PHILADELPHIA — More than 40,000 seats will be anxiously filled in Citizens Bank Park on Saturday, but for a completely different reason this time around.

Founding Pink Floyd member and bassist Roger Waters is bringing his iconic production of “The Wall” to Phila-delphia for the last massive stadium show, and second-to-last performance

at all, of his “The Wall Live” tour around the globe.

Compared to the nearly 30 times Pink Floyd originally performed the

MILLVILLE — In his 39 years as a police officer, it’s never gotten any easier.

Donning a kilt in addition to his shirt and badge, Steve But-terbrodt practiced the Marines’ Hymn on his bagpipes Friday morning outside of the viewing for Ptl. Christopher Reeves.

It was a humid, overcast morning, but if the mourners gathered at Lakeside Middle School in Millville were uncom-fortable, they didn’t show it.

For police, it’s a solemn duty

Rev. J. Bruce Sofia knew what he had to do.

Three decades ago, Sofia, who was then working as a youth pas-tor in Pleasantville, was on his way home from his parents’ house in Pitman on New Year’s Eve when he felt God telling him he was meant to do something else — that he was meant to do something much bigger.

“I just heard clearly in my spirit, it was sort of that gut voice, to go back to my hometown and start a church,” said Sofia, who was a member of the second graduating class from Washington Township High School. “And that’s what we did.”

He’s now the founder and senior pastor of Gloucester County Com-munity Church in Washington Township, which now sees more than 3,000 worshipers a week, and is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this weekend.

And the church has quite the celebration planned.

An up-and-coming Christian band, Royal Taylor, will kick off the anniversary weekend on Friday with a concert aimed toward the congregation’s younger members. Longtime contemporary Christian group David and the Giants will be at services on Saturday and Sun-day, with a concert at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. Before the concert, the church will hold a family fun day

WOODBURY — Steve Kennedy headed out into the evening to drive home a few friends who had too much to drink.

The good deed cost the 29-year-

old Runnemede man his life.Friday, the man who slammed

into Kennedy’s Nissan sedan along Route 41 in Deptford Township on March 19, 2011, was sentenced to six years in prison.

Rene A. Berben, 26, an Army sergeant who served 17 months in

Afghanistan, had previously admit-ted to downing “10 or more” drinks at Taylor’s bar in Monroe Township before getting behind the wheel of his Ford pickup truck. Berben drove approximately 10 miles before slam-ming into Kennedy’s car near the Deptford Kmart.

The 5-foot, 6-inch-tall Berben had a blood alcohol level of .342 – more than four times the legal limit of 0.08.

“I just want to apologize for what happened,” an emotion-choked Berben said before sentencing on
