Reality check

T

he Wells Fargo Center is looking at many empty nights this fall thanks to the bitter labor dispute between the NHL and NHL Players’ Association. It seems the two sides are having a tough time figuring out how to split more than $3 billion in revenue (there is too much greed on both sides to simply slice the pie in half).

Who knows when the bickering will end, as the only sure thing for now is that the first two weeks of the regular season (all games through Oct. 24) have been wiped off the slate.

The 2012-13 Philadelphia Flyers schedule may have been yanked from this week’s Fall Guide, but this issue is still packed with plenty of people — 25 to be exact — worth talking about. These Difference Makers are local residents or workers who go above and beyond the call of duty to assist others. Many of them are performing these kind acts on a volunteer basis simply out of the goodness of their hearts.

They’re not doing it for a big payday or the attention — several of the honorees were actually a little shocked when they received word that they’ve made this distinguished list. Their peers and colleagues submitted letters explaining why their nominee belongs in this third-annual issue.

I recently paid a morning visit to the St. John’s Emmanuel Church, 1332 S. Third St., where Bennie and Hilda Hudson were setting up their tables to distribute produce, bread and other daily essentials free of charge to families young and old.

Duane Davis, the founder and director of Rise1, a youth and community development center at 1442 S. 22nd St., has made such a lasting impression on his young students that they put together a letter-writing campaign to make sure their mentor would be included in this issue.

Then there’s Carrolyn Minggia who refuses to let permanent damage to her central nervous system stop her from teaching arthritis aquatics to seniors — including a 96-year-old — two days a week at the Christian Street YMCA, 1724 Christian St. The late Jeffrey Rush also made the list as an honorary Difference Maker for his countless contributions to Queen Village.

These are just a few snippets from the long list of deserving honorees that starts on page 7. The passion for what they do shines through in their respective stories that will make one quickly realize that there are a lot more important things in life than whether or not the NHL returns.

P

aul Bryson started playing ball at Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., at age 5 and coaching at 13. In fact, the whole Bryson clan spent most of its time at the athletic haven.

“It kept the family out of trouble,” the native of the 400 block of Winton Street said. “It was something for us to do in the community.”

As a teen, he refereed hockey at EOM and umpired the summer baseball league at Burke Playground, Second and Jackson streets — in between playing his own hockey, baseball and football games.

During the school year, he would try to squeeze in a snooze between school and practice.

“Sometimes I didn’t have a cat nap,” the St. John Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., and Lincoln Technical Institute grad said. “I’d go right down to football. ...

I was always on the run from the time I got up to the time I went to bed.”

With his day job as community relations officer at the 1st District, 2301 S. 24th St., Bryson, who resides on the 2600 block of South Front Street with wife Patty, has

Paul Brysonm

Ella Bestm

sacrificed his vacation time to ensure he rarely missed a game.

“They’re usually used up for baseball, football, basketball,” he said of his requested days off. “I really don’t take vacation. I sacrifice my vacation days for the kids, which didn’t go well with my wife.”

Although he has been taking a break from coaching since 2011, Bryson, 45, had the gig as EOM’s baseball and softball coordinator for about two decades.

He even relaunched its softball program, which was eliminated in the 1980s.

“My daughter played baseball,” the father of four said of Chelsea, now 18, who played with the boys until age 14. “It was no longer feasible. [The girls] shouldn’t be playing baseball with the boys. They should have their own division.”

The program, for which Bryson completed scheduling and tryouts, has expanded from four teams in its inaugural year to 23 today.

“It was in the blood,” he said of his devotion to EOM. “My father taught us to give back to the community.

He did for almost his entire life. He was treasurer for three decades.”

The Whitman resident made his commitment clear by not just coaching for his own children, but ensuring every child who had a desire to play had that chance.

“I never wanted to pat

myself on the back,” Bryson said. “It’s always for the kids in the community.”

Luminous spirit

T

hose who feel movies serve little purpose should let Nicole Canale suggest their next viewing experience. Three years ago, the now 27-year-old and son Mario watched “My Sister’s Keeper,” a film centering on a teenager’s fatal battle against leukemia. Though she had known the piece would prove powerful, Canale had no idea it would engender a philanthropic identity.

“I was so emotional but Mario told me ‘ M o m m y, don’t cry; let’s

help kids like that,’” the resident of the 1800 block of Daly Street said.

The then-3-year-old’s words resonated so much with Canale that the next year she started Team Hope, which will make its third 1.5-mile trek as a participant in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Oct. 27. As her squad’s captain, she will strive to brighten the prospects of a Northeast Philly girl who is fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the malady’s most common form.

“I feel people’s pain,” the 2002 graduate of Prep Charter High School, 1928 Point Breeze Ave., said. “Plus, I would want someone to care if it were my child.”

Her descendant, who also will ambulate for less fortunate youngsters, has offered constant support for her fundraising endeavors, which have included a toy drive, a bake sale and interactions with numerous local businesses.

“I am teaching him that there are more important things than being materialistic,” the paralegal said. “While maturing myself, I am helping him to grow as a person.”

The tireless mother has come to consider all stricken youths possible recipients of her giving nature regardless of their afflictions. That became apparent when last month yielded a talk with an ill girl and her caregiver.

“I don’t know what type of cancer she has, but when I said I wanted to help, she asked ‘Are you my angel?’” Canale said. “Comments like that make me feel accomplished. I do this because I have obligations to people and for that alone.”

Proof positive

J

eannine Cook came to Philly 12 years ago and quickly settled in Grays Ferry. Hailing from Hampton, Va., the then-University of the Arts student was looking for the sense of community she had back home.

“I had a feeling looking at all of this community there was a lot of crossover,” the now-resident of 20th and Wharton streets said. “I do a lot of work with the crossover, and that’s what pulls people together.”

Cook, 28, was ready to evolve her college club that focused on bridging these gaps, so she transformed Positive Minds into a free-standing nonprofit run by herself and her two sisters, Jasmaine Cook, 32, and Jenielle Cook, 26.

“Jeannine pulled me here. When I graduated high school, most of that year I was a dancer of African dance, I traveled to Gambia, West Africa,” Jenielle, who continued her art form and began teaching in New York City, said. “I started getting more involved in the media aspect and video, doing projects being centered on this. Jeannine already had Positive Minds going. I joined and started incorporating [my work] in the lessons I was doing with

Jasmaine Cook / Jeannine Cook / Jenielle Cookm

my students.”

The last addition was Jasmaine, who had been living in New York City and was not keen on moving to Philly, but she and her sisters/co-directors, who all now reside in Point Breeze, brought their strengths to the table to encourage authentic dialogue and increase community building.

“I focus on social and emotional work, being able to create true and authentic connections with people,” Jasmaine, who is currently on tour with Madonna as a hairstylist, said. “A lot of the sisters deal with media aspects, and I teach how to be for the message to translate to media.”

The organization’s operational structure

is interested in “blitzes,” where the sisters have spontaneous projects to beautify an area or encourage community dialogue.

Two of these events recently occurred at 19th and Wharton streets and 16th and Federal streets, though they have taught their curriculum nationally and internationally. continued on page 11

uane Davis has made it part of his “life walk” to become a mentor for children in South Philly.

Davis is the founder and director of Rise1, 1442 S. 22nd St., a youth and community development center that was grounded Oct. 1, 2011, but has roots dating back to 1982.

“The first location was a traveling location,” Davis said. “We would go to schools or homes of individuals requiring services.”

The Point Breeze inhabitant funded the initial year of Rise1, which stands for “Respect, Integrity, Service, Education” with “1” referring to every individual involved, at 22nd and Dickinson streets with $35,000 — money that Davis saved during his 10 years working with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

“During that time period [with the Archdiocese], I developed skills in working with hard-to-reach children,” Davis said. “All of our youth are at-risk, so with that understanding it’s just about being patient and [making them] feel comfortable to share with me, so that I can say, ‘Hey, try this.’”

The native of 22nd and Oakford streets said Rise1 has accomplished “a great deal” in terms of making a difference in the community through youth development.

“A community is changed, either positively or negatively, by the individuals who live in it,” Davis, 47, said.

He said the area witnesses issues with high dropout rates, teen pregnancy and drug problems.

“There’s a need for change, and that change is understanding how to change,” Davis, who resides at 18th and Wharton streets with wife Michele and son Phillip whom he cyber schools, said.

At the center, Davis provides tutoring, life skills education, awareness programs, recreational activities, community outreach initiatives and parental development opportunities to those age 5 to senior citizens.

“My youth are the ones who give me the strength because I see that there can be a change if, in fact, we’re all on the same page,” Davis said.

He uses a teaching strategy that em-

powers the older participants to teach the younger children in the program. With this incentive, he said he hopes to create a “continuing cycle of each generation helping another.”

Davis aims every day to become a better father, while engaging as a mentor with those who are not his children.

“My need is just a walk and an understanding,” he said. “If you can do something, you should and if you don’t, it’s a recipe for disaster.”

rin Dougherty maintains such busy professional and volunteer schedules that she might want to consider changing her first name to “Errand.” Though idle moments come rarely for the 32-year-old Packer Park resident, she feels much more remains to address.

“I don’t think I do anything more than I should do,” Dougherty, a founding member of the Center City-based Philadelphia Electrical and Technology Charter High School for which she serves as the department chairperson for the electrical technology and cooperative education initiative, said.

“I looked down the street and a flood of kids was coming at our house for the finale,” Jenielle, who works for the nonprofit EducationWorks, said of the last day of a project at 28th and Tasker streets entitled “Community: Where Everyone Knows Your Name.” “It was twice the amount of students we’d had consistently … I thought, ‘We have something.’ We’re just one house on the block bringing all those kids to us. It was very amazing.”

While the group tends to engage younger students, they cater to pupils of all ages and feel the life lessons are invaluable for all groups.

“I really have an attachment to the demographic of 24 to 40, each one of us has a specialty group we are attached to,” Jasmaine said. “I feel like there can be more healthy ways of expressing ourselves and connecting instead of using drugs and alcohol to inhibit so we can connect.”

Jeannine, a media communications major with a minor in arts education, was primed for her eventual entrepreneurial venture, though it may not have been in her plans.

“It’s been interesting,” Jeannine, who now devotes herself full-time to the organization said. “I’ve been learning on the go. I just saw a need and I felt like we could build something, we could make a difference. Bridging a small gap, that’s what we’re doing.”

Equipping students with cameras and the know-how of communications, Positive Minds arms people with the tools needed to make a change. The sisters feel their diverse backgrounds add to the richness of the teachings offered at Positive Minds, and they are looking to continue to grow the concept, keeping it as fluid as the changing dynamics of the neighborhoods they serve.

“My sisters are two very strong individuals, and so it is challenging at times. We have different visions and how we see things happening, but we are also able to overcome these,” Jenielle said. “We just bring our visions together and hone in so we can create great projects. We have the same mission, and we’re bringing it all together.”

the 10-year-old institution’s seniors, with her present endeavors pairing eager minds with more than 50 employers. With a sluggish economy touching all generations, she stressed the importance of having youths see their potential to contribute to its rejuvenation.

“We’re really fortunate to be thriving now,” she said of the students, who for 15 hours per week bank determination and dollars.

In addition to devoting a decade to secondary pupils, the Temple University alumnus has taken on homophobia in collegiate athletics as a two-year board member of the nonprofit Br{ache the Silence.

“There is a significant problem within the NCAA regarding homosexuality, so I am working to promote tolerance and to help everyone to understand the importance of being inclusive,” the Pennsport native said.

Her employer welcomes learners from 30 zip codes, with many registrants calling South Philly home. In helping the local attendees, she is indirectly fostering the community outside its boundaries and brightening its confines directly by volunteering for her high school alma mater’s Millay Club; Philly Girls Got Game, an organization whose emphasis on basketball often unites young females for clinics at Neumann-Goretti; Burke Playground, Second and Jackson streets; Pennsport Civic Association, 1837 S. Second St; and the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., for whom she worked as a coach in her adolescence.

“I love communal engagement,” Dougherty, who also can count time as a delegate at two Democratic national conventions toward her list of civic accomplishments, said.

Always eager to add her input for the good of many, this individual deems personal recognition “humbling.”

“I’m just someone who goes out and tries to do for others,” she said.

ecause he has lived all but two of his 57 years within Annunciation B.V.M. parish, someone could court Frank Franzini to pen a book on loyalty.

As doing so could bring him renown, the resident of the 1500 block of South Ninth Street would certainly decline and maintain his solemn approach to existing as a factotum for his beloved Passyunk Square congregation.

“I’ve just tended to things as they’ve come along,” Franzini said of his service to the church based at 1511 S. 10th St. “This is my spiritual home and has meant so much to me, so I do what I can.”

Though his primary role calls for him to serve as the sexton for the 151-year-old site, the devotee also has assisted as a Eucharistic minister, an event coordinator, a lector, a lottery facilitator, an overseer of September’s St. Pio Festival and a parish council member. A graduate of the parish’s former school, 1148 Wharton St., which last month merged with St. Nicholas of Tolentine School, 913 Pierce St., to form St. Anthony of Padua School at the latter location, Franzini credits his education for inspiring his willingness to administer to his fellow believers, including the 20 ill companions to whom he distributes Holy Communion.

“I find myself among great people,” he said of his duties, which have strengthened his feelings on fellowship and fortitude.

The St. Joseph’s Preparatory School graduate has required extra resolve recently, as caring for his infirm father has upped his appreciation for the gift of life and for those who help to lead souls through all occasions, especially troubling ones.

“I’ve always been able to call on my faith, which this parish has intensified, for

support, and I like to think whatever I do reveals my gratitude for my many mentors,” he said.

Though he would not lift a quill to document how to master allegiance, he felt compelled last year to write a poem for the parish’s sesquicentennial. The piece detailed the joy that thousands have been able to experience as parishioners, and he hopes to meet more fervent followers soon.

“This distinction as a Difference Maker catches me off guard,” he said, “but I feel blessed.”

Sweeping improvement

C

rime and trash-strewn alleyways are two major issues that create eyesores in sections of South Philly. Ignoring these problems only will worsen the situation. Adé Fuqua, South Philly’s PhillyRising Collaborative coordinator, has taken more of a hands-on approach that is generating positive feedback.

The Germantown native highlighted one particular cleanup on the 2100 block of Earp Street in which the program, a segment of the Managing Director’s Office, had removed four tons of trash from an alley.

“I think that it’s interesting to point out that we found trash dated from 30 years ago,” Fuqua said noting a Pepsi bottle’s packaging was the giveaway. “The people are now guarding the alley with their life.”

But organizing cleanups is only a small sampling of how he aids local citizens. In Southeast Philly over the summer, Fuqua led the Citizen Engagement Academy, which taught residents how to navigate City government, at United Communities of Southeast Philadelphia, 2029 S. Eighth St. continued on page 14

continued from page 12 In Point Breeze, he coordinated with volunteers and resources to form the Philadelphia Youth Music Program at Wilson Park, 2201 S. 25th St., to offer youngsters ages 12 to 17 — some of whom are from the juvenile probation system — hands-on training from local established music professionals like Carvin Haggins, a North Philly songwriter and producer, whose songs were nominated for five Grammys last year.

He also keeps an eye on crime and public safety by working closely with the 1st, 3rd and 17th police districts. The common thread through all of these components is achieving the overall goal of improving the quality of life for South Philadelphians.

“It’s a people thing for me,” Fuqua, who now resides in Northern Liberties, said.

“Seeing anybody that’s underserved or underprivileged being able to achieve something makes me feel good.”

But as appreciative as the W.B. Saul and Penn State University grad is of the Difference Maker nod, he noted there is a more deserving group worthy of the recognition.

“I would like to nominate the community because they’re the one doing all of the work,” Fuqua said.

he front doors to the St. John’s Emanuel Church, 1332 S. Third St., were wide open with a line of people — from a young child to senior citizens — wrapped around the steps with the customers patiently waiting to enter the hall.

Inside, Bennie and wife Hilda Hudson along with several volunteers are busy placing breads, bananas and other daily essentials on display. A nearby empty ta-

ble is reserved for winter coat donations.

Around 11 a.m. every Tuesday morning, Hilda welcomes all of the guests, instructing them to form a single-file line as they approach the tables where the volunteers help them to fill plastic bags.

“It’s an inner joy you get from doing it,” Hilda Hudson, 60, said of the weekly ministry, which gets support from the church’s Rev. Cornelius Eaddy, who also happens to be her brother.

Before getting the items, each family signs in and writes down how many members it has so Bennie, an alum of Edward Bok High, 1901 S. Ninth St., and Hilda, a grad of South Philadelphia High, 2101 S. Broad St., can keep tabs on the number of people served. An empty bucket is placed at the center of the table for patrons to toss in donations, but it’s not required.

The church has become a second home for the Hudsons, who share 32 years of marital bliss. The Point Breeze residents also give away food 11 a.m. to noon Wednesdays while 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Thursdays is reserved for providing residents with several pounds of meat.

“We just decided that we wanted to do something to give back to the community,” Bennie, 61, said of the food program that began seven years ago. “A vicar gave us a $500 grant to start it.”

In the beginning Bennie was in charge of the transportation while Hilda and fellow parishioner Celestine “Biddy” Mason ran the ministry, which started out by distributing hot meals on Thursdays. When Mason passed away four years ago, Bennie took on additional responsibilities. With the assistance from Philabundance, 3616 S. Galloway St., the offerings expanded in 2007. Their constant desire for helping hasn’t gone unnoticed by nominator Dolores Collins, who also volunteers. “[Bennie and Hilda] give so much of their time, and yet if you meet them, they are so cheerful and make everyone around

them welcome,” Collins said.

The retired couple spends many afternoons waiting for deliveries and completing the necessary paperwork. Benny, a native of 10th Street and Washington Avenue, previously worked for a metal plant while a party supply company employed Hilda.

Hilda, who grew up at Third and Carpenter streets, stores all of the donated goods in the building’s kitchen area that is equipped with several commercial refrigerators and freezers filled to the brim with cakes, chickens, turkeys, water and countless other items. Philabundance drops off food at the church every week while the Hudsons, of the 1800 block of South 24th Street, also make regular stock-up trips to BJ’s Wholesale Club, Target and Walmart.

ShopRite has provided additional financial support through grants.

“The bible teaches us to be servants,” Hilda said. “We serve families. It’s like being Santa Claus on Christmas.”

Broadway Ray

W

ith a golden heart, an exceptional ear for harmony and an exquisite voice, 83-year-old Ray Innaurato has made majestic music his mainstay for most of his life. His obsession also has perfected his pitch as a philanthropist who helps to advance promising performers’ pursuits.

“I am very proud of what music has helped me to accomplish,” the resident of the 2200 block of South 13th Street said, “as it has helped me to do a good service to South Philadelphia and beyond.”

The graduate of South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., has lent his passion to the choir at Epiphany of Our Lord Church, 11th and Jackson streets, since 1947. He used his early involvement to expose the parish to his love for musicals, too, as he injected Broadway favorites

into events. A dozen years ago, the Lower Moyamensing inhabitant gave his résumé another noteworthy accolade by joining the Alfonso Cavaliere Memorial Concert board, which will continue its mission to endow young talents with grants by designating its 19th awardee Oct. 28 at Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. As the entity’s director of group sales, treasurer and vice president, Innaurato is lauding his successors while also strengthening his already robust desire to pay tribute to tunes.

“Music has been such a tremendous incentive to live my life to the fullest,” he said.

Losing his first bride a decade ago, he sought solace through joining the choir at the South Philadelphia Older Adult Center, 1430 E. Passyunk Ave., where he has been able to croon with Edith, his wife of almost five years, as The Cruising Duo. “I feel very comfortable among my peers and am glad they receive my presence well,” Innaurato, who also has won praise for playing the spoons, said. “I was gifted with a harmonic ear and love to be able to entertain.”

Innaurato, who retired after careers in finance and human resources, performs with Epiphany’s singers for weekly services and with the center’s representatives for more than 12 annual shows. When the memorial concert commences, it will permit him another chance to look out for his contemporaries, as he said it will give them the feel of a Broadway show without damaging their bank accounts.

“Music doesn’t have to be expensive to be good,” he said.

Decades removed from his adolescent days of singing on corners as an Alley Cat Quartet member, he still finds singing seductive.

“It draws people,” he said. “I admire that it has given me so many opportunities.” continued on page 16

is self-confessed lack of will power has enabled Ed McBride to enrich local children’s lives for 47 years.

As the lone president in the 51-year history of the Edward O’Malley Athletic Association, 144 Moore St., the resident of the 300 block of Fitzgerald Street has stressed allegiance to strengthening one’s physical and emotional makeup, with other ventures transforming him into a local version of the Energizer Bunny.

“I have been fortunate to be around a great group of people,” the 74-year-old said of his tenure at the Pennsport location, which has proven a second home for 35,000 youths. “The results show in the amount of upstanding community members we have helped to produce.”

The 1955 graduate of Southeast Catholic High School, formerly Seventh and Christian streets, also has striven to promote communal pride as the vice president of The Millay Club, his alma mater’s alumni body; financial secretary for the Quaker City String Band, 1942 S. Third St., and the secretary-treasurer for Center City’s Casa Farnese, a senior apartment complex.

“I love all that I am doing, so I see no reason to wind down,” McBride, who retired last year from his post with IBEW Local Union 98, said. “In fact, my paid work had begun to get in the way of what I really desire to do.”

His affiliation with his most recent employer has allowed the former printing business owner to enhance his charitable nature, as Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas gifts have made their way into needy households. His full calendar has necessitated a need to manage his boundless energy among what he essentially said amounts to four families: EOM, Neumann-Goretti, Quaker City and his actual clan, including his three sons.

Difference Makers

continued from page 16 ping and an annual holiday celebration.

“Life is wonderful and when you’re here, you’re supposed to share that wonder,” she said. “I’m amazed at how these people look at me. They think I’m special and unique. I’m just an ordinary person. … Sharing time with them is a joy.”

Extracurricular leaders

T

wo teachers from Christopher Columbus Charter School, 1242 S. 13th St., have been working together to establish a sustainable learning experience for their middle school students.

“The difference they have made takes a team,” their nominator Susan Patrone, a past president for the Columbus Square Advisory Council and 2010 Difference Maker, said.

Within seven years, Leah Vodila, a Minnesota native, and Teri Ruiz, originally from New Jersey, helped to incorporate a green club and establish a recycling program for paper products at the school; transform Columbus Square Park, 1200 Wharton St., into a safe and fun playing environment for the neighborhood children; pair with the Philadelphia Water Department to implement stormwater infiltration planters on the sidewalk; and start a learning garden for students to gain hands-on education.

“It started by working with [Patrone] in my regular classroom,” Vodila, a 12thand-Reed-streets resident with husband David, said. “We went and we surveyed the park to look for ways to look for improvement. Then from there, the kids got involved with the cleanups twice a year, in the fall and spring, with the community, school and [advisory council].

Ruiz, the green club advisor, who teaches sixth-grade language arts and science,

said it’s because of Vodila, a seventh-grade literature and math teacher, that she got involved.

“None of this would have happened if [Patrone] didn’t pull [Vodila] in, [Vodila] didn’t pull me in,” Ruiz, 50, said. “It was a collaborative effort.”

The recycling program and other sustainable after-school activities were started shortly after the founding of the green club, which was attainable from a 2009 Foundations Inc. grant, when a student expressed interest in a recycling initiative to Ruiz.

“Now the kids run the show pretty much,” Vodila, 36, who served in the U.S. Army for three years after receiving her degree in elementary education from Ohio’s University of Daytona, said. “Two eighth-graders go around at the end of the day to pick up trash and recycling. It’s still going, three years strong.”

“There’s so much paper use in a school,” Ruiz, a former newspaper photographer who later went to Holy Family University for elementary education, added. “So even after a quarter is done, the kids will clean out their folders and [now] they know to recycle their papers.”

The green club is also in charge of the infiltration planters on the sidewalk and maintaining the learning garden in the Passyunk Square-based park.

“The green club grew seedlings on my [classroom] window, and we started planting the basil and tomato plants with the preschool,” Ruiz, who resides with husband Miguel at 12th and Gerritt streets, said. “The big kids taught the little kids how to plant [the seeds]. It was amazing.”

Ruiz said the idea is for the students to start not only growing, but tasting fresh vegetables and fruits. “[This is about] taking ownership of the park and what’s around us,” Ruiz said. “And at the same time learning about science and having fun and really learning what community is about.”

Rev. John Stabenom

Reverent reverend

T

wenty-four years into his life as a priest, Rev. John Stabeno knows now more than ever the severity of his vocation. As the founder and executive director of the Washington Township, N.J.-based Prodigal House Foundation, the 48-year-old helps sufferers to overpower their addictions, with his often-unfortunate past as his inspiration.

“We’re looking at an epidemic,” the 1982 graduate of the former St. John Neumann High School, 2600 Moore St., said. “There is a great deal of despair, especially among young people, who are lacking a sense of hope.”

Stabeno witnessed a wave of woe in his youth, as numerous friends engaged in substance abuse. He eventually fell prey, too, but readily recovered and returned to his alma mater for two stints as a counselor.

“I have wanted to help people the way I was helped,” the advocate said of his most prominent undertaking, the management of his six-year-old foundation.

Stabeno called on the parable of the prodigal son, in which a shameful young man receives his father’s mercy after squandering his inheritance, as motivation for launching the location, which hosts various groups all intent on saving lives through love, even if it is of the tough variety.

“In some way or another, addiction affects most families, and we have too many great people who are misguided,” the Passyunk Square resident said.

Stabeno, whose outreach also assists local clans and who typically celebrates the Saturday Vigil Mass at Annunciation B.V.M. Church, 1511 S. 10th St., considers hearing success stories his greatest reward in tackling that which strips his fellow children of God of their dignity. He, however, has had to weigh those fortunate revelations against tales of death and dismay.

“Words can barely describe the pain of seeing a family burying a child,” the priest said.

As he believes the division between good and evil is expanding, Stabeno vows to let nobody bow to emptiness.

“I feel humbled to have this honor,” the designee, who hopes to intensify his connection to South Philly through establishing a comfort club for affected families, said. “I just hope more people will realize the responsibility that everyone has to make a difference.”

Marina Stamosm

Educational matchmaker

W

hen Marina Stamos’ son was about to enter kindergarten, she applied to a private and a charter school, not giving the neighborhood choice a chance.

“I was actually against sending him there,” she said of Andrew Jackson School, 1213 S. 12th St. “I went under duress at first because it didn’t have a good reputation.”

Theodore Lindestamos, 7, is now a second-grader at the public school.

Prior to enrolling him, she reluctantly joined forces with Passyunk Square Civic Association parents trying to enhance the learning environment and met 2011 Difference Maker Angelica Victoriano, who, along with other Latino parents, had the same goal.

Stamos, who has a master’s degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania and a teaching job at a North Philly charter school, assisted where needed to continue the improvement efforts.

“If I’d succeeded in anything, all I’ve done is made some calls and sent some emails and been myself,” Stamos, 49, said noting previous careers in broadcasting and writing. “Things started happening because I realized I use e-mail, I speak standard English. It’s just easier for me.”

When she learned parents wanted to learn English and students wanted to improve their English writing and speaking skills, she mentioned the request to her husband, Theodore Linde, an electrical contractor, who happened to start working at the home of a Temple University Spanish professor, who had been looking for schools where her students could teach.

The parents’ confidence levels when speaking their second language have gone up since the after-school club initiated and a University of Pennsylvania student addcontinued on page 20

Difference Makers continued from page 18 ed a Mandarin club last year.

Stamos’ most recent endeavor is looking for a designer to renovate the school’s music room.

“I just enjoy it,” the Wynnefield native who grew up in Upper Darby said. “I’m just constantly looking for opportunities because they’re always out there.”

While buying a phone, her salesman happened to be the cofounder of Rising Sons, a mentoring program for at-risk AfricanAmericans and Latinos, which is now assisting Jackson youths.

“I think all I do is yap and yap and yap,” she said noting she could find connections at a party or in line at the supermarket.

“I’m just persistent and I just make sure I pitch our school. If it’s a match, I just let them know in no uncertain terms that we are the match for them.”

Art at heart

T

he running joke with Anne StanfieldHagert’s students is that she is a Anne Stanfield-Hagertm “pretty bad artist.”

But when students ages 5 to 12 attend her Old Time Arts and Music sessions at the South Philadelphia Branch, 1700 S. Broad St., the focus is not on creating awardwinning works.

“Art is a way for kids to learn something about themselves,” the resident of the 1800 block of South Broad Street said. “It requires a will and enthusiasm to try things out and experience them.”

Thanks to Stanfield-Hagert’s fiveyear-old nonprofit, youngsters of various ethnicities — Vietnamese, Cambodian and Chinese to name a few — bond together for a few hours twice a week. The free proCharles “Chahlie” Steckerm gram, which averaged about 10 participants in the early days, nearly tripled to 28 eager learners during this Philly Branch and year’s eight-week session.

Once the eightweek summer session comes to a close, the group hosts an August gala displaying all of the original works. The students fill the dual role of featured artists/waitstaff.

Each child also receives a DVD of their work.

“I am helping them see that they can do things they didn’t think they could do,” StanfieldHagert said. “I love helping them evolve and learn that there is not a right way to be.”

Strive to survive

“S

tatistically, I shouldn’t be who I am today,” Charles “Chahlie” Stecker, of 13th and Jackson streets, said.

A man of many trades, Stecker works as a Democratic committeeperson, a judge of elections at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., and a volunteer with Lower Moyamensing Civic Association.

He is a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, a contact negotiator representing the Philadelphia Security Officer’s Union, an avid motorcycle rider and a full-time security officer for Center City’s AlliedBarton.

Stecker is also a child abuse survivor.

“I was quiet for many years, but when I saw the magnitude of what was going on and the effect it was having on families and children, I felt strongly that ... I didn’t go through what I went through to keep it to myself,” Stecker, 49, said.

At age 4, he watched his foster mother kill his 2-yearold brother.

The tragic event has inspired Stecker to speak out against child abuse, and help those who have been affected.

“Something inside is driving me to do this,” Stecker said. “I believe that each of

our experiences in life, whether they’re positive or negative, is a way of learning.

We should use it to help others.”

Stecker founded the International Child Abuse Prevention Task Force, an organization geared toward stopping child abuse before it starts with proactive programs, while also supporting the abused with reactive intervention.

“If we can get the abuser to stop abusing then we [can break] the cycle of abuse,” he said. “Those who do abuse have something in their past that triggers it. It shouldn’t be an excuse, but it’s still a reality.”

Through his system, more than 4,000 volunteers around the country are in charge of catering to people who see abuse in their towns but don’t want to report it, whether it’s because of fear or another reason.

“If you don’t wanna call [to report it], you call us,” Stecker, who has a daughter, Chrysti Lyn Stecker, said. “One of the volunteers will go out while it’s happening ... and they make the call to the law enforcements.”

Stecker started his journey toward fighting against child abuse by acting as an inspirational speaker for “Chahlie’s Angel,” in remembrance of his brother.

Through this initiative, he encouraged people not to have their past interfere with their future.

“My free time is serving other people,” Stecker said. “It fulfills me, it’s my calling and it makes me happy.”

Western hospitality

W

hen Megan West sets her eyes on a desperate dog, little time passes before it is wagging its tail. The 27-year-old has honed a lifelong infatuation with the protection of pooches, a passion that Saturday’s third annual Mums & Mutts fundraiser at Burke Playground, Second and Jackson streets, further fortified in raising about $10,000.

“Nothing tops literally seeing a dog’s life saved,” the resident of the 300 block of Roseberry Street said. “I think my involvement has helped me to realize part of my purpose in life.”

The Whitman inhabitant has assisted Landenberg’s TreeTops Animal Rescue as a foster parent since 2009 and has offered care to 14 dogs whose welfare had been woeful, including Lexie and Frank, whom she adopted. Her nurturing nature has enabled her to help the Chester County spot to match the four-legged friends with forever homes.

“Along with the dogs, I wanted to be there for something that likewise needed help and that symbolized South Philly through its record of creating communal

Difference Makers pride,” West said.

As the Mummers Parade has benefited from her inner circle’s participation in numerous New Year’s Day celebrations, she sought out its governing body to propose an event with mutual rewards. West chose to stage Mums & Mutts to assuage fiscal fears for her duo of backers, helping the latter by targeting a different Mummers organization or entity annually. The Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St., earned this year’s split, and endowed TreeTops, for whom she has kept dogs for as little as two weeks and as long as seven months, with the rest.

“I could not tolerate all the talk about the possible demise of much of what we associate with the Mummers, including, of

course, the parade,” she said.

Though her love for January revelry is strong, it cannot best her love of dogs for longevity or tenacity. Her pull began in her youth and has intensified as plentiful factors have caused a crisis in caring for canines.

“It is becoming tougher for dogs, who give us so much,” West said.

She has realized she cannot save all distraught dogs, hoping that enough people find inspiration to salvage those outside her care.

“This is a big honor for me,” West said.

“If I could inspire one person to save one animal’s life, it is all worth it.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

hough his last name might cause one to think of rapidity and carelessness, Jeffrey Rush preferred a measured and thoughtful approach to matters, especially those with bearing on Queen Village. Pancreatic cancer claimed the 67-yearold Aug. 14, ending a distinguished life that seemed to cherish challenges and their subsequent solutions.

Originally from Seventh Street and Oregon Avenue, he resided with wife Kathleen McCann Rush at Christian Street and Columbus Boulevard, endowing Queen Village with his allegiance to social enhancement, with acute attention to green space and zoning, for 31 years. The Temple University alumnus and a U.S. Army product studied local matters tirelessly, choosing battles that divulged his penchant for decency and fairness. The Queen Village Neighbors Association, of which he was a two-time president, among many roles, benefited most from his tactful demeanor, with a December 2010 triumph against advocates for the embattled Foxwoods Casino project proving his love for the Delaware River waterfront.

That victory, a direct result on his belief that a gaming hall would tarnish the esteemed expanse, derived from his having served as the Central Delaware Advocacy Group’s vice chair. That body and the Interstate Land Management Corp., which he assisted for 20 years, added bulk to his résumé, but Mr. Rush cared only about bettering others’ welfare. Two months after the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board stripped investors of their casino license, he took another step toward solidifying neighborhood growth through his appointment to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

His passing has left Queen Village, which he helped to acquire status as the city’s first Neighborhood Conservation District, forlorn, but his track record has his civic successors aware of the distinction between losing without giving one’s all and succumbing after displaying one’s courage.

“I’ve seen a lot of growth in Philadelphia and done what I could where I could to promote positive development,” Mr. Rush said in a February 2011 Review interview. SPR

even pitch to pitch to pitch. Each moment of the game, innocuous in and of itself, is part of a layered building toward a climax the postseason brings, culminating in the World Series. Defeat or victory hang in the balance. The memory of the rare moment of victory lives from generation to generation and, much more often the hard acrid bite of defeat.

Each season of playoff baseball is ingrained in the memory of the fan. Each of those years is clearly marked by the success or failure of our team as clearly as it is marked by deaths and births and weddings. To the non-fan, this fact is more than silly — it is blasphemous. They show impatience with fans and admonish them to stop this obsession with well-paid athletes who seem to forget defeat so much more easily and move on. The fan never forgives an athlete who is able to forget failure sooner than he, the fan.

On a personal note — as an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan, I cringed when Ralph Branca began touring with Bobby Thomson and doing the buddy bit. For me, Thomson was and is forever the man that broke my heart with his “miracle” home run off of a Branca fastball. 1951 is a year when I can remember nothing else but despair for the rest of my life.

Frank Sinatra sings a song called “There Used To Be a Ballpark.” It is, even today, one of the saddest songs I know. Imagine, among all of the songs of heartbreak and loss sung by Sinatra, this all but forgotten tune remains so deeply ingrained in the part of my heart reserved for tragedy. As I write this, I can still hear this song for it could serve as the theme for Phillies fans in this October time. The ballpark is still there in bricks and mortar, but yet is not.

For what is a ballpark without the noise of people and the crack of a bat on the ball.

Indeed, does it really exist in a vacuum, like the tree that falls in the forest with no one around to hear the sound?

And so this October, when baseball is still being played in other lucky cities, where the glare of TV cameras showcase their proud communities, where the blimp flies over the brightly lit stadium, fireworks explode in the evening sky and anticipation hangs breathlessly in the air — our ballpark is dark and empty.

The team has scattered until next February. In South Philly, there is a hush around the ballpark. Even the eternal cry of “wait until next year” lies muted in the throat.

Sure we know, like “Brigadoon,” it will awake once again in spring, but that is not consolation, not right now. The beauty that is autumn cannot rescue us from the sadness of our empty ballpark. SPR

here is an October fire in the sky. Cars bustle along Interstate-95. The leaves in Marconi Plaza are turning into a colorful palette that signals autumn.

The zest for living is all cinnamon spice and crisp apples. Yet there is a sadness that has come upon this nutmeg scene.

It’s a feeling that there is something missing in South Philly on the twilight of early October. Traffic passes by Citizens Bank Park on the way to a myriad of destinations. The ballpark is deserted. There are no crowds gathering here; no baseball chatter among fans standing in line; no vendors hawking their wares; and no red, white and blue bunting draped around the park. The night descends on this now-forgotten ballpark.

In sports, victory is fleeting. Fame and fortune can abandon you like lady luck at a craps table. Was it only last year at this time that hopes ran so high when Halladay was pure magic, fortune looked to be our handmaiden and a return trip to the World Series seemed so certain? Wasn’t it on just such an October night when we went to the field of our own dreams with hopes so high? The word “dynasty” tripped so easily off our tongues, fueled by 102 wins during the season. All worldly concerns were dissipated, suspended for a brief stretch of fall when we basked, yes, reveled in the wonder of playoff baseball.

Our hopes were dashed by a maelstrom called the St. Louis Cardinals on their own magic carpet ride, and we thought, what could be worse than this bitter taste of ashes and the season’s abrupt ending that left Ryan Howard wincing in pain and struggling to get up to run out a weak ground ball? And yet we have found what is worse in the world of sports is not being there at all, not being part of the elite teams participating in the annual autumnal battle for glory, ignored by the very lords of the baseball media, as forgotten as yesterday’s newspaper.

While football is appropriately celebrated as fall’s king, there is nothing like the daily tension of the baseball playoffs. No waiting a week, as in football, while during the interim period talk shows pick over every minute detail of Sunday’s effort.

Baseball grips you like no other because it is part of the daily life of each fan. The tension builds from game to game, nay,

The real deal

Some of Hollywood’s best material is based on individuals who made an impact in their efforts to create a better life for others.

By R. Kurt Osenlund

The 1988 movie “Gorillas in the Mist” focuses on Dian Fossey’s (Sigourney Weaver) journey to Africa where she studied and fought to protect primates.

Movie Reviewer

A

general rule of the Hollywood biopic is the subject in question needs to have clinched some whale of an achievement, with ripple effects fanning out to impact the culture at large. Sometimes, as in 2005’s Johnny Cash flick “Walk the Line,” the impact is arguably small, merely stirring up the music biz. Other times, as in 2008’s Harvey Milk portrait, “Milk,” the effect is profound and revolutionary, turning the tides for an entire community. The following list of biographical film subjects runs the gamut in terms of worldly impressions, but the common thread is that each person lived a life that changed lives.

Norma Rae (1979) Sally Field won an Oscar for her turn as Norma Rae, a character based on the real-life Crystal Lee Sutton, who was fired for attempting to start a union at her cotton mill. The antithesis to the recent drama “Won’t Back Down,” which sees plucky women take a stand against unions, this movie quickly became a hymn to laborers everywhere trying to protect their jobs.

Braveheart (1995) A new classic among battle-loving boys and spectacle-loving cinephiles, Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart” is an old-fashioned revolution epic, which sees Scottish warrior William Wallace (Gibson) lead his oppressed people in a war of independence against England.

It’s a film that resonates strongly with Americans, as the Scots’ path to freedom mirrors our nation’s own.

Schindler’s List (1993) Steven Spielberg’s black-andwhite milestone is as much a portrait of a man’s conscience as it is a snapshot of the holocaust. “Schindler’s List” stars Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler, a German war profiteer who started out by exploiting cheap Jewish labor during World War II, only to realize his influence and status could save scores of doomed prisoners. His efforts led to the salvation of more than 1,000 Jews.

Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) Depicting a Lincoln who had a ways to go before the Emancipation Proclamation, John Ford’s “Young Mr. Lincoln” stars Henry Fonda as the famously benevolent president, and focuses on his early law career, specifically as he defends two men from a town that’s known for lynching. A complicated film, the movie offers a glimmer of who Abraham Lincoln would become, laying the groundwork for an epic cultural shift.

Selena (1997) Don’t snicker — though it’s largely a by-the-numbers biopic that most could take or leave, the Jennifer Lopez vehicle “Selena” ably charts the impact of ill-fated singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, who before her murder at the age of 23, became the topselling Latin artist of the decade, opening doors for countless Latino stars to come.

After her death, Selena became a martyr, mourned for her brief, but indelible effect on an international audience.

Kinsey (2004) Though he may not seem like an obvious hero, 20th-century sexologist Alfred Kinsey had a tremendous impact on the way all modern people view their sexuality, introducing the sliding scale

that ranked an individual in regard to sexual preferences. Liam Neeson plays the professor as a man with many flaws of his own, unprotected from sex-related emotions he strives to keep out of clinical work. In modern times, Kinsey may be second only to Freud in terms of how we contemplate desire.

Stand and Deliver (1988) Starring Edward James Olmos, “Stand and Deliver” is based on the life of Jamie Escalante, an East Los Angeles teacher who stepped up to teach poor Latino kids left behind by the school system. In a subgenre loaded with imitators, this film, which netted Olmos a Best Actor Oscar nod, homed in on a specific corner of society, and ultimately showed how Escalante shaped his students into math whizzes.

A Cry in the Dark (1988) The case depicted in the Australian drama “A Cry in the Dark” was only just closed this year, as Lindy Chamberlain (portrayed in the film

by Meryl Streep) was finally cleared of all allegations concerning the 1980 death of her infant daughter (as filmgoers surely know, the baby was in fact snatched in the desert by a dingo). The movie, directed by Fred Schepisi, was just the first chapter of a story that’s a testament to fighting for justice — no matter how long it takes.

Gorillas in the Mist (1988) Sigourney Weaver has played a lot of tough heroines in her career, but none made the kind of real-world mark left by naturalist Dian Fossey, whom Weaver plays in “Gorillas in the Mist.” Fossey devoted her life to the study of primates, particularly a group of rare mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Fossey fought against the poaching of these animals, and though her efforts led to her mysterious death, they also led to the species being saved from extinction.

Gandhi (1982) A movie that needs no introduction, Richard Attenborough’s “Gandhi” may just feature Ben Kingsley’s best performance, as the living saint who led India’s nonviolent resistance movement against Britain in the early 20th century. Wise, warmhearted, and spanning several decades, this dramatic saga stages Gandhi’s initial protest and the eventual efforts that sealed independence for India. The gentle hero’s worldwide influence is unquantifiable, his life philosophies forever etched into history.

e meet again, old friends. I am thrilled to catch up with you after nine months of playing fourth fiddle to the other seasons. I hear so often that people want this country to have a solid third-party candidate. Well, here I am! As President Barack Obama and Massechusetts Gov. Mitt Romney campaign to win your votes, I need for you to realize they cannot top my record for sticking to the facts.

I am simply the best one to guide you in the upcoming months. While I cannot guarantee your Flyers will return to the ice, I have numerous events to remind you that orange and black were my colors before they were theirs. I am Autumn; hear me roar. SPR

Kathleen’s Best Meatloaf

Beef or no beef

T

he supermarket shelves are stocked with Peanut Chews, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, candy corn and numerous other sugary favorites capable of launching one’s sweet tooth into the Milky Way. A stockpile of goodies will soon make their way into that giant bowl set on the kitchen table. Before stretching those hands into the dish, think about enjoying Kathleen Valle’s Best Meatloaf for a source of protein.

The resident of the 2600 block of Dudley Street adds her own twist to the popular American classic by blending the ground meat mix with pepperoni, a bell pepper, shredded mozzarella and some sauce. Don’t worry, there will still be plenty of room for a piece of candy or two afterward. SPR

INGREDIENTS: 2 pounds of ground pork, beef and veal mix 1 8-ounce package of thinsliced pepperoni 2 garlic cloves 1 roasted red bell pepper, skin removed 1/2 cup of grated Pecorino-Romano cheese 1 teaspoon of oregano Salt and pepper, to taste

T

wo chefs face off with completely opposite versions of a Philly staple.

The Ultimate Chef Cookoff features Christina Pirello, Emmy Award winning host of PBS’ “Christina Cooks,” and Frank Olivieri, owner of Pat’s King of Steaks, 1219 S. Ninth St., to compare their respective vegan and steak products 2 to 5 p.m. Oct. 27 at Ninth and Wharton streets. Tickets are $10 with proceeds benefitting The Christina Pirello Health Education Initiative.

sipped a glass of Cascina Bruni Barbera ($9) that was lighter but fared just as well.

A gentleman accidentally removed Edward’s wine glass even thought there was some left. He apologized and brought out two servings of homemade vanilla ice cream. The texture was more like gelato and rich in vanilla bean flavor.

The tarte tatin for two ($12) was more like a homemade pie crust filled with tart apple chunks and topped with butter, Calvados and sugar. It was not properly caramelized but no matter. It was tasty, obviously homemade and arrived with more delicious vanilla ice cream.

sulting in long strands. It was made with semolina flour, tossed with bits of pancetta and topped with five tiny black cockles.

The meat from the clams was the size of a newborn’s fingernail and the course lacked a vibrancy. I found the dish a bit salty and the pasta could have been hotter.

We liked the roasted squid because it imparted a marvelous, smoky flavor. The play of warm squid to cool salad greens, particularly the thinly-sliced radishes, worked well here, but the appetizer portions were too small.

Whenever I see quail on a menu after autumn arrives, I always order it. The Mildred’s version ($24) rated good marks because the two little birds arrived juicy and succulent, and the breast bones were removed for easy eating. They were stuffed with a mixture of ground pork and veal that I thought was too bland, and the crispy skin was a little salty, but the pool of lentils improved the taste.

The hanger steak ($22) arrived mediumrare, tasty and juicy. I think it is visually appealing when a chef serves sliced hanger or skirt steak. Although we enjoyed the beef, the star of the dish was the potato galette. Thinly-sliced potatoes were placed in a concentric circle, seasoned with salt, pepper and butter and baked in the oven. Both dishes needed a vegetable to round out the entrées.

Our waiter advised a glass of San Martino SiiR, ($10) a rich, deep garnet red wine from Italy, to top off the quail. Edward

hilly’s dining scene must be enjoying a robust health. Two South Philly places recently opened, and I could not wait to see what types of cuisine they had in store for those of us who crave something new and unique.

Bella Vista’s The Mildred once housed Michael’s, a red gravy restaurant, which morphed into James, a fine dining place with high prices.

The Mildred has a handsome, cozy look and atmosphere. There is an exposed brick wall with a fireplace in one of the dining rooms where the lighting could’ve been a bit brighter, but the acoustics were excellent. The interior was decorated with highly polished hardwood floors and wood tables set with linen napkins. The banquette was quite comfortable.

I had great difficulty reading the menu.

The font was too delicate and the description was printed in an ink so light the waiter had to explain dishes to me.

Several waiters took fine care of us.

Edward sipped a martini ($11) while our server recommended a glass of a bold, grassy sauvignon blanc from New Zealand ($12) to enhance my pasta appetizer.

We received a large loaf of sourdough bread that was piping hot from the oven and outrageously delicious.

“We bake our bread here,” a server said.

“Must be the South Philly air.”

I began dinner with chitarra with cockles ($10) while Edward ordered the roasted squid salad ($8). A chitarra is a wooden box fitted with what appears to be guitar strings on which fresh pasta is placed, re-

The crisp fall air may have delayed its permanent stay, but don’t let the scenario squash plans of featuring fresh favorites from the farm.

By Phyllis Stein-Novack

■ Roasted Acorn Squash with Honey, Smoked Paprika and Sage Salt

■ Roasted Autumn Vegetables ■ with Maple Syrup

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 small pumpkin, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 white turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 large yam, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Olive oil, for drizzling Pure maple syrup, for drizzling

Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.

Place all of the vegetables in the pan and toss well. Add the salt and pepper.

Drizzle with the oil and toss well. Drizzle with the maple syrup and toss again.

Roast the vegetables for one hour.

Serves four.

from “Cook This Now” by Melissa Clark 2 medium acorn squash, trimmed, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch rings, seeds scooped out 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons of honey 1 teaspoon of smoked sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt 4 large sage sprigs (about 16 nice leaves) 2 teaspoons of coarse sea salt

Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, paprika and salt. Arrange the squash on a large baking sheet. Pour the paprika oil over the squash and toss well to combine. Place the sage leaves in a small baking pan.

Transfer both pans to the oven. Roast the sage leaves until just crisp, for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Raise the heat to 400 degrees. Continue roasting the squash, turning once, until tender and light golden, for about 20 minutes more.

Transfer the squash to a platter. Crumble the sage leaves in a small bowl with the coarse salt. Sprinkle the sage salt over the squash and serve.

Serves four to six.

■ Spaghetti Squash with Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients:

2 large spaghetti squash 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter 1 large shallot, sliced 2 fat garlic cloves, sliced Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Fresh Italian parsley leaves, chopped About 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan

Directions: Place the squash in a large glass lasagna pan. Microwave them on high for about 10 minutes. Remove the squash from the oven and allow to cool.

Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet.

Add the shallot and garlic and sauté over medium heat for about five minutes. Season with the salt and pepper.

Cut each squash in half. Using two forks, gently pull the flesh apart into long strands. It will look like spaghetti. Place the squash strands in the skillet and gently heat through.

Place the squash in a pretty serving bowl. Top with the parsley and Parmesan.

Toss well.

Serves four. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

he vibrant colors of autumn are filling our markets with a bumper crop of pumpkins and squash. For more than a month, I’ve seen small sugar pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns and a variety of squash — acorn, butternut, confetti, Hubbard and delicata — luring me to place them in my shopping cart.

When buying small pumpkins and squash, run your hand over the skin; it should feel smooth to the touch. Avoid the ones with brown spots. Pumpkins and squash can sit on the kitchen counter for several months.

For the past few years, I’ve seen peeled and cubed butternut squash sold in the markets. Having a bag or two on hand in the fridge makes cooking a snap, but I like to purchase the vegetables whole because they add color to my kitchen. They also inspire me to concoct new recipes.

Cutting small pumpkins, butternut and acorn squash can be tricky. Slicing them open is much easier if you microwave them for a minute or two.

There is nothing wrong with canned pumpkin. I use it in soups and, of course, classic pumpkin pie. Make sure you buy unsweetened canned pumpkin because you do not need any added sugar.

Honey and maple syrup are good friends with pumpkin and squash. When I roast these vegetables, I drizzle them with these natural tasty sweeteners throughout the fall and winter.

Funds For an organization that gives Free physicals to scholar athletes

G etting a physical to play school sports in pennsylvania

isn’t a choice, it’s a requirement, whether the future alma mater is South philadelphia, Ss. neumann-Goretti, The preparatory Charter or Bok Technical high schools.

“This program has prevented potentially unnecessary tragedies from occurring on the playing field.”

- David M. Shipon, MD, FACC

The very least dr. Joseph Steingard, the family physician namesake of Steingard & Testa Medical association at 415 Bainbridge Street and 2601 South 12th Street, felt he could do for the kids was to make the testing free and as far-reaching as possible.

david M. Shipon, Md, FaCC, a preventive cardiologist with The Heart Center of philadelphia, and the director of the Jefferson University Hospital/ Methodist Cardiac rehab is the aHo’s Chief executive officer. as he stated at last years’ Methodist Foundation fundraiser for the now newly expanded cardiac rehab, “prevention starts with the children.” The organization has grown from a valuable screening program that screened a few hundred children in a school gym to, what dr. Shipon terms “a population health organization that provides comprehensive physicals and education to thousands of children.”

What began with 25 local volunteers in 2002 now has 300 health care professionals from various hospitals, including Methodist Hospital and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. it has even started a population health student society dedicated to the aHo at Jefferson Medical College. These medical professionals oversee the free comprehensive physicals for those in grades nine to 12. Held each June, more than 1,000 budding athletes saw specialists in general medicine, pulmonary, orthopedics, cardiology and neurology for testing that normally would cost upwards of $3,000 per student.

This year, the aHo found at least four children who had potentially lethal heart arrhythmias. in fact, at such screenings, approximately 1 in 100 kids are typically found to need follow-up care that, if left undetected, could lead to potentially lethal problems.

Moved by the on-court death of college basketball star Hank Gathers in 1990 and inspired by a similar program run by his doctor brother, paul, in phoenix, arizona, dr. Steingard is founder and chairman of the athlete Health organization (aHo). “We cover so much medically,” said dr. Steingard. “i feel so proud of that and the work we do.” He has seen the aHo flourish over the last decade.

“1993 Memories!”

Your pictures & videos continue to inspire & crack us up! Then the silence and aching void follows. But Ecclesiastes 3 tells us “For everything there is a season; a time for every purpose under the sun. A time to break down then heal; to mourn & dance; to cry & laugh.”

Knowing this, we’re in all different stages of coping but your swagger gets us through & so continue to soar, ”Romance Killer”, because you will never be forgotten.

Happy 22nd BirtHday!! you are still “the life of OUr party!”

Pennsylvania’s Child Protective Services Law allows anyone to report suspected child abuse. You do not have to witness the abuse firsthand and you do not have to disclose your name to file a report.

If working with children is part of your job, you must report suspected child abuse — it’s required by Pennsylvania law.

Get more information about Pennsylvania’s child abuse reporting law by requesting a free copy of the “Reporting Child Abuse” brochure from the Pennsylvania Bar Association at 1-888-799-4557 or by visiting www.pabar.org.

A project in the public’s interest from the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Bar Trust Fund and the Philadelphia Bar Association.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.

A

bout a third of the commuters on a casino shuttle bus that was in a minor accident in Center City May 7 allegedly said they were in serious pain following the incident.

Wanda A. Bouie, 54, of North Philly, and eight South Philly residents — Marion A. Alston, 63, of Porter Street; Richard A. Coleman, 49, of Winton Street; Vanessa Foreman, 54, of Hemberger Street; Martha V. Holman, 66, of 32nd Street; Christina M. Pullo, 48, of 10th Street; Gwendolyn L. Scott, 68, of Moore Street; George R. Senick Jr., 30, of Second Street; and Kim R. Welton, 53, of Winton Street — filed personal injury claims against the trolley-bus company, claiming to have serious, or, in some cases, traumatic, pain, according to an Oct. 2 District Attorney’s Office press release.

A SugarHouse customer shuttle holding 26 passengers grazed mirrors with a stationary SEPTA bus at Seventh and Market streets, according to the release. Video and audio surveillance cameras onboard did not show any passengers move substantially during the collision and the shuttle’s mirror was not damaged.

When the shuttle’s driver investigated the bus, several passengers were allegedly laughing and joking about the casino’s “deep pockets,” according to the release.

The nine alleged offenders turned themselves in to the District Attorney’s Office between Sept. 26 and Oct. 2 and were charged with insurance fraud and attempt-

ed theft by deception, according to court records. All were released on their own recognizance except for Pullo, who paid 10 percent of her $5,000 bail. Both thirddegree felonies could result in up to seven years in jail and/or a $15,000 fine.

Roommie ruckus A man allegedly confessed to strangling his Dickinson Narrows roommate Friday.

Carlos M. Farrington, 35, of the 1600 block of South of Orkney Street, allegedly flagged down police and admitted to killing someone at 1:40 p.m., Officer Christine O’Brien of the Police Public Affairs Unit said.

An argument allegedly led Farrington to strangle and beat James Carlos M. Lawson, 34, whose Farrington body was found covered in towels and curtains in their basement, O’Brien said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Farrington, who is being held without bail, was charged with first-degree murder and theft, according to court records. He had pled guilty in 1999 to a robbery, firearm violation and drug possessions that occurred in the late-90s. SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L.

prayer to Saint pio Beloved Padre Pio, because of your friendship with the Lord, He heals those you ask to be healed, and forgives those you forgive.

Saint Pio, please help me with my request: Bless me and my loved ones. Amen B.G.
