y now you’ve seen the maps, maybe even the one that’s a comical spoof full of dragons, lava and moats, that depict the
shutdowns and closures expected for Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia late next month.
The closures and gates are of grave concern to many Philadelphians — it seems the number one trending topic of casual discussion across the city. Many non-Catholics are planning to
flee the city and many will rent their houses and apartments to visiting families. Some folks may have to stay in their homes indefinitely and some may sleep on cots at their place of employment due to closures of In-terstate 76, 676 and the Ben Franklin Bridge.
In an open letter in the Daily News via Will Bunch’s Attytood column, he titled it “An open letter to Mayor Nutter: You. Are. Screwing. This. Up.” Mayor Michael A. Nutter even responded the following day with a letter to the paper entitled “Fran plan
going just fine.” Many locals are cry-ing poor information dissemination from City Hall and panicking about the Friday-to-Monday stretch, Sept. 25 to 28, and how it will affect their lives.
The South Philly Review reached out to the Archdiocese of Philadel-phia, who, in concert with the World Meeting of Families, is encouraging Philadelphians to see the excitement and grandeur of a papal visit that no one else in America will experience quite like ours.

“In the City of Broth-erly Love, kindness shouldn’t be a stretch, and even though it’s a nice idea, I don’t think it will make much of a difference.”
Christian Eager, 2400 block of South
Rosewood Street
“We’re not kind enough in Philadelphia, that’s for sure, because it’s pretty tough out here at times. However, with enough planning, this could be a fantastic occasion.”
LaVarr Gordon, Southwest Philadelphia
“It’s absolutely neces-sary. We often become too focused on our own problems and forget to show concern for our neighbors.”
Mike Carpino, 2100 block of South
Broad Street
To the Editor:Let’s face the facts. Donald Trump pro-
vides comic relief in the presidential race and that’s it (“Backing the Trump card,” Aug. 13). He is an embarrassment and a joke. There is no way on God’s green earth that the Republican Party will nomi-nate him. Can anyone really envision him in a meeting with national leaders to dis-cuss nuclear weapons?
For some reason, which defies logic, Mr.
Trump thinks that he is the perfect candi-date for the Republican Party. Obviously, he enjoys hearing the sound of his own voice. I must admit that I watched only 30 minutes of the Fox debate to check on Mr. Trump’s entertainment value. Sadly, my expectations were set too high.
Hillary Clinton will have the last laugh.
To the Editor:While reading Frank Cavallaro’s gush-
ing letter about his “true savior” Donald Trump (“Backing the Trump card,” Aug. 13), I was not sure if he was happy that Trump had some really good plans for the country, or that he was just enjoying the headaches that the Donald is causing the Republicans.
It seems that Trump’s biggest asset, ac-cording to Frank, is that he “cannot and will not be bought and paid for” like all the other “trash.” Well, on that score, Frank has a point. A billionaire like Trump does not need a Super PAC to finance his run for president; he keeps bragging that he is his own man. I guess when your net worth is close to $9 billion, you can dismiss the campaign donations.
I am not sure I agree with Frank, howev-er, that being obscenely wealthy, (Trump has a gold-plated toilet in his private jet) is the best criterion for governing a na-tion where the median income is around $54,000. Nor how well a bombastic, ego-tistic personality is perceived by the rest of the world.

t 9:58 a.m. Monday, the primary of-fender walked into Castro Grocery Store, 1500 S. 15th St., and told the worker she left her welfare card in-
side the store a few days ago, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Divi-sion said. The complainant confided he did not know the whereabouts of the item and showed her video of the day in question.
The woman began to argue with him, and she and her accomplice punched him and threw food items at him. Taking approxi-mately $250 from the cash register, they proceeded to ransack the store and fled in an unknown direction.
The victim described both as black, 20 to 30 years old and 5-foot-6. The first susopect was 180 pounds and short-haired. She also wore a black T-shirt. The other offender was 150 pounds and light-complected. She wore a dark blue shirt.

Police arrested a local woman who supposedly swiped a cell phone from a Bel-la Vista business.
At 5 p.m. Aug. 9, surveillance video inside Ba Le Bakery, 606 Washington Ave.,
captured the image of the woman as she slipped inside her purse a cell phone that another customer had left behind. The suspect then fled the area in an unknown direction.
An investigation revealed the female made a purchase after the incident, al-lowing authorities to determine her iden-tification. On Aug. 13, having tracked the phone to the 1300 block of South Grove Street, they recovered the gadget within a residence and arrested Nancy Duong. They charged the 53-year-old, who re-ceived a release on her own recognizance and awaits an Aug. 25 status hearing, with theft by unlawful taking and receiving sto-
len property.
A burglary in Point Breeze has authori-ties searching for two men whose heist in-cluded the swiping of a gun.
Responding to a radio call on the 1600 block of South 21st Street at 12:45 a.m. Saturday, they met with the complainant, learning he had found his living room in disarray upon arriving 15 minutes earlier, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South De-tective Division said. He noticed his poker case open, desk drawers pulled out and his gun box left open, with a firearm and two empty magazines missing.
Checking the rest of the abode, he ob-served the back door kicked in and upon further inspection, he also reported two de-signer watches, a Smart Wheel and medica-tion missing.
He described the offenders that he saw fleeing as male, with the first possibly be-ing Asian; having a thin build and tattoos on both forearms; and wearing a white T-shirt, the same color hat and light pants; and the second as possibly Asian; having a thin build; and wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans.

A Lower Moyamensing homeowner had items confiscated from her residence.
Officer ventured to the 2200 block of South Rosewood Street at 4:19 p.m. Aug. 12 and learned from the occupant she had secured her house at approximately 10 a.m. that day before leaving, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Return-ing at 4:10 p.m., she discovered someone had forced open her front door, finding the frame resting on the floor. She also noticed the offender(s) had swiped jewelry and a firearm.

Three men combined to assault another male in East Passyunk Crossing.
Responding to the 1700 block of South Seventh Street at 3 p.m. Aug. 5, authorities observed the complainant unresponsive on the highway with blood coming from his face, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They met with a witness who told them two unknown Hispanic males hit the complainant, who received transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, with their fists while a black male held him up. They then rushed off down Tasker Street. The observer de-scribed the Hispanics as 16 to 20 years old and wearing white T-shirts with pos-sible red shorts and the black male as being within the same age range; being shirtless; and wearing black pants.

Video surveillance captured the image of a man responsible for a South of South theft.
The male entered Entree BYOB, 1608 South St., at 12:40
a.m. July 26 and, after consulting with his companion, agreed to look after her posses-sions. While the female used the restroom, he made off with her purse, fleeing in an un-known direction.

A phony customer scored $140 in the rob-bing of a Girard Estate business.
Police met with an employee of The Phila-delphia Pretzel Factory, 2125 Oregon Ave., at 9 a.m. Sunday and learned the offender had come into the establishment to ask for two pretzels, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Turning to retrieve the requests, the worker had a gun aimed at him, with the wielder demanding cash.
The complainant placed his hands in the air, leaving the aggressor free to take the dough and run across a parking lot toward 22nd Street. The uninjured figure described the suspect as black, 20 to 30 years old, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8 and 150 to 160 pounds; having short hair and a goatee; and wearing a black
T-shirt and a similarly colored book bag. Call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text

Police are searching for at least two men who pulled off a home invasion in Dickinson Square West.
Authorities ventured to an abode on the 1500 block of South Marshall Street at 12:40 a.m. Aug. 3 and met with the occupants, with the female telling them she observed an un-known light coming from downstairs, Detec-tive Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Divi-sion said. Having yelled to the other resident, who was sleeping in the front bedroom, that someone was in the house, she ran into the bathroom upon hearing voices calling for money.
A male adorned in a ski mask and toting a long black gun removed her from the space and placed her in the rear bedroom with her hands tied behind her back and a bag placed over her head. The woman’s yelling woke the other inhabitant, who met with another in-truder holding a silver gun and also wearing a ski mask. He also had his hands tied and a bag placed over his head, with the intruders asking several times to reveal the location of cash and guns.
Ransacking the house, they took cash, a wallet, a pocketbook, cell phones and a silver Strauer men’s watch before fleeing in an un-known direction.
Because of the masks, the complainants could not provide a detailed description of the suspects.

Authorities charged a New Jersey man with the April 2014 attempted arson of a Queen Village space.
On Friday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobac-co, Firearms and Explosives, in conjunction with the Philadelphia Police and Fire depart-ments, announced the arrest of Chad Dodge, of Mullica Hill, alleging that on April 14, ’14, the 35-year-old tried to set ablaze a building at 752 S. Fourth St., U.S. Attorney spokes-woman Patty Hartman said. The entity also contends he knowingly and willingly made a materially false statement to a special agent by stating he had never handled the timing device found at the address.
If convicted on all accounts, Dodge faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison with a statutory maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, plus two years of supervised release, a fine of up to $500,000 and a $200 special assessment.

Review Intern
ure, classrooms may be the logi-cal environment and normal way of teaching things in school. However, what if that space extended out to
the schoolyard and included comfortable benches where students could experience a scenic, outdoor learning environment?
Well, at the Marconi-based F. Amadee Bregy Elementary School, 1700 Bigler St., this is no longer a what-if thought thanks to the recent efforts of 17-year-old Jarod Roman, who spent the month of Au-gust building benches for his Eagle Scout project. The resident of the 1700 block of West Passyunk Avenue worked at the garden by building seating and repainting a map of the United States located in the schoolyard.
Roman, who is a member of Troop 176, which is based at Old Pine Presbyterian Church, drew inspiration on this project through his scoutmaster, Karen O’Hara, who is a teacher at Bregy. She told him about the few benches in the garden and how she would like to teach classes out-side if she had more space to do so.
Roman was excited to use the skills he acquired during his years as a Boy Scout to help his community, particularly the students at the public school, to improve the neighborhood overall.
Roman’s additions to the garden were met with positive reactions. In particu-
lar, his scoutmaster was excited about the project’s completion because she will use the benches to teach classes outside.
Families in the community are also hap-py about Roman’s work on the benches and reviving the United States map.
“A few families came over to check out the project. They seemed happy,” Alexan-dra Roman, the scout’s mother, said.
With the teenager’s project complete, he rose to the rank of an Eagle Scout at a cer-emony held on Saturday.
Roman has been a Boy Scout for 10 years. His mother recalls getting a flyer for the Boy Scouts of America when her offspring was in the first grade. She said she “believed that it was a wonderful orga-nization for boys,” and so Roman joined.
Now that he has completed his project, the ambitious individual shared some words of encouragement for his fellow scouts.
“It takes a lot of commitment, but they should stick with it. Their hard work will pay off,” he said.

involve multi-city stops — they’re not everyday events. They are special and his-toric.
“When one views the Papal itinerary, it becomes clear that Philadelphia is where the Pope will have a Pastoral focus. Our city is the place where he will touch the face of humanity.”
What many Philadelphians do not or re-fuse to acknowledge is that the Pope’s vis-it is actually the culmination of a massive international World Meeting of Families, which has had only seven iterations since Pope John Paul II conceived of the trav-eling celebrations in 1992. It has drawn massive crowds in Rome, Italy (1994 and 2000), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1997), Manila, Phillipines (’03), Valencia, Spain (’06), Mexico City (’09), and Milan, Italy (’12). Philadelphia gets the distinction of being the first domestic destination for the Pope. The WMOF Congress will take place primarily at the Pennsylvania Con-vention Center, Sept. 22 to 25, and feature adult and youth speakers, workshops, and, in addition to the papal mass, features a Festival of Families on the Parkway on Sept. 26.
“We’re very grateful to all of our part-ners at the city, state, and federal level who have been working hard to ensure that everyone who comes to Philadelphia will have an enjoyable and safe experi-ence,” Gavin reports. “Life will be dif-ferent for 72 hours, but this is a transfor-mative event of historic proportions. It’s a moment of great pride for the city and the region. It’s not a question of being ex-treme. That’s a false perception. There is a delicate balance that needs to be achieved with crowds of the anticipated size. Peo-ple tend to view things myopically, and that isn’t helpful.
“In order to grasp the big picture, you need to take a look at everything. We want enjoyable events that provide for safety for our visitors as well as the Holy Father. The security plans and perimeters have all been announced at this point so people have plenty of time to make their plans. We hope many will plan on joining us.”
GOOGLING ALL THE facts about the “traffic box” is advisable. But a few quick facts: the “box” will run from the Delaware River to 38th Street in University City, the southern border will be South Street, while the northern edge runs along Girard Av-enue, down Ridge and runs along Spring Garden Street to the Delaware; vehicles within the Center City “box” will be able to operate so long as they stay within the box — once you leave you can’t re-enter; Interstate 95 will remain open with many exits closed off; the Ben Franklin Bridge will close at 10 p.m. Friday and reopen at noon on Monday; bicyclists and pedes-
trians will be able to move in and out of the box as they please; many businesses will not be able to receive deliveries and various institutions have been announcing closures on Thursday, Friday, and even Monday. SEPTA services are nearly com-pletely altered to accommodate thousands of visitors coming in from the suburbs and will not run regular service in Center City.
In Nutter’s letter, his list of coordinat-ing entities is staggering. He wrote: “The city of Philadelphia is part of a team made up of the World Meeting of Families, the commonwealth and many of its agen-cies: the Governor’s office; PennDOT the Pennsylvania National Guard; the Pennsylvania State Police; Department of Health and Human Services; Emer-gency Management; the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; the U.S. Secret Service; and the full range of city depart-ments from police and fire, to emergency management, streets and L&I; other agen-
cies like DRPA, Amtrak, SEPTA, PATCO, NJ Transit, the Philadelphia Parking Au-thority; the counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery and [more].”
Part of the excitement, of course, is the actual Pope that’s paying us a visit.
“Pope Francis has certainly radiated a charisma that’s resonated with people from around the world. When he speaks, everyone seems to listen whether they are Catholic, of another faith tradition, or of not faith traditional at all. It’s been commonly referred to as ‘The Francis Ef-fect,’” Gavin said. “We’re currently on track to be the biggest gathering in the history of the World Meeting of Fami-lies. We already have double the number of registrants Milan experienced in 2012, have more exhibitors than projected, and expect about 5,000 to 7,000 journalists to be in town with us for the week.”
Gavin and the Archdiocese encourage optimism, not defeatism.
“We can defeat ourselves by giving into the anxieties and worries that go along with any major effort like this … as we get closer to September 22, there’s always a temptation to focus on possible chal-lenges involving security, logistics and transportation,” he said. “Pope Francis is one of the most popular and magnetic world leaders in the past century. His visit here is an irreplaceable moment in his-tory … But we need to win that spirit by welcoming him with our presence and our personal involvement, not just our words. And we can do that best by joining him here in the city on Independence Mall, at the Festival of Families, and on the park-way for his Sunday Mass. It’s worth it. It will be spectacular. [And] everything will culminate with the visit of the Holy Fa-ther, and there is no better way to wrap up the week!”

Review Managing Ed itor
urning 31 today, Karina Balfour con-siders this stretch of her life a cap-tivating call to experience personal and professional growth. The East
Passyunk Crossing dweller has two won-derful allies in her endeavors, Stephen, her husband of six years, and the theater. With her mate as her primary backer, she will derive delight from the latter helper tonight
through Aug. 30 by playing Beatrice, a verbally potent component of “Much Ado About Nothing.”
“I have a young look, so that tends to come up with casting,” the performer said from her home on the 900 block of Mc-Clellan Street. “I know, though, that I’m transitioning to a more mature period in all areas, so I’m definitely thrilled about hav-
ing this part because there is so much meat to her.”
Balfour is chewing on her task through The Mechanical Theater, aiding the enti-ty’s relationship with The Philadelphia So-ciety for the Preservation of Landmarks by performing at the Old City-situated Powel House. With a witty and clever disposition, her character has kept audiences charmed
since William Shakespeare penned the play in the late 1590s.
“She is confident and cool,” the actress said of the figure, whom she deemed her-self as “shocked, scared and excited” to portray, having originally felt more suit-ed to embody Hero, her younger cousin. “I’ve thought, ‘Wow, I wish I could be like this in real life.’”
Balfour noted that talks with director Josh Hitchens and their combined research yielded awareness that though she might always seem composed, Beatrice actually uses her gifts with diction to cloak her vulnerability, especially with respect to her relationship with Benedick. She and the overseer have decided to focus heavily on the paramours’ history, but no matter the interpretation, the actress cherishes the chance to tab this production her first pro-fessional Shakespearean assignment.
“He’s unmatched,” Balfour beamed of the Bard, whom Revolution Shakespeare, under Queen Village resident Griffin Stan-ton-Ameisen, tabbed her to tout through February’s salon style offering Love’s La-bours’ Won 2.0. “This is one of his most treasured comedies, so what’s not to love about this opportunity?”
THE THREE-YEAR SOUTH Philly presence has fostered the feeling-fortunate mind-set since her days as a California-reared youth. She received parental encourage-ment to nourish numerous interests, with her 10-year-old turn in “The Secret Gar-den” intensifying stage-based hopes.
“Theater struck me as a safe place to go,” Balfour recalled. “There are aspects of it that can make someone feel it’s a hard lifestyle to pursue, and that’s somewhat so because it can be detrimental to one’s self-esteem because of all the pressure and rejection, but for its ability to help people to be able to stand up and speak, I see it as a lifelong benefit that can help in many disciplines.”
Upon completing high school in Stock-ton, she could not classify theater as her dominant diversion, as she yearned to be-come an animal trainer, with work on Hol-lywood films as her desired cat’s meow. Plays ultimately triumphed through her matriculation at California State Univer-sity, Fresno, where she realized she should dread not what might come from a career in the arts but what she could miss by not following her heart. Enthusiasm for educating led to a master’s in acting peda-gogy from the University of Alabama, at-
tendance at which prompted investigation into a Philadelphia-centered career.
“Stephen ended up accepted to medical school at [Thomas] Jefferson [University] Hospital, so I researched the city for op-portunities,” Balfour said. “Ever since our arrival, I’ve stuck to my belief in letting doors open and following them.”
That willingness has engendered edu-cational rewards, with Rowan University and Community College of Philadelphia as employers, the latter through which she encourages Shakespearean appreciation by teaching “The Merchant of Venice,” and theatrical thrills, with Balfour par-ticularly proud of experiences with South Philly peers.
“This line of work inspires collaboration and curiosity, and those become even more enriching when you’re with a great circle of supportive friends,” she said. “We’re all living another life for a bit, but in so do-ing, we’re empowering one another.”
Fervor for her field has also helped the insightful hire to seek diversity within her roles, with classical, new and devised works appealing to her like a Shakespear-ean soliloquy would an attention seeker. She has begun to build solid relationships with Delaware and Pennsylvania outfits,
including the South Philly abundant Tribe of Fools; The Renegade Company; and EgoPo Classic Theater Co., for whom she will star in March’s “The Women.” She has enjoyed a three-year stint assisting Happy Hour Live Productions’ “Bye Bye Liver,” an element of next month’s FringeArts Festival, and instructs waltz, tango, salsa and swing through Dancing with the Stu-dents, yet another brainchild teeming with South Philly-situated contributors. Unlike Beatrice, whose confident countenance conceals parts of her personality, Balfour basks in revealing enduring smiles, with opening night commencing on her birth-day bringing added joy, and anticipates that as her age increases, so too will her regard for her lot in life.
“I’d like to think we’re all evolving,” she said. “For me, that definitely means being aware not only of my identity but that of others, too. Acting is a great way to appre-ciate who comes into our lives.” SPR

teroids can make you happy. Steroids, even in small doses, takes away my sleep. ... Getting treated for illness. Terrible on yet another level. The doctor forces you
to self-analyze. Every symptom you feel is magnified. Forced to worry about yourself ob-sessively to the exclusion of others, something at which most of us selfish human beings are already experts. ... Kaleidoscope of thoughts race by. Some important. Some not. ...
Why is it in our city that sanitation workers hate SEPTA drivers so much? You see it every trash day. A sanitation truck deliberately blocks a bus from moving forward even when there is a space in which to pull in. It’s a strange one-sided “war.” The sanitation workers cast an im-pudent glance back at the bus driver, who stoi-cally stares into space. ...
One thing you can say about Donald Trump. He has shown a viable way to beat the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson under our evis-cerated campaign finance laws: With your own money. With all the nonsensical bluster, Trump’s truth is that big money can’t buy him. ...
Is it possible that every time I select an item from a restaurant menu, it winds up being the server’s absolute favorite? The server isn’t pitching the item, I’ve already ordered it! And insecure fool that I am, I find that I need the server’s affirmation of my good taste. Does that make me a weak person? ...
This Pope visit is really getting out of hand. The City’s draconian security measures are stirring Philadelphia’s ire. It’s a good thing that Francis is so universally loved — except maybe for ultra conservative Catholics who are required by Church law to suffer him in silence. Instead of the anger turning on the Pope, which would have been most unfortunate, it has turned on our mayor, an all-time expert at shrugging off criticism. It’s become a lose-lose proposi-tion for Michael Nutter. If something terrible happens during the papal visit, folks will won-der with that inconvenience, we still had an in-cident? If the Pope’s visit goes off smoothly, the natural conclusion will be the mayor and his security experts overreacted. In either case, our mayor, whose ambitions appear to exceed the confines of City Hall, will get tainted. ...
A thought about side effects. It’s great we get all the information about possible side effects from big pharma, but it comes with a price. No, not the inflated price of the package. The men-tal cost. The more info you get, the more you
worry. Are you any different from me? After I read the list of possible side effects, I swear I have all of them the next day, ...
The media loves the attention Trump brings, but it definitely needs a fresh face. And along comes Carly Fiorino. She was declared the winner of the undercard of the Republican de-bate on Fox. About 18 million FEWER view-ers watched Fiorino stand out among the lower ranked tier than did the Trump circus that fol-lowed. Fiorino’s role as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard will be a key issue in whether her can-didacy is real or just her 15 minutes of fame. She got fired and plenty of workers had to file for unemployment during her time. Lost in the glitter of her rising candidacy is a statement she made on one of the Sunday news shows recently. She is against mandated family leave. Not against family leave, she assures us. Just MANDATED family leave. She does not think employers should be told how to run their busi-nesses.
The free market just works fine. Points to the recent decision by Netflix to implement family leave for its employees because that’s the way you compete in the free market and attract good employees. Right out of the conservative text-book. Government never has to protect workers because the free market assures that employers will always do the right thing. Really? While laudable, Netflix’s family leave policy only cov-ers its highly skilled workers. The folks mailing out your videos to you? Nada. Only 12 percent of all American employees get any kind of fam-ily leave. So Fiorino’s version of the wonders of the free market works only for the well-paid while all the rest can go pound sand...
Here is another thing that bugs me about the side effects of chemo. You can get mouth sores from the stuff. Mouth sores? It’s like someone was tasked with lumping all the most detestable side effects in chemo and threw in mouth sores as the cherry on top. How did they miss prickly heat? ...
If the Republican Congress is able to prevent the president’s deal with Iran from passing, it will be the most stunning defeat handed to an American president since Woodrow Wilson and his League of Nations. I still have not heard anyone offer a reasonable alternative. ...
I just found out steroids can sometimes make you feel happier than you really are. Take a deep breath. Am I really happy with my life, or is it the steroids? Do I care? Should I care?
I agree with those who claim you should nev-er go to bed angry because you will not be able to sleep. That was until my wife discovered the real estate show on The Travel Channel. Fran is already asleep. A couple is shopping for an island as their second home. The price tag is $3.5 million, and he says it’s under budget ... zzzzzzzz.

he best recipes transcend generations. Tom Spychalski, of the 1600 block of South 16th Street, agrees, with one of his favorites being his mother’s Summer Greek Macaroni Salad. This dish combines all the fresh seasonal flavors into one delec-
table treat and is perfect for summer barbecues. The Point Breeze inhabitant says that he has fond memories of his matriarch making
this cookout hit and that it holds up well in the refrigerator, tasting even better on the second or third day; that is, of course, if it lasts that long!

Reach more patrons by advertising in the pages of the South Philly Review!
The South Philly Review will be presenting the Pizza Olympics event a little differently this year. Instead of each participating pizza parlor or restaurant traveling off premise to give out samples of
their signature pies, we will be bringing the people directly to them!!!
No more worrying about having enough staff to work the event table and going through hundreds of pizza boxes and other products. For the fi rst time ever we will be selling Pizza Certifi cates, which will entitle the purchaser to sample one slice of pizza from each of the participating shops, then they will vote for their favorites in the following categories: Best Crust, Most Creative, Veggie, White and Overall Favorite. So now, the people will come to your location, during your regular business hours, from 9/10 through 9/30 only.
When they come in for their free slice of pizza, you will mark and initial over your store name on the certifi cate, limiting them to just the one slice. Most visitors to your store should purchase a drink or other food products, and hopefully become a customer for life!
To kick-start the event, The South Philly Review will run a special Pizza Olympics pull-out section in the September 10th Issue, highlighting the participating parlors and restaurants and explaining the new format for this year’s event. Winners will be announced in the 10/15 Issue. Also, a portion of all Pizza Certifi cate sales will benefi t area schools!
To participate in the 7th Annual Pizza Olympics, just purchase an ad
in the special 9/10 issue and then sit back and let the new customers come directly to you!
For more info or to reserve your space, contact your sales rep or call 215-336-2500 ext. 129 today!
Your favorite pizza eating event is back again for it’s 7th installment, but with a bit of a twist this time.

knew something was “different” as soon as I walked into Santucci’s on a cold early spring evening. “Where are Bob-by’s homemade desserts and delicious
breads?” As I took a seat near the black-board, I noticed the only special was a pasta in a vodka blush sauce with salmon.
Several weeks later, I read this innovative and talented individual was moving on to become the executive chef at Opa, a Cen-ter City-based Greek restaurant that opened a few years ago. After spending time in Greece developing a new menu and train-ing his staff, Saritsoglou took the helm about four months ago.
Opa is a casual space with large, open win-dows, even thought it was 90 degrees out-side, a large center bar, polished wood tables set with white china and blue and white nap-kins.
There are small plates (mezedes), mid-sized plates and entrees. Each entree is large enough for two people.
A server brought us a plate of phyllo that was deep-fried to a crisp golden hue and properly salted. I never indulged in anything like this before.
From the mezedes, we selected dolmades ($10). I have sampled stuffed grape leaves in many Eastern Mediterranean restaurants. They are usually stuffed with rice and served cold. This version was filled with seasoned beef and ground walnuts and served hot.
Warm pita, nestled on a board, arrived with the spreads. Melitzanosalata ($7) was charred eggplant, the flesh scooped from its skin, and served cool. The skin was pureed with lemon juice and was a true surprise. It was not one bit bitter. I am going to try this at home. Skordalia ($7) is a staple in many Greek restaurants. Opa’s version was redo-lent with garlic and almonds.
Saritsoglou. who resides in South Philly, bakes all his breads at the restaurant. From the dakos (barley toast), we opted for grilled sardines ($6) simply because they are among my favorite starters. Meaty marinated sar-dines were grilled and placed on barley toast with small, sweet slices of heirloom toma-toes. They were so darn delicious that I could have enjoyed another order.
We decided to split the fisherman ($17) because it was a new dish for us. Strands of homemade egg pasta were bathed in a spicy white wine olive oil sauce and topped with meaty Gulf shrimp, clams in their shell and sea urchin. Deep coral-colored sea urchin
just made this dish.The meat board ($28) and rabbit ($25) en-
trees are unusual. Both were served on large round, wooden boards. A beautifully sea-soned burger, nestled on an heirloom tomato slice, is deemed to become a signature dish. A small piece of juicy roast organic chicken, homemade sausages with a touch of fennel and two skewers of beef rounded out this extraordinary entrée. I also liked the sliced cool crisp watermelon radishes included on the board.
One bite of the rabbit was a true indicator that Saritsoglou is a brilliant chef who takes risks. The rabbit pieces spent some time in buttermilk, were coated in crumbs and deep- fried to perfection. The homemade coleslaw imparted a slightly tart lemon flavor that I really liked. A wedge of sweet watermelon was included on the board. Two different homemade breads were also a first for me. One was a long, thin, warm, narrow baguette dusted with zatar, a herb and spice mix, and the other was a round bread, which resem-bled a thin chewy bagel, topped with black and white sesame seeds.
All of the wines are Greek. Our server helped us to select a glass of Little White Prince ($10) that was similar in flavor to a buttery chardonnay while a glass of Klima Red ($13) was akin to a Merlot.
Do not miss the shredded halava that was brimming with honey and honey ice cream.
Four tips of the toque to Opa.

he expression “Good things come to those who wait” can prove annoy-ing for numerous reasons, with the sheer indeterminate duration of the
delay registering as especially vexing. For Daoud and Said Ouladdaoud, two years passed before they could claim Stadium Pizza & Grill, 2400 S. 10th St., as their own, and thanks to their patience and pro-visions, the brothers have fashioned a fine relationship with local diners since 2010 and aspire to establish more accord with each endeavor.
“We love this community and have great respect for the customers,” Daoud, 50, said from the siblings’ Lower Moyamensing-situated eatery. “Every time we make something, our pride is evident.”
Upon assuming control of the space, he and his 42-year-old co-owner worked hard to rejuvenate its reputation as a reli-able neighborhood establishment. The Al-gerian-born figures and Delaware County residents did so by tweaking the menu and infusing the operation with their vibrant personalities.
“We have many offerings that reflect our passion and that also show we are not above listening to critiques,” Said said to a nod from Daoud. “There is such diversity in South Philly, so we know it’s important to try to appeal to everyone.”
The cohorts have won acclaim for their variety and vigilance, with Daoud beam-ing of a call in which an elderly Italian woman prone to pronouncing pride over her creations said their pasta topped even
hers. Doughy delights comprise 22 Sta-dium Pizza & Grill menu items, with Said agreeing to share their Gnocchi with Broc-coli Rabe in Blush Sauce recipe.
“We’re seeing more demand in the com-munity for it,” he said of the dish, which readers can revise by replacing the gnoc-chi with ravioli. “Our goal is to satisfy these customers. We know they love pizza, and, of course, that’s in our name, but we like to be about much more than that. This gnocchi is a great example of that.”
Use standard preparation to cook the gnocchi. As the pasta cooks, combine the garlic and olive oil in a saucepan, and cook for up to four minutes.
Add the marinara, bring to a bubble and simmer for up to seven minutes.
Fry the broccoli rabe, add the heavy cream and stir all of the contents together to craft the blush sauce. Pour the mixture over the gnocchi, and finish with the grat-ed cheese.

Review Staff Writer
o say that there are many res-taurants thriving and opening in South Philly is an understate-ment. We seem to be a haven for
them, especially along East Passyunk Avenue and its fringe. Eateries that thrive in Fishtown, Center City and West Philly have realized that they want in on the action, too. With clos-ing and opening news flying on a weekly basis, we decided a roundup was in order.
Coeur, 824 S. Eighth St., may be one of the biggest and most-antici-pated newbies. The husband and wife team of Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida, along with partner Brendan Kelly and chef Andy Tessier, is ready to bring its family of restaurants be-low South Street. The couple, owners of Memphis Taproom, Local 44 and Strangelove’s, recently said good-bye to the late (but great) Resurrec-tion Ale House, and will open a spot called Clarkville around the corner from Local 44 this fall, as well.
“This isn’t tip-toeing! We’re hitting
the boards hard and opening with a 125-seat monster,” Maida said. “There is something special in the air here at Coeur. We’re all very very ex-cited to unleash it on the unsuspect-ing public. If everything goes accord-ing to plan, we’ll open on Sept. 15.”
She and Hartranft have two chil-dren and live in Fairmount, with the husband having just overcome lym-phoma and chemotherapy.
“A lot of the inspiration for Coeur came from reading cookbooks dur-ing chemo,” Hartranft said. “When I got done with chemo, Leigh and I
went up to Montreal and drank a lot of burgundy and had a great time — we were really struck by the acces-sibility.”
With some sentimentality, (the name of the restaurant translates to “Heart” in French) he says they want “to establish the idea that the most important ingredient in the room is time with one another.”
“Let’s call Coeur semi-French, French by way of Montreal,” Maida added.

Review Managing Ed itor
ne cannot contemplate competition without looking at loss, but while many consider that concept a nega-tive, when the topic includes part-
ing with pounds to enhance performance, Dino Cattai can count himself an advocate of being fine with falling. Having dropped 65 pounds ahead of his senior year at St. Joseph’s Preparatory School, the resident of the 1600 block of West Moyamensing Avenue enjoyed a stellar campaign on the baseball field that he will use as a springboard in commencing his journey at Chestnut Hill College.
“I admire the program so much al-ready,” the 18-year-old said Tuesday from his Marconi home. “I think I’ll mesh very well with everyone and make some amaz-ing experiences.”
Cattai confided that the Northwest Philly institution “came out of nowhere” in pursuing him and that the process came together quickly, leading to his late-winter decision to become a Griffin. In heading to the member of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, he con-tinues the facility’s commendable record of securing South Philadelphia contribu-tors, with Girard Estate’s Dom Raia hav-ing just concluded his lauded career and Marconi’s Michael Borelli and Point Breeze’s Demetrius Isaac hoping for hits once February arrives.
“Everyone is very up front with ev-erything,” Cattai said of personnel at the Division II location. “It’s comforting to know that I’ll be going from one great program to another.”
A June graduate of The Prep, the teenager benefited from his newfound devotion to fitness to help the Hawks to a 9-3 mark in the Catholic League and a
semifinal playoff appearance, where they fell to Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St. Not-ing that “something didn’t click” with the club in his junior year, he felt determined to guarantee their restoration as a formidable foe, which they had proven to be in his sophomore year, advancing to the final versus La Salle College High School.
“I really w a n t -ed to do my best to m a k e a difference,” Cattai, who took on a new identity as an out-fielder, having helmed first and third bases, said. “I had interest in becoming an all-around player, and that’s a desire that I’m going to take with me to Chestnut Hill.”
HAILING FROM AN ath-letic clan, the young man found sports undeniably appealing and joined his first squad, a T-ball team at the Delaware Val-ley Youth Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St., at age 4. Football also scored some at-tention, but as a
seventh-grader at St. Richard School, now St. Pio Catholic Regional School,
1826 Pollock St., Cattai decided to fo-cus entirely on baseball, a decision that
h e feels enhanced his appreciation for how much dedication some-
one must give to anything to be good at it.
“I was definitely passionate about it
and committed to becom-ing better,” the dedicated figure, who remained a
DVYAA presence for years before align-ing himself with the Tri-State Arsenal and
Mid-Atlantic Show t rave l un i t s , sa id .
“Looking back, I know I’ve had many great influ-
ences along the way.”Discussions with friends
about their high school destinations resulted in ponder ing Neumann-Goretti, The Prep and Roman Catholic as his
stop, with family history inspiring the selection
of his North Philly-based alma mater. With no one from St. Richard’s elect-ing to become a Hawk, he faced the challenge of
knowing no-body upon his arrival, bu t w i t h an acute
brain and a desire for distinction on the field, he made adjustments and yearned to further the school’s academic prowess and athletic renown.
“I didn’t know what to expect right away,” Cattai said of his freshman year, which saw him win a junior varsity roster spot. “I applied myself and hoped for more opportunities as I gained experi-ence.”
The next two years yielded highs and lows, and as senior year approached, he knew he must improve his physique to enhance his chances of being even more potent, with a training facility finding him extending himself for up to seven hours each day.
“We had great camaraderie and wanted to play with conviction every time out there,” Cattai said of his mates, who con-test their home games at Richie Ashburn Field, 20th Street and Pattison Avenue. “My concentration was there all year long, and that paid off.”
Scoring First-Team All-Catholic kudos, he definitely helped to return the Hawks to the discussion on league heavyweights and graduated with the belief that similar approaches to having individual aims morph into team goals will breed a very prosperous stint at Chestnut Hill College.
“I’m going there with a ton of anticipa-tion,” Cattai, who will move in tomorrow and start classes on Monday, said of the quick commute. “I’m really going to be dedicated to my academics, too, because that’s something I also value, being a good student.”
The English literature major would like to have journalism help to pen his future, with coaching his beloved sport as an-other craving.
“I can’t give up this game, and I’ve even thought I’ll be 40 and playing in a men’s league,” Cattai said with a laugh. “It’s given me so much, and I can’t wait to head to Chestnut Hill College and start a new chapter.” SPR
