veryone knows that a teenager, even one on the verge of adulthood, can possess fickle ambition. Being wayward does not appeal to Zahnay Blakney, however. As Miss Teen Pennsylvania, the composed 17-year-old will further her impressive modeling career at next week’s All American Pageant. No matter the outcome, she knows the event will pulse with the “crazy energy” that has marked her runway existence. The vivacious adolescent earned her opportunity to spend Aug. 3 to 5 at the Ramada Inn Philadelphia Airport South in See BLAKNEY page 9

ne wonders if novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, who lamented “There are no second acts in American lives,” would adopt the same philosophy for restaurants. The personnel at La Stanza, 2001 W. Oregon Ave., hopes its recent appearance on the Food Network’s “Restaurant: Impossible” proves good fortune
can lead to great fortunes. Desiring a new identity, the 12-year-old establishment served as the site for the second episode of the show’s second season. Hard times had concocted enough woes to cause the Italian eatery’s management to search for assistance. “We had nowhere else to turn,” manager Lucia Tripodi said before Friday’s dinner service. “The next step was probably to lock the door.”
John Tripodi, Lucia’s father, became involved with the location seven years ago as the ground floor’s partial owner and the overseer of The Loft, the second-floor nightclub. The former chief owner’s legal troubles led to a proprietorship transfer and the assumption of $600,000 in debt for the patriarch. Primarily a construction worker, he placed his daughter in charge in See FOOD NETWORK page 8

To the Editor; It has been 20 years since Mayor Frank Rizzo died (“A prayer for a mayor,” July 21), the last of the real heroes and great mayors of Philadelphia. He told the truth the way it’s supposed to be. He was the true-life Captain America! For example, when asked if the streets were safe, he answered: “Yes, it’s the people who are not safe.” When asked the definition of a conservative, he said: “A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.” Carlo Gonnella South Philadelphia To the Editor; I was touched by your story about the best mayor this city ever had. He helped to make this city safe for people. I was very lucky to have worked under Mayor Rizzo when I was a cop in Philly. I retired back in 1980. I have a lot of stories about Frank. The day I heard that he died, I said to myself “It can’t be.” It only took one week that I came up with the idea to create a bronze statue to have bronze memorial for him. I called a few big shots and one of them told me to call Jody Della Barba, so I did. We talked for about an hour. She said let’s do it, so we did it. It took about 10 years to get it done. When I drive in Center City and I pass the bronze statue of Frank, I say to my grandkids “I had something to do about it.” I still have papers with the story of how we got started. If he had lived, no one would have beat him for the run of mayor. He was hard on you as a cop, but he was like a lamb. Rest in peace Mayor Rizzo. Joe Ricci South Philadelphia

Asking questions To the Editor: In regards to the incident that occurred in Norway involving the many lives that were taken by possibly one person, it is very scary not knowing what people are thinking and not knowing what one may be contemplating. Whether it’s a family member, friend or neighbor, it can be quite devasting. In many cases, the troubled
person is contemplating a destructive act and usually conceals his or her intensions very well. What can we as a concerned community do to prevent such devastation, which appears to show no discrimination or preference in regards to one’s background or social status? How can a community or household detect instability or preconceived acts of destruction in individuals who do not overtly send out messages? What can we, as a community, do to alleviate inhome and outside-of-home destructive acts? How can we help the troubled individuals before they harm others? This is very serious and prevalent.

Breathing easier To the Editor: In preparing for the annual ritual of scouring store shelves for school supplies and the latest fall fashions, students with asthma — and their parents — should know they face an even bigger concern that must be addressed before the school year starts: Their health in the classroom. According to the American Lung Association, asthma is the most common chronic childhood disorder in the nation, affecting an estimated seven million children. In Pennsylvania, an estimated 246,018 children suffer from asthma. It is one of the main illnessrelated reasons students miss school, accounting for more than 14 million missed school days in the U.S. Asthma can be life-threatening if not properly managed. It’s important for Pennsylvanian students and their families to prepare and sustain a detailed action plan that helps to manage their asthma and ease the transition back to school. To help with this, the American Lung Association has developed a back-to-school checklist for parents who have children with asthma. A seven-step checklist and other asthma resources are available at www.lungusa.org by searching for the keyword phrase “Back to School.” Let’s help our children breathe a lot easier. Deb Brown President and CEO American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic
Keeping a memory alive To the Editor: We have formed a team for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk, and we hope you will join us. Light the Night Walk is the society’s annual walk and fundraising event — and the nation’s night to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Teams of friends, families or co-workers raise funds for cancer research and to provide services in their communities. Walkers carry illuminated balloons — white for survivors, red for supporters and gold for those who have lost a loved one to blood cancer. As you may know, every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. This statistic represents nearly 148 people each day or more than six people every hour. Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20. This year, Team Hope is walking to remember Michael Worosila. Michael was diagnosed with AML Leukemia April 8, 2010 — shortly before his fifth birthday. He was lucky enough to find a bone marrow match and had his transplant in September 2010. Weeks later the doctors were amazed that he was 100 percent donor and in remission. He later developed some complications. He fought a hard battle and surprised his family when he bounced back Feb. 15. Sadly, Michael lost his battle against this horrible illness only 10 days later. Michael was only 5 when he was taken by Leukemia. Your help will make a difference. Please consider helping Team Hope reach our goal of $2,000. For more information or to donate online, visit http://pages.lightthenight.org/ epa/Phi11/TeamHopeHopeforAcure. The walk is Oct. 22 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art at Eakins Oval.

y this time next week, I am probably not going to look at food. Spending three days at the Food Network Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival is sure to make for a tasty and refreshing weekend, but how much can one eat? It’s hard to believe that another year has passed since the last one. For those foodies out there who are heading down to A.C., don’t feel that because an event is scheduled for three hours that you have to spend the entire time eating. With so many of the festivities overlapping, it’s OK to leave one feast early and move on to the next one. Consider taking a shopping break at

FOOD NETWORK continued from page 1 January 2009. Her relative inexperience, a controversy over serving minors alcohol and a sluggish economy caused La Stanza to struggle to attract bodies and retain dollars. Michele Tripodi, John Tripodi’s sister, completed an Internet application for “Restaurant: Impossible” in February. A phone interview with Lucia Tripodi and a stop at the restaurant led to a March announcement that filming with chef and host Robert Irvine would begin in May. “My aunt’s decision made me a bit nervous,” Lucia Tripodi, a New Jersey resident and native of the 3000 block of South Smedley Street, said, “but I knew we had to keep up with the new look of restaurants.” Interviews and service observations comprised May 3, with Irvine arriving the next day. Fond of being forward, he immediately critiqued the ambience, the food and Lucia Tripodi. “I had watched the show before, so I expected his bluntness,” the 25-year-old said, revealing she had seen the space as “an open cave” with no true division between the banquet and lounge areas. The show gave Irvine two days and $10,000 to modify the space’s atmosphere. Food analysis involved the fewest suggestions, as chef Marco Decotiis noted the oncamera commentary differed from other perceptions Irvine offered. “It’s television so I know there are two versions,” the Canadian native and 16thand-Ritner-streets resident said. “Robert said our food is not bad, but the show sort of made it seem so.” Irvine spent little airtime in the kitchen, proof that menu tweaks did not top his concerns. He talked with DeCotiis about new dishes, including a tapas menu to allow patrons to share plates. The visitor expressed no qualms with their existing menu, tabbing the tapas, also known as appetizers, as means to enable people to eat more and to generate more income. “The Food Network told me it had looked into me and realized I’m a good cook,” Decotiis said of knowing he would not suffer the most slings. Irvine burdened Lucia Tripodi with most of his gripes, labeling her the main problem. He assigned that title primarily because of her refusals to taste the food, communicate enough with DeCotiis and arrive before noon. “I was scared to take over the restaurant,” she said Friday, adding her role led to the interruption of her college career. “With our situation, I had to take the help.” IRVINE DISHED OUT aid instantly, helping her to become more familiar with the fare by having her guess the costs of menu items. Her struggles caused him to become
MANE ATTRACTION continued from page 7 The officers chatted with people they passed and posed for many photos telling the fans — mainly donning flip flops — to watch their feet as they stood next to the four-legged animals. The horses were calm, quiet and patiently stood still for each photo, but at one point, loud music emanating from Michael Ward’s vehicle briefly startled Steve, but Cannady controlled him by directing him to walk back and forth over a short stretch of the parking lot. “They both seem calm now,” the Essington resident said after the horse settled down. “I didn’t want a hoof through my windshield. I have insurance, but that would suck going home.”

more adamant about her need to learn her job’s full responsibilities. “I know the point of the show was to make people feel bad for us,” she said of her depiction as someone with a fledgling handle on matters. “I wish it would have discussed our past more to let people know we had so much to overcome.” Concerned with the future, Irvine had the restaurant emptied, and work began his first evening. Eager to help his protégé, he woke her early the next morning to convince her of his severity. He found his workers behind schedule but left them to their tasks to prepare her for a television promotion. From the kitchen, she made a confident pitch that earned plaudits. “That’s the person I want running this restaurant,” Irvine said. “It was frightening at first, kind of nerveracking,” Lucia Tripodi said Friday of her spokeswoman role. Irvine helped the servers to feel confident about representing the revamped spot by reviewing the menu. He made his last pre-opening meeting with Lucia Tripodi a guide to pricing items before retreating to will his workers to finish painting, flooring and lighting work for the 6 p.m. opening. The show crafted announcements to draw almost 200 diners. The restaurant’s 3,500 square feet proved so daunting that Irvine requested extra help from John Tripodi. Even with added hands, the burly Brit missed his deadline. Before the eager eaters entered, he invited the Tripodis to peruse the handiwork. “This was the toughest makeover ever,” he said before they inspected the divided space complete with mirrors, hanging doors and new sconces.
Lucia Tripodi immediately placed her hands over her mouth to express her contentment. The restaurant seats 61, so she was able to obtain plenty of exercise in conversing with customers. “I had never really known about having to talk with everyone, so I’ve increased my interaction,” she said. The delayed start meant possible disaster for DeCotiis and his staff, but they succeeded in offering flavors that won favors. “We needed to become a sexier, hipper, younger restaurant,” DeCotiis said, adding that Irvine’s visit has given him a chance to use new ingredients and techniques. “Aesthetically, it feels as if I am in a new restaurant.” The opening night, which included a celebration of Lucia Tripodi’s 25th birthday, blended the tapas and ordinary menus. “I’ve been able to put my personal touches on the new items,” DeCotiis said. “This business is all about pleasing those who walk through the doors.” Lucia Tripodi enjoys her ventures through the doors much more. “The hardest part was hearing the critiques,” she said of Irvine’s deliveries. “The greatest thing I learned is that I need to be here more.” She and DeCotiis learned the July 13 premiere drew solid ratings, and Irvine called to express his regards. Business has climbed slightly, and she hopes the décor and food will captivate eyes and appetites. “The show was such an emotional journey that has inspired me,” she said.

WITH THE ONSET of the new administration, Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey wanted to revive the mounted unit, which dates back to 1889, so he asked McCann, who was assigned to his office at that time, to lead the unit again. While the budget crisis postponed its relaunch, the Philadelphia Police Foundation helped to secure funding until it can be folded into the City budget. The Newark, N.J. police department donated four horses including Steve and Johnny — named for fallen Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski and Officer John Pawlowski, respectively — after its unit recently disbanded. Currently housed in Ambler, the horses are transported to the city for their assignments until a closer home is found with a stable tentatively planned to be built in Fairmount Park. Until then, it takes about 90 minutes to prep and drive the horses to certain parts of the city, but the benefits outweigh the lengthy travel time as their presence makes people less confrontational and helps to build community relations. “My experience has been with the horses you can get negative situation under control faster, which will prevent injury to police and the public,” McCann said. “There’s a plus for everyone involved. It would save costs and prevent injuries.” James King of West Chester was pleased with their presence. “The bottom line is I like to see them here because it’s a sense of safety,” he said following a brief chat with the officers. “I think it’s neat,” Jay Billups, of Second and McKean streets, added after passing the pair of horses on his way into the ballpark. “I know they use it for crowd control. A horse can move a lot more people than a couple of cops.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L. Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

AN INVITATION ALLOWED Blakney to participate at the Barbizon event.

Essington by capturing November’s first annual Miss Barbizon Competition. The Media gathering endowed the resident of 19th and Mifflin streets with extra confidence, though she had brimmed with enough already. “I’ve never doubted myself,” Blakney said from the Point Breeze home she shares with Pamela Frazier, her mother and manager. “Modeling is what I want to do.” Her immediate affinity began at 11 through attendance at Center City’s John Robert Powers Modeling, Finishing School and Agency, Frazier’s former haunt. The location landed Blakney her first show and intensified her love of snipping pictures from magazines. Her chances at having others inspect her shots increased at 13, when a response to a call initiated her current relationship with Ardmore’s Barbizon of Philadelphia. Its Chique division has swelled her show tally to nearly 50 appearances, including stops at Center City’s Liberty Place and Merriam Theater, and led to June 2010’s photo gig for New York’s Urban Socialites magazine. Seeking a career defined by inspection and analysis of one’s body proves Blakney has allowed her emotional growth to approach the rapidity of her physical maturation. “I used to be very shy,” she said. “From the beginning until now, I have realized my potential.” Her height helps her to accumulate corporeal compliments, but Blakney knows a well-rounded nature will foster a more fulfilling life. “I feel people always have to prepare for new opportunities in order to progress,” she said of warding off stagnation. Her eagerness to evolve led Blakney to explore theater as an eighth-grader at Queen Village’s St. Peter’s School, 319 Lombard St. “I love theater because performances let me become someone new,” she said of her 15 credits. Her creative impulses made applying to the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., a fruitful decision. A senior-to-be at the Hawthorne institution, Blakney joined the CAPA Caravan last year. The group treks to Philadelphia public schools such as Chester A. Arthur School, 2000 Catharine St., and Andrew Jackson School, 1213 S. 12th St. to state theatrical efforts that advocate for kindergarteners and middleschoolers to develop a love of reading. The theater major and National Honor Society member has appeared on the honor roll all three years and boasts a 3.79 grade point average in a roster heavy with
am on the runway,” she said. “I get chances to wear clothes I would never wear and meet people who would have remained strangers.” Her travels have brought meetings with a few notable folks, including Victoria’s Secret model Chanel Iman, whom she encountered in New York City last summer. Iman, Audrey Hepburn and Tyra Banks rank as her fashion icons, but Iman holds the profession to which Blakney aspires to enjoy. “I need to make connections to achieve that goal,” she said. With her willingness to shun shyness, she seems posed to become familiar with ample headliners. They could make her acquaintance through next week’s competition, but other opportunities will come from appearances at September’s Philly Fashion Week and the fall completion of college applications. “I have a desire to move to New York to go to [New York University] to gain even more experience with balancing priorities,” she said. Blakney loves the local fashion scene, too, but deems New York’s more competitive and with far more dramatic shows that require putting forth one’s best effort. Philadelphia and Temple universities may convince her to remain close to home, but geography will not matter in her choice of a major and a minor, business and communications, respectively. Her non-exclusive status enables her to seek dual representation, so she signed with Kaback Model Management, 125 South St., in February. At every turn, her mother has offered guidance. “This is the life she wants and has worked hard to achieve,” Frazier said. “I know she will do so much more.” Blakney hopes whatever exposure she earns will be enough to give her time in Japan, her dream modeling locale. “Tokyo would be great but one day at a time,” she said. “Zahnay had a quiet personality when we met,” Brown, who also offers Blakney exercise and nutritional consultation, said. “I heard her sing and told her she has much more voice than she thought she had.” Enamored with watching artists’ development, Brown has seen Blakney’s personality thrive as a result of a “wide growth spiral.” Having worked with Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris, Mary J. Blige, Lil’ Kim and Wyclef Jean, among others, he is accustomed to accompanying accomplished gures. He expects Blakney to be as eminent. “Zahney has plenty to offer,” he said. “I have all the faith I’ll be riding in her limousine at any moment.” SPR

Teen enters plea for murder A teen averted a jury trial by pleading guilty to third-degree murder Monday. Renardo Amador will be behind bars for 17-and-a-half to 40 years after he pled guilty to third-degree murder of a Grays Ferry man, according to court records. The charge was lowered from second-degree Sept. 7. As a part of the plea agreement, all other charges, including theft and firearm violations, were dropped. The 18-year-old admitted to shooting 67-year-old Harvey Marinoff in the head and back in Marinoff’s basement on the 1600 block of South Bailey Street at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 5, 2010, according to police. Amador is believed to have known the man and stole his car and cell phone. Police arrested him the following night.

arm was ever seen. He is also believed to be responsible for an attempted robbery at a Center City Bank of America July 19. Digman’s last known address is on the 3500 block of Frankford Avenue — not far from the alleged North Philly robberies, Klaver said. He is also known to frequent South Philly and Kensington. An employee at the halfway house where Digman resided prior to his release identified him July 14 after seeing bank surveillance video, according to the indictment. The next day authorities interviewed his mother who said the photos from the first PNC incident “strongly resembled her son,” according to the indictment. She had not heard from him since his release but believed “he may be engaged in illegal activity.” She reached out to authorities July 18 after declining to give Digman money he requested for fear “that without income, he would likely commit another robbery.” Digman is described as a white, 5-foot10, thin, with arm tattoos including the word “Sherry” on his right forearm.

A Point Breeze native readies his cast to take the stage at the Merriam for a new play that he is premiering for one night only. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor
P
reparations for “For Better or For Worse” began in January. But locals will only have one night to see the play written and produced by Rick Watson, who hails from 22nd and Catharine streets. “This is the first play I’ve done for one night. We’re looking for new promoters, so we’re only playing in Philadelphia for one night only,” Watson said. “For Better or For Worse,” which will grace the stage at the Merriam Theater July 30, is the seventh staged work by the playwright. The story follows a married couple, where the husband’s adultery gets him tangled in a homicide and the wife eventually reveals she has secrets of her own. “I write all different kinds of stories. I think all writers tell the same story, but we all tell it differently,” Watson said. “I thought about my parents and I wanted to do a couple plays
‘This is the first play I’ve done for one night’ — Rick Watson
Lifestyles continued from previous page about marriage. … I was planning for it to be what I am doing with it now. I got enough recognition that I wanted to start going to very large venues.” While the July 30 showcase will hopefully attract and attach a promoter, Watson has already laid out a 12-city tour that he intends for “For Better or For Worse,” and he will go it alone if he must. The cast includes, R&B singer Tony Terry, Yvette Money, Tank and John Canada. “I’m overly excited it’s going well. The cast is really doing well. I feel that I am criticizing the very last things. We feel great about it,” he said. “The following I have and the new people that come to see it, they are going to be very, very impressed. This is something different and it’s urban theater. We’re very ready and the songs are beautiful. We’re oh so ready.” Watson has the advantage of a large family who remains in the South of South area where he still makes his home. Though not everyone can attend, he expects to have a good showing of supporters on opening night. “I have a huge family, so like half of them [came to my last play]. In any huge family, you have lots of different personalities. But my family, they even help sometimes. They come out and they all help me with
anything I need,” Watson said. “You need people you can trust to count the money and stuff. My family is very supportive.”

I was kind of overwhelmed.” Part of the program is working to get kids to listen, which is something Watson feels personally failed him as a youth. “I try to bring out people to speak to the kids about making better decisions. We have entertainment and education together. I figured if I give kids what they want and what they need, they would be more attentive,” he said. “I want to make sure as I grow, I have a foundation for my giving back.” As he embarks on the latest chapter of his professional growth with the opening of “For Better or For Worse” at the largest venue he has played to-date, Watson is thankful for all the success so far and hopeful for more to come. “I want people to see how much, how detrimental things can get, how bad it can get when you go astray and how the true love you started with can be broken,” Watson said of the new work. “No matter how much temptation comes you have to remember what is really important to you.” SPR Comment at news/lifestyles.

Summer rant
S
Rhoda Williams (Brit Marling) kills a family excluding the father in a tragic car accident the same night Earth 2, a new planet is discovered.
By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer
A
n easy, low-blow criticism of “Another Earth” would be a play on its very premise — a declaration of hope that, in a parallel universe, on our duplicate orb, there’s a better version of the film. Humoring such a notion is precisely what makes this multiple Sundance award winner worthy of slightly more consideration and slightly less snark. Its heady backdrop of big ideas is what memorable car rides home are made of, and its low-budget tackling of high-concept, Hollywood-ready material is catnip for anyone whose senses seek vengeance on the “Transformers” trilogy. Presenting a tableau in which an identical globe — with an identical culture — hovers in our atmosphere, it begs questions like, “What would you do if you knew there were another you?” Sadly, these bold, ambitious thought bubbles are burst by amateurish craft and a failed effort to juxtapose the awesome with the intimate. To its credit, “Another Earth” helps boost the growing line of arthouse productions that bring gritty realism to the sci-fi genre, and director/co-writer Mike Cahill deserves kudos for thinking big. Charting the atonement of a young ex-con (Brit Marling) amidst the world’s struggle to reconcile the new planet’s emergence, his film offers a timely evocation of the first moon landing, and the looming, global dread of an apocalyptic thriller. But the newbie filmmaker rarely ceases to sugar up his drama with needless formal tricks, all of which show the seams in both his instincts and experience level. If not blaring the score to make sure you know
the conflict’s coming, he’s compromising his handheld style with risible, violent zooms, and using grainy superimposition to emphasize ... what? Worse still is a hollow, clichéd tale of grief with inconsistent personalities, phantom plot threads that should have been cut, and an ill-advised romance that’s awkward at best. Cahill thrives when his head’s in the stars, but falters on a human scale. Likewise, “Another Earth” is a great conversation piece, so long as the conversation doesn’t involve technical savvy, character continuity or good, old-fashioned gravity.
Another Earth PG-13 Two reels out of four Opens tomorrow at the Ritz East
Recommended Rental Cold Weather Not Rated Available Tuesday Set in writer/director Aaron Katz’s rainy hometown of Portland, Ore., “Cold Weather” is a beautifully shot, micro-budgeted mystery, following the Sherlock-Holmesobsessed Doug (Cris Lankenau) as he reconnects with his sister and aims to crack a curious case involving his ex-girlfriend. Katz does much with little in this clearly personal film, one of 2011’s gems. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at www.southphillyreview.com/arts-andentertainment/movies.

o tell me again, how hot is it? It’s so hot that people resumed saying, “Hot enough for you?” I want to know who is it that invented the heat index? When the temperature hits 100, do we need Kathy Orr to tell us the heat index is 110? Kathy is telling her viewers that folks should check to see whether seniors are OK in this heat. Do I need my kids calling me every half-hour to make sure I have the air conditioner turned on? Meanwhile, PECO informs us we should be careful about running our air conditioners because it places stress on their power grid. Memo to PECO: This is when I need to run my air conditioners — all of them! I just corresponded with U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey. I wrote to Pat that he ought to consider voting for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA as it is known. DOMA essentially prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages, even if that marriage is legal in the state in which it was performed. For example, a gay couple could be married in the state of New York, but if they move to Pennsylvania their marriage is not recognized. The law prohibits gay married couples from receiving benefits otherwise accorded to heterosexual married couples. Toomey responded by thanking me for sharing my views with him and I can be sure that if and when he gets the opportunity to vote on repeal of DOMA, he will be certain to consider my views. Toomey goes on to write that he believes marriage is “sacred” and is “best” defined as being between a man and a woman. This last line in his response caused me to doubt just a little bit whether my views would really be considered at all. I wrote back. I mentioned to Toomey that I hoped he wasn’t implying that gay couples don’t view marriage as a “sacred” institution. (Dear reader, we both know straight couples who view marriage as being so sacred they keep divorcing and marrying repeatedly just so they can obtain the sacrament of matrimony as often as they receive communion). I also pointed out the South once had miscegenation laws that prohibited marriage between races. The South probably felt marriage between people of the same race best defined marriage. Progress being what it is, those laws were struck from the books and the South has moved on. Hopefully Toomey will get the
connection (I’m making the leap of faith that he doesn’t consider miscegenation a state’s rights issue). It does not pay to be insolent when you are trying to get someone to change their mind, particularly a U.S. senator. I decided against adding that there is really no reason in 2011 that anyone should have to ask the permission of Toomey in order to get married, except maybe his offspring. I signed the letter “Thomas and Frances Cardella, a happily married straight couple of 47 years.” I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little tired of restaurants that use the slogan “farm to table.” With seemingly almost every bite, the waitstaff is compelled to tell you the local farm of origin. “Sir, those string beans were grown organically at Ed’s Farm in Lancaster and are topped with bits of Kennett Square button mushrooms, chopped tomatoes from Alice Perriwinkle’s garden. Oh, did I mention that the cream in the sauce was produced from a cow raised in a South Jersey meadow?” The next course was poultry, which was from a hysterically happy free-range chicken that was allowed to watch HBO before its head was chopped off. Last year, I had the misfortune to eat in a South Jersey restaurant (I could actually end the sentence right there). It was Farm to Fork week. The mixed vegetables looked as if they were raised on farms run by Birds Eye. Question: If the craze continues, will we never enjoy imported food in a restaurant again? I have a way to solve “runaway” government spending in the future. Voters will be required to list three government programs that directly benefit them and they will be significantly cut or eliminated to balance the budget. If voters are unwilling to have their favorite programs cut, they will have to agree to pay higher taxes. This requirement will effectively end the Tea Party forever and probably give Michele Bachmann a migraine. I just came back from a week in Ocean City, N.J., where they proved that the best things in life are no longer free. Beach tags are to this generation what pay toilets were to my generation. If you bill yourself as a family resort, don’t you have an obligation to avoid charging families to spend time at the beach? I don’t buy the argument that resorts need revenue from beach tags for maintenance of the beaches. It is obvious the beach fees aren’t going toward providing more lifeguards. They’re posted blocks apart so that if you want to swim in the ocean you are herded into small areas. You think that beach fees are primarily designed to keep out day-trippers? Whatever happened to the saying, “It’s not the heat; it’s the humidity?” SPR

We source our vegetables and cheese from local and organic farmers when possible. Buying from local farmers saves transportation fuel, supports the local economy, and helps preserve New Jersey open space. Buying local also makes for fresher and more delicious ingredients. Our authentic imported Italian wood fired brick oven achieves cooking temperatures of 750 to 1000 degrees. Each pizza cooks fully in 2 minutes or less. We use hard wood, usually cherry or apple, to heat the oven.

Figs have made their coast-to-coast journey into local stores. These colorful and flavorful treats can be featured in a variety of ways. By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist
O
n a brutally hot July afternoon, Chef Pierre Calmels arrived in my kitchen cradling a lobe of Hudson River Valley foie gras and a container of figs. Calmels and his wife Charlotte own the delightful Bibou, a Passyunk Square BYOB. He was about to teach me how to clean and prepare a terrine of foie gras. “Seared figs are delicious with foie gras,” he said as he pulled a sauté pan from my drawer. My friend, chef Christopher Thames, was on hand to watch and enjoy Calmel’s delicious culinary magic. Chris nipped over to Whole Foods for a baguette and some water biscuits to enjoy with the foie gras and naturally sweet figs. I forgot how delicious and nutritious figs are until I received a full-color calendar from the California Fig Advisory Board. I received a copy because California fig growers support Les Dames d’Escoffier, an interntional nonprofit for women in the food, wine and hospitality industries. I’ve been a member for many years. I learned California produces 100 percent of America’s dried figs and 98 percent of fresh figs. Although we can buy dried figs 12 months a year, fresh ones are in season from mid-May through December. There are five major varieties of Califor-
nia fresh figs: black mission are available dried and fresh. They have a purple and black skin with a deep earthy profile like a fine cabernet sauvignon; calimyrna are available fresh and dried. They have a pale yellow skin and a nutty taste like chardonnay; kadota are available fresh and dried and have a creamy amber skin with a light flavor like a sauvignon blanc; brown turkey are available fresh only. They have a light purple skin with a robust flavor like a pinot noir and sierras which are available dried and fresh. They have a light-colored skin with fresh sweet notes like a Riesling.
Seared Fresh Black Mission Figs Ingredients: 6 fresh California black mission figs, cut in half lengthwise Fine granulated sugar as needed Olive oil as needed 6 ounces of Brie, sliced Crisp fried bacon, for garnish 6 slices of baguette or crackers
Directions: Sprinkle the figs very lightly with the sugar. Lightly coat the bottom of a frying pan with the oil. Heat until very hot. Arrange the fig halves, cut side down, in the pan and sear for about two minutes. Cool and arrange cut side up on baguette slices or
crackers and top with the Brie and bacon. Serves six.
Mediterranean Fig Chutney Ingredients: 1 1 1 2 1 1
tablespoon of olive oil small onion, thinly sliced teaspoon of butter tablespoons of brown sugar teaspoon of balsamic vinegar cup of dried California mission figs, quartered 1 cup of dried California calimyrna figs, quartered 1 750-milliliter bottle of port wine 1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata olives, sliced Juice of 1 navel orange Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons of fresh oregano leaves, chopped
Directions: Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium. Add the onion and sauté for about one minute. Add the sugar and vinegar, lower the heat and cook, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes. The onions should be very soft, caramelized and jam-like. Stir in figs and wine, heat to a boil and simmer, stirring
frequently with a wooden spoon until the liquid is reduced by one-half and is very syrupy. Stir in the olives and orange juice. Simmer for five minutes. Season to taste with the salt and pepper. Pour the chutney into a storage container. Cool to room temperature. Add the oregano leaves, cover and store in the refrigerator. Serve the chutney with cheese or as a side dish for duck, lamb or chicken. Serves eight. Note from Phyllis: You may substitute any dry red wine for the port in this recipe. A cabernet sauvignon is a good choice. If you do not have sea salt, use kosher salt. SPR Comment at www. southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

A humble, cozy eatery upon first glance, Frankford Hall also proves to deliver the most authentic German cuisine in town. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
crumbs and fried to absolute perfection. I am still dreaming of it, that’s how good it was. It came with a small arugula salad. There are eight sausages on the bill of fare. You are charged $1 if you want it served on a roll. The woman who took our order recommended the Krakauer ($8), which is made with beef and pork. It imparted a marvelous smoky flavor. You get a choice of either red cabbage or sauerkraut. Since my grandmother made her own, I had to try this cabbage. Oh my, it was delicious. It was slightly sweet and had finely grated carrots mixed with the pickled cabbage. Kudos to the German potato salad ($4). It was ice cold, studded with celery and perfectly dressed. I have to call and get the recipe. Alberta and Derick tried the Bratwurst ($6) along with an order of fries ($5). All
of us cleaned our plates. Frankford Hall is not a restaurant I would go to on a regular basis. I am trying to keep my weight down and the potato dishes on the menu should not be a regular part of my diet right now. Still, each dish did not disappoint. Care was taken and the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Three tips of the toque to Frankford Hall. SPR

were pretty. The food is served in flimsy, small red and white paper containers. The sour cream sauce on the cucumber salad leaked through. It was difficult to cut chicken schnitzel on paper using plastic knives and forks. That said, dinner was most tasty. I know little about German beer. I told the bartender I like Victory Summer Love, so he suggested Franziskaner Hefeweizen ($6.50) which was similar in taste to Victory but a little bitter. Edward tried Köstritzer Schwartzbier ($6.50) while our friends enjoyed Hank’s root beer. Potato pancakes ($6) were dreamy latkes made from grated potatoes and fried to a crisp, golden brown. They arrived, piping hot, with applesauce and sour cream. The spatzle ($8) were outstanding. One bite and I was transported to my grandmother’s kitchen where I watched her make the egg dough by hand. We ordered these creamy little pillows of dough with bacon. My grandmother would have had a fit, but we all agreed that the crisp, slightly salted bits of bacon put this dish over the top. Cucumber salad is a favorite. Frankford Hall’s version ($5) is dressed in runny sour cream laced with fragrant dill and includes sweet red onion. It was cool and refreshing but difficult to eat as the sauce dripped all over the place. Chicken schnitzel ($12) was as fine as mine. Actually, I make my version with thinly-pounded pieces of turkey breast. At Frankford Hall, the chicken breast was pounded like a paillard, dipped in seasoned

fter weeks of planning and rescheduling, my neighbors Alberta and Derick, Edward and I were finally going out to dinner. Alberta did her undergraduate work at the University of Virginia and earned her law degree at Howard University. Derick graduated from Penn State with a business degree. One day Derick arrived home from work and announced he was going to become a Baptist minister. His wife did not bat an eye. I recalled Stephen Starr opened another restaurant about two months ago. Aptly named Frankford Hall, it is located in Fishtown and is an American facsimile of a German beer garden. This intrigued me. My grandparents came from Vienna and I grew up on Austrian/Hungarian food. Frankford Hall is Starr’s most casual restaurant to date. It is so casual that you place your order in a window in the outdoor garden, pay for it and a server will bring your food to you. The window is in front of the kitchen and I sympathized with the woman and the cooks who had to bear with the horrendous heat and humidity. We elected to eat indoors in the coolest area of the restaurant which appears to be fashioned from an old warehouse. It has looming high ceilings, the original weathered brick walls and a big heavy fire door at the end of the room. Alberta and I found the long highly-polished wood benches to be most uncomfortable. I kept banging my ankle each time I had to get up. The matching long tables, however,

His journey on earth has ended. What a ride it has been! Now, another journey begins. When he arrives at Heaven’s Gate, he can surely say, “Lord, I used all the gifts that were given to me”. A very kind, gentle, caring and generous man. Always, with a positive attitude. Always, looking for that silver lining behind every cloud. At 84, still as sharp as a tac and full of such wisdom. His cup, always, bubbling over with a zest for life. A WW ll Veteran, who served as a Signalman,for the US Navy. A member of the American Legion. Lifetime member of the VFW Post # 8051. He was co – founder of the Avenuers Fancy NYB and led the brigade as Captain for over a decade. He worked as a longshoreman and carpenter. Contractor as “McMurtrie Construction” and then “Den – Ter Inc”.

Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

A Philadelphia Eagle will conduct a clinic for youngsters at a Queen Village playground. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r
J
oe Richmond watched in awe Tuesday as Jaden Mitchell tossed passes and made grabs at Shot Tower Playground, 131 Carpenter St. If the youngster displays the same skills Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles may want to have him place his signature on a contract. The talented Southwest Philadelphia resident, adept at baseball and basketball through time at Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 740 S. 17th St., tried out football for the first time in preparation for the site’s hosting of The Trevard Lindley Community Outreach Football Clinic. Jaden and other youngsters met Lindley, a second-year cornerback with the Birds, for a quick practice at the Queen Village location. Their impending weekend interaction comes courtesy of the efforts of Love Kingdom Fellowship Church, 1009 S. Third St., and brothers Joe and Mike Richmond, co-founders of I Am Focused, Inc. (IAF) “It’s a blessing to be able to give back to the neighborhood,” Joe Richmond, formerly of Third and Carpenter streets, said. IAF’s director of community outreach relations, he has made his mission the devising of means to boost confidence through basketball. A perennial love, the game has given him personal joy through playing and coaching in Sweden and through running Richmond Group International (RGI), IAF’s predecessor. A graduate of South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., he started RGI to strengthen communities by calling on hoops to construct relationships and empower individuals. His endeavors sent many local men and women to overseas showcase camps and tours and led to the acquisition of the Delaware Destroyers, then a National Rookie League squad and now an Eastern Basketball League member. Mike Richmond, a 6-foot-7 behemoth properly dubbed “Big Mike,” helps as IAF’s director of international basketball relations. Also a Southern alumnus, he used his talent to attend the University of Texas at El Paso and became a selection by the Dallas Mavericks in the 1987 NBA
Draft. An overseas career has garnered him added credibility in heading the nonprofit’s international student athlete exchange program. “We started I Am Focused in 2002 and have had many talks with pastors and politicians about helping as many children as possible,” the resident of 27th and Moore streets said. The siblings found a receptive figure in Love Kingdom Fellowship’s pastor Warren C. McKnight. The sixth-year head always holds a summer camp at which the Richmonds conduct basketball lessons. Joe Richmond offers financial advice to athletes, and his savvy led a colleague to put him in contact with Lindley. Though football presents an athletic departure from basketball, its insistence on determination caused the Delaware resident to befriend the University of Kentucky product. “Pastor McKnight said we could put on whatever if I could get Trevard to participate,” Joe Richmond said. “We are always looking to build a relationship between the church and community,” New Jersey’s McKnight said. IAF concentrates on the tri-state area with at least eight big yearly events and involves itself as a supporter of other gatherings. Joe Richmond reached out to Lindley three weeks ago, and the 105th pick in last year’s NFL Draft agreed to participate in his first clinic. “It’s going to be great to help kids to have a good time,” the Georgia native said. MONDAY’S APPROVAL OF a new collective bargaining agreement by the NFL Players Association’s executive board ended a lockout that began March 12. Lindley yesterday reported to training camp for the Eagles, who last year won 10 games and sent five players to the Pro Bowl, including Asante Samuel, one of his secondary mates and mentors. “I am read to go in, work hard and show the coaches I’m ready to play,” Lindley, who in his rookie season registered 23 tackles and made an interception in 11 games, said. The 5-foot-11 speedster was unsure Tuesday how the end of the labor dispute would affect his participation in Saturday’s
Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Trevard Lindley, right, joined organizers and participants at Shot Tower Playground Tuesday morning in preparation for his Community Outreach Football Clinic. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
event, which Joe Richmond said will have at least 75 children. If he cannot attend, the youngsters will watch an encouraging video with his narration before tending to drills. The boys and girls, ages 7 to 14, will work at 11 stations where they will learn the nuances of different positions. “The age range is ideal because we figure we will attract young kids with some interest in football and advance the knowledge of the game for those who are curious so as to push them into the sport,” Joe Richmond said. Registration remains open, with parties encouraged to visit www.iamfocused.org or call 215-468-4095. The age limits will keep 16-year-old Chris McKnight from competing, but he used the session to try to have his limbs outdo Lindley’s. He caught a couple passes before Lindley, who garnered numerous collegiate honors, including a First-Team All-Southeastern Conference selection in ’08, snared the last heave from the elder McKnight, his father. A fan of the Dallas Cowboys, the pastor took ribbing from Joe Richmond for letting Lindley intercept him. “That’s Troy Aikman for you,” the younger of the entrepreneurial brothers said in reference to the Hall of Fame quarterback. Jaden, his 11-year-old sister Amirah Mitchell and 12-year-old Latayana McKnight, the spiritual head’s daughter, fared
better, catching accurate passes. The girls used customary routes, but Jaden used slants to show his athleticism. “I like running and catching,” the tyke said of his decision to try out football. He plays against eight-year-olds at Marian Anderson, so looking to beat the 25-yearold Eagle had no novelty. His sister also enjoyed her initial football experience. “It was fun,” Amirah, a soccer buff, said. “We want everyone to have fun,” Joe Richmond said. One could call him an expert in frivolity, as he serves as a referee for the Harlem Globetrotters. He has a serious side, too, so the event will be his latest move to combat violence and enhance fellowship. On Aug. 8, IAF will oversee a tryout for the Globetrotters at Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., and on Aug. 27, it will host a 3-On-3 basketball tournament at Sacks Playground, 400 Washington Ave. This weekend’s free gathering from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. will help to solidify the future of South Philadelphia’s children. “We have so much concern for them,” he said of himself and his brother. “We are passionate about helping their neighborhoods.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.
