St. Anne’s Falcons Football Team Ready to Soar

Football is a rare sport that helps build leaders from a young age. This writer speaks from experience—years of playing football throughout my childhood helped develop me physically and emotionally. It directly aided in building character traits like lead-ership, perseverance and toughness, both mentally and physically. Jim Galasso is doing just that with a group of young men from the surrounding River Ward communities. Galasso is the head coach of the St. Anne’s Falcons Junior Varsity football team. The Falcons compete in the CYO Football league, a faith-based youth football league sponsored by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia that is open to all boys who are either enrolled in Catholic school or in CCD classes. Even though St. Anne’s school has been shut down in the wake of the recent downsizing of a number of Catholic schools in the area, the parish continues to sponsor a foot-ball team of 5th and 6th graders coming from Our

THE LOCAL LENS with Thom Nickelsby Thom Nickels

Thom Nickels is a

Philadelphia-based

author/journalist/poet, film critic

and feature writer for the Spirit Newspapers.

It’s almost Halloween and I’m sitting in Henri David’s living room on a small Victorian sofa. On the mantelpiece in front of me are two bronze drag-ons perched on globe-like foundations. Dragons are never pictured as happy creatures, and these mon-sters are no exceptions. On the floor a bust of Nefertiti catches my eye while directly above the mantle is an oil painting of Henri in a Salvador Dali-like setting. The house has the air of ruined aristocracy. In fact, you expect Madame Blavatsky and her crystal ball to walk in any moment and take a seat. Forty-five years ago Henri David, or Mr. Halloween, was a bearded, long haired hippie who liked to hang out with female imper-sonators. The imperson-ators took him under their wing and brought him to New York City where they showed him auditorium-sized drag balls. There were no large scale drag balls like this in Philadel-phia (Henri, of course, would later change that). Worse, when Halloween

came around, there were only private Philadelphia house parties and bars to frequent, but no glamor-ous Halloween balls. In 1968, Henri, al l dressed up for Halloween and with no place to go except to those isolated, private house parties and bars, decided it was time to do something big on his own. He knew right away that he had to start his own Halloween Ball tradition, so he went to the Phila-delphia Hotel at Broad and Race Streets and initiated the first big city ball. Preparation for the first event was tough. He printed flyers and pasted them himself to poles all over the city, in stark contrast to then popular counterculture posters calling for an end to the war in Vietnam. He had no money but still managed to pull it off. The next year the Hal-loween Ball went to The Drake on Spruce Street, after that to Town Hall at Broad and Race. “When it all started,” Henri tells me, “the Rit-tenhouse Square society ladies decided, ‘Ah, this is wonderful!’ This is like

a Masked Ball, like the old days!’” The society ladies (who frequented teas at the Barclay hotel) liked Henri and he was soon get-ting invites to their fancy cocktail parties where he says he met the likes of Fernanda Wanamaker and Hope Montgomery Scott (who lost the vision in one of her eyes when she tried uncorking a champagne bottle). Hobnobbing with the Social Register set didn’t stop him from posting flyers about the Miss Gay Phila-delphia contest, a drag ball that he organized and that no doubt helped him refine his Halloween skills. “For the Halloween Ball, I would always get the most glorious building I could afford with chandeliers and velvet curtains,” he says. Hotel managers, benevo-

lently suspicious saddled him with questions: “Why do you need a runway? Why don’t you want this set up like a wedding?” ‘”Think of it as fashion show,”’ Henri says he told them. “”I want everyone to be seen. This is a show. There’s got to be room for dancing, so I don’t want big tables all over the floor.’ “Philly used to be a drag town in those days,” he reminds me. “People would come from New York be-cause we had such beau-ties here. That changed in the 1980s when gay men started wearing 501s and desert boots and flannel shirts. They all went to that extreme to the point where you wanted to say, ‘Ease up a little bit.’ In those days it was politically incorrect to do drag.”

The new macho “con-struction worker” drag, Henri says, “changed ev-erything.” “I got fewer and fewer impersonators at the party but the costumes got better and better. It forced guys to say, ‘I can come as an Em-peror now without putting on a dress.’” Today, of course, the impersonators are back in force, but people come to the Ball dressed anyway they want. You can find Roman soldiers, zombie cowboys, bishops in tow-ering miters, Fifties girls, biker chic, mermaids, nuns in neon habits, vampire seductresses, hobo were-wolves, or people dressed as pizzas or boxes of Fran-zia and macaroni and cheese. “The 1970s were the ‘take-a-fag to lunch’ de-cade,” Henri says, smil-ing, recalling how one time Philly celebrities like Harry Jay Katz and Sam Rappaport would invite him to accompany them all over town. “Katz would make sure I went to every event that he did. Their attitude was, ‘Oh, Henri’s a little naugh-ty, he’ll do it with style, he won’t bare his full bottom. He’ll bring well dressed freaks and elegant freaks who would not grab your husband!’” In 1973, when the Ball was held at the Warwick Hotel—the same year that Philadelphia Magazine did a feature on the event—the area around the hotel ex-ploded with taxis, limos, streaming paparazzi, horse and carriages and even hearses that delivered fa-mous guests at the door. Henri recalls how Frank Rizzo, who was mayor then, “very graciously”, sent mounted police of-ficers to direct traffic. “I met with Mayor Rizzo once or twice face-to-face. He was from the old school

of Italian mentality where you don’t raid gay bars; you don’t bother gay events because you know where they are. If you raid them, gays scatter, and you’re going to have to find them again.” “Today at the Ba l l there’s a whole genera-tional change,” Henri says, “Whether people passed away, moved, or have got-ten too conservative, my army is no longer around. The people I grew up and came up with just don’t go out. Or they’ll come to the party at 9 and leave at 10.” But it’s the art students, he says, who are his new fans. “So many of them think I’m the bomb. They’ve fig-ured it out,” he says, “even if most of them might not be aware of the history of the Ball and how it used to be mainly a drag affair. But this cross pollination of sexual orientations is something that Henri rel-ishes. “I’ve always wanted that,” he says, despite the number of young female fans today who don’t rec-ognize him and approach him the night of the Ball and remark, “Oh that’s a fabulous costume. I hope you win something.” Perhaps it takes some maturity to put a “face” on history, but Henri is always there to teach the “newly” hip. He’s even “there” for his jewelry customers who come up to him in his shop and say, “Oh did you know that there’s another Henri David who puts on the Hal-loween Ball?” Then there are the people in the city who get Henri confused with John De Bella, the radio celebrity who throws his own, albeit smaller, Halloween party in Northern Liberties. “We’ll cross paths and he’ll tell me ‘I don’t look like you!’ and I’ll say, ‘I don’t look like you either!’” The Ball, of course, al-

You are all amazing friends that my brother is blessed to have in his life!

Betsy

HANDS ACROSS VERONICA –

See the Phat Ladies Sing!

HANDS ACROSS VERONICA, a biting comedy about women and their relationships to men, food and their bodies by Philadelphia playwright, Gin Hobbs, will have a newly staged production, Nov. 6 – 30 at Walking Fish Theatre, 2509 Frankford Avenue, Ticket prices are $20 and can be purchased through the Walking Fish website: http://www.walkingfishtheatre.com or at the door. In addition, every Wednesday of the run is pay-what-you-can. HANDS ACROSS VERONICA was first produced in Philadelphia by Theatre Catalyst /Eternal Spiral Project in 2003. Hi lar ious, irreverent and deeply poignant. The play fol lows the exercise routines, eating habits and love lives of a pair of best friends who strive for self-love at the gym, only to find heartache in their refrigerators. TALK BACK after the show: on Thurs., Nov. 14, 8PM with Jennifer Harrison of South Philly Wellness. Come join Jennifer and the cast, director and playwright to discuss Women and their Bodies—do women see themselves as they really are? •

ways attracts major celeb-rities who are performing at the casinos or at local theaters. They’ll come up to Henri, masked, lean over and whisper: ‘Guess who I am?’ Could it be Brad Pitt? Johnny Depp? Richard Gere? Nicole Kidman? As for the art of costum-ing, Henri suggests that if you want to come to the Ball, don’t fret, just go to your closet and take out something you never wear, something old or exotic and then build on that. “Get yourself out of your normal mode. Our door people are very lenient as to what constitutes a costume.” His worst fear, he says, confiding to me as we leave

the rustic Victorian setting, is staying too long at the fair. He does not want to become one of those tired old hacks who keep putting out a product when they should walk away and give it a rest. “If I reach that point, tell me,” he says. “Just tell me.” This year’s Halloween Ball on Sunday, October 31 (9PM) at the Sheraton City Center Hotel at 201 N. 17th Street will be the 45th for Henri. The must-see experience, the most outrageous costume party in the city, will be a place to feast your eyes and win a prize. As Henri says: “if you come you might run into long-time attendee Ed Rendell, so get on out and let your alter ego loose for the night.” Call Henri’s Halloween jewelry shop for tickets (215-732-7711). •

A good Dancer knows that the dance and the music come from the same place...

by Denise M. Krenski

In September of 2013, a new home for young dancers was born in Port Richmond. But, for its 22 year-old owner and opera-tor, this isn’t just a dance studio rather it is a place for young kids to find solace, friendship and do what it is that they love to do – dance, just like she did. Located at 3065 Rich-mond Street at the corner of Clearfield in a space that once housed a flower shop, Pearl Dance Studio is, in a sense, a replace-ment for owner Alexandria Karpin’s childhood home, the recently closed Chil-dren’s School of Perform-

ing Arts. “That’s where I danced for years and I didn’t really want to see it go.” To handle that loss, she did what any inspired young person would do, she opened her own studio. “I put so many years and so much effort into that studio. I didn’t want to lose that for myself and I didn’t want other kids and families to lose that either.” Luckily, Karpin wasn’t alone in her dream to open a studio. While the lease and business are in her name, it’s Karpin’s sup-portive parents, Anne and Stephen, who’ve helped her navigate the transi-tion from being a dancer to business owner. “I am very lucky to have great

parents.” They never questioned her ambition when she said this is what she wanted to do, despite her age and already over-loaded work and school schedule. “My dad said: ‘you got so much out of this and even if you get one student to get out of this what you did, then I am happy to support you.’” Her mom, an office manager by day, brings her managerial skills to the studio and ensures that there is always someone there to help the classes run smoothly. Even the teach-ers, whom Karpin knows from her previous school, are like family. But, it’s the naming of the studio that really cap-tures the essence of its owner. The name Pearl was coined by her four year-old niece, Scarlett, with whom she lives, be-cause she always referred to her as Aunt Pearl. “I

opened the business for her,” Karpin noted. “I will come home at 10PM and she will be up because she wanted to see her Aunt Pearl.” It’s then and there that a mini dance class will take place because Scarlett not only adores her aunt but loves to dance, too. For now, Karpin is thrilled with the turnout of stu-dents and class offerings. She already has 150 danc-ers attending classes. “I got lucky because the second I made the announcement that this was happening, it was all over facebook be-fore I even told my grand-mom.” While most of her students reside in Port Richmond or surrounding neighborhoods, some do come from the Northeast and parts of Jersey.

The Eagles fired Andy Reid. The Flyers canned Peter Laviolette just three games into the season and now reports are surfacing that Cheers Cafe in Port Richmond has given the ax to their controversial volleyball coach “Birthday” Jim after the second tournament loss to his team at the 2nd annual Babes vs Barflies volleyball game. It was a perfect day for volleyball on Saturday, October 19, when the gang from Cheers Cafe at Almond & Westmoreland Streets took to the courts at Glavin Playground for the V-ball showdown between their women’s volleyball team (a.k.a “the Barflies”) against the regulars at the bar (a.k.a. “the Babes”). Now in its second year of competition, Cheers Cafe owner Mark Cichonski, who owned the bar since 2000, said it would surely become a yearly event every fall. “It’s already become a tradition,” he said. “Look at this crowd.” You would think it was a Toby Keith concert with all the red solo cups in the hands of dozens of spectators as they watched the girls once again shut out the guys with a score of 16-14, 15-4 and 15-8. What started as a challenge last year has now become an annual event. On

Cheers Cafe Hosts 2nd Annual Babes VS BarfliesVolleyball Tournament

Thursday nights during the summer months, Cheers Cafe sponsors a women’s volleyball team that competes in the A&W League of Philadelphia Department of Parks & Recreation. “After every game the girls would go back to the bar across the street and have a few,” said volleyball player Katie Morton. “And the guys would either cheer us on or talk trash if we lost so we decided, why not challenge them to a game?” Morton and her team are now undefeated in the series which grows more popular every year. “It’s a lot of laughs and a lot of fun,” said Michele Mucerino of the event, who played volleyball for Cheers Cafe years ago and always came back to the bar afterwards. “Now I come out and watch my daughters and nieces play.” After the tourney, referee Edge Jaskowiak shook his head and said he never saw uglier legs than those of the men on the court that day. He vowed to drink away the image of excessive hair and dried and scabbed knobby knees at the Cheers Cafe after-party across the street where the girls’ team, “The Barflies” was once again awarded the trophy. (After the firing, Birthday Jim was rumored to be in Cheers basement crying in his pint of Schaefer.) •

CLEAN PLATE: Pumpkin Turkey Meatloaf

Casey Ann is a local foodie and blogger.Check out her recipes and reviews at www.cleanpl8.com

SEE ANSWERS ON PAGE 14

by Casey Ann Beck

‘Tis the season for pumpkin flavored every-thing. From baked goods like cookies, muffins and donuts, to beverages like coffee and beer, items infused with the festive orange squash are in-escapable. Once upon a time, pumpkins only expanded upon their role of smiling Halloween dé-cor into the world of pie; since palates have grown more sophisticated and experimental, thanks to celebrity chefs, Pinterest recipes and affordable, creative meals at hip res-taurants, people are more willing to incorporate it into things outside the realm of decorations, Thanksgiving dessert and scented candles.Pumpkin has even for-ayed into the world of savory recipes, like pastas, sauces and soups – and it’s a good thing, too: it’s high in fiber, beta-carotene and potassium. It’s even being used as a partial substitute for cream or cheese in au-tumnal pasta dishes, and can even be used in place of butter or oil in bak-ing, making for guilt-free

desserts and, no doubt, adding more flavor.The can of unsweetened pumpkin puree I was sav-ing for a special occasion came in handy last week when a light bulb went off and I figured out a way to pair it with one of my favorite dishes, mak-ing for a seasonal, festive touch. Pumpkin Turkey MeatloafPumpkin sauce1 tablespoon olive oil2 shallots, minced2 garlic cloves, minced1-1/3cup unsweetened pumpkin puree2-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1 tablespoon honey2 tablespoons molasses3 tablespoons grainy Di-jon mustard1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely choppedSalt and pepper to taste Meatloaf1 package (1.3 pounds) of ground turkey2 garlic cloves, minced1 shallot, minced1 tablespoon fresh rose-mary, minced1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs1 egg, beatenSalt and pepper

For the sauce, heat oil over medium heat and add garlic and shallots in a small sauce pot, letting cook for about 1 to 2 min-utes. Add pumpkin, vin-egar, honey, molasses and mustard and stir, reduc-ing heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasion-ally, for approximately 7 to 10 minutes, until mixture is hot. Remove from heat and stir in fresh sage and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with foil. In a bowl, combine all meatloaf ingredients and incorporate well with hands, until they are thor-oughly combined. Dump

meat mixture onto baking sheet and form into a loaf. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and add about ¼ cup of pumpkin sauce to top of loaf, spreading over surface. Place back in oven and repeat the pro-cess of adding 1/4 cup of pumpkin sauce every 15 minutes, approximately 3 more times, baking for a full 50 to 55 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted reads 165 de-grees. Remove from oven, slice and serve. Extra sauce can be served on the side. Meatloaf is on a lengthy yet varied list of things I could eat everyday and be perfectly happy. Its classic properties of simplicity

and comfort make it ap-pealing all year ‘round, any time of day; in fact, cold meatloaf sandwich-es, as leftovers, may be better than a hot entrée version. This variation didn’t make it that far, though, thanks in part to the savory pumpkin topping. Standard meat-loaves are blanketed with a sweet, tomato based sauce, and I cre-ated something similar with a pumpkin puree base. While there is a hint of sweetness from honey and molasses, the grainy mustard seasons the sauce with a robust flavor. The slight tang from the apple cider vinegar is reminiscent of the similar charac-teristics found in really tasty barbecue sauce, and fresh herbs, like sage and rosemary, manage to be apparent amidst the other strong yet evenly balanced flavors, adding another seasonal influ-ence. Although I tend to pass on the pumpkin lattes and scones, I love the savory side of the festive squash and am happy I just happened to have a can of pumpkin puree on hand, waiting to be used.•

The Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (PVVMF) has accepted

Philadelphia Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Receives $5,000 Donation from SugarHouse Casino

PVVMF check presentation. From L-R: Joe Rafter, SugarHouse Casino Community Relations; G. Sandy Bukowski, Board Member, PVVMF; Councilman Mark Squilla; Leigh Whitaker, Vice President of Communications, SugarHouse Casino; Terry Williamson, President, PVVMF; Dan Stevenson, External Affairs Executive, SugarHouse Casino.

a $5,000 donation from SugarHouse Casino for its project to open the Spruce

Street side of the Memo-rial to help deter vandal-ism and promote greater

awareness. The donation from Sug-arHouse marks the start

of an ongoing partnership between Philly’s casino and the PVVMF. “T he Vie tnam War may have been nearly 40 years ago, but the lives of the families who los t loved ones were changed forever,” Leigh Whitaker, vice president of communications at SugarHouse Casino, said. “As local heroes continue to risk their lives for our country every day, it is more important than ever that SugarHouse remem-bers the bravery of these individuals. Through the casino’s contribution to the PVVMF, we hope that we can help honor the memo-ries of Philadelphians lost in the Vietnam War.” The PVVMF launched their “Duty to Remember Campaign” in 2007 to refurbish the Memorial at Front and Spruce Streets and open the Wall of Scenes of the enclosed amphitheater to create direct access to the site from Spruce Street. The first phase of the campaign was completed in 2009,

which resulted in new paving, improved lighting, new flag poles and the refurbishment of the 646 names to reverse, in part, the ravages of weather and wear. The second phase involves the opening project, which would remove and replace the granite panels on the Wall of Scenes in a semicircle on each side of the opening. The entire campaign has raised nearly $900,000 in donations or commitments, but is still about $100,000 short to complete the second phase in its entirety by Memorial Day 2014. The PVVMF is extremely grateful for the support of SugarHouse, which once again demonstrates its community involvement by helping to fund this im-portant project to improve the Memorial and thereby honor the 646 Philadel-phians who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. For more information on the project, please visit www.pvvm.org.•

Lady of Port Richmond, Visitation, St. Laurentius, St. George’s, and other neighborhood Catholic schools. “The team is turning out well,” said Galasso, who helped start St. Anne’s football program back in 2006. “We have good kids. I have 24 players on JV, and 22 have never played football before.” Galasso and his young team are currently battling through a season with its share of ups and downs—the Falcons’ current re-cord stands at no wins, seven losses. However, it’s not about record book at this level—it’s more about sparking a special fire in these boys; a fire that can only be kindled by the hard hitting sport that is football. “Football teaches them responsibility, it teaches them how to come to-gether and play as a team,” said Galasso. “It’s not just one person—we have 11 people out on the field and if one person doesn’t do his job, the play isn’t going to work. You have to work together.” Assistant coach Gene Bryan couldn’t agree more with his head coach when it comes to their young team. “The team looks good, they are young and are having a lot of fun. The bottom line is that we teach the kids and not make it about wins and losses,” said Bryan. “This is some-thing (first time players) have never had, and that’s

a great feeling. And a lot of them are athletes who can play football.” It’s hard to argue that, es-pecially when you see this particular group take the field. On Saturday, Oct. 26, the Falcons had their annual homecoming game at Lighthouse Field against St. Matthew’s. Given the festivities of homecom-ing, the Falcons’ sideline was adorned with post-ers celebrating the team’s members and their com-mitment to the sport and to each other. One poster by Falcons player Eddie San-tiago, Jr. affectionately read “My First Football Team” under a team photo. While St. Anne’s would go on to lose that matchup, the boys played with pas-sion and will, never letting up despite the lopsided score. “It feels good to play foot-ball and hit,” said 10-year old Matthew Wnek. “It’s fun playing with my team, seeing them hit and learn-ing from them.” While the multifaceted

player from St. Laurentius (Wnek plays kicker, punt returner, cornerback and running back) admitted to some pre-game butter-flies, he and his teammates rallied to score a morale- boosting touchdown at the end of the game to spoil St. Matthew’s shutout. More importantly, the Falcons were noticeably having fun on the field. “These kids are getting better each week,” said Galasso. “Like I said, we have 22 kids who haven’t played football before. So that’s what I’m trying to instill into the neighbor-hood— for kids to get out, to play football. And they’ll get better each year as the kids play and listen to the coaches. You’ll be surprised how much they improve year-to-year at this age.” Father Ed Brady of St. Anne’s Parish is the Fal-cons’ biggest supporter, often taking time out of his schedule to walk out to football practice and make it to games. Brady, who played football while grow-

Footballcontinued from page 1

ing up, sees the importance that this program has in firing up and motivating the boys, but also the im-portance such an organiza-tion has on a community, especially given the state of Catholic schools today. “With the closing of our school, that hit to the core of many people,” said Brady. “This team is something that has brought us back around. I’m very thankful to all of those who support our program because this is where it be-gins, and as (the children) grow up, it stays with them for life. And I’m very proud of the coaches this year, they’ve done a great job.” Erasmos Santiago, Sr., father of Eddie, harmo-

nizes with Father Brady’s assessment of St. Anne’s coaching staff. “Coach Jim and the rest of the coaches have been awesome,” said Santiago. “I thank God for them because these guys teach these kids the best they can; they are great.” According to Santiago, the teaching goes way be-yond X’s and O’s on the gridiron, as he has seen enormous strides in his son’s demeanor since join-ing the Falcons. “I think that with my son, football has shown him leadership…and he says it all the time, ‘Daddy, I’ll try to be the greatest leader I can be.’ And that’s great for me,” said Santiago. “You

can see a huge difference, especially in school. At first my son was a little shaky in school but now he is more of a leader and the teach-ers are giving me great compliments.” Looking forward, Galasso is already setting his sights toward the future of this team and his program as a whole. “I would like to make this team a big time thing, you know, like Friday Night Lights,” said Galasso. “I want to make this program something that the kids can say, ‘Yeah, I played for the St. Anne’s Falcons as a kid.’ I would like to make it a top notch program and have our kids be proud to play at St. Anne’s.”•
