n one pocket of South Philly, nearby residents are ecstatic at the sight of a brand new library – the state-of-the-art South Philly Branch on the bottom floor of the brand new Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) South Philly Community Health and Literacy Center, 1700 S. Broad St. It’s a beautiful and brand new library with the newest technologies, brand new material,

and a highly-functioning HVAC system. It’s that last element that’s troubled a couple of the South Philly’s branches sickly siblings. The Fumo Family Branch, 2437 S. Broad St., sadly, sits closed just under 10 blocks south due to a failing air-conditioning system. The Charles Santore Branch, 932 S. Seventh St., in Bella Vista just reopened after a rough patch in early June that saw a heat index rising above 84 degrees. The South Philly Branch may be a bit of an exception, because of its

unique funding formula being a public-private partnership, but it still remains the first brand new library built by the Free Library of Philadelphia since the 2002 building of the Widener branch at 28th Street and Lehigh Avenue. On the opposite end of the spectrum, 25 so-called Carnegie libraries were built in the greater Philly region more than 100 years ago with a huge check from Andrew Carnegie – more than 2,500 libraries were built across the country between 1883 and 1929. The Do-

natucci Branch, 1935 Shunk St. was built in 1914 and renamed in 2004, and it’s the last surviving South Philly Carnegie library (the Ritner Children’s and Southwark branches were either razed or converted to serve other purposes). Some libraries need a lot of help. At least we have one that needs none. “We were packed opening day,� Sandy Horrocks, the Free Library Foundation’s vice president of external affairs, said of the South Philly Branch’s June 11 grand ASS :70@/@73A ^OUS ,,

B`WUUS`W\U OQbW]\ To the Editor: Yet again, another mass shooting has taken place on U.S. soil. When we think of the city of Orlando, most of us visualize Disney World. However, during the last two weeks, Orlando has had its share of tragedy and devastation. A young singer from our area named Christina Grimmie was shot and killed by a deranged man after performing at a concert. As hundreds of young gay men and women gathered at Pulse nightclub for “Latin Night,� a homophobic man shot and killed 49 people as well as wounding 53 others. To add to the city’s sorrow, a toddler was attacked at Disney World by an alligator as his family was helpless to save him. Yes, Orlando is a city wrapped in tragedy and sadness. The worst mass shooting in U.S. history occurred because the shooter was consumed

by hate. He despised the gay community. He pledged his allegiance to a terrorist group. His ex-wife claimed that she was beaten by him. Obviously, rage and hatred filled his life and, as a result, innocent victims lost their lives, and their families are heartbroken. Hundreds of Americans have been killed in our country in mass shootings. Unfortunately, we have become numb upon hearing the news. What will it take for the violence to end? After the horrific massacre of children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut four years ago, I thought Congress would finally act to reinstate a ban on assault weapons. I was wrong. When will background checks become mandatory at gun shows? If a person’s name exists on a no-fly list, should he or she be permitted to purchase a firearm?

What is your reaction to the impending implementation of Mayor Jim Kenney’s sugary-beverages tax? Interviews by Joseph Myers Photos by Tina Garceau

“It reminds me of other taxes under [former mayor Michael] Nutter because I doubt the City will use the money for the intended purposes. It’s another measure that makes me wonder who we can trust.� Alfredo Rodriguez, North Philadelphia

Obviously, these gun control issues need to be addressed immediately. The time is now. Congress can no longer permit the National Rifle Association to influence its decisions. If it fails to act responsibly, it must bear the guilt of future lives lost in another deadly slaughter. The message of hate has permeated our society. Some politicians use it to ignite a firestorm of resentment among voters. Bigots and bullies use it to achieve their goals. It is time for unity and peace in our country. We need to find the courage within ourselves to move forward and take a stand. Carol Pasquarello South Philadelphia

Never waste an opportunity To the Editor: Philadelphia needs to up its recycling game. The amount of recycling we do considering our city’s population is underwhelming. Compared to a city with a much greater population, like Los Angeles, our recycling statistics are pathetic. Los Angeles has a population of about four million but is able to divert about 76 percent of its waste from landfills. Philadelphia has a population of about 1.5 million but is able to divert only about 70 percent of its waste from landfills. The more populated a city is, the more trash and waste are generated, so it should be more difficult to have a high recycling rate; however, Los Angeles manages to exceed us. We need to find a way to convince more Philadelphians to recycle more. A big issue is the city’s lack of knowledge concerning key recycling information. Residents need to know what and where recyclable materials go to and how recycling can affect their lives. They need to know the harmful effects of landfills and be persuaded to divert their waste from these piles of trash that are buried underground. They need to know that recycling programs cost less than “It’s ridiculous. Many people already struggle to afford stuff, so I think the prices [of goods] should remain the same.� Roseann Stabile, Broad and Jackson streets

sending waste to landfills or incinerators. By convincing them that landfills poison our drinking water and that curbside recycling has economic benefits, local leaders would endow Philadelphia residents with the necessary knowledge and the realization that it would be foolish not to want to recycle. There are many ways in which we can resolve this recycling dilemma. First of all, we can talk to our City Council members, informing them why recycling is very important to the city and to us personally. We can ask to provide every household with the proper information and recycling equipment in order to increase participation and support. We also need better enforcement of the recycling law in Philadelphia, especially since some Philadelphians are unaware that a penalty exists for not recycling. We need to make recycling permanent and to the point where it is second nature. We can accomplish this if we work hard and are very dedicated. Devin Wong Southwest Philadelphia

For the record In the Feb. 25 story titled “The Top 12 Development Sites We’ll Watch Through 2016,� the South Philly Review used the term “blowback� to refer to reactions that Celeste Morello had received for some of her nominations to the Philadelphia Historical Commission, noting her interest in having historic designation granted to St. Charles Borromeo Church, 902 S. 20th St. On April 8, the commission looked favorably upon her nomination of the South-ofSouth house of worship. SPR would like to congratulate Ms. Morello and regrets using “blowback� in the aforementioned article. Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

“Everything is getting more expensive. It’s funny that the tax is going to be on sugary drinks because that’s definitely going to affect the poor and the middle class more so than it will affect the rich.� Christine Fisler, 1700 block of South 13th Street

haka Fattah, an 11-term Democrat representing Pennsylvania’s 2nd congressional district, which includes parts of South Philadelphia, will face sentencing Oct. 4 after his trial ended with a jury finding him guilty on 22 counts related to bribery, fraud, money laundering, and racketeering. In 2007, the politician, in his bid for mayor, borrowed $1 million from a donor and repaid part of the loan with charitable and federal grant funds that his nonprofit had received. The detailed indictment and the Justice Department added Fattah used funds from that unsuccessful run and congressional campaigns to help his son, Chaka Fattah Jr., who ended up convicted of felony bank and tax fraud charges in February, to pay off student loan debt. The document also included the allegation that Fattah agreed to help a political consultant to receive federal grant money for the latter’s forgiving a $130,000 campaign debt. It stated, too, that he accepted bribes while seeking to secure for former Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Herbert Vederman an ambassadorship or appointment to the U.S. Trade Commission. The decision marks another element to a turbulent year for the legislative branch member, whose indictment occurred in July and who lost his bid for another term in April, falling in the primary to Dwight E. Evans.

Police are after five figures who assaulted two people in Passyunk Square. At approximately 4:15 a.m. June 11, surveillance footage captured the individuals outside Geno’s Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., assaulting a man and his wife following the consumption of their food from the Passyunk Square-based eatery. The offenders then fled in a dark-colored pickup truck and an SUV, heading off in an unknown direction, with the vehicles bearing New Jersey license plates. Call Central Detective Division at 215-6863093 with DC#16-03-033203, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

8cdS\WZSa RSbOW\SR Responding to a radio call of a robbery in progress at 10:22 p.m. June 9, police headed to 13th Street and Oregon Avenue and while surveying the area for offenders, they observed two juvenile males walking north-

bound on the 2400 block of South Camac Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The robbery’s complainant came to the scene and identified the individuals as the perpetrators. Law enforcement officials recovered a BB gun from a jacket that they said the 14-year-old detained figure threw to the ground, placed the weapon on a property receipt, and recovered property belonging to the victim. Additional investigation into the matter tabbed the aforementioned adolescent and a 17-year-old accomplice as the offenders in robberies on the following dates: June 3, 9:30 p.m. on the 1900 block of Dudley Street, 11 p.m. on the 1700 block of South 16th Street, and 11:05 p.m. on the 1600 block of Morris Street; June 8, 10:20 p.m. on the 2600 block of South Juniper Street, and 10:30 on the 800 block of Wolf Street; and June 9, 10:20 p.m. on the 1900 block of Shunk Street.

0]bbZS bV`]eS` aWbSR The man responsible for throwing an aluminum beer bottle at Phillies’ first baseman Ryan Howard turned himself in on Friday. Sidney Smith, of Wilmington, Delaware, received a summary citation for disorderly conduct through South Detective Division, Officer Tanya Little of Police Public Affairs said, on account of his behavior at the June 4 game at Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way. When Howard grounded out to end the game, the aforementioned container landed on the playing field as a sign of a fan’s frustration. The slugger did not come into contact with the bottle, with the tosser leaving the game with no intervention by security. At 12:45 p.m. the next day, the team’s director of security reported the incident to police, who released the 21-year-old Smith following the issuance of the citation.

4W`S QZOW[a ' gSO` ]ZR Benjamin Boone, a beloved figure in his Grays Ferry community, died in a house fire June 9. Just before 2 a.m., the blaze broke out in a two-story rowhome on the 1700 block of South Taylor Street, the Fire Department said. Efforts to rescue “Uncle BB� did not prevail, as personnel found the 90-year-old on the first floor. Declaring the matter under control at 2:19 a.m., authorities noted, as of press time, that they had not determined a cause, with published reports also stating they had been looking to see if the abode had working smoke alarms.

n a conference room on the fourth floor of City Hall on Friday, councilmen Kenyatta Johnson and Curtis Jones Jr. bestowed Father’s Day citations on 27 patriarchs in a celebratory luncheon. Johnson, a Point Breeze native, seemed to have done the primary picking of honorees. A few familiar faces were present, namely, 2013 South Philly Review Difference Maker Tyrique Glasgow, whom Johnson said “represents the best of what South Philly has to offer�; and Jahmall Crandall, a “fine character� who helped to pioneer the installment of the Ralph Brooks Tot Lot at 20th and Tasker

The painter and poet studied both disciplines with an interdisciplinary bent at Temple University after graduating from St. Joseph’s Preparatory School. It’s exactly that combination that “14 Movements� celebrates – he’ll be working with Philadelphia poet laureate Yolanda Wisher and her book of poetry, “Monk Eats an Afro.� “I’m super-thrilled to be working with her; she’s such a wonderful artist and poet,� Tomezsko said. “I’m taking it as source material and abstracting it.� It’s a bright, multi-colored mural that will streets. 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla, quickly offered words, saying “we need people to stand with you and stand behind you,� which he finds with Councilman Johnson. “We know we have that with each other.� Johnson was tickled to read that Father’s Day was founded by a woman, namely Sonora Smart Dodd, an Arkansan who pushed for its celebration on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, WA. A new father himself, Johnson stressed that all kinds of folks could be celebrated for Father’s Day – “a step-father or a big brother or mentor relationship for someone else’s child – that’s what it’s all about, all the hard work and dedication.� A handful of the honorees were natives of South Philly, men Johnson has been interact-

Or Albert Custis, whom Johnson said is a “fine example of what a person can do when they change their life; he used to be a terror in the neighborhood.� Philadelphia Tribune writer Damon Williams had covered City Council for more than 20 years before being honored as a father. “You don’t shout you’re a good father, you can never be too good of a father,� the Overbrook Park resident said. -Bill Chenevert SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

ith an announcement Monday afternoon by the Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee, chaired by former Pennsylvania Governor and Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell, news spread that Broad Street would be beautified in advance of the Democratic National Convention (July 25-28). On North Broad, between Race Street and JFK Boulevard, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society will install 52 planters on both sides of Broad Street from City Hall to the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The Center City District will install a temporary red, white, and blue lighting array that will face south and illuminate City Hall from dusk to 4 a.m. July 23 to 28. But South Philly’s getting some love, too. Along South Broad Street from City Hall to Washington Avenue, “a mile-long temporary mural on the raised median will serve as a vibrant gateway between City Hall and South Philadelphia during the Convention,� according to a release. The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program will install “14 Movements: A Symphony in Color and Words� by Philadelphia artist and former South Philadelphian Mat Tomezsko. “We are thrilled to be able to refurbish part of one of the city’s main thoroughfares for our residents and visitors,� Rendell said. “The 14 Movements mural on South Broad will bring bold color and energy to one of the liveliest streets in Philadelphia and will demonstrate to the nation, and to the world, that our city is one that champions the value of beauty in public space,� Jane Golden, ex-

be attached to the median on durable vinyl and sealed by a clear acrylic sealant. “It wont’ be slippery, it’ll be grippy,� the artist explained. The all-weather and walked-on aspect of this installation inspires him, too. “Part of me is thinking it’s really cool because it will get worn down as people use it. If people love it, they can literally touch and walk on it and if they hate it they can spit on it – there’s something really exciting about that,� Tomezsko said. A funny parenthetical aside in an Inquirer piece about the news says “no word yet on whether parking will continue on the median further south on Broad during the convention.� The artist said that, in his first trips to measure the space and get a sense of the physical specifics, “looking south, it’s just nothing but cars.� The idea for the mural was actually born out of his collaboration with PHS on one of its first pop-up gardens at 19th and Walnut streets. “The project went nowhere until it was unearthed by the DNC, and I found myself back in action and looking at my old ideas from years ago,� he added. Wisher’s text, Tomezsko said, is a cyclical reflection on being a daughter, being an African-American woman, African-American cultural realities, and then having a daughter herself and the ongoing circle of life. He says it will be “around for eight weeks� and will be fully revealed just before the Convention begins. SPR

D;MI LIBRARIES continued from page 1 opening. “It’s brand new – everything is brand new. All the books and materials have never been touched.� She reported 2,400 visitors on the day of the opening, and 1,000 items checked out while 103 library cards were issued. But we really wanted to get some answers about Santore and Fumo – how could they get closed, and how on Earth can a library close for as long as a month? “We have a lot of old infrastructure that desperately needs some help. They are beautiful, beautiful buildings – the bones are great but they haven’t been getting any attention for a long time,� Horrocks said. Four libraries are currently being renovated and therefore temporarily closed. “It’s horrible, horrible, horrible. We obviously never want to be closed, but we do feel that when they return to the community, it will be a major improvement,� she added. “We’re holding some of them together with chewing gum. It’s heartbreaking.� Fumo is set to reopen Tuesday, July 5. With the fresh passage of a sugary drink tax from City Council, perhaps some of these issues may become a memory for future generations. “This June, our city took a powerful step forward in its commitment to our public library system. In passing the Soda Tax, we have ensured some $300 million in funding for public spaces, including the Free Library of Philadel-

phia,� Mayor Jim Kenney wrote in, via spokeswoman Lauren Hitt. “As we’ve seen with the rising temperatures and the related shuttering of library buildings due to HVAC and cooling problems, the need to invest in what has become a crumbling, aging system has never been more clear.� ACROSS SOUTH PHILLY’S Free Library branches, many innovative librarians and regular visitors have taken it upon themselves to propel the summer mission of the Free Library system – keep kids reading. Horrocks explained the back sliding phenomenon – “if children don’t keep reading at least five or six books then they will not go back to school reading at the level they left – they’ll lose at least three months,� she said. “It’s a huge problem. We make a big effort all through the summer to get children reading.� Lindsay Friedman, the children’s librarian at Santore, has done just that and created a voracious and devoted set of families in Bella Vista and Queen Village who flood the family-friendly branch all summer. “We’re so lucky for a lot of reasons in South Philly – I do think that no one’s trying to close libraries, and I think City Hall understands that,� she explained. “We’re trying to be open with more hours and more access. Around here, we traffic in children. We circulate a lot of children’s books and we try to give the community what they’re looking for if we can.� She talks about how getting kids into literary fun isn’t just picking the right books but including reading in activites that require play, singing, physical-

ity, exploration and experimentation. That’s where Jams in the Park was born, a weekly storytime and sensory activity hour every “fair-weathered� Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Dickinson Square Park, East Moyamensing Avenue and Tasker Street. Typical activities might include bubbles, volcanic simulations, magnet play, spin art with a salad spinner or food coloring creativity. Michelle Robinson, or Ms. Meesh as she’s often lovingly called, is a nanny who’s been working with South Philly families for five years. She runs a play group in Fishtown but found Lindsay one morning and their professional friendship has blossomed. “She let me do a storytime there and it’s just kind of branched off,� Robinson said. “I’m interested in artful experiences and getting kids dirty and messy and having them experience the world in different ways, and I love to provide that environment. It’s also just so much better without walls.� Horrocks said similar tactics have been used at other branches to get kids into the swing, like reading to a dog instead of a human, to side-step the struggles of judgment while sounding out words and sentences. They embrace whatever interests kids, too, like comics or graphic novels: “The whole purpose is to get children to explore the joy of reading, rather than the drudgery, and maybe make it more exciting than it is at school.� She also points out that libraries aren’t just for youths, and that it’s tragic if eager job-seekers are denied Internet access. Libraries, she pointed out, are also just safe havens and spaces for countless South Philly families.

Robinson has long linked visual arts with reading. She also connects, like many, a struggling school system with the essentiality of a robust free library. “I don’t understand why there isn’t more of a movement,� she confessed. “We’re a city with extreme poverty and with that comes education issues, and that also circles right back around to why the library is so important.� SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

sical has gained considerable acclaim, with Tony Award nominations, international and national tours, and translation into seven languages proving its clout. Hart and her peers, including South Philadelphians Fran Prisco and Ellie Mooney, began to bond in Vero Beach, Florida April 12, with the Riverside Theatre hosting the hijinks before the Walnut. Eager to entertain Keystone State dwellers with the script, especially because the production team has set the work in South Philly, Hart happily helps the overseers to delight venturers to the nation’s oldest theater through her intense connections to her colleagues and gratitude for her recent run of fortune. “I think my career has hit the stride that I’d wanted,� she said of her progression, with the Walnut endowing her with “amazing influences.� “I’m coming into contact with people who are fully invested in the collaborative process, and they make it all so worthwhile.� Those rewarding relationships have made Hart particularly proud that she desired a part in “Sister Act,� as her preparation for and execution of its storyline has further helped her to eradicate memories of the apprehen-

hough she achieved theatrical renown as a youth and a young adult, Melissa Joy Hart came to feel she would need to wait to ripen as a performer, believing that age 35 would yield a constant course of action for her creative bent. Six years beyond that digit, the resident of the 2300 block of South 12th Street has indeed developed a desirable presence in the acting annals and is proving a divine element of the Walnut Street Theatre’s production of “Sister Act.� “There is nothing that isn’t funny about this show,� the hilarious and harmonious hire said from the 207-yearold site that is staging the musical adaptation of the 1992 Whoopi Goldbergfronted film through July 17. “It’s just a good, good time, and there’s so much cohesion among the cast members that it doesn’t even feel like a job to me.� The Lower Moyamensing inhabitant is continuing her strong relationship with the theater behemoth by playing Sister Mary Patrick, one of the nuns offering care and compassion to disco diva Deloris Van Cartier as she resides in their convent after witnessing a crime.

sion that once cast a resolute cloud over her stage-based endeavors. “I was in the business at a young age, but it was tough for a long time to feel as if I were really, really immersed in it,� the actress, who is celebrating her first principal mainstage role for the Walnut, stated. “At this point, I’m definitely in the business, and I’m looking forward to testing myself more.�

SUBJECTING HERSELF TO scrutiny has resonated with the local figure since her days as a Lansdale-bred girl. Noting she was one of those children who cherished occasions to bring levity to loved ones, she quickly gravitated toward musical theater, holding that it could compel her to make artistic and personal revelations. “I wanted to make people laugh and have fun,� Hart said of the initial blessings possible through theater. “I always had that pull toward acting because I sensed that I could bring something to life in my way and strengthen the overall

integrity of a project.� Tackling community theater helped her dream to materialize, with the ambitious individual enhancing her comprehension of her discipline through undergraduate studies at the University of Hartford. Based on her impressive talents, the Connecticut institution offered her free rides in the vocal and musical theater tracks, with Hart selecting the second after the initial one proved unappealing and daunting. “I’ll value those experiences forever,� she said of her Nutmeg State stint. “I interacted with so many people who had such dedication to their craft, and I was able to explore a bit more because of the resources available to me. Looking back, I’d say everything opened up for me in terms of my musical theater aspirations when I was in college.� Regardless of her verve, Hart held firm in deliberating over when she felt stability would be hers as a performer, yet this stance did not keep her from residing in the theatrical realm, with an eight-year

tenure at the Wilmington-based Grand Opera House, through which she dedicated herself to community engagement through an arts management position, as her primary means of retaining regard for her contemporaries’ passion. The catalyst for the rediscovery of her zeal occurred in 2012, with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater hiring her to perform in “Assassins.� “I definitely took a leap of faith there,� she said of accepting the role, which led her to resign from her Delaware duties. “My mother was a huge source of direction and voice of reason because I had thought I would need to turn it down, but she said ‘When are you really going to give everything you have to this?’ Trying to do just that was definitely one of the best decisions that I have made.� Hart has shown her heart consistently since her Wisconsin-situated turn in the musical by Stephen Sondheim that is based on an idea by South Philly denizen Charlie Gilbert, returning to The Badger State the next year for “Rag-

time.â€? The Walnut Street Theatre has become a consistent employer, and she will continue to tout its tenacious devotion to powerful productions through “Marrying Matty.â€? She will also head to Norristown come the fall for Theatre Horizon’s “A New Brain.â€? By the time she begins her Montgomery County sojourn, Hart will have been wed for a little more than a month, as she and fiancĂŠ Matt Deutsch will marry Sept. 4, with Mooney, her best friend, set to be the maid of honor. “As with acting, but way more so, I’m excited for the next chapter in my life,â€? she said of her nuptials, for which she is gladly counting down the days (73 as of today). “I am really curious to see how it will all go.â€?

SOUTH PHILLY

t all started with a simple question. Uncle Nunzi was reading Dear Abby. A reader asked, “Is it okay if I use body lotion on my face?� Uncle turned to me after reading the question out loud (he has an annoying habit of reading the entire newspaper to me before I’ve had the chance to read it myself). “In my day, we used soap for all over the body.� “Yes,� I replied, “and you used the same bar of soap to wash the dishes, too.� In truth, Uncle had a point. One of my many guilty pleasures is Kiehl’s products. Like many other brands of skin care and bath products, Kiehl’s makes separate bath and shower products for the face, the body and face, and the hair. Kiehl’s recently discovered that it could make a product that actually could be used for the face, body, AND hair just like Uncle’s long-time-ago bar of soap. Imagine what progress brings! I’ve often wondered, just like the letter writer in Dear Abby, just what would happen if I used foot lotion on my face. Calluses on my nose? We enjoy the option of choosing a great variety of products in the United States. Is anyone else out there thinking that maybe we have too many choices? Take, for instance, that old standby favorite Breyers Vanilla Ice Cream. Breyers’ slogan for its vanilla ice cream was- “Look for the specks of real vanilla bean.� I spent hours staring at my ice cream when I was a kid searching for those little specks. Well, not actually, because the ice cream would’ve melted. But you get the idea. I always found my search quite rewarding when I found those little specks. My mother, ever the suspicious one, always felt the specks were really evidence of a dirt problem. If she could’ve vacuumed the ice cream, she would have. Henry Breyer, the son of founder William Breyer and the one responsible for incorporating the business in 1908, went to his great reward a long time ago (probably somewhere near the Big Dipper). Guys in suits have taken over. Today, Breyers markets four types of vanilla ice cream. Vanilla ice cream, that essence of simplicity, is no longer just a search for real specks of vanilla bean (although one can still look for them if so inclined). If you’re shopping for Breyers Vanilla ice cream these days, you’re forced to choose between Natural Vanilla (which leaves shoppers

ÂŽ a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [

to wonder if the other types are “unnatural vanilla�), French Vanilla (which isn’t really French at all in origin), Homemade Vanilla (which, strictly speaking, isn’t really “homemade� since this variety, as well as all the others, is presumably made in a manufacturing plant, not churned by a relative of Henry Breyers in his or her backyard), and Extra Creamy Vanilla (which makes you wonder why they couldn’t make the other three types extra creamy and saved us one fewer variety of vanilla ice cream). I’ve spent more time trying to figure out what type of vanilla ice cream I should purchase than I ever did searching for the specks of real vanilla bean. If you think it’s confusing buying ice cream or figuring out which part of your body you can wash or apply lotion to with which type of product, consider the once-simple, but now potentially stupefying, process of buying toothpaste. Remember when schools used to bring a dental hygienist into the classroom to instruct students on how to brush their teeth? The hygienist, always a perky, pretty lady with sparkling teeth (and without any benefit of any whitening products back then) used to tell us that we didn’t even have to use toothpaste to clean our teeth so long as we used the correct brushing motion. You could simply use salt water instead of toothpaste (this was before the authorities decided to put fluoride in our water supply and spark all kinds of conspiracy theories). Chances are if a school brought in anyone today to talk to pupils about taking care of their teeth, it would be the Director of Marketing. In his research, your columnist found that Colgate, for example, has two categories of toothpaste--Total and Regular or, as I would call the latter, Incomplete. I found a total (no pun intended) of seven types of toothpaste under both categories. In case you’re interested, here they are: Daily Repair (which sounds as if you need a construction company rather than a toothpaste); Teeth Whitening; Advanced Teeth Whitening (for Camel smokers?); Deep Cleansing Silica (comes equipped with a power drill); Bad Breath and Whitening (packaged in a plain wrapper); Clean Mint (as opposed to Dirty Mint?) and Mint Stripe (for preppy types). Note: You must see your dentist for advice on which type to use. I clogged a supermarket aisle for 90 minutes looking for a toothpaste that accomplishes all of the above. Uncle blames Baskin-Robbins for the proliferation of types and flavors of everything on supermarket shelves...from baked beans to coffee. Baskin-Robbins seemingly got into a “war� with Howard Johnson’s over which brand could market more flavors. The latter no longer markets ice cream. It surrendered much like the Soviet Union in the arms race during the Reagan Years. Unlike the Soviet Union, Howard Johnson’s is still in business with its chain of motels. A cautionary tale for Putin. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

Rosina’s Pound Cake

Cooking up an idea

D

ating back to the 18th century, pound cake has definitely put in the time in proving itself a delicious dessert option. South Philly has never been a stranger to its lure, with Rosina Maglio happy to entice eager eaters through her recipe submission. The 1900-block-of-South-Mole-Street resident assessed her work favorably, saying “This pound cake is delicious.� One could simply take the Point Breeze inhabitant’s word for it and not attempt to emulate the directions below, but following her lead will lead to a triumph of a treat. As summer enfolds, ovens will certainly become foreign to many locals, but this is one creation that should not wait until cold makes its comeback. SPR

Fat Joe’s Original Chubby Cakes

usiness owners, no matter their wares, can make themselves weary when engaging in research and development duties. Joe Beren has never found himself fighting fatigue to forge his focus, with 34 years of robust eating as the primary determinant in his mission to make Fat Joe’s, 1618 S. Columbus Blvd., a Pennsport powerhouse. “Food’s always been in my blood,� the resident of the 3000 block of South Smedley Street said from his thriving space. “My family instilled that in me, and I feel blessed to be able to have taken that passion and made something of it.� The proprietor has provided fellow South Philadelphians with the fruits of his feasts since 2010, with his establishment’s original location being 2550 S. Third St. In the business since 1997, the year he began assisting at his uncle’s cafe, Beren took the plunge as an overseer early last decade, opening Fat Joe’s Lunch Box on South Sheridan Street and Oregon Avenue. That venture eventually proved too taxing, so he wandered into other work yet came to feel again that the culinary world would best suit him. “I’m an all-or-nothing kind of guy, so I’m fully invested in making my customers happy because if not for them, where would I be?� Beren offered. “Thanks to my background and a ton of time watching The Food Network, I felt I could do things a bit differently than other people because I love variety.� Inspecting his site’s menu proves that, as it contains so many items, including specialty sandwiches dubbed The Shunk Street Strangler and The Frankensteak, that patrons could easily find themselves constantly saying “That sounds good, too!� when trying to make a selection. “Food is, or should be, all about imagination,� the energized entrepreneur said of his enthusiasm, which, possibly, by October, will yield Fat Joe’s House, a spot that he hopes

will prove a stellar addition to South Philly’s diner scene. He validates his attraction to ingenuity through the homemade Chubby Cakes, which he characterized as “a late-night kind of thing,� owing to their sales history. “You’ll have to be in the mood for them,� he said of the cookie- or cereal-crusted sandwiches, “and fortunately for us, everybody loves them. They’re great when you want a munchie item, but regardless of the time of day, I’d say the product speaks for itself. The filling is definitely key, so we give our guests options. Feel free to be as diverse if you make them at home.�

CELEBRATING HIS 10TH year as an assistant coach, Joseph Messina, who played for the program back in its days as St. John Neumann High School, formerly 2600 Moore St., has found himself around many tremendous players, with 13 graduates playing college ball this year and two alumni, Al Baur and Josh Ockimey, having made the professional leap. He had witnessed many outstanding runs in the state pageant before this one, including last year’s, when the Saints fell 9-0 to Neshannock, and knew after this tournament’s opener, a 5-1 dumping of Lancaster Catholic and stud pitcher Dillon Marsh, that they “weren’t going to be denied� this time around.

Along with upping the confidence of the inhabitant of the 2700 block of South Marvine Street, the inaugural contest marked the last time his staff would yield a run, as North Penn-Mansfield, North Schuylkill, and Bishop McCort would find themselves wondering how scoring might have felt. Pritchett obviously played his part, with his dynamic right arm tossing seven of the nine innings in the quarters and going the distance in the final. “It’s amazing to think that we’re a part of the best team in school history,� the Camden occupant, who allowed only three hits and whiffed eight in the capper and who pitched 26 scoreless innings to end his career, said. “We came into this year wanting to win three championships, and that’s exactly what we did. Nobody can take that away from us.� “We became hot just when we needed to,� D’Amore, who will join Pritchett as a Wagner University registrant, said of collecting 13 straight wins to add to his alma mater’s trophy case. “It was a crazy feeling to get it done, especially because of what happened last year.� The resident of the 2400 block of South Hicks Street and his peers needed to wait 370 days to exorcise fully the sting of their institution’s initial trip to the state final, but when Pritchett tossed a comebacker to Testa for the final out, everyone could bask in the joy of a championship celebration. “I think we embraced a bit of the doubt that people had about us,� Schneider said of the identity of his gang as it struggled

for consistency. “We had to go out and show people that this team definitely still deserves respect and stands as an example of what can happen when there are great connections among the coaches and the players. It’s going to be a fun summer to celebrate.� The playoff exuberance began when they pulled off a walk-off win against St. Joseph’s Prep to claim the Catholic League plaque, their fifth in eight seasons. Blanking MaST Charter 6-0 gave them their sixth straight City crown, and they entered the 16-team state affair with complete commitment to notching timely hits, playing stellar defense, and leaving opposing batters shaking their heads. All told, including the Catholic League and City matchups, the Saints outscored their adversaries 32-7, with the staff of Pritchett, Ciocco, Jared Healey, and Joseph Messina Jr. amassing an unbelievable 0.63 earned-run-average, with every player’s contributions letting observers know that when Schneider asked them what they want for people to remember them as, the only answer was “champions.� “This team will always be remembered for being the first, but with the young talent we have, we believe it’s only the first of many,� the elder Messina said. “... We need to let every grade school parent and kid interested in baseball and academics knows that when they come to NG, they will be part of something that will last a lifetime.� SPR Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

ith his baseball club off to a slow start about a quarter into their campaign, coach Kevin Schneider asked his charges at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., whether they were content to register a decent year or utterly devoted to making an unprecedented date with history. The teenagers took the inquiry as motivation to maximize their talent and tenacity, with his East Passyunk Crossing-based bunch securing the first diamond-situated state title in school history June 16. “This marks the culmination of a crazy year all possible through hard work,� Schneider said of last week’s 3-0 Class AA victory over Bishop McCort. “These guys are blue-collar, hard-nosed players who gave their all and made this such a memorable experience for themselves and their families. I’m so proud of them.� In downing their Johnstown foes at Penn State’s Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, the Plymouth Meeting denizen and the local heroes completed a sweep of the Catholic League, Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association District 12, and state titles, ripping off eight triumphs in doing so. The postseason prowess raised their record to 20-6, with each game, no matter the result, being an indication of their allegiance to one another. “This season was about every guy giving his all,� Brian Verratti, arguably the heart and soul of the Saints’ roster, said of his unit’s remarkable run. “We know how

fortunate we are to put on the NeumannGoretti uniform, so we wanted to wear it one more time as winners.� The resident of the 2800 block of South 16th Street and an impending West Chester University student proved the early catalyst for the decorated squad, scoring in the top of the first inning to give hurler Ethan Pritchett the lone tally he would require. He also made the duel less of a nail biter in the fifth frame by stroking a tworun triple, furthering his dedication to the “Losing is unacceptable� notion that has become a bit of a team mantra. “Our seniors were huge this whole year,� Schneider said in acknowledging Verratti, Pritchett, third baseman Nicky D’Amore, pitcher Jeff Ciocco, and first baseman Lou Testa. “With the combination of them and the young guys we had to rely on, the momentum just grew and grew.�
