hen it comes to Christmas, South Philly goes for the gold and, as far as neighborhood festivity goes, gets it. From smaller collectives of block residents who try to outdo one another with inflatable Santas, strip lights, and elaborate window displays, to moreformally cooperative efforts to turn their displays of holiday spirit into a desirable attraction for even non-city dwellers, there’s no shortage of excitement for Dec. 25. In fact, there are a handful of guides

that roll out throughout December for where to find the biggest and best stretches of the city to catch the bug – the magic of a holiday that, for some, is the best of the year. And South Philly wins as far as the city proper. On Dec. 10, Redfin’s blog published “The Best Neighborhoods to See Holiday Lights in 2015,� a nationwide survey of phenomenally lit-up celebrations of Santa and his magic. While Philly didn’t make the nationwide Top 5 neighborhoods, there are Top 5s for the Top 25 cities to see holiday lights,

and South Philly is the king of the City of Brotherly Love. “The Miracle on South 13th Street� and the “Smedley Street Christmas Light Spectacular� are front and center, while spots in Levittown, Bethlehem and Reading are also noted. Both phenomena are the subject of great celebration in local media: PhillyMag’s Sunday edition features a brilliant VisitPhilly photograph of 13th Street emblazoned on its cover; MetroPhilly featured the “Miracle� in its “Where to See Christmas Lights in

Philadelphia�; CBS3’s Holiday Special with Jessica Dean (airing regularly 12/17-25 on CBS3 and the CW) will feature both 13th Street and the 2700 block of South Smedley Street; last week running groups, South Philly Striders and Fishtown Beer Runners, teamed up for a South Philly Holidaly Lights Run; and last night, cyclists flooded 13th Street and South Smedley Street for the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia-organized Holiday Lights Bike Ride.

1V`Wab[Oa []c`\W\U To the Editor: Santa may be forced to change his itinerary this year because in the wake of the recent assault by Islamic radical terrorists, even a jolly old soul like St. Nick is not safe. It is a very dark and chilling realization that these suicidal maniacs have been living amongst us, right here in our own country because drastic measures were not taken to keep them out. Therefore, Santa’s customary red attire may have to be replaced with a camouflage uniform, air travel may be too risky in his open sleigh, so flying through

the clouds led by Rudolph may possibly have to change to his boots on the ground being driven in a tank by armed soldiers. The world has changed and so must tradition. Horrific acts of terrorism have heavily tainted this Christmas season, and we are doing everything in our power to move on from the emotional distress we are feeling. Uplifting Christmas movies and cheerful holiday songs are being impeded by the horrors that seem to have become part of our everyday lives. With the tragic news of yet another attack on American soil, most

recently in California, we could only pray for stronger and more diligent leadership in order to secure a more hopeful tomorrow. This is a time to embrace our holidays, feeling grateful and blessed to be happily sitting together with our families and taking a moment to say a prayer for the many innocent lives lost. I have confidence that Santa will not disappoint those who still believe in the magic of Christmas, and I’m sure he will be able to complete his mission with help from our heroes who will continue to fight for the safety of our country; thank you all for sacrificing your lives to save ours. The beloved hymn “Let There Be Peace On Earth� has become the cry of our nation to end this mass destruction, heal victims’ families and allow us to have the freedom and peace of mind we so rightly deserve, once again. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with US. Merry Christmas and God Bless America. Debbie Russino South Philadelphia

“Well, I retired so that’s pretty big. Frankly, I’m getting bored, so I’m considering finding a side job.� Mark Gaspari, 10th and Jackson streets

To the Editor: So how thrilled was I to see three of my favorite older adult buddies smiling back at me from the pages of SPR (Word on the Street, Dec. 10)! Seeing these wonderful ladies inspired me to remind readers of the remarkable senior centers in Philadelphia. Having worked in a handful of centers, I can attest to the true treasures they are. These aren’t your grandma’s senior centers with never-ending bingo games and icky lunches. These are active, dynamic and inspirational second homes where folks can socialize, have a hot meal, participate in activities, volunteer, get assis-

tance with services and so much more. Philadelphia Corporation for Aging is our Area on Aging agency, and what a blessing it is! PCA truly enriches lives and preserves dignity through the management of more than 30 centers/sites, the extensive staff training programs and centers’ financial support. PCA’s award winning Age-Friendly Philadelphia agenda to improve the physical and social environment that surrounds the city’s elders helps older adults remain healthy, active and engaged in the community. The more our seniors are involved in life, the more they give back. The more they are seen as assets to communities, the more inspirational they become to others. And this ripple affect has power! While I can write about this for pages and pages, I encourage all to see ourselves in our older adults. To experience some of the touching moments at these senior centers is evidence of their incredible worth to our society. So get off the couch and away from the boob tube, and visit your local senior center. Join the smiling ladies, and I’m sure they’ll tell you that the “Word on the Street� is that senior centers rock! You’ll be so glad you did! Visit pcacares.org, or call 215-765-9040 Shawna Lisa South Philadelphia Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

police officer arrived on the 2600 block of Wharton Street at 6:40 p.m. Dec. 14 for a personwith-a-weapon call and met with a witness who told him the gun-carrying individual was at the intersection of 27th and Earp streets. A backup officer observed two figures who fit the flash information and attempted to stop the second one, who entered a silver 2003 Volkswagen Passat, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The figure ignored verbal commands to exit and sped down the block before heading northbound on 28th Street and then heading the wrong way eastbound on the 2700 block of Sears Street. As he traveled in the improper direction, the officer signaled for him to stop, but he increased his speed and struck the law enforcement official, resulting in his being thrown into a parked vehicle. Authorities later located the car on the 2200 block of Annin Street. The injured officer received transport to Jefferson Hospital for treatment of his broken left shin, which required surgery, lacerations to his left leg and groin area, abrasions to his arms, and trauma to his forehead. Authorities announced on Monday that they were waiting approval for a warrant to execute an arrest, and on Tuesday, they released an image of Maurice Taylor, 26, of the 1500 block of Ellsworth Street. Call South Detectives Division at 215-686-3013 or dial 911.

Ž s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w. c o m On Monday, following a police officer’s viewing of a surveillance video and the linking of the image of the suspect to another matter, law enforcement officials detained Javon Cooper and charged him with robbery, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property. They contend that on July 21, he wandered in the area of 16th and Ritner streets for approximately one hour before following a 14-year-old girl on the 2400 block of South 16th Street. He then supposedly grabbed her phone and fled on Ritner Street. The 20-year-old had not posted his $7,500 bail as of press time and awaits a Dec. 30 preliminary hearing.

Walking on the 1800 block of Hoffman Street at 7:30 p.m., the complainant came into contact with two unknown males who knocked her to the ground and began kicking her face and body, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective said. A witness yelled for them to cease, leading the criminals to grab her backpack, headphones, and cell phone before running away on 18th Street. The victim, who received treatment at Pennsylvania Hospital for a broken index finger and contusions to her mouth and body, described the offenders as black, with the first being in his early 20s and 5-foot-8; having a dark complexion and a thin build; and wearing a gray hoodie.

They began to ran but the chief complainant received his injuries, leading to his transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, with personnel listing him in critical condition.

many people become excited for the Philly Spring Cleanup, but come the next day, the typical someone-else-will-pickit-up mentality returns. How I would love for people to triumph over trash because it is a tragedy and not a trifle. 6) Fewer children wandering through neighborhoods at night: I am all for exploring South Philly, but I do not think the pilgrims need to be children yet to hit puberty. I gripe about this often and would thank my lucky stars, which those youths can inspect, too, since they are out so late, if they would make like good little girls and boys and GO TO SLEEP! 5) Fewer crimes: I read and write about some pretty nasty crimes in South Philly and know that what we publish counts for so little of what occurs on our streets. I know we will never part with the havenots whose solution to their lack of resources or ambition is to take from others, but why is the tally of tear-inducing matters so high? 4) Continued success of SEPTA’s Route 45: My friends and Review colleagues know how much I loathed Route 23, and I have been very pleased with the condensed version that debuted last month. Gone are the days of waiting an eternity for the 23 and having two or three show up within seconds of one another. 3) Slowed increase in restaurant openings: I lived on East Passyunk Avenue from 2004 to ’06 and found the stretch rather dull. Of course, it exploded once I left, with restaurants leading the boom. South Philly has welcomed many other eateries in various neighborhoods, and I hope the influx continues. 2) Dwindled amount of creative residents: Having been with this publication since May 2010, I have met, interviewed, and befriended hundreds of wonderfully creative people who feel South Philly is the best location to stoke their creative and compassionate fires. Please refer the environs to similarly enthusiastic individuals, everyone. 1) A professional sports championship within the next five years: I am a Philly pro sports fanatic, so you know that I am quite familiar with suffering. Which franchise will be the next to return us to prominence? Can at least one of our teams resolve to make intimate acquaintance with us on Broad Street by 2020?

I understand how precious spaces are, but it would really stun me if people actually heard complete concepts before presuming they are going to lose their preferred spots. 9) Fewer arguments over parking spots: I trust that we have all loved this recent spell of comfortable weather because Mother Nature is not likely to be a completely caring matriarch come winter. Snow will come and with it, the ever-annoying battle over who deserves to have or retain a parking spot. Thank God I’m a pedestrian! 8) No rain on trash night: People are always receiving buckets of money to do odd studies, so I am going to petition someone to give me cash to write about why it almost always rains, even pours, on Tuesday night, which is when I take out the trash.

The Granny Peace Brigade has always spoken out against war; this time they’re concerned about Syria. Photos Provided by Granny Peace Brigade Philadelphia

in some form, that Syrian refugees fleeing ISIS violence are not welcome. Pennsylvania’s not one of them, and the Granny Peace Brigade would like to keep it that way. “[United for Peace and Justice] were urging other groups, peace and humanitarian groups, to highlight the Syrian conflict [on International Human Rights Day] that’s over four-and-a-half years long,� Kosloff, who still resides in the Lower Moyamensing home, explained. “Millions of people are fleeing homes, almost 12 million. In Jordan, I believe, one in four are Syrians.� Susan Gould, another Granny Peace Brigade activist who chuckles because she’s a mother to only a cat, noted that the Syrian refugee crisis fits right in-line with the Granny Bridgade’s mission. “Considering that we’ve always been concerned with the welfare of women and children in various war-torn areas of the world, the ever-increasing horror of these people having to escape their homes� was of great interest. She says “many of them are professional people who had jobs, teachers, working people of all sorts, doctors, and some of them have lost members of their families because of blasted smart bombs aimed at Isis.� The resident of the 900 block of Snyder

Avenue, ten years Kosloff’s junior, says drone bombing is part of the problem: “We know without a doubt that these ghastly devices have been killing innocent families and people.â€? RANGING IN AGE from Grannies in their 60s to their late ‘90s, some of these women have lived through decades of social justice movements. 87-year-old Helen Evelev, who calls Washington Square West home, recalls the ominous Bay of Pigs Cuban Missile Crisis as one of the scariest moments of her life. “You didn’t know if you were going to wake up in the morning,â€? she noted. Kosloff and Gould both fought the Vietnam war with bus trips to Washington D.C. in the late 1960s. The fliers they handed out last week didn’t mince words. They read: “Granny Peace Brigade Philadelphia stands in solidarity with Syrian and Iraqi refugees fleeing for their lives and escaping the same violence that killed so many in Beirut and Paris. France continues to welcome 30,000 Syrian refugees, and Germany is welcoming 1 million‌. We urge you to resist the anti-Muslim fearmongering masquerading

n May 2004, then-South Philly Review editor Sandra Pilla wrote a very touching tribute to Sherwood Baker, the foster son of Al Zappala. Zappala grew up on the 2500 block of South 12th Street and moved back into the house where he was raised with his second wife, Joan Kosloff, almost 16 years ago to take care of his ailing mother. Kosloff, unfortunately, has survived them all and, at 76, is one of the core grannies in the Granny Peace Brigade of Philadelphia. The Granny Brigade’s activism has taken different forms and foci throughout its nearly 10-year history but, suffice it to say, Baker was near and dear to Kosloff’s heart and she mourned his loss alongside Zappala’s first wife Celeste with grave resilience. Now, it seems, she continues to honor his memory with peace protests not unlike the ones she, Al and Celeste dragged a young Sherwood to as a child. On Dec. 10, Kosloff and a band of other Granny Peace Brigade Philadelphia members honored International Human Rights Day by presenting a letter to a Syrian asylee, Yousef Abbara, who would in turn translate the letter and post it to Syrian Facebook. Before the letter presentation, they collected almost 200 signatures for a petition to Pennsylvania senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey. The petition read “We urge you to provide leadership: To promote diplomacy to end the continued military devastation in Syria; To support efforts to keep our doors open to Syrian refugees fleeing ISIS while providing humanitarian relief to refugee camps; [and] To publicly stand against hate speech directed to our neighbors in the Muslim community.� A hot topic, indeed, after militant terrorists struck several sites in Paris on Nov. 13, killing 130 and injuring almost another 370. More than 25 states have communicated,

as prudence since refugee screening is the most intensive vetting process of any group arriving in the U.S.� They provided a number, 877-210-5351, and urged callers to request that we welcome 65,000 Syrian refugees to the United States and to pass SB 2145, “an emergency supplemental appropriations bill.� The Grannies advocate for peace and conflict resolution in many ways. The fliers, letter, vigil and panel discussion held last week at The Ethical Society was just their latest method. Famously, nearly ten years ago, they protested on North Broad Street with the help of the first-ever Mayor Michael Nutter-appointed poet laureate, Sonia Sanchez, by causing a stir at an Amry recruitment center. “About 11 grannies who were opposed to the Iraq war decided to sit in at the Army recruiting station on Broad Street,� Kosloff, who wasn’t a member of the team yet, said. The argument was simply “we’ve lived our lives, recruit us, don’t recruit our children or our grandchildren – they haven’t lived their lives.� The organization has nearly 200 listed members but closer to 20 who are regularly active. In fact, they meet every second and fourth Tuesday at the American Friends Service Committee, 10 a.m. to noon, at 1501 Cherry St. All are welcome. Kosloff hasn’t slowed down in life and, in fact, may be picking up more and more steam as a loud voice for many South Philadelphians. She demonstrated last winter at the Sports Complex when nearly 250 demonstrators laid down for four-and-a-halfminutes just as Eagles traffic was letting out to honor Eric Garner’s death. “It was coooold,� she remembers, later recalling her comments at mayor-elect Jim Kenney’s townhall meeting at South Philly High, 2101 S. Broad St., earlier this month. “The only natives to America were Native Americans,� she offered and received a mix of boos and cheers. She believes in public schools as an essential city commodity and doesn’t think too kindly of charters (even if one of her kids is a vice principal at one in North Philly). “I just really believe in public education,� she admitted and smiled when she said “I was the second-to-last speaker, and I was really firing them up.� SPR

HOLIDAY continued from page 1 What’s the point of it all? If you ask the driving organizers behind nearly every impressive collective’s efforts, it’s pretty simple – the joy of the season. “It’s just for people to be happy and bring some spirit into it,� Perry Cavalieri, a resident on the 1600 block of South 13th Street, said. He and a small group of block leaders have been dragging out the ladders, hanging precarious strings of lights, and encouraging more and more participation for nearly 23 years. “The things you hear coming up the street, they love it, thank you so much, this is the greatest – we’ve had people from Minnesota, San Francisco, even England,� Cavalieri said. “It’s a South Philly thing. There’s no competition as long as it makes people happy.� They tick off the previously-mentioned shoutouts from media and, Cavalieri’s wife Kim and daughter Renata have been pitching in to make it bigger and better every year. “We even have a hashtag (#MiracleOnSouth13thStreet),� Kim Cavalieri said. Renata pulled out her smartphone and showed this journalist a photo of Rozes, a singer who’s featured on The Chainsmokers’ current hit “Roses,� who shared a portrait in the middle of 13th Street one week ago. But it could be said that newcomer Alex Du, who has been on the block for almost a dozen years, is who kicked it up a notch. When he and his wife Natalie moved into the house he grew up on and they witnessed what had become a well-known holiday sensation, Du went for it. “When we got married and the first year we got here I decided to just go big,� he said. “Babe, I’m going to [Clark] Griswold [of ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation fame] it.�

“SPIRIT, TRADITION, FAMILY,� Jennifer Miller, a nearly 15-year resident of the 2700 block of South Smedley Street, said when prompted to suggest the reason for their block’s light display. “We all say it – we love to come home to our home and the lights at the end of the day.� Miller grew up at Fifth and Shunk streets and bought a house in New Jersey after getting married. But she quickly realized she wanted to come back to South Philly and, very specifically, to South Smedley Street. “When I moved back I told the realtor I wanted to be on the Christmas Street,� the Marconi dweller said. She’s noticed an up-tick in visitors over the last five years and attributes it primarily to social media.

Their display has been going strong for nearly twice as long as 13th Street’s – almost 65 years. Both displays have a GoFundMe set up to defray some of the electrical costs. Residents on both of these famous blocks have noted that real estate doesn’t last long (if it becomes available at all) once it makes it to the market. The Cavalieris note that their own home’s worth has taken off in two decades. Perry grew up one block away, and his siblings have stayed in the immediate neighborhood and, as he says, “when this house came up, we bought it right away.� Another nearby house was recently “sold in one day,� his spouse added. Miller reports a familiar trend. Houses “go up for sale and it’s sold as quick as it goes up.� She wasn’t able to move into the house

when she bought it almost 15 years ago but decorated it before she and her family had relocated to Smedley. Both blocks also throw a big bash in the form of a lighting, typically on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving. 13th Street brings out a Santa and the Grinch and when they finally made a slightly behind-schedule appearance, there were nearly 60 families waiting in the street. They bring out a food truck and make it a big event. Smedley, too. “We invite all of our friends with kids and close off the streets with hot chocolate, desserts, carolers and Santa,� Miller said. Renata Cavalieri went to local businesses and pitched sponsoring opportunities. A North Pole sign at the northwest corner of South 13th and Morris streets features signs pointing to nearby businesses: Birra, 1700 E. Passyunk Ave.; Stogie Joe’s Tavern, 1801 E. Passyunk Ave.; Stargazy, 1838 E. Passyunk Ave.; and Francoluigi’s Pizza, 1549 S. 13th St. IBEW Local 98 also gets a sign. The Cavalieris say they provide electrical support pro bono. Kim loves the idea that people come down to the Avenue and stroll down 13th Street after dinner. “It gives the businesses business, and they come to visit and spend their money down here, which helps,� she said. Kim Cavalieri and Miller had similar sentiments when it came to anyone who complains about traffic. They’re not having it. It’s here, so avoid it if you must is how they put it. No honking, please, it’s unnecessary. Let people enjoy their community’s hard work. “It’s nice to get the recognition, but it really comes down to the Christmas spirit, and we just want to share that with everyone,� Alex, whose twin two-year-old boys and sixyear-old daughter Olivia get into the spirit too, said. “For me, I’m already thinking about what to do next year.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

A Newbold inhabitant has become a notable combatant against HIV and AIDS through her Queen Village business. ÂŽĂŠ0g 8]aS^V ;gS`a Review Editor

A

elflessness can prove a hard sell in today’s tempting me-first climate, but count Christina Kallas-Saritsoglou among the ardent buyers of the belief that a life of service enriches one’s soul and promotes society’s evolution. With a conscience that calls for her to consider those deemed “less than,� the 48-year-old is marking her 10th anniversary as a co-founder and comanager of Philly AIDS Thrift, 7 1 0 S .

Fifth St., a local leader in the long-fought battle to add foes to the fight against HIV and AIDS. “My personal faith gives me direction and purpose,� the resident of Broad and Wolf streets said from her Queen Village establishment. “Because of that, I feel called to serve, and this location gives me an unbeatable way to do that.� Through her compassion and concern and the efforts of roughly 120 volunteers and workers, the Newbold dweller has become a charitable champion, who, along with winning admiration as a proprietor, has claimed kudos as a humanitarian whose efforts have endowed Philadelphia-region organizations with more than $1.3 million. After a decade of diligence, she looks forward to more endeavors that will help to remove stigmas from those contending with HIV or AIDS. “I’m never content,� Kallas-Saritsoglou said. “We’ve come a long way in looking for solutions to the diseases and to reducing the hatred toward LGBT individuals, and members of that community have gained amazing victories like the right to marry, but there must be more advocacy.� Come Christmas, the forthright figure will tally another win in her quest to contribute answers, as the store’s HIV testing center will turn six months old. The

B?<;IJOB;I newest element of the space dovetails with clothing items, antiques, books, paintings, and other goods to offer a mixture of acceptance and genuine enthusiasm for patrons’ willingness to add their dollars and cents to matters far beyond the pursuit of making a living. “Yes, I am a business owner, but nobody here is in this for himself or herself,� the co-head said. “We’re here to give and to encourage the philosophy that we’re all in this life together, regardless of sexual orientation, and that we need people in our corner no matter our social standing.� Those stances come across as particularly powerful at this time of year, as the Christmas season compels many to give thanks for their blessings and leads others to fall prey to their misgivings. Fully aware of that blend of experiences and attitudes, Kallas-Saritsoglou wants for her operation always to reflect the notion that one must perpetually pursue more means to obtain fuller narratives and shun cursory interpretations of who people are and what dominion anyone can seek to have over them. This allegiance to acceptance comes through most evidently through her

philanthropic nature, with the proprietor eager to continue to help 19 organizations and their beneficiaries to find durable joy even within dark moments. “I’ve always felt a desire to give back and to improve the lives of others,� KallasSaritsoglou said. “Through my 10 years with Philly AIDS Thrift, I believe I’ve taken some good tiny steps, and I know the journey is going to continue to be an affirmation of the mind-set that in giving, we receive.� THE VIBRANT PERSONALITY has always aspired to live a life that preaches inclusivity, with her initial aspirations centering on the possibilities of pondering her artistic potential. She also nurtured friendships within the gay community in Reading and often witnessed the staggering degree of opposition that its constituents encountered. “There were people whose families kicked them out because of their realization of who they were,� Kallas-Saritsoglou said of unpleasant reflections of life in Bucks County. “My mother took many of them in and had such a caring heart in

understanding their situation. As a business manager, I definitely feel her influence in striving to advocate for tolerance and humane appreciation of everyone.� Familiar with the city through adolescent ventures here, she explored her creative talent through The Art Institute of Philadelphia but did not see a distinct future in the field and soon after entered into the realm that has proven so rewarding and refreshing. Her distinguished immersion into an other-centered existence has bred interactions with the Diabolique Foundation, the AIDS Information Network, the Youth Health Empowerment Project, and the AIDS Library. Her cumulative efforts also led to her 2013 distinction as the Ally Award winner from the Mazzoni Center and have earned her respect as someone who puts dignity way before dollars. “All walks of life come through here,� Kallas-Saritsoglou said as she passed by a sign bearing the amount of money that her site has sent along to fellow admirers of altruism. “There’s no judgment within these walls, and that’s how it should be in the world, too.� Perennially refraining from feeling that

people should see their interior makeup as inferior to that of those with more opportunity and renown, she yearns for all of her contacts, colleagues, and customers to forge personal definitions of happiness and perseverance. Having lived in South Philly with husband Bobby for six years, she has come to see the environs as an incredible example of the benefits of lending an ear to hear someone’s problems and the amazing gifts that can come out of transforming those dire situations into outstanding displays of courage and conviction. “It’s easy to forget about people; that’s no secret,� Kallas-Saritsoglou said. “We can all be more powerful and empowering, though, if we step away from all that and give the gift of ourselves. That’s what compels me not only as a store operator but as a human being. Like everyone, I’m a work in progress.� SPR Visit phillyaidsthrift.com.

the Eagles season. I balked at first, as I had never worked on a big time station and had not worked in radio in 20 years. Merrill assured me I had the goods and arranged an audition for me. I got the job, largely, I think, because of Merrill’s strong recommendation to the program director. Despite its incredible record of success, WIP was in trouble. Tastes were changing. Folks were no longer swooning over Karen Carpenter, especially on AM radio, where many stations were turning to news and talk shows. The wonderful Ken Garland was getting grumpy. They were messing with the music he played, and now an inexperienced bumbler in his mid-30s was being placed squarely in his studio Tuesdays to mess with his mind. That first morning with Ken is still fresh in my mind. Up at 3:30 AM. Chasing the cab sent to pick me up down the street because my address is difficult to find. Walking into Garland’s studio with my two- minute script. Ken ticked off because he was being forced to insert a Bruce Springsteen song between Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. I walked into the studio two minutes before my allotted time. Ken looked up at me with a scowl on his face and said, “What the hell are you doing here now?� Me responding off the air in a whimper that I was there to do the sports. Ken reminding me that I had enough time before the sports was due to shave and change my socks and for me to get the hell out of his studio. Me, looking for some place to retreat, finding a nearby restroom where I hid for 80 seconds before returning to the studio. I wasn’t very good at first. Doing sports and bantering with the perfectionist Garland, who could turn the charm on and off like someone tending to a light switch, was not easy, yet I eventually became more relaxed. I developed an off-the-air rapport with Garland. We both loved the big band era. I grew to appreciate Ken as the consummate professional. The station extended my stay after my fill-in status for Reese was over by adding me as a fill-in on weekends for former Eagle Stan Walters. I got to work with the bighearted Wee Willie and the silky smooth Lamaine, who had apparently sensed that times were changing. Took meteorology classes. Got hired as a Channel 3 weatherman. WIP forced Lamaine to choose between his new job and working there as a DJ, so he left. I was there the sad day they fired Tom Moran, who had just returned from vacation, as the station began to shed its big salaries. The winds of change were blowing through WIP. I saw it all go down. SPR

s things would turn out, I would get only one more opportunity to do basketball play-by-play after the Saint Joe’s gig. That would come in 1966 when I shared the microphone with my long-time friend Merrill Reese, who, of course, is known today as the beloved voice of the Eagles. We combined on play-by-play of weekly Big 5 games on WHAT-AM from the storied Palestra. Unfortunately, I became seriously ill and kidney surgery cut short my involvement just three games into the season. Merrill and I remain best friends, and he became instrumental in my making a return to broadcasting after about a 20-year absence. Whether I quit the business in the mid-’60s or rather it quit me, I took a steady job with paid benefits to raise a family and became resigned to the fact that maybe a life in broadcasting just wasn’t going to happen for me. Meanwhile, Merrill’s career took off like a rocket. During my years in radio exile, he had become the legendary Eagles broadcaster that he is today. All through those years, he insisted that I should get back into broadcasting, and I studiously ignored him, perhaps fearing the heartbreak I might again experience and the loss of security it would mean for my family, which now included a child. It wasn’t that I hadn’t tried. I had made an unsuccessful attempt to land a sports anchor job on a new Philly UHF TV station. In addition, I had a job interview for a job on ABC’s iconic Wide World of Sports, where I was turned down because I was married. The interviewer told me that the job required one to keep bags packed. ABC wasn’t in the business of breaking up marriages. And then in ’83, I suddenly found myself back in the broadcasting business, and on a much bigger stage. Merrill had become involved in doing a Monday night gig that left him precious little time for sleep to get ready for Tuesday mornings on WIP. The station was still playing middle-of-the-road music at that time. WIP was one of the nation’s oldest and most successful stations. The disc jockeys were top professionals, and their names read like a plaque in broadcasting’s Hall of Fame - Ken Garland, Wee Willie Weber, the same irrepressible Tom Moran whom I had worked with in Wildwood, Tom Lamaine, and Nat Wright. Merrill needed someone to do his Tuesday morning sports Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ once a week for the eight remaining weeks of cardella.

othing can conquer the compelling nature of cookies during the Christmas season, but cake likes to offer some competition as people plot their dessert options for their celebrations. Diane Pecca, of the 2300 block of South 16th Street, helps to crumble cookies’ sway with her Blueberry/Lemon Bundt Cake recipe. The Girard Estate inhabitant, no stranger to this section of the paper, realizes that this time of year should be mainly about comfort and camaraderie. The assortment of components of this cake takes care of the first part, and regardless of whether you are playing host or serving as a guest come next Friday, her brainchild will certainly cement your appreciation of the latter.

aving won catering duties for the Oct. 31 clash between Temple University and the University of Notre Dame at Lincoln Financial Field, 1020 Pattison Ave., John Bucci reveled again Saturday at the facility, as he helped the College GameDay crew and the Cadets and Midshipmen from the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy to feast as they watched the latest rendition of the facilities’ football rivalry. “It was an overwhelmingly patriotic event to be a part of,� the proprietor of John’s Roast Pork, 14 Snyder Ave., said of his involvement with the 116th game between the academies, which Navy won, 21-17. “I learned about the opportunity four days before and initially had some worry, but I thought ‘I can do this’ and had outstanding help in putting it all together.� The native of the 2300 block of South Rosewood Street has won acclaim for his 85-year-old site’s titular item, but that was not the sole option for his guests, who also feasted on ribs, shrimp, stromboli, pizza, meatballs, and stuffed shells. Bucci noted that he is looking for a beneficiary for the proceeds from the unrivaled experience, with the Wounded Warrior Project as the likely recipient. “What a wonderful day we had with the great action and wonderful weather!� the businessman exclaimed. “It was my pleasure to serve those who serve us every day.� By Joseph Myers SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

ew Jersey has won over the will of numerous South Philly natives, leading them to purchase homes and/or establish businesses within its expanse. As tempting as The Garden State often proves, it could not convince Nick Maiale Jr. to abandon his abode, and since 1997, locals have loved reaping the rewards of his decision, consistently courting the wares at Lil’ Nick’s Deli, 1311 W. Moyamensing Ave. “There’s a different vibe here for sure, and I wanted to explore that,� the 46-yearold proprietor said. “The more I interact with everyone, the more I feel grateful for sticking with my roots.� The resident of the 1200 block of Jackson Street moved operations to the present site in 2008, having helmed his brainchild on South Rosewood and Jackson streets for the initial 11 years. Having had exciting exposure to food preparation through his patriarch, the owner of the adjacent Big Nick’s, he craved his own space and has delighted denizens with his homemade products for nearly two decades. That dedication to detail has bred an amazing sense of camaraderie, with Maiale pointing out with pride how he has watched families continue to count on him as the years have unfolded. “I feel really good about what we do here,� the Lower Moyamensing inhabitant said. “These are foods that many people grew up eating, and I know they could go elsewhere, so I’m grateful.� Maiale, who acknowledged mother Arlene as another inspiration, confessed that when he began his journey, he had difficulty even preparing toast. With a burning desire to improve, he has evolved into

a reliable sandwich and hoagie maker and agreed to share his site’s South Philly Cutlet recipe. “These ingredients are amazing together, so we really want to get them right every time,� he said of the constituents of the offering, which teams with the Meatball Pizzazz sandwich and A Touch of Italy specialty hoagie to form a triumvirate of treasured treats. “We have regulars who live by this, so it’s great to keep them satisfied. It’s that time of year when people want great options, so I’m thankful that they think of us.�

DIRECTIONS: Bread the cutlets, and pan fry them, ensuring that they are cooked thoroughly. Broil the broccoli rabe for three minutes, and sautĂŠ it for two minutes. Place the cutlets on a long roll, and add olive oil, fresh garlic, salt, and pepper. Finish with the cheese. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you and whispered “Come to Me�. In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken; you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back to suffer so again. So keep your arms around him Lord, and give him special care. Make up for all he suffered and all that seemed unfair.

We love you so much, Your loving wife Diana, and children; Mary Lou, Lisa, Jeanette, Marco, Louie and grandson Louis.

Of all the special gifts in life However great or small To have you as my son Was the greatest gift of all. A special time A special face A special son I can’t replace, With an aching heart I whisper low I miss you son And love you so. My angel up in heaven, I wanted you to know, I feel you watching over me, everywhere I go. I wish you were here with me, but that can never be, Memories of you in my heart, that only I can see. My angel up in heaven, I hope you understand, That I would give you anything, if I could hold your hand. I’d hold you oh so tightly, and never let you go, And all the love inside me, to you I would show. My angel up in heaven, for now we are apart, You’ll always live inside of me, deep within my heart. Love, Dad

We know we’ll see you again, God called you home on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, you are with Our Blessed Mother Mary now.

Your True Friend Always!

In Loving Memory To My Wonderful Son

The resident of the 1000 block of Tasker Street noted the increase in her average as proof of her personal growth and nodded when fellow senior Maci Torres divulged that the young ladies know how to be better banishers of letdowns and doubts. “We have more maturity this time, definitely,� the Bella Vista presence said. “There are going to be ups and downs the whole year, even during a match, so a positive attitude is going to help us to deal with that better.� Derago and Torres serve as captains with senior Brianne Jewitt, who, like the latter local, has obtained All-Catholic status. Along with their parochial slate success, the adolescents added distinction the last two years with participation in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament. “There’s a big incentive because we’re seniors,� Jewitt, a West Philly dweller, said of seeing their maturity as a major factor in their hopes of knocking off heavyweights Little Flower and St. Hubert’s. “It’s pretty neat that we have a

new coach to help us to enjoy our last season.� “I really want to help to get them over that semifinal hump,� Gagliardi said. “If they keep growing no matter if they win or lose, that reliance on one another and themselves is going to pay dividends. For me, too, I’m reading about how to become a better coach and motivator because this is important to them. The school has had recent success, and I’d love to help even more people come to think of it as a program and not as an activity.� THE LIFELONG SOUTH Philly inhabitant initiated his interest in bowling at age 9 and loved being able to share the game with his family, particularly his father, Chuck, an esteemed broadcaster whose affinity for the pastime includes stints as a manager at Oregon Bowling Lanes, formerly 24th Street and Oregon Avenue, and a coach at St. John Neumann High School, formerly 26th and Moore streets. When attending the Grays Ferry-situated institution, the younger Gagliardi continued his immersion as a practitioner,

ith the big 4-0 a little under 10 months away, Charlie Gagliardi knows the value of constantly striving to better oneself and of not succumbing to the pressure that external factors love to place on one’s resolve. Eager to share his ever-burgeoning wisdom, the resident of the 1200 block of Shunk Street is enjoying his inaugural season as the John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School varsity bowling head coach. “I fully believe in them and want to be a stable influence on them,� the rookie leader said Monday at St. Monica Lanes, 1601 Shunk St., where the Center Citybased squad contests its home matches, including yesterday’s tilt versus Cardinal O’Hara. “I’m excited to keep them growing so that they can forget about old obstacles and go after their dreams.� The Lower Moyamensing dweller scored his position early last month and immediately set himself to pondering how he could help his charges to become a more potent opponent within the Catholic League. With solid senior leadership, the team has begun to believe that come mid-February, its camaraderie and competitive drive could produce a championship. “We expected to come in third in the past,� senior Alexa Derago said of the unit that advanced to the league semifinals the last two years. “We have more faith in ourselves now, and we expect more from ourselves.�

eventually obtaining co-captain distinction as a senior. “Friendships really helped me to get more interested because there really is strength in numbers, and that helps at those times when your confidence might be low because your scores are, too,� he said. Gagliardi served as an assistant coach at his alma mater during his matriculation at Temple University and has continued to spare no expense to maximize his enjoyment in venturing to St. Monica Lanes and acting as the president of another league based out of Westbrook Lanes in Brooklawn, N.J. Having received outreach from Hallahan personnel in September, he touted his enthusiasm for empowering the teenagers to topple the aforementioned North Philly and Northeast Philly institutions and revels in instructing girls for the first time. “There’s a different dynamic in that I think guys let stuff eat away at them if they don’t pick up spares or have a bad series, for example,� he said. “These girls are very resilient and can recover quickly. That’s always going to be an impressive feat.� The coach pointed to Dec. 10’s visit to St. Hubert’s, a trip that resulted in a 3-1 loss, as a test that will benefit the players later in the year, particularly Jan.. 20 when the lauded adversaries come to South Philly. Standing at 6-6 ahead of yesterday’s matchup against O’Hara, the roster members know not to think too far ahead, lest their goals go in the gutter. “We want to be there at the end,� Torres, who finished 22nd in last season’s state tournament, said, “but every practice and every match are what count, not what’s coming a week or two months from now.� “We take pride in representing Hallahan,� Jewitt added. “We have to be patient because we know people are going to focus on St. Hubert’s and Little Flower. We want to be in the conversation, too, and I think we will be.� SPR
