Vol. 67 NO. 44 ■ October 30, 2014
■ By Bill ChenevertReview Staff Writer
Philadelphia is growing. To complicate things, a few things are making our growth a little more complicated and presenting new challenges. A few staggering facts: between 2006 and ’12,
our city has grown by 58,897 to 1,547,607, according to recent Census estimates; Philadelphia is ranked the ninth-most racially segregated metro area in Ameri-ca; and federal standards characterize 26.9 percent of residents as poor.
These are a few facts that Earni Young dug up, a
reporter for the Daily News, whose lead feature on Gentri� cation last week focused on Graduate Hos-pital and Point Breeze. One compelling assertion is that “1,097 vacant lots and buildings [are] scattered throughout [Point Breeze, between Washington Ave. and Mif� in St. and S. Broad and S. 25th streets, which] mean there is plenty of room for growth.”
Yvette Ousley, an Assistant City Editor and the editor of this story package (as assigned by editor Michael Days), said they aimed “to assess the state of gentri� cation in Philadelphia and at the same time give people some tools to assist them as their neigh-borhoods are undergoing change.” “It’s very much
about economics,” she added. “Part of what we tried to do was deal with the fact that people coming into neighborhoods are certainly welcome to do that and more people coming to develop helps, but at the same time, we wanted to give people tools to stay in those neighborhoods because if those people stay, then you have diverse neighborhoods.”
Adding some great context, the Francisville resident said “we also tried to move away from the idea that gentrifying neighborhoods, whatever color they are, are victims. The people currently in these neighbor-

The gentrifi cation of South Philly
A local news feature package dwells in Point Breeze and points to tools for folks feeling pushed out.
The 1600 block of Latona Street currently has three active and as many pending construction projects. Point Breeze is rapidly changing, and residents are considering consequences.

To the Editor:Mr. Cardella claims that Leif
Erikson found this land before Christopher Columbus (“In Oc-tober, Oct. 23). Who cares? It’s the accomplishment that counts. Babe Ruth was the � rst player to hit 60 home runs. Others have done the same. The only differ-ence is that Ruth did it playing fewer games and with a softer ball. When Columbus came here, the Native Americans were already here. Maybe they were � rst. That doesn’t matter. Did Leif Erikson give his � ndings to the world? It’s like a doctor � nding a cure for a disease and not telling anyone. What good is it then? Spain and Columbus gave it to the world.
Vincent DiPietroSouth Philadelphia
Contractual conundrumAmidst the potpourri of com-
ments in Tom Cardella’s sardonic ode to autumn (“October” Oct. 23), he includes the unilateral can-cellation by the School Reform Commission of its status quo con-tract with district teachers. Tom correctly points out that teachers in Philly, as part of a wage agree-ment, had traded lower salaries for free medical bene� ts. This contract was supposedly signed in good faith, and the Philadelphia Federa-tion of Teachers expected the SRC to honor it.
Except, in the present � scal crisis, which the teachers did not create, what Tom calls the “School ‘De-struction’ Commission” sneaked behind everyone’s back and unani-mously canceled the contract and demanded partial payment of pre-miums, with no raises.
Anyone who works under a la-bor contract needs to be alarmed by these events. In fact, thousands of union workers showed up at the district’s headquarters Oct. 16 to
protest this blatant disregard for labor law. Later, the PFT took the SRC to court and won the � rst round of legal battles with a court injunction against the contract cancellation.
It is irrelevant whether teachers should, would or could pay for their medical insurance premiums. A contract is a contract, and once a contract is broken, all trust goes out the window.

Thankful thinkingTo the Editor:
We are writing to give a large “Thank you” to Pathmark and all the members of the community who donated school supplies to John H. Taggart School. We re-ceived several large boxes full of all the things our students and staff needed to get their school year off to a great start. Many of our fami-lies cannot afford to get all the things their children need when school begins. Your donations re-ally made a huge difference by
helping our students be prepared for class. We applaud everyone’s support and appreciate your gen-erosity.

The wheel dealTo the Editor:
In response to the recent com-ments from Kenneth Veith (“Mo-tioning for ground rules,” Oct. 16), I cannot agree more.
I live and drive in South Phila-delphia. Most of my fellow drivers obey the “rules of the road,” which include stopping at red lights and “Stop” signs and going in the same direction as traf� c. Many cyclists feel these rules do not apply to them.
While drivers are looking for traf� c going in the correct direc-tions, some cyclists zip through lights and “Stop” signs and go in the opposite direction. At night, many do not have re� ective ma-terial on their bodies or bikes. Between them and people who walk across streets without look-ing, it has become more stressful for drivers. Not all motorists are perfect, but most cyclists are not blameless either.

Doubly dangerous
Two offenders left a man bruised and shot in Queen Village Saturday.
■ By Joseph MyersReview Managing Ed itor
At approximately 2:41 a.m., police responded to the 200 block of Car-penter Street for a report of a shoot-ing, Detective Danielle Tolliver of
South Detective Division said. There they met with the complainant, who stated that he had been walking toward Second Street from the 100 block of Carpenter Street when two � gures approached him.
The � rst, armed with a handgun, barked “You know what you did, you son of a bitch,” with the accomplice striking him in the upper torso area with a bat. As the victim attempted to escape, the vocal ag-gressor gave chase and � red two shots at him when he was on the 100 block of Car-penter Street, with one bullet striking his left leg, Tolliver said.
A medical unit provided transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for the man, who described the shooter as a white male, 45 to 50 years old; having a stocky build and a bald head; and wear-ing a blue waist-length jacket; and the bat wielder as a white female with brown, shoulder-length curly hair; and wearing a similar jacket.

Trickster treats her-self
Police are hoping to hook a woman who stole Halloween decorations in Lower Moyamensing last week.
At 3:24 a.m. Oct. 23, surveillance video captured the female driving past a resi-dence on the 1100 block of Fitzgerald Street, authorities said. Soon after, the vehicle again drove by the quarters, with the woman subsequently removing Hal-loween decorations from the front steps before � eeing in an unknown direction.

Alleged burglar caught
Authorities ar-rested a Southwest Philly man for sup-posedly burglariz-ing a Grays Ferry
car facility. As � rst reported in the Oct. 23 South
Philly Review as “Breaker, breaker,” surveillance video caught the image of a man entering the fenced parking lot of All City Rental, 1320 S. War� eld St., on Oct. 7. The footage showed him searching for a vehicle’s keys after spending several minutes breaking into an of� ce trailer. He then used the automobile to ram the se-curity gate open before escaping with an accomplice, whose image the footage did not capture, in a second ride. Authorities later recovered the mode of transportation on the 2500 block of South 58th Street in Southwest Philly.
On Oct. 17, a police of� cer was able to identify Rashad Wroten as the depicted � gure and contacted South Detectives. Without incident, he then arrested the 27-year-old at his home on Oct. 22. Au-thorities charged Wroten with burglary and related offenses, and he awaits a Nov. 13 preliminary hearing.
Registering the scenePolice are seeking a fearless female who
robbed a Point Breeze eatery last week.The bartender at Lids Cafe, 2243 Tasker
St., told authorities that at 12:50 a.m. Oct. 20, a woman entered the establishment, walked behind the bar and demanded the employee to open the cash register, Detec-tive Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The worker, who observed that the woman had her hand in a tote bag and gestured as if she had a � rearm, com-plied, with the offender taking approxi-mately $250 before � eeing in an unknown direction and by an unknown method. The bartender described her as black and 5-foot-4 to 5-foot-6; having a thin build; carrying a black tote bag; and wearing gloves and a scarf that covered her face.

after ridding a West Passyunk site of a cash register’s contents two weeks ago.
At 10:39 a.m. Oct. 16, surveillance video captured an unknown male entering Dollar General, 2120 S. 23rd St. He immediately went behind the counter with a hand inside his hooded sweatshirt to simulate that he had a � rearm. An employee opened a cash register drawer, and the thief made off with an undisclosed amount of money before � eeing in an unknown direction.

Bloody ordealA man lost blood and a chain in a Lower
Moyamensing-situated assault Sunday.While walking on the 1000 block of
Emily Street at 12:25 a.m., the complain-ant had a man on a bicycle approach him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South De-tective Division said. Hitting him in the face with an unknown object, a blow that drew blood from his nose, the aggressor snatched a chain from his victim’s neck and attempted to � ee on his bike.
The complainant, who received trans-port to Methodist Hospital for unspeci� ed injuries, knocked the ne’er-do-well from the ride, but he still managed to run away, Tolliver said. He described him as white, 30-40 years old and approximately 6 foot; having a thin build and dark curly hair; be-ing unshaven; wearing a black T-shirt and tan shorts; and armed with an unknown object.

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

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

The masterminds be-hind the New Year’s Day celebration are touting community
involvement.
■ By Jim JuliaReview S p ec i al C o ntr ibutor
If you live in South Philly or have a rela-tive or friend who is a Mummer, some-one has probably asked for you to take a ticket to a raffl e or a fund-raising event
at a clubhouse. Yes, since City and State entities have cut or eliminated funding, the Mummers are on their own, and self-fund-ing is crucial to survival.
But while it may seem they are constant-ly fund-raising, look more closely, and you will see that despite these trying times, the Mummers are still very much involved with community charities, always willing to give their time and efforts to help others who are in need. Below are just some of the community events the Mummers Brigade Division has been a part of in the past year.
I can assure you all � ve Mummer Divisions could supply the same type of list.
Spartans Fancy Brigade: 2014 marked their � rst year as a brigade. With all the work required of a new organization, they still found the resources to award mul-tiple scholarships by age category. They requested the submission of essays on the topic “What does the American � ag mean to you?”
Mummers Brigade Association: Part-nered with the South Philly Review to sponsor an essay contest for elementary school students. The prize was to be se-lected as a guest judge at the ’14 Brigade Finale for the � rst show at the Pennsylva-nia Convention Center.
Golden Crown Fancy Brigade: Mem-bers helped the Navy Supply Corps to cel-ebrate their 215th Birthday at a Ball-Dance Party at the Union League in Center City Philadelphia. The members of Golden Crown brought a touch of Philadelphia to the festivities.
Bill McIntyre’s Shooting Stars: The Stars coordinated and collected 1,358 pounds of food in their � rst annual “Strut against Hunger” food drive in support of Philabundance, 3616 S. Galloway St., the
city’s largest hunger relief organization.Downtowners Fancy Brigade: The
Downtowners partnered with A&E Cloth-ing Corporation to donate 1,955 pounds of lightly used clothing in their 1st Annual Clothing Drive. A&E works speci� cally with local charities, clubs and schools to provide clothing to those in need.
2nd Street Shooters: The Shooters par-
ticipated and entertained in the Philadel-phia Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s “Philly Great Stride” event. Again, the Mummers provided the � avor of Philadelphia to the event as only they can.
Mummers Brigade Association: As part of its “Fancy Brigade Weekend in North Wildwood,” the Brigade donated $1,600 in shirt sales for breast cancer research. Again, members selected a local organiza-tion, Debbie’s Friends Fund, which raises funds to help relieve the � nancial burden felt by many families affected by breast cancer.
So, the next time a Mummer asks for help in a fund-raising endeavor, just know that you are most likely supporting an organi-zation that is heavily involved in your com-munity. If interested in making a charitable donation to any of the causes listed above, please contact the associated brigade, or contact the Brigade Association via fancy-brigade.com. SPR
Jim Julia is the president of the Phil-adelphia Mummers Fancy Brigade As-sociation.

A big reason to smile A local dentist
picked up a pres-tigious award in
Japan. ■ By Christopher Isaac
R evi ew Intern
The residents of Philadelphia can likely tell you themselves what Dr. Norman Tabas, a dentist in the city since 1980, has done to help them. However, it
was Oct. 3, in Tokyo, Japan, that he re-ceived recognition from his peers for his work.
The International Congress of Oral Im-plantologists (ICOI) World Congress XXXI took place in the capital city, with nearly 1,500 dentists from around the world attending, and Tabas was one of the 60 honorees being recognized with awards for their endeavors.
Tabas, whose of� ce is located at 2534 S. Broad St., said of being awarded the ICOI Fellowship, “It’s nice to be recognized for
your accomplishments. That’s always a good feeling.”
The 59-year-old has been surgically plac-ing implants for the last 18 years, and had to submit 20 completed cases that cor-
responded with various criteria from the ICOI committee, such as the implants hav-ing been in place for more than a year.
Explaining the system for the award, Ta-bas said, “It’s almost like if you were a col-lege student, there’s levels going up. So to get your bachelor’s degree, you have a cer-tain number of course requirements, and for your master’s, you’ll have your thesis.”
The Fellowship also requires dentists do-ing implant work to advance their educa-tion continuously by taking courses each year in Europe, Asia or North America, de-pending on which location is hosting that year.
Describing the advancements the profes-sion has seen since he started, Tabas said, “The technology’s just unlike anything else. It’s like my old computer from the 1990s would be an antique now, too.”
He explained that while some of these de-velopments are merely cosmetic, that there have been huge practical strides as well. When it once could have taken months for a patient to wear his or her new implant, it is now possible for some to begin wearing the addition within a single day.
Even with all of his professional travel
experience, Tabas has never thought of leaving home with his profession. He has been in South Philly for 30 years now, and has never pondered departing from the en-virons to practice dentistry elsewhere.
“I started here in the early 1980s, and I never really wanted to be anywhere else,” the Philadelphia native said. “I liked it here.”
Another reason to stay might be that even though Tabas has seen leading research de-velopments from all around the world, he says America is the best for looking out for its patients and keeping them safe.
Though the technology may advance and change, the people stay the same and keep Tabas happy in his profession.
“I like working with people,” he said. “I didn’t want to be buried in a back of� ce somewhere and not seeing anybody all day.”
Judging by the success of his practice for the last few decades, it’s probably safe to say Dr. Tabas makes his patients happy, too. SPR

hoods have choices – they can sell for lots of money or they can stay,” posited Ousley.
Anne Kelly King, a Girard Estate native who works for 1st District City Councilman Mark Squilla as his chief of staff, said “mostly what we’ve been dealing with regarding gen-tri� cation has been Real Estate Tax adjust-ment through the Actual Value Initiative and providing as many resources as we can for long-term and senior residents.” It’s one of the nastiest by-products of developing neigh-borhoods: young folks with money coming in and building, pushing up market values and negatively affecting folks who paid for their house decades ago but are feeling the tax heat.
“It’s a hard issue. There’s good people on both sides of this,” Beth McConnell, the Pol-icy Director for the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations (PACDC), said. “The senior who paid off her mortgage 20 to 30 years ago and is on a � xed income and all she can afford is her taxes – what can she do?” Or there may be folks who “inherited a house for $1 and are working three part-time or full-time jobs and they’re struggling to avoid utilities,”
There are a great deal of resources available to long-term residents to offset the burden of reassessed home values. For a home owner like Alda Ballard on Catharine Street, whose home was assessed at $27,100 in 2012 and now it’s $420,000 after 70 years in the neigh-borhood, there are options like the Longtime Owner-Occupants Program and the Home-stead Exemption.
But as Ousley hammered home, this is not only about race. “This is not a black is-sue solely. There are people in Fishtown and Northern Liberties who are being moved as
well.”POINT BREEZE MAY be ground zero for gen-
tri� cation in South Philly, but it’s not the only neighborhood affected. The largest pressures of development typically come as a result of being close to Center City, where jobs, busi-nesses and services are � ourishing.
Bella Vista clocks in as the highest in the Top 10 increasing rents, according to the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania’s Fels Institute, with a 46 percent increase in rent. Queen Village-Pennsport, at eight, went up 28 percent; East Passyunk went up 25 percent; and Point Breeze also went up 25 percent. Coinciden-tally, there are no South Philly neighborhoods in the Bottom 10 neighborhoods (where rent is generally steady or declining).
“I would say that the majority of change that’s going on in our neighborhood has been about rehabbing and remodeling exist-ing homes,” said Levana Layendecker, the president of the Newbold Civic Association
and resident of the 2200 block of South Hicks Street. Their civic focuses on the southern portion of Newbold: Broad to 18th and Tasker to Wolf streets.
“The bigger challenge is that there are a number of vacant homes that are in need of repair, and we’ve seen most of the new neigh-bors coming in and � xing up old houses and I think that’s the natural cycle of life in the neighborhood,” Layendecker said. Newer residents sometimes help with cleanups and patrols, something older residents appreciate.
Layndecker hopes the AVI move and tax hikes will help the City provide essential utili-ties. “A lot of the properties were undervalued for so long, so at some point the market will catch up and frankly, a lot of our problems in the city are because the City hasn’t been able to collect taxes and fund our budget to do ba-sic things like street cleanups and quality of life things that people need like schools and recreation areas and policing,” she argued.
Claudia Sherrod, the Executive Director of South Philadelphia Homes, Inc., 1444 Point Breeze Ave., has called 21st and Federal streets home for 55 years. So she’s seen a ton of change – “oh yes,” she agreed. “It’s getting better now but it was a long time before the city would pay us due diligence. But all the market rate houses are going up, and we’re getting an abundance of help,” she explained. They deliver services for hungry, frustrated and under-worked neighbors. She wants to give people “the tools to defend this crazy en-vironment we live in. Sometimes you’re down because there’s no one there to help you pick yourself up.” One of her of� ce’s invaluable re-sources is helping draw up wills and deeds for residents, a kiss of death to be avoided, some-thing called Tangled Titles.
McConnell and the PACDC have been ad-vocating for a City-run Land Bank that would coordinate the management, approvals and development plans of empty, privately-owned and City-owned blighted properties.
“We’re an old city with a lot of tangled titles,” McConnell said, and the “Land Bank will be trying to streamline that process,” she explained, noting that the City’s Of� ce of Public Property, The Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation and the Philadel-phia Redevelopment Authority own all aban-doned lots and properties.
“Let’s acquire these private properties and make them available for affordable housing,” she said, adding she and her team look at growth not as dangerous but as an opportu-nity for improvement: “There’s a real sense of ‘Not Again,’” referring to folks who watched everyone � ee to the suburbs and now return to shift violently the neighborhood dynam-ics again. “We want to use growth not to deepen economic segregation but to attackit.” SPR

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

Thoroughly thrilled to be an admirer and a practitioner of the disciplines, Batta-glia, long a lover of having music center on happiness and ease, contends that no matter the circumstances or the setting, he will arrive with his customary abundance of camaraderie and sincerity. Once a South Philly staple, the performer � gures this rare appearance in his stomping grounds will prove equally compelling.
“I often tell people I’m from North Wild-wood and have a winter home in South Philly,” he joked. “Seriously, though, this is going to be a blast. Hopefully, this could be the start of something good. I’d love to pull this off again and again.”
THE GREGARIOUS NATIVE honed his infatu-ation with music through mother Vicki Battaglia, a highly respected piano teach-er, and uncle Vincent LaSpada, who, as “Jimmy Saunders,” crafted a renowned big band career that included co-writing “Peach Tree Street” with Frank Sinatra. Songs came to dominate his days when he attended Bishop Neumann High School, with his ambition leading to the creation of dances for school-based gatherings.
“I was always interested in being a sing-er/songwriter,” Battaglia, who had his � rst tune published and produced at age 16,
said of his early comprehension of his ca-reer’s possibilities. “It’s been an interest-ing journey, and I never grow tired of put-ting out what I feel is the best that I have to give.”
Powerless against the lure of vocal dis-covery and instrumental expression, he began playing in clubs down the Jersey Shore at 17 and made most of the next three decades an exploration of music as an emollient for even the worst case of the doldrums.
“I feel very fortunate I had so many positive experiences in my youth,” Batta-glia, who also attended Settlement Music School’s Mary Louise Curtis Branch, 416 Queen St., and Temple University, the latter connecting him with blue-eyed soul icons Daryl Hall and John Oates, said. “When you’re lucky enough as a kid to know what you really wish to do, you’ll usually stop at nothing to make it happen.”
Supplementing his � nances with week-end music gigs, he eventually wandered into the realm of real estate, but that uni-verse fostered frequent frustration, even prompting him to say he will not need to spend time in purgatory because St. Pe-ter will know he suffered enough. While many people apprehensively approached the turn of the century because of expect-
ed computer glitches, he turned the feared year into a transformative one, with 2000 spawning his identity as “Philly Cuzz.” That moniker became of� cial with the re-lease of his � rst album, “On the Way to Cape May,” which consisted of a Bobby Darin-type arrangement of the title track. Four years later, the success of his single “One Summer Night” launched him into the national spotlight, with Sirius XM playing his South Jersey beach music of-ferings and doo-wop pieces.
“I’m so thankful for the exposure, par-ticularly because what I create considers what people listen to in order to feel good,” Battaglia, whose acclaim took him to Las Vegas, where he fraternized with fellow crooner and South Philly native Tony Sacca, said. “Personally, it’s great to have my name out there. It’s greater, though, to make friends and put out good work.”
With additional milestones including emcee duties for the North Wildwood-sit-uated Italian Festival and singing engage-ments at the Red Bank, N.J.-based Count Basie Theater, he has constantly married the notions of acquiring name recogni-tion and promoting his � eld’s history as a nurturer of heartfelt emotion and future as a source of tranquillity and civility. Never one to pigeonhole himself, though,
Battaglia has willingly courted placement in other branches of music, notably pen-ning children’s songs, a jingle for Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., and “Jersey Devil,” a musical that he is looking to adapt for the stage.
“The best vehicle for me in the future would be to write musicals,” he said. “I’m always thinking about how to convey all these ideas, and I’m liking the results. With ‘Jersey Devil,’ it’s like having a child and wanting to send him or her out into the world.”
With only two days remaining until the Neumann-Goretti show, Battaglia, whose nickname re� ects his identity as a friend to all, aims to make the presentation an af� rmation of music’s abilities to render dilemmas as mere stumbling blocks on the way to � gurative harmony and loves his chance to create the literal sort.
“I’ve learned I have to depend on myself to accomplish what I want,” he said. “The concert is proof I have great friends who believe in being proactive, too.” SPR

You get the governmentyou pay for
Uncle Nunzi likes to say, “You get what you pay for.” I have a hunch that most of you agree, except when it comes to your government.
Too many of you believe when it comes to good government, you can get it on the cheap. Too many of you believe when it comes to paying for your Medicare or good schools or good roads, the money appears by waving a magic wand. Too many of you believe only your own expenses go up, but not the cost of government. When you believe you can get good government on the cheap, you buy the conservative hokum that even smart conser-vatives don’t believe.
Conservatives don’t believe you can at-tract good executives in private industry on the cheap. They tell us we need to pay CEOs millions of dollars to attract the cream of the crop. Conservatives don’t believe you get creative capitalism on the cheap and argue for higher pro� t margins. So long as you’re discussing the private sector, conservatives argue that money is the essential incentive. It’s only when they discuss the public sector that conservatives turn parsimonious (except maybe for defense spending, where big de-fense contractors make big bucks).
So what is it that good conservatives really believe? In the words of conservative guru Grover Norquist, they believe in a govern-ment that is small enough to drown in a bath-tub. They believe low taxes are good because in starving government, one frees up capital-ists to maximize pro� ts. They don’t worry about the ever-expanding gap between rich and poor because they view the top earners as the success stories and the rest of us as losers. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney didn’t misspeak when he blasted 47 percent of the American people as “takers.” He echoed what the real conservative philosophy is when his ilk gathers around and talks in private. In order to justify the harshness of their belief system and sell it to the public, they label the less fortunate as lazy losers waiting for the dole. Conservatives don’t care about increas-ing the minimum wage either because they argue that fast food workers are pretty much high school kids working part-time entry lev-el jobs. But no smart conservatives can really believe their own malarkey. All one has to do is look around to see that many of those jobs � ipping burgers are now manned by older, skilled people who have lost their jobs.
Conservative radio talkers and Fox News
have done a skillful job of convincing the av-erage voter that he or she is overtaxed. The conservative mantra is “Thou shall not raise taxes.” Not ever. Not in any circumstance. Norquist even insists that true conservatives sign an oath to that effect. In a crunch, hey, all you have to do is cut spending. And when those cuts cause larger classroom sizes or potholes or fewer cops on the street or fewer health-care workers to meet the Ebola crisis, conservatives argue that just proves govern-ment doesn’t work. In today’s political en-vironment, voting a conservative into of� ce isn’t voting for someone to oversee govern-ment competently, but voting for someone to euthanize government.
Believe we’re overtaxed? The Citizens For Tax Justice report that the United States ranks third lowest in taxing its citizens. Only Mexico and Chile rank below us among the 24 countries included in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Even that conservative deity, President Ron-ald Reagan, raised taxes 11 times, according to his friend and former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.). Simpson was a member of Presi-dent Obama’s Tax Reform Commission. He is a reminder of a time when Republi-cans were responsible enough not to spread myths.
The idea that one can never raise taxes has even taken root among today’s liberals, including President Barack Obama. Liberal politicians tend not to tell the truth about taxes in a different way than conservatives. Oh, they’ll admit that more revenue is needed alright, but pretend you can do it merely by taxing the af� uent. Smart liberals know bet-ter. They know that one can’t pay the bills merely by bumping up the tax rates on rich folks. Sure, that would help, but wouldn’t come close to solving the problem. The dirty little truth that most liberals know but won’t speak is that taxes on the middle class would also have to go up. Go try to run on that proposition these days. So what we get from Obama and the liberal members of Congress is not that taxes on the middle class are too high, they are too low.
Am I saying that we automatically get a well-run government by raising revenue? No, that would be foolish. Conservatives don’t believe in government, so to an extent they’re off the hook here. Liberals profess a belief in an activist government that can act to right the wrongs of runaway capitalism. Therefore, liberals, when they gain power, have a special obligation to the rest of us. Liberals have to make sure government works. They must weed out programs that don’t and be even more ruthless than conservatives in eliminat-ing waste. Liberals are the ones who should be wearing the green-eye shades.
A perfect government doesn’t exist, but 22 other countries acknowledge what we in America refuse to. We get the government we pay for. SPR

Director Adam Wingard’s home-in-vasion slasher “You’re Next” was one of last year’s most underrated movies — a pristinely-made skew-
ering of the new generation of irony. For his follow-up, Wingard offers a stealthier type of home-invasion � ick, in which the enemy doesn’t wear a mask and shoot ar-rows through windows, but is invited in through the front door.
Slimming down, chiseling up and leav-ing his period duds in the closet, “Downton Abbey” alum Dan Stevens plays David, a military vet who befriends the family of a fallen comrade, Caleb, and begins living with them after confessing that he made a promise to look after the deceased � gure’s next of kin. David teaches Caleb’s kid brother, Luke (Brendan Meyer), how to stick up for himself; attracts and unnerves Caleb’s teenage sister, Anna (Maika Mon-roe); and becomes protector and surrogate son to Caleb’s mom, Laura (Sheila Kel-ley).
But, of course, David isn’t quite what he seems, and the tension of the � lm rests on just how long it will take for each family member to remove his or her blinders of grief to see it. As they did with “You’re Next,” Wingard and writer Simon Barrett revel in delivering a little throwback horror fun, fusing an electro-pop soundtrack and iconic thriller imagery with a newfangled mood that’s hip and relevant. “The Guest” has a recognizable grindhouse vibe, while still feeling resolutely of its time.
Stevens, an actor of television and stage who left many viewers unsure of his capa-bilities, proves himself more formidable than ever. He’s scary and utterly unpredict-able as an enigmatic loose cannon, and his
magnetic appeal attests to why it would take so long for his smitten hosts to see the truth. Anna is the one who starts put-ting the pieces together, and, as an actress, young Monroe suggests she’s much more than just another buxom blonde typecast in a Halloween-season thriller. Her scenes with Stevens are likely the � lm’s best, and while “The Guest” is no “You’re Next,” it’s a � ne piece to sate the appetites of Wingard fans.

Wild card John Woj-towicz, the inspiration behind Al Pacino’s character in Sidney Lumet’s � lm, receives a vivid pro� le from � lmmakers Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren, resulting in a perfect companion piece to the American classic.

Thomas W. Gamba, D.D.S., F.A.C.D, F.I.C.D.
Dr. Thomas Gamba received his Bachelors degree from Villanova University in 1972 and graduated from Temple University’s School of Dentistry in 1976. He then joined his fa-ther’s practice and they worked together until his dad retired in 1985 after 51 years of practice. He has continuously practiced in Philadelphia since then.
In 1981, Dr. G (as he is affectionately known) was awarded Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, signifying more than 500 hours of post-graduate education in
all phases of dentistry. He has also been honored with Fellowships in the American College of Dentists, the International Col-lege of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy. He has written several articles on dental ethics, which have been published in the Journal of the American Dental Associa-tion. He is a part-time clinical instructor at Temple’s dental school where he teaches and mentors dental students in the fine points of clinical practice. And he has been the consulting dentist for the Philadelphia Phillies for more than 20 years.
In addition to being deeply committed to his patients, many of whom he has been treating since they were children, Dr. G is also committed to his professional associa-tions. He has served the Pennsylvania Den-tal Association on the Board of Trustees, as Speaker of the House and, in 2008-09, as President. He has also been a member of two Councils of the American Dental Asso-ciation (ADA) including the Council on Ethics and is currently ADA Vice-President.
Tom and Cynthia Gamba were high school sweethearts and have been married since 1971. They have two grown children and two handsome grandsons. They are both life-long residents of South Philadelphia and proud of it.

A healthy mouth not only prevents cavities but also various gum diseases like Gingivitis and Periodontitis that can also cause early tooth loss if left untreated for even relatively short periods of time.
Dental Bridge-Ware is used to replace a missing tooth (teeth), by creating a fixed bridge from either side of the space then joining them together by placing a false tooth in the middle .
At Philadelphia Dental Arts we take pride in the real artwork required to make and personally match very good looking dental crowns
One of the most revolutionary advances in dental science is the use of dental implants to permanently and beauti-fully replace lost teeth.
Dental sealants protect the grooved and pitted surfaces of the teeth, especially the chewing surfaces of back teeth where most cavities are found.
At Philadelphia Dental Arts we believe mak-ing unique custom dental prosthetics for our patients is a real art and one we are dedicated to providing with excel-lence!
Fluoride treatment is one of the best defenses against tooth decay. Together with Dental Sealants, 95% of cavities can be prevented!
Root Canal Therapy is a wonderful method for saving a tooth that has been so significantly damaged by either decay or trauma that it has exposed the tooth pulp.
Dental arts is what we are all about and so beautiful white teeth are a particular specialty at Philadelphia Dental Arts!
At Philadelphia Dental Arts we use only the best composite materials to give the best look, comfort and strength!

Going back in time
Kevin Sbraga will be the second win-ner of Bravo’s “Top Chef” to set up shop in South Philly come the open-ing of Juniper Commons later this
fall at the intersection of Broad and South streets. Interestingly, the new concept will be centered on something much of Ameri-ca has tried to forget — the 1980s.
“Juniper Commons is an homage to my childhood, inspired by one of my favorite decades,” Sbraga said. “When you talk about the eighties, everyone focuses on the pop culture, not the food or drinks. While many chefs have forgone revisiting this decade, I’m excited to reinvent dishes that have been deemed passé into quality dishes that guests will relate to today.”
The menu will focus on placing a mod-ern twist on some of the dishes that broke out in the ’80s then settled in as stalwarts in the early ’90’s before becoming some-what boring inclusions on any “American” menu by the end of the century. Sbraga is aiming to reinvigorate some of these dish-es, which clearly carved space in the minds of diners but simply lost their way. Think “power lunch” items like a raw bar tower or shrimp cocktail reinvented. And, for dinner, big � avors from the age of roasted meats sliced to order, bread bowls � lled with dip and salad bars with raspberry vin-aigrette will be present, but with a more re� ned approach. Sbraga divulged some examples from the opening menu:
Smoked Fish Platter with salmon, white� sh terrine, blue� sh,
lentil salad, and housemade black breadBeef Fat Frieswith cherry pepper aioli and pecorinoCaesar Saladprepared tableside with housemade crou-
tons and dressingEggplant Parmesan rings of panko-crusted eggplant topped
with marinara sauce, locatelli, and pars-ley
Rotisserie Chickenserved with Marsala sauce and herb
bouquetWood Roasted Prime Rib cooked on the rotisserie and served with
ox tail au jus and roasted garlicNot to be left out, the bar program will
follow along the same path — rescuing some classic � avors from over-sugared ap-proaches. In doing so, Juniper Commons seeks to move more than a few drinks from the realm of hokey nostalgia orders and into today’s cocktail lexicon. Given the name, it’s obvious which spirit will be the most heavily featured. The collection will feature 50 bottles of gin, complimented by a selection of housemade tonics infused with � avors ranging from � oral and herba-ceous to citrus and spicy.
“The eighties were a time when cocktails were driven more by sugar and concen-trated juices than by spirits,” Sbraga Din-ing’s Director of Operations Ben Fileccia said. “At Juniper Commons, we are taking those shunned drinks and turning them into libations that hold up to today’s cocktail standards — think Sex on The Beach with cranberry washed vodka, peach preserves and fresh squeezed orange juice.”
In contrast to the intimate and exclusive angle taken by fellow "Top Chef" winner Nick Elmi at Laurel, 1617 E. Passyunk Ave., Sbraga will opt for a modern space that seats 140 at Juniper Commons. Eight-ies design details such as wood paneling, brass toned metals and angled patterns will be blended with modern lighting, � xtures and upholsteries. An especially nice touch will be custom wallpaper made from the pages of local newspapers dating back three decades. There has been no word yet on if the South Philly Review will grab some real estate on that wall. SPR

Halloween hops
Tap Room on 19th, 2400 S. 19th St., will make Halloween an even hap-
pier occasion for children and adults with tomorrow’s 5-7 p.m. Pumpkin Fest and Tap Takeover. The site will offer six discounted pumpkin beers, a pumpkin cocktail, pumpkin snacks, pumpkin painting and face painting for the youngsters (and tipsy adults, if ap-plicable!). Call 267-687-7817 for more information, or follow #PumpkinFest or #tr19 on Twitter. SPR
G iddy children will line local streets tomorrow evening for Hal-loween, but aside from sampling their spoils, what can the more mature residents of South Philly call on to make the
night a jolt for the senses? For Eileen Eubanks, the discussion can start and end by choosing her RumChata Pina Colada.
Like many other folks across the country, the resident of the 2300 block of South 12th Street has fallen hard for RumChata, which uses � ve-times distilled Caribbean rum, the freshest dairy cream, touches of natural cinnamon, sugar, vanilla and other secret � avors to make taste buds bow to its allure. The liqueur debuted in 2009, with its website noting manufacturers sold their millionth case this past April. Count-ing herself among the devotees, the Lower Moyamensing inhabitant certainly believes that treats are better than tricks. SPR

■ By Phyllis Stein-NovackRestaurant Rev iewer
I clearly recall the lone time I tasted moonshine. Chef Jack McDavid, a good old Southern boy to the core, had just opened Jack’s Firehouse. He lov-
ingly brought out his homemade hooch from his still after pouring it into a large jug. We did not toss one down hoisted from the jug. He poured me a glass.
It tasted like � rewater.I thought about that night during dinner
at Moonshine Philly, a delightful neigh-borhood pub in Pennsport. It was easy to � nd. The brightly lit sign hangs above the outdoor seating, complete with a Parisian heat lamp, where people were enjoying a pint and having dinner.
We sat at the bar to watch some college football and ordered a Rob Roy ($13.50) and a martini ($8) as we perused the menu, which is all over the map. Italian, Ameri-can and Mexican dishes are on offer.
Soup of the day ($5) was brisket and potato. That seemed odd. I usually think of a creamed soup when I think of po-tato soup. This looked like the gravy one would get after braising a brisket for hours. The soup was tomato-based, with bits of tender brisket keeping company with potatoes, onions and carrots. It was thinned with a bit of stock, and I confess it was rather tasty.
French onion soup ($5) did not fare as well. It was piping hot from the oven, but as soon as I took a spoonful, the salt mon-ster came over me. The broth was much too salty, but the onions were nicely car-amelized, and the cheese added a bit of texture.
Beet salad ($9) was pleasant enough. Cool red beets were tossed with cashews, some greens and blue cheese. The dress-ing lacked seasoning and a bit of acid. Vin-egar or lemon juice would have produced a better � avor, but some salt did help.
Arugula salad ($9.50) was truly bland. A small mound of spicy baby arugula leaves was saturated with a bland dress-ing made with pulverized pistachio nuts and olive oil. If the nuts had been salted and chopped, it would have added texture. Sliced sweet � gs were � ne on their own but did little for the greens. Bits of cheese were supposed to be included, but I did not receive any cheese. I thought the ad-dition of endive or romaine lettuce would have given the salad more crunch.
The staff at Moonshine Tavern is � rst-rate, possessing a friendly, yet profes-sional nature. Two bartenders answered our questions about wine and dishes on the bill of fare.
I wanted a glass of red wine to sip with a cheeseburger ($9.50). Malbec from Ar-gentina has gained in popularity in restau-rants and pubs throughout the city, and the year-old Pennsport location offers three of them. A bartender offered me a sip of each so I could make my selection. My choice ($6) imparted a rich � avor that I knew would drink well with a burger. Since Ed-ward ordered a cat� sh sandwich ($9), he chose a light crisp Pinot Grigio ($6).
I ordered my cheeseburger medium rare. Patrons can choose either French fries or tater tots. I love tater tots. The best I ever tasted are served at Society Hill’s Jones. Unfortunately, the burger arrived well
done. A bartender apologized and agreed it was well done. He ordered a fresh burger to be prepared. It was still not medium rare, but was not overcooked like the � rst one. The beef was nicely seasoned and served on a not-too-sweet brioche bun. Tater tots are fried creations that are crispy on the outside and creamy, like a potato latke, on the inside. I received small rounds of po-tatoes that neither looked nor tasted like tater tots.
The fried cat� sh in the sandwich was perfect. It was moist on the inside and crispy, free of grease, on the outside. A spicy slaw was slathered on top. I liked it better than Edward, who prefers tartar sauce with fried food. The sandwich re-minded me of cat� sh po’ boys.
Moonshine Philly, which retains the original tin ceiling and pretty, almost late-Victorian wood bar, was � lled outside and
inside by the time we � nished dining. The noise level was perfect, as was the light-ing. Edward recognized a co-worker and his dinner companion who reside in the neighborhood and have become regulars.
The dishes we sampled needed a bit more attention to detail and � avor. Still, we enjoyed our mean in the company of a � ne staff and South Philly residents.

Those strolling along East Passyunk Avenue may encoun-ter Joe Cicala running back and forth during the course of the
evening. The chef is not lost, but sim-ply juggling his executive chef roles at Le Virtù, 1927 E. Passyunk Ave.,
and Brigantessa, 1520 E. Passyunk Ave. He manages this menu of re-sponsibilities along with the titles of husband to pastry chef Angela Ranalli and father to 6-year-old Augustino.
The establishment is described as an authentic forneria serving southern Italian cuisine including wood-fi red Neapolitan pizzas and other oven-baked dishes, wood-grilled meats, house-cured salumi, seasonal antipas-ti and hard-to-fi nd Italian wine and beer. With 20 lower level seats and 50 to 55 upstairs, the restaurant has quickly wowed locals.
“I didn’t know it would be this pop-ular right off the bat,” he said of the location named for the female brigan-ti — legendary guerilla warriors that resisted the unifi cation of Italy in the 1860s and continued doing so even after the north came into power. “It’s been very stressful.”
Living up to the high avenue stan-dards is nothing new for the 32-year-old who calls 12th and Ritner streets home.
“I am really proud to be involved, and I am trying my best to keep it go-ing,” Cicala said.
The three-time James Beard Award semifi nalist will likely be getting many pizza orders, as Brigantessa’s
has a centrally located wood-burning oven that was hand-made to order in Naples and mortared with volcanic ash from Vesuvius. Cicala is up to the challenge, as he traveled to Italy to earn his Pizzaiolo Verace certifi ca-tion (demonstrating his pizza prowess in front of a committee, as required by law).
“We’re excited to bring the unpre-tentious, live-in-the-moment spirit of southern Italy to our neighborhood’s dining scene, and we look forward to lingering over a vera pizza napoletana and an American or Italian beer, or perhaps a glass or two of wine shared with friends, both old and new,” Cica-la said.

Using a pasta machine, roll out the dough from the largest setting to the second to smallest. Cut the dough into 1-inch strips approximately 6-inches long. Cook in salted boiling water for three minutes or until tender. Add the cooked pasta to a pan with the ragu and toss. Serve with pecorino cheese, and dust with fennel pollen.

gSAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): You’re a master counselor, which gives you a lot of power. You may not
realize how much others admire you and value your advice. Take the time to be there for someone. Lucky number: 625.

tions are coming up. Someone may ask you to reach out to a dis-connected loved one. Lucky number: 468.

PROSPORTS at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php
■ By Joseph MyersReview Managing Ed itor
When commencing her hockey ca-reer as a 4-year-old registrant through the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore
St., Alexa Davis diligently handled her duties as a playmaker. Fast forward seven years, and the resident of the 200 block of Miffl in Street has ceased being a center and has become the center of attention as a revered goaltender, with her prowess even prompting an all-boys postsecondary edu-cation institution to add her to its middle school squad.
“When I made the switch, I thought goaltending would be hard, and it has been at times,” the Pennsport inhabitant said Friday at Burke Playground, Second and Jackson streets, where EOM holds its spring and fall seasons. “I’ve gotten used to it, though, and it’s really fun stopping pucks and getting better at understanding the game.”
Alexa, a sixth-grader at Christopher Columbus Charter School, 1242-46 S. 12th St., has aided Roman Catholic High School’s youth unit for the last two weeks, having earned a spot through her stellar play and EOM coaches’ connections with the Cahillites. No matter if she is playing ice hockey for that club or roller hockey for her playground team, the energetic girl garners respect not simply for be-ing a female testing her might within a male-dominated discipline but also for her unwavering commitment to meshing fun and focus.
“It’s a very quick game, so I always have to be aware,” the youngster said of possessing acute re� exes and limbs. “I’ve been playing for most of my life, but there’s always going to be something to improve.”
Essentially a self-taught keeper, Alexa, whose basement has become an extra practice location, has looked to footage of Philadelphia Flyers rubber stoppers Ray Emery and Steve Mason for assistance, but she knows the onus of registering victories rests mainly on her shoulders, or, in this, case, her glove, blocker, stick and pads. That attitude has assisted Alexa no matter which uniform that she dons or teammates whom she supports, with the Roman
Catholic assignment proving particularly compelling.
“It’s a great opportunity for her,” mother Tracey Triolo said of the ambitious pre-teen. “She’s the � rst girl ever to play for Roman, so there’s that novelty, but Alexa doesn’t let that get to her.”
The composed child confessed to feeling quite ecstatic over the possibility of mak-ing trips to Pittsburgh and Lake Placid, N.Y., for Roman Catholic, which plays in West Chester and practices at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania’s Class of 1923
Arena. Those settings, though deserving of much reverence, could come to pale in comparison to the national and interna-tional locations that could wow her world if she continues her monumental mental maturation.
“If she wants greater exposure, she is going to have to start playing with girls,” Triolo said of her offspring, who has re-ceived interest from the Delco Phantoms Ice Hockey Club. “I think she’s on a great path. Time will tell.”
ALEXA MIGHT INDEED need to fend off fel-
low females for distinction, but she began her athletic journey with mastering a male, her brother Stephen, in mind.
“I always thought I could be better than him,” she said of her sibling. “Really, I just wanted to be good no matter what I tried.”
Alexa has played soccer and basketball for EOM, yet hockey has held sway the longest during her tenure with the 53-year-old entity. She started to play very well as a 7-year-old, and, proving that her talent included far more than the ability to thwart shots, she started to display a knack for blocking them, too, as a defenseman, or defensewoman, so to speak, for Rizzo Rink, 1101 S. Front St.
“I occasionally play goal there, but, yeah, I play mostly defense, and that’s fun, too,” Alexa said, adding that speedy backwards skating and concentrating on opponents’ waists more than their sticks help her to thrive and to strive to make the contest a manageable one for whoever stands between the pipes.
When she is guarding the goal, the spry specimen specializes in � ashing a quick glove and is working on using her stick better and diminishing the temptation of aiming for her � ve-hole. No matter what she is looking to improve, her skills have already bred three Goalie of the Year hon-ors from EOM and the much-appreciated roster spot for Roman Catholic.
“It doesn’t really feel that different to me that I’m a girl playing against mostly boys,” she said. “No matter what they are, when I’m the goalie, I want to stop them from scoring.”
Being a dual threat with her goaltending and skating renown, Alexa will need to determine which endeavor will likely yield more opportunities and will gain a greater sense of that when Rizzo Rink’s season opens next month and as Roman Catho-lic’s and EOM’s campaigns unfold. While professional pursuits might not be clear yet, the youngster tasked with preventing one kind of goal will continue to nourish the growth of another sort.
“Winning an Olympic gold medal would be great,” Alexa said.
“That’s the hope,” her matriarch added. “Wouldn’t that be something? Look at the girl from South Philly.” SPR
