ere is another tale in a series of development clashes between developers and neighbors, and this lot in question is a rather unique one – the triangle plaza at the intersections of South Sixth Street, East Passyunk Avenue and Christian Street. It has seen many lives, including a gas station and then a neighborhood-initiated park, but Dan Rosin and Raphael (Rafi) Licht are aiming at building a mixed-use apartment and commercial building that has nearby neighbors collecting signatures petitioning against its forward progress. Dana Marinucci, a resident of the 800 block of East Passyunk Avenue who

faces the proposed development, has collected nearly 175 signatures in an effort both to prevent the development altogether and push for a triangle park. The mother of a three-year-old who attends Moonstone Preschool, 750 S. 11th St., is also worried that future tenants would be able to peer into her and her neighbors’ homes. “Most people do not want this built. Ninety percent are really really against the building,� she said of a a statistic she’s calculated from her seeking signatures. “About five percent were sort of ambiguous about it and didn’t want to sign because it doesn’t affect them. Another five percent were out-and-out

rude, and a couple people are tired of seeing the space as it is. I would like it to look like the park in Passyunk Square,� she said, referring to the Singing Fountain at South 11th Street and East Passyunk Avenue. “That’s what we would all probably be really happy with.� After Tuesday night’s Bella Vista Neigbors Assocation meeting, however, the developers have conceded to a lowering of the building’s height from five to four floors. Marinucci reports that about 90 people attended the meeting with a straw poll vote where some 67 residents voted against the project while 11 voted in favor. She was sur-

prised to see support from a representative from the Queen Village Neighbors Assocation’s board. “The majority of the crowd was fervently opposed and people voiced their concerns, asked many questions and gave suggestions,� she wrote. Rosin and Licht are both relatively unique developers in the sense that they both live nearby. They’re neighbors on the 600 block of South Ninth Street, and Rosin’s tenants, on the first floor, are the Our House Montessori School, 701 S. Ninth St. “We’re trying to satisfy a lot of different competing interests and it’s a mixed ASS B=C56 ^OUS ,,

:SO^W\U OVSOR To our Readers: The race to 2016 is upon us, fellow South Philadelphians, and I am not talking about the quest for the White House. Only four weeks remain in this year, and plenty of people are already wishing that time away and anticipating what the next 12 months will bring. To them and anyone else with similar ideas, STOP! Yes, expect a fruitful new year, but do not do so at the expense of what could be a wonderful stretch of time. I know that the society in which we live today adores the whole idea of

“What’s next?� with regards to what will occupy us and thrill us, but that certainly has its drawbacks. Perhaps we should all just slow down and accept the pace at which we march. As a father, I hear all the time how time flies and how children grow up so quickly, and I have no objection to those sentiments because people know their stuff! I know some, too, and realize that while pondering the future can prove delightful, we can often find the present crying in a corner and wondering why nobody wants to play with it. One of my favorite movies

is 2000’s “Frequency,� starring Dennis Quaid. In an early scene, he attributes a colleague’s excessive concern to Father Time, with his wife, played by Elizabeth Mitchell, replying “Nothing wrong with old age, Frank...long as you get there.� What a phenomenal response! I hope I have not sounded too much like a preacher in this little piece. I simply want to convey that I value time too much to fast forward through it and refrain from supposing too much about what will come from my allotment. In other words, the present is my present, and the future is my promise. Lord, give me strength to respect both. 8]aS^V ;gS`a A]cbV >VWZZg @SdWSe 3RWb]`

To the Editor: I applaud Celeste Morello for moving proactively to protect St. Charles Borromeo from predatory developers who are targeting historic churches in South Philly (“Preemptively saving St. Charles,â€? Nov. 26). We are thankful the First African Baptist Church is now listed in the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. Still, it is threatened with demolition by neglect at the hands of the pastor who’s already been fined $10,000 for failing to comply with a court order to repair the historic property. So, members and friends are organizing to protect First African Baptist Church for as long as possible. We want to preserve the ancestors’ story of faith, resistance and triumph for current and fuB@33 B7<5 CA E3::( ¸BWa RSÂż \WbSZg bVS aSOa]\ b] PS X]ZZg eWbV O[^ZS a^]ba ture generations.

t 4:40 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a radio call for a disturbance on the highway and learned from the complainant that as she walked on the 400 block of Jackson Street approximately 10 minutes earlier, a male and female in a silver Nissan approached her, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man then showed her a badge and stated he was a police officer. Disregarding a warning that the stranger would arrest her if she did not come to him, the complainant ran away and witnessed the individuals fleeing in the Nissan, last seen heading northbound on Fifth Street. She described the man as white, 5-foot-5 and 30 to 40 years old; bald; clean-shaven; and wearing a gray Windbreaker; and the female as white, 5-foot-5, and 25 to 35 years old; having a stocky build and black hair; and wearing glasses, black tights, a tank top, and a cardigan. At 6:20 a.m. the same day, authorities reported to the 1600 block of East Passyunk Avenue for the report of a robbery in progress and learned that while the male victim was walking on the expanse, a gray or silver four-door compact vehicle stopped abruptly beside him, with the operator leaving the vehicle and flashing a badge. The figure identified himself as an officer of the law and said the complainant fit the description of an individual selling drugs in the neighborhood. The man handed over his wallet to the offender, who went through it and removed his medical card from it, giving it and the man’s identification card to a female seated in the front passenger space, asking her to see if the descriptions were a true match, Tolliver said. The lead offender then frisked him and looked inside his back pack, with the woman confirming the cards matched. After returning the wallet, the man returned to his vehicle and sped off down East Passyunk Avenue. The victim, who reported $14 missing, described the male as white, 5-foot-10 to 5-foot-11, in his 40s and 180 pounds; having a mustache; wearing a long-sleeve shirt of an unknown color and dark pants; and having a black or brown wallet bearing a badge of an unknown color; and the female as white and at least 200 pounds; and wearing a dark sweatshirt.

0WbbS` R`SO[a Police arrested a Hawthorne man for allegedly smashing a car window and intimidating another male.

N s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w. c o m Replying to a person-with-a-weapon call at 900 Packer Ave. at 2:40 a.m. Nov. 24, authorities met with the complainant, learning that as he slept in his 2004 Jeep Cherokee inside the Holiday Inn parking lot, someone heaved a rock through his car window. He added the culprit reached into the vehicle, leading the motorist to kick his car door at the intruder, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The victim contends the offender then came toward him to ask for money. After driving away, he went inside the hotel and had an employee call 911. Based on a provided description, police stopped a man at Seventh and Bigler streets and arrested 52-year-old Frederick Middleton, of the 1200 block of Bainbridge Street, following a positive identification by the victim, who suffered a scratch to his head, along with scratches to his arm, hand, and fingers due to the rock’s damage. Authorities charged Middleton with possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, propulsion of a missile, and attempted theft from a motor vehicle.

2O\US`]ca Rc] Authorities are seeking the public’s help in detaining two men who attempted to rob a Grays Ferry business. An employee of 3 Brothers Market, 2747 Moore St., reported that at 6:58 p.m. Nov. 23, two unknown males entered the establishment and approached the counter on separate sides. The first pointed a handgun at him and demanded money, with his accomplice also producing a gun. The worker, who reported the loss of no money or merchandise, pulled out his own gun and pointed it at the initial suspect, who fled the store and headed south on 28th Street from Moore Street, with the other criminal also taking to 28th Street.

note of “O Holy Night,� the tears will flow. 7) Cries of “Wait until next year�: These words often came from disgruntled fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers, whose beloved baseball heroes lost five World Series to the New York Yankees before winning a seven-game battle in 1955. I am claiming this as the new slogan for Eagles fans. I am sorry to do so, but after sooooooo many years of failing to live up to expectations, the Birds have ruffled many feathers, and I am sure to hear people declare ’16 will be what changes everything. 6) Andrea Bocelli at the Wells Fargo Center: I have admired this man since initially hearing him in 1997, and though I will not be present when he appears at the venue Dec. 12, just knowing I will be a few blocks away from him will provide an adequate supply of secondary joy. 5) Possible outdoor tennis: Thanks to some interesting weather patterns, I was able to play outdoor tennis the last two Decembers and definitely hope to whip some forehands through cooperative courts this installment, too. 4) New Year’s Eve: Yours truly loves Dec. 31 not for the party opportunities but for the chances to reflect on successes and failures. This year, hands down, has been the most compelling and confusing of my 36 years on this earth, so when New Year’s Eve arrives, I will not be forgetting old acquaintance; rather, I will be conversing with it as inspiration. 3) Decorated homes: I thank all of you who go all out to decorate your homes, especially the folks on the 2700 block of South Smedley Street. I posit my smile when seeing your handiwork has more luminosity than the lights you hang with care. 2) Disney on Ice: The Wells Fargo Center will host Disney on Ice from Dec. 24 to Jan. 3, and I cannot wait to take my son. We must always strive to keep the child in us alive, and what better way to do so than to spend time with my flesh and blood? 1) Christmas morning: In keeping with the sentiment in number two, I know nothing will top watching my four-year-old not only as he opens gifts but as he offers his thanks for receiving love. Trust me, Nicholas, a few toys are the least that I can give you as tokens of my appreciation for your love. SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ecember, how lovely to see you! I have never been a winter fan, but since most of December falls in the fall, I have no beef with the final month of the year. In fact, I usually find the stretch quite enjoyable and brimming with opportunity. As we mark the rapid approach to 2016, I decided to write about 10 occurrences I am anticipating this month. With temperatures destined to drop (although not too much, I hope, as you will see with my fifth selection), these choices will surely warm my heart. 10) The South Philly Striders Holiday Lights Run: I had the fortune of covering this event in 2012 and felt so committed to joining the trek from Broad Street and Oregon Avenue to 18th and Federal streets that I broke out my recorder and asked people questions as we braved the bitter wind and helped to drum up support for Philabundance. This year’s run will occur Dec. 10, and I am likely going to show my love for all things Christmas and philanthropy again. 9) The Army-Navy Game: These combatants have met 115 times, ladies and gentlemen, with Philadelphia hosting 85 of them. The academies will meet at Lincoln Financial Field Dec. 12, with the Midshipmen looking to notch their 14th-straight win over the Black Knights. I have never attended a duel between the two but admire the tenacity they show and respect that when the roster members set themselves to defending our country, they will do so with similarly inspiring enthusiasm. 8) Music on streets: Be it a gift from stores or a blessing from homes, music that hits me as I walk along South Philly streets always delights me. If I catch any

Harper requested Drake’s “On Me� from the Phlight Squad DJ before launching into one of his sharpest takeaways. “It’s on you. It’s not about your parents. It’s not about your teachers. It’s not about your friends,� he said before asking “What is the single biggest factor that will influence how much you earn over your lifetime?� Ezekial, from Hopkinson School in Juniata Park, said “yourself?� Harper pressed on before finding a student who responded with the right answer – education. Then he flashed a slide up on the jumbotron that detailed earnings based on education level. A high school dropout, characterized by the job cashier, earns $18,970 annually, while a high school graduate working as a medical secretary can earn upwards of $31,000. Bachelors degree-holders who are PR specialists ($54.2k) or computer analysts (nearly $80k) earn a great deal more than high school grads and, according to FutureSmart, advance de-

gree holders with masters or law degrees can earn up to $110,000 annually. “For your entire life you will have a relationship with money,� Harper added, and asked of his audience what the first step in building a structure like Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S. Broad St., would be. “A blueprint,� one student timidly suggested, to which Harper urged his audience to “be an active architect in your life – I don’t care if you think your teachers are whack or not, I don’t care if you have siblings or not or if you have one parent, two or three parents. What kind of impact will you have on the world and what kind of things do you want to achieve in your life?� THE FUTURESMART BREAKDOWN of “smart� versus “dumb� money probably hit home hardest to the teens. “Money is a tool like a hammer,� Harper explained. “It can be used to build your life.� Typical expenses, a pie graph showed, are:

n Tuesday morning, nearly 2,000 middle schoolers packed the Philadelphia 76ers courtside seats. Bussed in from 27 area schools, they were lured in by the promise of Sixers excitement (via their Phlight Squad, especially) and likely blindsided by financial education. MassMutual, a 164-year-old insurance company based out of Springfield, MA, runs its FutureSmart program as part of philanthropic efforts to give back to communities from coast to coast. Personnel typically visit NBA stadiums and bring in 1,500 to 3,000 students to deliver an easy-to-digest five-point educational program focused on motivating kids to keep their eye on successful, independent adulthood. “It’s an opportunity for us to engage middle school kids on a topic that they might not be that excited about,� Nick Fyntrilakis, MassMutual’s Vice President of Community Responsibility, explained. “We want to get them now and explain to them how important planning for their future is, how early they can start saving, and how profound it is to their future.� Earlier this year, FutureSmart visited the Houston Rockets’ Toyota Center, the Chicago Bulls’ United Center, the Utah Jazz, the Phoenix Suns, the Boston Celtics and the Denver Nuggets. The program’s touched down in Dallas, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, too, According to a MassMutual fact sheet, “72% of Americans believe it is important to educate our children on finances to ensure a strong economy in the future.� Last year FutureSmart reached 10,000 students and will reach another 10,000 by 2015’s end. Led by Hill Harper, a 49-year-old author, activist and actor (perhaps best known as Dr. Sheldon Hawkes on CBS’s “CSI: NY�) who holds degrees from Brown and Harvard universities, the program went through five subject points: the impact of education and career on income; why money is important; smart money versus dumb money; the power of savings; and a prompt to take the FutureSmart challenge. Before Harper’s lesson, Fyntrilakis affirmed what would be stressed for the next 90 minutes: “The most powerful thing [young people] can do to change their lives and have an impact on their lives is education. We want them to have a blueprint for their future.�

housing (30 percent), food (15 percent), transportation (15 percent), utilities (10 percent), debt repayment (10 percent), savings (10 percent), clothing (five percent) and entertainment (five percent). Harper then asked the DJ to spin Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor.� “Think about the idea of thriving, not just surviving,� he urged. Next, he flashed images on the jumbotron and asked the students to shout if these expenses were smart money, dumb money or both (characterized by a need versus a want). To an electric bill they shouted “NEED!� and to video games they shouted “WANT!� In the second half of the presentation, Harper brought out legendary Philadelphia 76er World B. Free. In his 13-year career he became one of the top 50 scorers in the history of the NBA and averaged 20 points per game. All with a third-grade education level. “When I first signed a contact with the 76ers, I couldn’t read and write,� he said. “I could play basketball but I needed an agent to represent me and count my money for me.� Harper asked him if he would have done anything differently, to which he replied “got my education from the beginning.� “Everyone wants to be a millionaire,� noted Fyntrilakis. “But it’s actually realistic. [We show you,] here’s what you have to do in order to get there.� Harper showed how dropping five percent of your earnings into a savings account can accumulate with interest (and dramatically). By “paying yourself 5% first,� audience members could have $48,359 stashed away in 10 years, $581,250 in 30 years, and $4,372,562 in 50 years. For a section of children who undoubtedly are flooded with pop cultural references, including but not limited to hip-hop culture, that boasts about having money, these lessons might’ve just hit home harder than they thought on a regular Tuesday morning. As Harper summarized in the lesson’s last minutes, the FutureSmart challenge is: “Doing well in school now and in the future; Pursuing your dreams; Figuring out what you want to do for a career; Getting the education and training that you need; Embracing smart money; Avoiding dumb money; and Opening a bank account.� SPR

We heard a lot of different opinions.� “We come at this maybe unlike a typical developer because we come first as neighbors and we’ve been trying to balance all of the competing voices that we hear from our neighbors and we have plans to live in this neighborhood and own this building for a long time,� Licht noted. “We are also trying to balance the economics of the project, which require a significant investment on our part.� THE DEVELOPERS WOULD be able to, by right, go in and build apartments up to a certain height, a height that more closely resembles the neighboring buildings, but part of the kicker in this deal is an expensive environmental remediation after the Department of Environmental Protection discovered toxins in the ground between 15 and 20 feet below the surface (likely a byproduct of the site being a gas station with tanks removed). It will cost the developers an estimated $200,000 before any ground can be broken. “Because of the remediation we need more units to make it economically viable,� Rosin said. “We feel that it could have gone up to five stories because it’s an island and it’s at least 50 feet from each neighbor. We thought the sight leant to that height and I still do and there are plenty of people at the meeting who agree with that, but not the majority, and we’ll listen to the majority.� With an agreement to revise the plan to include nine instead of 12 apartments over a retail space that would likely be a restaurant, Rosin and Licht seem hopeful they’ll strike a balance that the community will sign off on in the future. “The space, as it’s laid out, is about 2,200 square feet on the ground floor but there would be some potential for basement use. It would be a nice neighborhood restaurant if it goes that way with a lot of windows, it would

The City seems to be passing up a $500,000 purchase this go around. Palmer thinks the proposed project is disproportionate to the immediate neighborhood as well. “What they’ve proposed is just much out of scale for the neighborhood.

ver effervescent, Joseph F. Marino needs no prompt to display his penchant for positivity, and when the calendar turns to December, his mirth manifests itself even more majestically. Barely able to contain his holiday joy, the 52-year-old will endow fellow lovers of levity with 24 yuletide classics tomorrow through his first Christmas concert. “I find myself thrilled at this time of year,� the resident of the 1900 block of South Jessup Street said of his relentless receptivity to the Christmas season. “Having this opportunity fills me with such happiness since singing has

always been my strongest means of expression and since this is the best time of the year to have the spirit move me.� The East Passyunk Crossing dweller will venture to the Haddonfield Center and School for the Performing Arts for his two-dozen-strong set of religious and secular selections. His involvement will serve to raise funds for the Garden State-based facility, of which he is a board member. “It just feels right for me,� Marino said of the space at which he last year gave a concert consisting of songs highly relevant to his energetic existence. “I love what the overseers look to accomplish through their events, and because I’m doing Christmas songs, that wholesome vibe will really make the night that much more special.� Though the pleasure will be all his, he certainly wishes to waken within the attendees senses of wonder and considerations of winter wonderlands, noting that his offerings will, much like his other center appearance’s elements, include numbers with personal significance. Owing to the brevity of the Christmas season, Marino maximizes his appreciation for its charm and charges himself with > = @ B @ / 7 B > 6 = B = 0 G B 7 < / 5 / @ 1 3 / C

B?<;IJOB;I giving beautiful renditions, particularly of the religious components. “There’s so much gravitas that comes through in the material,� he said of pieces that deal with the divine. “Look at the catalogue of such songs, and you’ll find yourself amazed with the timelessness and the beauty. For me, it’s about reverence and my enthusiasm for paying respect to powers way beyond my comprehension.� Marino credits his Italian-American heritage as a huge help in fostering his fervent admiration for singing, opining that his people are “extremely blooded individuals who celebrate lavishly and love fully.� He will even acknowledge a local influence by including a song by West Passyunk native Frankie Avalon and relayed that no matter the content, he is content with his duties as an entertainer and anticipates a wonderful evening, complete with a sing-along. “So much is possible through song,� Marino mused. “When I perform, I’ll look forward to the beloved arrangements, the excited faces, and my gratitude for the opportunity to make the night unforgettable.�

GROWING UP ON the 1900 block of South Sartain Street, Marino matured as a member of a musically-included family, and he came to see singing as “an extremely healthy release of energy.� Academically gifted, he struggled to fashion fully a career plan that would suit him, but he knew melodies would will him to scale the summit of his artistic potential. “I see singing as something that allows us to pour other elements of creativity into our involvement in it,� Marino said, adding that touches of poetry and theater can come through in one’s handling of notes. “For me, because of my church background, I viewed singing initially as a ministry where I could help someone through grief or to celebrate something monumental.� He studied rhetoric and communication through undergraduate enrollment at Temple University and pursued library science mastery through Drexel University. Music remained a ceaseless siren, with his bucket list growing an item shorter when he performed a one-man show of secular compositions at Francoluigi’s High Note Cafe, 1549 S. 13th St. Thinking of the endeavor as a one-and-

done venture, he received such kudos that he later served as the winter review closing act for the East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association, which has come to epitomize his enthusiasm for his environs and admiration for its inhabitants. “This is a fascinating time to be in South Philly and especially within my little realm,� the civic’s co-chair said, with a nod to the nine-year-old body’s five committees and efforts to enhance the loves of those who call home the stretch encompassing Sixth to Broad streets and Snyder Avenue to Tasker Street. “We have lasting, durable traditions, but we also have novelty and such diversity that we can truly say we’re a melting pot. That’s exciting to witness, and I love having a leadership role in watching so much unfold.� Marino gladly touted the creation of the community garden at Ss. NeumannGoretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., the installation of a four-paneled mural at the former SEPTA Substation situated at 13th and Mifflin streets, and the transformation of the Tolentine Community Center and Development Corp. into the East Passyunk Community Recreation

Center, 1025 Mifflin St., as the association’s greatest triumphs. As the president of the advisory council for the third part of the trio, Marino noted that he loves overseeing “the care of a newborn� and greatly anticipates successful projects and pursuits through the space, including Dec. 11’s 7-to-10 p.m. art auction. First things first, though, the gentleman, who has already established strong connections with local houses of worship, namely, Annunciation BVM, Holy Spirit, the National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and St. Richard of Chichester, yearns to show his appreciation for the trust that the Haddonfield Center folks have placed in him. “Yes, my first ever Christmas concert,� Marino beamed. “It promises to be so much fun for me, and, if I may be so bold, it will bring a smile or 10 to the ticketgoers, too.� SPR For tickets, visit haddonfieldarts.org, or email admin@haddonfieldarts.org.

owners were the brother-sister combination of Billy and Dolly Banks. Lenny Bruce, an outspoken satirist in the early 1960s, once described Dolly and Billy as two people who ran their radio station like a corner deli. Despite the noble efforts of FM Program Director Sid Mark, already known for “Fridays with Frank,� a show devoted to the music of Frank Sinatra, Bruce was right. Sid had many noted guests, including Bruce, in the studio appearing on his show. Whether it was Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, Steve and Eydie, or Lenny Bruce, the guests would be met by Dolly’s two cocker spaniels rushing headlong at them and nipping at their ankles. Dolly was not averse to rushing into the studio to tell one of her DJs to take his feet off the console. When one of her DJs, Chris Albertson, left to get a job with Riverside Records, she Dolly banned all Riverside recordings from airplay. That RIVERSIDE was a mainstay at the time in producing great jazz recordings did not factor in her decision. WHAT-FM deserves a place in any mention of the great days of Philadelphia radio, despite the Banks, and because of Sid Mark’s efforts. One of the great joys of my life at that time was being in the studio while Sid thrust the studio monitor to its highest point as the orchestra wailed and Maynard Ferguson hit triple-c notes on “Frame for the Blues.� A side note - Joe Grady, of Grady and Hurst fame, hired me. Grady believed that a good jazz DJ read the liner notes. He once gave a night off only after he heard that my date was Irish. I was earning exactly $1.50 an hour on WHATFM. He finally gave me a 25 cent raise so I could afford transit fare. The WHAT-AM outlet was in the same building as the FM jazz station. WHAT-AM was considered a “black� station and in big time competition with WDAS at the time for the African-American audience. In the AM studio across from where I was playing late night jazz, a DJ named Fred Robbins, who went by the name of Rockin’ Robin, played rock n’ roll. Before his shift, he would come into my studio to chat while I played extended album cuts. I was only required at long intervals to come in with a station ID, a brief commercial, and perhaps a weather update. Apparently, Fred didn’t get much sleep because he’d doze off in the time I was on the air, and you heard him snoring as I introduced the next record by Nina Simone. Jerry Blavat also worked in the AM studio opposite my FM show. So did the sultry Tiger Rose (named after the wine), who doubled as a gospel queen on Sundays, and later went on to become a state legislator. I bet she sold a lot of that wine.

When radio was king and a little known weekend broadcaster rubbed elbows with the stars) When I was a communications major graduating Temple in June 1960, AM radio was where it was at; Top 40 rock n’ roll was the format, and Wildwood, New Jersey was where it all came together. Temple’s job placement service left a lot to be desired - at one point referring me to Korvettes Department Store for an “announcing� job (“Check out the kitchenware department for a great buy on pots and pans.�). Lucky for me, I was able to land a job as the night-time disc jockey at WCMC-AM in Wildwood. That was where I met Tom Moran. Moran has the charm and impishness of an Irish elf. The owner of the radio station was a devoutly religious man, whom we will call “Frank,� who also owned a construction outfit. The two men clashed one morning over one of the more innocuous number one hits that summer - “Theme from A Summer Place� by Percy Faith and his orchestra. The problem was that the film of the same name had been rated objectionable in part by the Catholic National Legion of Decency. Frank believed if there were something objectionable about the film, he didn’t want the theme music played on his radio station. A word here about Frank’s musical tastes. At one point, he asked me why I was playing the recordings of so many black performers on the air, when I could be playing barbershop quartets. Moran decided one morning that he would defy Frank’s ban and play the “Theme from A Summer Place.� In those days, DJ’s actually played 45 rpm records on a turntable to get them on the air. Frank happened to be walking by the studio when he heard the strains of the forbidden tune boldly playing on his radio station. In one impetuous moment, Frank burst into the studio, ripped the plastic 45 recording off the turntable, and tried to break it apart with his bare hands while Moran smiled like a leprechaun singing “How Are Things in Glocca Morra?� Frank learned that day that the devil must’ve had a hand in making 45 records because no matter how hard he tried, Percy Faith would not break in half.

nyone familiar with Mark Casasanto knows that he is quite a gregarious guy. One could posit that the resident of the 2400 block of South 20th Street could attribute his jovial nature to genetics, but diet probably plays a part, too, with his recipe for chocolate chip banana bread likely to make you as perky as he is. The Girard Estate denizen noted that his handiwork can be a standalone delight with morning coffee or a dessert topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup drizzle. He also suggested applying a spreadable whipped cream cheese. Has he convinced you to try it? What’s that, you are already making it? Taste buds are far mightier than the pen and the sword combined.

umbling temperatures are no match for desires for great food and drink options, and Luke Palladino, owner of Palladino’s on Passyunk, 1934 E. Passyunk Ave., is countering the cold by adding Saturday brunch service from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., a move that complements Sunday’s same four-hour brainchild. The proprietor has introduced a Bloody Mary trio, among other liquid delights, and will offer plates such as OrangeScented Ricotta Pancakes and Smoked Salmon Bruschetta.

am recovering from a dreadful bout of flu that wreaked havoc with my taste buds. I was inside for four days and began to think about restaurant trends in the new year. I also thought about some of our readers’ questions and thoughts concerning restaurants and the types of places they miss. Several weeks ago, someone wrote about the higher cost of baked goods. Quality products require top quality ingredients. The bird flu drove up the price of eggs. Good butter is not as cheap as it once was. Many bakeries and pastry chefs are using organic butter and flour and eggs laid by free-range chickens raised without hormones and antibiotics. The same logic goes for organic milk and cream. Another reader was aghast about why an eggplant dish that I so much enjoyed at Neuf, 943 S. Ninth St., would cost $11. Gone are the days when appetizers cost on an average of $6. The reader mentioned Strolli’s, a now-shuttered South Philly restaurant, that I frequented on a number of occasions. There was no sign on the plain front door, so one had to know where this delightful family restaurant was located. I mentioned I liked the marinated/pickled vegetables, especially the carrots, mushrooms and cauliflower and the simple pastas. Carafes of good, honest, decent jug wine were very inexpensive. When I mentioned Strolli’s to my friend Thom Motta, a life-long resident of South Philly, he broke into a wide grin. The cost of cocktails and wines has become prohibitive in restaurants throughout the city. Even moderately-priced places charge way too much for a bottle of wine. There should be a few bottles of red, rose and wine for $30. I also hope some new places with a liquor license will charge less for a glass or bottle of wine. During Thanksgiving dinner, a South Phily guest brought up the Harvey House, now long gone on South Broad Street. When I was a girl, my friends and I would go there for burgers, fries, milkshakes or ice cream sodas after a long day of shopping at Bonwit Teller & Co., the Blum Store and Wanamakers, all now gone as well. Sigh. As we look to the new year, I wish for more moderately-priced casual restaurants. For the past five years or so, many chefs have created dishes using local ingredients. Supporting local farmers is high on my list. I would like to see more family-friendly restaurants as well. I’m pleased Gnocchi, 613 E. Passyunk Ave., has returned to Queen Village. I always enjoyed

my dinners there and plan a return visit. I also look forward to the opening of The Hungry Pigeon, 743 S. Fourth St., from Chef Scott Schroeder of South Philadelphia Taproom, 1509 Mifflin St., and American Sardine Bar, 1800 Federal St. His food is always fresh and comforting. South Philly is home to many Vietnamese restaurants. The majority feature pho. I hope more Vietnamese restaurants open with a full menu, akin to Le Viet, 1019 S. 11th St., my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. I go there at least once a month when I don’t feel like cooking. Philadelphia lacks an appetizer store. New York’s famous Russ and Daughters, on the Lower East Side, is probably the most famous appetizer store in America. It has been in business, owned by the same family, for more than 100 years. The store sells several types of Nova Scotia salmon, smoked fish, sable and whitefish. It also sells bagels and bialys. Bialys are more like a roll and do not have a hole in the center like bagels. The center is indented and filled with cool sautÊed onions and a bit of poppy seeds. I hope Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook, who gave us Zahav and Federal Donuts, 1219 S. Second St., are reading this. Please open an appetizer store with a small cafe. You could do this in South Philly. I was in bed sipping tea and turkey noodle soup on Small Business Saturday. I always go to lunch at a family-owned restaurant on that day. I rarely eat in a chain restaurant. Then I go to a local bookstore and browse the new titles. I read some good news that I believe was in The Passyunk Post, a week or two ago. It stated The Italian Market is thinking about extending its Sunday hours. This is news that should be shouted from the rooftops. I am constantly looking at my watch on a Sunday, hoping there is time to get to Fante’s, 1006 S. Ninth St.; Claudio’s, 924 S. Ninth St.; Sonny D’Angelo’s, 909 S. Ninth St.; DiBruno Bros., 930 S. Ninth St., and so forth. The Market is a 100-year-old gem. I recently built a meal around imported meats and cheeses from DiBruno’s and watched an Eagles game. I recently read Villa Di Roma, 936 S. Ninth St., has begun selling its marinara sauce. Bravo! New York’s famous Raos now has local competition. SPR Comment on this restaurant or review at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/reviews.

Within the culinary world, Rob Marzinsky believes all practitioners should aim for similar identities as “better humans,� with his newest means to magnify his altruism coming as the executive chef at Buckminster’s, 1200 S. 21st St. “I love what we’re striving to do here,� the 31-year-old said from the two-and-a-halfweek-old establishment. “We want to be hospitable and offer healthful foods while focusing on sustainability and emphasizing the sourcing of local goods.� Residing within Point Breeze, the delicious victuals advocate enjoys helping to make his neighboring employment site a delight for lovers of what a press release dubs “approachable snacks and small plates, with a few larger dishes.� Under the leadership of South Philly native and husband-and-wife pair Michael and Jeniphur Pasquarello, the 40-seat space operates as a neo-bistro, with Marzinsky stressing the significance of local and seasonal ingredients to sate those with a penchant for the past and diners with a fascination for the future. “I remember when Michael asked about what I could do in a space like this,� the hire recalled. “I wanted to give it a shot because I am dedicated to offering tasty food with a bit of thought behind it.� Thinking he would become a potter based on his education at Alfred University, the Upstate New York native noted a kitchen-based existence came to prove more compelling, with employment at Philadelphia-based businesses the Fitler Dining Room; Pub & Kitchen; and Stateside, 1536 E. Passyunk Ave., forever distancing him from a studio-situated life. Having fallen for the process of cooking and greatly valuing sourcing’s role in establishing camaraderie among restaurants and providers, he elected to share the steps for Buckminster’s Oyster Stew, which he makes according to the

Doylestown Hotel recipe, as told by renowned food writer Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher. “I used to make a different version at Fitler, but I think this one ends up being a little tastier,� Marzinsky, noting the main ingredients’ New Jersey origins, said of the product. “Really, because it’s not too involved, all you need is an appreciation for oysters, which is not too hard for many people to have.�

27@31B7=<A( Peel, square off, and cut the potatoes. Place them in a pot, and simmer with the heavy cream until tender. Strain the cream, reserve, and set the potatoes aside. Shuck the oysters, and place them in a container with their liquor. Warm about a cup of cream with a spoonful of potatoes per person over low to medium heat. Lightly salt and crack some pepper into the mix. When the mixture starts to simmer, add the oysters, and pull the pot off the heat, stirring to keep the oysters and stew moving. The lips of the oysters will start to curl, meaning they are ready. Pull them from the pot and into a warm bowl, and bring the stew to a simmer again. Add around a tablespoon of butter as well as a glug of sherry and a dash of hot sauce. Divide this mixture among the bowls, and serve the hot sauce, butter, and sherry on the side for guests to add according to their preference.

hen his ribs became injured during Thanksgiving Day’s Turkey Bowl at the South Philadelphia Super Site, 10th and Bigler streets, Bryan Gabriel could have considered the occasion enough cause to keep him from returning to action against South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St.; however, the senior at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., made minimal use of an ice pack and after missing only a kickoff, he returned to the field, eventually claiming team most valuable player honors in the Saints’ 26-24 victory. The 17-year-old will soon call on that tenacity to a much greater degree, as he will join the United States Marine Corps a month after graduating. “I think everyone should want to protect our country’s interests in some way,� the resident of the 100 block of Jackson Street said Tuesday within his secondary institution. “My way is going to be doing what I can to keep us safe because we’re living in some pretty dangerous times, especially because of ISIS.� In destining himself for a July 5 departure for Parris Island, S.C-situated boot camp, the Whitman resident will be following the example of his father, also named Bryan, who promoted the Corps’ allegiance to our nation from 1993 to 2001. Fully prepared to handle the rigors of his introduction to adulthood, the younger Gabriel will present before his superiors a body ready to endure and a mind eager to explore. “I’ve always had mental fortitude, and I’ve picked up a lot of lessons from my elders,� the teenager said. “I’m looking to be the best that I can because we need to be strong against our enemies.� Along with his cranial capacity, Gabriel is bolstering his strength through Temple University-based conditioning and testing meetings. With that commitment, his father’s influence, and the efforts of his great-grandfathers, Francis Moses, who served in the Army during World War II, and Thomas McGoldrick, who aided the

Navy during the same conflict, as motivation, Gabriel expects his 13 weeks in the Palmetto State to be a conquerable test and a perfect springboard to a fruitful future. “I’m excited about having the opportunity to help to defend our freedom,� the youth said of his vocation, which will find him working as an electrician within the Corps’ Military Occupational Specialty utilities classification. “This is the path that is right for me, but there’s still a ton of time before I leave, and I want to focus on improving in every area of my life before I do.� WHEN HE HEADS south, Gabriel will take many tangible tokens of his cemented place in the lives of his loved ones and will look to make great use of his most treasured abstract blessings, too, namely,

his heart and selflessness. “I think they’re my two biggest gifts,� he said of what has compelled his enthusiasm for the armed forces and football. “I know that people love to underestimate me, and that just gives me motivation to be a better person on all levels.� With respect to his attraction to a life of service, Gabriel noted his interest began to blossom when he hit adolescence and that regular exposure to the History and Military channels solidified his belief that it is his duty to be dutiful to the United States of America. “There was my family connection, of course, but something just felt right to me,� he said of proudly proclaiming his admiration his predecessors in preserving our freedom. “As I’ve become a little older, I just want to do my part to keep everything running.�

Such has been the case for him, too, since he took up football as a kindergartner. He played for the Angels at the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., before making the transition to the Warriors Catholic Youth Organization, where his mentors included 2015 South Philly Review Difference Maker Shawn Brown. A roster member for all four years at his East Passyunk Crossing-based high school, Gabriel has always looked to contribute ample energy to the Saints and wanted for this year to build on the success established last season when the Saints won the Class AA Catholic League championship and the AA City title. However, following a season-opening 38-0 annihilation of Valley Forge Military Academy, the team dropped nine straight games, meaning Thanksgiving’s annual tilt versus the Rams involved far more than securing bragging rights. “There were some pretty frustrating moments during that streak,� Gabriel, primarily a middle linebacker and received, said. “Because it was going to be the last game for many of us, we wanted a great result for our fans.� Playing fullback for the inaugural time, he touched the ball for the first time all year in the contest, tallying 51 yards on six carries. He also proved his defensive prowess by notching seven tackles, with five being solo. Already proud of him for his decision to join the Corps, the fanbase showed much appreciated respect to Gabriel upon his receipt of the most valuable player trophy. “It was just a great way to go out overall,� he said. “I’m incredibly happy to have won what will probably be the last game of football that I play. I’m going to have different pursuits soon, but this school and my family and friends are always going to be in my heart.� Semper fidelis, young man.
