magine a food store where the profits stay in the community, where you can find healthy food for a fair price and where you get to meet and know your neighbors,” Alison L. Fritz said Monday. “We’re making that a reality.” The president of the two-year-old South Philly Food Co-op can tout her conviction even more, as she and her allies signed up their 250th member-owner at May 19’s Lower Moyamensing Flea Market, Broad Street and Snyder Avenue. That fortunate figure will allow them to pursue a location for their planned grocery store, which would market locally sourced goods and See CO-OP page 8

The commitment issue
To the Editor: Tom Cardella’s op-ed on “Samesex marriage� (May 24) raises some interesting points. He declares such a union is not only a civil right but also a “human right.� But, is marriage between any two human beings an inherent right simply by virtue of the fact that they are human? Those who differ with Tom say that marriage is not a civil or human right but rather a state-authorized entitlement, and as such, must meet certain legal criteria, such as whether or not the couple is blood-related. So far, not one sovereign state has legalized same-sex marriage but some have legalized civil unions. Tom agrees with Daily News columnists Christine Flowers and Stu Bykofsky that any religion has the right to make its own marriage laws. The Catholic church, for example, considers marriage a holy sacrament instituted by Christ and governed by immutable rules that exclude samesex participants. If a civil union is thus the only possible venue for this new paradigm of commitment, then there should be some guarantee in place that a gay couple receives the exact same rights and privileges as heterosexual married couples. Meanwhile, absent a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a civil right, each state will have to live with its own definition and rules.
of May 22, Ralph’s is now the oldest Italian restaurant in America. And it truly is unfortunate, as we are very close with the now former owners of Fior, and it was bittersweet to accept this passing of the torch. We would like to thank them for mentioning us in their press release as the new owners of this distinction. The fourth and fifth generations are the most actively involved today in Ralph’s, with, believe it or not, a lot of help still from the third generation. We will not take this honor lightly, and will keep our tradition going in honor of Fior. We hope you’ll come out in the coming weeks and months to help us celebrate this new — and unexpected — title, as we look forward to what the future has in store for Ralph’s Italian Restaurant.

Passing of the torch To the Editor: Since 1900, five generations of the Dispigno/Rubino family have learned about and run our beloved family business [Ralph’s Italian Restaurant, 760 S. Ninth St]. In 1986, Fior D’Italia, a restaurant located in San Francisco, commissioned a research project that proved, beyond doubt, that it was the nation’s oldest Italian restaurant — founded in 1886. For the next 26 years, Ralph’s was both the second oldest of all Italian restaurants in America and the nation’s oldest Italian restaurant owned and operated by the original family. Due to the unfortunate closing of Fior, as

Bell has served time in jail after pleading guilty to drug charges in Delaware County while Morris was imprisoned for three drugrelated crimes dating back to ’03.
Ungentlemanly act A man needed six staples and 10 stitches to his head and face after a brawl at a Pennsport gentleman’s club early Saturday.
The 21-year-old was outside of Show N Tel, 1900 S. Columbus Blvd., when he and a group of about a dozen men started to dispute verbally at 1:10 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The attackers smacked the man with beer bottles, knocked him to the ground and continued to punch and kick him until they fled in a black bus. The man received six stables to the back of his head and 10 stitches over his eye to close the gashes, Tolliver said. Two of the men involved were described as Latino. One was described as age 20, 5-foot-6, 180 pounds, having a shaved head and wearing an oversized white Tshirt, while the other was described as age 20 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, having a dark complexion and wearing a peach-colored Hollister shirt with white print.

Taken out before takeout A man was wounded in Point Breeze while walking to a Chinese takeout eatery Sunday. The 22-year-old was at 22nd and Cross streets en route to get food in West Passyunk when two unknown males passed him at 11:22 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. A few second later, they ran in the other direction. He heard gunshots and when he turned around, he saw a gun muzzle flash and the shooter, donning all black clothing, firing in his direction, Tolliver said. The man quickly scurried north on 22nd Street and felt pain in his right foot. He kept running until he reached Greenwich Street. He said, “I’ve been shot” and a neighborhood acquaintance transported him to HUP in stable condition. A detailed description of the shooter was not available at press time.

He drove her to Camden, N.J. and dropped her off near the city’s police department where she flagged down an officer to report the incident. The crime was reported to the Philadelphia Police Department Tuesday.

CO-OP
continued from page 1 whose identity would depend solely on its roster of investors. Fritz, of the 1200 block of Dickinson Street, and her board of directors have made the co-op’s existence a lesson in communal outreach, staging food-centric events to stress that large corporations alone should never dictate what fuels bodies. Partial proceeds from this evening’s 6 to 9 Spirit Night at Rita’s Water Ice, 1356 E. Passyunk Ave., will further fund efforts to sate demands for the cooperative venue. “The co-op’s role is to weave together relationships among neighbors, farmers and local food producers,” Fritz, who used her 2003 to ’05 membership in West Mount Airy’s Weavers Way co-op as inspiration for fashioning South Philly as a nutritional force, said. Fond of her area’s food history, she yearns to enhance the future, uniting with her team to establish benefits to accepting their pitch. A $200 one-time investment would permit any constituent from a member-owner household to purchase groceries, with each home granted a say in any voting matter. Members would obtain a share in the business, gain a voice in product selection, receive discounts through the Shop South Philly program, stand a chance to earn dividends on profits and have eligibility to run for a board position. They also would help to strengthen commercial and residential relationships through involvement in “a united business community dedicated to the future of our neighborhood,” Fritz said. Her Weavers Way autonomy led Fritz to establish similar feelings of ownership and connectedness upon her arrival in Passyunk Square. She has found so many adherents to her call for freshness and friendships that securing the 250th commitment let her check off the first membership benchmark on the co-op’s development timeline. “We started as a group of strangers and now we are more than 250 members strong, growing every day, representing a community we’ve built from the ground up through a common vision and determination,” she said. THE NATION’S FIRST food co-op debuted at 917 Federal St. in 1862, and, 150 years later, the current crusaders are promoting an allegiance to analyzing nutritional selections, pursuing potential members throughout the area. Many owners reside within Passyunk Square, Sixth to Broad Street, from Tasker Street to Washington Avenue, according to the co-op’s website, but Joseph F. Marino, its director at large.
Co-op member-owners have engaged in numerous fundraisers, including this December gathering. Started in April 2010, their endeavor has steadily won favor among diverse pockets of South Philadelphia. P h o t o P r o v i d e d b y T h e S o u t h P h i l ly F o o d C o - o p
has striven to broaden the appeal. The East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association co-chair and resident of the 1900 block of South Jessup Street is trying to enlist his neighbors, as are representatives from Lower Moyamensing and Newbold. A fourth-generation South Philadelphian, he believes established food providers have yet to forge a marriage between fine produce and agreeable prices. “My motivation has been to ensure that some landed gentry were involved, to open some doors with politicians, parishes, lifelong neighbors, et cetera and not to have to spend $5.99 a pound for red bell peppers,” he said. Fritz and Marino have often needed to squash misconceptions about the co-op, with the former having to differentiate between a food co-op and a communitysupported agriculture. Like a traditional grocery store, a food co-op encourages purchasing what one wants when one can. A co-op tends to offer more natural, organic and local foods and other products than customary spots and, Fritz said, focuses more on community building and social responsibility. “In appearance, the South Philly Food Co-op will be a grocery store and a business like any other,” she said. “The difference lies in the ownership structure with results in profits staying with the community and the members dictating the product mix and services.”
Through a community-supported agriculture, members buy a share of farmers’ harvests for a season. The allotment supports a single farm’s budget or many operations, with parties restricted to a season’s yield and having few choices in a weekly share’s variety. A co-op places no barriers on one’s cravings, with the local example serving to foster camaraderie among those with diverse backgrounds and palates. “Some of the greatest connections we’ve made are between the more recent South Philadelphia transplants and the long-time residents,” Fritz said. “We will continue to reach out to people from South Philly’s diverse population through various efforts, including translation of our materials into different languages and expanded outreach through community groups, civic associations and churches.” Marino balks at beliefs that those who gravitate toward the co-op are “all hipsters and new neighbors” and has a possible direction for membership. “We could use a few more long-term residents,” he said. With the benchmark eclipsed, the co-op vows to establish a real estate committee and to expand the finance body. The first will examine member-owners’ locations, the real estate market, analysis of potential sites’ feasibility and pedestrian, public transportation and vehicular accessibility to all possible sites. Fritz and Marino have aligned them-
selves with area businesses to advocate for increased input into one’s provisions and sustainability, aiming to situate South Philadelphia as a beacon in Mayor Michael A. Nutter’s plan to morph the city into America’s greenest metropolis. With sufficient backing, the finance and operations committee will begin composing a business plan, crafting a fundraising strategy and plotting discussions with potential lenders. Thus far, Fritz has noticed zero glitches, stating the co-op’s phases of development will likely continue to flow well as long as more people join. The next member-owner goal is 400, with a ’14 opening very likely. “South Philly is not a food desert, by any means,” Marino said, “but fresh, local and organic are at a premium but for access and price.” “South Philly is more of a melting pot than ever before, and the response from the community suggests there is a real pent up demand for fresh whole foods that are reasonably raised, locally grown, sourced and produced,” Fritz added. “More and more, people seem to be returning to these basic principles and values.” SPR For more information, visit southphillyfoodcoop.org.

continued from page 1 gravy and sauce fanatics. Securing approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, she opened for business in Feb. 2010, landing placement in area stores and produce stands. Last week’s Pennsport visit, her third in eight months, included more recollections than its predecessors, courtesy of her famous relative, but an equal amount of cash register success for owner James Colligas. “We enjoy promoting local products,” he said, adding his clientele is 70 percent Italian, a statistic he felt demanded he provide a helper for traditional Sunday gravy preparation. “This has fared beyond expectation, and we’ve even run out on occasion.” The early afternoon store traffic looked as if it would yield more sales for Colligas and Theresa Belfiore, but capitalism alone did not inspire their partnership. The latter figure’s son Nicholas Belfiore combats severe autism and has resided at Princeton, N.J.’s Eden Autism Services for Autistic Children and Adults for 25 years. Avallone Tomatoes donates portions of its proceeds to the site, with Avalon and Stephen Belfiore often teaming up for musical benefits for it, too. “I’ve played the guitar and piano, and my uncle has sung, as always, with love in his heart,” the proud nephew said. The demonstration marked the 17th anniversary of Mary Avallone’s passing, so her offspring felt pleased as consumers enjoyed samples and purchased the 28-ounce cans of tomatoes. “I’m sure my mother would be smiling as she is on that can,” Theresa Belfiore said as patrons ingested bread topped with heated sauce and Parmesan. Her brother fondly recalled his parent’s countenance and kitchen accomplishments yet dwelled on much more. “My mother was a fantastic person and a marvelous cook,” Avalon said. “She had a great sense of humor and should have been a comedian. I can think of many adjectives for her, but the best are strong and bright.” Her skills influenced his nutrition mission, and father Nicholas Avallone, a multi-instrumentalist, nurtured his artistic crusade. Avalon spent his first 19 years in South Philly, residing at numerous spots yet esteeming his eight years on the 1900 block of South Hemberger Street the most. That span saw him graduate from the nowshuttered St. Edmond School, 23rd and Mifflin streets, and South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St. His adolescence aligned him with Fabiano Forte, now Fabian, and Robert Ridarelli, now Bobby Rydell, with whom he has formed enduring friendships. Their association has included a 27-year run as “The Golden Boys,” an alliance that performed Saturday at Atlantic City’s Golden Nugget.

A former member of St. Edmond Parish, Frankie Avalon received a shirt to commemorate the site’s 100th anniversary. He graduated from its elementary school before heading to South Philadelphia High School. P h o t o P r o v i d e d b y S c o t t We i n e r
“I’ve been gone for a long time, but I often think about South Philly,” Avalon, a California resident, said. “Its ethnic mix gave me insight into other cultures and really prepared me for life. It was a great growing experience.” ONCE AWAY FROM the area, he embarked on a successful stint as a singer. His singles “Venus” and “Why” topped Billboard Magazine’s Hot-100 chart in 1959 and when the hits died down as rock music began to eclipse his brand of pop, he joined with Annette Funicello for a series of jovial beach movies, including ’65’s “Beach Blanket Bingo.” The owner of six top-10 hits, he derives more joy from knowing he will mark 50 years of marriage to Kathryn Diebel Jan. 19. Their union produced eight children, who have delighted their patriarch with 10 grandchildren. “I’ve been able to perform in many places and that has given me pride, but nothing beats family,” he said. Those who clamored to meet the performer, who achieved a second wave of fame through his role as The Teen Angel in ’78’s musical film “Grease,” deemed Avalon an extended member of their clans. “I listened to his music as a child,” Rosemary Sanvitale said. “His era was a romantic time, and memories are coming back to me so easily.” The resident of 20th and Jackson streets relayed that a relative with Down syndrome delighted in hearing Avalon’s tunes as a baby, perking up immediately when “Venus,” a five-week chart topper that featured a call for intervention in securing a love interest, would play. Seeing the child thrilled helped Sanvitale see that music can provide therapy, with a special bonus deriving from her hero’s providing it.
“That’s my favorite but ‘Bobby Sox To Stockings’ is a classic, too,” she said of the ’59 ode to maturity. Avalon last enjoyed an extended Philadelphia stop in 2003, reprising his role as The Teen Angel in the Academy of Music’s production of “Grease.” Sanvitale attended and swooned as she had 25 years earlier. “When he sang ‘Beauty School Dropout,’ I nearly fainted,” she said of his contribution. He capped off the decade by singing “Venus” on an April ’09 episode of “American Idol.” The show gave him many thoughts on music’s evolution and helped him to dabble in a bit of constructive criticism. “I would say music is progressing,” he said as onlookers waited to take photos. “It can be a bit complex at times because I think people forget about simplicity. In my day, simplicity was important.” Marketing has become important, too. Aside from his Avallone Tomatoes endorsement, he has appeared on the Home Shopping Network to hawk health and cosmetic products and expressed enthusiasm for two ventures, the Frankie Avalon Kahuna Surfboard and interaction with Voice Assist, a hands-free speech technology solution to texting while driving. “I enjoy working with businesses,” he said of going from working on his vocal pitch to helping someone’s sales pitch. Customers enjoyed his sister’s product, which he said will help any dish. Hobnobbing with them reminded him of his upbringing. “I am on the West Coast, but it, like other spots, is a location,” he said. “This is home.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

our Pennsylvania Ballet dancers, including a Bella Vistan, were promoted to principal roles last week. The company’s highest tier, principal dancers for next season will include Jermel Johnson, of 10th and Bainbridge streets, along with Lauren Fadeley, Ian Hussey and Brooke Moore — all of whom were formerly soloists. “Each of our new principal dancers has developed their own unique artistry while here at Pennsylvania Ballet,” Artistic Director Roy Kaiser said in a statement. “I am so pleased to honor their talent and dedication with these promotions.” Johnson, a Baltimore native, joined the local entity in 2003 and reached his former position in ’09. He has been featured “Christopher Wheeldon’s Swan Lake,” “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker” and “Robert Weiss’s Messiah” while performing at the Pennsylvania Ballet. He currently is appearing in its production of “N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz” through June 3 at the Merriam Theater.

A Passyunk Square surgeon brings new technology to the United States and the possibilities of improved health care going forward. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
“A
s early as I can remember, I told everyone I was going to be a doctor,” Dr. Daniel Eun, of Juniper and Federal streets, said. “I used to hang in clinics where my father was the only physician, where they had no access to health care. ... There were patients down the block. “I remember looking at that and admiring that so much, being able to give people care.” Eun, 39, eventually followed in father Sang-Kee Eun’s footsteps. The urologist recently also broke new ground, performing the first-of-its-kind specialty robot-assisted single-incision surgery to repair a ureteropelvic junction. “The kidney cannot drain off the bladder. There is a blockage,” Eun said. “Normally it’s congenital — you’re born with it.” The surgery, called a plyeloplasty, was originally performed through one large open incision, under the ribs, which can be painful and require a long recovery period. “That’s not being done so much because it’s a painful incision to have. It’s right alongside your ribs and you can be in pain for months on end,” he said. “More recently, surgery has migrated to minimally invasive surgery. The first technology of minimum-invasive surgery was laparoscopic surgery, but it’s very limited in the degree of freedom the surgical instruments [have].” The breakthrough, which was performed on a 47-year-old female patient April 19, used a specifically de-
Lifestyles signed robot that allowed the surgeon and his team to enter through a single incision in the belly button, as opposed to entering each instrument through a separate incision, as is typically done in laparoscopic surgery. Physicians in Milan, Italy, have explored the procedure. “Straight laparoscopic surgery is very tedious, very labor-intensive. It takes somebody with a lot of skill to do it,” Eun, who has been performing surgeries in a geographical area that stretches from New York down to Maryland because of the skill involved, said. “The robot instruments allow surgeons to [move] … like the wrist extends. It gives surgeons a human hand capability.” BORN IN SOUTH Korea, Eun spent his childhood moving from place to place with his father, a physician and missionary. He had left South Korea at age 4, and was raised in the West Bank before coming stateside when he was 10. “People would laugh and say, ‘You’re so young, how do you know [you want to be a physician]?’” he said. “There was just an internal spark inside me when I was growing up.” Inspired by his hero, his father, Eun began medical studies at Temple University after receiving his bachelor’s degree from
Penn State University. “I remember, as a third-year med student at Temple I was rotating under Amy Goldberg, a well-known professor of surgery and director of the trauma program at Temple,” Eun said. “… She was a hero in my mind of what a surgeon looks like and behaves like.” In addition to his personal inspirations, Eun was drawn to the technical proficiency the profession requires. “I saw they were using very small scopes, laser fibers, kind of like Star Wars — red dots with lasers,” he said. “The eye-hand coordination involved looked like it was fun. And I thought, ‘I can do that.’ [It’s] the same eye-hand coordination it takes to excel at robotic surgery. The eye-hand coordination piece really spoke to me. Now it’s what I am using to help a lot of people with cancer.” Eun had the good fortune to spend his residency in Detroit at Henry Ford Hospital’s Vattikuti Urology Institute, which afforded him a look at cutting-edge technology that he did not expect to find. “What I didn’t know was it was, in a year or two, to become the epicenter of robotic activity in the world,” Eun said. “The robotic revolution in urology started at Henry Ford Hospital.” Upon finishing his time in Detroit, Eun
and his wife, Ronia, had to decide where to set down roots. “My wife lived with me in Philadelphia, but she is originally from New York, but she lived here for a few years,” he said. “She also liked Philadelphia, as well.” They decided to return to the area for an opportunity at Pennsylvania Hospital and set up shop. “We love it. We love the neighborhood. My wife and I make an attempt to go out and visit Passyunk Avenue at least once or twice a month,” Eun said. “My wife walks with my son to Ninth and Christian to his school [Christopher Columbus Charter School]. We go to Di Bruno [Bros.,] and Claudio [Specialty Foods], Espisito’s [Meats in the Italian Market] — such a wonderful living experience.” In addition to his eldest, Caleb, 8, Eun has daughters Gabriella, 3, and Sarah, 1. When the family first settled into Philadelphia, Eun realized he had a unique opportunity to bring his cutting-edge training here. “In the six years I was [in Detroit], I had an unbelievable experience. Walking away from that and coming to Philadelphia I realized I was given a gift and unusual ability,” he said. “Being at a place like that taught me to see the world completely differently.

learning curve, bring this technology in a real way [to Philadelphia]. “I’ve heard but I don’t know if its true or not that Philadelphia, per capita, has the highest density of physicians in the world … so what better place is there to use this cutting-age work.” Eun has stayed true to his word. After taking on the role of Pennsylvania Hospital’s director of robotic and minimally invasive urological oncology & reconstruction, Eun headed to Temple April 1 to serve as its robotic surgery vice chief and minimally invasive robotic urological oncology director, as well as associate professor of clinical urology at Temple University School of Medicine. The recent surgery, which had spectacular results, is just the first in what Eun hopes will be a long line of advancements to provide patients with the best possible care. “Where those advancements lie in single-incision and traditional robotics remains to be seen. You are taking something at 98 percent and trying to show it’s 99 percent or even 100 percent. It’s very hard to show differences when things are very good,” Eun said. “But I think it is a gateway procedure.” SPR

By Tom Cardella Columnist
How the Air Force survived me
A
ll of this week, we have been rightly celebrating our military heroes. I am especially grateful to the U.S. Air Force, which proved its resiliency when it survived my stint as an active duty reservist in 1961. Back in the day, males were subject to the draft. You couldn’t get a decent job unless you fulfilled your military duty. So it was in March of ’61, after graduating college and a couple of brief broadcasting jobs, I enlisted in the Air Force Reserve. The enlistment required me to serve six months active duty and attend meetings once a month for five-and-a-half years. and what we gently referred to as “summer camp” for two weeks each summer. I didn’t know what I was in for, but neither did the Air Force. By way of preface, know that at the time I entered the military, I may have been the most overprotected 23-year-old on the planet. Generally speaking, I had no life experience and my only skill was an ability to do basketball play-by-play and to deliver a convincing beer commercial (though I hated the taste of beer). Basic training was held at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas. The Air Force tried to gently ease me into the military life. Our unit was housed four to a room dormitory-style rather than in openbay barracks. We were a medical supply unit. There was an air of civility about things when compared to the infantry. None of us smoked. We were all college graduates in our early 20s, including a guy named Wolf, who was German and a recent naturalized U.S. citizen. I got off on the wrong foot during the first inspection shakedown when my paperback copy of “Exodus” was confiscated. In ’61, paperback was synonymous with pornography, according to the military (sorry Leon Uris). Several weeks later, while cleaning the lieutenant’s office, I noticed my dog-eared copy of “Exodus” had made it on to his bookshelf. The Air Force assumed a certain maturity on my part. We were both to become sadly disappointed. Airmen were expected to hem their own fatigues (what without Mom helping?). I tried. I really did try. The result was that I sewed the cuffs of my fatigue pants together. My roommate
Wolf became exasperated with my incompetence (did I tell you he was German?). He proposed to hem my fatigues if I would spit shine his shoes. A word about spit shining. The pure spit shine is accomplished by applying a thin layer of polish. You dip a cotton ball in water and rub the shoe surface until it is bright and shiny. What could go wrong? Wolf curled into a corner of the room as lights went out. He used a flashlight to hem my fatigue pants. Meanwhile, I was busy on the other side of the room vigorously spit shining his shoes in the dark. To this day, I’m not sure why it happened. The following morning, Wolf handed me my finished fatigues and I gave him his spit-shined shoes. Only they weren’t spit shined; they had been completely stripped of any polish. Whatever liquid (alcohol?) I had used wasn’t water. Wolf taught me a variety of profane expressions in German that morning. Things got worse — much worse. I fell asleep on the top bunk facing the wall and woke up thinking that I was blind. We rotated washing our underwear and socks. I used too much suds the first time and flooded our laundry room. The second time it was my turn, I mistakenly used alcohol instead of Clorox and it resulted in some nifty little holes in our undershorts. I was as bad marching on the drill pad as I had been on the dance floor in civilian life. Our drill instructor made me a road guard. With white helmet firmly in place at the head of my unit, I made a column left when our sergeant shouted “column right” on the way to the base bowling alley. When I discovered that I was marching alone (my unit was off in the distance), I hustled to catch up with them. That’s when our drill instructor suggested that I desert (I would have if I knew my way home). My marching never got any better, even as a road guard. Marching in the streets of San Antonio, I failed to halt traffic (we were almost massacred right outside the Alamo). As you might suspect, I wasn’t any better on maneuvers. On the obstacle course, four of us carried one of us in a litter with live fire above our heads. My team wisely decided to make me the guy in the litter. I cut my finger on the lid of a can during kitchen patrol duty and bled into the applesauce. The cook told me not to worry because he was putting maraschino cherry juice into the applesauce anyway to give it some color. In the female chow hall during kitchen patrol duty, a female officer caught me offering a pretty WAF (Women in Air Force) an extra slice of pie. “You’re here to feed ’em, not f--- ’em,” she said. A life lesson well earned. Thank you, Air Force. We both survived.SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

or the past five years or so, the restaurant on the lobby floor of The Latham Hotel had been vacant. I would walk by and wonder when a new restaurant would open. Urban Enoteca now fills the space, and is open for breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch and dinner. The dining area, which is small by hotel standards, has a bar, community table in the center, as well as comfortable, dark wood tables and blue upholstered chairs. Sandy and I made three visits to Urban Enoteca. The all-day menu suited us although a few hot entrées are added after 5 p.m. I savored the Portofino fish sandwich ($15) prepared with fresh, juicy haddock dipped into a batter blended with Peroni beer. The fish, served on a ciabatta roll, sat on a thin layer of Provolone and was topped with a lemon tartar sauce, which added a bit of zing. It comes with a choice of coleslaw or truffle fries, which could have been a bit more crispy, but Sandy and I enjoyed the flavor. Sandy ate her first vegetarian sandwich with gusto. Grilled vegetable panini ($12) consisted of marinated zucchini, meaty portobello mushrooms, Provolone, roasted red peppers, tangy goat cheese and tomato spread with aioli on a pressed Italian roll. Since Walnut Street is a favorite shopping mecca for us, we headed back to Urban Enoteca a week later. “Let’s share the steak salad since last week [our server] Michael told us it is M a rc o n i / Pa c ke r Pa r k

quite large,” I said to my sister. We ordered the beef medium-rare. The menu bistecca steak salad ($18) with grilled marinated sirloin, mixed greens, olives, Gorgonzola, artichokes, Italian pignolis, herb-roasted tomatoes, crispy onions and white balsamic vinaigrette." It was dreadful, overdressed and inedible. Ordinary bagged mesclun was used and since it was a soggy mess, one cannot call them crisp greens. There was so much imitation balsamic vinegar that we had to return it. The manager apologized. Two new salads were prepared with some yellow romaine leaves, ramekins of olive oil, lemon wedges, one artichoke loaded with vinegar, two pitted olives, sliced beef and a few pine nuts. I needed a microscope to detect the Gorgonzola. The manager saw us picking at our lunch. He gave me his card and invited us to lunch. The gentleman had no idea of my identity. Prosciutto-crusted white prawns ($10) consisted of two medium shrimp wrapped in Prosciutto. They were flavorful, but someone forgot the oregano salad. There were four tiny oregano leaves, along with dots of honey laced with lemon, on the plate. Sandy had to try the fish sandwich that I enjoyed two weeks before. She loved it. Our server brought us a basket of warm ciabatta and Italian bread baked with Asiago cheese. The butter, topped with sea salt and snipped fresh chives, was soft. Maine lobster with shrimp scampi- style

($16) was not very good. I rate it a Cminus. Three shrimp, some lobster-claw meat, two croutons and peas, which must have come from a can because they were so wrinkled, were set in an oily broken sauce that separated as soon as I forked some shellfish, which, by the way, was not a bit overcooked. I have no idea what the peas were doing there as this dish cried out for fennel and onions. “Would you like something sweet?” our server asked. Straight from the early-'90s chocolate lava cake was nicely done, not at all sweet and topped with creamy vanilla gelato. A cup of rich, dark coffee called Royal Cup

The waiting game is finally over as fresh batches of seasonal fruits that are guaranteed to ripen the day are cropping up everywhere. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
T
hey’re here! Local strawberries and blueberries are now in Philadelphia and New Jersey supermarkets, grocery stores and farmers markets. I hate soaring temperatures and high humidity and will whine and kvetch about the summer months. Yet, the arrival of summer fruits and vegetables turn me into a magical summer cook. We’re familiar with the TV ads for plasticware that comes crashing down on the unsuspecting woman as soon as she opens a cabinet. For me it’s opening my refrigerator door and taking great delight with the pints and quarts of berries that could fall off a shelf if I am not too careful. I get big eyes at the market. Last week, I bought two pints of sweet Jersey blueberries lovingly grown across the river, along with two quarts of red ripe, sweet, luscious strawberries. One will pay a higher price for berries this season. Remember when blueberries were 99 cents a pint. Those days are long gone. I paid $4 for a pint of blueberries and $4.50
for a quart of strawberries. Store your berries in the refrigerator in their containers and wash them as you use them. Never place these delicate fruits in a plastic bag. Leave strawberries in their containers. I love Strawberry Shortcake. I am speaking of the authentic shortcakes that look like biscuits. Bless Trader Joe’s. They sell four shortcakes for $3.49. These are a new item. Sandy, Edward and I found them delicious. I will never make shortcakes from scratch again.
■ Individual ■ Strawberry Shortcakes Ingredients: 4 Trader Joe’s shortcakes, gently split in half 1 quart of strawberries, hulled, washed and sliced Ice cream of your choice, optional 1 pint of heavy cream Pinch of sugar, optional 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, optional
Directions: Place one-half of each shortcake on four plates. Cover with the strawberries. Add a scoop of ice cream if desired. Place the heavy cream in a chilled bowl.
Using a hand mixer, whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat or you will end up with butter. Add the sugar or pure vanilla extract, if desired. Spoon a dollop of the whipped cream on the berries and ice cream. Cover each shortcake with the lid. Add a dollop of whipped cream. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: You can substitute 2 pints of blueberries in this recipe or simply mix strawberries and blueberries for a tasty treat.
■ Blueberry Yogurt ■ Breakfast Ingredients: 1 pint of blueberries, washed Plain Greek yogurt Your favorite granola Sliced almonds or walnut pieces Drizzle of honey
Directions: Place a few blueberries on the bottom of four chilled bowls or pretty glass dessert glasses. Add a generous dollop of the yogurt, several tablespoons of the granola, a sprinkling of the nuts and a drizzle of the honey. Top with more blueberries. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: I prefer the Yage brand of Greek yogurt. It is thick, rich and creamy.
■ Berry Salad ■ Ingredients:
1 pint of blueberries, washed 1 pint of strawberries, hulled, washed and sliced 1 head of Boston lettuce, washed and torn into pieces 2 large bunches of arugula, washed and stemmed 1 handful of sliced almonds, walnut pieces or cashews 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil 3 teaspoons of red wine vinegar or topquality balsamic Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions: Place the salad greens in a large, pretty serving bowl. Add the berries and the nuts and toss well. Whisk together the oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad. Season with the salt and pepper. Toss well. Serves four. Note from Phyllis: This is a free-form salad so have fun with it. You can add some feta cheese or any kind of blue cheese for a bit of zing. Watercress will add a slightly peppery flavor while a stalk or two of diced celery will add some crunch. I find extra-virgin olive oil from California to have a marvelous fruitiness and it works well in this salad. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

Psychic Reader
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): You may not feel like making waves among the group. Don’t go along with just anything to keep the peace. Lucky number: 786. CANCER (June 21 to July 22): You want to express thoughts and feelings. If an audience is absent, writing down personal thoughts becomes a necessity. Lucky number: 570. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22): A sudden insight will shake up thinking about a private matter. You won’t mind that this issue is exposed. Greater freedom is the prize. Lucky number: 843. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22):Organizing becomes difficult. You may have to wait to complete chores. Imagining decorating ideas could be relaxing and gratifying. Lucky number: 960. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22): Daydreaming about an imaginary place delays more productive tasks. The outside world will not get the best of you at this time. Poetry or artistic studies might hold attention. Lucky number: 631. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21): Do not expect to have a realistic view in the professional realm. Avoid making promises to take on additional responsibilities. Agreeing to something that is outside your expertise is likely. Lucky number: 902. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21): It becomes easier to go along with the group agenda. Don’t get caught up in dramatics. Stay on the sidelines as much as possible. Lucky number: 435. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19): Professional life takes up attention. Be honest about areas that could use a change and plot out the steps that will bring greater fulfillment. Lucky number: 261. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18): A fast-talking member of the group will have you agreeing to do something before you realize what it is. Stall until you are more levelheaded. Lucky number: 175. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20): You may have a romanticized career notion. You may be involved in a calling that is beneficial to the welfare of humanity. Be sure not to flaunt this in a superior manner. Lucky number: 632. ARIES (March 21 to April 20): Stall when someone asks to borrow money or a prized possession. The chances of a return are sketchy at best. Even if this person intends to make good on this loan, the agreement may not be honored. Lucky number: 397. TAURUS (April 21 to May 20): Ponder the past, because as the saying goes, the truth will set you free. Coming to terms with what has happened rather than living in denial will ultimately allow you to feel good. Talk to people who know what it was really like. Lucky number: 022. SPR

Happy GAMPers Despite their title game loss, Girard Estate ballplayers await the state tournament.
By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
F
ollowing Friday’s 8-3 Public League championship defeat at Richie Ashburn Field, 20th Street and Pattison Avenue, Art Kratchman let his diamond inhabitants know their postseason run had stunned even him. “Nobody expected this, including me,” the coach at Girard Academic Music Program, 2136 Ritner St., said. “Be proud of your accomplishments, and get ready for the state tournament, which is the real deal.” Fresh off May 23’s thrilling 9-7 comefrom-behind semifinal triumph against Central, his Pioneers, the District 12 Class A titlists, had hoped to down a second straight heavy favorite and join the 2002 athletes as league conquerors. Despite passionate fans and tireless will, the Girard Estate representatives suffered their season’s third setback against defending champion Frankford. Kratchman deemed senior right-hander Desmond Drummond his starting pitcher, but before the Second Team All-Public pick hurled his assortment, he drilled a two-run homer on an 0-2 pitch in the top of the first inning. Virtually unchallenged in advancing to its ninth final over the last decade, Frankford rallied against the North Philadelphian in its half, notching three scores. GAMP, whose bats sizzled against Central, saw its momentum fizzle over the next four frames, with only two base runners to show for a collection of mighty cuts. Though whiffing five times, Frankford
adjusted to Drummond’s offerings, using hits and errors to plate five combined tallies in the fourth and fifth sessions. “We need guys on,” Kratchman said as his squad opened the sixth. Two singles and a hit batsman loaded the bases, but a double play and a strikeout enabled only one run to score, subduing the lively “Let’s go, GAMP” chant. The Pioneers bellowed “1,2,3, runs” before the seventh but went down meekly. “It’s not likely anything I will say can take away the hurt,” Kratchman said. “However, if we just wait for that ball, we’ll all be better. The states are going to give us a chance to surprise even more people.” The 14-11 Pioneers will open the Class A tournament Monday against a squad that was to be determined after press time. “Just like with today, we’re definitely not going further with losing on our minds,” Drummond, in
his first year of tossing pitches, said. His squad must improve its fielding and throwing if it is to thrive, Drummond said. Though he absorbed the title loss, he quickly put it behind him. “We could have had them,” he said. “We tried hard and will be ready for the states.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/ sports/features.
Senior pitcher Desmond Drummond helped his own cause with a two-run first-inning home run. Despite an impressive repertoire, he could not sustain the lead for his squad, which will look for redemption Monday. S ta f f P h o t o b y Greg Bezanis
BASEBALL HONOREES
P
ublic League coaches honored many South Philly ballplayers with all-league status. In Division A, senior infielders Tyler Criniti and Desmond Drummond from the Girard Academic Music Program made Second-Team All-Public, along with sophomore pitcher Jake Kurtz. Senior Mike Borelli of Prep Charter won Division B MVP honors and earned First-Team selection as a pitcher and an infielder. Junior pitcher and infielder Peter Piccoli joined him on the First Team, and sophomore outfielder Rob Freer picked up a Second-Team nod. Senior catcher Derek Gregg of Edward Bok High School made the First Team, with senior pitcher Stephen Ross securing a SecondTeam spot. Senior infielder Stephen King of South Philadelphia High School received Division C First-Team plaudits, with fellow senior infielder Marques DeLeon landing on the Second Team. Freshman infielder Marshall Drummond of Horace Furness High School also garnered a FirstTeam distinction. In the th Inter-Ac, Penn Charter High School senior pitcher/infielder Kenny Koplove and el senior infielder Demetrius Jennings scored First-Team commendation, while senior Nick Lamb achieved Second-Team merit.

Slight underdogs courtesy of their competition’s undefeated league slate, the locals yearned to earn another plaque, especially the seniors, who have dropped only 13 games in their tenure. The title tilt continued to validate second-year pitching coach Joe Messina’s claim that the youngsters approach each game “with so much heart and determination.” “These guys play as a family, as a bunch of brothers,” Messina said. The fraternity began its push in the bottom of the third inning. Senior shortstop and Second Team All-Catholic Marty Venafro stroked a double, scoring on a tworun homer by sophomore first baseman Josh Ockimey, another Second-Team honoree. Staff ace, Blue Division MVP and
First-Team senior southpaw Joey Gorman yielded two runs in the sixth, but his mates evened the tally in their half. A pitch struck First-Team senior outfielder Jimmy Kerrigan, who advanced to third on a double by First-Team junior pitcher and third baseman Joe Kinee. A sacrifice fly by junior second sacker Joe Glennon plated Kerrigan, and Kinee crossed on a single by Second-Team senior right fielder Anthony Adams. After 144 pitches, Gorman left in the eighth, yielding to junior right-hander John LaMotta, who tossed nine relief frames in Friday’s 8-7 14-inning semifinal decision over Drexel Hill’s Monsignor Bonner. LaMotta needed to face only three batters and earned the win thanks to the fleet feet of sophomore outfielder Joe Lolio, who pinch-ran for Ockimey following an eighthinning free pass. Kinee bunted to advance Lolio, with an errant throw sending the underclassman on a madcap journey that ended with jubilation for the Saints. “We’ve been battle-tested for the last two years,” Messina said. “We knew La Salle had not been in that position, so we knew we would have chances if we kept it close.” The team reveled yet immediately set its mind on today’s test and the state playoffs, which begin Monday against a to-be-determined adversary. “These players compete for one another,” Messina said. “We’re eager for the next challenges.” SPR
