First Annual Manayunk Winter Solstice Celebrate with a Bonfire, Birds of Prey Show, Drum Circle, and More! o celebrate the arrival of the Winter Solstice on Saturday, December 21, Manayunk will be hosting the first annual Manayunk Solstice Fire. The Winter Solstice has been celebrated by cultures across the world for more than 6,000 years and Manayunk plans to celebrate for the first time this year in Canal View Park. The celebration of the Winter Solstice in Manayunk will kick off at 3 p.m. with a Birds of Prey Show, where visitors will have the chance to get up close and personal with a variety of local birds. After, a ceremonious drum circle will take place while the torches and fires are lit. Guests will be able to make wishes or affirmations on wishing sticks, which will then be burned in the bonfire. This signifies their intent and hopefulness for the upcoming new year. Join to watch as the blazing fire comes to life! “This will be night of inspiration as we look forward to longer and lighter days,” says Jane Lipton, Executive Director at www.Manayunk.com. “We encourage families to come connect to the natural world by learning about our local birds of prey and celebrating the return of light to our daily lives.” The Winter Solstice signifies the return of light and with it life. Although winter has been regarded as the season of dormancy, darkness and cold, the coming of lighter days after the winter solstice brought on a much merrier mood. To many, this return of the light was a reason to celebrate that nature’s cycle was continuing. For information, call 215-482-9565 or visit www.Manayunk.com.

Rama Rao (center) of WIPO and his assistant (far left), Pamela Kraft of the Tribal Link Foundation (fourth from left), David Hircock (fifth from right), and DVFS teachers Elizabeth Kriynovich (second from left) and Ken Sinapius (far right). group of students and faculty from Delaware Valley Friends School in Paoli, PA recently traveled to New York City to meet with officials at the United States Mission to the United Nations. The ten students, led by teachers Ken Sinapius and Elizabeth Kriynovich, are planning an educational service-oriented trip to India during their spring break in April 2014. The UN meeting was a first step in presenting the school’s goals for the project, as well as an opportunity to learn about work being done in the region by other groups, nonprofits, and NGOs. They met with dignitaries and UN officials including former Governor of Ohio Ted Strickland, who is awaiting Congressional Confirmation as Delegate to the UN, Dr. S. Rama Rao of the UN World Intellectual Property Association (WIPO), Peggy Kerry, NGO Liaison to the US Mission to the United Nations, and Pamela Kraft, executive director of the Tribal Link Foundation. The students are participating in the school’s ABLE (Adventure Based Learning Experience) program, which tailors educational and service experiences for students to build self-esteem, learn teamwork, and develop leadership skills. For the ABLE India trip, students are working in conjunction with the non-profit “Access to Education,” founded by Delaware Valley Friends senior Thomas Hircock. “Access to Education” raises funds to purchase bicycles for children – mostly girls – in rural Rajasthan and Bihar who are classified as ‘Untouchables’ in their culture. They may be orphans and/or refugees from slavery or work camps. These bicycles make it possible for the children to attend schools, which can sometimes be located more than 20 miles from their homes. The girls also use the bikes to travel to surrounding villages to help other children understand that they also have rights, including access to education. The bicycles each come with a repair kit, and are built in India and made to withstand the forest terrain. Since beginning the program in 2008, “Access to Education” has raised money for more than 500 bicycles. Between now and when the DVFS students leave for India, they hope to raise $500 to donate directly to a local school, and $1000 to purchase bicycles that they will deliver during their trip. During their visit with United Nations officials, the Delaware Valley Friends students learned about education initiatives, international child labor issues, and indigenous peoples worldwide. The students shared with their UN hosts about the mission of Delaware Valley Friends School and Quakerism, and explained the nature of the ABLE trip to India and the goals they have for the trip. David Hircock, Thomas’s father and himself very involved in NGOs around the world, facilitated the visit. The group and the work the school is doing was warmly supported by the people they met, who expressed that they were impressed to see young people taking action to improve the world community.

“We Will Rock You” Continued from front page

seemed ridiculous for two kids to discuss friendship without reference to Facebook. Young people now live in a world where it’s possible to have many virtual ‘friends’ and ‘likes’ and yet still be entirely isolated and alone. The new dialogue with this changed emphasis brought the song You’re My Best Friend into the show.” Tribeca producer Jane Rosenthal says, “With Ben’s updates, it’s almost a new show. However, in some ways, it was already ahead of its time when it opened in 2002. The overarching theme is a demand for individualism and intimacy in a world where everything is downloadable.” Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor are musical supervisors to the show, taking an active role in casting the singer/ actors and musicians for every production worldwide. The show is in its 12th year at The Dominion in London’s West End, one of London Theatreland’s biggest theatres, making it the venue’s longest-running production ever. We Will Rock You is now officially the 9th longest running show in the West End and was crowned the UK’s favorite show at the 2011 Olivier Awards, the UK equivalent of the Tony Awards, in a category voted entirely by members of the public. Outside of the UK, the show has now been seen in local productions in 17 countries, playing to an audience of over 15 million people. We Will Rock You takes place in a future age on a planet once called Earth that is now controlled by a mighty corporation. Globalization is complete. Individuality is taboo. Everyone watches the same movies, wears the same clothes and thinks the same thoughts. Music is generated by the corporation’s computers, rock music is unheard and all musical instruments are banned. The hope of breaking free rests with an unlikely resistance – an alliance of rebel Bohemians, waiting for a hero to lead the battle to bring the power of rock back to the people. “This show is all about legend,” says Ben Elton. “We take the legend of Queen and create our own fantastical story of young kids battling the mighty corporation who wants to suppress their individuality and their love of music. They need a hero who can help them in their struggle, and we

have two – the dreamer Galileo, and the sassy rock chick Scaramouche. Guess who ends up winning?” “Creating the show with Ben was very much a three-way thing,” says Roger Taylor. “It was great because he was a pleasure to work with and because he has such a fertile mind. He never stops churning out ideas.” Brian May adds, “The amazing bonus is that Ben's script subtly works as a metaphor too. People definitely come out of the theatre feeling that in a strange way they now know us, Queen, and our struggle, our journey.” The original production of We Will Rock You is a Phil McIntyre Entertainment, Tribeca Theatrical Productions and Queen Theatrical Productions presentation. Book and direction by Ben Elton. Music and Music Supervision by Queen/Roger Taylor and Brian May. Musical staging and choreography by Arlene Phillips. Production Design by Mark Fisher and Lighting Design by Willie Williams. Sound by Bobby Aitken. Costumes by Tim Goodchild. Tracey Flye is the Associate Director and Associate Choreographer of the North American tour. Queen Theatrical Productions is a production entity created especially by the band’s parent company Queen Productions Ltd to handle the development and production of We Will Rock You. Headquartered in New York, Tribeca Theatrical Productions was founded in 2001 by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, the acclaimed producers of the Meet the Parents franchise, Analyze This and Wag the Dog. Through Tribeca Theatrical Productions, De Niro and Rosenthal co-produced, along with Queen Theatrical Productions and Phil McIntyre Entertainment, the theatrical musical We Will Rock You, based on the music of Queen. Since 1995, NETworks has produced and managed over 55 touring productions in the US., U.K. and internationally. Current productions include Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Blue Man Group National Tour, Elf The Musical, Flashdance the Musical, The National Theatre of Great Britain’s production of War Horse, Memphis the Musical, and Cameron Mackintosh’s spectacular new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera.

It’s the Holidays: Let Yourself Indulge with Simple Ingredient Swaps By Amanda Agamy, RD, LDN, CSO, CDE he holiday season is upon us, which means for many, it’s time to indulge in some delicious holiday foods. Unfortunately, that extra gingerbread cookie or two can lead to extra holiday bulge – making it no surprise when many studies show the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are a common time for weight gain. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) in Philadelphia, I work with patients everyday to make sure they’re meeting their proper nutritional and caloric goals. This doesn’t change when the holidays arrive; in fact, it is more critical than ever. To help them enjoy the season while staying healthy, we’ve developed several “swap” tips. One of the easiest ways to indulge without adding on the pounds is to interchange simple holiday baking ingredients. While these “swaps” are essential for cancer patients to consider during this food-focused time of year, they’re also important for anyone looking to treat themselves but not derail their healthy diet. Here are some of my favorite swaps: • Avocado: The consistency of avocado makes it the perfect replacement for butter in holiday desserts. Swap out half of the butter in your recipe for equal parts avocado, which is heart healthy and packed with antioxidants. In addition to a baking substitute, avocado can also be a swap for alfredo sauce. Simply blend up avocado, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, basil and salt and toss with pasta for a healthy alternative.

Meditation RetReat December 26 - 31, 2013

• Applesauce: Using applesauce for oil or butter when baking is a great way to cut calories and fat from some of your favorite holiday recipes. If a recipe calls for a half a cup of butter, use half a cup of applesauce instead. • Greek yogurt: The new “it” food is definitely Greek yogurt and, as an ingredient, it can take the place of oil or butter in your next batch of brownies. If you need one cup of butter, instead use half a cup of butter and a quarter cup of yogurt. Or, a third of a cup of oil can be swapped for a quarter cup of yogurt. Greek yogurt can also be an easy substitute for sour cream in any recipe and will add more protein and calcium to the dish. • Black beans: If anyone in the family has a gluten allergy, they won’t have to skip the cake this holiday season thanks to one easy swap – substituting black beans for flour. Simply rinse, drain and puree one cup of beans to replace one cup of flour in chocolate cake and brownies. This will not only cut back on calories but also give the dessert a big protein boost.

Prior to the parade, visitors to the Seaport Museum can enjoy holiday-themed entertainment beginning at 3:00 p.m. Visitors can hear carolers performing songs of the season, enjoy complimentary refreshments (while supplies last) and see a special display, Silver & Sugar Ships, which features dozens of tiny silver ships from the Museum’s collection and clear toy candy ships, provided by Shane’s Confectionery.

All activities are included with regular Museum admission ($10 for children 2-11; $13.50 for adults 12+, free for children under 2). The parade kicks off at 5 p.m., led by the Jupiter, a vintage 1902 tug maintained by the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild. Museum visitors will get the best view of the parade from the 2nd floor balcony overlooking the Delaware River. The Seaport Parade of Lights will be a competition for best decorated boat and festive holiday rattles will be given to guests for them to vote on the best decorated vessels.

through time and across continents. Crafts, a scavenger hunt, and flashlight expeditions through the galleries connect children ages 6 to 12 and their parents or chaperones in new ways with ancient mummies, hieroglyphs, plus Greek, Roman, African, and Maya artifacts awaiting discovery. Then campers settle into their sleeping bags among rock and royal artifacts of ancient Egyptian culture, sleeping at the foot of the third-largest granite Sphinx in the world, near the 3,200-year-old pillars and gateways from the great palace of the Pharaoh Merenptah. 40 Winks with the Sphinx concludes with a light breakfast in the Museum Café, and time to browse the Pyramid Shop—the children’s gift shop offering toys, games, stuffed animals, jewelry and books about ancient civilizations and modern world cultures. Guests also receive a souvenir patch in the morning that grants them Museum admission for rest of the day, as well as the remainder of the school year. 40 Winks with the Sphinx is $50 per person (adults and children); $40 for Museum members. Online registration for the 40 Winks with the Sphinx program offers convenience to local or long-distance relatives searching for a one-of-a-kind gift. While on the Penn Museum website, enter the child’s name in the “Write Like an Egyptian” widget to translate it into hieroglyphs, as an Egyptian scribe might have written. Print the result and use it as a gift label to add to the mystique! 40 Winks with the Sphinx sleepover programs begin select Friday evenings at 5:30 p.m. and conclude Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. The overnight program is geared to children ages 6 to 12, and one parent or chaperone is required for every five children. For details, 2014 dates, and online registration for 40 Winks with the Sphinx visit www.penn.museum/40winks or call the Museum Events Office at 215-8982680, Mondays through Fridays, 9 to 3 p.m. SAY YOU SAW IT IN CITY SUBURBAN NEWS!

Thirteen historic sites were transformed into gingerbread creations for the third annual Fairmount Park Holiday Gingerbread House Display in November at the Shops at Liberty Place in Philadelphia. “Each year, area bakeries are offered the chance to replicate, in gingerbread, one of these historic buildings,” explained Quay. One of those sites, Laurel Hill Mansion, has a Montgomery County Community College connection.

She set to work building a cardboard model of the house York and the Rainbow Room at the top of Rockefeller Center.

The Laurel Hill Mansion piece was originally on display should be a meticulous, down-to-the-doorknob replica of the building or fantasy piece,” explained Quay. “We decided to from Nov. 4 - 11 as part of the Fairmount Park Holiday include both approaches, leaving the front of the house a Gingerbread House Display in Philadelphia. However, when strict, to-the-letter representation of the mansion, with an that display ended, the piece was moved to the Montgomopen, doll-house style in back showcasing what a Christmas ery County Courthouse, where the public is invited to view the 18x30x30-inch house through early January. wedding might be like at Laurel Hill.” MCCC’s Culinary Arts Institute is also baking 50 dozen ginQuay and her team – students Alana Filipovich and Joanne Ratteree and 2013 graduate Kimberly Spruill – began baking gerbread men, women and angel cookies for Laurel Hill Manat her Philadelphia home in mid-October.

DCMH and Crozer NICUs Honored by March of Dimes he Maternal/Child Health Units at Delaware County Memorial Hospital and CrozerChester Medical Center were recently honored by the March of Dimes in recognition of the physicians and staff who fight to save babies’ lives every day. The recognition award was part of the organization’s annual “Day of Gratitude” in honor of Prematurity Awareness Month, which is observed annually in November. Anthony Stover, community director for the March of Dimes’ Pennsylvania Chapter, Southeast Division, presented the award to nurses, physicians and nursing administration staff at each hospital.

Crozer’s award was presented by Stover and Kelly Jennings, who lost her infant son at birth six years ago. “For 75 years, the March of Dimes’ mission has been to improve the health of babies,” Stover says. “We are grateful to DCMH and Crozer for partnering with us in this mission. The NICU nurses and physicians play a huge role in the lives Say You Saw It in CITY SUBURBAN NEWS! of these tiny miracles.” In the seventh month of her pregnancy, Tania McCloudRickards, of Morton, knew something was wrong. Rickards wasn’t feeling well, so she went to Delaware County Memorial Hospital where her OB/GYN, Elizabeth Louka, M.D., is on staff.

She was due Oct. 15. “Gabrielle was taken right to DCMH’s NICU,” Rickards says. She and her husband, Gary, spent the next seven weeks waiting for their daughter to come home. As painful as that was, they knew that Gabrielle was where she needed to be. “It was hard leaving her,” Tania Rickards says, “but we knew she was in the best of hands.” Today, Gabrielle is a beautiful, healthy three-year-old little girl who likes to play dress up and give hugs. Gabrielle had plenty of hugs for the NICU staff when she visited DCMH with the March of Dimes. The biggest hug was reserved for Susan D’Aversa, R.N., Gabrielle’s nurse. “This is what makes what I do so worthwhile and personally fulfilling,” D’Aversa says. Six years ago, Kelly Jennings gave birth to a boy at 24 weeks gestation. Sadly, her son passed away from complications 11 days later. During the most difficult time of her life,

Students from Delaware Valley Friends School visited the US Mission to the United Nations to share the goals of their upcoming service trip to India, seen here in front of the UN with teachers Elizabeth Kriynovich (left) and Ken Sinapius (right). In addition to local rock climbing and ropes courses, the ABLE program has taken students sailing in the Florida Keys, canoeing in Canada, and bicycling through Maryland. The Spring 2014 ABLE India experience, like past trips to Peru and Costa Rica, is deeply rooted in the Quaker commitment to service and community. The ABLE program strives to balance a dose of adventure – such as hiking the jungles Delaware Valley Friends School senior Thomas Hircock with Dr. S. Rama Rao and Lucinda Longcraft, both of the World Intellectual Property Association (WIPO) at the United Nations. of Costa Rica – with an element of service – such as building a greenhouse for an indigenous community in Peru.

Joseph M. Manko, a founding partner at Manko, Gold, Katcher & Fox, LLP (MGKF) and Cochair of the Board of Advisors with Joanne Denworth of the Audubon Outward Bound project, attended the official ceremonial lease signing event at the proposed new Discovery Center at Strawberry Mansion Lake in Fairmount Park, in Philadelphia, on Saturday, November 23, 2013. The Discovery Center, a joint venture between the National Audobon Society and the Philadelphia Outward Bound School, will be situated in East Park, near 33rd and Oxford Streets, in a setting overlooking the former Philadelphia Water Department’s 35-acre reservoir. It is an integral part of the Atlantic migratory flyway for birds and a safe haven for other wildlife. Manko is shown here with Susie Conrad of the Audobon Society and Oden, the 5½ year old Great Horned Owl.
