The Germantown Branch of Settlement Music School, 6128 Germantown Ave., will host an Open House Saturday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. to noon. The event will offer interested locals the chance to experience the school’s ensembles and classes as well as hear performances by many of the groups that meet and are coached at Settlement, both classical and jazz.
Branch Director Eric Anderson said that there will be demonstrations by the branch’s dance ensembles, music workshops and play shops, as well as opportunities to schedule appointments to register. Among the new offerings at the Germantown Branch will be a soprano-alto-tenor-bass choir for high school students to be directed by Suzanne Sweeney. Both Sweeney and children’s choir director Rae Ann Anderson will be at the Open House to answer any questions.
Among the “graduates” of the branch’s Children’s Music Workshop is Germantown Friends School student Matthew Flynn, 15, who first enrolled when he was 3 years old. “It was a group class for pre-school aged children,” the sophomore recalled. “We learned basic music theory as well as rhythm and movement.”
Matthew then began piano lessons with Lois DiDomenico. “After a year or two playing the Suzuki books,” he said, “I began playing other types of classical music. In particular, I remember enjoying Kabalevsky’s ‘Sonatina,’ Opus 27, no. 18. Ms. Lois was a demanding yet nurturing piano teacher, always making sure that I was playing not only the right notes but with proper expression, dynamics and the most beautiful tone possible.” Matthew then moved on to more complex repertoire as well as some ragtime and jazz duets with fellow students. His curriculum included ear training, which helped him as a singer.
“When I was 10 years old,” he continued, “I joined the Keystone State Boychoir. I had to learn a number of songs before becoming an official member. While I was learning them, Ms. Lois would use the first five to 10 minutes of the lesson to play the melodies together to make sure I was singing them correctly. She subsequently came to several of the choir’s concerts, and I really enjoyed having her there.”
Another “branching out” occurred when Matthew began studying jazz piano with Scott Coulter at Settlement’s Wynnefield Branch, learning about the structure of music for purposes of improvisation. “With classical music,” Matthew said, “you are interpreting the music as it is written, but with jazz, there isn’t too much that’s written, just the melody and chords, so you have to know enough music theory to read what’s written and then turn it into something people can appreciate. I wanted to learn more about music theory and focus a little less on perfecting each individual song I played.”
That thirst for a deeper knowledge of what makes music tick brought Matthew back to the Germantown Branch to study composition with Michael Stambaugh. “I’ve always had a little part of me moving toward composition from the beginning of my musical studies,” he explained. “But as odd as it sounds, the reason I’m now interested in composition comes from video games. I’ve been playing video games for all my childhood, and as I matured I started to notice the background music. I began to appreciate how the music complements the events of the game, so for about a year and a half I have been composing orchestral music in the style of a video game soundtrack. Then I began to take an interest in musical composition in a broader sense than just soundtracks, so I decided to seek formal instruction with Mike. I hope to continue with him throughout my high school years.”
Although his plans may change, Matthew hopes to be a double major in college: music composition and computer science, expressing a hope to become a successful composer of soundtracks. “I love the idea of taking a moment in a movie or video game, filled with emotion, and adding music to it that heightens that emotion enough to greatly affect the audience.”
Speaking of Matthew, Michael Stambaugh said, “Matthew is a model student. His questions reveal a curiosity and passion that are important for a young composer to succeed and grow. He is completely open to new ideas, methods and philosophies. His music is thoughtful and, most importantly, it sounds good.”
Settlement Executive Director Helen Eaton concurred. “Settlement is so proud to support the musical development of Matthew,” she said. “His passion, dedication and musical abilities are truly inspiring.”
Explaining his 12-year tenure as a Settlement student, Matthew said, “I’ve always had a great interesting in music, playing multiple instruments and composing, and I feel that Settlement has been a good place to discover and nurture those many interests. They took the time to understand me as a musician.”

AN APPRECIATION
For any Chestnut Hill classical music lover old enough to remember the original Bach Festival, founded by the late Michael Korn in 1974, the name of harpsichordist Temple Painter is a familiar one. Painter, who was born in 1933, died Aug. 6.
Painter was a founding member of the Concerto Soloists of Philadelphia, the ensemble now known as the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, founded in 1964 by Marc Mostovoy. It was part of the initial phase of the Baroque Revival launched by the legendary harpsichordist Wanda Landowska who, like Painter, played on a modern hybrid version of the baroque keyboard predecessor of the piano. The Concerto Soloists also played on modern instruments and not on the period instruments preferred by many baroque music ensembles today.
Together with Korn, who founded the Philadelphia Singers in 1971, Mostovoy’s instrumentalists joined forces with Korn’s choristers to focus attention on the repertoire of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries. They presented scores of concerts here in Chestnut Hill, most of which took place in either of Chestnut Hill’s two Episcopal Churches, St. Paul’s and St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Painter was a seminal figure in virtually all of those performances, projecting the figured bass foundation of concerti, suites, cantatas and Bach’s monumental St. Matthew and St. John Passions and the Mass in B minor.
Temple Painter’s life was celebrated with a Latin Requiem Mass Friday, Aug. 19, in the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul according to the ancient liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. Though somewhat in need of aesthetic restoration, the Basilica’s glorious acoustics resounded with the sublime sounds of Gregorian chant sung by Nicholas Beck and Timothy McDonnell, melodies that formed the genesis of the baroque repertoire Temple Painter loved and performed. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/25/student-from-gfs-15-already-making-mark-as-composer/ | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/8ee049f8d6158110b0afa8eda7a17c30a99548d46ebbaeae71c67835fb4ba35f.json |

After piloting the upper school volleyball program for six years, Coach Heather Hoehn won’t be back courtside at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy this fall, but she has left the sport on solid footing at the local school. A bumper crop of 30 Blue Devil spikers and setters assembled in the gym for the start of pre-season practice last week.
New head coach Randy Syracuse brings with him 40 years of experience in the game and is on the coaching staff of the East Coast Power club organization, the off-season home of most of the top players at Germantown Academy and Mount St. Joseph Academy.
His own playing experience included an NCAA Final Four appearance with Rutgers University and several years spent performing in the professional leagues in Europe. He has coached at almost every level of collegiate and scholastic competition.
Assistant coach Jess Stokes had a standout career at Shipley School, and after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 2014, she returned to coach at Shipley. At SCH, she’ll get to know her players and other students outside of the gym, since she’ll be working full time at the school’s Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.
With the strong turnout for the volleyball squad thus far, there may even be another coach added to the SCH staff.
The graduation losses from the 2015 Blue Devils varsity team were spread around the court, as hitter Anad Aidid, setter Marissa Pownall, and defensive specialist Drew Kevitch departed with their diplomas.
One of the juniors on the team last fall has not come back out to play for the Blue Devils. The three current seniors, Catie McDermott, Katie Suplick, and Alivia Villari, will serve as the team captains in the upcoming campaign. There are also three juniors who saw a lot of varsity time last fall, Clara Domanska, Rachel Kazlauskas, and Kayla McTamney.
Many of the Blue Devil volleyball veterans spend the spring sports season playing softball, another sport that requires good eye/hand coordination.
Last fall, the SCH netters finished the regular season with an overall record of 11-11, although they did not fare quite as well within the Inter-Ac League. The Devils bowed to George School in the first round of the Pennsylvania Independent Schools tournament. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/29/new-players-and-coaches-for-sch-volleyball/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/c7dd4710b05ef536f6d5cdcc8e1a0cdc711954409606cb7b5585374ccc05452f.json |

At the end of August, Chestnut Hill resident Linda Baldwin, 75, will no longer be one of the friendly faces at Kilian’s Hardware. After over 11 years of working behind the counter part-time, Baldwin is retiring.
“Many customers will be asking for Linda, who has worked with dedication as a cashier at Kilian’s for many years,” said owner/manager Russell Goudy, Jr. “She was instrumental in making sure every customer was helped by the right person and every phone call was answered properly. We will miss Linda and hope she continues on as a customer.”
Kilian’s was a natural fit for Baldwin. “As a child, I followed my dad around as he repaired toilets, lamps, locks, built a shed and performed little odd jobs around the house,” said Baldwin. “I wanted to learn how to use all of his power tools but was told that ‘girls don’t do that.’ After I was married, I got my own power tools and taught myself to repair stuff. My mother-in-law wasn’t too happy when she found me sawing off the bottom of a door when I was pregnant.”
Originally from Elkins Park, Baldwin attended Cheltenham High and received a bachelor’s degree in Music from Temple University. Following her marriage, she moved to Chestnut Hill in 1970. “We rented a tall stone house on East Mermaid Lane surrounded by fields which soon became the Market Square Shopping Center and Chestnut Hill Village townhouses,” she recalled. Baldwin taught music at Abington Friends School, then opened a piano studio in her home on West Springfield Avenue.
“My daughter, Emily, a student at Germantown Friends School, came home after school, usually with a friend, and played in her room or outside while I gave lessons. I still see many of my former students and their parents when they come into Kilian’s to shop.”
Over the years, Baldwin became a realtor and worked at various administrative jobs. Back in the 1980s, while living in Bloomington, Indiana, she launched her own handywoman business. “I called myself Jill of All Trades,” she said, “and traveled around town in my old blue VW van, filled with tools and materials, helping people to fix up their homes — a little plumbing, some electrical work, painting, wallpapering, reparations, gutter cleaning, and general carpentry.”
In 2000, Baldwin returned to Philadelphia to be near her daughter and grandchildren. Despite changes in careers and locations, there has been one constant in her life. Baldwin’s love of music.
“I was a piano major at Temple but picked up the violin later. I play the French horn, currently playing horn in the Settlement Music School Adult Orchestra, and I play violin in the Independence Sinfonia, a chamber orchestra,” she said. “I have also sung with most of the large choirs in the Philadelphia area over the years, including singing with the Philadelphia Orchestra many times and under a variety of great conductors.”
Filling free time won’t be a problem for Baldwin. “I look forward to doing more of what I am already enjoying: pickle ball, Scrabble, crossword puzzles, Sudoku and large jigsaw puzzles.” But, wait, there’s more! Baldwin is a language buff who wants to improve her German and Spanish and just maybe pick up some Korean.
A bicycle enthusiast who can be seen pedaling around the Hill on her white electric bike, Baldwin previously embarked upon a five-month cycling/camping trip across Europe, and in 2007 she biked through Southern France with her grandsons. Her last great cycling adventure was six years ago, at the age of 69 when she biked and camped through New Zealand. “It’s the most beautiful country with the friendliest people ever,” said Baldwin.
“There are also classes I’d like to take. Now when I read through the MALT catalogue, instead of merely circling all the classes that look interesting, I’ll actually sign up and take them.”
Baldwin also plans to do more home entertaining. “I love to mix together all kinds of people who don’t necessarily know each other but who find things in common when they meet,” she said. “If I find I don’t have enough to fill my days, I would like to help adults learn to read or teach ESL (English as a Second Language).”
In spite of all the new adventures ahead, Baldwin is wistful about leaving her position at Kilian’s. “I loved being a part of the pulse of the community. At Kilian’s we heard all the latest news first, sometimes even before it hit the Local. I’ve met so many interesting and fun people and made many friends. I will miss this aspect of working there.”
Don’t worry about saying your “goodbyes.” After her retirement, Baldwin will continue to frequent local shops, pedal around town on her bike and participate fully in all Chestnut Hill has to offer. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/25/musician-75-jill-of-all-trades-leaving-kilians/ | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/20ebb52c689900c9a622a6c62da55497f827be8c918daa0d7ac43d013b83e5c4.json |

After years of abandonment, Chestnut Hill’s historic Greylock Mansion, at 208 W. Chestnut Hill Ave., is going up for sheriff’s sale on Sept. 13 for $98,000. The mansion’s owner, Greylock Holdings LLC, has defaulted on the mortgage and is delinquent on three years of taxes, totaling nearly $90,000 as of 2016.
After being vacant and vandalized for nearly a decade, Greylock has an opportunity to be saved from falling into disrepair. There’s just one small catch for some potential buyers: As a historical property, Greylock has conservation easements protecting it from most development.
There are two main easements on the property. The first protects the grounds of the mansion, preventing any development of the green space and controlling water runoff into the Wissahickon Watershed. The second easement protects the façade of the mansion and the carriage house, citing them as significant buildings in Chestnut Hill’s Historic Register.
“Those easements are written in blood, in my opinion,” said Brad Bank, a resident of West Chestnut Hill Avenue and a member of the Chestnut Hill Historical Society. “CHHS and the Friends of the Wissahickon have a responsibility to vigorously defend the easements.”
Wyndmoor resident Jack Bellis was originally interested in buying the property at the sheriff’s sale, but the easements were a deterrent for him.
“I believe the easements make it so unappealing that it might not sell at all or it might crumble to dust before people buy it,” Bellis said.
Bellis explained that he wanted to buy the mansion with a few of his friends as partners to split the cost of the restoration, utilities and $36,000 a year in taxes. His plan was to turn the inside of the mansion into as many as nine condominiums. With the easements and the expensive upkeep, however, Bellis said he and his partners may not be able to buy Greylock.
Though the easements allow for up to 12 units to be built in the mansion and carriage house, the site only has 11 possible parking spaces, and the conservation easements protect against adding any more impervious blacktops—a stipulation the neighbors of the mansion are particularly keen on seeing upheld.
For many of the easement stipulations, the phrase is “with CHHS approval.” In other words, a developer or future owner can propose a number of changes to the property that would comply with some of the easements, but the CHHS still holds the power to veto their proposal.
Bank explained that CHHS often allows developers to propose amendments to easements on properties around Chestnut Hill, but they rarely agree to them. Their attitude of “anything is possible” can be misleading to developers and homeowners. Bank said he wants CHHS to be tougher with people upfront and say that they will only hear proposals that abide by the easements.
“Our policy on amending conservation easements only permits us to amend the easements if it enhances the conservation value,” said CHHS’s Board Vice-President of easements Karren DeSeve.
CHHS Executive Director Lori Salganicoff added, “It is unusual for us to amend an easement, but we have done that in the past to accommodate appropriate change where conservation benefits. We are open to scenarios that would improve the conservation benefit and usefulness of the property.”
Salganicoff hopes to balance the views and interests of both potential developers and concerned preservationists.
“We need to be really clear as early as possible with what would be appropriate [for the site],” she said. “At the same time, we need to allow for creative thinking.”
Built by Pittsburgh Steel magnate Henry Laughlin in 1909, Greylock is situated on more than five acres of land. The three-story mansion was designed by William J. Carpenter and constructed with stone quarried on the property. Eventually, the property was sold to an order of nuns, and the mansion became a nursing home for more than 50 years.
Greylock was then bought by USABancShares (also known as Nova Bank) to be used as a corporate headquarters. The company negotiated with the Chestnut Hill Historical Society (CHHS) to use it for non-residential purposes (specifically corporate offices) as long as conservation easements were in place to protect the façade and integrity of the mansion grounds. The easements also gave BancShares a monumental tax break.
In 2006, due to stock market losses at BancShares, the property was transferred to an investor and lawyer for BancShares, Thomas Maiorino under the name of Greylock Holdings LLC. Greylock has since defaulted on the mortgage and is delinquent on three years of taxes, forcing the mansion to go to sheriff’s sale after being on the market for two years.
The mansion currently is owned by the FDIC as part of TARP, which allows the government to purchase toxic assets from financial institutions to protect investments and financial stability.
This spring, BancShares’ CEO and chairman were found guilty of defrauding the TARP program of $13.5 million. Through a series of circular transactions with a third party, the two made it seem like the bank had the $15 million in investment funding to qualify for TARP. The FDIC estimates that the bank’s failure has cost it $91.2 million, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal.
In most cases, properties that go up for sheriff’s sale due to mortgage foreclosure are bought back by the bank. Bellis, however, said he’s not sure that the FDIC will want this mansion either.
Since 2006, the property has been mostly vacant and vandalized. Plumbing and electrical wires have been torn up and taken, so the building will need renovation to restore those utilities. Due to lack of upkeep, the roof leaks and ivy has grown into the mortar of the house.
In buying Greylock, the FDIC would be taking on a full restoration of the house, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then it would face putting the property up for sale again after two unsuccessful years on the market.
With living space tight in Chestnut Hill, Greylock would be a prime location for developers to create more housing. Bank is concerned that interested buyers won’t read the easements or take them seriously.
In 2011, Green Wood Charter attempted to buy the property as a new location for the school. The CHHS unanimously denied proposals to amend some of the easements to accommodate the school’s use of the property.
Many of Greylock’s neighbors fought against Green Wood’s proposal because it would go against the traffic zoning that prevents more than 75 visitors on the property a day. Neighbors were concerned about the increased foot-traffic that a school would create in a residential neighborhood.
Bank said he hoped that the sheriff’s sale will be different. He hopes this time that only people who wish to preserve the easements will buy the house.
“As someone who restores houses, I would love to see somebody restore it,” Bank said.
Bellis, on the other hand, said the easements are holding the property back from being preserved. He is worried that Greylock will be demolished just like Whitemarsh Hall, an opulent Chestnut Hill mansion built by Edward Stotesbury and worth upwards of $12 million. Whitemarsh was demolished in 1980 because of its exorbitant upkeep and lack of solid ownership. All that remains of this grand six-story house are some columns and sculptures.
Though Bellis noted that the easements are well-intentioned, the combination of the interests of the tax-burdened BancShares and Greylock Holdings, the CHHS and the mansion’s neighbors’ traffic zoning requests have led to a situation where the property may fall into disrepair.
Bank admits that he is also worried about the fate of the Mansion. “It’s hard to sell a property that can’t be developed,” he said.
Salganicoff explained that CHHS doesn’t want to lead anyone down the wrong path when it comes to amending the easements, but they want to encourage creativity in finding a way to preserve the site and make it useful. “We want to be realistic and engaged with this, but our job is to defend and protect the site,” she said.
Salganicoff added, “The ultimate goal is conservation of the site, preservation of the watershed and appropriate reuse of this treasure.” | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/17/facing-sheriffs-sale-greylocks-future-uncertain/ | en | 2016-08-17T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/cafcd372f60733317af8f7db23b452ae97291cbca9b0695dbb3d5494d3abba0f.json |

For more than 150 years, the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (LTSP), 7301 Germantown Ave. in Mt. Airy, has sought “to educate and form public leaders who are committed to developing and nurturing individual believers and communities of faith for engagement in the world.” It has been a cornerstone of the community.
On Aug. 24, the seminary announced that it would join with the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Gettysburg (LTSG) to create one consolidated school, the United Lutheran Seminary.
In a press release, Bishop James Dunlop, of Harrisburg, who chairs the transition team appointed by the boards of the two schools said the combined seminaries’ name “sums up our vision of the future into which we believe God is calling us.”
“With nearly 350 years of combined history, it’s time we joined together,” he said. “By mid-2017, we will be one school on two campuses. In a time when so many forces in our world seek to divide, our coming together is a powerful witness to our Lord Jesus’ fervent prayer for his followers, ‘that they may all be one.’”
David Lose, president of LTSP, said the decision to consolidate the two schools comes at a time when “seminaries across the spectrum of theological education are struggling to be financially viable” even as there is “a shortage of trained clergy for parishes that need and can afford them.”
He said that by combining resources, the two schools hope not only to address the church’s need for more trained clergy leaders, but to do so in a way, that is “more accessible and affordable for students.”
As a result of the decision to join the two schools, Merri Brown, a spokeswoman for LTSP, said both institutions are now “making full-tuition scholarships available to all new, full-time, ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) rostered leader candidates studying in residence.
She added that the two schools have also increased financial aid for students from other denominations, who are “enrolled at least half-time in a first theological degree program by matching dollar-for-dollar all support made to students from sponsoring congregations and church bodies up to the amount of full tuition.”
In a statement announcing this decision, Michael Cooper-White, president of LTSG, and Lose said, “Students don’t simply pay for or earn their degrees. They receive them as a gift of the church they will be serving.”
In a press release, the Rev. John Richter, chair of LTSP’s board, said, “Our goal all along has been to create a new venture in theological education that enabled us to better prepare leaders responsive to the challenges of the day in a way that is more affordable for students and more sustainable to the larger Church.”
Lose said the original transition plan was to close both schools and create one new venture. He said, however, that the plan was revised after the Pennsylvania Department of Education suggested that one of the two schools’ corporate entities continue in order to preserve licensure and accreditation.
He said that after considering several factors including which seminary had the oldest charter, the transition team decided that the Lutheran Seminary of Gettysburg would remain open and change its name to the United Lutheran Seminary after adopting new bylaws and establishing a new board representing both schools. LTSP would then transfer its assets to the new school.
According to the transition team, LTSG will create a new board of directors constituted by the synods of both supporting regions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and additional members appointed by the ELCA’s Church Council.
They added that in September, under the leadership of the Rev. Charles Miller of New York, a graduate of Gettysburg Seminary, the search for the first president of the unified school will begin. Prior to his retirement, Miller was the ELCA’s executive for administration, responsible for overseeing daily operations of the church’s national and international work.
While Lose admitted that some people may feel a sense of loss for the school’s name, he believes that in the end “people will feel very confident about the new school, which should be a lot more viable and stronger than LTSP has been in recent years.”
“Not all disruptive change ends up being transformative, but truly transformative change is always to some degree disruptive,” he added. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/30/lutheran-seminary-to-join-with-gettysburg-counterpart/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/52e9b57d9eebe2cabccc70e150d8d56f4d292430b6e4edaf4a64cc262daae535.json |

Springside Chestnut Hill Academy’s field hockey players gathered for their first practices last week under the familiar leadership of Katie Mersky, now in her fourth season in the role of head coach. Once again her assistant will be Beta Eaton, another full-time employee at the school.
The Blue Devils graduated nine seniors from last year’s roster, including a multi-season starter in goal, Frankie Reitmeyer. Current senior Audrey Hinchey, a Norwood Fontbonne Academy product, is one of the candidates to fill the vacancy in the cage, as is freshman Shannon McNally, who plays club hockey for the W.C. Eagles.
Three of Hinchey’s classmates will be team captains this season, defender Faith Brown and midfielders Maggie King and Mason Rode. A fifth senior, Maddie Stahlecker, will be part of the defensive unit. Some time ago one of the seniors made a verbal college commitment, but not for hockey; Rode will be playing lacrosse at Bucknell University.
Last fall sophomores were a scarce commodity on the team, and this season there are just two juniors who are expected to see a lot of varsity time. Mid Mackenzie Ramsey is one, and the other is Grace Yang, the sister of former Springside athlete Lindsay Yang, who graduated in 2010 and went on to play lacrosse at Lafayette College.
One of last year’s senior captains, Stanford-bound (for lacrosse) Mikaela Watson, was back helping out the SCH hockey squad during the first week of practice before she heads out to Palo Alto. Her sister Kianah is a current sophomore who will be a defensive midfielder for the Blue Devils this fall.
Unfortunately, only half of the 10th-grade Sweitzer twin tandem is available for duty; Savannah will play at forward, but Delaney is still rehabbing after ACL surgery. However, fellow sophomore Caitlyn Brook, a defender, will be back on the turf after being sidelined by an ACL injury in 2015. Another 10th-grader, Sarah Edelson, is an experienced, versatile player who has transferred in from Wissahickon High School.
McNally, the young goalie, will be kept company by another promising freshman, Maggie Pearson. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/29/coaching-continuity-for-sch-field-hockey/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/9e0149007bb5dad0e6171877dac09108d865cc4b8806fab7fa480a75c861d5a1.json |

When I was a kid, my mom would take me with her to the A & P supermarket at 13th and Chew in Olney every week to do her food shopping. As a newspaper delivery boy for the Philadelphia Bulletin, I would look through the thick food section with lots of full-page supermarket ads on Tuesdays and look for bargain prices.
I remember telling my mom that prices of several things she wanted were cheaper at another supermarket in the neighborhood. She said, “No way am I going anywhere else but the A & P. I know all the cashiers, and they know me. We talk to each other about our kids and other things. They are my friends. If I have to pay a little bit more for the food, so be it.”
I thought about this when I walked into the Chestnut Hill Camera Shop at 8614 Germantown Ave. on the afternoon of Monday, Aug. 15, the last day of the 64-year-old family business. Owner Frank Garber, who started working there in 1974 at age 16, was in a nasty mood, and I do not blame him. Dozens of boxes of photo equipment sat there on the floor. “There is at least $8,000 worth of equipment that I tried to sell. I was offered $800 for it. I said no,” said Frank, who has a business degree from Temple U. but has never worked anywhere but the camera shop.
Twenty-five years ago my wife and I visited the George Eastman Photo Museum in Rochester, New York (Eastman was the founder of the Kodak Camera firm, the first of its kind). They had antique cameras going back to the early 1800s, when the camera was invented. But I would not be surprised if Frank Garber’s collection of antique cameras was not just as extensive as the Eastman Museum’s.
The Smart Phone and the Internet basically killed Frank’s business, as they are killing so many others. “If people don’t take pictures with their cell phones,” he said, “they would buy cameras online and then come in here and ask me how to use them.”
Frank’s store was like the Kilian’s of the camera world. Kilian’s has about four million items in the store stacked up floor to ceiling. If I studied them all for three years, there is no way I would remember where everything is or even if the store carries a certain item. But there are people in Kilian’s who, if you can track them down (that can be difficult), will tell you without hesitation where a two-inch nail made out of aluminum from Uruguay is located. Try to find the same kind of service in a national chain store. Good luck. You’re lucky if the same employee is there from week to week.
The same thing with cameras. I bought a camera several years at Boscov’s because of a sale price. What a mistake. I guess you really do get what you pay for. When I went back to Boscov’s with a problem, it took me half of the afternoon just to find someone to wait on me. And the young man who waited on me could not answer my questions and went to get someone else, who must have been in Panama because I’m not even sure if they ever came back.
So I went to Frank at the Chestnut Hill Camera Shop. I may have paid $10 more, but Frank patiently explained so much about the camera, I was afraid he was going to give me a final exam. I am no technological genius, to put it politely, but every time I had a problem (a few times), Frank patiently explained the solution (after waiting for a while because he gave the same comprehensive service to every customer) and refused to charge me, even when I begged to pay. Once last year I left some money on the counter because it was embarrassing for me to get such professional help and not be charged anything.
Frank is like the family doctor who used to come to your house because you were too sick to go to his office (yes, youngsters, family doctors did actually make house calls) and then charged you whatever you were willing and able to pay. Can you get anything like that kind of service from an HMO?
I know I am a Luddite because I lament the days when you could call Bell Telephone and immediately talk to an operator in Philadelphia, not India, who was actually polite and took the time to deal with your questions. Tragically, that kind of personal attention is almost a relic of the past, a dinosaur that can only be found in a museum. The mom-and-pop stores will soon be all gone, put out of business by the national chains who do not know you and do not really want to know you.
And there will be no one more missed than the Chestnut Hill Camera Shop. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/26/chestnut-hill-camera-shop-personal-service-is-history/ | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/e0e9c30e886522eff991524faf201ea25e6bdbaec3765a8da9072ecc177856b6.json |

When Mount St. Joseph Academy golfer Claire Brown graduated last June, her father, head coach Mike Brown, also bid adieu to the program. During his three-year run, the Magic captured both the individual and team state championship in 2013, and was team runner-up at the 2014 and 2015 state tournaments.
His successor as the Mount’s mentor, John Mischler, has been active in the game of golf for almost four decades, and he also brings first-hand knowledge of the MSJ team. His daughter, Nicole, played for the Magic, and after graduating in 2013 she went on to join the team at Bucknell University, where she is now starting her senior season.
Graduating off of last year’s roster along with Claire Brown were Mara Boston, Megan Bray, Joanie Gannon, and Laura Park. Bray and Gannon each played for the Mount in three PIAA state tournaments.
The Mount St. Joe program has always boasted good depth, though, and with their returning personnel, there’s no reason to think the Magic aren’t capable of winning their 14th straight championship in the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies.
The 2016 captains are Caitlin Mahon and Alex Mercader, both seniors and longtime varsity veterans, and the third 12th grader is returning varsity player Callie Shinkle. Junior Maya Trujillo was already an impact player for the Magic as a freshman, and her classmates Olivia Brogan and Ciara Morrissey were both on the varsity roster last year. Another junior, Grace Quinones, is a new addition.
Brianna Mahon, Caitlin’s sister, was on the Mount St. Joe team last fall as a freshman, as was Lia Priolo. Joining the Magic is an incoming freshman out of Wyncote’s Ancillae Assumpta Academy, Olivia Wirsching, who is an experienced junior tournament player.
In the early days of the 2016 season, Coach Mischler sees the team as well-balanced in terms of ability, and the players as very unified and team oriented in their approach.
After opening up with a non-league victory over Spring-Ford High School on August 18, the Mount rang up four Catholic Academies wins last week.
In a tri-match in Chester County, the Mount turned in a five-player team score of 236 (nine holes) to top host Villa Maria (263) and Nazareth Academy (290), and back home at the Philadelphia Cricket Club’s St. Martin’s course the Magic turned away Gwynedd Mercy, 217-234.
They finished the week with a victory on Nazareth’s home course at John F. Byrne Golf Club. Mercader turned in a score of 34 and Caitlin Mahon shot a 37 as the Mount rolled, 207-256. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/29/mount-golf-sweeps-early-league-matches/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/369ed282f0c3a065a371fdad2f032e14655d1c99d9375995a9dd90a3de450f78.json |

Four members of Germantown Friends School’s 2015 field hockey team have graduated, but that’s actually a modest loss compared to several preceding seasons.
The current seniors are starting out under the Tigers’ third coaching regime since they were ninth graders. This fall, the primary varsity mentors both can provide the most up-to-date knowledge about the game since they’re both recent college grads.
New head coach Nakira Downes played high school hockey in Barbados and represented her country in international competition. She was recruited to play Division I hockey in the Atlantic 10 conference for Lock Haven University, and later gained coaching experience in both scholastic and club settings.
GFS athletic director Katie Bergstrom Mark pointed out that during the hiring process, Downes came in for exceptionally high praise from her former coach at Lock Haven, Pat Rudy.
Former GFS athlete Courtney Wilson returns to the Tigers as an assistant coach after completing her college hockey career at Mansfield University, where she graduated in 2016. Both she and Downes will be members of the faculty at GFS.
Returning as an assistant is Traci Taylor, who wears many hats for Germantown Friends Athletics.
They will preside over a relatively young Tigers team that includes just three seniors, captains Zoe Loomis, Emma Lynam, and Livi Pinover. The team is fortunate to have a key junior, Layah Taylor, back in the goal cage. Her classmates on the squad are Maddie Figueredo, Allie Lipshutz, Sydney Slavitt, Olivia Wells, and Arrietty Xia.
The sophomore contingent contains Sarah Levin, Gloria Lyu, Emory and Jane MacLaughlin, Zoe Smith, Julia Tanier, and Ivy Hunnicut. The fact that the freshman class is larger than the others bodes well for the future; the Tiger’s ninth-grade sticksters are Katherine Benoliel, Rachel Burnett, Maddie Goldsborough, Natalia Hardy, Flora Kerner, Eleanor Loden, Julia Saint-Amour, and Ava Sinai. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/29/a-fresh-hockey-perspective-for-gfs-tigers/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/e99908033c2051ba87b3ba6dba780da0f82fd66533b9875af0a926bcd556bc6a.json |

Like some creature that survives a nuclear holocaust, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) has endured despite the Herculean efforts of three Republican governors and several Republican controlled legislatures. Wine lovers like me, who have tried to deal with this antiquated system over the years, have had their share of frustrations and horror stories.
Yes, there have been improvements since that Soviet-style system of days gone by, when those bleak, stores with sea foam green painted walls had no self-service, accepted no credit cards and closed on Sundays. The wine selection was what one might have expected in an Albanian village tavern in the 1950s.
But despite the improvements, state stores (which is what we all call them, despite the PLCB’s efforts to the contrary) pretty much operate like any other state-run agency, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. The net effect is like putting a tutu on a hippo. It’s still a hippo.
Unfortunately, since the state stores will probably outlive all of us, we all might as well try to make the best of a bad situation. Here’s how.
First, get familiar with the PLCB website, www.lcbapps.lcb.state.pa.us. Go to the Product Search Page. The website will help you find out if the wine is available in Pennsylvania, how much it costs, and what store(s), if any, have it. It will also give you the wine’s code, which is important (and why I list the codes in my recommendations after every restaurant review).
Even when (or if) you are comfortable with the website, there are plenty of glitches. For example, some wines in the stores are not on the web site and vice versa.
Also, newer vintages often show up in stores before they do on the website. However, if you can’t find a newer vintage on the website or in the stores, state store employees can’t tell you when new vintages might arrive because everything is controlled by those wine-loving bureaucrats in Harrisburg.
Once you are on the Product Search Page, scroll down to Wine Type under Specific Type. The drop down menu will give you a list of wine varieties. Some on the list are fairly small or narrow, like Pennsylvania Chardonnay. Others are broader (sometimes too broad) like Red Imported Wines from Italy (38 pages, 907 wines). Some are so obscure no wines are listed at all, like French Colombard from California.
If you have specific information about the wine, you can put it in the Keyword section at the top of the Search box. For example, say you’re looking for Alsatian Rieslings, which doesn’t have a category of its own. If you selected White Imported French, you’d get 13 pages and 319 wines. But if you also put Riesling in the Keyword section, 15 Alsatian Rieslings will pop up. (For some reason just putting Alsace Riesling or Alsatian Riesling in the Keyword section doesn’t work.)
Below Wine Type is Cost Range, which allows you to narrow your search by price. Under that you can further narrow your selection with Search for a Department or Search for a Promotional Category. I’ve never found the Promotional Category useful. In Searching for Department there are three categories: Regular, Luxury and SLO.
Regular refers to wines the PLCB normally carries. Luxury, despite the name, doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. It means a wine that isn’t part of the standard stock that stores carry. Checking Luxury, however, gets you both Regular and Luxury categories.
SLO (for “special liquor order”) are for wines that do not appear on store shelves but are carried by the PLCB. They have to be ordered, usually by the case. Restaurants typically use SLO wines.
After hitting the Search button, you’ll get a list of wines that fit the profile you’ve created. This list can be rearranged alphabetically or by vintage or price.
Click on the code of a specific wine. This will take you to a location search, which can be done by city or county. For most readers of this column, the best search is by county and that almost always means Montgomery and Philadelphia counties. When you select a county, you’ll get a list of state stores in that county that carry the wine.

Joe DiSalvo, a soccer star at the old Chestnut Hill Academy, stepped down as varsity head coach at Springside Chestnut Hill after seven seasons at the helm, but the returning players are very familiar with the new skipper.
Faculty member Brian Zalasky has moved into the job following a three-year stint as varsity assistant. Tom Stackhouse returns to the SCH staff, and a new addition is Keiran Loughery, who is originally from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.
After winding up as runner-up in the Inter-Ac League in 2013 and 2014, the Blue Devils surprised themselves and even their opponents last fall when they finished in fifth place in the six-team league. Springside Chestnut Hill’s record of 2-5-3 locked the Blue Devils in at fifth place in between number four Penn Charter (4-4-2) and Germantown Academy (2-7-1).
With the graduation of seven members of the Class of 2016, the SCH squad not only lost some scoring up front, but also a goalie who was a commanding presence in the cage for four years, Sam McDowell.
For this season, the goalie position is still in flux. David Brenman and Joe Conlin, who are now seniors, were listed as reserve keepers on the 2015 roster, and now another candidate has emerged, sophomore Owen Elliott.
The other 12th-graders on the squad are the three 2016 captains, Malcolm Glendinning, Jack Lamb, and Andy Stackhouse.
Three varsity veterans who are now juniors, Michael Buck, Tague Harmaty, and Luke Vogelman, are being joined by classmates Jordon Bell, Andrew Cramer, Matt Greenberg, Max Phillips and Seth Rabinowitz.
In addition to goalie prospect Elliott, the sophomore class features returning athletes Matthew Bown, Phillip Burckhardt, Luke Greenberg, Peter Kapp and Jack Myers, as well as Nate McDowell, the brother of graduated goalkeeper Sam McDowell.
Tague Harmaty’s younger brother, Dane, has already caught the attention of the coaches; he’s entering SCH in the ninth grade. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/29/sch-soccer-seeks-inter-ac-improvement/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/1e784d6de8ee4c2b38032a295304fe0cd86c6bec4c9fcad20243bce89b0a0092.json |

The earth laughs in flowers. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there. — George Bernard Shaw
One of the great things about this time of year is the explosion and profusion of color, shape and design that are bursting in the gardens and parks that surround us. It is glorious and spectacular as the plantings that were so hopefully started a few months ago are now coming to fruition.
Watching this happen fills my morning walks with joy and wonder. It is a marvelous way to greet the day. I walk different routes along streets in Mt Airy, Chestnut Hill and/or Germantown, areas that feature lots of places with yards, gardens, walkways and more.
And these neighborhoods also feature gardeners —people who plan and plant their own spaces in their own ways with their own design ideas. And I get to look at this most days in the early morning light, a wondrous way to encounter the world as I explore a variety of answers to that age-old question, “What can I do with this little piece of earth?”
I get to view some of my favorite plantings as I walk West Mt Airy near where I live. Bryan Street, Cresheim Road, Gowen Avenue, Mt. Airy and Germantown Avenues all feature yards and walkways that show individuals demonstrating their own very individual styles.
Some have walkways up to and beside the house that are lined with a variety of different grasses and small plants. Some have big sunflowers that line both sides of a walk or fill a yard, attracting darting and whizzing goldfinches that amaze and delight the eyes of young kids passing by.
Still others have plants in pots of different sizes and colors neatly set on steps or porches with a variety of plants and flowers. Some have grasses of all shades of green, varying thicknesses and a wide array of shapes.
My favorite garden on Gowen Avenue is one of these, and I cannot count the number of different types of grasses and cacti that make up this wonderful space. I also noticed this year that there is a proliferation of monarda, Joe Pye weed and butterfly bushes that all attract hummingbirds and butterflies are common in Mt. Airy, as is the purple cone-flower.
Sunflowers and lilies are in abundance as well, adding both color and height to the neighborhood. Virginia creeper, daises and irises also regularly pop up. Of course, I did not know the names of many of these plants and flowers at first, but seeing them regularly on my walks intrigued me, and now I am slowly starting to learn their names and things about them.
There are gardeners I call “The Wild Bunch” who like a lot of different plants growing together in a relatively untrimmed or untamed fashion. Their yards and walks have plants seemingly growing in all directions with leaves crossing the edges of walkways, running along borders and seemingly crashing into each other and fighting for space and sun.
There are others who are more of the “proper English Garden” types; their plants are laid out in rows, neatly trimmed regularly, and it is clear that careful thought was given as to what color or shape was going to go into what part of the garden.
And there are gardeners who are all over the place, with some sections of a yard carefully and neatly planted and other parts in wonderful disarray. This range of approaches fascinates me as I walk. I can look at a whole block and see different approaches to what a garden can be.
So I continue to enjoy my early morning walks. It was a bit too humid to walk for a while in mid to late July. It was muggy and stifling even at 6 or 6:30 in the morning. I missed my walking and my enjoyment of the early morning sounds and sights. But the heat and humidity have both been lying low for the most part, and I have been able to happily amble in the neighborhood. A friend asked me why I am up at 6 in the morning when I am no longer teaching; it seems ridiculous to him for people to be up at that time when they do not HAVE to be up.
To me, though, that is the point. That time of day was meant for people who do not have to be up. For being up to see the world at that time in a way that allows you to truly see and experience it is a gift to be enjoyed and savored. And I am so glad that I get to do that.

Orlando Enrique Fiol, 44, is a doctoral student in music theory in the Universe of Pennsylvania’s music department. He can speak seven languages and is also a professional pianist, keyboardist, percussionist and pedagogue. In 1987, LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts on the Upper West Side of Manhattan arranged two performances with Fiol and Stevie Wonder, where they played a duet in front of the student body. The local resident has also been completely blind since infancy. Here, he takes us on a journey into his world full of sound.
I live in a world where sounds and silences are signs, where the “writing” is usually on the tongue rather than on the wall. A pre-dawn plethora of singing birds means the sun will come out soon. The bubbling of bitter coffee in a stovetop espresso maker means that a cup of joe is on its way. The ascending pitch of dripping water lets me know when my thermos is getting full. The whoosh and slush of passing cars means it has rained. Synthesized speech on my desktop means Windows has booted successfully. TalkBack on an Android means the phone is on. Acoustic changes in air reflections mean I’m passing tall trees or imposing buildings. A simple concrete wall at ear level can keep me walking a straight line.
Silences are inherently baffling. After a blizzard, streets get so quiet that each falling snowflake has its own fluffy transient, but those same deserted streets after dark can bode danger. Conversational lulls can signify nascent love or awkward doubt; a verbally uninvited romantic gesture can be misinterpreted.
What is valuable in this sound-centered world?
Clear communication makes me feel secure and aware of where I stand. A gentle statement of arrival or departure saves me from the embarrassment of talking to myself. Whispers and hand signals put me on edge, to say nothing of eye rolls or shoulder shrugs. A few cents difference satisfies a cashier and tunes a piano. My prodigious musical memory means more work and prestige.
What doesn’t work in this sound-centered world? Colors are mere myths.
Makeup prohibits me from adoring beautiful female faces while the rest of the world marvels at beauty I cannot hope to perceive.
Emoticons in emails or text messages waste space. Paths with open spaces are directionally disorienting. Silent movie scenes or nonverbal funny gags make me feel left out of poignant moments or inside jokes. Visual cooking instructions urge me to throw up my hands and turn on the microwave.
Can there be too much sound?
I hate feeling alone in crowds, where everyone is talking to each other but not to me. It’s hard to approach a random stranger without knowing with whom they keep company or if I am potentially placing myself in danger. In noisy bars, jukeboxes, conversational cacophony and the clatter of glasses beckon me to walk out, but streets full of passing vehicles blaring loud music and honking discordant horns are no better. Multi-tasking is great when sounds are timbrally different and spatially separated, but too much sound in an enclosed space can become unmanageably noisy.
Can this world be shared?
If you can see and hear, my world is a second-class subset of yours, where conventionally appealing looks get you jobs and dates. You don’t have to wait long on street corners for directions if it’s too wet or cold to bust out your GPS. You can wrap yourself in nonverbal cues or visual euphemisms to avoid impolite questions and heartbreaking responses.
You don’t need someone around to tell you if your day’s clothes are clean. You can get into a car and adjust everything from the seat position and air conditioning without inquiring where the controls are situated. You can pick your own produce at a supermarket or on an enterprising immigrant’s mobile farmers’ market truck.
You can enjoy sightseeing rather than radio surf in a generic hotel room. Paintings possess actual intellectual intent. Colors liberally pepper your perceptions. Good news! Commonality is actually abundant between our supposedly disparate worlds. Hanging out with sound-centered people like me might improve your aural perceptions, while spending time with “sightlings” like you might connect many non-Braille dots for me.
So the next time you see me or one of my cohorts looking lost on a street corner or sadly sitting at a table amidst a bustling party, don’t just walk on by; make some noise! Marvin Gaye sang it best: “Talk to me, and you will see what’s goin’ on. You tell me what’s goin’ on; I’ll tell you what’s goin’ on.” If life is a river, its droplets, rapids and waterfalls matter just as much as sunlight’s sheen on its banks. Let’s not leave each other to drown in this river when we can laugh and cry, shout and sing, touch and hug.

Dee Dee Risher, a Germantown resident for 29 years and a writer and editor for the award-winning Christian social justice magazine, The Other Side, for two of its four decades, will read from her new book, “The Soul-Making Room,” on Thursday, Aug. 25, 7 p.m., at Big Blue Marble Bookstore, 551 Carpenter Lane in West Mt. Airy.
Risher, a longtime member of Weavers Way, also helped to start Vine and Fig Tree, a faith-based, intentional cooperative housing community. She helped organize the neighborhood watch, coordinates a community garden, grows organic vegetables for the local food pantry and advocates for local schools. She currently attends Germantown Mennonite Church and Cookman Beloved Community Church in North Philadelphia.
“The Soul-Making Room” is about how we create a culture of radical hospitality and how we can confront inevitable losses and grief as we work to transform our world. In the book Risher addresses love, race, money, parenting, class, environmental crisis and spiritual wandering. The title of the book comes from the story of the prophet Elisha and the woman who built him a holy room. Risher explores how we create a space for spiritual growth, how we keep working toward justice and live truthfully.
“If we cannot deal with failure,” she says, “if we do not know how to put our deepest losses in our holy room, and if we do not know who our people are, we can never fully join the joy and power of God’s story.”
While Risher is deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, she has written a book intended to help everyone who is seeking spiritual sustenance within any faith or philosophical tradition. One noted scholar and activist, Bell Hooks, wrote about the book: “Few books on spiritual issues cover as much ground and offer the brilliant insights that are essential for the strengthening of our faith . . . Risher offers us radically new ways to think about justice, about what it means to love, about making a life centered on service.”
Risher, whose work has been featured in many publications including The Utne Reader, Sojourners, Grid and Huffington Post, grew up in South Carolina living with black families, worked in China and a poor neighborhood in Washington, D.C. She chose to live and raise her family in a low-income, predominantly African-American neighborhood in Philadelphia.
“Over decades,” Risher explained recently, “my journey has had me living in spaces I would not have imagined — urban, low-income neighborhoods; other countries; very low-paying jobs; spaces that were not primarily white; faith experiences with believers from all over the map. My ongoing struggle has been this: how to find a ‘room of one’s own,’ as Virginia Woolf so wonderfully named it.
“I believe that room needs to hold both solitude and struggle. It needs to hold the agony and the incredible beauty in this world, and it needs to hold my most honest struggles with God. When I stumbled onto John Keats’s description of life as this ‘vale of soul-making,’ I resonated.
“Every human being goes through graceful and also wrenching experiences. I have been struck by how little our spiritual traditions actually try to prepare us for these difficulties. I believe there is some heartbreakingly beautiful fruit we are to shape from those. This becomes our own unique, authentic gift to the world.”

– A monthly column about architecture and urban planning
Young professionals and empty nesters are moving into Philadelphia’s desirable neighborhoods. This is good news for business, but sad for some favorite landmarks.
The danger of the disappearance of some of the buildings that make the city unique is that Philadelphians’ world may be a little less interesting if not somewhat monotonous.
Many of the buildings that are protected can be traced to a famous designer. These architectural treasures are relatively safe, but they represent a small percentage of the true flavor of the city.
Of course, in every neighborhood, including Chestnut Hill, buildings listed by the Philadelphia Historic Commission as valuable are protected from most types of demolition, including the Mother’s House designed by famed architect Robert Venturi or the Esherick House by another famed architect, Louis Kahn.
About 22,000 buildings in Philadelphia are on the Historic Commission’s preserved list, which means that any change to the facade of the building including its doors and windows must be approved by the commission. These buildings can only be torn down in extreme cases of neglect or financial hardship.
Regarding other valuable buildings that have not been recognized, the future is uncertain.
“We are losing a building a week” said Patrick Grossi, advocacy director for the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia, recently in an interview in his Center City office. “These are buildings that can contribute to the overall functioning of a neighborhood and show its overall character.”
One example, he said, was the demolition of the Union Baptist church where Marion Anderson got her start.
He added that buildings that demonstrate the character of an area and function in that neighborhood could be beautifully designed, but not necessarily the work of a well-known architect. These are in danger of demolition or replacement.
Grossi said the Lovett Library in Mt. Airy and the Germantown Boys and Girls Club in Germantown are examples of valuable buildings in Northwest Philadelphia that could be torn down or replaced. because they are not protected.
He said the Germantown club, is in the process of being replaced rather than renovated and the Lovett Library is in no danger of immediate change, but it is not protected by being listed in the Philadelphia register. The building could be changed or replaced by the free library system.
“But it is a good example of a solid mid-century modern library and it could be replaced or changed with no protection,“ Grossi said.
He said some of the buildings constructed in the mid-20th century and the postmodern era are a fixture of their neighborhood and distinctive. These stand out and are landmarks and often the site of memorable events in the area’s history and are worthy of preservation despite the fact that a big-name architect did not design them.
These buildings are vulnerable to demolition to make way for the increasing need for residential construction. He said the good news is the Philadelphia Historic Commission last week preserved the youngest buildings submitted for the list of protected buildings. They are the Ott Camera on Castor Avenue and the Robinson Luggage building at 1020 Market Street. Both are mid century buildings that are important to their community.
The buildings are part of the late 19th century and mid-century modernism that are now considered worthy of preservation.
“There is really no incentive program for the rehabilitation of historic properties other than a tax abatement based on the cost of improvement,” Grossi said. “And this pales in comparison with the profit that can be made from new construction.”
A historically significant building that has not been listed as a protected site is the Society Hill Playhouse, which was constructed in 1902 and is the subject of a demolition permit by an owner who has sold the property to a residential developer.
Grossi said he is not interested in seeing preservation and development at odds with each other. He’d prefer to see a balance.
“What we are trying to do is figure out what buildings are eligible to be on the city preservation list and which are vulnerable,” he said.
He said only 2 or 3 percent of the estimated valuable buildings are on the local register and any not identified as significant are “fair game.”
In the case of a building like the Society Hill Playhouse, which will be demolished to make way for new residential construction once an application for demolition is processed, any application for preservation will not be processed.
Eventually, Grossi hopes Philadelphia acquires an extensive list of buildings worthy of preservation along with help for the overworked, underpaid Historic Commission. If the city acquires the list, it will join Chicago and Los Angeles, which have made preservation a little easier. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/17/streetscape-city-wide-group-hopes-to-expand-list-of-protected-historic-buildings/ | en | 2016-08-17T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/e1a7e4549d23b919d2c79af5ebf54c083f48ad6e5380117ccab2b6deb6fca0bc.json |

Ed. Note: What is a monkey’s favorite kind of cookie? Answer: Chocolate chimp… What kind of candy is never on time? Answer: ChocoLATE!
MaryEllen Salamone, 38, who goes just by her first name, had recently opened Made By Me, her chocolate shop at Chestnut Hill’s Fareway Market (behind the Chestnut Hill Hotel; formerly the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market), when a customer rushed up to the counter.
“Your vanilla fudge! OMG!” gushed Latrice Andrews, of Conshohocken. “I offered some to my mother, and she refused. She said she doesn’t like fudge because it’s too sweet. But I told her, ‘Mom, this fudge tastes like vanilla with only a hint of sweetness.’ She took one taste and she loved it!”
Enthusiastic endorsements are not new to MaryEllen of Glenside. After graduating from Cheltenham High School, she attended The Culinary Institute of America’s Baking and Pastry Program, then spent 13 years working with top pastry chefs and chocolatiers in Las Vegas and Fort Meyers, FL.
But it was growing up in a family of passionate bakers that first introduced MaryEllen to the pleasures of dessert making. “Growing up in an Italian/Irish family, there was no shortage of food and laughs. Making cannolis and apple dumplings with my grandmother in her tiny kitchen in Chalfont is one of my favorite memories,” said MaryEllen. “I asked if I could have the recipe/recipes, and she said, ‘I have the recipes in my head.’ So, you can imagine as a child trying to ‘measure’ a handful of flour!”
MaryEllen’s other influence was her mother. “Mom is an amazing baker. I started helping her in the kitchen at the age of 6. She made it fun, and since I am one of four, desserts didn’t last long at our house! Mom doesn’t just have a recipe box; she has a recipe drawer! One recipe in particular I love, Irish Soda Bread, which came from my mother’s Aunt Edna in Ireland. It’s a family tradition to make this recipe every year around St. Patrick’s Day.”
What sealed MaryEllen’s fate was a professional pastry chef who spoke at her school when she was in 5th grade. “She told us how her job involved eating all the cake and chocolate you want. I was hooked!”
As much as she loves chocolate, MaryEllen’s first career was as a pastry chef. “I have been doing pastries for over 20 years and was incredibly fortunate to work with some amazing pastry chefs in my career,” she said. “Pastry is what led me to my career as a chocolatier now. Eleven years ago, while working as a pastry chef for the Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida, I visited a chocolate salon in Fort Myers, Florida, owned by a pastry chef whose career I had followed for years. I reached out to ask for a tour and introduction. At the end of the meeting, I was offered a job by the chef/owner.”
What brought MaryEllen back to our area? “In my profession, you miss pretty much every holiday, wedding and shower, and since I lived so far away, I missed even more of the little things,” she said. “I felt if I moved back closer to my family that I would be able to maneuver my schedule and make up for lost time. Coming home is one of the greatest career and personal moves I have ever made.”
If you stop by Made By Me this month, you’ll find a selection of handmade chocolates including: fudge, milk and dark chocolate-covered pretzels, turtles, hickory-smoked hazelnut bark, individual caramels, toffee, peppermint patties and, her best-selling peanut butter bark. What’s the difference between MaryEllen’s chocolates and commercial brands found at other shops? “I don’t use any preservatives, so my chocolates have a short shelf life. The products I sell are always freshly made.”
Starting in September, MaryEllen will feature a larger selection, including handmade truffles and sugar-free chocolates. “It’s too hot now to make truffles, but when the weather cools, I’ll be offering an assortment of eight truffle flavors: white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, pretzel, hazelnut, mint, sea salt caramel and peanut butter.”
In addition to chocolates, MaryEllen runs her own pastry business, Pastries By MaryEllen, making desserts for restaurants and shops in Glenside. She also takes special orders for wedding cakes and favors, parties and corporate events.

Coming off of a dismal year (0-5) in the Inter-Ac in 2014, the Penn Charter football Quakers had to be pleased with how 2015 went.
PC finished 3-2 in the league, punctuated by a blowout win over longtime rival Germantown Academy in the season’s finale. Had a couple bounces gone differently in their league opener against the Haverford School (a 41-40 overtime loss), the Quakers could have found themselves in a three-way tie for a conference championship.
A far cry from the league cellar, but there’s still work to be done.
“When you look at last season, we played those first five games and we were still trying to figure out our identity,” said PC head coach Tom Coyle. “Then you look at the second half, starting with the game against Lawrenceville School, through our league play we found ourselves.”
PC lost to Lawrenceville School, but not without coming back from a multi-touchdown deficit to turn a laugher into a close game. The offense turned a corner too—only once had they scored more than 19 points prior to it, and starting with their 36-point effort against Big Red, the Quakers notched at least 28 in all but one of their following games.
“Finishing 3-2, I thought the back half of our season, our kids really grew into themselves” Coyle said. “They did an outstanding job playing on both sides of the football.”
Fast-forward to this year, where Penn Charter is through about three and a half weeks of action. They play their first game this Saturday against Lansdale Catholic, and battled with Northeast High School in a scrimmage last Friday.
The teams didn’t keep a detailed score—if they did, Coyle wasn’t willing to share it—but he was pleased with how the team played.
“I thought the scrimmage went well,” he said. “Northeast tends to be a pretty good team in the Public League. They’re very physical—they’re a team that runs the football.
“After a summer of playing just 7-or-8-man football, running around and tagging each other, we had a chance to play real, physical football. I thought we played fast. We didn’t seem unsure of ourselves at all.”
A big reason that’s the case is that the leader of the offense, Mike Hnatkowski is back for his senior year, along with speedy receiver Chris Tucker. They’ve lost tight end Evan Turner, along with powerful running back Jake McCain to graduation.
Their other running back from 2015, Marqui Johnson—the lighting to McCain’s thunder—is gone as well. The sophomore moved to Arizona with his family, leaving a hole in the Penn Charter backfield.
Filling it will be Prep Charter (located in Point Breeze) sophomore transfer Edward Saydee.
“The team’s good,” Saydee said. “At first, I didn’t know what to expect because I’m a new player.”
“There are more coaches,” he said, of the difference between playing for William Penn, and not Prep Charter. Makes sense—private schools have more resources than public ones do, and Saydee figures to benefit from the help.
“If you make a mistake, they’ll get right after you and tell you to change it up,” Saydee said. “You can’t make a mistake and expect to get away with it. You’ve got to do all you can every time.”
Saydee will join a Quaker team that will be forced to improve in pace with the rest of the conference. Springside Chestnut Hill, despite fielding a small team, will return just about every starter from 2015. Germantown Academy, the team they’ve been playing for nearly 130 years, figures to be improved as well with much of its talent returning.
There’s nothing to suggest that the Inter-Ac’s teams down the main line will be any worse, so moving beyond the 3-2 mark they finished with last year will be a test.
“There’s really good intensity,” said Terence Thompson, a junior wide receiver and strong safety. “People are excited to play. We’ve got good numbers.
“Everyone wants to be out here. Last year, it was a lot slower. Now, you can tell we’ve got a lot more football players and it’s really good to see.” | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/29/pc-football-looking-to-improve-upon-last-season/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/46e600c5d83b632ecb31a514c9fc837f08e61fd5d2367ee7d9844803bf8b7d4b.json |

Having lived in northwest Philly for over 20 years, I avoid Lincoln Drive in heavy rain, sleet and snow. Especially at night when its narrow, snaky curves make it the city’s fifth highest spot for car accidents. Not just fender benders but horrific crashes from which victims may go straight to the morgue.
Now there’s the added distraction of driver texting on a road that requires the skills of Mario Andretti. However, on a sunny summer day, there’s no reason to avoid the Drive, or so I had thought. On Aug. 14, traffic was a little heavier than usual for a Sunday afternoon, which I credited to the Walnut Lane Bridge closure, forcing all traffic to Manayunk and the Western burbs to detour to the Drive. Just past the light at Wissahickon, in a stretch dubbed “Dead Man’s Gulch,” traffic came to a complete stop in both lanes and directions.
On the other side of the median, I saw two cars crushed like beer cans, one flipped over on its side. With no EMTs in sight, several drivers ahead of me had abandoned their cars in the road and crossed the median to rush to the aid of victims trapped inside their cars. A man stood in the middle of the road, a cell phone to his ear, no doubt calling 911.
Having living in Los Angeles and New York City, this wasn’t the first multiple-car pile-up I’ve seen. But it was the worst. As my car inched forward, I eventually saw several ambulances and police cars, sirens blaring, about a half-mile from the accident site. They were stuck in traffic, unable to move.
If drivers wanted to make way for the EMTs, their only option was to drive into the heavily wooded hills or into Wissahickon Creek. At that moment, I realized that what makes the difference between life and death on Lincoln Drive isn’t its curves but its total lack of emergency access roads and shoulders allowing cars to pull over.
It wasn’t until the next morning that I read that two people had died in what had been a three-car collision. A speeding car had jumped the median, hit a car driving in the opposite direction, then went airborne back over the median to strike a third vehicle. The 23-year-old driver in the speeding car was pronounced dead at the scene. The other victim was a 55-year-old woman in the third vehicle who died after being taken to Einstein Medical Center. That could’ve been me. You. Or any other law-abiding driver.
I have to wonder. How did a delay of 10 to 20 minutes or more impact her survival? And how many people have to lose their lives or sustain permanent brain damage or paralysis before the city widens the road to allow for prompt emergency access?
This is not a new source of concern to those of us who use Lincoln Drive frequently. Back in 2007, concerned Mt. Airy neighbors formed the Northwest Traffic Calming Committee (NTCC) to lower the incidence of accidents on Lincoln Drive. Their research found that within one year, Lincoln Drive had 118 accidents.
Why? The 25 mph speed limit is not enforced. Most cars take the hair-pin curves at 45 mph or higher. Rather than handing out tickets to every commuter, a patrol car occasionally travels on the Drive to slow traffic temporarily. As soon as the black and white vanishes, the Drive quickly reverts to the Indy 500.
According to the Philadelphia Streets Department, Lincoln Drive is scheduled for a “major facelift” starting next spring to be completed one year later. While this includes improving paving, sidewalks, building better median barriers and guardrails, improving traffic signals and installation of better drainage, there are no provisions for creating emergency access roads or shoulders. Hopefully, this will lower the incidence of cars jumping the median, but it will not reduce speeding or fatal accidents on Lincoln Drive. Nor will it allow Police and EMTs to reach victims in a timely manner.
Philadelphia Streets Commissioner Mike Carroll said, “There is no funding for such improvements at this time.” When improvements on Lincoln Drive start next Spring, commuters will have to use alternate routes such as School House Lane, which runs somewhat parallel to Lincoln Drive and provides a safe, convenient route. My plan? I’m going to start using alternate routes right now. Because getting to my destination fast isn’t as important as getting there alive.
Ed. Note: I also tried to get on Lincoln Drive just before 3 p.m. on Aug. 14, knowing nothing about the accident, but the Drive was closed off, as is the Walnut Lane Bridge, and traffic was at a complete standstill. Serious accidents on Lincoln Drive are not uncommon. The most publicized one took place on March 18, 1982, on Lincoln Drive near Rittenhouse Street. Famed singer-songwriter Teddy Pendergrass, who lived on Allens Lane in West Mt. Airy, lost control of his Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. The car hit a guard rail, crossed into the opposite traffic lane and hit two trees. Pendergrass and his passenger, Tenika Watson, a nightclub performer, were trapped in the wreckage for 45 minutes. While Watson walked away from the accident with minor injuries, Pendergrass suffered a spinal cord injury, leaving him a paraplegic, paralyzed from the chest down. Pendergrass died Jan. 13, 2010, at the age of 59. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/26/lincoln-drive-is-called-dead-mans-gulch-for-a-reason/ | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/61cf166efac81bd3730079086731dd1549087bb32c3329cd65fba9868ec45808.json |

What does it take to find the perfect career? Career management professional George Schonewolf devotes himself to teaching others exactly how to do so. In fact, helping others secure their ideal careers is exactly the career Schonewolf always wanted.
“Empowering [unemployed individuals] to land new, full-time positions in this new economy is something that I’m extremely passionate about,” said Schonewolf. “It’s something that motivates me and I wanted to find another way that I could give back to society in terms of broadening my outreach.”
Having been a career management professional for 28 years, Schonewolf is the founder of Career Directions, a career assistance firm in Huntingdon Valley. When the opportunity arose to create a new career help group, he felt it was his calling to help others secure their ideal careers. In 2013 he created the Career Networking Group, which meets at the William Jeanes Memorial Library in Lafayette Hill every Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. Providing information on job opportunities and training group members in the skills necessary to secure full-time positions, the group quickly outgrew its original location as it became more popular.
“Being in transition, being unemployed, can be very frustrating – can even be somewhat depressing at times – and to be able to at least get up one day a week and come out to a meeting does an awful lot to keeping the individual positive,” Schonewolf said. “It provides them with the support and the networking and the information they need. And I’m happy to say that in the three years this September that I’ve been the director, organizer, and event host for this group, 30+ individuals who have come to the meetings have landed full-time positions.”
The meetings consist of providing time for group members to network with one another and share information regarding job opportunities and upcoming job fairs. Schonewolf also brings in at least two guest speakers a month to speak to the group. When there is not a guest speaker for a meeting, Schonewolf creates a presentation for the group. One of the topics he focuses the most on is networking.
“I have a saying that, in terms of networking, they should continue to network until they either die or retire, whatever comes first!” he said, laughing. “That’s how vital it is.”
During meetings, Schonewolf guides through different networking exercises. They also work on creating resumes, prepare elevator speech, and even do mock interviews – which, according to group member Jo Ann Walborn, are extremely helpful.
“He does something called mock interviews where he’ll videotape you,” she said. “I can see what I look like and how I present myself in a practice environment. Practice is so important.”
Having returned to the group after taking a seasonal job in the fall, Walborn hopes the group will help her secure a job in marketing or advertising, a field in which she has considerable experience.
“I’ve been learning a lot from George and his presentations and building skills, but I think it’s going to be a little challenge for me because of my age,” she added. “I’m not a young person anymore, and I’ve been out of the business, so I need to brush up on skill sets, like social media – and the industry’s changed, I’m sure, quite a bit since I’ve left.”
Although the majority of the Career Networking Group’s members are unemployed or in transition, some are also underemployed – working part-time jobs while they look for more full-time positions – or professionals looking for a career change. Group members range between young and old, with varying levels of experience in the job market.
According to Schonewolf, a group like this is necessary to keep many unemployed individuals motivated. He also reminds group members to take care of themselves while they are unemployed, saying that it heavily affects their job search.
“If they’re not taking care of themselves, then the message that they’re going to communicate nonverbally would not be a desirable message and certainly will further augment their level of frustration,” he explained. “And since 93 percent of all communication in any one-on-one meeting is nonverbal, if an individual is not taking care of themselves, and allowing themselves to get depressed, frustrated, because of being in transition and job searching, then it’s going to negatively impact the message they’re going to be putting out for others. And that invariably is going to work against them.”
Walborn has found the group helpful and encouraging while she has been a member. She specified that the most valuable aspects of the group meetings are Schonewolf’s informative presentations and the skills he teaches.
“It’s very inspiring and it’s very motivating,” she said, “and especially when you’re discouraged with your job search, it’s an excellent way to get out and be with people and to get support.”
As she looks toward the future, having just started a new job, Walborn advises fellow job hunters to “get out and meet people,” “join groups or associations,” “read industry publications,” and “get together with hiring managers to find out about the industry.”
“It’s not always easy,” Schonewolf admitted, but securing the perfect career is not impossible. With a group as supportive and informative as Schonewolf’s Career Networking Group, the path for unemployed individuals to an ideal profession not only is possible but reachable – as long as they take it one step at a time.

Peg Shaw’s path to her new job as project manager for the Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW) may not have been straightforward, but it has been interesting.
“In a previous professional life I owned and managed a hair salon … for 10 years,” Shaw said. Though not a stylist herself, Shaw was the president and general manager of the Beehive Hair Salon in Fairmount. In 2010 she and her business partner sold the business, and Shaw began exploring other career options.
Shaw said her passions lie in “being in and around and exploring nature.” Since then she has had a few jobs working in parks and for other nature-based programs, though none for more than a few years. In 2014 she completed Temple’s Masters in Landscape Architecture with a concentration in ecological restoration. Shaw said the program “blended both scientific field studies and interventions with traditional landscape design and engineering.”
This spring Shaw discovered the opening for project manager for FOW, though it might be more accurate to say the position found her.
“A friend of mine emailed it to me and said ‘you need to apply for this job’,” Shaw said.
In fact, several people contacted her to urge her to pursue the position with FOW. Shaw applied for the job, and this July she found out she had gotten it.
Before her position for FOW Shaw worked as a project manager and resident engineer for the NYC parks and recreation department. Shaw was also prepared for her new position by a variety of internships in graduate school, such as a stormwater landscape monitor for Andropogon and Associates, as well as a position for the Wissahickon Watershed Association doing habitat assessment and monitoring. Though she is incredibly qualified for her new position as project manager in a professional capacity, Shaw has also had a deep connection with the Wissahickon for many years.
“Shortly after I moved to Philly in 1996 I discovered the Wissahickon Park,” Shaw said.
Shaw’s connection to the park was immediate. She lives in East Falls and said that “one of the reasons I chose to live there was I could walk right into the park.” Shaw has been volunteering with the Wissahickon as a trail ambassador since 2008 and has interned and studied in and around the area while in graduate school.
Shaw is a perfect fit for her new position; however, she will still be met with many challenges. New and challenging projects have already made themselves known, as well as the dozen or so smaller projects that can be expected to present themselves in the months to come.
“[What is] both challenging and exciting is that there is a lot of project work,” Shaw said. She added that she thinks her new job will be “incredibly interesting, exciting and fun.” One of the larger projects Shaw will be working on will be the restoration of Forbidden Drive.
Shaw is excited for her new position, and her passion for the park and admiration for those who work there serve to propel her towards success.
“The park is an amazing gem of a resource for Philadelphia and the region,” Shaw said. “Both [for] historic and cultural reasons as well as environmental reasons. I’m hoping that my work here can help to forward the work of the friends.”
Shaw said she hopes to “to be able to really push the envelope” when it comes to projects and community involvement. Shaw looks forward to being able to create partnerships with local educational resources, as well as help facilitate the work the Wissahickon has already been doing around experimenting with new practices, mitigating the practices of urbanization and addressing concerns surrounding climate change.
The incredible influence that the Wissahickon has had on Shaw’s life is evident when she talks about her new job. According to Shaw her experience with the Wissahickon “cemented [her] decision to change her career.”
“The Wissahickon park has been a thread in my life since I moved here,” Shaw said. Her love for the park and hope for its future leaves no doubt that this is the perfect job for her.
“I’ve been involved with and have seen the FOW’s impact on the park,” Shaw said. “[This impact has] been positive. I really respect and admire the work that was done prior to me coming on board, I really hope to be able to build on that and forward the work that’s been done” | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/24/friends-of-the-wissahickon-names-new-project-manager/ | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/489d0f3c0dd452ce4fa65d1b3820ee53605f4e85cfa80b4ec8b8d2de6e73b77d.json |

In early August, Mount St. Joseph Academy field hockey players got to watch their MSJ forerunners Katie and Julia Reinprecht perform for the United States in the 2016 Olympic Games. Soon, though, the current Mounties were taking up their own sticks to begin training for the 2016 season.
Head Coach Tina Reinprecht was still down in Rio with her daughters for the first week, so familiar assistants MaryBeth Stefanowicz and Vanessa Fry ran the show when practices got underway on August 15. During that first week, the Inter-Ac League schools had not yet started their pre-season workouts, so the Magic were able to go over to Germantown Academy and train on an artificial turf surface, something which Mount St. Joseph still lacks.
In addition to a seasoned coaching staff, the 2016 Mount franchise will have strong senior leadership, including that provided by tri-captains Margot Biamon, Marge Lynch, and Ava Self. Lynch, a Norwood Fontbonne Academy alum, made a verbal commitment to play for Princeton University a year ago, and Self has decided she’ll sign on with Lafayette College.
The other seniors on the team are Gabby Egan, Suzanne Kushnerick, and Hanna Poliwoda. Egan is one of the candidates to step into the goal cage, hoping to continue the legacy of a very solid multi-year starter, Allison McMullen. Two other potential candidates are last year’s JV keepers, current sophomores Maeve McCarthy and Claire Maguire.
A total of 11 seniors graduated off of the 2015 Mount roster, and as with McMullen, their loss will primarily be felt at the defensive end of the pitch. Last fall, a lot of the Magic’s scoring and offensive transition was generated by sophomores and freshman. Natalie McNamara, Mary Kate Stefanowicz, and Grace Wallis are back as juniors, and Julianna Kratz and Ellie Maransky are now sophomores.
The overall speed of this group helped make the Mount an exciting team to watch last season. Wallis, who comes from St. Genevieve’s School just down the street (like Kratz), has committed to play for the University of Virginia.
Norwood grad Jax Nyzio, a junior, moved up into the varsity line-up during the latter part of the 2015 campaign, and another 11th-grader showing promise is Ashley Moore. Stepping up alongside sophomores Kratz and Maransky is their classmate Mari Kniezewski, another Norwood product.
Last fall Mount St. Joseph finished second within the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies, and then advanced to the quarterfinals of the District 1 Class AAA (large school) tournament. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/29/attack-minded-mounties-back-for-another-stick-season/ | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/835e84c8a8a64e4bd9cb3cccb99d5ded57e493527e7eff1df432e4efdd5e033c.json |

This is generally the time when the panic sets in. As the days of August drip away and school looms, we’re reminded that the summer is nearly over. As imperceptible as that is for adults (at least those of us who don’t teach), every summer is an epoch for kids. School is the signal that a time of fun and summer camp is about to end.
It may be hard to remember what it was like as a kid, but you can see it in the attitudes of children. They brace themselves for the abrupt transition – they know a schedule of math classes, homework and too-brief recesses is about to be thrust upon them.
As much as children dread the onset of school, studies have shown that most parents also dread the start of the school year.
It seems counterintuitive. Many parents I know are eager to get their kids back into school and happy to be done with the summer scheduling and shuttling between various camps and other daytime care. But a parent’s primary role – to worry – is never done.
For some, their child may be about to start at a new school. In the city, transportation to the magnet and charter schools attended by many Northwest Philly children is a patchwork of buses and trains. It’s hard not to worry about your child the first time he or she gets on SEPTA bound for Center City.
Parents also worry about how their child will do academically. They worry about how their children will do when they try out for that sports team. They worry if their child will be able to get along with classmates. They worry about bullying, new teachers, dating and a host of other things that happen to children once they’re off to school, out of the house and on their own.
This would be the paragraph where I offer advice to avoid the stresses and likely perils of the coming school year. But I don’t have any. I f nothing else, know if you’re stressed out that you’re not alone. Brace yourself. School is about to start.
A plug
For public school students in Philadelphia, this year marks a decided boost in morale. It’s the first year in several in which the year will begin without a sense of impending doom due to budget shortfalls. With some 500 new teachers set to enter the school system, the district is reportedly 97 percent staffed.
Still, there is a great need in the city for school supplies. Global Citizen, an organization run by local resident Todd Bernstein, is running a supply drive through Sept. 2. Everything from pencils and paper to calculators and bottles of hand sanitizer are welcome. Locally, both High Point Café locations are accepting drop-offs for the drive. Those locations are 602 Carpenter Lane and 7210 Cresheim Road. For more info see globalcitizen365.org/schoolsupplies/.
Donate and help other parents, students and teachers feel a little less stressed this school year.

The girls’ soccer team at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy has had a significant makeover, as was apparent in the Blue Devils’ first official practices last week.
The new head coach is Maria DeGeorge Kosmin, who came out of the strong high school program at Archbishop Ryan and went on to star at Arcadia University (’06). Throughout her four-year career there, she was not only a starter, but also a First Team all-star in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. She set records for single-season points and assists, and was recently inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
The mother of two has been an assistant coach with her former college team for the past five seasons. Now her assistant at SCH will be her brother, Tom DeGeorge, who also earned Hall of Fame status as a star at Arcadia. They are both club coaches with the PA Rush organization.
The team they’re taking over at Springside Chestnut Hill only graduated two seniors from the 2015 roster, but one of them was the school’s all-time leading scorer. Meghan McCool, a member of the U.S. Under-20 Team, is now playing for NCAA powerhouse University of Virginia, where she scored a goal in her very first collegiate contest on August 19.
Fortunately for the Blue Devils, they have two larger classes of seniors and juniors bringing their experience to the pitch this fall. The seniors are Audrey Brown, Jazmin Conteras, Taylor Ferry, Martha Kerbel, Alex McHugh, and Joy Wilson.
Early on in the first week of practice, it was uncertain whether their classmate Destini Curry will be returning to the team as the starting goalkeeper. If not, SCH will be scrambling to fill the cage in a hurry, although current sophomores Sena Houessou-Adin and Mo’ne Davis each have seen a little varsity action as goalies.
Anchoring the offensive and defensive ends of the field, respectively, are two juniors who have already made verbal college commitments, Emily McNesby (Tennessee) and Grace Rorke (Dartmouth). One of their talented classmates, marking specialist Marissa Brown, will be out this season due to an ACL injury.
The other juniors on the roster are Bridget Hennessy, Aliyah Jefferies, and Lucy Lamb, and in addition to the two goalie prospects (who both have played field positions, as well), the sophomore class includes Nayah Moore and Kylie Quinn.
Two juniors have younger sisters who are members of the freshman class; Abbie Rorke is moving up from the eighth grade at SCH, while Meghan McNesby is a new student at the school.

It takes time, decades of time, for a tree to accumulate enough mass to elicit from an observer, “Wow! what a tree!” To observe a century-plus tree stimulates the imagination to wonder about the times when the tree was young.
There are many such trees in Germantown. Trees that were planted more than a century ago on grounds that were developed beginning in the 18th century. Trees of age, like the Boyer street Butternut (Juglans cinerea), are remnants from another time.
Many of the impressive trees we admire today in Germantown originated from Thomas Meehan’s nursery. The Meehan family home at Chew and Phil-Ellena streets is now the Emmanuel Johnson Funeral Home. The 75 acre nursery’s rough boundaries were between Chew and the railroad (Sprague and Belfield), and between Gorgas and Upsal streets.
The nursery rows ran perpendicular to Chew Avenue. One can still imagine rows of trees represented now by the planting islands in the middle of Phil-Ellena, E. Hortter, Vernon, and Montana streets. There are still rows of Ginkgo and Cedrella trees and stone piers and old nursery offices. Meehan Street bears the nursery family name.
Meehan, an English gardener trained at Kew, emigrated at age 22 in 1848 to accept a position offered by Robert Buist at his nursery on Darby Road. Buist recommended the young man to A. M. Eastwick as “botanist, landscape gardener, and farmer” to maintain his Bartram Botanic Garden.
In addition to these skills, Meehan also was a prolific writer who published “The American Handbook of Ornamental Trees” while at Bartram’s. In 1854, Meehan purchased three acres of land in Germantown and began his nursery career.
By the time of the 1876 Centennial in Philadelphia, the Germantown or Wissahickon Nursery was growing more than 750 kinds of trees, shrubs, and vines on 75 acres of productive land. Meehan loved the American trees. And, as Bartram before him, shipped bundles of Sassafras, Dogwoods, Beech and Oak, Tulip and Tupelo to England and France through his agent in England, S. Mendelson.
Meehan’s nursery sold wholesale and retail. Meehan knew a good tree when he saw it. And so, when he became acquainted with the Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) displayed in a bed of Japanese plants by S.B.Parsons & Son at the Centennial Exposition, he propagated and sold the tree. Indeed, the Japanese Maple became a popular motif in advertisements for the the nursery.
Have you ever admired the century old lovely Japanese Maples all over Germantown, Mt. Airy, and Chestnut Hill and wondered where they came from? Chances are from Meehan’s nursery. Meehan re-discovered the Pink Dogwood (Cornus florida var. Rubra) growing in the Wissahickon woods and introduced it to the trade.
A prolific writer, he published more than 100 articles for the Academy of Natural Science and wrote and published “The Gardner’s Monthly” and “Meehan’s Monthly,” popular periodicals sold by subscription with a wide distribution.
Meehan was a contemporary of Frederick Law Olmstead and, like Olmstead, believed the quality of the of the urban environment affected the well-being of the individual. And that every citizen had a right to healthy green spaces. He led the City Parks movement in Philadelphia. As a member of the Common Council, he introduced legislation to purchase land for parks. Stenton, Juniata, Weccacoe, and Vernon parks are his legacy.
Councilman Meehan was able to save the house and garden most dear to his kind heart when in 1891 Bartram’s Garden became a city park. On July 4th, 1893, at the opening of Vernon Park, he was presented with a solid silver plague that reads, “Presented to Thomas Meehan by his fellow citizens of Philadelphia in grateful acknowledgement of his services while a member of the Councils of Philadelphia, 1883-1892 in establishing small Parks in the several sections of the city for the health and enjoyment of its citizens.”
I don’t know why Meehan is not so well known and celebrated, as he so truly deserves. I do think of him when admiring an old massive tree, or exploring the remnants of his Germantown nursery. I feel connected to him – one whom I consider to be the father of city parks in Philadelphia. For it was in those parks as a boy that I was inspired by nature. Parks make the city of concrete and asphalt habitable.

Part 1 | null | null | www.chestnuthilllocal.com | by Hugh Gilmore
First, I’ll tell you about hell for seniors. Our son Andrew is 29, smart and sweet, but doesn’t drive because he has limited vision. He doesn’t have “street smarts” either, at least not enough to go alone to Delaware and Frankford Avenues to attend an end-at-midnight rock concert. Thus his mom, Janet, and I became the first among our peers to ever attend a dialed-up rock concert at Philadelphia’s newest concert venue, the Fillmore, last week.
The occasion was the farewell tour of the Go-Go’s. If you’ve been asleep for the past 37 years, the Go-Go’s are, as Wikipedia puts it, “the first and only all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts.”
Playing highly amplified guitar, bass, drums and vocals, they started as punk rockers, switched to pop, and are now regarded as as among the first of the “new wave” groups. Okay, I thought, I’d just as soon be home reading in bed, but at least it will be a novelty for me to see female hard rockers in person for the first time.
For you readers with gray hair, I’ll tell you what it’s like to go to a modern rock concert in a concert venue that is not an auditorium with assigned seats).
First: They do not hide the security guards. They are everywhere. Event venues for young people need to let them know the school principal is on site. At some places, the sight of them is oppressive, like entering a third world prison. At others, like the Fillmore, they are friendly and helpful, and the sight of them makes you feel safer (especially after the Tampa massacre). You must empty your pockets and pass through a metal detector to get in.
Second, since I am older and “my word is my bond,” and I am a responsible adult who puts out the trash weekly and pays his taxes and would never “sneak-in” anywhere, it felt rather intrusive to have a stranger take my hand and stamp a green ink design on it. Before I could react, someone else had taken my left wrist and put a green paper band around it. I was also told I could not reenter if I left the building. (I know they have good reasons for their policy, but I sure felt trapped when they told me that.)
Andrew wanted a ride and a guide, but did not want to be seen at the concert with his parents hovering about. Jan and I would be on our own once we helped Andrew get oriented to the building and the lavatories. So, you might wonder, why didn’t we just go to our seats and wait for the concert to end? The answer: There are no seats (!) at these rock shows. For $46 each, Jan and I had purchased the right to stand on the floor before the stage. Andrew wanted to be on the floor so he could really feel the crowd’s energy. (To be entirely correct, there are usually a few side tables and chairs at these places, usually. First come first served.)
We weren’t about to stand for three hours in the stage area so we decided to seek the lee side so we could ride out the storm we’d cruised into. By which I mean the WALL OF SOUND – a tape mix of pounding music blasting the lobby, so powerfully and unrelentingly as to immediately hurt, literally hurt, our ears. Jan and I could communicate only by screaming, mouth an inch away from ear. And this was not the show! It was merely the ambient music, setting the mood. In contrast to us, all the younger people (25 to 50?) smiled and started bouncing to this beat the moment they heard it. Jan and I held our ears and renewed our hunt for a niche to escape to.
A balcony, maybe. We tried the staircase, but were stopped by a security guard. Downstairs only tonight. We hurried over to another crowded lobby. The loud noise, huge space and dim lighting, plus the sight of everyone else having fun, made us feel even odder and more confused.
We left and went back to the first lobby, which had two long, horseshoe-shaped bars. We ran into a young couple we knew. Their expressions of delight and surprise at seeing us seemed to say, “Wow, how cool are are the Gilmore’s? Gray hair and all, they know a good time when they see it.” Unable to talk to them in lobby-scream, we excused ourselves by smiling (wincing, actually) and waving bye-bye.
We sought refuge in a high-ceiling, very cool-looking room, your dream nightclub look, which was wasted on us because of the noise. A very long bar ran across the room. I got a beer (plastic cup) and Jan ordered a light meal that came on a cardboard plate with a plastic spoon. We endured the noise as long as it took Janet to eat, then went out through the lobby again, and luckily found a plastic sofa near the entrance where we could at least sit while we waited out the ordeal.
The ear pain (despite ear plugs we’d brought) was still awful, but we couldn’t leave. Such love parents have for their children. Jan tried to nap. I kept remembering a recent New Yorker article by Alex Ross, the music critic. It described all the ways in which various governments, including our own, used music (literally) as a means of torture.
So there we were: two tired seniors, huddled on a sofa, pounded by noise. Though the show was slated for 8 p.m. and we’d been there since 7, the Go-Go’s did not come on until 10. The minute they started, the lobby emptied. Of all but us and the EMTs, emphasizing our weirdness – like the tide gone out on a pair of stranded sea turtles.
And then, as we sat balled up on the sofa, there appeared – strange and wondrous to behold – a young man wearing a beautiful suit. Like Aladdin’s genie, he bade us to come along. We did. And suddenly our evening became magical.

There is no better way to dive headfirst into autumn than with a shopping spree – especially when it also gives you the chance to enjoy the fall weather. The renowned Clover Market will give shoppers in Chestnut Hill that opportunity when it comes to town on Sunday, Sept. 11.
The esteemed Clover Market is an outdoor bazaar featuring vendors specializing in antiques, art, and homemade goods. Since its creation in 2010, the market has grown in size and prestige, now appearing in Chestnut Hill, Bryn Mawr, Philadelphia, and Collingswood, N. J. Shoppers flock to these one-day sales to find unique and often handcrafted merchandise in an exciting outdoor atmosphere.
“It’s fun!” is how the Clover Market was described by founder Janet Long. “It’s vibrant, full of color and inspiration, with lots of great food, family and dog-friendly and right in the heart of the downtown districts which makes for a terrific day of shopping and eating. I know our customers value the quality and craftsmanship that they see from the vendors, and enjoy purchasing locally and independently made products. They appreciate the time and care that goes into developing each show, on our end and from each of the vendors.”
Long created the Clover Market in 2010 after being inspired by European open-air markets, which she felt had no counterpart in the Philadelphia area.
“There wasn’t anything similar in our area that combined antiques and art together in one place,” she explained. “I hoped to fill the gap between flea markets and higher end, more specialized shows or galleries. In an online-heavy world, I also loved the idea of creating a physical gathering place, or experience, which was committed to highlighting local small businesses.”
Since its creation, the market has grown to multiple locations, including Chestnut Hill in 2013. This fall will see five Clover Markets spanning Chestnut Hill, Bryn Mawr, and Collingswood, as well as an indoor winter market at the 23rd Street Armory in Philadelphia. The market has received numerous awards and has been highlighted in multiple magazines, including Main Line Today, Flea Market Magazine, and Vintage Style Magazine.
The Sept. 11 Chestnut Hill market will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.rain or shine, and will be stationed along West Highland Ave at Germantown Ave and in the 25 W. Highland Ave. parking lot. Although this market will host the same vendors as the upcoming markets in Bryn Mawr and Collingswood, it has its own unique touches.
“Each Market definitely has its own ‘feel’ depending on the physical location, of course,” Long said. “While our mix of vendors stays the same at each event, we always incorporate local elements. So for the Chestnut Hill event, two local groups will be providing the free kids’ crafts: The Waldorf School of Philadelphia and Nest Chestnut Hill. Brenda’s Cat Rescue, a local nonprofit, will also be hosting meet and greets with their adoptable animals. And, of course, we’re located right in the heart of a vibrant downtown with an abundance of retail and restaurant options, so we always encourage customers to ‘shop the market and shop the town.’”
The shopping experience is made worthwhile as only the best of the best vendors are chosen. All prospective vendors must complete the application process, regardless of whether they have participated in the market before. In this way the selection of vendors is able to be shaped and crafted to create the best possible lineup every year.
“In reviewing the vendors, we look for quality and uniqueness of their items, a clear visual voice and cohesive product line, the fit with the overall aesthetic of the Market, and the mix of sellers in each vending category,” Long said. “Almost as important is how the vendors present their inventory. This includes everything from the small details like packaging and labels to the overall setup within the tent. We’re looking for people who love creating a beautiful ‘shop for the day’ in a 10-foot square tent … all in a few hours time!”
Having now run Clover Market for six years, Long is a seasoned pro in the flea market scene. Nevertheless, the day of the market never fails to excite her.
“I love seeing it come together on the day of the event,” she said. “There’s so much work and planning that happens ahead of time, but at the end of our load in, to see all of the tents set up, and to feel the excitement in the air just before we open, it’s just electric.”
For art or antique lovers or simply those looking to score some unique, handcrafted merchandise, the Clover Market will be an exhilarating day of shopping and enjoyment. Shoppers are encouraged to bring the whole family, as they may discover a “lucky find” among the treasure of the Clover Market. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/30/clover-market-returns-to-hill-sept-11/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/6e74b4f30df4c0fe943242aa93823c80c7c17113f3c164c5d5419d16cfe703e3.json |

The religious dimensions of this election season are reminiscent of the 1840s, the time when a “Know Nothing” political party formed around the notion that America was under attack by agents of the Vatican.
As during those times, a powerful minority of nativist Americans reacted to the influx of immigrants with alarm, fearful that the white Protestant foundations of American society were about to be replaced by the evil institutions of nasty foreigners.
At the 2016 Republican Convention, former Congressman Newt Gingrich gave a speech supporting the nomination of Donald Trump in which he declared:
“If our enemies had their way, every person on earth would be subject to conversion by the sword and to a cruel and violent system of law. There would be no individual liberty. There would be no equality. There would be no freedom. If you doubt we are at war, if you doubt that the threat is as real as I say, let me refresh your memory.”
Whereupon he recited the list of Islamist terror attacks here and abroad that have made headline news over the past year. After these reminders, he said:
“Which brings us to the heart of the matter; we are sleepwalking through history as though this is all about politics. It is not. It is about our safety and our survival as a country. We cannot keep in place the people and the systems that have brought us to this point and then lie to us every single day about the threat. That is why every American should be terrified at the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Hillary Clinton has been right at the center of this dishonesty.”
This is a point of view that Democrats tend to dismiss as alarmist and exaggerated, as Republicans cynically playing the fear card, an indication that the GOP cannot compete with the Democratic Party on domestic issues and turns instead to outdated, militaristic patriotism as a way to stoke the emotions of the electorate. While I acknowledge that there is some of that, and that no one is more cynical and adept at this rhetoric than Gingrich, the popular fear of Islam is a powerful reality and much more influential than progressive Democrats are willing to acknowledge.
In our affluent Northeastern neighborhoods, we are unlikely to meet people who share Gingrich’s fears. We talk to each other and seem genuinely baffled by Trump’s appeal. How many conversations have you had in which the subject was the people who support Trump because they are racist, bigoted, xenophobic, and stupid. We all live in a bubble.
To what extent does 2016 differ from 1844? The ISIS form of Islam is very real and very dangerous – terrifying. But, as hard as it is to imagine Irish Americans as evil, that loathing instigated murderous, arsonist riots so fierce that our Philadelphia streets had to be policed by thousands of militia (the 19th century’s National Guard) who’d been invited to our city to smother the violence.
In the November 1844 election, a nativist won the Philadelphia congressional seat. In our day, many Americans perceive Muslims as people who want to see us dead or as subjects to their law. The extent to which such a perception is a reality is at the heart of the 2016 presidential election.
We have a right to expect our government to do all in its power to prevent atrocities before they happen. But there are great risks in allowing such a perception to guide our domestic police. We’ve already witnessed an alarming militarization of our police forces, and the establishment of a huge governmental apparatus that often uses Gestapo-like powers to make the lives of minorities miserable. So we must be as careful to protect our democratic freedoms as we are to protect our restaurants, airports and other public places.
It is one thing to be watchful against gun and bomb massacres, it is something altogether different to conduct foreign affairs as a belligerent in a religious war. That’s precisely what Putin does to justify his police state and operations in the Ukraine and on Turkey’s southern border. In May of this year, the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church declared Russia to be engaged in a Holy War.
Putin and the Patriarch are in complete agreement on the Christian justification for their current wars. I wonder whether a President Trump would ally with Russia in a global war on terror. Certainly, there is little space between the Putin and Trump viewpoints regarding an Islamist threat. In August of 2015 Putin addressed the Duma, Russia’s Legislature, and delivered this speech, one of the shortest on record and followed by a five-minute standing ovation:
“In Russia, live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, it should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslims then we advise them to go to those places where that’s the state law. Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell ‘discrimination.’ We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture.
“We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslim minorities are not Russians.”
Much has been made of Trump’s possible business dealings in Russia, with no evidence that such ties exists. Others have written about the Putin and Trump’s mutual admiration for each other’s leadership style. But there are more worrisome connections.
Perhaps we should consider the recent hacks of Democratic Party databases as moves in a game of chess, a sort of intelligence warfare that Grand Master Putin learned as a lieutenant colonel in the KGB. I believe that Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich, and a major segment of the American electorate would support a Crusader alliance with Russia. | http://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/2016/08/24/donald-trumps-holy-war/ | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.chestnuthilllocal.com/78d817766731ef2e06e70d2e7f4d951b95fe44a6eb86ff766c691ad9db1fe018.json |

The 23-year-old opening batsman, who took over the leadership of Yorkshire’s one-day sides last December, has helped mastermind a stunning turnaround in form which sees Yorkshire as favourites with most bookmakers to lift the trophy.
As a young and inexperienced captain, Lees must have felt the pressure of Yorkshire’s poor start to the tournament more than most.

But he has shown great character and maturity to help get their campaign back on track, and he said he is relishing the chance to lead them out at Edgbaston today.
“Definitely. It’s always an honour to represent the White Rose, so the opportunity to lead the side in a Finals Day is massive,” said Lees, who is Yorkshire’s youngest full-time limited overs captain having taken over the role from Championship leader Andrew Gale.
“I’ve not been to a Finals Day as a player before, but I have watched a few on television.
“The atmosphere is always electric, and I can’t wait to get out there and, hopefully, we can play some good cricket and entertain the crowd.”
Yorkshire go into today’s event with confidence high after seven wins in their last eight T20 games.
Lees attributes the transformation to the players discovering a sense of belief.
“We were obviously disappointed with the early-season results, but we never felt that we were far away from playing some very good cricket,” said Lees.
“I think the turning point in our white-ball cricket this season was Lythy’s (Adam Lyth) knock against Northants at Scarborough (in the Royal London Cup).
“He played with real freedom that day, and that has given the rest of the squad confidence to go out and express themselves in both competitions.
“We’ve got a lot of talented players, and everyone understands their roles and we’ve backed ourselves and taken a very positive approach, looking to put as much pressure as possible on the opposition.
“Hopefully, we can take take approach into the semi-final against Durham.”
Lees is expecting a tough test against a Durham team boosted by the return of England’s Ben Stokes. But he believes that his own side have more than enough firepower to beat them.
“Durham are a very good side with some very experienced players who know their games inside out,” said Lees.
“We will have to play very well to defeat them and to progress to the final, but we know that we have the players on the day to do just that.
“We’ve been playing some great T20 cricket at just the right time, and I’m confident in the strength of our team. Everyone’s been contributing, and it’s a proper team effort to get to this stage.”
No-one has contributed more than Lees, who is Yorkshire’s leading run-scorer in the tournament with 272 at 22.66.
He is just ahead of David Willey, who has hit 269 runs at 29.88, while Lyth, Jack Leaning and Kane Williamson have also scored more than 200 runs for the county in this year’s competition, with Williamson having featured briefly as an overseas player before rejoining New Zealand for international action.
Tim Bresnan leads Yorkshire’s wicket-taking list with 20 at 16.20, with spinners Adil Rashid (14 at 18.85) and Azeem Rafiq (13 at 18.69) coming next on the chart.
“I feel like I’ve been hitting the ball nicely all season,” said Lees, who made 85 and 114 not out in the draw against Lancashire in the County Championship at Old Trafford last week.
“It was nice to get some runs in the Roses game, and, hopefully, I can take that form into the semi-final.” | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/t20-finals-day-adam-lyth-s-knock-the-spark-for-yorkshire-s-white-ball-momentum-alex-lees-1-8078722 | en | 2016-08-19T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/90bde3d19da69ae258af53dc4a82d3e16402dd3fdb0081acc5915ea85593e328.json |

Finding Dory is probably the most worthy sequel to Finding Nemo that we have got.
This is coming from someone who months ago was disliking the idea of a Finding Dory even coming out in the first place. Let alone a Toy Story 4 or Cars 3. Surprising I know.
A year after the events of Finding Nemo Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so remembers that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child.
With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin, Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them.
Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save mom and dad from captivity.
What makes this film work are a few things.
One is that It does not rely on nostalgia for the original film and actually has the nerve to set up new characters while also explore aspects that where never really explained in "Nemo" for example did anyone wonder "where did Dory come from? and the film takes the time to explore her mental illness but also develop her as a character.
This is the most engaging aspect of the film and it sets up some really heartfelt moments that do feel genuine and earned.One thing people where worried about is whether or not if Dory (a likeable supporting character) would work for a main character in her own movie because Pixar's last sequel Cars 2 had a supporting character turned into a main character in Mater.
If you have seen the film when it came out then you will know how badly that turned out. In the case of this Dory worked as a main character and she never once got annoying or tiresome and her playing of the new characters such as provided for some good laughs.
You get wrapped up in her story and Ellen DeGeneres has not lost a step in her portrayal for the character same goes to Albert Brooks as Marlin who's sarcastic personality added a lot of the humour.
The new characters where also a nice touch such as Hank the octopus who is the best audition to the film. His grouchy humour gives him a lot charm and you grow to feel for Hank's and Dory's chemistry as the film progresses and both share some of the more heartfelt scenes.
And what would a good Pixar film would be without some moments that pull your heartstrings.
Admittedly Finding Dory does not have the same emotional weight as "Nemo" but when it hits it hits hard.
My only issues with this film is that I feel the plot felt a bit rushed in some places and while the animation is beautiful and well realised it does not push the boundaries as expected from Pixar.
But when its all said and done Finding Dory was a real surprise. It may not be as good as "Nemo" (But it was never going to be now was it) but its a highly enjoyable, Sweet and fun family film that makes fans nostalgic for the original without having to just rely on nostalgia. This is another strong effort from Pixar and it looks like their starting to get their game back.
Rating: 4/5
Oh and stay through the credits. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/new-movies-how-good-is-finding-dory-1-8056203 | en | 2016-08-08T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/15f86f0489ad5f97edad2e5b86f1c00f3c0a381407b6c2b9a569e8da18b0ab89.json |

Throughout August, special menus, on-site events and promotions, charity raffles and silent auctions will take place at CAU Harrogate to mark a month of Latin American festivities.
Celebrating in style, CAU have teamed up with world-class barbecue sensation Christian Stevenson aka DJ BBQ as their official festival friend, bringing a splash of colour and taste of South America to Harrogate.
Based at the Westgate House off Station Parade, as the athletes compete in the sunshine of Rio, CAU Harrogate will be throwing its culinary talents into #CAUnival which is also a charitable campaign which supports international humanitarian organisation Action Against Hunger.
It's all been inspired by the South American Dia del Amigo - a public holiday across Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay that celebrates friendship, kindness and sharing - values that CAU and Action Against Hunger both share.
The 'showstopper' during this Olympics month at will probably be the #CAUnival burger.
Lovingly created by chef duo dream team, DJ BBQ and CAU Executive Chef James Garland, it's been hailed as the best-tasting-burger this side of the Pacific.
Diners will also be treated to a bespoke #CAUnival playlist that will be built and played in each restaurant, with a limited edition playlist created especially by DJ BBQ, to be made available on vinyl.

Drummer vocalist Isaac Holman and band mate Laurie Vincent, on guitar and vocals, play Leeds Festival main stage on Sunday after Reading Festival on Saturday.
And they say northern fans are often more wild than anywhere else in the country.
"I don't know if we can take control of the Leeds crowd but I'll give it a good old go," laughed Isaac, promising fans 'blood, sweat and laughs'.
AUDIO: Listen to Slaves star Isaac Holman's exclusive chat with Graham Walker - CLICK HERE.
"We are a southern band so we did a bit better down south at first. But the northern crowds are even more wild for us now than down south sometimes. I think Leeds is going to go off.
"It's completely what I live for. I love playing live. It's the only time my mind goes quiet and I feel comfortable when I step out on stage. The more people there the merrier."
GET LEEDS AND READING FESTIVAL APP: Daily set times for Reading and Leeds Festivals are now live on the R&L App - iTunes and Android.
Slaves are on the same bill as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Imagine Dragons and Courteeners.
Other superstar bands playing this weekends include Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, Foals, Disclosure, The Vaccines and Chvrches - along with rising local stars, such as South Yorkshire's own Radio 1 hitmakers The Sherlocks. Leeds Festival is set to attract around 80,000 people.
Isaac, who also revealed they still get starstruck, said it will be a highlight of their year which also includes a 15 date UK headline tour in November and the release of next album Take Control on September 30.
Isaac added: "Sometimes you get starstruck. Me and Laurie definitely do fanboy some people we meet. But the more you get into the scene you realise everyone is just a person and it becomes a little bit more normal.
"We've worked our way up through the stages. Being main stage is like another level - Leeds and Reading were the festivals we went to when we were younger and I don't think we ever imagined we would be on the bill let alone on the main stage. It's brilliant."
Slaves, from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, will be laying waste to venues across the country as they launch into a full UK tour in November. Yorkshire dates include Leeds O2 Academy on Tuesday, November 15 and Sheffield O2 Academy, on Friday, November 25.
See full tour, ticket details and album download links links below.
Slaves earned a reputation for themselves as one of the UK’s fiercest live acts with their constant touring and festival appearances off the back of last year's debut album, Are you Satisfied?
Their next hit album in waiting was part recorded at Jackson Browne’s studio in Santa Monica, California.
Take Control was produced by one of the legends of early hip hop and New York punk, Mike D who, says Laurie, “Became like another member of our band – we can safely call him our friend, which is just surreal!”
The album finds the young pair sharpening up their skills, both in songwriting and in execution and sounding heavier in places.
Several tracks on the album were recorded on vintage equipment used by the Beastie Boys on their classic records, Including STD’s PhD’s, Angelica and Consume Or Be Consumed.
Recorded back home in London, Steer Clear was a collaboration with another hero, Baxter Dury, who lent his distinctive vocals to a duet with Isaac.
Slaves first emerged in 2012, working their way up through the local toilet-venue circuit to become one of the success stories of 2015.
The band’s debut album Are You Satisfied? smashed in to the UK top 10 and earned the band huge critical acclaim. Thanks to their charismatic mash-up of punky urgency and silly humour, they bagged Kerrang!’s Spirit Of Punk award and NME’s Best Video award (for Cheer Up London), while also securing nominations for the Mercury Music Prize, and for Best New Band at Q and NME.
Along the way, they’ve won the hearts of The Streets’ Mike Skinner, stolen the show on last year’s NME tour, had Skepta join them on stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and toured with Jamie T and Wolf Alice – the latter in America in March, after which Wolf Alice’s drummer Joel Amey bunked off to California to play on new track People That You Meet.

Walk past the main gates of Harewood House and very soon you will see a door in the stone wall indicating the start of a permissive footpath.
Once through this door follow the broad, muddy path into the woods where it continues parallel to the road.
Soon you reach a broad surfaced area enclosed by timber fencing.
Go through the gates and turn right to follow a broad path through the parkland.
There are sheep here so dogs should be in close control and there are lovely views across the parkland towards Harewood House on your right and the rolling countryside of Wharfedale beyond.
The path runs downhill, note the new planting on your left where the estate is working to continue this parkland for future generations.
From the established deciduous woodland also on your left you may be able to hear Jays screeching, but you seldom see them.
At the bottom of the hill go through another timber gate into a wildlife conservation area.
There are lots of Doggy Bins here – well done Harewood Estate, much nicer for all walkers and safer for the sheep.
Go over a pretty stone bridge, called New Bridge (look to your left and you will see waterfalls at the end of the stretch of river which is visible).
Follow the bridleway path to your left along the well marked path.
Pass an area of mown grass on your left and up a slight slope to where the path goes off to the right hand side below the sycamore trees.
The path continues past and old timber waymarker with LCW on it indicating ‘Leeds Countryside Way’ (this is part of that route).
At the cross roads where there are waymarkers on either side of the track, continue straight on and leave the LCW which leads off to the left past an old stone wall.
After a very short distance during which you will enjoy the sound of thrushes and blackbirds singing in the tree canopy above you, take a steep path off to the right hand side.
This is not marked and easy to miss if you are just tootling along.
This path bends back and drops steeply down through the trees to a timber gate beside the end of a stone barn.
Go through the gate and into the parkland. The lake of Harewood House is visible to your right.
Continue along the obvious path between post and rail fencing and soon there is an old walled garden on your right hand side, cross a cattle grid and follow the lane up to where it joins a tarmac road.
Turn left and follow the surfaced road with the low stone wall on your right.
At the neat triangular green head diagonally left and over a little stone bridge.
Continue to a timber gate where you will see a yellow square way-marker.
Go through the gate and into Harwood Yard, the commercial part of the Harwood Estate.
The bridleway is clearly marked between two white line across the tarmac and up the road in front of you.
Follow this to an especially tall metal gate beside an especially broad cattle grid.
This is the deer park.
Look out for deer cunningly concealed among the cattle in the fields beside the road.
At the next junction turn right, continuing along the surfaced road which now leads right back, without turning, to the village hall car park.
Part way along there is a bench for weary walkers at the top of the hill with wonderful rural views, and in the distance the Wharfedale viaduct. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/lifestyle/walk-wonderful-wharfedale-1-8027066 | en | 2016-07-23T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/40f5e17b3059b532ea63f9d77f9e014252fa4c7a4f4e4c7669676d6a9896e3fc.json |

One of the most iconic early scenes in the movie sees Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi getting our heroes past two Galactic Empire Stormtroopers using what became known as ‘the Jedi mind trick’.
As the group are quized at a roadblock on the two fugitive droids in the back of their land speeder, Kenobi waves his fingers enigmatically and plants the suggestion that “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for” into the minds of the armed soldiers.
Movie audiences realised, with this first glimpse of ‘the Force’ in action, that there’s more to this Star Wars thing than blasters and spaceships and the Jedi mind trick was established as a cultural touchstone that’s still with us today.

Harrogate Fine Wine Company has been based at the Corn Exchange Cellars for more than 30 years but have decided to expand into a vacant premises in the Montpellier Quarter.
Owner of the company Andy Langshaw said he hoped the move would be completed by the end of August and said he was excited for the shop to be in the historic quarter.
He said: “We always keep an eye out for different properties for possible relocation and when we found out this one was available we thought it would be perfect for our business.
“It’s a big move but as soon as walked into the property I knew it was the right one for what we wanted to do. We are very excited about it.
“I think the strength of our business has always been the quality of our wine and the service within it.
“You only have to sit outside of the shop with the builders there and it just feels right The difference will be incredible.
Mr Langshaw said the new premises will have two floors to offer an expanded tasting sessions for customers as well as other possibilities.
Despite the influx of a number of chain restaurants recently, Mr Langshaw said the Montpellier Quarter retained aspirit of independence.
He said: “Even though it’s already a high quality area, the Montpellier Quarter is getting stronger and stronger.
"We’re only moving 50 yards but I wouldn’t be surprised to see other businesses migrating into that area.” | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/business/harrogate-fine-wine-company-set-to-expand-into-montpellier-quarter-1-8082660 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/c86ece7fa83eeae812a79982ffecf1d3826008fbc53c53647f70a79d00adf50f.json |

The walk starts in the town and takes in the lovely Fishpond Wood near Bewerley, then heads west over deep green meadows covered in swathes of buttercup and vetch, eventually arriving at the edge of Coldstones Quarry at Greenhow.
Coldstones is a working quarry with accommodation for a viewing of modern quarrying techniques should you wish to visit. The route goes past the quarry and round Bewerley Moor to visit old lead workings at the disused Cock Hill and Providence Mines. There are lots of information boards at the mines to read about the history of lead mining in the area.
After the history lesson on mining, return to Pateley Bridge via Ashfold Side. It is a walk full of interest throughout and a must for connoisseurs of the area’s industrial heritage.
The route
Begin on the bridge in Pateley Bridge town centre which crosses the River Nidd. Head over the bridge to the starting point of the Bewerley Industrial Heritage Trail.
Set off by climbing steadily up the B6265 for a few yards before turning left and walking through Bewerley village. The designated trail misses the village and takes a path over Sugar Hill to the side of Fishpond Wood.
Don’t do it - instead walk through the village and turn right along the first lane you come to. Follow the lane, due west for about 200 yards until you reach a sign pointing into the wood. This takes you through the wood past Fishpond.
Leave Fishpond Wood and rejoin the trail, heading for the meadow fields. There are colours everywhere set against the deep green background of the grass.
Amble through the wild meadowland and ascend to Moor Houses via Haver Garth and Gillbeck Farm. After Moor Houses leave the colourful path behind and cross a metalled road to join low moorland fields. The colours are sparser now as you approach the edge of Coldstones Quarry.
The trail guide informs that it is possible to visit the quarry and see the working from a visitor gantry.
Cross a quarry road you come across the second information board of the heritage trail. This informs you are now near old medieval mine workings.
Mounds are still evidence of this industrial past which began in the 10th century under the control of the Byland and Fountains monastic houses.
Move on to Tewit Farm and crossed the Greenhow Hill Road into Galloway Pasture, which leads to the highest point of the walk near Greenhow Hill Top. Make your way over the pasture past a host of old mine shafts and cross the B6265 for the second time and make your way onto Cock Hill. This leads down to the disused workings of Cock Hill Lead Mine.
From Cock Hill Mine walk along Brandstone Beck for a short distance, then climb up a bridleway to Near Hardcastle. This takes you to the Nidderdale Way (SE121657) where you turn left and walk a short distance to the final industrial site Providence (or Prosperous) Mine. This mine is set in a wonderful location by Ashfold Side Beck.
After surveying the mining site, move on over the wooden bridge and follow Ashfold Side to Low Wood.
You are now on the return to Pateley Bridge, walking though the largest of caravan parks that nestle by the side of the beck for quite some time until emerging into open land at Corn Close.
Then make your way across fields to the side of the River Nidd and enjoy a short walk back into Pateley Bridge. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/lifestyle/walk-fascinating-history-lesson-around-pateley-bridge-1-8039379 | en | 2016-07-30T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/4ba7d39e29b24c16287a3134a0709916c121a4c6c35358ab3cb858b7d5707960.json |

Yorkshire's latest Radio 1 stars The Sherlocks had a muddy great time at Leeds Festival - they drew a crowd of more than 6,000 fans then camped out with them.
The Sheffield indie four piece turned down a five star hotel and proved they are a real band of the people.
After packing out the Festival Republic stage they decided to pitched a tent in one of the muddy camp sites.
Frontan Kiaran Crook, aged 20, revealed: "We played our set then decided to camp through the night. We had an option to go into a five star hotel, with a jacuzzi and everything, but we decided to camp.
"We just love it."
He then joked: "We ended up camping next to the Red Hot Chili Peppers- I could hear Anthony snoring.
"But no, seriously, we love it. We love a bit of mud. We just thought, we might as well have the full festival experience."
Melvin Benn, Reading and Leeds Festival boss, said: "I didn't know The Sherlocks went and pitched up in the camp site. It doesn't surprise me. It's what my kids do. They want to be in the public camp site. Anybody who thinks the VIP area is the place to be, I can tell you it's a bit more boring."
Other Yorkshire bands who played at Leeds over the weekend included Sheffield's The Wired, Liberty Ship, Bang Bang Romeo, Leeds band Dusk, Fighting Caravans, York based Faux Pas and many more.
The Sherlocks, also featuring Kiaran's brother, drummer Brandon, 23, guitarist Josh Davidson, 22, and his brother and bassist Andy, 17, recently played the biggest music festival in the world, SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The Sherlocks played to over 6,000 people then camped out with fans in muddy fields at Leeds Festival.
They also played at Reading Festival at the weekend but said Leeds, their Yorkshire homecoming, was the highlight of their year.
Kiaran added: "Leeds Festival is really important to us. It's given us a chance to pick up new fans. We had a blast. The tent was packed. It exceeded what we thought it would be.We're going on tour next month, starting in Brighton and finishing in Stockton, with a sold out gig in Leeds.
"It would be nice to do the NME/Radio 1 stage next year, I think that's where we are heading."
Brandon added: "We are at home when playing Leeds festival. Now we need to get an album out while we've got momentum behind us."
The Sherlocks, who will record their debut album later this year, begin a 16-date UK headline tour later this week, including a sold out show at The Wardrobe in Leeds, on Tuesday, September 20.

It coincides with the start of a new season of the hit BBC One show.
Strictly's most successful couple, now parents to one-year-old Valentina Rose, are returning to their family's City Limits Dancentre studio in Penistone Road, Sheffield.
They will take part in free taster sessions on Saturday, September 3, from noon to 2pm. Full details and more at www.city-limits.co.uk
City Limits is run by Sheffield born Darren's parents, former dance champions, Tony and Judith, and his twin brother Dale.
Darren, aged 39, and his Moscow wife Lilia, 37, are the most successful competitor couple of their generation, winning four British amateur championships, three UK championships and representing Great Britain at the World and European Championships.
They turned professional in 2003, winning the British National Professional Championship two years running and made the final of the World and European Championships.
But they became household names when they joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004 and won the show in consecutive years.
At his first attempt Darren, dancing with Jill Halfpenny from Eastenders, won the show and then went on to win the Champion of Champions dance off.
In 2005, Lilia waltzed off with the title while partnering Barnsley's own former Yorkshire and England cricketing star Darren Gough, after which they also went on to win the International Christmas special.
They went on to host their own West End show, Latin Fever, which they toured nationally and are today still regarded as one of Britain’s finest Latin American dance couples.
More recently they have worked on the Turkish and Lebanese versions of the Strictly TV show, Darren, born in Deepcar and brought up in Todwick, as a judge and Lilia as a consultant choreographer to the professional dancers.
Darren has also consulted on Danse Avec la Stars, the first series of the French version of Dancing with the Stars.
As well as being successful competitors and performers they have built up an International reputation as coaches, choreographers and first class trainers in both dance and corporate arenas.
They have also trained many of the top junior, youth and amateur couples, including the British Junior champions and No. 1 youth couple in the UK.
Darren's twin Dale said: "Strictly is back and we have Darren and Lilia joining us for an open day, with free taster sessions for children and adults to come along and see what being a student at City Limits is like.
"Fans can take part in one of our Ballroom and Latin classes led by Darren and Lilia.
"It runs from 2pm until 4pm, and we have a timetable of taster sessions throughout the day. Plus visitors can chat to our teachers and find out more about our new beginners' classes starting in September.

Such concerns must have crossed the minds of the Yorkshire crowd yesterday when the hosts were busy ripping through the Notts’ batting line-up with the ease of piranhas devouring their victims.
But after dismissing Notts for 94 on the stroke of lunch, after they had started day two on 38-2 in reply to their own first-innings 282, Yorkshire chose not to enforce the follow-on despite a lead of 188, thereby ensuring that the game could not be over inside two days, which had seemed eminently plausible.
As owners of local guest houses and hostelries no doubt turned cartwheels of joy, so too did those Yorkshire members who adore it at North Marine Road, with 84 per cent of them having voted in a recent survey conducted by the club to retain two Championship games there from next season.
With Yorkshire having to take one match away from Headingley or Scarborough due to changes to the fixture list, it can be taken as read that the decision will come down in the seaside town’s favour, but that is not to say that many of those Scarborough devotees were not a little baffled as to why Yorkshire – their bowlers fresh and their opponents fragile – opted to increase their lead in glorious sunshine.
It is the modern way, of course, not to enforce, and it is unlikely to make a jot of difference to the result, with Yorkshire set to close the gap to five points on leaders Middlesex with a win here, and Notts looking every inch like relegation material.
Yorkshire followed up with 200-4 in 61 overs in their second innings, Gary Ballance, the captain, scoring an unbeaten 75 to stretch the lead to a lofty 388.
Even with dodgy weather forecast today, Yorkshire’s fourth Championship victory of the season would seem as much of a formality as high and low tide.
Regardless of the question as to whether to enforce, that Yorkshire were even in a position to do so was tribute to a rousing recovery from 51-6 on day one.
Magnificent contributions from Andrew Hodd, Azeem Rafiq and Jack Brooks were mainly responsible for a revival completed by Yorkshire’s four-pronged pace attack of Brooks, Ryan Sidebottom, Tim Bresnan and Steve Patterson, who needed just 25.5 overs on the second morning to winkle out the last eight wickets.
The tone was set – as it so often is – by the venerable Sidebottom, who belied his 38 years with a splendid exhibition of swing bowling from the Peasholm Park end to take 3-5 in 12 balls and reduce Notts to 52-5.
Michael Lumb, the former Yorkshire batsman, was drawn forward and caught behind by one that shaped away; Steven Mullaney was lbw playing across the line; and Samit Patel was caught upper-cutting high to Bresnan at first slip.
Sidebottom would have had a fourth wicket with the score on 59 but Bresnan dropped a low chance at first slip, with Brendan Taylor not then off the mark.
But it was only a temporary setback for a Yorkshire side who made equally light work of the mid-to-lower order.
Chris Read miscued an attempted pull off Brooks to cover; Brett Hutton edged Brooks low to Adam Lyth at second slip; Taylor’s luck finally ran out when he played on an attempted drive off Patterson; Luke Wood flashed in foolhardy fashion at Bresnan and was caught behind, and an innings caked in collective embarrassment ended when Luke Fletcher helped Bresnan to Jack Leaning at third slip.
That Yorkshire would bat again was betrayed by the sight of openers Lyth and Alex Lees sprinting off the ground to strap on their pads, and they safely negotiated the one over that remained before lunch.
After the break, the cricket grew steadily soporific as the 5,000 crowd watched Yorkshire increase their lead in the way of builders systematically adding bricks to a house.
Lees added 30 bricks before he was lbw to Hutton, ending a first-wicket stand of 72, and Lyth followed shortly after for 41, caught and bowled by Wood off a leading edge.
Lehmann and Ballance added 61 in 22 overs before Lehmann slogged Samit Patel straight up in the air to Wood at mid-on.
Ballance, dropped on 20 when he pulled Fletcher to a diving Tom Moores at mid-wicket, advanced to a 113-ball half-century that included eight fours, and Leaning helped him add 57 before being stumped.
Play was halted seven overs early due to bad light with swooping seagulls ready to reclaim the outfield once the cricketers had left for the evening. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/yorkshire-v-notts-seaside-air-leaves-gary-ballance-in-mood-to-play-on-1-8086935 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/cfc9c1033c85ec6b1057757c75ac21958cc6e62bd6f19ad03b6232dbcfa2580e.json |

Yorkshire failed in their attempt to win the NatWest T20 Blast for the first time when they lost by seven runs to Durham in the semi-final at Edgbaston on Saturday.
However, Gillespie’s men are still in the hunt for a hat-trick of County Championships and they are through to the Royal London Cup semi-finals for a second successive season, with Yorkshire determined to put behind them their T20 heartbreak.
“We were bitterly disappointed to lose the T20 semi,” said Gillespie, “but there’s still everything to play for in the next few weeks.
“We’re still in the 50-over comp and the Championship, and we’ll dust ourselves down and crack on.
“We can look back on the T20 campaign by and large with a lot of pride, considering the way that we started the tournament (Yorkshire won only one of their first seven games before winning six of the last seven to reach the knockout stages).
“It’s a tough one to take, losing the semi, but there’s still plenty to fight for in the next few weeks, and I know that the lads will bounce back strongly.”
Yorkshire came up against a world-class display from England pace bowler Mark Wood, who captured a T20 career-best 4-25 from four overs after Durham scored 156-6 in the second semi-final, Northants beating Nottinghamshire by eight runs in the first semi-final.
Wood twice took two wickets in three balls – including the key scalps of England batsmen Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance – after Ben Stokes had earlier top-scored with 56 on his return to the Durham side after a calf injury.
“Mark Wood bowled beautifully,” said Gillespie, with Wood following that performance with 1-25 in the final against Northants, who went on to take the trophy with a four-wicket win.
“We were going along quite nicely and then we lost two quick wickets (Bairstow and Ballance), and we didn’t quite recover from that.
“I certainly felt that it was a gettable total, especially with the strength and depth of our batting line-up, and we should have chased those down.
“We can look at all sorts of reasons as to why that didn’t happen, but the facts are that we didn’t get the runs and Durham played very well.”
With hindsight, Gillespie felt that Yorkshire might have made more of an effort to see off Wood, although that was clearly easier said than done.
The 26-year-old right-armer, who only recently returned to action after ankle surgery, was bowling at 90mph and he would have been a handful for any opposition.
“Maybe we just needed to soak up the pressure a little bit more and get through his (Wood’s) spell, knowing that he only had four of the 20 overs, and maybe there are some lessons to be learned there,” said Gillespie, whose side take on Surrey in the semi-finals of the Royal London Cup at Headingley on Sunday.
“We just weren’t able to win the key moments, and Wood took the wind out of our sails.
“Any cricket watcher could see that he was used very well by the captain; he was brought on to take wickets and put the pressure on us, which is exactly what happened.”
Yorkshire captain Alex Lees echoed Gillespie’s sentiments at the end of an encouraging T20 campaign for the club overall, with Yorkshire having only once previously reached Finals Day.
Lees hit the second-highest score of 22 on a day when Adam Lyth (64) led the Yorkshire chase.
“Woody tipped the scales, and when you twice get two wickets in one over, it certainly puts the opposition on the back foot,” said Lees.
“We’re bitterly disappointed, and I just think that we lacked somebody in the middle order to make a contribution.
“Overall, we had a good tournament after everyone had written us off after the first few games, and we showed strength of character to come back and qualify and reach Finals Day. That’s testament to the group of players that we have, and the lads’ work ethic and prep was second to none.”
Attention now returns to the Championship, with Yorkshire going into tomorrow’s game against Notts at Scarborough in second place in Division One, 26 points behind Middlesex with a game in hand.

Yorkshire lost by 10 runs to Hampshire in the final at Cardiff on their only previous appearance at Finals Day.
Yorkshire's Azeem Rafiq
They have waited a long time to erase the memory of that setback, and director of cricket Moxon feels it will drive the players on at Edgbaston today.
“It was tough losing that final, and it whetted the appetite to try and win the tournament in the future,” said Moxon.

“Clearly it’s taken longer than we would have liked to get back there, and I think it’s a great opportunity for us, given the team that we’ve got on paper, to go one step further and hopefully win the competition.
“With our England players available, we’ve got a very good team, but clearly it’s about what happens on the day.
“T20, in particular, is all about how you perform on the day, and there’s four good teams involved, each of which is capable of winning it.”
Yorkshire take on Durham in the second semi-final at 2.30pm. Notts and Northants meet in the first semi at 11am, with the final taking place at 6.45pm.
“Durham are a very good team,” said Moxon.
“They’ve got match-winners in the likes of Ben Stokes and Mark Wood.
“We’ve got to be at our very best and, if we are, we can certainly beat them and hopefully go all the way and win the thing.
“The T20 is something we haven’t won before, so it’s important to us, and it would be nice to get that monkey off our backs.”
That Yorkshire even have a chance of erasing the memory of 2012 is a minor miracle given that they were bottom of the North Group at the halfway stage.
Yorkshire won only one of their opening seven games before winning six of their last seven to reach the quarter-finals.
“T20 is all about finding a method and I think that we’ve found it,” said Moxon.
“It’s taken hard work and, to a certain extent, failure for us to find it, because clearly the things that we were doing at the start of the competition weren’t working.
“From a batting point of view, we’ve worked on the areas in which we’re trying to strike the ball. They’re much better areas now.
“We’d found ourselves getting into trouble by playing too square of the wicket, so, as a consequence, we are hitting the ball a lot straighter now.
“It’s probably taken too long to change and rectify, but that’s been the biggest thing as far as the batting is concerned.
“Bowling-wise, having the skills that are required, the change-ups, and having the ability to bowl the change-ups (different deliveries) that are needed at various times in the innings, we’ve got better at that as well.
“As for our fielding, I think that’s been outstanding generally.”
Moxon was particularly pleased with Yorkshire’s fielding when Glamorgan were clinically beaten by 90 runs in the quarter-final in Cardiff.
David Willey laid the platform with a swashbuckling 79, proving again why Yorkshire were so keen to sign him last winter to improve their white-ball cricket, and the bowlers did the rest in a fine team performance.
“We brought our A-game to the quarter-final,” said Moxon.
“We were outstanding in the field, as good as you can get, and the ruthless way we went about our business was superb.
“David Willey set the tone with the bat, and we signed him precisely because we wanted to improve our one-day form immediately.
“Long-term he can have an impact in red-ball cricket too, but he’s made a big difference to our T20 side.”
Another player who has made a big difference is Azeem Rafiq, the off-spinner who returned to the club in mid-season after almost two years out of the professional game.
It is no coincidence that Yorkshire’s T20 resurgence can be traced back to Rafiq’s arrival.
“It has been a team effort to get to Finals Day, but Rafiq has done exceptionally well and he’s a great competitor,” said Moxon.
“He creates a buzz in the field as well as bringing his bowling skill, and he’s been a big factor in our improvement.
“Bottom line is, we’ve worked really hard to try to find the right method in T20.
“There’s been a lot of frustrations along the way, a lot of disappointments, and hopefully the lads can get some silverware now to show for their hard work.”

It is near to the often over-crowded Chevin area near Otley and is peacefully idyllic with everything to offer the walker in terms of views, scenery and interesting sections including bridleways, fields, woods, tracks, beautiful villages, undulations and streams.
Leathley is a splendid little hamlet on the B6161 from Pool in Wharfedale to Killinghall near Harrogate. The road can be busy especially at the weekend but never enough to cause delays.
Just outside the village towards Harrogate stands Lindley Farm, the original farm used in the Emmerdale Farm TV programme, and a familiar view of it can be seen during the walk.
Start the walk by assembling at the little grass triangle on the opposite side of the main road to the church.
Follow the Hall Lane Bridleway in an easterly direction past Leathley Hall and stay in a virtual straight line crossing stiles and avoiding tracks to your right as you negotiate Leafield Lane Bridleway with Riffa Wood straight ahead in your sights. If it is clear, look slightly right of the wood at the Arthington Viaduct structure on the Leeds to Harrogate railway link.
The walking so far is flat and although you in an area close to the conurbations of Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate you feel totally at peace in the pleasant countryside surroundings.
The only distractions that may throw you back to urbanisation might be distant noise from the nearby A638 or that of an aircraft arriving or departing from Leeds/Bradford airport.
Even these disturbances will go soon as you leave the bridleway to cross a field towards Thrispin Beck.
The beck is a lovely little spot to stop for a breather and drink before entering Riffa Wood.
Note there are stepping stones across Thrispin Beck so consider not doing the walk in times of excessive rain.
In the wood you face a slight climb but its a peaceful spell and at its best in spring when the bluebells are out forming a beautiful carpet on the ground.
The wood is short in length but with it being uphill you can take your time to enjoy the wondrous splendour of the wood and the tranquil peace it has to offer.
While in Riffa Wood also take time to look for an unusual carving made out of a rock.
It sits beside the west side of the track, or to your left as you walk up through the wood.
The figure in the rock looks content and why not in such brilliant surroundings. Leave the wood and enter fields of pasture.
Turn left and make a slight climb into a second field to the top of the nearby land. From here look straight on towards the village of Stainburn.
The walk is now slightly downhill and if you look to your right you will see the outcrop of Almscliffe Crag.
Walk into Stainburn and follow the road through the village until you reach a bend in the road to your left.
Leave the road and go through a field that takes you up to the church.
The church is in a wonderful setting on the hilltop.
It has served the people well over the years as is shown by the epitaphs on the gravestones in the churchyard.
Take some time out to read some of the poignant memorials written.
It is a refreshing reminder of community spirit.
The panoramic views from the church are stunning on a clear day and just imagine as you look south to the Chevin Hill that just beyond is the much different chaotic world that exists in the sprawls of Leeds and Bradford.
Leave the churchyard and walk up the road for 400 yards to the village of Braythorn, which in reality is a row of properties in a single line on a very quiet country lane.
On reaching the village chapel leave the road and then turn left down a path that takes you down towards West Beck, alternatively titled Stainburn Gill, before climbing from the gill to follow the lane a little more and then out into the open through fields and over stiles to West End Farm.
After West End Farm cross the B8181 and walk over the fields that occupy Leathley Moor in a westerly direction towards Lindley Green. You leave the fields and meet a road at a junction with a sign pointing to Lindley.
Stop for a while and if you look to the south and down the fields you will see the original location of Emmerdale Farm. After looking, follow the single track road to Lindley.
At the village leave the road and walk down a lane for about 200 yards until you see a stile pointing you left down a hill. Follow this route to Lindley Bridge and the trout farm.
At the bridge near the farm take a break and take stock as there is only the home leg of about one mile to go.
This final mile is along a stream in lovely scenery. This last leg is delightful and pays a complement to the whole walk.
A distinct path follows the stream through little copses and fields where birds and butterflies are in abundance.
All too soon the path leads you out of this spot to the main road that you must follow back to the church. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/lifestyle/walk-scenic-stroll-through-woods-along-the-stream-1-8091656 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/24114b252f55956d31a3eefdb0f9d77ef5f9b1b6a6aad6051b0832a6b964f301.json |

Personally, it was obviously frustrating not being involved after the good work I had done at Old Trafford, I had started to feel like my old self back at the crease. But I was proud as punch for the lads at Scarborough, they put in a real performance against Nottinghamshire after being 60-6 on the first morning and to turn it around on a similar fashion that we did, it followed a similar path to the Durham game at Scarborough last year.
We actually mentioned it on the first morning and last year, we were 90-9 on the first morning and ended up winning in three days and we came through again.
We have played some good cricket at Scarborough over the years and I can only remember losing a couple of games in seven or eight years. We were outstanding again and are getting to the business end of the season and it is very tight at the top of the league.
Middlesex are playing some good cricket. But we have the experience of coming through what we have done for the last few years and if we keep the pressure on and keep doing what we do, we can get over the line and make it three in a row. I am confident that we can do it.
Azeem Rafiq and Andrew Hodd came good with the bat for us when we were in trouble. Hoddy has had a bit of stick throughout the season about his batting from a number of supporters and he came in and showed what he is about and rolled his sleeves up and stuck his chest out.
It is not always about stats; it is about making that match-winning contribution and that is exactly what he did. To get 95, in the circumstances, helps keep the pressure on, given how close the league table is.
Rafiq also showed his prowess. He has got a first-class hundred and I think he made that on debut and I also remember playing a game at Worcester around 2008 and he got a hundred there, but probably never kicked on from that.
It is his way to be aggressive and the situation suited him and probably the best thing to do was attack and that is what he did and it came off.
The bowlers finished it off and it was pleasing to see how ruthless we were. I have previously spoken in this column about missed opportunities in games and not being able to clean the tail up. But our bowlers were outstanding throughout and bowled the right lines and lengths which you need to do at Scarborough.
To be fair, the ‘blotter’ that came from Headingley did its job on the ground. I think it set off a few days ago and it was really slow on the A64, but we managed to get it to Scarborough!
Obviously, it was frustrating to miss out with a back injury. It happened last Saturday when I was in the gym in the morning and just twinged it when I was squatting. I was okay, but then I came and had a bit of treatment from the physio and he treated to loosen it off and it actually made it worse and it locked up and I couldn’t move on Monday.
I had a fitness test on Tuesday morning. I probably could have got through the game if it was just about batting, but I couldn’t have really moved in the field and would have been letting the lads down if I had tried to get through. It has improved a lot since and had we started the game yesterday, then I would have been good to go, really. But unless there is a blip over the weekend, I will be ready for the game at Hampshire next week.
There was at least good news with David Willey’s injury. Looking at it on Saturday night after the Twenty20, I thought he had bust his hand with the size of it and everything. It added up to him breaking his hand and being out for the rest of the season.
It is added bonus that he isn’t and fingers crossed that we can get him back to tomorrow’s semi-final. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/andrew-gale-outstanding-display-against-notts-left-me-as-proud-as-punch-1-8091926 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/8e5a44359ff77da3f6d8a8782d95bfe03245a36dc49fa56f04154dd188dfd4c6.json |

Written and directed by Pateley Bridge man Keith Burton, The Journey travelled to New York as the UK’s sole entry to the international Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival.
The audience outside the theatre in New York on the night of our performance.
Although some of the American judges at the Off-Broadway theatre The Classic Stage Co were slightly bamboozled by its Britishness at times, the reaction was favourable overall.
Keith Burton said: “What an experience! We all went through an incredible learning curve. There were actors performing who feature in major stage and TV productions in the USA.”
A powerfully written two-hander whose plot unfolds on a bus journey into Leeds, The Journey is former chief education officer Burton’s first play.
It was Pateley Bridge Dramatic Society’s entry in the 2013 Nidderdale Drama Festival where it won a string of awards.
The canny Dales crew made friends by treating the New Yorkers to mementos from Pateley Bridge including rainbow kali sweets from The Old Sweetie Shop on the High Street.
Burton said: “When we gave them the sweets at the theatre, they called an impromptu staff meeting to show everyone. They love anything historic!”
The Pateley group, who included Burton, actors Ruth Dodsworth and Ben Derrick and technician Sue Hickson, were then invited to the head office of Samuel French.
Samuel French’s literary director Amy Marsh was so impressed she asked for copies of two more of Burton’s plays and said she wanted a meeting about Keith’s Pateley Bridge play with their acquisitions manager in London.
Keith said: “She was astonished to learn that this was the first stage play I had written and said she would now need to apologise to the London office for enquiring why “we were only just reading work from this guy who is 59!?” | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/plucky-dales-theatre-amateurs-take-on-us-stars-in-new-york-1-8095928 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/4791a00109c7c699099ade6461e51974000212dc71a5ec946930cbb1b85185b0.json |

The former England pace bowler has 5-36 as Notts reached lunch on 129-6 on day four, trailing by 323.
Bresnan bowled the first eight overs of the morning from the Trafalgar Square end, and he took 3-9 in the space of 31 balls after capturing his first two wickets the previous evening.
Brendan Taylor has batted through the session to advance from three to 37, with Brett Hutton (20) also unbeaten at the break.
In sunny conditions at North Marine Road, where Yorkshire brought over their “Blotter” from Headingley to dry the outfield after overnight rain, Notts lost a wicket to the day’s fourth ball when Bresnan had Tom Moores caught at second slip by Adam Lyth.
Moores had not added to his overnight score of 41, and Notts slipped to 77-5 when Bresnan had Samit Patel caught behind for five.

Patel briefly stood his ground in echoes of Michael Lumb’s dismissal on the third evening, when he, too, had been given out caught behind by umpire Neil Mallender.
Bresnan then bagged his fifth wicket when he had Chris Read caught at fourth slip by Jake Lehmann for one, leaving the visitors 83-6.
But Notts dug in as Taylor and Hutton battled for 80 minutes before the break in front of a 2,500 crowd. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/yorkshire-v-nottinghamshire-day-four-lunch-tim-bresnan-strikes-to-put-white-rose-on-verge-of-victory-1-8083613 | en | 2016-08-23T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/798ead731c948b15bb2c82d3e8a120636deda776e00871476804610bf5585ba0.json |

37.1 overs: Waite out for an 38 off 60 balls - caught by Gareth Batty off the bowling of Sam Curran. Yorkshire up against it now.
THE loss of three quick wickets saw Yorkshire up against it as they took on Surrey at Headingley in the semi-final of the Royal London One Day Cup.
After restricting the visitors to 255-7 from their 50 overs – Matthew Waite leading the way with 3-48 – Yorkshire found themselves in a decent position at 75-2.
But, in the 19th over, Jonny Bairstow - cleared to play in the game by England - was caught by Dominic Sibley for 13 off the bowling of Stuart Meaker.
Just ten balls later, Bairstow’s England colleague, Gary Ballance, followed him back to the pavillion when he was caught behind by Ben Foakes for 32, handing Meaker his second victim.
Four balls later, the hosts were reeling when Jack Leaning chopped onto his stumps having scored just three.
Tim Bresnan was then joined by 20-year-old Waite with the score at 81.
The pair then batted sensibly to take their team’s score to 150-5 with 15 overs remaining.
Earlier, Steven Davies was the star of the show for the visitors, scoring a well-paced 104 off 143 balls with 10 fours and a six before becoming one of Waites’s three victims when he was caught by Will Rhodes.
Most of the damage was done in a fourth-wicket partnership between Davies and Foakes (90), the par putting on 130 before Davies exited in the 38th over.
Kumar Sangakkara, often seen as Surrey’s biggest threat, was sent on his way for just 4 when Azeem Rafiq took a catch off the bowling of Bresnan.
At the start of Yorkshire’s reply, Adam Lyth was dismissed at the start of the third overwhen caught by Sibley off the bowling of J\ake Dernbach.
Alex Lees put on 44 with Gary Ballance before shouldering arms to one off former Yorkshire player Gareth Batty that clean bowled him for 26. | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/sport/live-royal-london-cup-yorkshire-v-surrey-middle-order-collapse-leaves-yorkshire-facing-uphill-battle-in-bid-for-lord-s-final-1-8093417 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/e92ceb73e1b270089cdaa9358685b4e6d4e20ff3f30865e9495055dd8c83e890.json |

The teenager, who was from the Greater Manchester area, underwent emergency treatment in hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after midnight.
Police were first alerted by staff from Leeds Festival shortly after 4.45pm.
The boy had been taken to St James’ Hospital by ambulance in a critical condition.
As two teenagers remain in custody on suspicion of drugs offences, the police have warned other festivalgoers against taking drugs.
Leeds Festival’s Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Keith Gilert, said: “Our thoughts are naturally with the family of the young man at this time. They were made aware of the incident by officers as soon as possible and were assisted to attend the hospital as quickly as possible. We will continue to support them through this difficult time.
“I would though like to take this opportunity to remind anyone attending the Festival that there is no safe way to take drugs. Taking any illegal drug carries a risk to health and we would always advise people against it, but I would ask that people are particularly conscious of the risks following this young man’s death.”
Investigations into his death and how he got the drugs are ongoing.
Early enquiries have indicated that he took the drugs immediately before collapsing.
Two 17-year-olds, also from the Greater Manchester area have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences and are currently in custody.
A report will be sent to the Coroner in due course.
Chf Supt Gilert added: “In partnership with the organisers, Festival Republic, we will continue to take action against those who risk the lives of others by supplying drugs.”
“Anyone who has any concerns for either themselves or others at the Festival should contact Festival site or security staff or seek medical assistance.” | http://www.ripongazette.co.uk/news/crime/teenager-dies-after-taking-drugs-at-leeds-festival-1-8093114 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | www.ripongazette.co.uk/6cdd012b16e471204f26a2f376e30143aeb4a0fa62914f0f2c302b1a608f4c55.json |
