Word on the Street What do you think about East Passyunk Avenue as one of the Top Foodie Streets in America? “I don’t go out much, but my daughter and other older children do. They like to go out on East Passyunk Avenue and eat with their friends a lot. My daughter usually goes out with her softball team to eat at Stogie Joe’s.� Anthony Suinato, 12th and Gerritt streets “I don’t really eat around [East Passyunk Avenue] too often. Sometimes I will go to Fuel because I like their salads and they have good prices.� Kate Shivers, Passyunk Avenue and Juniper Street “There are good places around [East Passyunk Avenue], like Fond, but I think Center City has more places to choose from.� Wisam Achkar, 11th and Cross streets “I haven’t done a lot of traveling, so I don’t really know, but I think we have a bunch of really great restaurants on one street, like Le Virtu and Fond, that are in good walking distance.� Tran Nguyen, 13th and Mifflin streets

South PhillyReview

Growing gains To the Editor: As reported by Joseph Myers, (“Upper management,� April 11), kudos to South Philadelphia High School Principal Otis Hackney for his visionary plans for enhancing Southern’s campus and school life by the addition of a roof-top farm. With support from the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association and its allies, the school has needed this kind of leadership for a long time. It proves that creative problem solving can make inspiring, transformational things happen. Especially impressive is that this is a community effort and not a political or corporate project for self-aggrandizement. These leaders see the full potential of connecting students to the real world now while teaching them skills they can apply to the job market after graduation. If they had to transfer Bok’s population and technical programs to Southern, at least it is happening under the watchful eye of a smart, dynamic principal. Bravo!

and-Lombard-streets plant. He saw fit to educate me on the finer points of ice cream quality since Abbotts had more than one product. The crĂŠme de la crĂŠme was its Jane Logan brand with the primary difference being in the butterfat content of the product. The higher the percentage, butterfat the better the quality of the product. I also remember other local brands of ice cream made here in Philadelphia. How about Harbison Dairies with Dolley Madison being their top-of-the-line product? As for the size of the containers, I remember when the half-gallon was proudly introduced as the most convenient way to purchase ice cream. I also remember the quart containers of ice cream slices (primarily used in school lunchrooms and waffle stands in the amusement parks). Abbotts also had the exclusive contract for a

special made spumoni with one of the Philadelphia area’s larger caterers. What a treat it was when overproduction allowed Dad to bring some home. Remember, it (by contract) could not be sold to anybody else. Other long-gone names in the local dairy industry — Sealtest and Sylvan Seal, the latter being touted by Sally Starr and Chief Halftown. Thank you for bringing back my own memories of this industry in Philadelphia. William J. Kerr Williamstown, N.J.

Vehicle TLC To the Editor: If you own a vehicle, chances are it needs some work. April’s National Car Care Month is the ideal time to spring into action and give your

car some extra attention. Results of vehicle inspections held at community car care events across the country reveal that 77 percent of vehicles need service or parts. Neglected vehicle care almost always means much higher costs down the line in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value. A thorough vehicle inspection this spring can keep your car safe and dependable. Following a routine maintenance program on an ongoing basis, like the Car Care Council’s free personalized schedule and e-mail reminder service, can help you drive smart, save money and make informed decisions.

Gloria C. Endres South Philadelphia

Fearful steps To the Editor: I read with heartfelt sorrow about bike riding on our South Philly sidewalks (“Pavement etiquette,� April 11). I have read more about it in the Metro. At 91, born in this house, I fear walking down our steps and on to the sidewalk just to get into the car. The bikes speed by so fast that we can hardly go outside. Dogs, small children and moms with strollers don’t stand a chance. I pity any old people just trying to live out their lives. Mary De Gregorio South Philadelphia

Chilled with memories To the Editor: Your article on ice cream (“When ice cream became a frozen dairy dessert,� April 11) hit home with me for similar reasons, with a slightly different point of view. My father spent 40 years in the ice cream industry, most of them with Abbotts Dairies at the Third-

A Packer Park man allegedly beat a bicyclist who lost control of his bike in East Passyunk Crossing. ■ By Amanda L. Snyder Review Managing Editor

A

motorist allegedly parked his car and began to verbally then physically attack a biker who skidded slightly in front of his car. The 20-year-old cyclist was riding on the 900 block of McKean Street when he had some difficulties stopping at 10th Street at 2:25 p.m. Friday, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Anthony Corvino, 20, of the 1900 block of Schley Street, is believed to have been driving his Hyundai behind the man and beeped at him. When the bicyclist regained his balance and continued southbound on 10th Street, Corvino allegedly followed him, parking his car in a lot at 10th Street and Snyder Avenue. When the bike rider stopped at the same intersection, Corvino allegedly began screaming at him and punched him in the face, knocking the man off of his bike and onto the ground, Tolliver said. Corvino is believed to have stomped on his head and punched him a few more times, resulting in the man’s consciousness beginning to fade. He tried to block his head with his hands as Corvino allegedly continued to kick him in the back of his head. As Corvino left, the victim noted his license plate number, which police used to locate the man’s Packer Park home and arrested Corvino at 3:10 p.m., Tolliver said. Police transported the victim to Methodist Hospital for treatment. Corvino was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person, according to court records. His bail was set Saturday at $5,000, and he posted 10 percent of that amount that day.

Abrupt abduction A Dickinson Square West corner store employee was almost abducted during her shift last week. The 35-year-old female was working at Santa Fe Grocery Store, 521 Reed St., at 10:30 p.m. April 8 when Paulino Gutierrez, a previous customer, allegedly returned and requested cigarettes, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He then supposedly pulled a large knife from his waistband and told her he was going to kidnap her. Grabbing her arm and holding a knife to her side,

the 27-year-old from the 600 block of Earp Street allegedly guided her toward the front door. However, as he reached to close the store’s overhead gate, the woman escaped and ran west on Reed Street. The offender fled north on Fairhill Street, but police apprehended him on the 700 block of Sears Street, Tolliver said. Gutierrez was charged with kidnapping, unlawful restraint, terroristic threats, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and possession of an instrument of crime, according to court records. His bail, which he had not posted as of press time, was set at $500,000.

Perpetrator not welcome Police are seeking a man who burglarized a Center City home and attempted to do the same in Queen Village last week. A 33-year-old man awoke to the sound of his doorbell at 4:55 a.m. April 11 on the 700 block of South American Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. From the top of his staircase, he noticed an unknown man standing in his doorway, so he yelled at him to leave, causing the offender to flee southbound on the block to Monroe Street. He paced back and forth and it appeared as if he was trying to get into a silver Ford Fusion, but then the alarm went off and the offender fled eastbound on Monroe. Police found the vehicle’s owner, a 37-year-old woman whose Center City home on the 1500 block of Rodman Street was burglarized, Tolliver said. Details of that crime, aside from her car keys being removed from her home and her vehicle being taken from a parking lot at 15th and South streets, were not available at press time. The offender was described as black with a dark complexion, 5-foot-10 to 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, thin and wearing a black hoodie, black pants and a black baseball cap.

Change of scenery An East Passyunk Crossing school will stage a show linking past and present economic struggles. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

M

any deem money the root of all evil, though its absence usually incites sadness. Yearning to link Americans’ financial pain and persistence during the Great Depression and the Great Recession, Kimberly Niemala composed “Spare a Dime,” a multimedia song cycle that will open tonight at Edward Bok Technical High School, 1901 S. Ninth St. Directly addressing anguish, the piece will indirectly involve irony, as the host facility, itself a solution to Depression-era angst, will close in June. “The idea to explore different periods with similar setbacks proved too pressing to pass up,” Niemala, founder and director of the Manayunk-based CosaCosa art at large Inc., said Monday at the 75-year-old secondary institution. “What we have now is what our ancestors and predecessors had, namely, a time to look at what our country can do to pull together.” Her take on the need for expansive support will mark CosaCosa’s first collaboration with the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, whose overseers tabbed “If you had a time machine...” as their theme. The 105-minute creation will examine the Works Progress Administration, which President Franklin D. Roosevelt established in 1935 as part of his New Deal plan to revitalize the nation’s collective livelihood following the stock market crash six years prior. The federal government opened Bok in ’38 as a vocational location, and its student body complements a standard curriculum through nine career and technical education programs. “I definitely wanted a Works Progress building for the project,” Niemala said of selecting the East Passyunk Crossing site, an ’86 designee on the National Register of Historic Places. “That authentic aspect needed to be there.” Her 23-year-old organization has nurtured numerous unions with South Philly entities, including a thriving three-year partnership with Andrew Jackson School, 1213 S. 12th St., with whom it has designed a Garden of Diversity and is working on a rooftop garden, so Niemala met favor when courting Bok last year and set out to channel generational successes and

disappointments. Through 100 interviews with multiple populations, she and her colleagues gleaned tales proving that no matter one’s lot, humans share limitations that economic and social opportunities can mitigate. “What Kim has put together for us is fantastic,” tenor Victor Rodriguez, who plays The Builder, one of seven Depression-era characters, including Roosevelt, said of the songs. “There’s such emotion to them, and they really speak to present problems, too.” The tunes will team with audio interviews, recreated photographs of ’30s individuals by CosaCosa constituents and illustrations by Bok art instructor Steve Teare to set the senses to appreciating Philadelphians’ bonds despite the passage of time. Niemala ensured the high schoolers would engross themselves in the process by helping to establish a Depression- and Works Progress-specific syllabus. That doubled with discussions on contemporary matters such as drugs and bullying, the latter especially significant since the Anti-Defamation League last year designated Bok as a No Place for Hate torchbearer, to intensify comprehension of liberty and democracy. The learners used their increased knowl-

edge Works Progress-style d tto create t W k P t l postt ers bearing those issues and to design a giant rolling dime for use in the production, which will run through Saturday. With 90 pupils involved, many working as production assistants, Niemala knows her initial interaction with Bok will further her belief that tapping into commonalities within the global family sustains and advances art. “I’m eager to see how they enjoy the experience, especially the culinary students,” she said of the youngsters, who will prepare Depression-era recipes, such as Johnnycakes and milk toast, for the patrons. “They’ve worked as hard as anyone.” UNFORTUNATELY FOR NIEMALA, her first alliance with the teenagers will also go down as her only occasion to sample their work ethic. Through collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group, School District of Philadelphia Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. recommended Bok’s closure Dec. 13 as part of his employer’s Facilities Master Plan, with school-based speculation being that its age landed it on the list. After numerous

community sessions, the School Reform Commission decided March 7 to accept his suggestion to send the learners to South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., with the Lower Moyamensing site to continue the vocational tracks to which they have become accustomed. “The timeliness of our work really strikes me because of that ruling,” Niemala said. “We’ll be giving the last performances on a Works Progress stage and doing so in a work that lauds the WPA. That’s unique.” Along with counting as her introductory exposure to the beloved school, the trio of shows also marks a creative evolution for Niemala, with “Spare a Dime” as the first theatrical foray for CosaCosa, which through such funders as the Knight Arts Challenge and the National Endowment for the Arts, will use the interviews to create Site and Sound Gardens in North Philly this summer. That initiative, along with other designs and kudos such as the recent receipt of the Cohen Award for outstanding commitment to social and economic justice from the City’s Cultural Fund, helped to entice Phyllis Chapell, who will play The Farmer. “The work has this blend of despondency and ambition that touches the soul,” the mezzo-soprano said of her participation and the overall spirit of Niemala’s lyrics and notes, with Dickinson Square West resident and alto Sherria Watts as a Chorus of Liberty member and East Passyunk Crossing’s François Zayas as the percussionist. “Our characters come from many walks of life and are mostly Philadelphiabased to provide extra context.” With a little more than two months remaining in its tenure as an educational haven and a community beacon, Bok is providing Niemala with a lesson its textbooks hint at and the outside world solidifies, that sparing a dime and sharing one’s time serve the same function — the fostering of hope. “People need that,” she said. “I think that’s the most important bit we can take from the WPA. Whatever the era, hope must be abundant.” SPR

SPRING CLEANUP continued from page 1 Neighbors provided hot dogs, hamburgers, fruit and beverages for the volunteers, but there was a lot of preparation done prior to the event as well. “All week long I was recruiting people and explaining that volunteers are coming out to clean up our blocks, but we can’t do it all by ourselves — that we needed the participation from the neighborhood,” Roache said. The resident was astonished yet elated to see all of the young helpers taking part. “I was really shocked by all of the young people that came out because there was really a lot of them,” Roache said. “In the beginning, they were just watching then they started grabbing the brooms and [helped] clean up. Across the city more than 13,000 volunteers collected more than one million pounds of trash and 23,000 pounds of recyclables, according to the City. Back at Ringgold Street’s cleaning celebration, Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee clean block officer Bill Stern also was thrilled with the outcome. “It turned out really well. There was a lot of the community out here,” Stern said. “We had about 300 people out here cleaning from 9 a.m. and started to wind down around 11. We ended up with about 150 bags of trash out here that are getting picked up.” Despite the success of the first cleanup on the 1600 block of South Ringgold Street, residents felt this is just the beginning. Roache and neighbors, like Tim Jones who has lived on the block for 23 years, hope to hold more cleanups that will get the neighborhood involved, especially the younger residents. “The kids need something to do and having cleanups help keep them involved,” Jones said. “I think it would be better if we had cleanups later in the day so we can get more young people to help. For Roache, who is outside picking up trash everyday, caring for the block is crucial. “It is important that we keep our neighborhoods clean, this is where we live and we need to help keep it clean everyday,” Roache said. ABOUT A MILE away, busses dropped off Drexel and Bucknell universities students and alumni at the Schuylkill River to volunteer with residents cleaning up South Philly’s relatively new waterfront trail addition. Focusing on the Schuylkill River Trail’s Grays Ferry Crescent portion, Wharton Street and Schuylkill Avenue, the cleanup spanned from 34th and Wharton streets to the eastern edge of the river.

Mayor Michael A. Nutter, center, joined the clean-up crew on the 1600 block of South Ringgold Street to clear three vacant lots and perform a painting project. The central Pennsylvania and University City higher-education facilities have played an active role in different volunteer programs that the Schuylkill River Development Corp. has held over the years. “We have over a hundred people signed up today, including a huge number [of students] from Drexel Universtiy as well as a large Bucknell alumni group,” Joshua Nims, Operations Manager of, the University City-based nonprofit overseeing the river’s revitalization, said Saturday. The organization’s employees were excited to hold their first Philly Spring Cleanup at the Southern end of the trail, which opened in June with areas for visitors to picnic, sit or fish. “We love doing the spring cleanup every year,” Danielle Gray, its director of marketing and development, said. “This is the first year we have concentrated our efforts down here rather than Center City and we had a fantastic team come out.” The group hoped the cleanup would help to introduce the trail to more residents and get them involved with the park, where it plans to hold future summer movie nights on the Crescent at the Grays Ferry Esplanade, which will connect to Southwest Philly’s Bartram Gardens and expand between South and Catharine streets in the near future. “This is the first time the Philly Spring Cleanup has been held since this trail has been open, so we really wanted to engage

the community, introduce people to the park and trail. Also, this is a big section of the trail that still needs a lot of landscaping,” Gray said. Throughout the morning there were different groups working on different tasks, such as picking up trash, weeding, mulching and painting old fire hydrants. With such a great turnout, some residents, who originally came to the trail to walk or to go fishing, approached the group leaders to ask how they can volunteer. For some residents, like Jim Gora, volunteering Saturday was a way to give back to the new place he and his wife could walk their dog everyday. “I have been living here for 38 years, and we have never had this trail,” the resident of 36th and Reed streets said. “To see what they did here is amazing. It does a lot for the city and for our neighborhood. It’s a great thing they’ve done down here. That involvement from community members is the key to keeping a park for the people. “Once you have a park down here, you have to get people engaged on volunteer days. Seeing people who are already down here to fish and decide to help is amazing,” Nims said. “You cannot have a park without community support, so it’s important to have days like today.” SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

our City Council members have teamed up with a group of citizens demanding answers about the new property tax assessments. The Crosstown Coalition of Taxpayers — a group consisting of 22 civic associations from across the city — has teamed up with 1st District Councilman Mark Squilla, 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, 3rd District Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell and Councilman at large Jim Kenney asking how the City determined assessments for the Actual Value Initiative. Johnson notes there are assessment inconsistencies and inaccuracies for similar homes on the same blocks in his district. “There’s a flaw in the formula for AVI,” he said in a statement. “People want to know, ‘How did the City come up with the assessed value for my home? It’s up to the administration to explain the formula. In the meantime, I will keep advocating until AVI is done right.”

t takes a talented actor with a strong stage presence to change the mood of an entire audience. That particularly is Kash Goins’ challenge as he plays the role of Bobo in Arden Theatre Co.’s production of “A Raisin in the Sun.” Goins’ short role in the drama, which runs at the Old City venue through April 21, is crucial to its plot. An African-American family in Chicago’s South Side receives a life insurance check, but there are conflicting aspirations of what to do with the wad of cash. The wife of the deceased wants to buy a home for the first time, the daughter wants to use it for medical school and the son wants to invest in a liquor business. In the midst of a celebration of change for the low-income family, Bobo breaks the news: The money has been stolen. Sadness spreads throughout the theater as the family’s hearts are broken.

LIFESTYLES “The challenge is there’s this festive mood in the house ... and I almost have to come off with a dark cloud where the audience and the characters — everybody is discovering at once, something’s wrong,” Goins said. “[It’s] like flipping a switch without me ever saying a word, and then I have to deliver this news and then help support it all the way through this devastation. It is very challenging but I like it, I like challenging roles.” GOINS, A NATIVE of 23rd and Moore streets, said the only thing he does in North Wilmington, Del., where he currently resides, is sleep at night. “I’m from South Philly,” Goins, 39, said. “That’s who I am. That’s what I represent. I’m so proud of that.” Goins’ father, known as “Mr. Leroy” back in the day, ran the Point Breeze Civic Association. “The way I grew up, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night pretty much all year round my father ran the neighborhood basketball league,” he said. “So he was everybody’s father. You know in that neighborhood not a lot of people had fathers and a lot of people looked up to Mr. Leroy so that was the structure that I grew up in.” Drugs and violence surrounded him, but his father’s role in keeping everyone in the

community involved helped him to stay grounded. “I love that because I think it’s made me a whole person,” he said. Goins remembers enacting scenes from movies and putting on impromptu plays with friends on the steps of his childhood home. He also used to read with “a dramatic flair” in his English class at South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., prompting his teacher to encourage him to get into drama. He even used to sign up to see all of the plays in Philly in an effort to achieve “cultural points” for Southern’s Southwark Motivation Annex. However, he never knew the arts were for him until his junior year at Lincoln University where he graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor’s degree in business administration. Coincidentally, Goins’ firstever audition was for his college’s “A Raisin in the Sun” staging. “This play is so funny. It’s relevant to how it ties up a whole bunch of loose ends,” Goins said, adding that he was invited to audition at Arden because of his relationship with director Walter Dallas, whom he used to work with at North Philly’s Freedom Theatre. The Keystone Mercy account execu-

tive by day and actor, writer and producer by night founded GoKash Productions in 2008 and two years later created the annual Philly Urban Theatre Festival, in which he produces the work of several playwrights. This year, his event, which mimics New York’s Downtown Urban Theater Festival where Goins has won numerous awards, will be held in September at Center City’s Plays & Players Theatre. Juggling his business and arts careers as well as his family — a wife of 15 years and three children — has been a challenge, but he is finally realizing he can’t do everything at once. “The balance is interesting because there are times where I just say, ‘Hey, I just want to act for a while,’ so I will act in like five or six different plays,” Goins said. “Then it’s like ‘I’m ready to produce something,’ so then I’ll produce a show or two for a month or so. And then there are times where I don’t do anything but just spend all my time between work and family. It’s kind of an intuitive thing.” Goins feels fortunate that he rarely auditions for a part and doesn’t get cast. Crediting his good judgement in only picking parts he thinks he will succeed in and doing work that people like, Goins only recalls about three times where he went for

something and didn’t get it throughout his 20-year career. He tends to be cast for deeply conflicted, dramatic roles. “I think part of that is whatever my skills set is, it fits me to be able to bring out the reality, the vulnerability and what’s supposed to be strong men in weak moments,” he said. Goins said it’s difficult to be an AfricanAmerican actor in Philly as there isn’t a lot of work for him, and when there is, a lot of local companies often cast people from New York. “Arden is good because once you do get in and establish your talent and your reputation, they keep going back ... like I’ve already been booked for a show for next season, and that’s just off of my work here. I didn’t even have to audition for it,” he said. “A Raisin in the Sun” was first performed at Center City’s Walnut Street Theatre before it went to Broadway in 1959. Last year, Arden showed Clybourne Park, a play written in response to “A Raisin in the Sun.” Good reception peaked the company’s interest in showing writer Lorraine Hansberry’s piece again in Philly. “I would like to work with Arden more, every time I get the call,” Goins said.

A civil right

L

as crazy by the old world. It is now commonplace for heterosexual couples who can’t procreate to marry. Meanwhile gay couples not only are adopting and raising children, but through new fertilization techniques can procreate as well. Often overlooked by opponents is that marriage is both a civil and religious institution. The State does not require couples to be married in a church. No one, certainly not the gay community, suggests that churches be forced to marry gay couples. This is one of the key elements of why religious beliefs should not trump the civil right of same-sex couples. You do not have the right to define marriage for non-members of your church. While you may be offended by the idea of same-sex marriage, that should carry no weight in society granting that right to same-sex couples anymore than being offended by interracial marriage should trump interracial couples from marrying. Granting the right to marry to same-sex couples does not adversely affect your rights. If the court finds your rights are not diminished, than you have no dog in this hunt if you are straight. The right to equal protection before the law is guaranteed, but there is no corresponding right for you and those who hold similar opinions to not be offended. Many observers on both sides of this issue believe the court will wind up protecting the legalization of same-sex marriage in states, but not obligate the federal government to recognize it. While some would cheer that result, I would not. The civil right to marry should not be left up to each state. We fought the Civil War, in large part, over whether the Union could exist half slave and half free. I am afraid that if we left our basic rights up to the ballot box, civil rights would not fare well, even today. The idea that you could be considered married in one state, but not another is repugnant. Besides many of the benefits that go along with being legally married are federal benefits, it seems to me, mandating a decision for a federal civil right to marry is the only just and legal outcome. We live in a state that has been described by James Carville as Philadelphia on one side, Pittsburgh on the other and Alabama in between. Realistically, what hope would any gay couple living in Pennsylvania have of being able to marry within their lifetime in this state? Pundits say the time isn’t right politically for the federal government to grant marriage rights to all of its citizens. They fear a terrible backlash. The polls don’t back them up. My wife and I recently attended a memorial for a gay friend who was with his partner for 65 years. And yet they never enjoyed the same right to marry as someone such as Kim Kardashian.

Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) left his permanent mark on the game of baseball as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Barrier breaker ■ By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

M

ovies like “42”— those that chronicle historical tales about people of color — are always tricky endeavors. One need look no further than “The Help” to see that there’s a fine line between accurately portraying the offensiveness of a racist-laden time, and offensively portraying that offensiveness via the whitedominated tropes of modern Hollywood. Ostensibly, Brian Helgeland’s “42,” about the heroic rise of Jackie Robinson, has all the trappings of the latter, with an invaluable white mentor, baseball exec Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), elevated to sainthood, and a protagonist (Chadwick Boseman), as the magical, crowd-pleasing negro that’s been a stereotype for decades. The difference here is that Robinson genuinely seems to have been magical indeed, and although Helgeland syrups up his production to drive that notion home (no pun intended), the true story has an inherent power largely immune to filmic fluff, offensive or otherwise. Also written by the director, “42,” named for Robinson’s Brooklyn Dodgers number, charts the icon’s 1940sera journey to become the first professional black baseball player, a climb that would require him to endure vicious intolerance from crowds, opponents, press and even his own teammates. Poor beginnings make the film initially unpromising, as its dialogue is trite and tagline-packed (“Money isn’t black or white; it’s green,” Rickey quips), and Ford’s performance, though somewhat transformative, is still marked by the same bland growling he’s been peddling for years. Boseman, meanwhile, brings great dimension to Robinson, and lovely Nicole Beharie, as Robinson’s wife, refuses to fade into

the background, fleetingly holding in her face all the pain of the period’s inequality. As it progresses, “42” picks up a wealth of fervent momentum, boasting grippingly filmed game sequences, touching camaraderies that form among team members and rousing triumphs for the leading man. Of course, it’s all filtered through the Hollywood machine, with audience-friendly uplift and convenient villain comeuppances, but the fact-based material maintains an impermeable dignity, making the movie less a retrospective flick to make white folks feel better, and more a remarkable addition to the baseball-film canon, which has long been intertwined with Americana.

Directors Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon team up to deliver this nearuniversally-lauded documentary, which recounts the 1989 case of five black and Latino teenagers, who were wrongfully convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park, and spent years behind bars despite their innocence. Based on Sarah Burns’ book, the doc is hugely compelling and eye-opening. SPR Comment and see the trailers for this week’s movies at southphillyreview.com/arts-and-entertainment/movies.

et me state this is as clearly as possible. As a straight person, I have no right to oppose same-sex marriage. If you are straight, neither do you. That might seem harsh so let me pose an analogy. A white person living in the 1950s, had no right to disapprove of an AfricanAmerican’s right to vote in the Deep South. The right to vote, eat at any public restaurant and use any public swimming pool is a civil right, not one that is subject to a vote. In the same way, the right to marry is not yours to grant; it is a civil right. I am not naive. Public opinion is extremely important. It was important when Americans saw pictures of Bull Connor unleashing police dogs and fire hoses on African-American protesters in Birmingham, Ala., on their televisions. Connor unwittingly made the cause of civil rights sympathetic to white America. Favorable public opinion enabled lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that outlawed major forms of racial discrimination. It so happens that public opinion on same-sex marriage in the last few years has stunningly moved in its favor. No, I am not equating the harshness of racial segregation with gays’ right to marry, but the opposition to both has had deep roots in both our cultural and religious institutions. Don’t forget that the Southerners’ rationale for racial segregation often came from their interpretation of the Bible. As public opinion now strongly favors approval of gay marriage, politicians from both parties are falling into line. We will see in a few months whether the Supreme Court decides in its favor, but anyone who believes that courts are moved only by legalistic arguments would be greatly mistaken.Yet the feeling persists among many politicians and some of the gay community that the right for gays to marry appropriately be left to the ballot box. Part of this viewpoint is because of a misperception about marriage. Some persist in viewing the principal right to marry as based on procreation and raising children and therefore being limited only to heterosexual couples. But history shows us that marriage is an evolving institution. The Western concept of marriage has come a long way from the days when it was an arranged business deal between two families. The very concept of marrying for love and companionship would have been viewed

Bariatric surgery may be the answer. “As a single mother, the most important thing is to be there for my son. It was hard for me to admit that, when it came to my weight, I might need someone supporting me. After years of struggling with the ups and downs of ineffective dieting, I made the decision to go to Jefferson. Their Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery team made me feel completely comfortable and have continued to be my biggest cheerleader, with monthly support groups that have helped me lose – and keep off – 115 pounds. It’s great to know that I am healthy enough to be there for my son. And that Jefferson will be there for me.” Read my entire story and register to attend one of the free seminars listed below at jeffersonhospital.org/myweightloss Jefferson at Voorhees: April 23 Jefferson’s Methodist Hospital: April 30

The Victoria Freehouse is an authentic British pub with a menu that features some favorites from across the Atlantic. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

A hallmark of this pie is its marvelous, savory flavor. The chef used parsnips in this dish, which cooked to such a degree of sweetness, that’s all the flavor I could taste. After it spent some time being reheated, Edward finished it. I ordered a small fish and chips ($12). Cod was used, and I confess it was juicy and flaked easily with a fork, but it lacked seasoning. The batter was a bit too thick, but this is a matter of personal preference. I sprinkled a bit of malt vinegar on the chips, which were hot, a little crisp and not overly salted. Service was friendly and attentive. The host and two servers took care of everyone in the pub. I wish the fare at The Victoria Freehouse = Very Good

was seasoned to enhance the flavor of the ingredients. We were attacked with the pepper mill a few times, but I don’t think freshly ground black pepper adds anything to bland food. When we received our bill, the host told us the fish and chips was on the house. Two tips of the toque to The Victoria Freehouse. SPR

ast week, Michael Klein celebrated 20 years of penning the “Table Talk” column in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Klein, whom I met during a Book and the Cook dinner around that time, wrote with nostalgia about the glory days of Philadelphia dining. He interviewed a number of chefs and restaurant owners who offered opinions on the past and present. His column was extended on the Inquirer’s website. Klein mentioned La Truffe, my favorite French restaurant of the ’90s that now houses The Victoria Freehouse. I clearly recall the celebrated recreation of a truly extraordinary French dinner based on the meal featured in “Babette’s Feast,” the Oscar-winning foreign film, held at La Truffe. When it closed, I shed a few culinary tears. I never heard of The Victoria Freehouse, so I decided to pay a visit. The simple beauty and elegance of La Truffe has given way to a long bar and simple wooden tables set with votive candles. The original brick wall and tin ceiling remain intact. A rugby match was on TV, which quickly gave way to the Flyers game. As is the custom with so many places, it was dark in the dining room. The congenial host helped Edward and me navigate through the long beer list. We selected a Newcastle Founders’ Ale ($6), which I enjoyed for its light citrus flavor, and a Black Cab Stout ($7.50), which imparted a richer taste. Pubs are popping up everywhere. My favorite is The Dandelion, which sets the standard whenever I decide to have lunch

or dinner in one. The sausage roll ($6) was a tasty starter that consisted of a seasoned sausage wrapped in flakey pastry and served with whole-grain mustard. One may not think a liver parfait ($10) would wind up in a British pub, but our friends across the pond do enjoy offal. A nicely prepared chicken liver mousse was laced with sherry, set in a small, round ramekin, covered in caul fat and chilled. Sherry adds a lovely flavor to liver or even kidneys. The dish was set on a board along with toasted oval croutons and small dollops of pickled onions and sweet cherries. I liked this combination of slightly sweet and pungent together here. We shared a Victoria salad ($12) that was thoughtfully split in the kitchen and consisted of ordinary bagged mesclun topped with slab bacon, candied walnuts, sweet cranberries, red onion, a pickled egg and marvelous Stilton, known as the king of British cheeses. The salad lacked seasoning, but a sprinkling of salt helped. At this point, a server brought a bottle of HP sauce, a jar of Coleman’s mustard and a shaker bottle of malt vinegar to the table. These condiments form the base of nearly every pub meal. We decided to share the shepherd’s pie ($17). I have eaten this dish throughout the United Kingdom and at The Dandelion. A proper version is made with seasoned minced lamb, onions, peas and carrots and topped with creamy mashed potatoes. The description on the menu said root vegetables, which is fine. It was cold and so sweet that I could not enjoy it.

Rex 1516’s Pimento Cheese

Chef Justin Swain

Rex 1516 Owners: Jill Weber and Evan Malone Opened March 6, 2012 1516 South St. 267-319-1366 rex1516.com

head chef at Rex 1516, 1516 South St. He has since wrapped up his studies and graduated as the class valedictorian. “I was able to keep my grades up even though I was here 85 hours a week,” the 2005 grad of High School for Creative and Performing Arts, 901 S. Broad St., said of taking over the Southerninfluenced restaurant. He began as its line cook, moving up to sous-chef last summer under Regis Jansen, who stepped down due to an illness in December. “Regis leaving was tough, but ... getting the chance was exciting I’m a very confident person so I knew I could do it,” Swain, who also worked at 1601, Jansen’s former cafe at 1601 S. 10th St., and Bridget Foy’s, 200 South St., said. His inspiration for adding Pimento Cheese, a sauce often found in Southern cuisine, to the South Street eatery’s burger came when he was preparing a topping for his

own sandwich, so he included it on the eatery’s spring menu — his first since taking over. “I feel I want the people to eat what the chef eats, and Pimento Cheese definitely was it,” the Mayfair native who now resides at Passyunk and Tasker streets said. As of now, the burger is the only menu item on which the sauce appears at Rex 1516, which will begin its three-day 1-year anniversary tonight with a crawfish boil and live jazz, although Swain is working on a bar menu on which he is considering a grilled pimento cheese sandwich. “I love the pimento so I don’t see any problems and who knows where I’ll use it going forward,” he said.

In Todd we trust An East Passyunk Crossing school student will look to leap to glory at the Penn Relays. ■ By Joseph Myers R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

W

HE HAD FAVORED the longer endurance tests because they gave him chances to “duke it out” mentally with his competitors, yet the instant lure of hurdling led him to become a gravity defier. He began his acclimatization by racing the 200-meters before settling on the 60-, 110-, 300- and 400-meter journeys. His April 10 acceptance into the

Todd Townsend hopes to add to his abundant medal collection when going against top runners from across the country and Caribbean islands. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

Penn Relays, the nation’s oldest and largest track and field competition, gave him yet another accolade in his farewell high school campaign. In February’s Philadelphia Catholic Indoor Championships at Lehigh University, he claimed second place in the 200-meter dash and broke his own parochial record to secure the 60-meter title. Competing in the same events at Feb. 23’s Penn State University-situated Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association State Championships, he registered seventh- and third-place finishes, respectively, before turning his attention to the outdoor season. The latter has proven equally invigorating, as March 30’s Pennsylvania Track Classic at Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School brought him top honors in the 110-meter hurdles and a second-place commendation in his 300-meter assignment. “I’m very happy my commitment

has helped me to produce solid times,” Townsend, who in his second Penn Relays will compete in the 400-meter hurdles and the 4x100 and 4x400 races, said of his thus far stellar swan song. “I feel stronger now than at any point in the year, so when we’re there, I plan on winning.” Triumphing has become customary but never arrogance-inducing for the Delaware County dweller, who last month received placement on numerous all-state squads. Having taken up hurdling roughly four years ago, he has used the discipline as a metaphor for overcoming adversity, which has done its best to hamper his hopes. A rich football and track and field history helped West to win his services, with the gridiron occupying him for one season. His freshman year running efforts experienced a setback because of a torn hip flexor, though the injury intensified rather than drained his motivation.

aat southphillyreview.com/blogs.php “I really exploded my sophomore year,” he said of a stretch that yielded firstplace kudos in the 300-meter hurdles and second-place laurels in the 110-meter challenge at the Catholic League championships and a sweep of those distances at the District 12 PIAA championships and the state competition. “Being on big stages helped to give me a great amount of perspective, too.” He fraternized with other greats at the 2011 AAU Junior Olympics in New Orleans ahead of his junior year and made that penultimate season of high school eligibility another medal- and pride-bearing span, winning the Catholic League’s 60-meter indoor hurdles and finishing fifth in the state pageant. A hamstring issue affected his outdoor season, but he still scooped up honors in the Catholic League’s and District 12’s 110- and 300-meter tasks, setting records in each, and crossed the line first and third in the state contest’s same lengths. He also gave Neumann-Goretti a taste of his tenacity last summer by notching a third-place Junior Olympics 100-meter hurdles commendation in Humble, Texas. “I’ve never been naturally speedy and do my best to work on my starts, especially with the competitions left,” Townsend said. No matter how the Saints fare in their 4x100 endeavor April 26, his day will be celebratory, as he will sign with North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. “The coaching staff really stood out, as well as a chance to contribute early on,” he said of selecting the Tar-Heel-State school from many suitors. “I’m very excited to learn from them.” Townsend might major in criminal justice to further his desire to be a FBI employee, but before the novelty of college life commences, he will further investigate his ambition at next week’s races and next month’s parochial championships. “I’m fortunate to have chances to compete,” he said, “so I always expect to make the most of them.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

hen the Archdiocese of Philadelphia considered closing West Catholic High School last year, Todd Townsend immediately sought potential new institutions to further his academic and athletic promise. The entity would spare the facility, but opportunities to excel at Ss. NeumannGoretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., proved so alluring he chose to transfer. He hopes to tout that cherished decision even more next weekend when he participates in three events at the 119th Penn Relays taking place at the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field. “I definitely came here to be a leader,” the 18-year-old senior track star said last week at his East Passyunk Crossing secondary education site. “Many schools looked for me to join them, but I just felt I could thrive the most here.” The Collingdale resident has enjoyed the new setting in part because it has kept him in close contact with his father, Lincoln Townsend, the Saints track and field coach, who likewise guided the teenager at West. “It’s great to have his input and support from my mom, Joenette, who helped him to start the Delco Stallions,” the young adult said of the Amateur Athletic Union club he competes for in the summer. Having guided his competitive maturation for 13 years, the patriarch can take credit for Townsend’s initial interest in distance running but must defer to another for his son’s current obsession, hurdles. “I had never thought about trying them,” the younger Townsend said of a friend’s suggestion to add another chore to his legs’ labors. “When I began to, I found I had to get accustomed to more technical aspects, with form being first.”
