� As we’ve seen in other parts of South Philadelphia, churches are prime targets for real estate speculation as parishes merge due to dwindling attendance numbers and under-staffed Diocesan manpower no matter a house of worship’s denominational identity. The First African Baptist Church, 1608 Christian St., and the Episcopalian Church of the Crucifixion, 620 S. Eighth St. currently face peril. The Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic parish, formerly at 232127 Fitzwater St., is a residential Sanctuary Lofts building and a good example of how churches can be protected as neighborhood markers without wholesale demolition, an

Hall and the public is invited,â€? she said. “We do look for a lot of support with these things. I hope other folks from the neighborhood who just like the architecture could contribute and express some interest in keeping the church well-maintained.â€? “Those meetings are open to the public, and anyone can come testify; there’s no requirement to register or sign up,â€? Grossi noted. “It allows the commission and committee to understand what the building means to those people in the neighborhood. Having the voice of the immediate neighbors strengthens or weakens that claim,â€? that it’s a historically-significant property, added the preservationist. Dozens of supporters showed up when St. Laurentius was in peril, Grossi relayed, though half were insistent that it remain a church while the other half just wanted to see smart reuse of a beautiful, historical building. He also said that, when Partners for Sacred Places initiated a survey into “purpose-built churches, buildings built and designed as churches,â€? the count added up to nearly 700. Only around 100 earned historical designation. “Even in the unfortunate case that a parish closes, the hope is that the building could actually be retained as a place of faith or be converted to a different use,â€? Grossi said. This becomes especially important “when parishes or congregations may be dwindling and struggling while development is now present in neighborhoods where it might not have been as recently as five years ago.â€? It’s hard to believe St. Charles Borromeo’s home, in what would normally be deemed Graduate Hospital, is slipping into disrepair or disinterest. Quite the contrary, as evidenced by the church down the street, First African Baptist. Real estate south of South Street is on the up and up. Morello had fun doing her research for the historical designation application, finding that Durang’s inspiration for churches often traced back to medieval France. Grossi says “it’s almost a time capsule – its façade is almost perfectly in tact.â€? Morello hopes the church’s near neighbors agree and that they turn out to say as much in City Hall next week. “I’m hoping for a lot of support from the people in that neighSPR borhood,â€? she concluded.

There are approximately 750,000 who face hunger in our area daily. The need in the Philly area is even higher with about one in four [hungry]. Nationally, it’s more like one in seven.� “TO HELP TACKLE hunger this holiday season, Philadelphia Eagles employees and members of Northern Children’s Services will package 100 Thanksgiving baskets for families in need,� stated a Philadelphia Eagles-issued press release. On Monday, at the NovaCare Complex, 1 NovaCare Way, a ton of Acme-donated goods were boxed up for families in need. “Studies have shown that the poverty rate in Philadelphia is double the rate at both the national and state levels, leaving more than one-third of children in this city hungry on a daily basis,� the release goes on.

“There’s a myth that, very frequently, clients are taking advantage of the system,â€? Arck-Baynes. “People’s misconceptions about who’s hungry are pretty far-fetched.â€? She cites anecdotes for unexpected recipients of aid: a woman who injured herself on the job and needed help while she couldn’t work; an entrepreneur with his own business who stopped paying himself when the economic collapse hit; a mother with a doctorate who visited a Philabundance pantry after losing her job to afford feeding her children. Arck-Baynes notes “people are fighting really hard NOT to need help.â€? And even if we rally around those less fortunate for the last two months of the year, she adds “hunger is a problem 365 days a year.â€? At NovaCare, boxes got stuffed with cans of sweet potatoes, fruit, vegetables and cranberry sauce, boxes of stuffing and instant mashed potatoes, and a 100 $25 Acme gift cards. “Acme is a wonderful partner of ours, and we also do our in-store food drive with them – they are tremendously supportive of that work,â€?

hile an eventual endowment of pleasure can result from an encounter with pain, one must often conclude that fostering acceptance is more likely than reveling in joy once despair desires to devastate. Many individuals will succumb to their sources of sorrow, but Dan Reed

contends that collaboration can not only counter sadness but can also breed maturation and fortitude, a message he will promote Dec. 2 when he and friend Robert Ponce, dubbed The Dirty Cowards, play at L’Etage, 624 S. Sixth St., to back their debut album. “Life is a constant journey, so we’ve written songs that convey that feeling of being lost and wandering and that need to help people when we find them in those states,� the East Passyunk Crossing resident said of “World of Stranger.� “They speak to the perpetual pursuit of selfknowledge and the quest for interaction with others to grow and handle setbacks with determination.� The 35-year-old and his peer will deliver their rebuttal to regret at the Queen Village-based venue nearly two months after releasing the 10-song brainchild. The evening will also feature tunes from The Barrel Fires, who are also celebrating rookie status as album issuers and who enlist Reed’s brother-in-law, Josh Meyer, as their bassist. “Its definitely very cool to have a joint release show,� Reed, who handles lead vocals and occasional harmonica duties for his alt-country duo, said of the upcoming celebration. “There’s a difference between what we do and what they’re going for as rockers, but our similarity in striving to make great > = @ B @ / 7 B > 6 = B = 0 G B 7 < / 5 / @ 1 3 / C

B?<;IJOB;I music is much more significant.� The musician has always relished opportunities to mesh individual insights to form group gains and when Ponce was experiencing personal turmoil, Reed knew their 12 years of making music and writing songs together could yield cuts that could cut through distress and engender resolve. Through a release to announce their performance, he classifies their disc as “a mix of deeply personal narratives and rowdy foot-stompers� that “sums up a long, emotional journey filled with broken relationships, wandering travels and a few diversions into mythology.� Abounding in thematic maturity and crisp musicianship, the work, which the buddies recorded at Turtle Studios, 2001 W. Moyamensing Ave., finds the local melody maker continuing to revive his appreciation for music’s therapeutic power and wondering what other revelations might come from trusting his perception and liberally injecting positivity into every situation. “I’m at a great point in my life for many reasons, especially because of my existence with my soulmate,� Reed said of wife Debasri, who is expecting their first child. “I know, though, there can be traces

of sadness in everything. That’s where music steps in to offer solace.� NOTES HAVE NOT been alone in helping the affable individual to acquire his affirmative mindset. Hailing from Cherry Hill, he found himself incredibly impressionable as a youth, with film and writing coming to dominate his creative curiosity. With the first element as his primary pull, he matriculated at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., and eventually became a member of a band. “I’d been involved with music before Bard,� Reed said of having taken piano lessons. “However, I didn’t consider myself a musician until the end of college.� Following graduation, he and Ponce, while traveling in California hoping to secure work, bought country music cassette tapes, with the contents containing a “timeless quality� and the messages of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, “boiled down to their essence,� infatuated Reed. He forged a similar connection with the possibility inherent within combining worldviews and personal experiences to produce art

of durable, even enviable, quality. “Still, though, there was a time when I lost touch with music,� Reed confessed. “I would record but not look to do much with it. When Rob went through a rough patch, I talked with him one night and then went right to writing what has become the title track for this album. There was just something in me that couldn’t stay silent, and he came to feel the same way.� Geography initially factored into their inability to have many thorough faceto-face discussions, as Ponce resides in the Empire State, but even that element fell prey to their insistence on creating, with Reed gladly recalling heading to a New York-based comedy marathon and using all of the time when he was not flashing his burgeoning comedic talent to swap ideas with his contemporary. With enough subsequent exchanges to craft a cohesive body of work, they compiled two handfuls of goodies for their debut and secured time at the aforementioned Packer Park recording location. “We’re thankful to everyone who helped us during the project,� Reed said of the process that gives “World of Strangers�

such resonance. “Now that we have a date for our release show, too, these songs have even more life, and I love that.� He also adores South Philly, particularly his stretch, which he christened “the best neighborhood in which to start a family� and a terrific realm for inspiring his creativity; his opportunities to pursue comedy, which he does through the troupe Bad Kitten; and his Tumblr.combased fiction blog, Suggestion Stories. With his baby due in January, that “constant journey� of which he spoke figures to offer great fodder for penning even more songs with compassion and consideration as their themes. “There’s definitely a whole emotional palate that I’ve not gotten to deal with yet,� Reed said. “When I become a father, other things will take a step back, for sure, but I’ll definitely be more observant and enthused about navigating my place in this world.� SPR Visit thedirtycowards.bandcamp.com.

“mission accomplished� in Iraq. If we want to make a new start on fighting terrorism, one small way would be to refrain from boasting of victory of any sort. A war on ISIS will not end with a truce as conventional engagements have done; there will be no final date appearing in the history books. The chattering heads on cable TV talk of going forth with a strong coalition of united forces, but we have unity problems in our own country. Notice not one Republican candidate uttered those unifying words, “We stand with our President during this time of crisis.� Maybe the destruction of the Russian airliner will push Vladimir Putin of Russia into our corner. Indeed, it may be that the terrorists’ downing of that Russian airliner with 234 people on board will prove to be the aggressors’ biggest mistake. Why bring Russia into the fight against them? There will be those who believe our total withdrawal from the Middle East is the answer. If isolationism were ever the answer, Nov. 13’s terrorist attacks prove it is too late. We can hope with smarter politicians and smarter policies that we can stop the spread of radical Islamic terrorism from spreading, but at the same time we have to recognize the fact that the threat to our way of life is real and we must defeat that threat. By the way, why can none of the Democratic candidates for President get themselves to utter the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism?� To fight terrorism effectively, we must be able to distinguish friend from foe. A personal anecdote is in order here: My ItalianAmerican father was a welder at the Philadelphia Navy Yard during World War II (He later was drafted by the Navy toward the end of the war). Dad considered himself a loyal American - a very loyal American. As a kid, I remember him telling me stories that he felt he was being watched while he welded ships. He couldn’t believe that because we were at war with Italy and Benito Mussolini, his patriotism was being impugned. Certainly, we must be watchful, but we must also be careful that we don’t repeat some of the sad episodes in our history. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s herding of innocent JapaneseAmericans into concentration type camps is a warning for today. Donald Trump should stop trying to win the nomination by making irresponsible statements about immigrants. All of us should remind ourselves that our innocent Muslim-Americans should not be harassed. We must be ruthless, yes, but we must also be compassionate. We have entered a defining moment in the war on terrorism, maybe even the war to save our very civilization. Two weeks ago on the outskirts of Paris, the candle of western civilization flickered. We are now the guardians who must ensure that the flame in that candle never goes out. SPR

omewhere deep within us, we always thought our civilization would be the one that lasts. Unlike the fall of the Roman Empire, we would be the ones that would avoid our own Dark Ages. When the ISIS terrorists struck Paris Nov. 13, we should have finally awakened to an ugly truth - the attack on Paris, like no other since 9/11, tells us that we will have to fight and sacrifice so our future generations are not cast into the deep, dark shadows of barbarism. The comforting myth that ISIS is just a relatively small band of terrorists “with 1979 Chevviesâ€? has been destroyed. The well-coordinated simultaneous six attacks on Friday the 13th showed the myth to be foolish (incredibly the myth was still being repeated as truth by Bill Maher on his HBO show “Real Timeâ€? hours after the attacks had occurred). Their strategy has changed. ISIS awakened to the reality that multiple, smaller terrorist strikes are much more effective than the Osama bin Laden strategy that resulted in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. To bring down the tower, bin Laden planned for about 10 years. Smaller terrorist strikes are more effective because the terror they produce is more frequent and disrupts daily life, the strikes are more difficult to detect, and the smaller scale cuts costs. What occurred two weeks ago in the outskirts of Paris is but a forerunner of strikes in foreign capitals and cultural centers around the world. Security experts tells us we can stop many terrorist strikes, but not all of them. The economic impact on tourism alone will be nightmarish for cash-strapped Europe. Not too many of us are dreaming of April in Paris right about now. Democracies are not good at this terrible game. Fighting terrorism involves a certain amount of nuance and fierceness. French President François Hollande says the French will be “ruthless.â€? He declares a war on the State of Islam that is not really a conventional state. What do those words mean? Terrorism can beget demagogues in democracies. Just ask Israel. Words matter. The morning before the terrorist attacks, President Obama had told ABC’s George Stephanoupolos we had “containedâ€? ISIS. The President based that assessment on the Kurds retaking Sinjar in Iraq from ISIS with the help of American air power. The terrorist attacks on Paris one day later made Obama’s words seem foolish. The episode is reminiscent of former PresiComment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ dent George W. Bush prematurely declaring cardella.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2� is finally in theaters, but there are plenty of other movie archers besides Katniss Everdeen. Here are five such skilled deadeyes. Legolas in “The Lord of the Rings� and “The Hobbit� trilogies: Played with ageless grace by Orlando Bloom, Legolas, the aloof, yet reliable, blonde elf who suffers no fools, always nails his target by using his cat-like instincts. Wielding an elvish bow and a seemingly endless supply of arrows, the agile archer’s highlights include “surfing� down a staircase while offing foes in “The Two Towers,� and single-handedly killing an entire elephant in “The Return of the King.� Robin of Locksley in “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves�: He didn’t play British, but Kevin Costner still made for a knockout Robin Hood in this contemporary ’90s classic, which saw the A-Lister shoot burning arrows at the minions of his archenemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman), and use one arrow to split another cleanly during target practice. Extra points to director Kevin Reynolds for creating the illusion of the camera following the arrow’s path. Princess Merida in “Brave�: Released after what many considered to be Pixar’s golden age, “Brave� was largely overlooked or frowned upon by many, but rarely do we see a female hero so cel-

ebrated in animated film. Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) doesn’t want to be betrothed to a prince; she wants to define herself with her own pursuits, including the male-dominated sport of archery. The skill is a metaphor for Merida’s adolescent arc, which, complete with a strong maternal bond, proves to be on point eventually. Masked Invader in “You’re Next�: Military-trained assailants sporting creepy animal masks shouldn’t exactly be celebrated, but the relative ingenuity of arming one with a deadly crossbow is one of the many novel choices of the horror gem “You’re Next.� In this genre, folks often think they’re safe if they stay indoors, but that doesn’t matter when one baddie can fire arrows through windows, offing at least two victims in the process. Robin Hood in “The Adventures of Robin Hood�: Perhaps the quintessential Robin Hood flick, this Technicolor classic starring Errol Flynn as the titular swashbuckler still thrills with its epic swordfights and flying arrows. Alongside legendary costars like Olivia de Havilland and Claude Rains, Flynn embodied the boyish heroism that came to define Robin, his grin a trademark of the dashing outlaw.

fter you have finished your Thanksgiving leftovers, prepare yourself for the winter season with a spicy Spanish stew that is perfect for helping you to withstand winds and wicked weather. This offering from Melissa Rivera, of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street, serves four to six and is a great appetizer or side dish for any Spanish-themed dinner. Although the recipe calls for beef as its primary protein source, chicken or pork will be just as good. SPR

he results of my highly unscientific survey have led me to believe that Sunday brunch is the most popular dining out meal. There are two ways to avoid the long lines for a table: arrive early or later in the afternoon. We arrived at Plenty, the newly-renovated casual restaurant at 1710 E. Passyunk Ave. at 1:45 p.m. Although all the tables were taken, there were seats available at the long marble-topped bar. Plenty, which has a location in Center City and another to be open soon in Queen Village, reminds me of the successful Tria chain. Plenty has become successful as well. The concept of offering freshly-prepared simple dishes based on ingredients found around the world has caught on with South Philly residents and others who drive over to the bustling avenue. If there is an award for the most friendly bartender (without going over the top), it is the gentleman who took fine care of us. A not-too-spicy Bloody Mary ($9) is a good way to begin brunch. The menu features snacks, egg dishes, sandwiches, salads and desserts. I offer a suggestion: add soup to the menu now that the colder months are upon us. Salads are most generous. The Provence ($9.75) contains a number of ingredients one would find in the South of France. A large mound of fresh mixed greens and baby spinach leaves served as the base for artichoke hearts, capers, sweet roasted red peppers, anise-flavored fennel and a touch of slightly salty Pecorino tossed in a lemon honey vinaigrette that was not too sweet. Our server provided us with salt and pepper mills without asking, which is a nice touch. The Tel Aviv salad ($10.50) was a surprise. Most Israeli salads are chopped and are composed of a few ingredients. My plate contained a generous portion of mixed greens and baby spinach tossed with arugula, thin matchstick slices of cool cucumber, pickled radishes, a shower of toasted pistachio nuts, crisp, crunchy croutons prepared with zaíatar and farro, a healthy ancient grain that is quite bland and needed the scrumptious orange-cumin vinaigrette that made the salad so tasty. Za’atar is an Israeli blend of finely ground dry herbs and spices that adds pep to a number of ingredients. We also sampled the Barcelona sandwich ($12) and Genovese pesto chicken ($10). The former consisted of a slice of Serrano ham, spicy chorizo, Mahon cheese, juicy ripe tomato and arugula tucked into a baguette coated with a downright delicious roasted red pepper aioli. The sandwich speaks of Spain, but I

thought the portions of meat and cheese were a bit too meager in comparison with the generous first-course salads. The flavors, however, tempted my taste buds. From Spain, we traveled to Christopher Columbus’s hometown of Genoa, where pesto was created. Roasted chicken, pesto, roasted red peppers, Pecorino and a bit of salad greens were served on the same baguette as the Barcelona. The bread comes from High Street, Ellen Yin and Eli Kulp’s award-winning restaurant/ retail market in Old City. There is a complete list of coffees and teas, but I must admit Plenty’s regular mug of Joe ($1.85) was rich, strong and filled the bill nicely. We also sampled a draft of Counter Culture ($5) simply because Plenty’s beer list was carefully planned. I brought home an almond croissant ($3.60) and a blueberry muffin ($3) simply because the baked goods looked so enticing. I enjoyed the croissant at midnight with a cup of tea, and the muffin was the next morning’s breakfast. Plenty has a fully stocked bar that was part of the renovation-re-opening plan. I also like the allday, all-night menu, although a number of items are offered only after 4 p.m. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would eat at Plenty at least once a week. If the owners opened an outpost on the Main Line, there would be long lines of hungry patrons waiting to get in. Three and a half tips of the toque to Plenty. SPR

eing 52 years old, Louis Sarcone has lived long enough to have numerous adjectives applied to his personality, and if one were to engage him in a conversation about the most fitting modifier, he would reply with “loyal.� He has called upon his resolute demeanor for more than four decades to assist Sarcone’s Bakery, 758 S. Ninth St., his family’s fivegeneration-strong 9th Street Italian Market business. “I’m definitely comfortable with the avenue that I chose,� the proprietor said from the 97-year-old store that he has aided on a full-time basis since his high school graduation. “Whenever people operate an establishment, they’re definitely looking to make money, but it’s not always about the dollar; it has to be about your customers’ satisfaction, and there are no shortcuts to gaining respect.� The New Jersey dweller and his descendants, including his fifth-generation son, have become baking behemoths among patrons of their Bella Vista location, with Sarcone priding himself and his hires on knowing the value of noticing generational shifts and preferences. “Time obviously passes so you have to make constant changes,� he said of differing texture desires among older customers and younger buyers. “You have to listen to them and appreciate their interests, or you’re toast.� Sarcone has fraternized with locals for at least 44 years and treasures his identity as a sater of their hunger and as an ally to restaurants and sandwich shops. Hawking an average of 2,000 loaves a day, he knows that the demand for his supply could easily breed hubris, but he refrains from indulging in self-aggrandizement, dubbing himself “a blue-collar worker� and “a citizen who goes to work each day like everyone

else.� On account of that mentality, he and his colleagues received a September visit from The Travel Network, who replicated local news anchor Alicia Vitarelli’s interest in profiling their tomato pie, which teams with other pizza selections and the bread and roll offerings to make Sarcone’s a captivating draw for carbohydrate cravers. “I live within my means, and I live by the creed of never putting more food in my mouth than I can chew from a business standpoint,� the compact quarters’ overseer said. “People often look at bread as insignificant, but try telling that to anyone around here. South Philly people know its worth.� SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

since her freshman year. Having earned second-team All-Olympic Conference kudos during that inaugural campaign, she has grown more confident as a leader and a scorer, with two team most valuable players designations and the same number of first-team conference commendations as evidence of her 6-foot-2 frame’s athleticism and guile. “Everybody knows how competitive basketball is in Philadelphia,� Alexis said. “It’s easy to think the game isn’t as valued in New Jersey, but the action is pretty intense. I’m glad that I’ve been able to grow in such a great system because I think that’s just going to make me more eager when I go to college.� BELONGING TO AN incredibly gifted athletic family, the adolescent has consistently courted the best means to excel and commenced that quest in earnest as an eightyear-old travel ball participant. Numerous

trips gave her exposure to different styles of play and helped her to appreciate her local efforts at St. Richard of Chichester School, now St. Pio Catholic Regional School, 1826 Pollock St. “I always loved going against really good teams and players,� Alexis said of her stint as a roster member for the Marconi-based parochial facility, which she helped to become a behemoth in Region 6 play. “I began to take the game more seriously when I was in eighth grade, and I became so committed to getting better in every facet.� With sister Tisha enrolled at Eustace, she likewise left the confines of South Philly to become a Crusader and has thrived as a learner and a player. The coveted chance to grow as both is what prompted her matriculation, and Alexis gladly spoke of her estimation of the Garden State site. “I love it there,� she beamed. “It’s given

me so many opportunities athletically and academically, so I owe everyone there my gratitude.� With respect to her sporting pursuits, Alexis began to secure interest from colleges even before she set foot in Eustace as a pupil. Perpetually poised to put in whatever effort is necessary to emerge victorious, she won the admiration of Loyola, Mount St. Mary’s and Saint Peter’s universities and Wagner College and ended the suspense in the summer by picking the Northampton County-based Leopards. “There’s so much that goes into picking a school, and something just kept on leading me to Lafayette,� the southpaw said. “Coach Grentz is going to be a big part of that, but I know that nothing changes for me; my leadership ability has to be centered on making Eustace a solid team this year.� Having averaged 13 points per duel last campaign, Alexis, 307 points shy of reaching 1,000 career scores, knows she will have a significant role in helping the offense to flow and desires to be more of a hound on defense than she has ever been. Both elements will certainly gain from her eventual tutelage under Grentz, who won three national championships when lacing up her sneakers for Immaculata in the 1970s and who oversaw gold medalwinning efforts for the USA National Team at the Malysia-staged World Championships and the Seattle-situated Goodwill Games in 1990 and a bronze medal showing in the ’92 Barcelona-based Summer Olympic Games. A two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year and Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, she, like her future sharpshooter, has become accustomed to winning and knows what breeds triumphs. “I can’t wait to learn from her,� Alexis said. “I have a strong unit to lead at Eustace before that, though.� SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ike any teenager with a tenacious attraction to an endeavor, Alexis Santarelli knows that practitioners must make certain sacrifices to bolster their chances of succeeding. With her knack for knocking down shots having begun to draw increased interest from college coaches, she elected to skip her junior prom to play in the Boo Williams Spring Invitational, a decision that, because of her performance, yielded a handful of scholarship offers. Having carefully considered all her suitors, she chose Lafayette College in July and signed her letter of intent Nov. 11. “I always look to grow no matter what I’m doing, and Lafayette is going to be a great place to mature,� the 17-year-old registrant at Bishop Eustace Preparatory High School said Saturday at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., where she practiced with the two-time defending Catholic League champions. “I think it will be a great fit for me academically, and of course I’m hoping to be a steady contributor on the court.� The senior presence will seek the guidance of legendary head coach Theresa Grentz, who, in a terrific example of how small the world truly is, taught her mother, Letty Santarelli, in the sixth grade. The matriarch, who achieved All-American status at Immaculata University and who led the NeumannGoretti Saints to the first of the consecutive titles, has always played an integral role in her maturation, and Alexis aims to honor that support and backing from her teammates with each practice and contest. “I’ve grown up knowing all about the rewards of hard work,� the resident of the 2900 block of South Broad Street said. “At this point in my life, I’m becoming so aware of how seriously I need to take this sport. Basketball does not stop for me.� The face-up forward has already proven a proficient performer for her Pennsauken Township-based secondary institution for whom she has started
