OPENING YOUR DREAMS, ONE DOOR AT A TIME<br />
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT<br />
Q & A with Toscana 52 Co-Owner Riccardo Longo<br />
WHAT STYLE OF FOOD DO YOU OFFER AT TOSCANA 52<br />
Our team of Native Italian chef's present an authentic modern<br />
Tuscan vision of Italian cooking. Featuring everything from<br />
Crudo, which is Italian sushi, to a variety of innovative homemade<br />
pastas, certified Angus meats, fresh fish delivered daily and<br />
poultry featuring our signature Sicilian Duck. In addition to using<br />
traditional fresh ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil, garlic, &<br />
Tuscan spices, you will find modern Italian ingredients such as<br />
mango, avocado, walnuts, pear, & ginger infused into many of<br />
our dishes.<br />
WHAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF A MODERN TUSCAN DISH<br />
A great example of this new modern Italian cuisine are the<br />
Champagne Pear Sacchetti. This is a wildly popular dish with our<br />
guests which features artisan pasta sacks delicately filled with<br />
fresh pear & ricotta cheese, topped with a walnut-champagne<br />
cream sauce & micro green accents. It's a flavor sensation.<br />
DO YOU ALSO OFFER ITALIAN STANDARDS SUCH AS<br />
SPAGHETTI & CHICKEN PARMESAN<br />
Of course, Italian cuisine is changing & evolving , but c e r t a i n<br />
classics will always be there. Being a native Italian myself I take<br />
pride in the classics & make sure that our chef's use only the finest<br />
fresh ingredients & adhere to our family recipes.<br />
THE RESTAURANT IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL, WHAT WAS THE<br />
INSPIRATION FOR THE DESIGN<br />
The inspiration is our families trips to Tuscany every summer.<br />
The architectural details of the building inside & out are taken from<br />
photos of Tuscan villas & restaurants that we have visited over the<br />
years. Our banquet room, for example, is done in the style of a<br />
Tuscan winery that we visited. Being native Italian, it was important<br />
to our family to bring a truly authentic Tuscan design & emotion to the restaurant.<br />
WHAT DOES THE “52” STAND FOR<br />
Each week our team of chef's present a supplemental menu featuring the cuisine of a different<br />
city. This will feature a selection of appetizers, entrees , wines & local cocktails. The “52” menus have<br />
been extremely successful & many of our guests come in each week to try a different cities<br />
specialties. We rotate 3 Italian & 1 non Italian city each month. Cities include Rome, Paris, Monte<br />
Carlo, Havana, Venice, Florence, Barcelona, Rio and many more.<br />
HOW ABOUT THE BAR . . . <br />
We offer almost 50 wines & champagnes by the glass, as well as 8<br />
different flavored homemade sangrias, delicious specialty drinks &<br />
martinis. Tuscan Tapas Happy hour is from 3 pm to 6 pm.<br />

XSITE: PROMOTING SERVICE TO BENSALEM<br />
XSITE (Extreme Service and Intergenerational Experience) will begin another cycle this Spring and is<br />
looking for youth and adult partners in <strong>Bensalem</strong> to join.<br />
XSITE has been a program of TODAY, Inc. and Building a Better <strong>Bensalem</strong> Together (B3T) for almost<br />
six years. It is a unique opportunity for youth in <strong>Bensalem</strong> ages 13-15 to get involved in their community and meet<br />
new friends. XSITE focuses on helping youth create positive bonds to adults in the community by having youth and<br />
adults work cooperatively to solve problems and create projects.<br />
The program is comprised of 8 weekly sessions based on topics such as decision making, teamwork, and<br />
leadership. During each session, interactive projects are completed by the youth and adult partners and youth gain<br />
valuable real-life skills essential for college, job interviews, high school service requirements, and other endeavors.<br />
Adult volunteers have a unique opportunity to give back to the community in the form of their time and their life<br />
experiences to pass along to today's youth in a positive and fun way.<br />
Following the 8 weekly sessions, youth and adults team up to complete a community service project. This<br />
“extreme service” allows youth to have a voice in the community and enables them to make meaningful service<br />
contributions. Past projects have included the support and participation of the Family Movie Nights at the <strong>Bensalem</strong><br />
<strong>Township</strong> Amphitheatre (now known as the TD Bank Amphitheater), passing a smoke-free ordinance in <strong>Bensalem</strong><br />
with the help of the Mayor and Council, and creating signs for the <strong>Bensalem</strong> School District buses promoting bullyfree<br />
living. The projects mentioned have left a lasting impression.<br />
XSITE is a fun and unique way for youth and adults to get involved and have fun together in a healthy<br />
atmosphere. Pizza is provided each week, incentives are given for participation, and all participants are recognized<br />
publicly at a <strong>Bensalem</strong> Council meeting.<br />

as “Charlie Company”<br />
and just graduated<br />
from A.I.T. (Advanced<br />
Infantry Training) in<br />
Fort Jackson, South<br />
Carolina and is waiting<br />
on his orders. This process takes time and we are not sure<br />
where he will be going or when. Fort Jackson is the largest and<br />
most active Initial Entry Training Center in the U.S. Army, training<br />
50 percent of all Soldiers and 70 percent of the women entering<br />
the Army each year.<br />

Technical Sergeant (TSgt),<br />
Jeffrey J. Mitchell, is a 21 year<br />
active duty NCO stationed<br />
at McGuire AFB, NJ. He is<br />
assigned to the 621st<br />
Contingency Response Wing<br />
(since Dec 03). He has<br />
completed three tours in Iraq<br />
in support of Operation Iraqi<br />
Freedom and one tour in<br />
Pakistan assisting in earthquake relief. His most recent tour<br />
was at Joint Base Balad, Iraq, the busiest cargo/passenger<br />
hub in the country.<br />
As a Flightline Expediter, he led a team under combat<br />
conditions. They flew over 390 missions using C-17A<br />
Globemaster III and C-5A Galaxy aircraft, moving 36,000<br />
tons of cargo and <strong>19</strong>,000 passengers. He was instrumental<br />
in reconfiguring a C-17 into a full medical evacuation<br />
platform for 36 patients awaiting transport to Ramstein Air<br />
Base, Germany for treatment.<br />
Since returning home on Valentine's Day, Sergeant<br />
Mitchell has resumed duty at McGuire AFB and<br />
is back volunteering with the Eddington<br />
Fire Company. Most recently he was<br />
recognized by Struble Elementary<br />
students and teachers for this contribution<br />
to our country and the <strong>Bensalem</strong><br />
community.<br />

COP CORNER<br />
DECREASE IN CRIME - INCREASE IN POLICE SERVICES<br />
The National Criminal Justice Association based out<br />
of Washington, D.C., has reported a nationwide<br />
increase in crime. In October <strong>20</strong>08, CNN reported that<br />
United States police departments are streamlining as<br />
well as reducing training and cutting back on some<br />
prevention programs as their budgets fall victim to the<br />
struggling economy. USA Today reported that the<br />
collapse of United States financial markets has forced<br />
deep cuts in local police agencies causing fear among<br />
police departments across the country that massive<br />
home foreclosures may be responsible for bringing<br />
more crime to the suburbs. However, in <strong>Bensalem</strong><br />
<strong>Township</strong> in <strong>20</strong>08, we had an over 11% decrease in<br />
crime; which was the highest decrease in the past five<br />
years. In addition, we had our highest crime clearance<br />
rates – we were able to make arrests and solve more<br />
crimes in <strong>20</strong>08 than in the last five years.<br />
As police departments throughout the country feel<br />
the impact of our struggling economy, <strong>Bensalem</strong><br />
<strong>Township</strong> continues to bring new initiatives, more<br />

MANAGEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP<br />
As <strong>Bensalem</strong> Emergency Management continues to train and prepare for a variety<br />
of incidents that our municipality might be faced with, we are asking for your help.<br />
A tear out information sheet is included in this newsletter which will allow us to<br />
identify the residents within our <strong>Township</strong> that have special needs and require special<br />
assistance during times of crisis. These needs could include individuals with<br />
disabilities, diabetes, mental health issues; or people that are on oxygen or need<br />
special care when being evacuated; or need to have constant access during snow<br />
emergencies.<br />
In order to be better prepared and make sure that we can identify and contact all<br />
our special needs residents during a crisis, we need to have any resident with special<br />
needs fill out the information sheet and return it either in person or via mail to the<br />

some of our specialty units such as K-9, but we were<br />
able to add officers to multi-jurisdictional task forces,<br />
