Word on the Street
Do you feel it is time for Occupy Philly to move on? “I think we have all those issues all over the city. It’s not just that one spot. I don’t know why [Mayor Michal Nutter is] just focusing on that. I’m not really that familiar with the whole thing, but I think there are so many other issues he should be working on.� Mark Meraini, 15th and Moore streets “I like what they are doing, but I know they are going to be working there [to renovate Dilworth Plaza]. Maybe they could find somewhere else to go.� Joanne Trepaczka, Second and Wharton streets
“I can actually see both sides. I am for Occupy Philly and what they stand for, but I can also understand Mayor Nutter’s wanting to move them out to be more business-friendly.� Michael Gillin, 11th and Mifflin streets
“It just seems like something [Nutter] doesn’t want to deal with because it’s probably big in the city’s eyes, but if they disperse, there’s just going to be remnants of Occupy Philly throughout the rest of the city.� Stephanie Richardson, Fifth and Cross streets Interviews by Brooke Hoffman Photos by Greg Bezanis

Standing by Stanton To the Editor: Thanks to Joseph Myers for his comprehensive report on the threatened closing of the Edwin M. Stanton School (“Rantin’ at Stanton,� Nov. 10) and why the local community is fighting to keep it open. Therein lies the reason for Stanton’s success and why it needs to remain open. Stanton is a model of achievement precisely because of a strong partnership between home and school and between school and local businesses. Everyone in the school’s community is invested in the academic progress of its students, and it shows. Another factor in the school’s success is its high concentration on the creative and performing arts. Art frees the mind of a child to think critically and creatively. Again, engagement by the local arts community is what empowers such programs. Elsewhere, public schools, with weak parental involvement, and no budget for the arts, struggle to provide a minimal educational opportunity. Stanton needs to remain open as a model of what a great school should be. Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia
Eviction notice To the Editor: What is Michael Nutter going to do about the Occupy Philly demonstrators? He should take a lesson from the Oakland and New York authorities. Clean up City Hall at night and get rid all the trash and tents that are littering Dilworth Plaza and let construction get on its way. This is not only unsightly, but it is a real health hazard. If this area is not cleaned up, what will this look like on Thanksgiving Day as spectators try to explain these condition to their kids? It certainly will disgrace the image of Philadelphia. Philadelphia needs to improve its image, not disgrace it.
18th annual Philadelphia Marathon. The weekend competition includes the Philadelphia Marathon and Philadelphia Half Marathon on Sunday, preceded by Saturday’s Rothman Institute 8K and the Arctic Ease Kids Fun Run, a noncompetitive race to promote health and fitness among children, ages 4 to 12 . Race weekend will kick off on Friday with a press event at 11:30 a.m. opening the doors to a free two-day Health & Fitness Expo featuring health and fitness programming and dozens of exhibitors offering the latest health foods, sports apparel and equipment. Looking back to the very beginning of the City-hosted Philadelphia Marathon in 1994, it is amazing to see how the event has grown. Today, the event boasts a record of more than 27,000 registrants — a remarkable achievement for a race that started out with more dreams than runners (a mere 1,500 participants). But the marathon has emerged as more than an athletic competition; it is now an anticipated city event for everyone. Philadelphia quietly has become marathoning’s best host city. That means, as the producers of this spectacular showcase, the City is committed to making the race a memorable and enjoyable experience. We have stepped up our outreach to en-

FLEISHER continued from page 1 ers of their singularity and reinforce for Zulmarie that her sister, Alma Nazario, with whom she lives, chose a winner when selecting extracurricular activities for her. “I had no art interest before coming here, but now I look for inspiration everywhere,” she said of how her infatuation with abstract drawing has had a short yet productive life. Zulmarie participates weekly in Teen Lounge, a drop-in opportunity that matches budding creators with established artists for the composition of pieces that eventually join the young people’s exhibit. It serves between 15 and 20 learners each term and, as one of four Fleisher youth arts programs, earned bragging rights for its host. “We are enjoying our acknowledgment as a leader in our field,” fifth-year head Braun said. “As newly minted ambassadors of arts education, we are amazed to have this top honor.” More than 2,000 pupils gain exposure to drawing, mixed media, photography, printmaking and sculpture through the youth arts offerings, and the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards, the land’s chief recognition for afterschool and out-of-school programs looking to heighten creative sensibilities, cited Fleisher for its commitment. The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, partnering with the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administers the awards and made Fleisher its lone Pennsylvania pick in August. The body gave Braun evidence that the third time can prove the charm. The other occasions brought letters letting the Fleisher community know it had not won, so Braun appreciated his summer gift, a thick package detailing its victory. “Every grant we have won feels like an award, but this is the gold standard of prizes,” he said. He and director of programs Magda Martinez wanted a student to venture to Washington, DC., and required little time to choose Zulmarie, who through her high school has performed community service at Fleisher for two years. “Zulmarie is a thoughtful, creative young lady whom we knew would make a great representative,” Martinez said. “We knew Zulmarie appreciates the maturity of the staff and the environment,” Braun added. “She was the perfect choice.” The honored teenager, who said Fleisher helps all students to battle any fears they may have about unleashing their creative impulses, feels Fleisher possesses a wel-

coming air and loved continuing her time as a product of its ingenuity. She fondly recalled her selection, which she learned of following another example of her diligence, a trip to obtain summer reading materials at the Charles Santore Branch, 932 S. Seventh St. “I thought ‘I’m going to the White House!’” she said. Worried about obtaining an updated identification card, she scored one just in time to make her initial trip to the nation’s capital. “Washington was so beautiful,” she said of her jaunt, which included stops at The National Mall, the celebrated area that includes, among others, the National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian Institution Building and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. “It’s a shame we can’t win more than once.” THE VICTORY MAY be a one-time occasion, but Braun, Martinez, Zulmarie and thousands of others will count each day as an opportunity to strengthen Fleisher’s already fabulous tale. Businessman Samuel S. Fletcher started the Graphic Sketch Club for lower-income area boys at the former Jewish Union building, 422 Bainbridge St. Eight years into its existence, increased enrollment caused the club to find a new home at 740 Catharine St. Acquisitions
of two spaces across the street upped outreach even more, and the 1922 purchase of the former Episcopal Church of the Evangelist, which he would christen The Sanctuary, allowed Fleisher to house his collections of paintings and sculptures. Upon his ’44 death, the Philadelphia Museum of Art inherited the estate and named his initial spot the Fleisher Art Memorial. Nearly 5,000 visitors inspect its galleries annually, comprising more than half of its 16,000 yearly patrons, among which Zulmarie will continue to count herself for at least three more years while strengthening her skills in Teen Lounge. “I am definitely sticking with Fleisher,” she said. While White House personnel and fellow victors feted Braun and Zulmarie in Washington, D.C., Mayor Michael Nutter stopped at Fleisher to declare Nov. 2 Fleisher Art Memorial Youth Arts Education Day. “We Skyped with him,” Zulmarie said. “Fleisher’s program stands as a model, both locally in Philadelphia and nationally, for others who are serving today’s youth,” Nutter said. Thanks to the triumph’s accompanying $10,000 grant, the site will work to touch more creative instincts. The Teen Lounge, a Saturday studio program, after-school activities and community partnerships brought Fleisher glory two weeks ago. The
last will be the recipient of the money, as Braun and Martinez will use it to support community-based and school residencies. Last year, 358 children and youths engaged in projects, swelling Fleisher’s numbers to more than 5,000 over the last decade. Abigail Vare School, 621 E. Moyamensing Ave.; George Washington School, 1198 S. Fifth St.; Eliza B. Kirkbride School, 1501 S. Seventh St.; and Southwark School, 1835 S. Ninth St. have benefited, as have the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia’s South Center, 2416-18 S. Seventh St.; Mighty Writers, 1501 Christian St.; and Southwark House, 101 Ellsworth St. “Our White House trip was more inspiration for our work, as I could further observe how much enjoyment and satisfaction children get out of the arts,” Braun said. Fleisher is preparing to launch Color Wheels, a mobile arts studio that will trek to neighborhoods to engross students in the beauty of art. Already convinced, Zulmarie looks forward to the final weeks of the autumn Teen Lounge term and to next year’s adventures. “The trip was great,” she said, “and will give me more incentive to see the joys of making an idea a reality.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

SENIOR DINNER continued from page 1 the 1400 block of Etting Street, said. Holmes, his wife, Natasha, and his sister, Nene, of 24th and Dickinson streets, will prepare most of the dishes for a Thanksgiving dinner for seniors that runs 3 to 7 p.m. Monday in the Family-Student Resource Center at Universal Audenried Charter High School, 1600 S. 32nd St. “We feed whoever comes,” the five-year Tasker Elite president said. “We don’t say, ‘oh no, you’re not a senior. you can’t eat.’” Aside from Tasker Elite, Elegant Seniors from South Philly, Don’t Shoot … I Want a Future and Wydi Bodi have chipped in while state Sen. Anthony H. Williams, as well as state Rep. and 2nd District Councilman-elect Kenyatta Johnson have donated turkeys. For the event, the groups designate each volunteer a specific role — such as escorting a senior between the car and the table, serving and taking out the trash — leaving the guests to enjoy their meals and the musical entertainment. “They don’t have to get up for nothing,” Holmes said. With Audenried now under the management of Universal Companies, 800 S. 15th St., the organizers reached out to Universal about two months ago, Rahim Islam, Universal’s president and CEO, said. Universal, which is providing meals to seniors at Osun Village, 2308-14 Grays Ferry Ave., Saturday and 500 turkeys and trimmings to area low-income families starting at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the school, has invited

Audenried staff and students to volunteer at the dinner. “I don’t think there’s nothing more rewarding in life than to be able to help people when they need the help the most and two groups qualify for that — seniors and children,” Islam said. The younger generations seem to have overlooked the needs of their older neighbors, Holmes said, so ensuring they have a Thanksgiving feast has become the event’s objective.
“It’s a way to show the seniors we didn’t forget them,” he said. “Without them, there would not be any of us.” THE IDEA TO give back to the area’s elders came to Holmes about three years ago. “I woke up one morning and I said, ‘it’s something we have to do. The Lord is telling me to do something,’” he said. Its 2009 debut fed about 125 hungry seniors and guests and expanded to more than 180 last year. In addition to feeding
those in attendance, each year volunteers compile lists of those who cannot be there in person and make special trips to places such as Wilson Park, 2200 S. 25th St.; Landreth Apartments, 1201 S. 23rd St.; and St. John Neumann Place, 2600 Moore St., to deliver platters. Elegant Seniors’ president Andy Jenkins, an Audenried graduate, met Holmes a few years ago and has enjoyed working closely with the younger group since. “It is very inspirational,” the 75-year-old said of giving back to his peers. “Being a Christian — that’s what Christians are about. That’s what the Ten Commandments [are] about. To love thy neighbor, it’s an opportunity to reach out to love your neighbor and the senior citizens.” A native of 21st and Latona streets, Jenkins, who now resides in West Philadelphia, gives accolades to Holmes, but also appreciates the security that Wydi Bodi — a truck club that cleans up blocks, holds toy drives and feeds the homeless, among other tasks — provides. “It’s such a blessing to see that at this particular time because, you know, the high percentage of crime, but to see the men rendering the security in the community. It’s such a blessing,” Jenkins said. The event, in general, shows the goodness in the community instead of its typical, stereotypical view, Holmes said. “We’re just trying to help in our community,” he said. “To show that it don’t have to be bad.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L.

n Nov. 9, 2010, Rebecca Levenberg mounted her bicycle to travel roughly four miles from her South Philadelphia home to Center City’s Russell Byers Charter School where she is a special education teacher. But, that day’s ride would be anything but normal. “I was riding my regular route [along] Washington, in the bike lane, and at Fifth Street I was crossing over, and a trash truck suddenly made a right turn into the bike lane,” Levenberg, who had been riding that route for four years, said. “So he ran me over.” Levenberg suffered multiple injuries, including a collapsed lung, five broken ribs and what would eventually leave her left leg amputated above the knee. “I began wearing a prosthesis. Well, I was fitted back in the spring for a prosthesis and I began training at McGee Rehab and walking on my
prosthesis at the end of April,” the 42-year-old said. The short time with her new edition hasn’t held back the determined Levenberg and she has already set a 1,000-mile goal to be reached by Nov. 9, 2012, which will be the two-year anniversary of her accident. “That’s my own person goal. I was trying to come up with a goal that would allow me to measure my progress, to be able to measure in degrees to see how far I was coming,” she said. “At night, since I was staying with my parents, my dad [David] and I would go out walking. “At first, we could only make it to our next-door neighbor’s house and back. For my dad, it was barely worth putting shoes on. But little by little we made it past four houses, then six houses. And eventually we stopped counting houses and I tried to get around the block.” Motivated by hitting these milestones, Levenberg purchased a pedometer and began thinking about adding up the steps. “When I was awake in the hospital, my aunt and uncle had given me a necklace that said, ‘The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.’ It was special to me then and it had more and more meaning,” Levenberg said. “I began walking farther and farther and it was a long-term goal. I came up with the idea late spring/early summer to start on July 9, which is exactly eight months after the accident date.”

Lifestyles continued from previous page Though Levenberg clocks steps daily, she had plenty of people cheering her on her one-year anniversary Friday. Clinical nurse specialist for surgery/trauma, Deborah A. Gardiner, from Center 7, the unit that was responsible for the majority of her recovery care, organized her Mile No. 160 around Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. She hit the pavement again Saturday with about 100 friends and family for a walk from the accident site to her home. “It was such a traumatic day, I was dreading the first anniversary of my accident. I thought it was going to be difficult to face it,” Levenberg said. “[The Jefferson staff] made this day easier, too.” BORN IN AMBLER, Levenberg attended Chicago’s Northwestern University, where she earned a bachelor’s and then a master’s in learning disability education in 1992. “I taught out in Chicago for a year before I moved back to the Philadelphia area, since this is where most of my family is,” Levenberg said. “I’ve been teaching for about 20 years now.” Her most recent role has been at Russell Byers, where she was the special education coordinator, which had her aiding class-
‘Having gone through a trauma like getting hit unexpectedly by a truck, it takes a lot to recover just from that incident itself. I was afraid to walk on the street or sidewalk where there were cars, that was difficult at first.’ — Rebecca Levenberg room teachers with special needs children as well as overseeing other aspects of the school’s special education program such as compliance. Since the accident, she has moved into a part-time role — one she started this school year — where she oversees two new faculty members. “I’ve gone around to all the classrooms and shown it to the kids, my leg. I call it a robot leg to them sometimes. They have been really fascinated by it,” Levenberg said. “They make all kinds of connections of what they see in my leg and what they see around them.” A consummate educator, Levenberg takes all of the setbacks of the accident in stride, but admits there are daily “ups and downs” that she battles. “I can’t say there was one time I was depressed and now I’m over that,” she said. “It’s a spiral process that I have been going through. I try to focus on the positive in any situation.”
The seven-year resident of the area has a determination anyone can envy and while she has just started the steps toward recovery, she has her sights set on bigger things. “I look forward to doing a lot of things that I used to do. I was in an inline-skating club in the city and I’m just starting to get back on my skates,” Levenberg, who is one of six children, said. “It’s very, very difficult. I’ve been on my skates five or six times now, under the supervision my prosthetist or a friend of mine who is an inline skate instructor. I’m starting to resemble a very beginning skater. It’s strange to be starting at the beginning since I have been skating since I was a little kid.” Another item on her to-do list is traveling, as Levenberg spent two summers in home exchanges with European families in the past. “The way I do things might look different like I may not go by myself or I need to get a certain home to exchange, but I’m
hoping I will still do it all. And bike riding, of course, also,” she said. The ambitious outlook did not come easy, as a trauma of the nature that Levenberg suffered cannot be overstated. “Having gone through a trauma like getting hit unexpectedly by a truck, it takes a lot to recover just from that incident itself. I was afraid to walk on the street or sidewalk where there were cars, that was difficult at first,” Levenberg said. Levenberg, however, has a huge support team in her corner, including her father; mother, Patti; siblings; the Jefferson medical staff; and her prosthetist, Tim Rayer, who Levenberg said has been a “major cheerleader for me.” These supporters, along with friends, has allowed her to take steps — physically and metaphorically — she wasn’t sure were possible at this stage. “I think with any life-changing event, especially a traumatic one that happens all at once, there’s a grieving process you go through were you have to give up the world and the life you were used to and then accepting the new one. You have to take parts of the old and who you used to be and meld them together with who you are now,” she said. “It’s been baby steps, literally, but I’ve made a lot of progress so far.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/lifestyles.

Fallen idol

Matt King (George Clooney), from left, is the regretful husband and out-of-practice father to daughters Alex (Shailene Woodley) and Scottie (Amara Miller).
R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
A
marvel of keen emotional intuition and non-judgmental human portraiture, Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants” has a big and wonderful understanding of the many things that surround a person’s life, and subsequently, a person’s death. When the wife of wealthy Hawaii landowner Matt King (George Clooney) slips into a coma from which she likely won’t emerge, the movie knows to seek out and include the many people she knew and affected, rather than conveniently confine the grief to the story’s main characters. It knows what grieving looks like and it knows grief’s varying degrees of privacy, sometimes sharing a character’s anguish with only the audience, and other times, shielding it from view altogether. More than many, this is a film defined by what it shares and what it doesn’t, an approach Payne beautifully employs to interpret one of the year’s finest screenplays, which he co-wrote with comedians Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. It’s a movie of richness and riches, with so many great and meaningful working parts, which slyly snake together and excel on the fronts of parenthood, ancestry, finance, marriage, forgiveness, milieu, music and more. Though he’s never been an actor whose talent knocks you flat, the superbly consistent Clooney has a knack for choosing projects that are scene-by-scene terrific. Whether affording Matt’s eldest daughter, Alex (Shailene Woodley), the opportunity to thrillingly and believably exercise big-sister rights over 9-year-old Scottie (Amara Miller), or making you cry and then laugh within mere seconds, “The Descendants” is such a project, and it allows Clooney to emit extra
sensitivity as a regretful husband and out-ofpractice, “understudy” father. It’s grand to find a film so gently sweet and yet so doggedly unsentimental, unfailingly dodging the gag reflex as it plants lumps in the throat. It is at once accessible, funny and unassumingly clever in how it links its themes, most notably tethering a major land deal to love’s responsibilities. One recurring pursuit is the demystification of Hawaii — the assurance that sun and sand don’t guarantee paradise. And yet, paradise, minus the escapism, is often precisely what “The Descendants” feels like.
The Descendants R Four reels out of four Opens tomorrow at the Ritz East
Recommended Rental Conan the Barbarian R Available Nov. 22 It may be an utterly ridiculous and gorily tasteless B-movie, but if you’re willing to embrace “Conan the Barbarian” in all its boundary-free splendor, you’ll take in one of the better popular movies of the summer, which towers over peers thanks to its shameless commitment and lack of selfseriousness. As a balding, clawed witch out for blood, Rose McGown is the awful/delicious highlight. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

Descending to paradise
SOUTh PHILLY REVIEW I November 17, 2011
ome time ago, Joseph Vincent Paterno transitioned from man into myth. It is a process that has been repeated over and over since time began, a great public figure becomes heroic. We are so hungry for heroes. Bob Dylan once complained in song, “I’ve got nothing to look up to.” We crave perfection in our heroes, even if we have to invent it. The ancient Greeks tended to make their heroes gods and place them on Mount Olympus. In this part of the country, we turned Paterno from flesh and blood into a bloodless statue and Mount Olympus became Penn State. We can’t be bothered by complexities. People are either good or bad. When confronted with the complexity of our heroes, we take sides. We idolize them or castigate them as phonies. We can’t understand a Frank Sinatra, so generous to some and a bully to others, or a Thomas Jefferson, who could write so eloquently about our inalienable rights while owning slaves. We never entertain the idea that a person is a combination of the good and the bad. So it is with Paterno, “St. Joe” to many, a total fraud to his detractors. The thing about heroes is they can never live up to their image. For the last 46 years as the iconic head coach of Penn State, it seemed “JoePa” would evade the usual fate of heroes. Yes, he has his critics, who said he is brusque and arrogant at times. His players began to look like the players at all the other big-time colleges with occasional brushes with the law. His teams no longer win national championships. Football has passed him by, some said. He is too old to effectively recruit big-time athletes, but each year would pass and Paterno would stubbornly resist the calls to retire. After all, he is Joe Paterno. He is Penn State. He not only built great football teams; he built libraries. Hell, they even named a flavor of ice cream for him. Joe Paterno would leave on his own terms. When you live in Happy Valley as a demigod, you begin to believe Happy Valley is the world. But Happy Valley isn’t the world. It is an insular place where it is easy to believe in myths. At some point Joe Paterno began to believe in his own myth. And this past week, we saw that myth shattered. My initial reaction to the child-abuse scandal that has ended his storied coaching career was if it were true that he had not acted aggressively in the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal, then he would have to go. But
I also felt and still do that a lifetime of good works had earned him the right to be heard. I want to hear Joe’s side. Why had he believed that by passing the report on to the athletic director he had done all he could to rid the campus of Sandusky? Why hadn’t he followed up? Perhaps even more importantly, had he known about Sandusky’s alleged predatory activities as early as 1998? Had he forced Sandusky to retire the following year at age 55 when Sandusky had been assumed to be his apparent heir? And why hadn’t Sandusky been offered any other head coaching jobs? Had Paterno gotten him to agree to a deal to keep Sandusky out of prison while protecting Penn State’s pristine reputation? Early last week, through his son Scott, Paterno let it be known he would not only hold his scheduled press conference, but answer any and all questions surrounding his involvement in the scandal. That was when we found out Paterno was no longer all powerful. Penn State president Graham Spanier pulled the plug on the conference. Penn State was ready to cut its losses. Paterno’s usefulness to the university — he is 84 years old and now carries the whiff of scandal — was through. Paterno couldn’t accept he no longer called his own shots. He clung to his own myth. He announced, in a self-serving statement, he would retire at the end of the season. He even appeared on the practice field preparing for the next game against Nebraska,. The proud lion thought he was about to weather his biggest storm. The board of trustees ended the myth of Paterno’s invincibility. Joe Paterno is a man after all, not a myth. Happy Valley is not Mount Olympus, but a college town. And they can always change the name of “Peachy Paterno” ice cream to the name of the next head coach. We can always hope something good comes out of this, that out of this wreckage we will find important lessons, we will come up with a way to better protect our children, we will find a way to treat sex offenders who may sometimes operate in the guise of friend or family member, that institutions will do the right thing and the right thing is not thinking about its own image first and foremost. You don’t have to be an apologist to hope, at some point, Paterno gets a chance to tell his side. Not to excuse his actions, but to provide insight into why a man above reproach failed to do the right thing when it counted most. We rightly reserve our deepest compassion for the victims, but I hope in our hearts we find a little compassion for Paterno. Compassion isn’t a finite thing. If Paterno had lived in the time of the ancient Greeks, Sophocles would have had himself a helluva another tragedy to write. SPR

ranberry isn’t always the headlining fruit at the Thanksgiving table. The pilgrims may not have had pineapples, but it always finds its way on to David Cifone’s menu. The 12th-and-Reed-streets native makes this sweet and tangy casserole for his family every year. In fact, his relatives crave it regularly. The best part of the Brookhaven resident’s Baked Pineapple Casserole is how easy it is to make. During the busy holiday season, isn’t it nice to have something sweet and simple? SPR

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy. While beating on low, add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time until mixed. Use a large spoon to stir the pineapples into the mixture. Fold in the bread cubes and mix well. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish and bake for one hour, or until golden brown. Makes about 12 to 15 servings. Serve warm, but it also tastes great cold.

Chefs must respect the egg. It is a glorious ingredient, but many allow it to overcook and become rubbery and brown. The potatoes were piping hot and crisp. All they required was a sprinkling of salt. A good-sized mound of salad greens came with the omelet. illy coffee ($2.50) was rich and strong, just like the Italians prefer it.

at room temperature. Edward ordered the bacon and brie omelet ($15) with a side of roasted potatoes ($6). Our server brought us French rolls with ramekins of softened butter. I sampled each dish on the chef’s table ($27) and there was something for everyone. Vegetarians would feel most comfortable with the offerings. I began brunch with cubes of cool roasted beets and Brussels sprouts vinaigrette tossed with tiny bits of slightly sweet carrots. Some chopped fresh herbs were scattered throughout the sprouts. The charcuterie board included prosciutto di Parma, wedges of cheese, imported mortadella and salume. Cornichons and coarse Dijon are lovely accompaniments for charcuterie along with an array of crackers. I especially enjoyed the pate de champagne, which was wrapped in caulfat and prepared with seasoned pork. No brunch buffet is complete without smoked salmon or gravlax. Gravlax is served at Granite Hill. It has a mild flavor and is always served with fronds of fresh fragrant dill. Slices of cool, rare roast sirloin were on hand for the beef lovers along with chicken roulade and a lovely arctic char sitting on a bed of lentils. Quinoa tossed with pomegranate seeds was so tasty, I decided to try this dish at home. French green beans, spicy arugula salad with shards of Parmigianno-Reggiano and a bowl of mixed berries completed my brunch. Three tips of the toque to Evans. He exe-

have always enjoyed dining in cultural institutions. Minutes after seeing Seurat’s masterpiece “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte” inside the Art Institute of Chicago, Edward and I lunched outside in the museum’s garden. I have taken tea at the Tate Gallery in London, a snack at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and a number of meals at the Kimmel Center. In 2010, Stephen Starr took over the reigns at the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s restaurant. I don’t know how many meals I’ve eaten at the museum because I have been a regular visitor since I was a child. I was curious to see the menu Starr developed for this glorious Philadelphia masterpiece. Granite Hill’s kitchen is in the capable hands of chef Joshua Evans. The staff is capable as well. They are a congenial group who see to your every need. Granite Hill is open for lunch, Saturday and Sunday brunch and dinner on Friday evenings. Edward and I decided on Sunday brunch because it is my favorite dining-out meal. The room is awash in dove gray with blond wood and white linen. Soft jazz was playing on the sound system. There are two brunch options: The Chef's Table, which is a lovely buffet priced at $27 and the a la carte menu. I sipped a superb Bloody Mary ($10) and took a close look at the buffet table. This was right up my Sunday-brunch alley. All the dishes are served either cool or

By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
T
hanksgiving is one week away and I hope guests have given their R.S.V.P. and the menu is planned. Last week, I wrote of my love for American Southern cuisine (“Turkey isn’t the lone star,” Nov. 10). I will make dressings using Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing mix and autumn glazed vegetables along with roast turkey, Brussels sprouts and whipped sweet potatoes with lots of butter, laced with a touch of cinnamon. Pecan pie, pumpkin pie and an anniversary cake for Myna and Erv will be served with Champagne. Now, for all you roasted turkey virgins, I will allay your fears on how to prepare a juicy and succulent bird. Just think of the gobbler as a big chicken with less fat. Buy a fresh, organic turkey from a reputable butcher. I prefer Godshall’s in the Reading Terminal Market. I also recommend a glatt kosher organic bird which can be find at Trader Joe’s and other markets. I prefer to roast the eight-to-13-pound bird. The dark meat and white meat is more evenly distributed for a more even roast. Figure on one pound per person. I do not truss the turkey or sit it on a rack. James Beard always turned his birds,
but I don’t. I just let it sit. Brussels sprouts are an autumn/winter favorite at our house. Pick them out yourself and try to select the tiniest ones. Years ago, Whole Foods began offering roasted Brussels sprouts with caramelized shallots for about $8 a pound. I knew immediately I could make this dish for much less money. You can add cooked diced chestnuts, crisp pancetta, sautéed garlic and any ingredient you instinctively feel will enhance the vegetables. As for the great wine debate, offer the all-American zinfandel, a Beaujolais or pinot noir for those who enjoy red, and a crisp sauvignon blanc from New Zealand and an OK buttery rich California chardonnay for white wine imbibers.
■ Roast Turkey ■ Ingredients:
1 8-to-13-pound fresh turkey, wiped down with paper towels and giblets removed 2 ribs of celery, cut into chunks 1 large onion, cut into chunks 1 15-ounce can of chicken stock Softened butter or vegetable oil Kosher salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste Sweet imported Hungarian paprika, to taste Cornstarch to thicken the gravy
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, Place the vegetables around the inside rim of a large roasting pan. Pour in the stock. Place the turkey in the roasting pan. Massage the bird all over with the butter or oil. I know it is messy, but this is the best way to do this. Sprinkle on the salt, pepper and paprika. Cover the pan and place it in the oven. Roast for exactly 15 minutes per pound. Remove the lid during the last half-hour of cooking time. Allow the turkey to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. Pour the pan juices into a saucepan. Turn the heat to medium-high. Whisk in about 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch with 1 cup of water. Keep whisking the gravy until it thickens. You may need a bit more cornstarch. Serves eight to 12.
■ Brussels Sprouts ■ with Caramelized Shallots and Pancetta Ingredients:
2 pounds of Brussels sprouts, roots trimmed
8 ounces of pancetta, diced 3 large shallots, diced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions: Place the Brussels sprouts in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes or until the sprouts are tender. Drain in a colander and run cold water over them. Drain well. Place the pancetta in the skillet. Cook until it is crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Pat the pancetta to remove excess fat. Place the shallots in the skillet. Sauté the shallots over medium-high until they are translucent, for about eight minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and pancetta and sauté until the Brussels sprouts are hot. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Serves eight. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye, you were gone before I knew it, & only God knew why. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried, if love alone could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still, in my heart you hold a place that no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you but you didn’t go alone, for a part of me went with you the day God took you home. Happy birthday to my angel in heaven. No matter what happens in my life, you will always hold the biggest piece of my heart. I miss you babe, & I’ll love you forever. Love always, Miss Ashley

Joe Fortunato, a jazz legend in the Philadelphia music scene for over 70 years.
Joe was 81 when he died of natural causes on Friday October 28. Joe was a jazz saxophone player who headlined some of the Philadelphia area’s top bands from the 1950’s through the 1990’s. He was a mentor to and teacher of many musicians including the jazz saxophonist John Simon and organ prodigy and legend Joey DeFrancesco. Joe was a staple in the jazz club scene and could often be heard at Ortlieb’s, Chris’s Jazz Club and the 23rd Street Café. During the 1980’s and 90’s, Joe and his band Act III transformed an unknown hole-in-the-wall bar in Conshocken called the Balligo into a jazz destination. Weekends at the Balligo saw SRO crowds of college students, old timers, jazz men and music lovers of all kinds who came to hear the music and sit in. Inspired at a young age to play the saxophone when he heard a recording of Coleman Hawkins doing “Body and Soul,” Joe’s career spanned seven decades during which he remained a true fan of the stylings of Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt, Zoot Simms and of course Hawkins. Born and raised in South Philly, Joe had the chance to travel the world as a member of the Army Jazz Band during the Korean War and played across the country as a sideman in the Ringling Brothers Circus band. When his family began to grow, Joe stayed closer to home playing regularly with the Billy Duke Band at Schillig’s Black Horse Farm in South Jersey. Joe is survived by Betty, his wife of 58 years, four daughters, eight grandchildren, one great-grandchild and his sister Mary. Funeral services have been held and a Memorial Jam Session is planned for Tuesday November 22 at the 23rd Street Café from 7:30– 11 PM.

ed at paces faster than their normal strides. Today marks their final session, a brief excursion that will not burden Payne, who now excels at handling longer distances and crueler conditions. “This is definitely the most grueling experience of my life,” he said of being sound for Sunday. He has set no time goal for the race but knows pain will be only a homophone to his last name and not a source of sadness. “Running is natural now,” he said, “just like walking.” WHILE PAYNE WILL cover 13.1 miles, junior Jacqueline Le and senior Alex Muller will tackle 26.2. Organizers of the first modern Olympic Games, the 1896 competition in Athens, Greece, chose the latter to honor Pheidippides, a messenger who ran roughly the same distance from Marathon to Athens to announce Greece’s triumph in the Battle of Marathon. Le will not run to proclaim any victory, but she will be attempting her first marathon. The third-year participant ran the shorter race her first two years and sought to see if last November’s success could translate over a course twice the size. “I finished easily last year,” the resident of the 600 block of Washington Avenue said. While her inaugural outing went poorly, she never wavered, with last year’s time of

Marathon, he constructs Team Palumbo’s routes and gives the teenagers ample encouragement, the latter to the delight of Payne. The young man chose running to bring his weight loss plan to fruition. While many novices experience beginner’s luck, he dealt with amateur angst. “It was the worst thing ever,” the youngster said of his initial run, a March practice for the Broad Street Run. “I had tight legs and so much doubt.” Payne overcame pain and uncertainty in time for the 10-mile test, which concluded inside The Philadelphia Navy Yard. “He pulled me through it as much as I pushed him,” Whelan said of the rookie. “That kid’s got a ton of heart.” Students Run has assisted more than 2,500 students and enlists mentors to keep learners intent on conquering intense schedules, eight road races and apprehension. Whelan helped his concrete canvassers by upping the treks to 10 to prove extra challenges yield additional confidence. “It all kind of clicked for me then,” Payne said of not letting his ambition take a vacation. Team Palumbo began its marathon training plan Aug. 9 with a four-mile hike, which included incline preparation. The subsequent weeks have included more hill trials and aerobic intervals, repetitions during which Whelan’s charges have dart-
2 hours and 21 minutes as a testament to her tenacity. Le hopes her non-running Bella Vista schoolmates will ponder joining her “small family” next year. For Sunday, she will look to exact her overall mission. “I just want to finish,” she said. If she navigates the course, which commences at 22nd Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Le will receive a Marathon Finisher hoodie. Pre-race joy commenced yesterday, as Whelan’s employer, hosted a celebration for the adolescents. Tomorrow they will venture to the Pennsylvania Convention Center for the Health & Fitness Expo. A Saturday evening pasta party will fill their stomachs with welcomed carbohydrates, and they will unite at 5 a.m. Sunday to begin their assault on the city’s terrain two hours later. “Running pushes us to test personal boundaries,” Southwest Philadelphia’s Muller said. A second-year Students Run member, he has moved from a preference for sprints to an affinity for distance races. “I definitely have more drive this year,” he said. The Palumbo student completed last year’s marathon in just under five hours and hopes to improve that mark by around 70 minutes. Whelan will line up with Team Palumbo, as he and the youths, especially Payne, who is ready for pleasure, look for an eruption of endorphins. “From my involvement,” he said, “I have learned I can do whatever I want.” SPR

ordan Payne has spent the last eight months shedding unwanted weight and gaining desired motivation. Never more determined, the West Philadelphian and senior at The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., will make Sunday the latest proof of his resolve when he competes in the half-marathon portion of the Philadelphia Marathon. He will receive the bulk of his support from his dozen Team Palumbo colleagues and running leader Joe Whelan. Payne and his mates comprise one of nearly 50 group and school squads under the guidance of Students Run Philly Style. The seven-year-old Center City-based program serves as the lone local entity providing youths marathon training as a means to bolster self-belief and has counted on Whelan to head Team Palumbo for the last two running seasons. The area unit, featuring pupils from other high schools, gathered Nov. 10 for a seven-mile session stretching from 728 S. Broad St. to the stadium complex area. Since July, the runners have used the former, where Whelan, of Front and Pemberton streets works for a public policy and technology company, as the origin of their three-times-a-week travels and impress the 27-year-old with their maturity. “They have developed strong accountability to one another,” the Queen Village inhabitant, whose own running career last year motivated him to become a Students Run volunteer, said.
