South Street, many able-bodied local residents knew they could simply walk from South Philly the Benjamin Franklin Parkway with relative ease. I did it myself on Sunday afternoon, walking from my home on the 1600 block of Latona Street to East

telling him that I would be trying to witness the Sunday Mass. Passing through the Pub on Passyunk East, 1501 E. Passyunk Ave., block party on the 1100 block of Dickinson Street, which was sparsely attended, I wandered toward City Hall to as-

locals, travelers and T-shirt sellers. Strangers asked each other ‘Is the Pope coming this way?’ and everyone said they hoped so. It was also audibly and clearly discussed that the entrance to the non-ticketed Parkway ASS >/>/: D7A7B ^OUS ,,

To the Readers: I am an emotional guy! When I learned in August of my earning a credential for last Saturday’s Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul-situated Mass, I was a jubilant gent and knew the excitement would build as the date approached. With a 4 a.m. arrival time at the Pennsylvania Convention Center as my fate, yours truly, well aware of SEPTA’s limited service and taxis’ restrictions, walked more than three miles to receive my pass, all the time thinking “Wow, I’m tired but inspired!�

Rhyme time continued just before 10:30, as Pope Francis heard a mix of “ooohs,� “aaahs� and “He’s here� cries upon his entrance, and I, still very sleepy, became overwhelmingly weepy, too. What an aura surrounds this man! Gazing from my choir loft space, I ate up every word from the pontiff, no matter if it came via English, Latin or Spanish. As a lifelong Catholic, I know that humans are flawed conduits of the divine, and the Holy Father, who constantly asked for prayers from his flock, is as fal-

lible as you and me. The glaring difference between us and him? Perspective. While we often see our imperfections as excuses to chide ourselves, he wants us to consider them reminders that resolve will always trump surrender. No matter one’s belief system, his visit encouraged the expression of humility and generosity, which South Philadelphians have long practiced and sought to share with loved ones; therefore, may we all further encourage individual growth and mutual maturation now that Pope Francis has left our soil, tears optional. 8]aS^V ;gS`a A]cbV >VWZZg @SdWSe SRWb]`

“Neighborhoods have so many problems, so I hope parents come to take better care of their kids and be more active in their lives instead of letting them wander and do whatever.� Rose Lawrence, Third and Jackson streets

To the Editor: As many were in town this weekend for the Papal Visit, I chose to stay in South Philly and show my support for the men and women of the 2nd Battalion, 112th Infantry (Stryker) Division that kept us safe. I drove from the Naval Base to South Street twice a day on my motorcycle, making it a point to thank each serviceman and servicewoman and making sure they knew how much respect I have for them. I would bring food and drink to them and even ran a few personal errands on their behalf. When not on my bike, I was camped out at Broad and Wolf streets for 14 hours each day. While there, I met a ton of people whom I am now proud to call my friends. Staff Sergeant Butler even asked if there were any way I could get the word out to the neighbors of South Philly and let them know that every gesture of kindness was so greatly appreciated, so that is why I decided to write this letter. I have never, ever been more proud of being from South Philly as I was last weekend. Watching person after person, since Thursday evening until 9 p.m. Sunday, bringing bought and homemade “I hope people take the pope’s message to heart and try to be nicer and get along with one another better. Francis is a down-to-earth man, and what he says is simple but powerful.� Karen Weikel, Third Street and Snyder Avenue

meals, coffee and other drinks and seeing the soldiers’ reactions were something I will remember my entire life. Methodist Hospital had employees bringing meals out all day long, too, and they also wanted to thank them as well as all the other businesses who assisted. Ladies and gentlemen of South Philly, you have done this city proud, and I could not be any happier. Things may not always be great down here, but in times like this, we shine! Once again, huge thanks for the 2nd Battalion, 112th Infantry (Strykers) Division of the Army National Guard, and from them to us, thank you for showing them love and respect, and they all can’t wait to visit this great city again. 8W[ @WUUW] A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

Great article, Tom! Very insightful... (“Here Comes the Pope,� Sept. 24) Like you, I’m betting the Geator will somehow see the Pope and have a conversation with him. Like your “Uncle Nunzio,� I’m hoping this is an extended “good week� for you.� BS``g 2S:cQO 0`S\aW\US` dWO a]cbV^VWZZg`SdWSe Q][

Is it really necessary to turn such a beautiful thing as the Pope coming to Philly & the world meeting of families into a festival (“Here Comes the Pope,� Sept. 24)? Do we really need all this entertainment? ;WRUS 3\`WQ] 1O`ca] dWO TOQSP]]Y Q][

t 8:05 p.m. Saturday, police responded to the Rising Sun Grocery Market, 2348 S. Seventh St., for a report of a person with a weapon, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They learned the complainant had been inside the establishment eating dinner when someone started to engage him in an argument about keys to a truck. After the individual supposedly struck the man in the face with what he described as a long police flashlight, the injured party called law enforcement agents, who arranged for transport to Methodist Hospital, with personnel treating him for a fractured left cheek. On Monday, detectives returned to the location to obtain surveillance footage of the incident, having learned from the complainant that the aggressor was familiar to him through other alteractions. The victim also ventured to the business that day and told authorities he had observed the figure on Seventh and Sheridan streets, Tolliver said. Police went to that intersection and detained Khen Ly, of West Philly, whom the complainant identified as his attacker. They charged the 53-year-old with simple and aggravated assault, harassment and possession of an instrument of crime.

5:30 p.m. Saturday, authorities learned of a pedestrian-struck-by-auto incident at the same location. They met with the complainant and learned that after he had made a delivery on the 2600 block of South 16th Street, he observed the offender backing his vehicle up 16th Street to Oregon Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant ran after his own vehicle and as he stood in front of it, the other motorist hit the gas and struck him, leading him to be thrown 10 feet. Having struck his head on the pavement and suffering a laceration, the victim, who received transport to Penn Presbyterian for treatment, observed the assailant proceed westbound on Oregon Avenue toward 20th Street. Police in the vicinity noticed a black Hyundai Sonata with tinted windows traveling westbound on West Passyunk Avenue and began to tail it, with the driver speeding up as he headed northbound on 24th Street. They gave pursuit but lost him in the area of the 2600 block of McKean Street. Peers observed the crashed automobile on the 1900 block of South 30th Street and could not detain the criminal as he ran from it. They described him as black, in his early 20s and 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-8; having a dark complexion and a beard; and wearing a red hoodie and black pants. They added he may be nursing an injury from slamming into a brick wall. Call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice. com/forms.

hoods to tend to the woes. With regards to potholes, it would be great if they never materialized. I am sure there are some supergeeks who would love to keep track of ground pressure and other concepts about which I know absolutely nothing. ;]`S RWTTS`S\QS [OYS`a( I am not advocating that everyone look to do Nobel Prize-worthy deeds. As you will see in the South Philly Review’s Oct. 8 Fall Guide issue, our neighborhoods have many “ordinary� people who realize the value of giving of themselves. Let us heed their example, and work to better the lives of others. Yours will benefit, too. ;]`S ^WhhO ^ZOQSa( Through the South Philly Review’s Pizza Olympics celebrations, loyal readers have no doubt learned over the last seven years that the area contains a reputable amount of establishments. Who sees anything wrong with making us not only the greenest city in America but the cheesiest, too? 4SeS` QVWZR`S\ VO\UW\U ]cb( I hope I do not sound like a grump at 36 years old, but I have REALLY come to dislike the large groups of teenagers who love to make their noisy presence known late at night on street corners and in playgrounds. One need not be Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to know that we must teach our children well. Be their friend, sure, but not their enablers. :Saa \]WaS( This one is in conjunction with its predecessor. I know that I live in the city and that I should move to a monastery or enroll to become a mime if I want constant quiet, but, wow, it seems we contend for every Guinness Book of World Records entry relating to sound every day. :Saa XcRU[S\b( I, like many of you, I presume, have often been the judge, jury and executioner of many folks in South Philly. Has having taken on those roles made me happy? Have those titles delighted you? I also know people acted as those to you, and that is why my number one choice is... ;]`S Z]dS( Familial, romantic or friendship-based, love resonates. South Philadelphians have a reputation for being vibrant, emotional people, and our abundant supply of love reinforces that perception. I “love� the idea of working a tad harder to give devotion its due. +(*

ell, Pope Francis has left the United States, but he has definitely not fallen prey to the “Out of sight, out of mind� idiom. In fact, I have encountered many people whose fervor for the Holy Father and his message has increased since his Sunday departure, and that thrills me! Many people have pointed out the Eagles’ first win came on the day of the Papal Mass and have posited that the pontiff’s visit will ensure a playoff berth for the Birds. I am going to leave that subject alone! However, since the victory and the visit have inspired such positivity among South Philadelphians, I have thought of 10 other blessings that we could use. ;]`S ^O`YW\U( This is the eternal issue among many residents, right? Everyone knows that South Philly is a beautiful place to inspect, but after four or five times around the block or through investigations of spaces that are one or two blocks away (Oh, the humanity!), that attraction turns into agitation. ;]`S ^O`Ya O\R ^ZOg U`]c\Ra( Yes, we already have a great number of these, but since so many people had a few days off because of the Papal Visit, I am expecting a slew of pregnancies and deliveries next summer. Where are all those extra citizens going to have their initial samples of life? ;]`S ZWP`O`WSa( The nerd in me called for this.

t’s an understatement to say the Delaware River waterfront has been vastly improving, and rapidly, over the last five years. Closer to Center and Old City, projects like the Race Street Pier and the FringeArts building across the street, Spruce Street Harbor Park, and a PennDot project that facilitates pedestrians’ connection from Second Street to the waterfront, came as a result of an early major push from the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation and its partners. It’s starting to pay off in dividends. This afternoon sees the ribbon-cutting of Pier 68, a gorgeous new pier park that’s peculiarly situated on the edge of a Walmart parking lot, the newest jewel in an ongoing effort to bring Philadelphians valuable park and green spaces. It has stunning design features from Studio Bryan Hanes, a landscape design firm responsible for Sister Cities Park tasked with taking on the much-hyped Reading Viaduct project, and boasts nearly a halfacre of leisure space. Specifically, Hanes’ team had the duty of creating an opportunity for folks to fish, one that’s achieved with a specifically-designated fishing area at the end of the 390-foot long and 60-foot wide pier. “The only guideline that the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation [DRWC] gave us was that there needed to be an opportunity to fish. There’s an active fishing community around the site in South Philly,� Hanes said. “Other than that, it was a lot of outreach and engagement with the community, talking to them about what their remembrances of the waterfront, as a working waterfront, were. Their dads and grandfathers used to go down to the waterfront everyday.� He’s referring to a series of meetings that took place over the last two years in Pennsport and Dickinson Square. “I think a lot of people were excited because it was a place that meant something to them,� he said. Everything from ferries to immigration stations to sugar refineries used to populate the river’s edge. Now the DRWC is slowly but surely gobbling up land with

to do the permanent improvements� from Pier 68 and points south all the way up to Penn Treaty Park in Fishtown. “We’ve got the money and the design – we just have to close on the last� pieces of property the DRWC is actively securing to make it all connect smoothly. “In 2012, we had the opportunity to acquire this pier and three others from the Delaware Associates,� DRWC project manager Lizzie Woods said. “Pier 68 was in the best shape and needed the least amount of effort to make it a usable public space,� she says, and work began on the park early last year. Even though it was in relatively good shape, they still needed to AbcRW] 0`gO\ 6O\Sa P`]cUVb Sf^S`bWaS T`][ RSaWU\W\U AWabS` 1WbWSa >O`Y dump all kinds of money into improving b] bVS bVS >S\\a^]`b ^WS` BVS EWZ[W\Ub]\ 23 POaSR 1VOZZS\US >`] the substructure, which lasted for about U`O[ PcWZb bVSaS RWabW\Qb PZcS O\R eVWbS eOdS PS\QVSa three months starting this March. “The R e n d e r i n g P r o v i d e d b y S t u d i o B r ya n H a n e s , P h o t o P r o v i d e d b y D RW C outer edge, the nose, had actually collapsed, so we had to demolish the old sea wall and cart away old concrete and build a new sea wall.� Now it features an entrance deck with blue-and-white-painted poles and repurposed maritime bollards that transports observers away from the Walmart parking lot. A tree canopy ushers them into a new, naturalized park setting, an angled lawn encourages lounging and sun-bathing, and picnic tables and unique wave-inspired benches provide seating. But perhaps the most unique and dazzling design decision is the 4.5-foot-deep Aquatic Cut. “I haven’t heard of any other place the help of funders and support from ing up at 205 Race St., and 250 units are where this has been done.

Once it was obvious that the Pope wouldn’t be coming down JFK, as we saw him coasting in his Popemobile on a Jumbotron next to the Surburban Station building, I opted for a seat on the ground of South Broad St. beside the Kimmel Center. There were screens along Broad at City Hall, on Sansom Street, and at Lombard in addition to the set-up at Locust Street. It was a distinctly international experience with faithful from Mexico, Costa Rica, Vietnam and Canada within earshot. Spirits seemed high and a brother/sisterhood was in the air, especially during the peace offering when I was generously kissed on the cheek, hugged and shook hands with folks from around the world. The message of the Mass was clearly about love, specifically love in the family. Pope Francis continues to focus more on love, peace, poverty, welcoming immigrants of all stripes, and environmentalism than anything else. As I walked home through Graduate Hospital, bands of parishioners from all over the world strolled in groups up and down the streets that led to the Parkway. Chanting, clapping, playing guitars and horns and holding signs, it was another reminder that, for at least 48 hours, Philadelphia welcomed peaceful prayers from all over the globe (and, perhaps as a surprise to some, seems to have done so without any logistical catastrophes). Save for poor business in many service sector jobs, many South Philadelphians rejoiced over empty and bike-friendly streets and an un-

ALONG WITH APPEALING to adults enamored with the thought of a revitalized Catholic Church, Pope Francis has won plaudits from youths all over the world. South Philadelphia has proven a devout source of regard for the pontiff, and its younger residents have eagerly made known that once their elders have passed, they will surely promote the tenets of their faith. “He is the successor of Saint Peter and the Vicar of Christ, and he looks to guide us with every word and action,� 19-yearold Danny Amadio said. “Having him among us, no matter how short the duration, will have lasting effects for me and other believers.�

The native of the 1300 block of Ritner Street is preparing for the priesthood at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, which hosted the Holy Father over the weekend. Already enthused about having him among his fellow future priests, Amadio received an additional blessing a week before the visit, as he won the assignment of being the pope’s miter bearer. “My faith is immensely crucial to my identity,� the graduate of Ss. NeumannGoretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., said. “Having the opportunity to assist at the Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is an experience to treasure forever.� The Lower Moyamensing product earned ample praise through his Facebook page

His providence was in full effect for me the entire time.� Six years Amadio’s junior, Antonio Melillo served as a volunteer for the weekend’s festivities, bolstering not only his regard for the city but also intensifying his grasp for the responsibilities of younger Catholics to be active in promoting the Gospel. “Pope Francis wants us to practice acceptance and forgiveness,� the resident of the 1600 block of South Camac Street said of the pontiff’s appeal to the global family. “He also loves children and wants us to grow as believers. I want to be a voice for that.� The eighth grader at St. Anthony of Padua Regional Catholic School, 913 Pierce St., found his duties compelling and expressed delight over knowing that Pope Francis will continue to inspire his peers and over accepting that he and those contemporaries will need to usher others to the fullness of God’s love. “People are getting along and I think they’ll continue to do so,� the East Passyunk Crossing dweller said. “Because of one man and one festival, life is going to improve for millions of people.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117 or Editor Joe Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

o matter how often peers and patrons praise her performances, Geneviève Perrier will always tab as “a beautiful mysteryâ€? any attempt to decide what she feels helps her to offer consummate portrayals. Enamored with exploring the enigma, the 41-year-old is embodying a figure who derived similar delight from delving into uncertainty by playing Dr. Rosalind Franklin, the English chemist whose efforts to identify the structure of DNA propel Lantern Theater Co.’s “Photograph 51.â€? “This is definitely the most fulfilling thing I’ve done in years,â€? the thespian said at St. Stephen’s Theater, host of the Philadelphia premiere through Oct. 11. “She was a woman of so much integrity, and I feel that

anyone can look at her story and relate to having huge obstacles yet persevering through them.� The Dickinson Square West inhabitant is celebrating her sixth turn in a Lantern production, with this task finding her addressing sexism and a touch of antiSemitism owing to Franklin’s Jewish faith. The scientist, whose work with student Raymond Gosling at the London-situated King’s College yielded the title image, an X-ray diffraction picture responsible for enhancing knowledge of the DNA molecule, has merited respect for the gravity of her work, but Perrier also looks to laud just how committed she became to measuring criticism and countering it with aplomb.

B?<;IJOB;I “She knew the value of wanting people to hear us and appreciate us,� the actress said of the pioneer whom ovarian cancer claimed at age 37 in 1958. “That’s especially vital as a woman, and she pulled it off despite a few naysayers.� Because of her death, Franklin could not fully reap the benefits that she and colleagues Maurice Wilkins, James Watson and Francis Crick, with South Philly’s Harry Smith playing the final role, deserved for their diligence. The play by Anna Ziegler provides audiences with an exploration of her vulnerability, with Perrier marking that characteristic as a key in understanding her humanity. “She definitely possessed an abundance of courage,� the performer, who has dedicated her involvement to her grandmother, who survived the Holocaust and became a biologist, surmised. “There’s such intensity to her character and because I have the honor of conveying that, I find this is my hardest assignment and therefore my most important one so far.� With a script that gave her goose bumps upon her second inspection, Perrier contends that at the heart of the piece, one can discern the need for belief in personal

principles as a means to bolster the integrity of communal constructs. With 10 days left until she and her castmates take their final bows, she hopes each of her outings will tout the timelessness of resolution. “Rejection is a part of most walks of life,� she said, noting its presence within science and theater as particularly strong. “You have to know that you can push through that with enough practice. Look at Rosalind Franklin as a great example. Titles aside, it’s always beneficial to be persistent.� PERRIER MOST EARNESTLY acquired an introduction to her focus-fueled field as a sophomore at Friends Select School. Having begun as a dancer, she christened stages as the most comfort-inducing sources of expression and matriculated at the Tisch School of the Arts through New York University. “I wonder what my life would have been like had I not been accepted,� Perrier said with a laugh since the Empire State location was the lone site to which she applied. “Actually, though, it’s all worked out pretty well.� Following the death of her brother, the

Philadelphia native refrained from performing for two years, with her father, Georges Perrier, of Le Bec-Fin fame, giving her a job. Rekindling her resolve, she determined to see what her hometown might bear and has come to consider herself fortunate to have found so many amazingly talented and supportive contemporaries. “I’ve always wanted to put myself in the right position to have opportunities,� Perrier said. “In Philadelphia, the interpersonal relationships are incredible, and everyone has such interest in watching great art come to life.� Wanting to work in a number of fields and through a multitude of forms, she has won enviable chances to express her skills, yet she has never pinpointed what prompts her output. “I find myself growing more mature when I hear feedback from my peers,� she divulged. “I don’t really know what pulls me to theater, but I hope nothing ever pulls me away.� Theater buffs should nourish similar desires, as Perrier, also a much-respected Rowan University adjunct professor, has proven a hit with their ilk and critics,

capturing two Barrymore Awards. As her current endeavor deals with DNA and therefore genes, one cannot help but to consider how she and husband Dave Johnson, a Barrymore-nominated performer who will next appear in the Walnut Street Theatre’s “Shipwrecked! An Entertainment - The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (as Told by Himself),� are dealing with discussions of life, as they became parents earlier this year, marked one year as South Philly dwellers on Monday and will celebrate their third wedding anniversary this month. “My heart is bigger now that I’m a mother,� Perrier said of her approach, with “Photograph 51� signaling her return to the stage. “I’m definitely a better actor now that we have a daughter, and as we go forward in our careers, we are excited not only to grow professionally but also to evolve emotionally.� SPR Call 215-829-0395, or visit lanterntheater.org.

something really worthwhile. You figure that a guy that deliberate and with “Dr.� in front of his name must be saying something insightful. Wrong. Dr. Carson is like one of those old tape machines playing at the wrong speed spewing ideas such as prison can turn you gay. Is Trump right? Do we really need a highenergy person as President? Republicans seem to think that Ronald Reagan was that guy, but especially in his second term, Reagan nodded off more than I do trying to watch “Dancing with the Stars.� Dwight D. Eisenhower was a good president, but he loved the golf course almost as much as Obama (and golf is not the sport of your high-energy folks). The last great highenergy Republican in the White House was Teddy Roosevelt, and he took it out mostly on wild animals and Cubans at San Juan Hill. George H. W. Bush was a decidedly better president than his high energy son, George W. Who knows? If George W. Bush had taken a deep breath after 9/11 instead of attacking Iraq, is there anyone out there besides Dick Cheney who thinks the world would not be a better place? One might question whether a man with a damaged heart such as Cheney could summon high energy. It is an open secret that Cheney was hooked up to his car battery charger all during his tenure as Vice President. It came in handy during the winter months when someone’s car stalled in the White House parking lot. One of Cheney’s unsung virtues was he would often give a car a charge without thought to the possible damage he was inflicting on himself. The man was selfless. In case you have not noticed, cans containing energy drinks are not resealable; thus, you are encouraged to drink the entire can at one time. In the case of a 32-ounce Monster energy drink, that’s 320 milligrams of caffeine. Toxicity is only about 100 milligrams above that total, so a couple of cups of coffee earlier in the day could put the average person over the top. So far, the feds have looked the other way, maybe in hopes that the national level of productivity will go up. Many of the energy drinks are consumed by our younger people. Gearing up for finals, grab a couple of cases of Red Bull, and study all night. What is more likely to happen increasingly in the future is that instead of higher productivity, some of our children will begin exhibiting the warning signs of a heart attack. But hey, it is all in the name of not being that low-energy nerd that drags down every party, or, in the case of the race to receive your party’s nomination for president, is not cast off as being too “low energy.� Instead of Jeb trying to deny that he is the low-energy guy, maybe he ought to try embracing it. SPR

onald Trump might be interested to know that he did not invent the phrase “low energy.� Years ago, a former program director told me I had to go from low energy to high energy hosting our pre-game Eagles show. I remember not understanding what it was he expected me to do - the same conundrum as Jeb Bush wondering what it is that Trump and his poll numbers are telling him. Turns out that in my case, the boss wanted me to scream out the call letters and act as if I was excited about drunks in the parking lot yelling ‘GO EAGLES!!!� I do not know if any of that helps you, Jeb, but know that I have some sympathy for your dilemma. President Obama himself has been characterized as lacking in energy by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, although she is too sophisticated to be caught using any term employed by Trump. Dowd likes to play psychoanalyst to our presidents in the apparent belief that it is their personalities more than their policies that impact their governing. She would have had a ball with Abraham Lincoln, who told jokes and somehow was depressed at the same time (although come to think of it, anyone married to Mary Todd, who went on wild spending sprees, might have found reason to get depressed). It seems everyone these days has a low energy problem. Maybe Jeb could start gulping one of the many energy drinks on the market like so many Americans, but, then again, I’m not so sure they are effective. Do you notice anyone who is more industrious at work because he or she just gulped a can of Monster? When I worked for the federal government, there were many energy drinks available in the soda vending machines. And the offerings that were not marketed as energy drinks (except for bottles of purified water) all contained caffeine. I did not exactly notice our place turn into a beehive of activity. In fact, the only way our place would have become such is if they hired real bees. The only effect I saw from drinking an energy drink at one’s workplace was that instead of sleeping at the desk, that person had enough energy to walk to the vending machine and buy an energy drink. Jeb is not the only low-energy candidate. Ben Carson speaks so slowly that someComment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ times he tricks us into thinking he has said cardella.

he recent Papal Visit has encouraged many locals to appreciate the world’s diversity, but that message need not apply only to dealings with human beings. Variety, as the saying goes, is the spice of life, so while everyone is touting acknowledgment of the colors of the global family, be like Mildred Lloyd-Henderson, and support meals with abundant hues, too. Through her Vegetable Pasta Salad, the resident of the 2400 block of Manton Street loads her concoction with a rainbow of rewards, with her customary amount of tender loving care in preparing the dish ensuring that the cold treat will prove a warm addition to your days. Consider serving it when finally introducing yourself to that new neighbor or making peace with a foe. With four to six servings possible, who would doubt that the Point Breeze dweller’s offering would prove anything other than divine? +(*

ifteen years ago, Stephen Vassalluzzo left his position as a physics professor at Temple University to open Caffe Casta Diva on South 20th Street. I reviewed this BYOB gem when it opened and felt a return visit was in order. We brought a fine Verdicchio and a Barberra, settled in and quickly realized why I enjoyed my meal a decade and a half ago. The walls are painted in warm colors, which does much to aid in the appetite. Homemade bread, soft butter and olive oil arrived, and I quickly got “big eyes.� I wanted to sample every dish on the menu. My antipasto ($12) consisted of a whole roasted baby artichoke with artichoke puree and sliced cool radishes bathed in a warm sauce prepared with white wine, lemon juice and whole cloves of garlic that turned sweet during the roasting time. The dish was topped with Pecorino Toscano. The Caesar salad offering ($9) was prepared with cool crisp romaine leaves (not a rusty one on the plate), homemade croutons, which did not overwhelm the dish, white anchovies and shards of Parmigiano-Reggiano. The dressing was creamy and lemony and clung to each lettuce leaf. The addition of white anchovies was a tasty culinary tour de force. I had never seen trofie on a restaurant menu. Our server told us they are small twisted pasta, and to me, they looked like bite-size pieces of licorice. My half portion ($10.50) arrived redolent of wild mushrooms, walnuts and shards of Pecorino and had a heady truffle oil topping. With this in life, nothing is bad. Walnut sauces are popular in Milan, and this version did not disappoint. It was simply inspiring to me. The trofie, which were homemade, were properly cooked. A half portion of cinghiale ($10.50) consisted of homemade noodles a bit larger than pappardelle. It was topped with braised wild boar, one of my favorite pasta sauces, shiitake mushrooms, sweet cipolini and bits of crisp polenta. Like the trofie, this pasta was simple inspiration. I had never tried them before, but Vassalluzzo instinctively knows how to create

the unusual and include ingredients that enhance each dish. Now that autumn has arrived, entrees prepared with rich ingredients are on the menu. This pleases me. Fall and winter are my favorite seasons for cooking and dining in restaurants. Peking duck breast ($26) was cooked medium-rare and was quite tender. Sweet potato gnocchi played beautifully with roasted root vegetables, the whole dish bathed in a port reduction with the right touch of cherries. I am thinking of calling Vassalluzzo to ask if I can have the recipe for the sauce. Short ribs ($30) are now back on the menu. This version consisted of one large boneless short rib that had been braised for hours in a red wine sauce. The addition of creamy risotto was a fine contrast in tastes and textures. Like the bread and pasta, desserts are homemade. I rarely order tiramisu because it is rarely done well. This one ($7) was made with small lady fingers that were dipped into espresso, layered with mascarpone and topped with bittersweet chocolate shavings. The ladyfingers were not a bit soggy, which is often the case in other locations. A poached pear ($7) is the spirit of fall. I detected a bit of cinnamon and enjoyed the pairing with rich vanilla gelato. The lighting in the cash-only location is perfect, as is the print on the menu and the description of each dish. If you have never been to Caffe Casta Diva, now is the time to book a table. Four tips of the toque to Caffe Casta Diva. +(*

rue to his Mexican roots, Alberto Sandoval has always valued food not only as a source of sustenance but also as a conduit for companionship. Anyone who engages with the 40-year-old for even a few minutes will notice his commitment to quality execution and presentation, with patrons of Amigos Bakery, 2327 S. 12th St., the fortunate finders of his gifts and gregariousness. “I always wish to become a better creator because I want to be on the table for families,� the proprietor said from his 18-month-old Lower Moyamensingsituated space. “I am always learning because of the diversity behind what people want.� The Point Breeze inhabitant has fraternized with South Philly dwellers for nearly two decades, with employment at various local baking enterprises enticing him to consider establishing his own business identity. Having honed his dream for at least 15 years, he decided “This is my chance� in April 2014 and loves his enhanced role as an amigo to residents and a chum for their hunger. “I grew up exposed to farming, so when I think about baking, I consider it an extension of the care that was necessary all those years ago.� Also enamored with cooking, Sandoval confided that baking holds a slight edge and that his attention to his craft makes the activity seem like a pastime and not a job. Part of that comes from knowing that his creations often end up as celebration helpers, with the location’s Tres Leches Cake a huge request. “People want something sweet for occasions, and this is popular for just that,� the owner said of the sponge cake, which

readers should perfect by icing the finished product and adorning it with fruit, preferably strawberries. “I remember that it’s always what I wanted for my birthday, so I’d love for everyone to taste it to see what their opinion is.� Hailing from a compact village, Sandoval can claim that his bakery’s surrounding area also offers a tight-knit feel and holds that aside from being a hawker of goods, he wants to be a sharer of dreams. “Everyone is so kind in this very safe area,� he said. “I like knowing that I can somehow make their lives a bit better once they walk in.�

especially endearing to Margo as a mother and a teacher. “Kurt and I love that the kids have a welcoming community and that they’re having wonderful experiences in the game,� she said. “They’ve been at it for some time, and, from our point of view, they’re better people because of those adventures.� “I definitely love the physical play,� Spencer said of a choice component of his seven-year tenure as a practitioner. “I love it all, though; it’s fun and I have my family to support me and play with, too.�

THE WUNDERS HOLD their patriarch as the progenitor of their hockey odyssey, as the Hatboro native played on ponds as a child. He proved his dedication to the diversion by helping to start a team at his high school and has gone on to add coaching expertise to his rĂŠsumĂŠ, even helming a team whose roster included his descendants. “It’s such a compelling sport and a great inspiration for anybody who wants more discipline,â€?

ev. Patrick Peyton opined in 1947 that “The family that prays together stays together.� Replacing the initial verb with “plays,� the Wunder clan has strengthened its ties through hockey, with the four members of the 800-blockof-Wharton-Street-situated household combining enhanced skills and unwavering wills to ice any challenges to their enjoyment and betterment. “I love being able to share this sport with these knuckleheads,� Margo Wunder said Monday at Rizzo Rink, 1101 S. Front St., to laughs from husbands Kurt and their offspring, Georgia and Spencer. “Especially for the kids, this really helps them to mature and receive exposure to discipline and diversity.� The Passyunk Square-based foursome has made the Pennsport facility its hub, using numerous offerings and a relationship with the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation, 3601 S. Broad St., to increase their comprehension of what Kurt calls the pastime’s “very specific skill set� and to foster a sense of togetherness. Sharing wisdom and wit, they encourage mutual growth and consistent appreciation for the opportunities that hockey can yield. “It requires great discipline and a willingness to learn,� Georgia, a freshman at Central High School, said of her five-year journey. “It took me some time to have a solid understanding of everything, and now that I have that, I want to get better each day because I want to play college hockey.� The 14-year-old and her 12-year-old sibling, a seventh grader at William M. Meredith School, 725 S. Fifth St., are harnessing their hockey potential through two Rizzo clubs and a Snider offering, the latter a favorite for Georgia because of its assistance in helping participants to evolve academically. That element of their involvement with hockey has proven

every part of this game.� His bride, a product of Newtown Square, gained interest in the sport through her father, who grew up playing the game in Wisconsin. When attending a Washington Capitals contest with her dad, Margo remarked that she felt the next person whom she would date would be a hockey fan. “And there I was,� Kurt said, smiling. When the two, set to celebrate 15 years as wedded partners in January, met, they could not have known they would rear a pair of hockey-obsessed heirs, but now, as the proud parents of committed and ambitious progeny, they cherish every practice, game and tournament, with Georgia and Spencer likewise enthralled. “They’re very supportive,� the older dynamo said. “Every step of the way, we know they’re going to be there for us.� “They give us different perspectives on how we’re performing and how we can improve,� Spencer added. “That makes us want to do better for ourselves and to help our teammates.� The youngsters have acquired such competence that they earned a junior coaching opportunity at Rizzo through Snider, an endowment that left Spencer particularly pleased, as constituents needed to tab him “coach� during the instruction period. The older Wunders have sampled glory, too, as Kurt and Margo likewise lace up their skates, with Margo, a former roller derby enthusiast, joining the jubilant journey toward hockey fulfillment. “It’s great to rely on them for help whenever we play,� Spencer, who aspires to be a professional and who was even so candid as to reveal which teams would be the best possible recipients of his drive, said of the biggest benefit of belonging to a quartet of fervent followers. “Hockey is strong in South Philly, and the residents here love to immerse themselves in it,� Kurt said of locals, who, a week from tonight, will root for the Flyers in their regular season opener in Tampa Bay. “It’s given us many memories, and being a part of a positive community has done wonders for the Wunders, pardon the pun.� SPR
