South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., when the Great Depression hit to do his part for his family in desperate need of resources. Maybe it was this experience that drove Heffron to enlist at the age of

try. Heffron died in December 2013 at the age of 90. Soon after, Jim Kenney, Democratic nominee for Mayor of Philadelphia and Two Street native, initiated the process of organiz-

To the Editor: We at Mighty Writers humbly (and with no illusion that it will be noticed by our honoree) bestow the title of Mightiness upon Pope Francis. The decision was a no-brainer. One, the Pontiff is just so darn joyous. He smiles. He laughs. He likes people. He especially likes kids. And because he does, his compassion just flows. “A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just,� he says. Argue with that at your own risk.

(We did mention how he especially likes kids, right?) Two, he disrupts conventional dialogue. (It’s what writers do when at their best, for your information.) He spends time in the trenches: with the poor, with refugees and immigrants, the incarcerated and lowincome school kids. And because he does, he sees the world from far more angles than the rest of us. It shapes his mission, dictates his message, propels the urgency. The man would make an awesome nonprofit leader. He’d be an awesome choice,

come to think of it, to lead most anything. (The Eagles, for one, could desperately use his access to divine intervention.) Joy and disruption are big favorites at Mighty Writers (1501 Christian St.). We’re no Francis by a long shot, oh no, but we do value and strive to emulate his leadership. We work with Philly kids every day. Some days may require a little more oomph than others, but this is certain: If you can’t find joy here, you ain’t going to find it. We all see how the system treats Philly kids: how expectations are systematically lowered, resources routinely squandered or not forthcoming. And we all watch as communities we love are depicted beyond recognition by political fools on TV every night. A little disruption, isn’t that the least we can serve up? Distill Francis’ message, and it comes to this: An insistence on fairness for all. Consider us acolytes. Meanwhile, Your Mightiness, welcome to Philadelphia. We have a feeling you’re going to like it here. BW[ EVWbOYS` 3fSQcbWdS 2W`SQb]` ;WUVbg E`WbS`a

They have to be a very exceptional and better-than-average breed of human to do what they do because they truly care for those so dependent on them. Honestly, how many of us have what it takes to be a cop? Not too many, I am sure. We all have jobs, going to work each day and being pretty sure that we will return home at the end of our shifts.

Do any of you have any concept at all of what we would do without them? Can you imagine what our streets and cities would be like? Yes, like any job, there will always be those rare misfits who spoil it for the good and dedicated to be weeded out. I am grateful for the two officers who pulled me over three weeks ago to inform me that my brake lights were defective, a little thing that could have proven to be quite dangerous. Please give that passing cop a little smile and a “hello,� perhaps even a little “thank you.� Those can’t hurt! We all need that little boost from time to time. It doesn’t cost much, does it? Theirs is truly a thankless job, and I sincerely thank them for doing it. I hope you never need them, but know they will be there when you do. Thank you, guys. 4`O\Y 1OdOZZO`] A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

t 12:41 p.m. Saturday, authorities responded to a report of a person-witha-weapon on the 2400 block of South 21st Street and met with the injured complainant, also observing the supposed aggressor holding a large knife, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They instructed the latter figure to drop the item and took her into custody. The victim told them she and her boyfriend live with the woman and her partner and that she and the detained individual had argued over a dishwasher. After she left the spat, the complainant again appeared in the presence of the charged offender, who allegedly swung the knife while running toward her and struck her on the left arm. Law enforcement agents, who recovered a knife, detained Dawn Coopertino and charged her with possession of an instrument of crime, assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Responding to a person-with-a-gun report on 27th Street and Snyder Avenue at 8:51 p.m. Friday, authorities observed the first complainant on the highway at 2100 Point Breeze Ave. with a gunshot wound to her lower back and right calf, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They also noticed a second victim dealing with a gunshot wound to his right hip and transported the duo to Penn Presbyterian. Based on flash information, peers stopped a juvenile on the 1600 block of South 28th Street and following the recovery of evidence related to the crime and witness identification, they arrested the 1700-block-of-SouthHollywood-Street resident and charged him with aggravated assault and related offenses.

ours truly is the product of 16 years of Catholic schooling (it would have been more had I not gone to a secular site for graduate studies), so I can barely contain my excitement concerning all of the events happening this weekend. I have the fortune of being able to attend Saturday’s Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul as a journalist and will somehow join in the joy of Sunday’s Papal service. While Pope Francis will be encouraging attendees’ spirits during his stay, entertainment heavyweights such as Andrea Bocelli, Aretha Franklin and Mark Wahlberg will be tending to congregants’ more worldly needs. Based on their contributions, I started to think about what other individuals would have made great selections, so here is my top 10 list of weZLVK \RX ZHUH DOVR FRPLQJ ¿JXUHV

esidents of East Passyunk Crossing have surely been asking one another one persistent question: “What the heck is going on with 10th Street?� It’s an allconsuming construction project that forces complete road closure from Tasker to Moore streets in shifts, and it’s causing many headaches. South 10th Street is a frequently-used expanse where makeshift fences and cones have caught motorists and cyclists off-guard since March. “On March 15, 2015 the Water Department was notified of a cave-in on the street near the corner of 10th and Fernon streets and responded that day. Our Sewer Maintenance Unit made repairs to the broken sewer and our Distribution Unit repairs to the water main,� according to a fact sheet issued by Philadelphia Water June 1. Then it got worse. “Several weeks later, on April 23 we were called to the block again regarding reports of a broken water main and a depression in the street. In the process of repairing the water main, it was discovered that we had valves that

A]cbV bV Ab`SSb T`][ BOaYS` b] ;]]`S ab`SSba VOa PSS\ O [Saa aW\QS ;O`QV Photo Provided by Bill chenevert

were not properly functioning. As a result of their investigation and the evaluation of the water main and sewer in these blocks, it was determined that the water main and sewer from 10th and Tasker to 10th and Moore [streets] should be replaced.� The mains along this section of South Philly date back to 1925 and 1895. “I think at the very beginning there were a lot of questions around what was going on,� John Digiulo, a spokesman for Philadelphia Water and project point person, said. “Replacing a sewer takes approximately six to eight weeks per block and the water main approximately four

weeks. Every job is unique. We’ve finished the water main replacement for the whole two blocks; we still have the sewer left.� Some residents have reported rodents emerging from the wreckage at night. Parking has been completely removed. Sidewalks abut rubble and fresh, loose dirt. Businesses like Fountain Porter, 1601 S. 10th St., become rooms where neighbors gossip about timelines. As of print, Philadelphia Water believes the project will be finished around Nov. 20. In the June fact sheet of frequently asked questions, it finishes “it is anticipated that 10th Street will remain closed for approximately another 3-4 months.� Four months from June 1 is October 1, next Thursday. In an another Q&A stamped Aug. 18, Digiulo wrote “South Philadelphia is one of the most congested areas of the city and thus the impact of construction and repair activities tends to feel magnified to those who work and live in the area.� In the meantime, if you live on the 1600 and some of the 1700 block of South 10th Street, your life for eight months of this year has been characterized by beeping construction trucks, jackhammers, dust and restricted access to your front door, another consequence of urban density and an aging city’s infrastructure perhaps. -Bill Chenevert +(* Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/briefs.

t was 2008 when Peg Talbott-Lane and a small team of volunteers conceived of and pulled off a festival they called the Southwest Center City (SWCC) Rock ‘n Run. It was a 5k run followed by some bands on 22nd Street in Graduate Hospital and, at the time, “Julian Abele [Park] was a mud pile,� she said. Fast forward to ’13 and Blocktoberfest as we know it had become a superstar South Philly block party. Nearly 15,000 people showed up, 200 kegs were guzzled and $80,000 was raised for philanthropic purposes. This year’s version falls next weekend on Oct. 3, and the now year-round planning committee is getting ready for more through the annual extravaganza. “Blocktoberfest is an established entity and year-round in a strict sense, but the bulk of our work takes place in the summer and early fall leading up to the event,� Chris Durham, the president of the Blocktoberfest board of directors, said. The planning committee has 12 volunteers and as many as 100 additional volunteers turn out on the big day to provide

beer, 45 kegs, and that was the year that 5,000 people showed up. Budos Band was our headliner. We ran out of beer at 4 p.m.,â€? Talbott-Lane remembered. “It was craziness. The neighbors on Christian Street said ‘Wow, this is great. You have to move now.’â€? In ’11, on South Street and with a new partner in Bella Vista Beer Distributors, 755 S. 11th St., they went through more than 100 kegs. “We have succeeded every year, even when less-than-optimal weather resulted in lower attendance and revenues,â€?

0/03 Q]\bW\cSR T`][ ^OUS were portrayed in the critically-acclaimed HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers� (inspired by Stephen E. Ambrose’s 1993 non-fiction book by the same name) that aired for three months in the fall of 2001, was by all accounts a humble hero and a lover of his neighborhood. Heffron was a private in Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, in the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army and the accompanying monument’s pair of plaques detail his personal history and war accolades. For his bravery in Operation Market Garden, in defending Bastonge, Belgium in the Battle of the Bulge, in liberating the Kaufering concentration camp in Landsberg, Germany, and capturing Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest in Austria, he was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart with clusters for his service. “As [Tom] Brokaw said, it was the greatest generation. These were just young kids and they went and they defeated the two best armies in the world; it was a tremendous feat,� Terry Jones, a Newtown Square-based sculptor whom Kenney recommended early on as the ideal artist to execute the monument, said. The artist himself served for six years in the Marine Corps Reserve and was flustered when asked to articulate what meaning can be pulled from Ambrose’s stories of American men and women’s service. “It’s massive. Half of those guys didn’t make it back. As Babe said, he’s no hero – the heroes are the ones that are in the ground in Europe.� Jones’ work may be familiar to South Philadelphians; he received a commission from the St. Andrew’s Society of Philadelphia to create the Scottish Immigration Monument at Penn’s Landing, which saw a dedication in Oct. ’11. He sculpted Lt. Gen. Lewis B. “Chesty� Puller at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA, dedicated in ’12, the most decorated Marine with five Navy crosses. “All I tried to do was represent Babe in two dimension and then in three dimension. You’ve got to make the uniform absolutely accurate,� Jones said. “I have an airborne uniform, and I got the boots, and I got all the medals he would’ve gotten – you go the extra mile to do it right.� Kenney and Jones recently appeared on the Vai Sikahema noon show and “the first thing I said was I’m honored to have the opportunity to create this memorial.

to be there for 500 years. Bronze and granite outlive the mere mortals that we are. For Second Street to have a memorial like that, it will be iconic.� “IT WAS JUNE of 2014 that [Kenney] came up with the idea of honoring Babe and doing it in South Philadelphia,� Ed McBride, a ’12 South Philly Review Difference Maker, who was on the committee that Jim Kenney’s staffer and 2014 Difference Maker Rich Lazer pulled together, said. “[Terry Jones] did a wonderful, wonderful job of it. We were in awe. At the young age of 18, you can make a difference if you apply yourself. Anytime we would have a fundraiser we would always mention that.� The monument is a reminder, especially for younger generations, of heroes in history and the importance of the lives lived before them. “This statue is dedicated to all of the brave men and women from South Philadelphia and all over the world, who have served and sacrificed for

our great country,� the dedication plaque says. “It serves as a reminder of the true meaning and importance of freedom and what it means to fight for it.� “It’s great because it makes a couple generations removed aware of what those people did in that time,� McBride said, later harping on a common refrain that Heffron never wanted any glory. “He did not want to be considered a hero. The heroes are the people who did not come home,� he added, and when the book (and later the miniseries aired) was published Heffron often told folks “now you can stop asking me about it because everything’s in the book.� The committee formed included Kenney, state Rep. Bill Keller, First District Councilman Mark Squilla, Lazer, ’13 South Philly Review Difference Maker Dan Stevenson, Trisha Zavrel, Allie Pfender, McBride, Mark O’Connor, Amanda Wozniak, Joe Brooks, Froggy Car Club and Jimmy Vesare. Lazer actually has a very distinct memory of Heffron and his best friend, William “Wild Bill� Guarnere, touring South Philly schools and visiting classrooms to offer first-hand accounts of WWII. Heffron and Guarnere, with the help of journalist Robyn Post, co-authored “Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends: Two WWII Paratroopers from the Original Band of Brothers Tell Their Story.� “Babe probably walked by the monument over a hundred times,� Lazer said. “We thought it was fitting to put him in a playground.� He remembers Heffron and Guarnere, who also passed at the age of 90 last spring, visiting his seventh grade classroom at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, formerly on the 2300 block of S. Third St., in about 1998. “It was something I’ll always remember,� he mused. “He was a kid when he went off to war, did some great things in horrible situations, and he came back and got back into the life and worked at the waterfront and raised a family,� added Lazer. “Second Street was so important to him; he loved it and he never wanted to leave.� Lazer fondly remembers Heffron’s love for betting on “ponies� and drove home the soldier’s humility. “The things that that unit did and the awards they won and the medals they were given, plus the HBO documentary and the mini-series, it never changed who he was. No amount of fame or any type of glory changed the person he was.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

The Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University and the Foundation for Breast & Prostate Health are offering free prostate screenings as part of a research program. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. Screening is important because prostate cancer shows no symptoms in its earliest stages. Many organizations recommend prostate health assessment as part of men’s healthcare. Free screenings, including a blood test for prostate specific antigen (PSA), testosterone and cholesterol and a digital rectal exam, will take place at the following two locations:

visit to his Facebook profile page reveals that Alex Bechtel contributes to Philadelphia’s theater scene as an actor/creator/ music director/composer/sound designer, a litany of labors that can appeal to lovers of punctuation and dedication. Feeling fortunate to nourish that many titles, the 29-year-old is feeding the final factor of that fivesome through Villanova Theatre’s production of “Eurydice,� continuing a calling that yields wisdom and wonder with each endeavor. “I love every chance to grow and learn, and I’m certainly approaching this work as an educational opportunity,� the resident

of the 1200 block of Dickinson Street said of lauded playwright Sarah Ruhl’s re-telling of the Greek myth concerning the title character and husband Orpheus. “It’s a really good play, and I value working as part of such a cohesive collaborative.� The Passyunk Square inhabitant noted that the show, which commenced last night and concludes Oct. 4, includes a touch of newness for him, as it marks one of the first times that he has not composed original music for an assignment. It also reunites him with director and fellow Barrymore Award winner and South Philly dweller James Ijames, with whom he performed in Arden Theatre Co.’s 2014 “La Bete� production and for whom he sound designed June’s “Moon Man Walk.� Infused with found sound that he tabbed “ornate and lush,� the note-based components find Bechtel amplifying the emotional depth of the narrative, which has Eurydice debate whether to leave the underworld with her mate or to remain in it with her father.

B?<;IJOB;I “I admire the means through which this has come together, especially because of James and his eye for handling the text,� Bechtel said of his peer’s prowess. “For me, that’s been interesting because I’ve become accustomed to the pace of the process and because I’ve been able to mess around with a couple techniques.� Blessed with a musical mind and a “brainy and obsessive way� of considering the power of theater, he regards the Delaware County-based venture as an excellent way to accentuate his creative impulse and augment thriving connections with enthusiastic practitioners. “I’ve definitely found my tribe,� he said of tallying colleagues in Philadelphia, a realm he lauded for its endowing him with occasions to join micro-communities and add to their theatrical ambition. “When I’m pitching an idea or becoming aware of one, I always sense this energy, and that makes me hungry to work with people. The city seems like an all-day buffet, and it welcomes voracious people. I’m thrilled to count many of them as my friends.� BECHTEL BEGAN TO align himself with similarly excited creative forces as a Lu-

zerne County-reared youth. Thanks to his gifted relatives, particularly his parents, music meshed with him immediately, with theater endeavors joining melodic pursuits when he turned 10. “Revelations are still coming to me on how to combine the two,� he said of what has become a renowned merger of the passions. “As I’ve said, though, Philadelphia enables me to do that, and there seems no shortage of chances for me to contemplate the fusion.� In forming early drafts of his vocational journey, Bechtel, finding a level of certainty within theater that other options lacked, chose to challenge his cerebral sensitivities by entering the field, with the University of the Arts as his postsecondary education haven. “I wanted that deeper understanding of stage-based possibilities, and it became apparent there,� he said of being a musical theater major at the institution, through which he has secured employment as an instructor. “When my time there was done, the lure of employment was the initial pull, but collaborators and friends quickly won favor, too.� Fellow Passyunk Square denizen Jen

Childs became his initial benefactor, hiring him in ’08 for “This Is the Week That Is,� a staple of her Whitman-headquartered 1812 Productions. He spent a stint in Chicago but realized that Philadelphia would offer more camaraderie and flexibility and decided that being a local factotum would best serve him. “When I came back, I did so believing I could pursue everything with more fervor and direction,� Bechtel, who became a member of the premiere graduating class at the Pig Iron School for Advanced Performance Training in ’13, said. “I can’t credit everyone enough for having that become a reality.� Because of his constant craving for honoring his creative drive, the multi-faceted presence has needed to compartmentalize his career and admitted that can prove challenging. That he even has the fortune to sketch schedules pleases him, as honoring his gifts means as much as having them. “It’s true glee that I feel in being able to say I have this interest and that desire and can somehow go after them all,� Bechtel, whose University of the Arts freshmen add more vigor to his aspirations because

of their enthusiasm for acquiring diverse identities, said. “My skills flow into one another, and I am quite fortunate to be able to express my voice through characters and projects.� Area theater aficionados could come to hear his timbre three times Nov. 2 at The Merriam Theater, as he is contending for a trio of Barrymore honors, including the prestigious F. Otto Haas Award for an Emerging Philadelphia Theatre Artist. Before that, he will handle sound duties for the FringeArts building-centered “Holden,� with a pleasant spring opportunity acting in the Walnut Street Theatre’s “Peter and the Starcatcher� and next summer’s release of a solo musical ensuring that his tireless brain will keep earnestly firing. “Philadelphia is so special to me,� Bechtel said. “The vibe is conducive to such a range of projects. When that’s part of your world, you’re doing pretty well.� SPR Call 610-519-7474, or visit villanovatheatre.org. Contact Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [ our presidential candidates. If the Pope’s visit accomplishes only knocking Donald Trump off CNN and the front pages of America’s newspapers, I will be happy. One does not have to lack compassion to question how we get around the question of vetting the refugees. The possibility that ISIS will use the world crisis to try to sneak terrorists into receiving countries is a real one. The vetting process here takes weeks, as I understand it, and we do not have that kind of time. At this moment, I’m thinking of hiring a map reader to figure out which SEPTA routes are running and where. Based on the map online, it looks as if Route 2 will be running from Johnston Street to Wolf Street with a detour to Cambodia. I know that can’t be right, can it? Pope Francis has achieved rock star status, and I wonder what he thinks about displacing Drake on some folks top ten list of entertainers. Imagine the joy he will feel when he gets his name mentioned by Mario Lopez. I see that Aretha Franklin has been signed for the special concert in the Pope’s honor. It is not easy to restrain oneself from getting down and dirty when Aretha belts out R-E-S-P-E-C-T. The Pope has his work cut out for him trying to restrain himself from dancing. We forgive him if he does let loose. Maybe we should even encourage this man, who is truly of the people. The since-nixed plan to open up a campsite for the tourists was a great idea, so I figure hotel managers in the City can’t be thrilled. The vacancy rates of our best hotels for the papal weekend are higher than Tommy Chong on a good day. Our fine restaurants are also worried about this upcoming weekend. Although the City seems to have loosened the restrictions on food deliveries, they still appear unnecessarily complicated. For instance, is it necessary to have a couple of hours one morning devoted entirely to the delivery of mozzarella and fresh basil? Someone posed the question to Mayor Michael Nutter, who advised everyone to chill out with a fresh lemonade (lemons are restricted to delivery between midnight and 1 a.m.). The mayor is deciding whether to wear his conservative wingtips to the papal concert or, since Aretha’s been added to the lineup, his discophonic blue suede shoes. I have to believe that somewhere this weekend, Jerry Blavat will meet the Pope, and I am hoping that moment is recorded for posterity. The Pope’s best language is Spanish, and I am not sure how the nickname “Geator with the Heater� translates. Pope Francis has shown that regardless of the agenda set up for him in the past, he likes to go into poverty-stricken areas to preach to the poor. That will be a challenge here. The way his agenda has been set, Pope Francis will be seeing more politicians than the poor. I am guessing that he finds a way. SPR

ncle Nunzio was surprised to find me at home. “This is your good week, isn’t it?�, he asked. Columnist’s note: I am fortunate enough to enjoy about 10 days out of 14 free from side effects after every chemo cycle. Uncle does not usually indulge in circular questioning, so I wondered what he was insinuating. “Wait a minute,� I replied, the light bulb beginning to light. “You mean because of the papal visit?� “Yeah, I expected all of you atheists to go running out of town.� “I am not an atheist. I think I may be an agnostic,� I said somewhat uncertainly. I was unsure enough not to be indignant. “An agnostic is just an atheist without the courage of his conviction.� I abandoned this argument quickly, not liking where it was headed. Lately Uncle has been getting the best of me at too many arguments. I blame a side effect known as “chemo brain,� where the cancer-hunting chemicals cause temporary memory lapse. For instance, since the chemo treatments began, I mix up Khloe and Kim Kardashian. “What you’re missing, dear Uncle, is that atheists tend to like Pope Francis more than Catholics. There’s no reason to run away from him. Quite the contrary.� Uncle claims this is just another bogus claim liberals make about the so-called liberalism of the Pope. He thinks this is what comes from watching too much of MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.� “Did you know that the Pope says that even atheists can get into heaven?� I retorted. Another liberal distortion, according to Uncle, who I’m starting to think is related to Daily News columnist Christine Flowers. Uncle claims I would have to be “redeemed� first before I could get into heaven. “You’re about as incapable of redemption as an expired S&H Green Stamp,� he says. The great expectations about the visit of Pope Francis is about more than Church doctrine. He has become a great world spiritual and moral leader in a relatively brief time because his message resonates with our time. He has addressed issues such as climate change, poverty and immigration with keen insight and compassion. He has changed my perception that too often in recent years, the American branch of his church has seemed just another wing of the RepubIican Party. I expect he will talk to us about the refugee crisis in Europe this weekComment at southphillyreview.com/opinend with the compassion lacking in some of ion/cardella.

t’s always an indecisive process judging which pizzeria has the perfect slice. There are so many factors – the best crust, cheese, sauce and toppings, but when you find the perfect slice, you don’t forget it. That’s why the South Philly Review’s seventh edition of the Pizza Olympics lets its readers decide the best pizza in the neighborhood. Pizza lovers have had the chance to vote on the following seven categories since the inception: best crust, veggie, Sicilian, toppings, white, tomato pie and overall slice. “Everybody has a good pizza,� Ralph Scuilli, co-owner of Ralph and Rickey’s, 2700 S. Seventh St., an event newcomer, said. “Everybody makes it differently.� For all but the inaugural feast, the Pizza Olympics have had its slices served at Penns Landing Caterers, 1301 S. Columbus Blvd. Although the annual event won’t be held there this year, patrons can visit each participating pizzeria from Monday through Oct. 26 to pick their favorites. Returning for the seventh straight year is Cacia’s Bakery, 1526 W. Ritner St., a family-run business that has been around for 62 years, and last year, won the goldmedal for best Sicilian slice. “It’s really fun for not only us, but it’s

fun for our customers,� Joey Cacia said. “Hopefully we can bring more customers so they see what we’re all about. I’m going to miss going there and seeing everybody and handing out pizzas. Since we’re a close neighborhood, it’s nice to see everybody contributing. � Ralph and Rickey’s, a pizzeria established in 1967, is owned by brothers Ralph and Rickey Scuilli. The two have been worked in the pizza-making business since Ralph was 19 and Rickey was a 15-yearold freshman at then-Bishop-Neumann High School selling cheesesteaks to his classmates for 55 cents to promote the family business. “I do it for the community,� Ralph Scuilli said. “We’ve been around 48 years. We must be doing something right.� Pizza certificates will go on sale starting tomorrow at the South Philly Review office, 2448 S. 12th St., between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets will cost $15, with a portion of all proceeds going towards local elementary schools. “Anyway the schools can be benefited is nice,� Cacia said. “We were a little ambivalent about the change of the event, but because it was helping schools it made our decision easier.� This year’s winners will be announced in the Nov. 5 issue. Local schools interested can call 215-336-2500 ext. 106 or 129. See other contents of this page for participating eateries, a map to guide your pizza-fueled journeys, a sample certificate and a ballot. +(*

ny investigation into the history of cheesecake will leave researchers stuffed, as the sweet dish has won worldwide renown as a meal capper. Dawn Gothie-Spei, of the 2700 block of South 17th Street, is not one to argue with the establishment and chose to bless readers with her Bingo Cheesecake recipe. The Marconi resident noted that her creation received its interesting name courtesy of an acquaintance who gave the dessert to her husband, Joe, more than 25 years ago through bingo action at the National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia, 1166 S. Broad St. No matter the added adjective in front of this offering, perhaps your version, like Dawn’s, will become a popular request when venturing to see relatives or friends. +(*

K, so the start of the 2015 Philadelphia Eagles season has not exactly been memorable. Following Sunday’s one-sided 20-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in their home opener, what looked like a potential Super-Bowlcontending season suddenly resembled a finger-pointing session on everything that is going wrong. Aramark executive chef James Hennessey really cannot be concerned about the on-the-field performances when he has 60,000-plus fans coming through the turnstiles for eight regular season games and possibly the postseason. Unlike the Birds, the Academy of Culinary Arts grad is earning some early praise from his critics. “All of our new items were offered during the summer events and preseason games. The feedback we received was great. Fans especially like the addition of Zac’s Burgers, a DelCo favorite,� Hennessey, who noted that he occasionally catches a snap or two, said. A larger braised beef sandwich and a beef brisket meatball sandwich (recipe included) are a couple of the other rookies on the menu. For those who prefer watching the Eagles at home, or in need of a meaty lunch for upcoming away games against the New York Jets and Washington Redskins, the chef has downsized his recipe for those looking to put this sandwich in play for a much smaller crowd. “The Beef Brisket Meatball Sandwich, it’s one of the newest additions to the team this season, and the feedback has already been tremendous,� Hennessey said. “Just like the new guys on the field, this is sure to be a Sunday pleaser.�

pon entering William Penn Charter School as a freshman, Kenny Bergmann Jr., socially comfortable and athletically blessed, developed doubt over being able to achieve academic success at the renowned East Falls-situated institution. Never one to eschew a challenge, the Whitman resident has strengthened his identity as a student, with the merging of all his gifts leading the football and baseball star to score a scholarship to the University of Connecticut. “I’m excited about the future, for sure, but there’s plenty of business in the present to take care of,� the senior said Saturday after the Quakers downed Bishop Shanahan 19-12 to improve to 2-1, their other victory being Sept. 12’s 40-14 decimation of Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. “Football is really picking up, and baseball is going to be a big test as usual, so I’m not thinking too far ahead.� The 18-year-old will play the latter sport for the American Athletic Conference constituent and will look to head to the Constitution State by leading his Inter-Ac location to gridiron and diamond prestige. Navigating participation in each pastime has proven highly influential to the teenager, who, no matter what the calendar says, loves encouraging and influencing his contemporaries. “I’ve always been very enthused about helping my teams to win,� Bergmann said. “It’s always such a rush to contribute and to be a part of a cohesive unit.� As a linebacker and occasional tight end for the Quakers, who will host Interboro today, the young man is building on a pigskin legacy born of his father, whose Lycoming College Warriors clubs captured the 1991 and ’92 Middle Atlantic Conference crowns. As “a release from baseball,� which he commenced playing at age 8 through the Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St., the younger Bergmann gravitated

Making it his selection over Neumann-Goretti and New Jersey’s Bishop Eustace Preparatory School, the latter under the direction of Lower Moyamensing product Sam Tropiano, he knew that social interactions and sporting opportunities would offer intense enjoyment yet came to discover difficulty in fostering his academic existence. “There was a huge jump in going from grade school to high school,� Bergmann said of his tremulous transition. “I started to think Penn Charter wasn’t the school for me.� He used ample encouragement from his tight-knit clan and circle of friends to guide his ascension, with the repetition of his sophomore year an instrumental 9S\\g 0S`U[O\\ 8` V]^Sa VWa aeO\ a]\U QO[^OWU\a Ob EWZZWO[ >S\\ component of his progression.
