Har Zion Temple Presents “A Father’s Story” Har Zion Temple presents Stephen M. Flatow author of “A Father’s Story: My Fight for Justice Against Iranian Terror” on December 5, 2018 at 7 p.m. This event is one of a series of exciting authors entitled “Open a Book...Open Your Mind.” Tickets are $18 purchased in advance or $25 purchased at the door. In a revelatory new book, Stephen M. Flatow details his journey finding Iran responsible for the 1995 murder of his daughter Alisa. Stephen M. Flatow says he was “just a real estate lawyer in New Jersey”—until the events of April 9, 1995 forever changed his life. That day, Flatow learned that his daughter Alisa, a twenty-year-old college student traveling in Israel, had been the victim of a terrorist bus-bombing in Gaza. After he discovered the Iranian government had directly sponsored the bomber, via Islamic Jihad, Flatow decided to sue the terror state.

It was not to be quixotic, as Flatow, working with a superb Washington lawyer and an astute forensic researcher, not only won a dramatic verdict against Iran, but collected a huge judgment. For tickets to this event, call 610-667-5000 or go to harziontemple.ticketleap.com.

The New York Times described her music as reflecting “the atmosphere of her home, inspired by the spirit of the holidays.” The orchestra continues its celebration of youth collaborating with the Upper Darby High School choir on “All Bells of Paradise” by British composer John Rutter. Next, the Upper Darby High School choir performs a cappella selections including “Stille Nacht” arranged by Priano and “Wade in the Water” arranged

2018 Coatesville Christmas Parade Once again this year, Chester County’s largest hometown parade down the historic Lincoln Highway, takes place on December 1, 2018. The Coatesville Christmas Parade, a holiday classic, begins at 10 a.m. starting at Strode Avenue and Lincoln Highway, and ends at the performing and judging area at 11th Avenue and Lincoln Highway. Originally a community project in the 1960s, then taken up by the Jaycees back in the 70s, the Parade lost steam in the 1980s. But, it came back with a roar in the 1990s! This year, over 125 entries will grace the Lincoln Highway from dancers swirling their batons, to fleets of tow trucks, police cars and fire trucks, to local contractors showing off their custom-crafted floats. Featured this year will be the Duffy and Quaker City String bands. Also playing will be the Eagles Pep Band, the Lukens Band, the Chester County Emerald Society Pipe Band, and the Coatesville High School “Red Raider” Marching Band. Mascots will include Reggy The Purple Party Dude, along with a whole slew of cartoon characters who will entertain the crowd.

The Coatesville Christmas Parade has it all. Bringing up the rear of the parade will be none other than the big man himself, Santa Claus, riding on a Coatesville Fire Department truck. Admission is free. For information on this event, contact Greg DePedro at 610-384-2677 or www.coatesvillechristmasparade.com.

Gathering in one of the most beautiful spaces in the city, concert-goers, of all denominations, have an opportunity to listen, to pray and to experience community, through the essence of music.

It is the Cathedral’s hope to have each audience member leave the concert with a sense of hope, and filled with an abundance of joy. The combined forces of the Cathedral Choir, Archdiocesan Adult Choir and the Archdiocesan Children’s choir, will present works by Arnesen, Tavener, Pilkington, Ešenvalds and more, with an opportunity for audience participation on some well-known Christmas Carols.

The concert features Brandywine Brass and the church’s Sanctuary Choir, Bryn Mawr Chamber Singers, Youth Chorale, Children’s Choir and Singing for Life.

This concert is built around the text “O Magnum Mysterium” and celebrates the season through a series of seasonal readings accented by a broad array of festive music. Carillonneur Lisa Lonie will begin a festive carillon prelude at 3:30 p.m. A reception follows in the Ministries Center where guests can view an art exhibit by Richard J. Watson.

Brandywine Brass will support the choirs and the congregation in singing a variety of seasonal carols that will raise the spirits of all present.

The hope of this program, a team effort with ecumenical partners from Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Episcopal churches, is to build community and safety among the women.

For the past 20 years, however, local dance organization International Ballet Exchange has opened its “The Nutcracker” auditions with the world-class Donetsk Ballet, inviting students ages 5 to 22 from any dance school or program in the region to try out for a wide range of supporting roles.

The open audition is something that is insisted on by Nancy Malmed, executive director of IBE and founder of Wissahickon Dance Academy in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood, which houses the nonprofit.

The Donetsk Ballet, which annually tours its “Nutcracker” in the mid-Atlantic region, maintains a relationship with a local dance program in each city where it performs. In the mid-1990s, former Donetsk dancer Viktor Yeliohin choreographed unusually extensive roles for the youth cast supporting the 18 professionals.

“It is such a wonderful opportunity for a ballet student to be part of this beautiful production. From the party scene to the finale, the youth cast is present,” said Malmed.

“We are fortunate to have this relationship with the Donetsk Ballet. Not every dance school can offer its students the chance to be in a production like this. I felt that I should not close the door and exclude others. I want to make this opportunity available to a wider range of dance students.”

The result is a very diverse “Nutcracker” that resonates with audiences, from the students of the Philadelphia public schools, for whom the Donetsk performs as its first stop in Philadelphia, to the community members who attend the company’s two public performances here.

“Our student and community audiences see their own diversity reflected on stage,” said Malmed.

This year, the 48 members of the youth cast that will support the Donetsk Ballet from December 13 through 16 represent eight dance schools across the region. While the majority of the cast is from Wissahickon Dance Academy, there will be dancers on stage from Limitless Performing Arts, Beth Jacobsen School of Dance, The Pointe Dance Studio, Phoenix Arts, Addicted to Dance, and Ms. Carol’s Center for Dance.

And, although the company comes from Eastern Europe and the Philadelphia-based youth cast from eight different dance schools, “to the audience, it will look like everyone dances together every day,” said Malmed.

The Donetsk Ballet with IBE’s local youth cast performs “The Nutcracker” on Saturday, December 15, at 6:30 p.m., and Sunday, December 16, at 2 p.m., at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School (201 E. Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA). Tickets are $30 for adults/$20 for children, students, and seniors. Parking is free. For tickets and information about IBE, see www.internationalballet.org.

“Holiday Spectacular” with The Upper Darby Summer Stage Shooting Stars

Helping save the American chestnut tree are Erin Leaper (Springfield, PA), Christina Shimp (Claymont, DE), Aisha Mundy (Philadelphia, PA), Hannah Radziak (Upper Chichester, PA), and Kristina Del Gaiso (Turnersville, NJ). his fall, Neumann University biology professor Mac Given and 11 students helped harvest American chestnuts at Tyler Arboretum in Media. However, these nuts will not find their way to the roasting pit. The harvest is done in an attempt to save the American chestnut trees from disease and extinction.

Since 1997, the arboretum has been supporting The American Chestnut Foundation’s (TACF) program to restore a blight-resistant American chestnut tree to the natural landscape. A fungus, which was brought to the United States more than 100 years ago from China, is killing the American chestnut tree. To preserve the tree, Tyler planted an orchard of chestnuts with seedlings from across Pennsylvania.

“I became acquainted with the project when I was on sabbatical in 2013 and it thought it would be a good fit for students in the ecology lab,” Given said.

It is a hands-on project for the students, and one that requires gloves. A chestnut tree has burs, which are spiny coverings that contain and protect the fruit. Students pick the burs and very carefully remove them from the trees.

“Harvesting of the nut is labor intensive. You have to go up on a ladder and pick the bur and inside the bur are one to three nuts. We have to open up the bur and extract the nuts,” explained Given. “The nuts are ripe but haven’t fallen, and we’re trying to stay one step ahead of the wildlife.”

Biology major Curt Yenchik, who is currently doing an internship at the arboretum, helped with the chestnut harvest. He supervised his fellow Neumann students and helped them with data collection and opening the nuts.

“I’m the kind of person who likes being outside. I didn’t want an internship where I was looking at a computer for four to five hours a day. I look at being at the arboretum as my escape,” Yenchik explained.

Prior to volunteering at Tyler Arboretum, students became familiar with the native chestnut, the blight that threatened to destroy it, and the efforts that are being made to recover the tree.

Nuts harvested each fall from these trees support breeding at other locations around the state. The harvesting program is now providing advanced hybrids that are seven generations into the process of capturing resistance to the chestnut blight.

According to John Wenderoth, TACF board member, the American chestnut was not just another tree. Some have called it the perfect tree. Capable of reaching 100 feet in height, its nut crops were a major food source for wildlife and a cash crop for mountain folks who sent wagon loads of chestnuts to market for the fall and winter holidays. The straight trunks produced excellent lumber that was particularly remarkable for its durability.

Professor Given plans to continue the partnership with Tyler in future semesters, tapping into students’ environmental awareness and providing them with an experience that they will remember for years.

According to the American Institute of Stress, compassion fatigue is caused by the emotional residue or strain of exposure to working with those suffering from the consequences PHILADELPHIA AND THE MAIN LINE’S FAVORITE WEEKLY of traumatic events. It can occur due to exposure on one case or can be due to a “cumulative” level of trauma. Burnout, on the other hand, is marked by emotional exhaustion and withdrawal associated with increased workload and institutional stress, NOT trauma-related. Both can afflict those in the caring professions.

A LZHEIMER ’ S A SSOCIATION P RESENTS F REE P UBLIC C OMMUNITY F ORUM Offers Opportunity to Learn, Share Stories, December 11 at Ralston Center in University City lzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter will host a free Community Forum with light refreshments, Tuesday, December 11, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at the Ralston Center, 3615 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. The town hall-style forum, which is open to the public, will provide people with an opportunity to not only learn about the basics of Alzheimer’s disease, but its impact on families—particularly members of the family who provide care for their loved ones who are living with the disease or another form of dementia.

“The forum is designed to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and challenge the stigma people oftentimes associate with dementia,” said Kellie Butsack, the Delaware Valley Chapter’s programs and services interim director. “But we also want to learn how we can better serve people living with dementia, their care partners and their families by listening to their personal stories about how dementia has affected them.”

Alzheimer’s affects nearly six million people nationwide, killing more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. The number of Americans with Alzheimer’s is expected to climb to 14 million by 2050. Meanwhile, as many as 16 million provide more than 18 billion hours of unpaid care valued at an estimated $232 billion. The sixth-leading cause of death, Alzheimer’s is the only one among the top 10 that has no cure, cannot be prevented, or even slowed. In Southeastern Pennsylvania, as many as 183,233 people – including more than 57,000 Philadelphians – are affected by Alzheimer’s or a related disorder.

“Alzheimer’s is a public health crisis that is only going to grow,” said Butsack. “We want to provide people in the communities we serve with the tools they need to care for those who are affected by dementia, so we encourage everyone to attend our free forum and let us know how we can help.”

The forum is made possible by a Pennsylvania Department of Aging grant. Anyone who would like to attend must register before Wednesday, December 5 by calling 800-272-3900.

Chauncey Miles, the headliner at the Irving Place Theater, a burlesque house in late 1930s New York City, excels in playing the “nannie,” a stock character depicting an exaggeratedly effeminate gay man. The thing is, in real life he IS a homosexual, at a time when it was accepted to play one, but very hazardous to be one! Chauncey’s laughter-creating clownery on stage stands in sharp contrast to his dreary life away from the bright lights. The play, at once poignant and high spirited, deftly re-creates the on-stage and backstage worlds of vaudeville and burlesque, both widely attended by stage audiences of the era, with the secretive gay lifestyle as an on-going subtext. As one reviewer put it bitter-sweetly: “… an especially powerful show that captures all our emotions. … indeed, it’s full of laughs and gaiety, but you may find yourself wiping away a tear or two.” (Arts Stage – Seattle Rage).

Douglas Carter Beane (b. 1960), American playwright and screenwriter, has chalked up a multiplicity of distinctive plays to his credit over the decades. Among his better-known works are included “The Little Dog Laughed” (2007), which received the Tony nomination for Best Play, and “As Bees in Honey Drown” (1997), which enjoyed an extended run in New York, and was produced at The Stagecrafters in 1998. “The Nance” premiered in 2013 at Lincoln Center, featuring Nathan Lane in the title role, receiving five Tony Award nominations, and winning the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a Play. One example of widespread favorable commentary on the play sums it up: “… a definite must-see production … a magical mix of theatre, hilarious comedy show, and burlesque all rolled up into one unforgettable experience. …” (Seattle Gay News). A film version was screened in movie theaters in 2014.
