Year of the Family Could be a Year to Remember
By Mike Mallowe
There’s no way of knowing
if Philadelphia will get to enjoy a
World Series or championship of
any kind in the next couple years,
but the city and region might just
be in for the next best thing – at
least in terms of an instant injection
of money, visitors and publicity.
Philadelphia is scheduled to
be the site of the 8th World Meeting of Families from September
22 through 27 in 2015. This is a
once-every- three years event
that the Catholic Church stages
in venues like Rome, Rio, Manila
and Mexico City.
Since almost 30 percent of
Pennsylvania’s state population
identifies as “Roman Catholic”
and since most of them live within the five-county Archdiocese of
Philadelphia, we’re a natural as
a staging area.
That deal has been cut for
a few years. But the big draw –
and right now he’s easily the biggest draw in the world – would be
Pope Francis I coming to town.
Just to add to the speculation, the Pope is a Jesuit priest
and Philadelphia happens to
have a large and well-know Jesuit University on its western
border, in Wynnefield, Saint Joseph’s University.
Insiders are discreetly acting like that deal looks very good,
too, as long as His Holiness remains healthy and disposed to
travel. It would be customary for
the Pope to attend an international meeting like this because
so much of the Vatican’s focus is
on families and family issues.
It gets even better: Cur-
rently, the Vatican is preparing to
review its official position on all
sorts of marriage- and family-related issues, including same-sex
civil unions, the status within the
church of divorced and re-married Catholics, and possibly even
a third-rail blockbuster like contraception.
Once-in-a-century
announcements could be made at
this meeting, or just before.
Either way, the prospect of
the Pope sharing his thoughts
on families and the Church – in
Philadelphia – would be the focus of frenzied, 24/7 global media coverage.
Super Bowl and Then Some
The last time there was a
World Meeting of Families, was
in Italy, where seeing the Pope
is not exactly like seeing him on
the Parkway.
And it was during a time
when an ailing, relatively unpopular pontiff resided in the Vatican. He still drew about a million
people to the Mass that closed
the event.
But, this is North America
and Pope Francis has an approval rating that just keeps going and going up.
This is why Archbishop
Charles Chaput, Governor Tom
Corbett (a Catholic) and Mayor
Michael Nutter (a product of Jesuit education) are traveling to
Rome this month to meet with
American and Vatican officials
and, they hope, with Pope Francis, to make sure the Pope’s visit happens, as part of the World
Meeting of Families.
Nutter was even witty about
could easily match, or beat, any
Super Bowl.
A Rare Marketing
Opportunity
Mike Mallowe
the trip, remarking that while
people in Philadelphia are used
to strong-arming people to make
sure a deal is cut, they can’t expect the same tactics to be used
at Saint Peter’s. (Although, I bet
plenty of cardinals and bishops
might argue with that.)
Corbett says the event – with
the Pope – would be worth $100
million to the local economy. For
once, busloads of critics aren’t
jumping up to contradict him.
When a Super Bowl comes
to a city, the NFL likes to claim
that about $550 million will result. Savvy event economists
shriek when they hear that. Or,
as one of them put it, “The NFL
is great when it comes to adding
things up, but they don’t do quite
as well with the subtraction.”
The real numbers for a Super Bowl are somewhere between $50 million and $100 million coming into the host city.
That’s not bad, but the expenses of staging a Super Bowl
can be staggering.
In this case, Governor Bottom Line Tom is probably right
on target. The meeting, plus
the Pope, spread over six days,

If you are in the communication business, from marketing
to advertising to public relations
to content, take advantage of an
opportunity that might not happen again for decades.
• Catholic consumers have
proven themselves to be a gamechanger in buying decisions and
in voting choices. Don’t ignore
them as a market segment.
• People who identify with
any kind of organized religion
should be intensely interested in
this meeting. Cater to them.
• The branding here has to
be two-pronged: identify with
families and identify with the
unique quality of the event. The
more respect you show, the
more impact you will generate.
• The back-story of an event
like the World Meeting of Families is always about public relations. Dogma and doctrine won’t
be changing here, but the inhouse rules affecting the Catholic faithful might very well be. If
you want to get everyone’s attention, ask the Pontiff to bring
the house to order.
• Celebrate the significance
of the moment and begin a lowkey social media campaign that
builds and builds, at least one
year in advance.
• Your D-Day should be September, 2014. Designate part of
your team to create your special
event as a way of linking with the
World Meeting of Families.
• If you take the easy way
out and pretend that this will be
business-as-usual, your fail will
be, as they say, epic.
• “Family Friendly” might
seem like a shop-worn cliché by
now, but very few businesses ever take advantage of what it can
do for them.
When you attend an event
like the recent Philadelphia Flower Show, and toss in a visit to the
Advertising
Reading Terminal, or some similar major tourist attraction, Philadelphia can seem like the center
of the universe.
Just imagine the kind of
spotlight that will be beaming
on us if Pope Francis decides to
come to town.

DINING OUT
A Classic
Caffe Aldo Lamberti
Cherry Hill, N.J., Rte. 70
Route 70 in Cherry Hill may
be one of the busiest roads in
South Jersey, but once inside
Caffe Aldo Lamberti, you’ll feel
miles away from the hectic pace
of the highway. A regional landmark for over 25 years, Caffe Aldo
Lamberti provides an Italian dining
experience that is both classic and
contemporary, with an impressive
menu of authentic regional cuisine, an ambience of sophistication and first-class service.
My dining companions included “Food Talk” radio host Audra Neff (WWDB-860AM every
Monday at 10 A.M. and Wednesday at 2 P.M.) and two others with
discerning palates. The Caffe
staff, from the manager to the
server to Aldo Lamberti himself,
were gracious and welcoming, in
the warm spirit of Italian hospitality. Our server Joel, who trained
at culinary school and hopes to
open his own restaurant someday, was knowledgeable and
helpful in our menu decisions.
The restaurant specializes
in fresh fish, seafood and quality
meats as well as an ample selection of pasta dishes and daily
specials.
At Joel’s suggestion, we
tried the starter special of Heir-
loom Tomato Salad ($14) with
fresh red and green tomatoes
topped with burrata cheese – a
delicious twist on Caprese salad.
The Roasted Beet, Green Bean &
Goat Cheese Salad was light and
flavorful, with candied nuts and
a light, lemony olive oil dressing
($9). An appetizer of fried Calamari Dorati ($11) with marinara was lightly breaded and seasoned just enough to enhance
but not overwhelm the flavor.
The entrees at Caffe Aldo
Lamberti range from traditional
to inventive to gourmet.
At our lunch, Audra ordered
a Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Exotic Mushrooms and White Truffle Essence ($14) – the combination of which created both a
sweet and rich flavor. The gnocchi at Caffe is made daily, by
hand, so it’s fresh with a soft,
perfect texture.
Our other entrees included:
a Zucchini Crabcake with Jumbo Lump Crabmeat, a signature
dish ($18), which was tender with
a crispy light breading and flavorful crabmeat; Blackened Salmon
over Parisian Salad ($15) – an
ample portion of salmon, lightly seasoned and blackened (not
Cajun-style) over fresh greens;
CASTING
The Right Talent
At The Right Price
and the Dover Sole special ($39),
a whole fresh fish, which the
server filleted tableside.
We finished our meal by
sharing three delicious desserts:
a creamy vanilla crème brûlée
with a top layer burned to perfection; a hefty portion of tiramisu
with rich espresso and cocoa
flavors; and a traditional Italian
yellow cake with chocolate chips
(all $6.50 each).
Our group all agreed that
the entire meal was delicious
and artistically presented.
The experience is best
summed up by one diner declaring: “We’ll be back!”
With four people, we had
lunch at a leisurely pace, but the
restaurant efficiently accommodates diners who might be on a
tight schedule (just let your server know).
Caffe Aldo Lamberti has a
main dining room plus three private dining rooms that accommodate 16 to 100-plus people,
making it a well-appointed and
desirable choice for events ranging from business meetings to
family celebrations and other
special occasions. In total, the
restaurant has seven private party spaces, including three beautifully-decorated wine cellars.
The Caffe also has outdoor
seating for warmer seasons, a
raw bar and both complimentary valet parking and self-parking.
They accept reservations as well
as cash and all major credit cards.
Caffe Aldo Lamberti is one
of the Lamberti family of restaurants, which also includes Tutti
Toscani, Forno Pizzeria & Grille
and Luna Rossa Biagio Lamberti in New Jersey and Positano
Coast and Lamberti’s Cucina in
Pennsylvania.

DINING OUT
Ocean Prime Really is Prime
by Bonnie Squires
Ocean Prime at 124 South
15th Street (215-563-0163) is
one of 10 Ocean Prime restaurants, with locations having its
own unique character. Marc Oppen, the general
manager here, has spent 22
years in the restaurant business,
and he is justifiably proud of the
new fish, steaks and cocktails
establishment which took over
the space of the former Roy’s.
The location had been vacant for over two years, and is
now a sophisticated, attractive
venue, with a striking coral display, punctuated with sparkling
crystals, as you walk in.
If you had dined there before Ocean Prime opened, you
won’t even recognize the site.
According to Oppen, his
company gutted the restaurant,
moved things around, and selected a color palette which they
felt was more appropriate for
center city Philadelphia. They had a great holiday
season, with local companies and
private parties taking the private
room which seats 29, and the
mezzanine which has 50 seats. Ocean Prime is only open to
the public for dinner, but they will
do lunch for large private parties.
To impress a business associate or a “significant other,”
Ocean Prime is the place to go
for a leisurely and impressive
meal. There are booths as well
as tables, spread out on several
levels, which makes for intimate
conversations.
Their fresh-out-of-the-oven
sourdough bread was wonderful. My husband ordered the
white truffle caviar deviled egg appetizer ($11), which was served
on an unusual multi- sectioned
white china platter. My group of
four dug in and were delighted.
The two Ocean Prime
House Salads, with Romaine,
spinach, granny smith apples,
goat cheese, walnuts and sherry mustard vinaigrette ($10),
were large enough that all of us
shared the tasty dishes.
The men in our party went
for the steamed lobster ($47) and
the 8-ounce petite filet mignon
($37). The filet was so tender
they didn’t need a knife to cut it.
The women chose the
16-ounce ribeye steak ($45)
and the Chilean sea bass with
whipped potatoes and champagne truffle sauce ($43).
The menu offers eight different varieties of potato side dishes,
but we settled on candied yams
with marshmallow brulee ($8). There are also eight Supper Club Sides, from corn to asparagus. We ordered the glazed
carrots with brown sugar butter
($8), the steamed broccoli ($9),
the sauteed button mushrooms
with caramelized onions ($11)
and the creamed spinach ($10). We discovered that any two
of the “sides” or potato dishes
could have served all four of us.
Our waiter, Lorne, was very
attentive and brought us another
basket of the sourdough bread,
as well as carrying appletinis,
pinot grigio, and a bubbly blackberry and champagne concoction called Berries & Bubbles,
which fascinated us, as it bubbled for about ten minutes.
Because we were intent
on leaving room for the fabulous desserts, (all are made
in-house), we requested doggy
bags for all of us for the leftover
main dishes and “sides.”
The house specialty is the
chocolate peanut butter pie ($9)
which we left not a drop on the
plate. The same fate met the
baked Alaska, a delicious confection with chocolate and vanilla ice cream underneath the
meringue, as well as the white
chocolate key lime pie ($9).
We just didn’t have room
to try the ten-layer carrot cake
($10) and the chocolate cake
with hand spun ice cream ($10). We are saving those for our
next visit.

Musing
The recent bitter cold, ice and snow during “The Winter
That Seemed Never to End”, had me at home on normal
office days.
I had time to think about things other than news
releases, marketing approaches for clients, lining up of
guests for our four radio shows, coordinating coming
business events, and teaching new personnel.
I decided to list what I enjoy — and what I can do
without.
Then I decided to share those thoughts, as we are all
basically alike, having problems, desires, opinions.
So here goes:
What I like:
… I like my two key office administrators, Kathy Newmiller,
with me for 32 years, and Elena Cruz, here nine years.
… I enjoy my associates. The seniors, like Bonnie
Squires. The younger like Britney O’Rourke.
... I enjoy my clients, who like Steve Strassler founder
of Reviva Labs, a customer for over 35 years, is also a
friend.
… And I like my large, by now antique desk, inherited
from my father-in-law, Laigh Cohan. I have been behind It
for about 50 years.
… I like sunsets. Always different, & beautiful.
Paintings in the sky.
… I like trees. No two are completely alike. They are
individual in some way.
… Honest auto repair shops. I have one. Sids Auto
Repair, Bala Cynwyd (610-664-5173).
… Newspaper old timers. Those who used typewriters, worked in non-air conditioned newsrooms, wore their
hats indoors, smoked, drank and were proud of their jobs.

4:45pm to 7pm
by Joe Ball
… I remember
fondly my mentors.
Joe Ball
Laigh Cohan, my
father-in-law,
my
Uncle Bud Harris & Inquirer columnist, Frank Brookhouser.
They taught me lessons of life, that I regularly pass on to
others.
… Pretty girls.( I married one)
… Dogs, but only those of a given size. Forget the
wind-up, lap breeds
… Licorice candy. Hershey chocolate bars with nuts
… Cinnamon buns, covered with nuts (not raisins)
… Campbell’s Tomato Soup, but only with my wife’s
homemade dumplings.
… Wendy’s free Senior Citizen coffee.
… Hymies Deli, for the social element. (always know
someone, even dating back to kindergarten, and Boy
Scout Troop 195.
… My bed blanket covering my shoulders
… Arriving home after a full day, taking a one-hour
pre-dinner nap
… Watching the TV pre-opening stock market report
at 7 AM
… Judge Judy
… Fareed Zalkaris world views on CNN
… Going to bed early 9:30 PM, getting up early (5:30 AM)
… Sweets (but they don’t like me)
… Watching people.
… Saturday mornings, alone in the office
… My den couch
… The last 30 minutes of TV movies
What I don’t like:
… Cheapness / penny-pinchers … complainers
… Several no-good-nicks, who in my early business
years, seriously hurt me. (They’re mostly dead now).
… Attorneys who have no ethics, integrity or character.
(Law schools should add those courses)
… Exercises ( I do them to stay alive.)
… Throwing away old clothes & shoes
… Shopping
Just Bear It
And last, some things I occasionally, think — and
wonder — about, but can’t personally change:
… Use of the word “inappropriate”, when it’s
inappropriate to use the word.
... When did so many become so sensitive —
and aggressive — on comments that may have been
intended as humorous, or spoken as a natural part of
a conversation? Could it be an opportunity to bring a
lawsuit? Money! Money!
… The brain trust at the Philadelphia Phillies. Do they
really think there is an escape from the ages of this seasons
players? Injuries are virtually guaranteed. I won’t even go
into diminished coordination — and just being tired.
… The waste of time sending “does it really matter”
tweets, emails, texts. The best communications are faceto-face.
… Dressing down. Proper attire is a sign of respect.
For others. For one’s self.
… The guile of politicians whose promises turn out empty.
… Promoters of Global Warming. Tell them about the
weather of Jan/Feb 2014. We could have used Global
Warming!
And Finally — For Now

I just noticed in reading all of the above, my likes far,
far outnumber my dislikes.
I’m a lucky guy.
I have a wonderful wife.
I have a wonderful family.
I’ve always enjoyed my occupation.
I’m vertical & mobile.
My mind is open to new ideas and ventures.
And I have always, and continue to look forward to
each new day.
I’m a happy guy.
Incidentally, I’m not old. I’ve been young a L-O-N-G time.
And to those who have patiently waded through this,
thank you.
Responses welcome. I prefer nice ones …
