his column is being written with my right hand. No big deal to you, but a big deal to me — I’m lefthanded. But since we last met in this column, I broke a bone in my left hand. For the first time Tom Cardella in the 52 years of writing this column, my left hand has the week off. And it says, it’s about time. It is pushing for more weeks off and is likely to get them. The left hand has always gotten a bad rap. Back in the day, my teacher would remove my pen or pencil from my left hand and try to force me to write with my right hand. For some strange reason, teachers were fixated on the idea that writing left-handed was unacceptable. Their attempts to force me to write with my right hand were about as successful as an Air Force instructor’s attempt in later years to teach me to swim. You’ll find me in the three-foot end of the pool. Perhaps it was the Romans who are responsible for the belief that there is something wrong with left-handed people. The Latin word for left hand is “sinister.� I can’t blame the Romans. Maybe

he extremely popular Flavors on the Avenue is getting a huge makeover this weekend. Instead of having all of the food vendors under the giant tent like in the past, event organizers have decided it’s time to take a fresh approach — move the five-block-long street festival onto the streets.

“The neighborhood has gotten so big, also so loving of Flavors, it was just time [to expand the festival],� Pam Zenzola, the executive director of the Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District since October, said. “There’s going to be some transition, but I think this is going to be the best year of Flavors yet.� The event is taking place Sunday, April 30 from noon to 5 p.m. with 27 restaurants participating. There will be something for

everyone to taste. Brigantessa, 1520 E. Passyunk Ave., will offer a spanish-inspired chorizo sausage from southern Italy. Co-owner Francis Cretarola explained his paternal ancestors were from Abruzzo, and he hopes to highlight this delicious and quick-to-make cuisine. If in the mood for more Italian food, Stoagie Joe’s Tavern, 1821 E. Passyunk Ave., should be another “must� on the list of event ASS 4:/D=@A ^OUS ',,

THE KEYS TO HIS CAREER JILL HAS TOURED WITH A LOCAL ARTIST, WHO THIS IS PERFORMING IN SCOTT AND ADELE, L. CITY JAZZ FESTIVA WEEKEND’S CENTER

FINALLY, IT TOOK a family friend, who was also an organist, seeing Wortham play to convince his parents to put the young musician in piano lessons. Wortham remembers the friend telling his father, Pastor Eric Wortham, “This young man has a gift, you need to put him in school.� At his advice, Wortham, who was now 8, began taking lessons at Gibson School of Music and Arts where he learned many of the basics, such as modes, sighting reading and how to read note values. However, he was eventually taken out of the school when his parents could no longer afford to continue sending him there. “I had just enough working knowledge to where I was able to go to the Free Library of Philadelphia and pick up books and self-educate myself,� Wortham, who was attending Hill Freedman World Academy at the time, said. “I would find sheet music I could barely understand, having to cut school

rowing up in Southwest Philly with a pastor for a father, Eric Wortham II spent his childhood fulfilling the role of “church kid.� This exposure to a church setting at such a young age helped shape his passion for keyboard instruments, and on April 29 he will be returning home to Philly to showcase his talents and assume the role of a featured artist at the Center City Jazz Festival. Despite being asked to perform due to his present-day piano mastery, the resident of Broad and Dickinson streets recalls a time in his childhood when his only wish was to accompany his two older sisters, Ebony and Erica, to the piano lessons they were given in-home by a neighborhood teacher. “You could tell my sisters didn’t like [the lessons], but I loved them. I loved listening to the different notes and watching the teacher’s fingers move,� Wortham said. In the summer of 1989, not long after the second of his sisters voiced that she no longer wished to participate in the lessons, Wortham found himself in attendance at a Bethel Temple Churches youth convention in Baltimore. Despite being just 6 years old, he remembers standing on the edge of a choir loft that was overlooking the organ and watching organist Vincent Sneed move his fingers over the keys. “It just looked like magic, and I’ll never forget thinking to myself, ‘Wow, look at how through his mastery of this instrument he’s able to affect everyone’s emotions,’� Wortham said. Leaving the convention, Wortham rushed home and immediately took to his sisters’ keyboard and, without any instruction, began practicing on it. Wortham realized he had a natural ear for the music and was able to play roughly 15 percent of what he heard Sneed play. Demonstrating a rapid musical progression, Wortham begged his parents to enroll him in piano lessons. However, they were hesitant because of their denomination, frowning upon secular music and wanting him to play strictly gospel music. “So, rather than sitting with my parents in church I began sitting next to the organ, paying very close attention to the songs, chords and things of that nature,� he said. “I would go home and stay up all night trying to remember the configurations, writing them down. After six months from starting this, I had working knowledge on how to get through any song they would play in church.�

Walk with Dodger

ute, little Dodger is about 2 years old, and would love a calm, quiet home. Being a little timid, it takes him a while to warm up to people. Once he gets to know you, he is happy to just be near and OK with being petted. He doesn’t have to be sitting in your lap all the time. Dodger, described as a great leash walker, would be a good choice for someone who likes to walk for exercise. He does well with other calm dogs. To adopt Dodger, visit treetopsrescue.org.

milk and sugar, the drinks can be served iced or hot. Bing Bing Dim Sum, 1648 E. Passyunk Ave., has settled on its Thai sunrise, made from tequila, lime juice, grapefruit juice and tamarind. It will also serve sweet corn rangoons and a barbecue pretzel bao. Making this dish unique from a standard bao, a steamed bread roll with a filling of meat or vegetables, it will be flash fried, brushed with alkaline and sprinkled with pretzel salt. As for dessert — having just opened its doors on April 14 — Capogiro, 1625 E. Passyunk Ave., is another shop excited to let the community taste its products. General manager Falon Maokhamphiou said the favorites at his fine artisanal gelato and sorbetto shop thus far are the pistacchio, Italian chocolate chip and hazelnut flavors. “Where else can you go and have so many ‘three bell’ restaurants, esteemed restaurants and even the best of the casual eateries and the bars all in one festival? [At this event] they will all be outside and in the street in front of their spots,â€? Aversa, who noted that East Passyunk Avenue was one of his first clients, said. The street festival will also feature three areas of live music at the 1600, 1800 and 1900 blocks of East Passyunk Avenue, craft vendors and a variety of family-friendly activities including four kids zones.

FOR THOSE WONDERING about cost, there are two options. Attendees can purchase a Flavors Taste book for $50, and it will include one free bite from each restaurant, two glasses of beer or wine and valet parking. Others may prefer the pay-as-yougo option, with every restaurant having dishes for purchase between $3 and $6. Kory Aversa, the CEO and president of Aversa PR and Events, is no stranger to the Flavors scene. He said as the avenue changed and evolved over the years, more restaurants and retail stores have opened, and the opportunities for family activities have increased. As a result, both local businesses and community members requested a bigger spring festival, and thus this year the event plans to welcome thousands of people — not just the number who could

Playing host: 17 years of high-profile events that made Philly look good

2000

The spotlight on Philadelphia has gotten even bigger since the turn of a new century. It’s in large part to not just the major moments but monster events that have brought their caravans to the City of Brotherly Love. In addition to this week’s three-day NFL Draft extravaganza, we take a look at a few other major events that put Philly on the map and solidified her big city status to the world.

The nomination of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence at last year’s RNC in Cleveland was an earth-rattling event in American politics. But every presidential nomination has its own historical weight, and Philly provided the stage for former President George W. Bush’s nomination in 2000. The event left some bruises on the city’s psyche — messy protests, strongman showing by Philadelphia police, the displacement of the homeless and street vendors in Center City — but in the end, Philly still looked good in the country’s eyes.

2005

FIFA Women’s World Cup China was slated to be the original host. But after an abrupt SARs outbreak in the country — and with some advocating from women’s soccer boosters in the U.S. — Philly came to save the day as a last-minute host. More than 650,000 attendees flocked to the city. Germany won. The U.S. came in third. Memories were made.

2011

Live 8

2003

2004

Eagles win NFC Championship It feels like an eternity ago since the adrenaline-fueled days of Terrell Owens, Donovan McNabb, Brian Dawkins, David Akers, and the rest of the Birds’ 2004 lineup. The last three home games of the season whipped the city into a frenzy, which climaxed with the Eagles’ NFC-securing victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Ultimately, they lost the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots in Florida. But Philly and its passion for sports lived up to their hype, and for a brief moment, the sports world forgot about that time we threw snowballs at Santa Claus.

Twenty years after the city played host to the Live Aid concert to raise money for the Ethiopian famine, Philly once again came in the spotlight to host a massive crowd for Live 8. Unofficial estimates ranged from 500,000 to 1.5 million attendees around the Benjamin Franklin Parkway over the course of the 8-hour event. It was an early harbinger of a major festival that has since come to call Philly home.

2012

2014

Made in America Festival

NHL Draft

There’s probably a few reasons why the blockbuster event came to Philly in 2012 and returned in the years since. One, apparently Jay-Z loves Philly. Two, the world class Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Three, crowds over 80,000 — easy. It’s a list that keeps on writing itself as the years go on, and we’re looking forward to the fifth annual Budweiserbacked concert in September.

The closest precursor to this week’s NFL Draft, thousands flocked to the Wells Fargo Center to get a first look at the cream of the hockey season’s crop. The 2014 draft showed the sports world elite was a firm reminder that Philly can conduct equal parts business and party. Already, the NFL Draft has created a more resounding buzz. Plus, it’s on the Parkway.

Republican National Convention

Occupy Philadelphia

2008

Phillies win World Series Twenty years from now, the next generation of Philadelphians will be regaled by stories of the jubilant chaos that swept the city after the Phillies became, to quote former Phillies second baseman Chase Utley, “world .... champions.” Granted, flipping cars over during the Broad Street celebration was maybe not the best look. But did Philly not look good to the world? We were beautiful, folks. We were champions.

By no means unique to Philly, we were close enough to the original Occupy event on Wall Street in New York City. Philly’s Occupy protests drew sizable crowds, garnered national news headlines, and showed the world that we’re a city that takes economic inequality seriously — even if, in the end, our own mayor shut the whole show down and police arrested more than 50 peaceful demonstrators.

2016

2015

Pope in Philly An expanded version of this list would have to include the visit of Pope John Paul II in October 1979. But in recent memory, few events have shed a better light on the City of Brotherly Love than Pope Francis’ memorable stay during the World Meeting of Families in 2015. Security was no joke, but for two days the streets swelled with hymns, prayers, and faces from all over the world.

Democratic National Convention Despite prior experience hosting the RNC in Philadelphia, we didn’t really have any idea what to expect from the Bernie Sanders bros and the Clinton loyalists locking horns last summer. But despite road-blocking protests, police made few arrests and the convention went off without a hitch. Of course, none of that matters now that America Has Been Made Great ™ again.

2017

NFL Draft This week the city expects to draw a crowd of 200,000 and generate an $80 million economic impact on the city, according to the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau. Let’s keep up our winning streak as a host, Philly.

D;MI CARDELLA continued from page 1 Brutus was a lefty? I point with pride to Barack Obama and Sandy Koufax, both lefthanders. Donald Trump and Clay Buchholz are right-handed. I rest my case. How did I break a bone in my left hand? I’m glad you asked. I tripped on the stairs in my house and grabbed onto the wrought iron railing. I broke my incipient fall. Unfortunately, I also broke my hand. I wish I had suffered the injury in a more dramatic fashion. Maybe winning a duel to save the life of The Mother of Dragons. I promise this will be my only reference to “Game of Thrones.” Can’t blame me for trying to curry favor with my youthful readers. Let’s be honest. When I told the nurse how I got injured, you could read her thoughts - the old man belongs in a nursing home. To avoid the emergency room of the local hospital, I got treatment at an urgent care center. Later that night, the fingers that were peeking out of my splint began to swell and turn a nice indigo blue. That’s how I wound up in the local ER anyway. Can we talk? Using the word “emergency” to describe the ER is just a bit misleading. I waited over two hours before anyone asked for my medical insurance. When Republicans tell you that people without medical insurance can always be treated at an ER, ask them when was the last time they were in an ER? The medical people who work in an ER are overworked and underappreciated. You don’t want to add to their burden by having them do routine medical care. My editor believes that when I run out of ideas for a column, I opt for surgery. It is true that in the past decade, I have written so many columns about my medical procedures that my future columns may be published by the New England Journal of Medicine. My long-suffering wife has concluded that when she married me, I should have come with a warranty. When people get stuck purchasing an automobile that

N southphillyreview.com

breaks down, they call the car a “lemon.” My wife, Fran, has been calling me “lemon” recently. I thought it was because my basketball prowess reminded her of the late “Meadowlark” Lemon of the Harlem Globetrotters. But I’m beginning to think It has something to do with my less than perfect health. Especially since I heard her the other night tell her girlfriend Dolores that she should have had me inspected by Ralph Nader before she agreed to marry me. I can’t say that I blame her. She did donate me a kidney. And when my hand surgeon recommended that I have surgery tomorrow to fix my deformed knuckle, I thought maybe she could donate me one of her knuckles and save me the operation. She was less than receptive to the idea. We have a trip planned in May. I think Fran was just kidding when she also remarked to Dolores that I intentionally injured my hand so that I don’t have to carry our luggage. I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that most of my friends and family members agree with her. I am not normally a sensitive fellow, but that comment smarts a bit. However, I do think that if we decide to go ahead with our trip, not having to carry our luggage is a definite plus. In baseball, a certain type of arm surgery is named after a former major league pitcher, Tommy John. I have often wondered what was that surgery called when John had it done? Is it unreasonable to expect that my hand surgery tomorrow will henceforth be called “Tom Cardella” surgery? Fran says maybe I agreed to surgery as a vanity project. I’m thinking that perhaps the operation will improve my curveball. As a pitcher in schoolyard stickball circa 1953, my slow curve was responsible for some of the longest home runs ever hit anywhere. They used to issue warnings to keep the neighborhood kids indoors when I pitched. If the surgery improves the break on the old curve, maybe I will make a comeback. Wonder how Fran would feel about becoming a baseball wife? A>@

rowing up in Southwest Philly with a pastor for a father, Eric Wortham II spent his childhood fulfilling the role of “church kid.� This exposure to a church setting at such a young age helped shape his passion for keyboard instruments, and on April 29 he will be returning home to Philly to showcase his talents and assume the role of a featured artist at the Center City Jazz Festival. Despite being asked to perform due to his present-day piano mastery, the resident of Broad and Dickinson streets recalls a time in his childhood when his only wish was to accompany his two older sisters, Ebony and Erica, to the piano lessons they were given in-home by a neighborhood teacher. “You could tell my sisters didn’t like [the lessons], but I loved them. I loved listening to the different notes and watching the teacher’s fingers move,� Wortham said. In the summer of 1989, not long after the second of his sisters voiced that she no longer wished to participate in the lessons, Wortham found himself in attendance at a Bethel Temple Churches youth convention in Baltimore. Despite being just 6 years old, he remembers standing on the edge of a choir loft that was overlooking the organ and watching organist Vincent Sneed move his fingers over the keys. “It just looked like magic, and I’ll never forget thinking to myself, ‘Wow, look at how through his mastery of this instrument he’s able to affect everyone’s emotions,’� Wortham said. Leaving the convention, Wortham rushed home and immediately took to his sisters’ keyboard and, without any instruction, began practicing on it. Wortham realized he had a natural ear for the music and was able to play roughly 15 percent of what he heard Sneed play. Demonstrating a rapid musical progression, Wortham begged his parents to enroll him in piano lessons. However, they were hesitant because of their denomination, frowning upon secular music and wanting him to play strictly gospel music. “So, rather than sitting with my parents in church I began sitting next to the organ, paying very close attention to the songs, chords and things of that nature,� he said. “I would go home and stay up all night trying to remember the configurations, writing them down. After six months from starting this, I had working knowledge on how to get through any song they would play in church.� FINALLY, IT TOOK a family friend, who was also an organist, seeing Wortham play to convince his parents to put the young musician in piano lessons. Wortham remembers the friend telling his father, Pastor Eric Wortham, “This young man has a gift, you need to put him in school.� At his advice, Wortham, who was now 8, began taking lessons at Gibson School of Music and Arts where he learned many of the basics, such as modes, sighting reading and how to read note values. However, he was eventually taken out of the school when his parents could no longer afford to continue sending him there. “I had just enough working knowledge to where I was able to go to the Free Library of Philadelphia and pick up books and self-educate myself,� Wortham, who was attending Hill Freedman World Academy at the time, said. “I would find sheet music I could barely understand, having to cut school

B?<;IJOB;I and go to the library to be able to make it home at the hour at which I was expected.� Then, at the end of eighth grade, Wortham heard of the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., and its rigorous music curriculum that rivals many universities. Although his parents stressed he attend high school at either Mathematics Civics & Sciences Charter School or George Washington Carver High School of Engineering and Science to become an engineer, Wortham secretly applied to the CAPA music program and was asked to come in for an audition. He was granted early acceptance and, without telling his parents, wrote back and accepted the offer. After “massaging� the idea of attending CAPA into his mother’s head, his family agreed, and upon entering the school, the young musician saw his education in music transform dramatically. “I met some peers, as well as some teachers, who changed the way I approach music, life and being a professional,� he said. “The biggest contributor from that was my high school music teacher, Kevin Rodgers.

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

That man changed it all.� Wortham explained Rodgers was able to take him from music theory I to the most advanced theory, and showed him how all of the modes, transcriptions, scales, chords, inversions, etc. made sense in the world of music. Wortham improved so much during his four years at CAPA that the school created a variety of AP music classes for him and approximately six of his peers. Upon graduation, Wortham knew the instruction he received had changed his life and there was a lot of buzz around what direction Wortham would pursue. Wortham chose to sign an independent record deal with a label based in New Jersey that is no longer in existence. “From there, I went on tour with myself, played music how I wanted to play and getting the attention of a lot of artists in the tri-state area,� Wortham said. “After my tour, musical director Adam Blackstone reached out and said he knew of an artist who needed a piano player who could sight read really well and who played with a lot of feeling to practice with for an upcoming audition for the Broadway musical, ‘The

Color Purple,’ so I agreed.� Driving to the artist’s house in New Jersey, Wortham noticed the homes becoming increasingly extravagant and wondered who this performer could possibly be. To his surprise, he ended up at the door of R&B songstress Jill Scott. Wortham remembers feeling as though he and Scott began a dance they had performed many times before. This immediate connection led to Scott’s request that Worthan accompany her on tour from 2005 until 2015. He was also given the opportunity to record four songs with her and to perform a duet with her at numerous awards shows. After the tour, Wortham found himself performing a small gig when he received an email from the manager of Scott’s percussion player. The manager asked if Wortham would be interested in an 18-month tour with another artist. Being asked to perform the Adele songs “Someone Like You� and “One and Only� for his Skype audition, Wortham had an idea of which artist the audition may have been for, but it was not until Adele’s face graced the computer screen that he was sure. Af-

ter the seven-minute audition, Wortham couldn’t sleep and remembers getting the email officially asking him to join the Adele band at 4 a.m. the next morning. “I’m a black kid from Philadelphia, I didn’t grow up thinking I would become the piano player for the biggest artist in the world,� Wortham said. While his tour with Adele is still ongoing, Wortham is on a short break and has begun to think of his future aside from being an accompanist. In the years to come, he hopes to concentrate as a solo artist and pianist, and he will be performing in this fashion at the Center City Jazz Festival (6:15 p.m.-7:15 p.m. April 29) at Time Restaurant, 1315 Sansom St. “Playing Adele’s iconic, epic and timeless songs and being entrusted by the artist who wrote them is the greatest honor,� Wortham said. “But for now, I’m just really excited to be back in my hometown. There’s no nerves, I just can’t wait to get up there and play.� A>@ For more information, visit ccjazzfest. com.

The three day NFL Draft is just one of many events Larry Needle has helped land in Philly

The architect

Dual passion for sports, Philly fuels PHL Sports executive Larry Needle BY KERITH GABRIEL

A

s hotel rooms fill, restaurants run out of reservations and the Parkway becomes the epicenter of the sporting universe this week, Larry Needle will undoubtedly be at his Center City desk, sporting a massive grin, ear-to-ear. The architect of bringing the NFL Draft to Philadelphia, the league’s marquee event – second only to the Super Bowl – joins an extensive list of events Needle has aided in bringing to Philadelphia as executive director of PHL Sports. PHL Sports, formerly known as the Philadelphia Sports Congress, is the sports arm of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, led by its fearless leader in Needle for more than 20 years. “I still get a kick out of this,” said Needle during a phone interview with Philadelphia Weekly. “Philadelphia is a phenomenal city, with a great pulse and a passion for sports like no other. That’s not my bias here, it’s just a fact. The best part about all of this is that we get a chance to show the world with events like NFL Draft that this is the place to come to showcase your event.” In securing that the 2017 edition of the

NFL Draft was coming to Philadelphia, Needle noted that it wasn’t as much in the way of wining and dining the league as it was showing a few spots that would work best. After looking at potential venues in

Center City and South Philly, the Parkway simply became the logical choice. Additionally, the NFL is still keen on taking this event outside, as Philly follows Chicago as the second town in as many years to take the draft away from NYC’s Radio City Music Hall and host the event outdoors. “The Parkway is a beautiful location that really serves as a phenomenal backdrop for the event. It really didn’t take much convincing, to be honest,” said Needle. “[There’s] the art museum, you have the Rocky steps and the history and beauty of the Parkway itself. It’s the perfect place to hold an event, and we’re just so thankful that the NFL agrees with us.” It’s also the perfect place to hold the masses who will flock to the three-day festival beginning April 27, as Needle estimated that more than 200,000 rabid NFL fans will head to the area, with more than half from out of town. That means full hotel rooms, full restaurants and shops to what Needle also estimated will equate to $80 million in total projected impact, including revenue that will also arrive via local taxes and jobs, primarily for the construction of the massive amphitheater on the base of the art museum steps. By comparison, a Philly.com report noted that the NFL Draft Experience is slated to have a $25 million production cost. Much of that – $20 million to be exact – will be covered by the NFL, with the remaining $5 million ponied up by the PHLCVB and the 2017 Host Draft Committee.

Clearly, a sound investment for the City of Brotherly Love. “The [economic] impact is massive, but it’s also the exposure,” said Needle. “For three days, Philadelphia is in faces of millions of homes, it’s on the tongues of media members, athletes, commentators, you name it. To call this a win-win for Philadelphia is understating it, and just like events we’ve had in the past, I’m confident that Philadelphia will showcase well.” Needle’s resume of holding major events is extensive. Since his appointment as executive director of the Sports Congress (now PHL Sports) in 1996, events such as the NBA All-Star Weekend, NCAA Women’s Final Four, the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and ESPN’s X Games have held events here. PHL Sports nearly hit the jackpot in 2014, as it was a finalist as one of the host cities in an aggressive bid by the United States Soccer Federation for the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup. Russia was given rights to the 2018 event, and 2022 will be in Qatar, but had the United States won, Philadelphia would have been a major player. “We have the infrastructure to host any major event, in my opinion,” Needle said. “Our stadiums, our mass transportation, our hotels and restaurants are world class. We don’t have to build to accommodate, it’s all already here; it’s our job [at PHL Sports] to sell our city as the place that major events want to come to. It’s what we are doing every day.” Needle told PW that PHL Sports is actively in discussions to host other major events. One is the continued bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is now a joint North American bid among Canada, Mexico and the United States. Additionally, talks with the NCAA to continue to host men’s and women’s March Madness tournament rounds are ongoing, and could the ArmyNavy Game make a permanent return to Philadelphia, its home for more than a century? Maybe, if Needle has his way. “Sports is a big part of the culture here in Philadelphia,” said Needle. “It starts with our hometown teams and traditions and grows to a global level. On the weekend of this massive event, Philadelphia also hosts the Penn Relays, which is a staple, and [Philly’s Arena League football team] the Soul are home [at the Wells Fargo Center]. It’s going to be a great sports weekend, and we encourage everyone to get out and enjoy it.” Q TWITTER: @SPRTSWTR

plings indicative of his or her personal styles. Food Network personalities Alex Guarnaschelli and Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes in Baltimore (star of “Ace of Cakes� and “Cake Masters�) are also confirmed. The country’s best winemakers, brewers and mixologists will also be present. This is more than a who’s who gathering from the foodie world. Twelve years ago, Vetri and Jeff Benjamin met Liz and Jay Scott, who were carrying on the work that their amazing daughter Alex had started, to help find cures for all children with cancer. They were moved by Alex’s story and by the perseverance with which Liz and Jay honored her vision. As many do, “What can we do to help?� was the immediate response. Their answer was to host the first Great Chefs Event, which brought eight local chefs and 100 guests to The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College, raising $50,000 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Vetri and Benjamin, meanwhile, inspired by the impact of their efforts, founded Vetri Community Partnership in 2008 to give back in the area they know most about— healthy food and nutrition for Philadelphia’s youth. The event has been a dual fundraiser for both organizations since 2010 and has inspired culinary events to fight childhood cancer in other big cities. General admission tickets, which are on sale, are $350 and include signature tastings ,open bar and valet parking. After party access tickets are $525 each. A>@

In terms of upcoming events, there is a biggie penciled in for Tuesday, June 20 (6-9 p.m.) at the Urban Outfitters corporate campus in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, 5000 S. Broad St. Despite its close proximity to the sports complex, food — lots of it — will be front and center. The 12th Annual Great Chefs Event, benefiting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and the Vetri Community Partnership, will feature more than 40 of the best from across the country and around the world. As in years past, Marc Vetri has hand-selected the participating chefs, calling on friends and respected colleagues from Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Italy, among others. The A-List of culinary contributors include several finalists in the 2017 James Beard Foundation Awards, including Outstanding Restaurateur Ken Oringer (Toro, New York City) and Outstanding Chef, Outstanding Service, Michael Solomonov (Cook n Solo, Philadelphia). Joining them will be regional Best Chefs finalists: Michael Cimarusti (Connie & Ted’s, Los Angeles), Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman (Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Memphis) and Greg Vernick (Vernick, Philadelphia).

No. 1 need: star power 2/D3 A>/2/@=

<

o playoff wins since 2008. The last time in the postseason? The 2013 season. It’s a long dry spell for the Philadelphia Eagles, and one of the primary reasons is this: The top of their drafts just haven’t delivered enough star power. There have been some exceptions — wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (2009) had a fine rookie season and defensive end Brandon Graham (2010) has become, after some so-so seasons, a very good player, and of course defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (2012), offensive tackle Lane Johnson (2013) and quarterback Carson Wentz (2016) are franchise-type players.

But also mixed in are players such as guard Danny Watkins (2011), defensive end Marcus Smith (2014) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (2015), none of whom made, or has made, a difference. NFL teams need blue-chip talent, and the Eagles are probably two to three players of that caliber away from challenging to be a legitimate Super Bowlcontending team. That’s why the goings-on of this draft — particularly Thursday’s first round and the second and third rounds on Friday — are so critical to the Eagles of 2017. The Eagles need instant impact. They need star power. They need another blue-chipper. “We feel like we’ve got our board lined up so that we’re going to be in position to get a player who is going to help us,� Eagles vice president of player personnel Joe Douglas said. “There is a lot of depth in this draft. We want to hit

all the way through the seven rounds, starting with No. 14. I don’t know how it’s going to play out, but I like where we are. I feel confident about where we are.� How many stars are on this team? Wentz is on his way, but he’s not quite there yet. Johnson is the best right tackle in the NFL when he’s healthy and on the field. Jason Peters was among the best left tackles in the game, but he’s slipped just a bit in his latter years. He’s still good, but ‌ Who else? Cox, when he’s on his game. Alshon Jeffery? Four years ago, for sure. Now? We’ll see. Graham? Good and a super-hard worker, but not elite in the purest sense. So maybe this 14th pick is that kind of player. The Eagles have laid out their draft board and they say they have a solid, well-construct-

The Eagles need instant impact. They need star power. They need another blue-chipper.

ed plan. They need help at cornerback in a big way, they need another pass rusher or two, they have no proven depth at linebacker and their depth at safety is questionable. Other than that, the defense is set (note the sarcasm). On offense, the Eagles need more playmakers, particularly in the backfield with someone who can be reliable and productive. Jeffery and Torrey Smith help at wide receiver, but would the Eagles bypass someone they think can help? It’s NFL Draft weekend. Drink it up. Go to the Parkway and walk around and soak up the vibe. Grown men dig deep to discover their inner draft nerd for this weekend, and it’s a sight to see. Amid the pomp and circumstance, however, is this reality for the Eagles: This draft is huge. And the Eagles need to emerge with some difference-makers (one or two would be nice) and a crop of good, solid football players (another two or three, please) to help catapult this team back to the top of the NFC East and in the mix for a deep postseason run.

There were too many NFL owners doing what they do best ‌ overpaying players. There was no TV money to bail them out and so the league shut down for the 2009 season. The next chapter of the AFL was about decline. The league had just eight teams left at the start of last season, one that ended with the Soul winning its second ArenaBowl title in franchise history. Three more teams left over the offseason, for reasons that included finances and disagreements about the direction the league wanted to go in. The current AFL model has just five teams operating under four ownership groups. Commissioner Scott Butera decided to draw the line and make his league an exclusive club. Going forward, teams must be owned and operated by NHL or NBA franchises. No more fly-by-night owners who are here one day, gone the next. The Soul are the lone exception to that rule based on its strong ownership group led by majority owner and former Eagles great Ron Jaworski; Craig Spencer, chairman and CEO of Arden Group; Pete Ciarrocchi, chairman and CEO, Chickie’s and Pete’s; Cosmo Denicola, chairman of CD Companies; and former Eagles head coach Dick Vermeil, among others. Soul general manager and assistant head coach Phil Bogle talked about the new AFL. “The league is going in a direction where they are looking for more NBA and NHL owners,â€? Bogle said. “It’s a great format, a great formula I think for the league, for the growth of the league. We’re probably the only team without that. But with our owner-

owners. I feel like it’s a rebuilding process for this league. In the next couple of years it is going to be something special, something big.� Newly acquired fullback Mykel Benson also felt it was a great move for the league. “I love what they are doing,� Benson, 29, said. “It’s good for the young guys coming in. I’ve been in the league six years. I don’t know how many more years I have here but for what this game’s given me, I hope it gives the young guys a little more. They are doing the right thing, they’re bringing the right owners in and bringing the right people in.� Veteran defensive back James Romain said he and his teammates went to the ValOr home opener where there was a reported turnout of nearly 16,000 people at the game, their first ever. “It was packed, there was definitely a lot of energy there,� he said. “The promotion down there was pretty good. They looked like they’d been in the league a few years and this was their first game of their first year in the league.� Bogle said he looks at the AFL as a business that is starting fresh. “With any business you have to find the right formula,� Bogle said. “It has to be the right format for it to take off. Everybody started somewhere and I think we found found that groove. We found the people who really, really believe in the product, they’re invested in it, fully committed to it. It’s great things ahead, I’m really looking forward to the future of the Arena Football League.� A>@ The 2-0 Philadelphia Soul host the Baltimore Brigade in Saturday’s (April 29) home opener at the Wells Fargo Center, 3601 S.
