Pavement etiquette

To the Editor: I have never made it a habit of writing to newspapers or complaining, but for the last couple of years, I’ve seen the same things going on that have really begun to annoy me. I’m talking about people or older teens riding their big, heavy bicycles on the pavement. I’ve gotten run over four or five times in the last year, and I think anyone other than a child should be prohibited from riding bikes on the pavement. I’ve also seen in the past few years, senior citizens having to jump out of the way of speeding bike riders on the pavement. One poor lady even fell, trying not to get hit by a speeding bicycle, driven by a very large man going at least 30 mph. This ought not be. I thought vehicles (of any kind) should be used in the street. They even have bike lanes that are painted on some streets. Those who are riding their bikes on the pavement at very high speeds are a hazard to mostly everyone, especially to very young children and seniors. This is not right and should be ad-

EXPERIENCE IS WHAT COUNTS

Right for the crime A Point Breeze man sentenced to life in prison for murder also was pinned for firing shots at his victim’s vigil. ■ By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

E

vidence showed that Azzim Dukes was not Tarik Bagley’s intended target, Assistant District Attorney Carolyn Naylor said. Dukes, 17, of the 1600 block of Montrose Street, was walking with another man at 12:28 a.m. March 7, 2010 when Bagley, then 18, of the 2000 block of South 18th Street, approached the pair on the 2000 block of South 19th Street and started shooting, Naylor said. A bullet struck Dukes in the head while the other man escaped physically unscathed. However, Naylor called a witness who disclosed Bagley mentioned he had a problem with the man who was not wounded prior to the shooting, causing Naylor to believe Dukes was not who Bagley meant to gun down. A jury found Bagley, now 21, who was arrested three days after the incident, guilty of first-degree murder, carrying a firearm without a license and possession of an instrument of crime Jan. 22 and the judge sentenced him to life in prison at Montgomery County’s Graterford State Prison March 11. He also was convicted of two counts of conspiracy, recklessly endangering another person, firearm not to be carried without a license and possession of an instrument of crime, which stemmed from two incidents after the homicide. At 7 p.m. on the day of Dukes’ death, about 50 friends and relatives gathered at 19th Street and Snyder Avenue to mourn when Bagley fired at the crowd from his car. “There wasn’t necessarily a target that we were aware of,” Naylor said. “He was just trying to disrupt the crowd. … He then drove off, and about 50 minutes later he was seen again with a firearm at 16th and Mifflin. He was seen firing down that street.”

The duo charged with the drug-related retaliation homicide of a Point Breeze man was convicted and sentenced to life behind bars. “This is the third in series of four murders that were back and fourth between two rival drug gangs,” Assistant District Attorney Richard Sax said. A jury convicted Steven Mapp, 26, of the 1400 block of South 15th Street, and

Demetrius Cox, 25, of the 1700 block of South 18th Street, in the slaying of Jabar Thomas Jan. 22, according to court records. They were both sentenced to life in prison without parole at Montgomery County’s Graterford State Prison for firstdegree murder, conspiracy, possession of an instrument of a crime and firearm violations, including not possessing a license and carrying in public. The 28-year-old victim from the 1400 block of South Hicks Street was wounded multiple times, including a blow to the head at 11:10 p.m. Aug. 4, 2009, police said. “He was just coming out from his mom’s house and was getting into his car,” Sax said. “And Mapp and Cox approached, coming up Hicks and fired 12, 13 rounds and hit him while he was in the car, turning the car on, getting ready to pull off. … It was an ambush.” The offenders — Mapp with a semi-automatic and Cox with a revolver — were telling residents to go inside prior to gunning down Thomas, Sax said. Thomas was transported in extremely critical condition to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where he was pronounced dead three days later at 1:15 p.m., police said. The offenders were arrested at police headquarters Aug. 28, ’09. There was a turf war between the Reed and Hicks-based and 15th and Dickinson-based drug gangs, which intensified when 15th and Dickinson’s Darryl Pray allegedly sold crack to a woman in enemy territory, Sax said. Nieem Thomas, of Reed and Hicks, gunned down Pray July 21, ’09. One-and-a-half hours later, Marlon Lindsay allegedly retaliated by killing Tyrell Smack of Hicks and Reed. Mapp and Cox teamed up to slay Jabar Thomas two week later. Hicks and Reed’s Lamar Truitt struck back gunning down Horace Cunningham Oct. 11, ’09. “Several of the key people in these two small-time drug operations are doing life in prison,” Sax said. Nieem Thomas — whose brothers Jabar Thomas and Smack were killed — and Lindsay were sentenced to life in prison Feb. 8, ’11 and Sept. 28, ’12 respectively, according to court records. Lindsay, whose case had a hung jury Nov. 15, ’12, is set for a retrial Dec. 9, ’13. SPR Contact Managing Editor Amanda L. Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

Spousal support A Grays Ferry resident honored the families of fallen military figures by decorating her front door. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

argaret McClain often prays for world leaders to avoid military conicts because she knows they devastate not only lands but also families. The war dove has devoted decades to assisting altered households and displayed her stand with them Friday, adorning the front door of her home on the 1600 block of South Marston Street with various rights organizations’ emblems, including the Gold Star Wives of America, which that day celebrated its 68th anniversary. “Like many people, I presume, I frequently worry about our active soldiers and veterans,” the 60-something advocate said Monday outside of her Grays Ferry abode. “However, I’m not sure enough folks have concern for their relatives and what becomes of them when they lose their providers. They commonly suffer greatly.” Four widows of World War II armed forces members established the Gold Star Wives of America April 5, 1945, with Eleanor Roosevelt joining soon after the April 12 death of her husband, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States. Incorporation came Dec. 15, with Congress granting a federal charter 35 years later. Along with placing constant emphasis on bettering the lives of waraffected children, the entity has enacted equality by helping widowers, too. “There are many issues out there for survivors, including compensation for their losses, grief counseling and educational assistance, especially scholarships,” McClain, the assistant secretary for the Greater Delaware Valley/Philadelphia Region, one of 53 national chapters, said. “We want them to have resources and constantly speak on their behalf through interactions with Congress and special projects.” The Southwest Philly native made Friday her third visual commendation of those remaining individuals, decorating her domicile with the U.S flag, balloons, sashes and Gold Star Wives and Disabled American Veterans insignias. The day doubled as a personal balm for the willing woman, who lost husband and Vietnam War veteran Bernard McClain to a series of health woes shortly after their ’89 wedding and whose father, David James Daniels, fought in World War II and the Korean War.

“It’s not an extravagant display, but it doesn’t need to be to show my pride and express my gratitude,” she said. MCCLAIN HAD INVOLVED herself in the protection and provision of support systems some time before meeting her eventual partner, originally of the 1800 block of South Chadwick Street. Early in their friendship, he helped her to become more aware of dilemmas facing his contemporaries, including difficulty securing employment, receiving proper medical attention and finding housing. “People often talk about the severity of military life, and, yes, that is undeniable, but he wanted people to address the strain of civilian life, too,” she said of a main post-service aspect of his existence. “He was a very giving man who kept humanity within reach for me, who helped me to realize that so many of those who protect us, as well as their families, go unnoticed.” As their time together intensified, McClain learned from her future mate that he used his military career, which began in the late ’50s and ended in the early ’70s, to de-

fend his country d hi t while hil likewise lik i solidifying lidif i his manhood. “He wanted distinction so he could prove himself,” she said. “It’s sad, though, that he and many others came to be somewhat or completely dependent people. A lot of them had or have no family members for help, but what about those who had loved ones to support?” Eager to perform outreach, McClain received provocative yet sorrowful lessons when encountering more veterans through excursions with her forlorn friend. A fervent community volunteer, she began to align herself with the Veterans Health Administration, tabbing families as her focus. That decision eventually bore her presently tireless relationship with Gold Star Wives, which by centering on children played a part in the creation of the Gold Star Sons and Daughters. “Doling out assistance for the whole fam-

ily drives the mission,” McClain said. “We are especially interested in reaching the female because she will often be the one left either by herself or with her children.” With eight regions assisting approximately 10,000 members in 26 states, Gold Star Wives seeks “to provide service, support and friendship to the widows and widowers of military personnel who died on active duty or as the result of a service-connected cause.” As she deals with figures in many states, McClain estimated that as many as 75 members help her to guide parties to the proper authorities, with each encouraged to visit Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals or military medical facilities. The organization also requests their participation in Memorial Day weekend and Veterans Day memorial services and similar tributes throughout the year. McClain, who is planning a similar decorative salute for Memorial Day, gives of her time for Veteran Affairs, the American Legion and the Paralyzed Veterans of America and knowing that her wishes for the suppression of wars could fail to come true, she asks that the affected American populations receive the utmost respect. “We are looking for federal intervention to have April 5 become a national holiday,” McClain, a figurative soldier in the army of region president Jessica Byrd, who lost husband John Byrd in a 2004 episode in Iraq, said. “I hope we can have our efforts acknowledged because with the way the world is going, we will probably have many more suffering communities.” She is nurturing aspirations for local youths and is hoping to accumulate enough allies for the restoration of the SS United States, which has rested at Pier 82 on the Delaware River since 1996 and whose owners are looking to transform it into a mixed-use destination and a museum complex, as an educational haven for them. “Seeing something great for them to call their own would be my reward,” McClain said. “We need children to have chances to be kids, as losing loved ones to war makes many have to grow up too quickly.” SPR For more information, visit goldstarwives.org.

POLICE REPORT

ROOFTOP PLAN continued from page 1 Massare connect him to Roofmeadow, a design and engineering firm based in Mount Airy. With a concrete-heavy 5.5acre campus for a canvas, the company will hope to continue the greening of Southern through the aforementioned means and ground-level improvements, such as rain gardens and tree plantings, and stormwater management. “We’re thrilled to commence this ambitious and worthwhile plan,” Massare, of the 1000 block of Wolf Street, said. “South Philadelphia High School is a pillar of our community, so any chance to better the student body is one we’ll seek and back.” In addition to Roofmeadow, which has collected awards for its work in five states, including a Green Roof for Healthy Cities commendation for Luzerne County’s Life Expression Wellness Center, the Lower Moyamensing resident has teamed with projexity.com to attempt to raise $26,300 for her secondary education location. That tally would fund the master plan and an accompanying garden coordinator position, with Hackney’s staffers, community point people and her association to offer design input. “This project will really reflect a shared vision of the community,” Lauren Mandel, project manager and rooftop agriculture specialist for Roofmeadow, said of calls for empowering Southern’s pupils and establishing the surrounding environs as a realm teeming with promise. Through June 8, she, Massare, Hackney and other hopeful parties will be courting contributions, with the acquisition of them constituting the first phase of a multi-layered endeavor. “I have no doubt everything will come to fruition,” Hackney said. “I’m always looking to improve upon and make new partnerships to create accessibility of resources within the community. I’m already thinking of the educational and social benefits that should arise from this. Imagine summer nights spent fraternizing on this roof, which offers the best view of the city. Plus, I would love to say that solar panels are powering rooms or a computer lab. It’s all invigorating.” WHEN THE ECSTATIC educator arrived at Southern, he possessed the same verve yet with the cloud of persistently lackluster standardized test scores and lingering racial confusion because of December 2009 attacks against dozens of Asian-American students over their collective heads, he knew change would not come instantaneously yet figured preaching positivity

Gray area

A fight ended in Grays Ferry with one man needing 30 stitches to close a wound on his abdomen Saturday. A 19- and 22-year-old were walking near 29th and Tasker streets at 1:30 a.m. when a group of six unknown teens approached them, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The males started to assault the teen, so his friend tried to break it up when one of the offenders sliced his stomach with an unknown object before the group fled southbound on 29th Street. A private auto transported the man to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he was treated, Tolliver said. A detailed description of the offenders was not available at press time. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

would work wonders. “Academically, we’re getting there,” he said. “We’re hopeful about making even more gains the rest of this year and welcome the challenges that next year will bring.” He and the Southern community reveled Sept. 6 when the Pennsylvania Department of Education removed their destination from its persistently dangerous schools list after five years. The 917-member student body then learned March 7 that it will grow come September, as the School Reform Commission, in conjunction with suggestions from Superintendent William R. Hite, voted to close Edward Bok Technical High School, 1901 S. Ninth St., and send the East Passyunk Crossing site’s pupils to study under Hackney. “Of course it’s a shame to see Bok go,” he said from the roof, with the neighboring school within sight, “but we look forward to even more community growth by accepting its population and continuing its emphasis on career and technical education programs.” Hackney sees the master plan as a perfect complement to his interest in having his young minds understand their community roles and noted that its various elements could yield vocations for his charges, especially for those with culinary pursuits. “With the rooftop farm and our garden,

I could envision us growing vegetables for some of the many local restaurants,” he said. “It will be great to have a space that is literally and figuratively alive and vibrant. We’ve had some ups and downs in my time here, but we’re looking to stay up and how fitting that we plan to use a roof to do it.” His institution also recently extended its relationship with Recyclebank, which through its Green Schools Program will aid the establishment of an arboretum that will be completely student-designed and will include native plants from Southwest Philly’s Bartram’s Garden, America’s first botanical confines. That space will open for April 22’s Earth Day celebration, by which time Massare hopes the master plan project will have begun to receive ample economic support. “We think this could establish a precedent for Philadelphia’s public schools,” she said as her peers surveyed the expanse. “It’s innovative, inspirational and communal, so we’re excited about the next two months.” SPR For more information, visit projexity.com.

A West Passyunk man was arrested for a summer homicide. Vincent Harris, 22, of the 1900 block of South Lambert Street, was taken into custody at Police Headquarters March 28 for allegedly killing a Point Breeze man last year, Officer Jill Russell of the Police Public Affairs Unit said. He was charged with murder, conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and firearm violations, and is being held without bail. He allegedly shot Joseph Knight, 22, of the 1800 block of South 23rd Street, in his torso, leg and hand at midnight Aug. 2, 2012 on the 1900 block of South 23rd Street, police said.

Money moocher

A man was robbed at gunpoint in Marconi Monday. A 23-year-old was strolling along the 2800 block of South 16th Street when an armed man came up behind him and said, “Turn around and give me your money,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man handed $200 to the offender, who searched his pockets and found nothing more. The robber, who fled northbound on 16th Street, was described as white, in his 40s, 5-foot-10, 150 to 160 pounds, thin; having a long, gray beard but no mustache, two gauges in his earlobes; and wearing a black hoodie with white text on the front.

An East Passyunk Crossing resident will advance her love of improv as part of an arts festival. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

W

ith a loving marriage, a thriving son and an enriching legal career, Beth Dougherty could relay many tales of how her past has produced her present. Blessed with a knack for storytelling, the 46-yearold prefers to address others’ lives instead and will help audiences to reexamine bygone days April 20 and 21 in “That Time,” a Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts piece by Tongue & Groove Spontaneous Theater, her six-year-old improvisational group. “It figures to be very interesting because of the concept,” the performer said last week from her home on the 1700 block of South 10th Street of the Kimmel Center-situated show, which will have her and seven peers acting out attendees’ responses to the question “If you could go back in time to any moment in your own life’s story, where would you go and why?” “There’s going to be a bit of trepidation on my part, but creating on the spot is also so invigorat-

ing that I look forward to the interaction and the challenge.” A collaboration with the five-member RealLifePeople(in)Motion dance company, “That Time” will allow Dougherty et al to enhance Tongue & Groove’s penchant for longform improv creations through which the thespians seamlessly devise scenes and monologues. For the East Passyunk Crossing inhabitant, who counts Newbold’s Jennifer MacMillan as a stage colleague, the assignment yields more means to understand human nature. “With improv, people quickly need to realize who and where they are and rely on their ability and relationships with their colleagues,” Dougherty said. “It’s really neat getting to be little architects for periods of time.” Set to test their timing for the second time at the biennial celebration, the Tongue & Groove entertainers have prepared by handling relatives’ and acquaintances’ replies to the inquiry, with Dougherty devoting herself to devising a fusion of serious and comical tones in line with her group’s grounding in realism. As for what she would offer as an answer if she were in the crowd instead of in front of it, she recalled the day when she decided on becoming a lawyer instead of a social worker.

“That would be an interesting one to revisit, as I had initially set out to be a social worker with a law degree,” she said. “Live and learn, as they say.” A GERMANTOWN NATIVE, Dougherty grew up in Lawrence, Kan., where she gained her initial understanding of theater life’s trials and triumphs through school and community productions. Loving the work due to being a self-professed nerd, she found herself executing dramatic and musical pieces and fostered visions of being an actress. “I’ve just always loved performing,” she said of her stage infatuation’s genesis. “It helps to peel away so many layers.” Admiration for the craft behind her calling led Dougherty to matriculate as a theater history major at New York University where she also sought to improve her improv chops. “It’s an interesting element of the performance world because not having lines to memorize means people can start to mess around and welcome these sorts of evolving interpretations of the world,” she said. While acknowledging the urge to act, Dougherty also deliberated on the downtrodden and used a desire to give individuals in need more awareness of the justice

system to pursue a law degree at Temple University. “My career has had an interesting trajectory,” the transactional lawyer, who works with nonprofits, such as the South Philly Food Co-op, said of balancing acting stages and legal pages. “I definitely see a link between the two because of the connections I try to make with clients and patrons.” Dougherty experienced an improv hiatus during her Temple tenure yet soon intensified her admiration for being dependent on her creativity by taking an abundance of classes. The tutelage encouraged her to seek a new outlet, and she became aligned with two now-defunct troupes, Polywumpus and 13 Skirts, that specialized in fast-paced efforts that differed from her current endeavors. Having taken three longform classes with producing artistic director Bobbi Block, Dougherty auditioned for the figure when pregnant with now-6-year-old son Matthew and became a founding member of Tongue & Groove in 2006, one year after her relocation to South Philly with husband Kevin Dougherty. “I’ve really enjoyed the process of stepping out of comfort zones and analyzing so many facets of my personality,” Dough-

erty, whose ensemble also has given extemporaneous displays at the Fringe Arts Festival and the Philly Improv Theater, 407 Bainbridge St., said. Last year’s interaction with the former came courtesy of Center City-based Comedy Sportz, for whom her spouse and onetime improv instructor serves as a player, and the ongoing bond with the latter will likely result in a summer show. “In this genre, it always pays to have opportunities to remain sharp,” Dougherty said. She keeps acute otherwise by strengthening the East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association as a four-year board member and the chair of its education committee, a position that has helped her to improve operations at Southwark School, 1835 S. Ninth St. Like her legal and creative identities, she finds her community existence builds her bond with the world at large. “It’s all about the conveying and appreciation of information,” she said, “and it’s all inspirational and motivational.” SPR For tickets, visit pifa.org.

When ice cream became a frozen dairy dessert

W

tions.” That’s when Unilever became the stereotype of every bad corporation you have ever seen in a Michael Moore movie. It changed the Breyers formula. Most of the Breyers ice cream one buys today are no longer called “ice cream.” Check the package. Even on some simple flavors, such as Vanilla Fudge Twirl and Butter Pecan, it says “frozen dairy dessert.” Now folks, you may not like the federal government that much, but it does set the standard by which a company earns the right to call its product “ice cream.” By God, that container better have at least 10 percent milk fat in it or buster, you’re in uncharted waters. By calling its product “frozen dairy dessert,” no consumer can protest it doesn’t meet the standard because there is no government standard for “frozen dairy dessert.” It’s whatever a big corporation wants it to be. And what a corporation calls a “frozen dairy dessert” contains stuff, such as corn syrup, whey, mono, diglycerides and a whole lot of gums like tara (my goddaughter is named Tara and I sure don’t want her gum in my ice cream), carob bean and guar gums. I don’t want to be unfair to Unilever. It is not the only shlock corporation out there masquerading as makers of ice cream. Mostly all of the big commercial brands do it. Even Turkey Hill, which likes you to think of some gentle Amish farmers churning their ice cream products does it (except in their high end brand called Old Philadelphia appropriately enough). But Unilever is using the Breyers name and that counts for something here in this city. You want to muck up an established ice cream, go pick on another brand made in Detroit or Cleveland. Do yourself a favor sometime. Look up the various products manufactured under the Unilever name. A couple of examples are Vaseline and Clear scalp products. Doesn’t that get your taste buds salivating? But wait, it gets worse. Unilever now owns Ben & Jerry’s. Now I don’t know about you, but when two gentle hippies sell their product to Unilever, I’m willing to predict the end of the freaking world. Are you telling me Jerry Garcia isn’t doing the samba in his grave over Unilever producing Cherry Garcia? Right now, Unilever is doing all the right things by Ben & Jerry’s. The churns are still humming in Vermont, where the cream produced by cows is free of BHT and a part of the proceeds go to feeding the hungry, freeing the world’s political prisoners and curing every disease known to man. But I ask you, for how long? How long before the word “frozen dairy dessert” replaces “ice cream” on the label? It’s almost enough to make me wish I were lactose intolerant.

Problems arise after Marina (Olga Kurylenko), from left, and Neil (Ben Affleck) move from Paris to an Oklahoma suburb.

Worth ‘the Wonder’ ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

I

f there’s any film director who can make you feel closer to the divine, whatever that may be, surely it’s Terrence Malick. His movies are searching inventories of what it means to be human, and queries to the heavens of what transcends this mortal coil. He captures nature as if he can see God in every detail, and he’s capable of crafting a spiritual experience for even the most agnostic viewer. In “The Tree of Life,” Malick explored the whole of life itself. In “To the Wonder,” he narrows his focus to chart a complicated love, but makes the journey feel no less sweeping or cloaked in existential meaning. Ben Affleck plays an American man named Neil, who falls in love with Marina (Olga Kurylenko) while the two are living in Paris, then moves, with Marina and her daughter, to an Oklahoma suburb. Things go from splendid to tense and culture-clashy, and Marina flees the States, leaving Neil to briefly reconnect with Jane (Rachel McAdams), a childhood acquaintance, before Marina returns again. All the while, a priest, Father Quintana (Javier Bardem), questions his faith when tending to the sick and downtrodden — a lonely man seen parallel to a love story plagued by loneliness. All of this is conveyed with remarkably minimal dialogue, and while many may find the approach to be tedious and cryptic, the film somehow feels more straightforward and less elliptical than much of Malick’s work. It’s startling how fully he can communicate the story and its nuances without ever telling them to you. The only preaching

comes via a handful of curious voiceovers, which are always more questions than answers, and always seem to be Malick’s own voice, hunting for grace and clarity. At this point in his career, the ever-elusive filmmaker seems wholly uninterested in catering to audiences, and instead devoted to tying his art to the mystery of his own life. His stars are merely figures to act out the search for clues, and his tireless, fluid camera — like this movie’s love story — highlights the ache and wonder of the transience of all things.

To the Wonder R Three reels out of four Opens tomorrow at area theaters

Recommended Rental Django Unchained R Available Tuesday

A Quentin Tarantino revenge fantasy akin to “Inglourious Basterds,” “Django Unchained” sees the mad director rewrite the history books again, this time following the eponymous hero (Jamie Foxx) as he opens a can of you-know-what in the slavery-ridden American South. “Django” isn’t Tarantino’s best, but it’s one helluva ride, with spectacular supporting performances from Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

e love ice cream in my house. When I was a kid, I won a Sealtest Dairy contest and a coupon book for 26 half-gallons of ice cream — supposedly about a year’s supply. I shared a half-gallon of ice cream with my grandmother every Sunday and it was gone within six months. My wife and I fell in love over a half-gallon of Breyers mint chocolate chip about 50 years ago. Since then, Breyers became our brand of choice. Breyers was born in Philadelphia after the Civil War. We recited the Pledge of Purity guarantee every night before we opened the container. A portrait of both of us digging into the carton with our spoons hangs over our mantelpiece in the dining room (Well, maybe not, but it should). While others opted for new flavors and trendy brands, we stuck with Breyers with the mint leaf on the carton — our north star. We even played games, such as counting the specks of vanilla bean on our spoonfuls of all-natural vanilla. We rejoiced at the simple ingredients — milk, cream, sugar and the pure flavorings. We were proud that the cherries were not just any cherries, but Bing cherries. Not even our rising cholesterol could upset our serene Breyers world. Wasn’t Henry Breyer ever canonized? Well, it must have been an oversight on the part of the church. Although Breyers actually had been sold to the National Dairy Products Corp. in 1926, we didn’t worry until the corporation began calling itself Kraftco. Until then, I still pictured members of the Breyer family churning our favorite ice cream in the little Southwest Philadelphia factory. And then in 1993, Unilever, a Dutch company, took over our favorite brand. Tastes change, even in ice cream. Some people began to insist chunks of their favorite candy bar be part of their ice cream. Breyers eventually caved, but still, its original all-natural flavors remained alongside the newer flavors. That is until recent years. At first, the changes were subtle. The size of the half-gallon began to shrink as prices rose, and today, a “half-gallon” of Breyers is 1.5 quarts. My wife and I aren’t unreasonable people. We were willing to live with smaller containers and higher prices. After all, we no longer dove spoon first into the containers anymore, but disciplined ourselves to eat what I call “controlled por-

What Do You Do If You Hear the

Community Alert Sirens? The following information regarding the Community Alert Siren System is intended for each residence and business in South and Southwest Philadelphia nearest the refinery to advise everyone what to do when the sirens sound.

The sirens are tested on the first Saturday of each month at noon for 30 seconds. In the event of a real emergency, the sirens sound continuously for three minutes. Residents are advised to follow Shelter-In-Place advisories whenever the sirens sound.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION PORTRAITS

The Shelter-In-Place information below will guide you and your family about what precautions to take in the unlikely event of a release from the refining complex or from a rail or truck accident anywhere in the community. We hope that you will find the information useful, and that you will share it with your family, friends and neighbors.

fresh ricotta cheese. The only problem I found was with the pumpkin seeds. I wish they were roasted and slightly salted as it would have pepped it up a notch. Blood oranges are in season and their slightly sweet yet acidic flavor added a fine touch when it was blended with olive oil. I cannot say enough about Metropolitan’s croissants. Anyone who has breakfasted in France knows how they should taste. Metropolitan’s plain croissant ($2.55) is baked with layers of buttery, silky dough, which transported me back to Paris. I also like the chocolate and almond versions ($2.85) at teatime. Their walnut fudge brownies ($2.45) are so rich, can be share with ease. Metropolitan Café serves Green Street = Very Good

hiladelphia has been famous for its bread ever since Ben Franklin arrived here from Boston munching on a roll. The aroma of freshly-baked Sally Lunn bread emitting from the City Tavern would fill the busy shopping area as the citizens of Colonial Philadelphia went about their day-to-day business. South Philly bakeries produce some of the finest Italian breads in the city. Lanci and Sarcone’s are my favorites. But, until 20 years ago, it was impossible to find authentic artisan French loaves anywhere. On an autumn morning in 1993, Wendy Smith Born and James Barrett opened Metropolitan Bakery and set the standard for handmade French breads in our town. They met at the iconic White Dog Café where Barrett was the pastry chef. Barrett spent time in France where he mastered the technique of baking using an all-natural starter. Several months ago, the duo opened Metropolitan Café adjacent to their Rittenhouse Square retail shop. It does not matter which section of the city one lives, Rittenhouse serves as a magnet in the springtime. If one doesn’t want to sip coffee and munch on a pastry in the park, he or she can sit down enjoy breakfast, lunch or a snack at Metropolitan Café. The interior is done up in several shades of natural wood with plants, a community table and seating along the windows overlooking South 19th Street. The high metal chairs are comfortable and dot the space. Orders are placed at the counter. Then a server brings out the meal. I have tried a

number of treats at Metropolitan Bakery locations as well and the menu changes from time-to-time and according to the season. Born and Barrett are sticklers for freshness and use and sell only local sustainable products. I sometimes wonder how a specific vegetable, fish or ingredient all of a sudden becomes so popular that many restaurants start to serve them up. Brussels sprouts, kale, halibut, short ribs and chicken pot pie have been popping up on menus for a number of years. Chicken pot pie ($8.75) was baked in an individual round soufflé up and arrived at my table piping hot. The homemade, flakey pastry was tender and buttery. I broke it with my fork, and steam emerged along with an aroma that wafted around me. Inside were bite-sized bits of chicken, fresh carrots, potatoes and baby spring peas. I swirled the contents around inside the ramekin to properly mix them with the rich, perfectly seasoned gravy, which is a hallmark of a properly made pot pie. From the salads and snacks I selected beet and fennel salad with local assorted greens, pumpkin seeds and fresh creamy ricotta tossed in a blood orange vinaigrette ($8.75). The local spring mix consisted of baby spinach, frisee, red oak and soft green lettuce. The addition of fennel added a bit of crunch and lovely licorice flavor, and it was fun to see how the beet juice turned the white strips of fennel into a rosy red hue. Cubes of cool, red roasted beets were strewn throughout the generous mound of greens, which paired well with bits of

Citizens Bank Park Diamond Club’s Porchetta Sandwich

A

Chef Anthony Campagna

Citizens Bank Park Diamond Club Operated by the Philadelphia Phillies Opened 2004 1 Citizens Bank Way 215-463-6000 phillies.com

nthony Campagna’s initial career plans didn’t include signing an extended deal at Citizens Bank Park. The resident of 13th Street and Oregon Avenue came from a family who ran a body-shop business, so he planned to follow in his dad and older brother’s footsteps. Well, like the Phillies openingday lineup, plans can be altered. “As the youngest child in my family, I always cooked with my mom in the kitchen, but it wasn’t until my 20s when my passion for cooking came to life,” Campagna, a graduate of the former St. Nicholas of Tolentine and St. John Neumann High School, said. After some encouragement, Campagna earned culinary degrees from The Art Institute of Philadelphia and cooked up fresh career plans. His cooking base for the last nine years has been at the ballpark. Starting as a

Diamond Club chef, Campagna now is in charge of its kitchen where he is preparing several tasty dishes including a traditional South Philly Italian dish. “In 2010, we did a Porchetta Sandwich at Harry the K’s for the playoffs where we roasted a whole pig outside the restaurant. It was so successful that we added it to the full-time menu in 2011 and 2012,” he said.

INGREDIENTS: 2 pounds of pork tenderloin 1 pound of pork belly, skin on 1 cup of mixed fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley and basil) Salt and pepper, to taste 1 cup of pork jus 2 teaspoons of roasted garlic 1 pound of broccoli rabe 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon of lemon juice 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes 20 slices of sharp provolone cheese 10 crusty Italian rolls

DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Fillet the pork loin and pound to 1\4-inch. Pound the pork belly (skin side down) to 1/2-inch. Place the tenderloin on top of the pork belly. Rub with the herbs and season with the salt and pepper. Roll into a tight log and tie with butcher’s twine. Roast in the oven for two-and-a-half hours

until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. In a small saucepan, heat the pork jus and garlic until hot. Blanch the broccoli rabe in a pot of boiling water until bright green. Remove from the pot and immerse it in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking process. Sauté the broccoli rabe with the oil, lemon juice and pepper flakes. Season with the salt and pepper. Shred or slice the pork, dip it in the warm jus and build the sandwiches. Makes 10 sandwiches. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/ food-and-drink/features.

Spiked punch

PRO SPORTS

A Whitman boxer used an aggressive approach to capture a Golden Gloves title.

■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

W

ith his father as his primary tutor, Benny Sinakin has absorbed boxing’s history, especially its local chapters, for most of his life. Eager to add to his hometown’s annals, the 5-foot-10, 200-pound pugilist gained a unanimous decision victory March 30 at Kensington’s Front Street Gym to claim the Philadelphia Golden Gloves 15-16 heavyweight championship, the first entry in what he hopes will be a lengthy list of accolades. “I wanted to prove even more that South Philly guys are tough,” the 15-year-old sophomore at The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., said Friday from his home on the 2400 block of South Orkney Street. “I know it was once a big area for fighters, so I’m just looking to show how proud I am to be from South Philly.” Benny boosted his turf’s reputation two weeks ago by sweeping his three-round bout against Chad Johnson, who had hoped to use a four-inch height advantage to produce sharper blows, thus forcing the local athlete to retreat to the ropes. Mindful of his foe’s plan, Benny opted for aggression and used swift lateral movements to create openings for crisp jabs. “Before you know it, he had his man on the ropes,” Andre Horne, who trains Benny at the Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 744 S. 17th St., said. “My guy is so committed and intense that I knew he’d do it.” L i kew i s e n i c k n a m e d “ T h e Bull,” the resident of the 2400 block of South Fifth Street had a short professional career yet has experienced success preparing hopeful fighters for the rigors of their sport. Teaming up with Benny in late 2011, he noticed a youngster ready to endure pain to pursue glory. “Andre likes to say God must

have put them together because they’re so in sync,” Lincoln Sinakin, the new titlist’s patriarch, who fought once as an amateur in 1962, said. “It’s been special to watch their bond grow.” That union has helped Benny to develop a fervent curiosity for tactics and the belief that no matter who stands before him, he will never find himself unprepared or overwhelmed. The teenager called on that confidence for a pre-duel sparring session with United States Boxing Association cruiserweight champion Garrett Wilson and for his premiere, where, despite early butterflies, he offered enough variety to impress the judges and to give himself opportunities to gloat at his South

of South training facility, chances he has shunned. “The day of the fight, I knew I had done the necessary work, and it felt great to be declared the winner,” Benny said. “When I heard my name, I thought ‘It’s my time,’ but I’m the same kid I was before, and I want to do much better.” ALONG WITH PROVIDING joy, last month’s triumph also offered evidence that patience pays, as the Whitman dweller had needed to wait years for someone to brawl. “I’ve been enrolled for some time, but kids couldn’t make weight, so I went without a fight,” Benny said. “While that was frustrating, I decided to be more dedicated so that when I heard about having a match, I felt great.” The promising talent approached his father for instruction as a 12-year-old student at D. Newlin Fell School, 900 W. Oregon Ave., allowing boxing to join baseball, football and track to give him a quartet of recreational passions. Having noticed how now-19-year-old brother Demetri Sinakin experienced enhanced focus through acquiring punching prowess, Benny found himself lacing up gloves to give his family another potential b r u i s e r, bu t his moti-

vation seemed precarious. “At first, I just did it because my brother and others were doing it,” he said. “I was interested but something was missing, and I had other sports on my mind.” Godmother Evelyn Miranda had expressed her fear that Benny might end up injured yet knowing his affinity for fighting, she told him to stick with it if he felt he could excel. Her Feb. 2012 death compelled him to seek distinction, and he chooses to honor her advice and influence by donning pink socks. “I’m really fortunate to have so many supporters,” Benny said. “Every day is a chance to learn something new and reach new heights.” Horne has helped him to hone his hopes, with the physicality of their sessions teaching him to persevere no matter the odds. That discipline also has motivated him to continue his baseball and football infatuations for Horace Furness High School, 1900 S. Third St., through a School District agreement, as his Hawthorne secondary site does not field those teams. As a catcher for the diamond unit and an offensive and defensive lineman for the gridiron group, he likewise displays his grit, although his boxing allegiance will likely yield his vocation. “I want to represent my country in the [2016] Olympic Games and eventually become the heavyweight champion of the world,” Benny said. “I can’t wait to represent South Philly.” The fighter next will test his caliber May 11 at North Philly’s Derby Ink Gardens. If he wins, he will claim the city title and head to Reading for May 25’s regional final. With weeks to prepare, he plans to hear many calls for consistency from Horne. “He tells me we can take it all,” Benny said. “I believe that and I want it to come true.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Paid Advertorial

Now is a good time to address your roof after this tough winter season. Ice & snow freezing and melting opens flashings, lifts seams, drain box seals open, and even high winds can cause capping to blow loose! By having a qualified roofer do an inspection now, it may save you $$ from water damage later. Sometimes only minor maintenance is needed.

COULD

So how do you find a qualified roofing company? The Better Business Bureau and other websites post reviews online, and in Pa all home improvement contractors must have an Attorney General’s license. It’s blue and should be readily available to be shown to you and it means your contractor is fully licensed & insured, and must follow the roofing industry standards set by the state. Another way is to see how long the company has been in business, is it local, family owned, has a neighbor used them successfully, do they have a web site, have they won any awards, helped out in the community, are they working on a regular basis in the area? Following these guidelines will help in the search for an honest and qualified roofer!
