IT’S TIME TO CLEAN THE CLOCKS! Over the course of time, dust builds up in a clock too, and can do major damage to the parts. So as part of your holiday cleaning, let us clean your clock.

CLOCK FRIENDS’ CENTRAL STUDENTS TO PRESENT AT ASTRONOMY MEETING DELCO SHOP Continued from front page

(each) could evaluate 100 pulsar data sets by October 15. Each pulsar data set contains 30 plots, which students must examine and judge whether or not the radio signals in the plot are random noise, radio frequency interference from sources like cell phones and microwave ovens, or authentic pulsar signals. This means that each student had to look at 3,000 plots between September 1 and October 15. For FCS’s Team Radio Phoenix, that meant 15,000 plots!

In Team Radio Phoenix’s written abstract, entitled “A Multiwavelength Study of Binary Pulsars: An Effort to Identify Companions,” the students explain that a subset of pulsars is spinning extra fast—thousands of times per second (“millisecond pulsars”). Astrophysicists think the reason for the spin-up is that there is a companion star responsible, and the two stars are potentially passing material back and forth. In many of these cases, though, the companion theorized to be there hasn’t been spotted yet. Team Radio Phoenix is working on a project to scrutinize infrared images of the regions near the pulsars to look for the stellar companions to the pulsars. Stars have certain infrared properties that pulsars do not. Team member Harper Will ’21 said, “My fellow teammates and I worked hard to create a research proposal that was both captivating and adventurous. We were overjoyed the day we found out our proposal had been selected, and now we are meeting regularly to work on our project. This is an opportunity I’m so grateful for.”

Team Radio Phoenix began in fall 2017, driven by five students who were interested in astronomy, and in collaboration with physics teacher Deborah Skapik, they have become members of the Pulsar Search Collaboratory (PSC). To become PSC members, the students participate in an online course, led by world-renowned astronomers Dr. Maura McLaughlin and Dr. Duncan Lorimer (who discovered Fast Radio Bursts), that teaches them about pulsar science and radio astronomy to prepare them to become competent researchers. After they are trained, students gain access to radio astronomy data taken at the Green Bank Telescope, a 17 million pound telescope with a dish the size of two football fields that collects and amplifies the tiny signals received from pulsars.

Pulsar astronomy is a big data science, with three gigabytes of data generated from just 2 1/2 minutes of observing new data (not yet analyzed by other scientists) with the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The PSC online training prepares students to be diligent, observant researchers who can discover new pulsars, rule out interference, sift through an enormous amount of data, make new and significant scientific discoveries, and write papers that are published in scientific journals, just as astronomers, graduate students, and undergraduate students do.

In the last year, the five students (all girls) in Team Radio Phoenix have been on a roll. Last May, three TRP members were three of only sixteen students nationwide who attended a capstone event for the Pulsar Search Collaboratory, now in its 11th year, at West Virginia University. To qualify, each of them had to evaluate at least 50 data sets containing about 30 plots each. All three Friends’ Central student representatives gave presentations on their work, one FCS student was approached about copyrighting her work (a board game to help train new students to identify pulsar signatures in data), and another was asked to digitize her pulsar art to be shared. They attended professional research presentations on everything from white dwarfs to gravitational waves, they toured physics and biology labs, and they enjoyed a career panel of astronomers, professors, and scientists.

Harper Will explained what she enjoys most and what led her to joining Team Radio Phoenix. “I joined Team Radio Phoenix during my first year at Friends’ Central because I am an avid science geek and had already been enjoying my physics class with Dr. Skapik … right from the start, I loved the research we were doing. I felt like I was a part of real, actual science (which, of course, I was and still am). At the end of my first year, our team went to West Virginia University for an event with other Pulsar Search Collaboratory students from all over the US. We got to speak with the astronomers we had worked with online and see their work in action. This event was what I have most enjoyed about the PSC so far. It provided me with an amazing opportunity to form new friendships with those who shared my interest in astrophysics.”

The passion each of the five students (so far!) on Team Radio Phoenix has for science and astronomy is palpable. Coleader of Team Radio Phoenix Sofia Diaz ’20 said, “This team has been one of the most incredible experiences of my high school career. It has given us the opportunity to do real research before we even graduate high school—an opportunity many students don’t get until they are undergraduates, if even then. Being accepted to present at the AAS Conference means so much to us, and I feel honored to be a part of this group of girls in STEM. I am so proud of how hard everyone on my team has worked through these past four years, and I am excited to get the opportunity to share our research alongside real astronomers from around the world. After I graduate, I will remain very much a part of the Pulsar Search Collaboratory network and continue the research alongside these girls for as long as I can. It is an experience I will never forget.”

Faculty advisor and Upper School physics teacher Deborah Skapik cannot say enough about this remarkable team. “I am very proud of this inspirational team. The way they work together is almost magical, rising above collaboration to something impossible to capture in words,” Skapik shared. “Each young woman brings unique talents to the table which, when combined, results in an outstanding product. Doing research together as a team like this is akin to playing in an orchestra, where the sound of each instrument is distinct, but blends with the others to create a symphony. Yesterday, we were raking through a list of millisecond pulsars to identify candidates which might have another object orbiting them.

One student was busily manipulating the spreadsheet, one was recording our process for repeatability, one was journaling, one was pulling up images at multiple wavelengths to investigate, and one was doing mathematical manipulation!”

Co-leader Elisabeth Forsyth ’20 has been a member of Team Radio Phoenix for two years, and in that time, she has forged a bond with her teammates and has felt comfortable to step up and become a leader and embrace her role in STEM. “In these four other girls, I’ve found almost a family. The group has to be by far one of the most supportive I’ve ever been a part of,” shared Forsyth. “I’ve also found a place where I feel safe to take more of a leadership role. I’m naturally shy, but this group has helped me get out of my shell … has helped me embrace who I am as a woman in the STEM field and also find a group that will support me even outside of that. And we’ve been chosen to go to Hawaii! And on top of that, the reason we’re going is because we get to do actual genuine research, which is something so few other high school students can say they get to do. And our research, while it might not make sense to many, is super exciting for us and I’m excited to see where it takes us.”

Dining Around at Wilson’s Secret Sauce Barbecue Restaurant

By Jerry H. Bloom, Staff Writer teve and Kelly Wilson are living their dream at Wilson’s Secret Sauce, their BBQ/BYOB restaurant at 265 East Township Line Road in Upper Darby, PA, diagonally across the street from the Havertown, PA Post Office. Steve was the typical backyard barbecue cook until he entered several national BBQ competitions and won! Friends and neighbors began asking for his recommendations for spices, meat smoking and other BBQ advice. Then he was asked to cater local events. “Before we knew it, we were catering 45 to 55 jobs a Owners Steve & Kelly Wilson are living their year and working 100 hours dream at Wilson’s Secret Sauce, their BBQ/BYOB a week,” Kelly said. restaurant at 265 East Township Line Road in “We also serve foods for Upper Darby, PA. Photos/J. Bloom Vegans and Lactose Intolerant individuals. We cook to order and I visit each table to ask people how we’re doing and what we should change, add or otherwise improve our service,” Steve said.

“We have no prior restaurant experience, so customer feed back is very important to our operation.

We began our trip through the 8 Appetizer Menu ordering five Smoked Jumbo Wings ($6.95). Several dipping sauces are available, but they tasted yummy just smoked.

I’m not a favorite of Brussels Sprouts, but I couldSeasoned Brussels n’t stop eating Steve’s version, grilled and topped Sprouts and Smoked with Parmesan cheese and smoked bacon ($8.99).

Chicken Legs.

Then we sampled an order of Fried Sweet Corn Nuggets ($5.99) served with sweet syrup. Steve’s Mac and Cheese comes in several versions: Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese ($9.99), Brisket Mac and Cheese ($10.99) and Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese ($9.99). We ate plain Mac and Cheese without any added toppings and took turns fighting over the bowl – a must try.

The Sandwich Menu offers ten items to choose among. I ordered the Township Line Brisket Cheese Steak ($11.99) that brought mouth-watering shredded beef brisket with sweet caramelized onions smothered in a house-made cheese sauce and served in an Italian long roll. I took half home for lunch the next day. Add Fries, Candied Bacon or Mushrooms to any sandwich for ($2) – a great deal.

Full Platters of Brisket, Ribs, Grilled Chicken or Pulled Pork include two homemade Sides, and Corn Bread. Sides are House Made Baked Beans (four different kinds of beans) Vegetarian style ($4.99) or topped with Pulled Pork add ($.75), Bacon add ($1), or Brisket add ($1.50). You can make a whole meal with this combination. Other sides are Fries, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad and grilled seasoned asparagus, carrots or a squash and zucchini Half Rack of Ribs with combo.

Finding room for one more item, we chose a half Wilson’s Secret Sauce. rack of St. Louis Ribs, ($17.99), dry rubbed, slow-smoked and lightly glazed with Steve’s original BBQ sauce.

“My ribs and brisket are smoked for ten hours overnight to get them ready for the next day’s customers,” Steve continued. I don’t use salt in my asparagus, corn, or Brussels sprouts and the rubs, except for a little in the brisket rub. Customers can add their own salt to taste or call me up ahead of time to have me make anything to comply with their food requirements.”

DICKENS FESTIVAL

Bucks County Playhouse presents “Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Playhouse Christmas Show,” December 6 through December 29, 2019. Cast photo by Joan Marcus from 2017 Production.

Five actors, lots of music, laughter and one of the most beloved holiday stories ever told come together for this Christmas show that is perfect for the entire family. Terrorizing the good citizens of Bucks County, Ebenezer Scrooge rediscovers the spirit of Christmas in this riotous Dickens mashup set in New Hope.

All the traditional elements of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” are intact – including the iconic ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Future – comically reimagined in this holiday frolic. The authors have rebooted the story—charging five talented actors with the task of playing nearly three dozen roles, as well as instruments, while infusing the show with a lot of comedy and heart, while harnessing the energetic joy of the season Written by Gordon Greenberg (Broadway’s “Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn”) and Steve Rosen (“The Other Josh Cohen”), this year’s version of the show is once again directed by Greenberg and features some new exciting twists and turns plus an all-new, 2019 musical finale.

In coordination with the production and as part of the Playhouse’s education program, Bucks County Playhouse is once again offering the opportunity for local theater-lovers and aspiring thespians to join a cast on the historic Playhouse stage as “Scene-Stealers.” Designed as an educational opportunity, the “Scene-Stealers” will be featured in the musical finale in “Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Playhouse Christmas Show!” Seated in the audience, participants will also be able to watch and enjoy the show until it is time to take the stage. Following curtain call, “Scene-Stealers” will lead audience members into the Courtyard to sing Christmas Carols.

Executive Producer Robyn Goodman, Producing Director Alexander Fraser and Producer Josh Fiedler recently announced details on the show, which is making its return to Bucks County Playhouse after two successful holiday years at the Playhouse. “We were so delighted by how much the community has embraced this holiday show, that we had to bring it back again,” says Alexander Fraser, Producing Director. “When we asked Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen to write a new play for the Playhouse for the holidays, we hoped that audiences would make it part of their holiday tradition. With a new cast, and new finale this year, audiences will see the traditional story they love, but with a special musical twist designed just for the 2019 production.”

The cast stars Broadway veteran Matthew Greer as Ebenezer Scrooge. Greer has appeared on Broadway in the “Seminar,” “The Real Thing” (in both the 2000 and 2014 revivals), “Cabaret,” and “The Judas Kiss.” He appeared in the national tour of “Monty Python’s Spamalot.” Greer is joined by James Ludwig (Broadway’s “Monty Python’s Spamalot” – Original Cast and BCP’s “Million Dollar Quartet), Ian Lowe (off-Broadway’s “The Cradle Will Rock” and Lincoln Center’s “Nikolai and the Others”), Jenelle Chu (“Bernhardt/Hamlet” and “Junk”) and Maggie Hollinbeck (National tours of “Once” and “Annie”).

Michael Baxter is the Associate Director. Michael Carnahan is scenic designer. Tristan Raines is costume designer. Travis McHale is lighting designer and Bart Fasbender is sound designer. Ashley Rae Callahan is the Wig and Hair Designer. Pamela Edington is production stage manager. Casting is by Geoff Josselson, CSA. “Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Playhouse Christmas Show” will run from December 6 through December 29 and will play matinees on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Evenings performances are on Tuesdays (except December 24) and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. There is a special performance on Christmas Eve, December 24 at 2 p.m. and an added show on Wednesday evening, December 27 at 7:30 p.m. There is no performance on Christmas Day.

Call for Volunteer Ambassadors at Stoneleigh: a natural garden

Some of Stoneleigh’s Volunteer Ambassadors from this past year’s class. Photo/Debbie Beer atural Lands is accepting applications for the 2020 Stoneleigh Ambassador volunteer training program. Modeled on the organization’s incredibly successful Force of Nature® program, volunteers attend five, hands-on training sessions at Stoneleigh: a natural garden in Villanova. Upon graduation, the volunteer Ambassadors serve as greeters, tour guides, and special event helpers for the 42-acre botanical garden.

“More than 60 years ago, a group of volunteers who were passionate about the Philadelphia region’s open space founded Natural Lands,” said Oliver Bass, president of Natural Lands.

“Today, Natural Lands’ Ambassadors play a vital role in continuing our founders’ work. Their energy and commitment to Stoneleigh is inspiring.”

For nearly 80 years, Stoneleigh was the home of the Haas family, who donated the property to conservation non-profit Natural Lands in 2016 so that it would remain preserved forever. After much preparation, planning, and planting, Stoneleigh opened to the public in May of 2018. Today, Stoneleigh is a showcase for blending the aesthetic beauty of designed gardens with the natural richness and biodiversity of native habitats that are essential to the health of our planet. Extraordinary trees, sweeping vistas, and intimate garden spaces offer a variety of opportunities to explore, learn, relax, and be inspired.

Garden ambassadors enjoy a sense of giving back and the connection to the natural world while forming close friendships with like-minded fellow volunteers.

“We meet visitors from all over the country and enjoy hearing their stories. It’s also great to work with the children and witness their excitement in exploring and learning about nature,” said Ralph Hall, current Stoneleigh Ambassador.

Added Lin Hall, “It is exciting to train and work alongside the Stoneleigh staff. We have learned so much about the history and gardens from them. What’s more, we get to observe the changes in the trees and other garden plants throughout the growing season. It’s such a pleasure to volunteer in such a beautiful setting!”

“I love being an ambassador at Stoneleigh,” shared volunteer Marlene Campbell. “It is such a serene place. I feel a wonderful sense of calm when I am here, which is hard to achieve in the 24/7 connected world we live in. I enjoy the friendships I have formed with the other volunteers and I love meeting visitors and telling them about the history and beauty of Stoneleigh.”

Ambassadors participate in five comprehensive, hands-on training sessions in which they learn the history of Stoneleigh, principles of ecological horticulture, guidelines for engaging guests, and much more. Training sessions will be held 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at Stoneleigh in Villanova on the following Thursdays: January 30, February 13, February 27, March 12, March 26.

The deadline to apply for the Stoneleigh Ambassador program is December 31, 2019. For information or to apply, visit stoneleighgarden.org/volunteer.

The program fee, including a one-year Natural Lands membership, is $150. For current Natural Lands members, the fee is $100.

Natural Lands is dedicated to preserving and nurturing nature’s wonders while creating opportunities for joy and discovery in the outdoors for everyone. As the Greater Philadelphia region’s oldest and largest land conservation organization, Natural Lands – which is member supported – has preserved more than 125,000 acres, including 44 nature preserves totaling more than 23,000 acres. Some 2.5 million people live within five miles of land under the organization’s protection. Land for life, nature for all. Visit https://natlands.org.

Environmental Video Discussion: Plastic Pollution On Wednesday, December 18, at 1 p.m. at New Horizons Senior Center, view a film about plastic pollution, followed by a discussion including the impact of plastics on the environment and human health, and ways to minimize plastic waste, with Pauline Rosenberg. Plastic has become a vital part of our lives of convenience.

Yet the coffee cup lids, water bottles and plastic bags we use once and throw away do end up somewhere— in landfills, but also in the ocean. Nearly every piece of plastic ever made still exists today. More than five trillion pieces of plastic are already in the oceans. Come early and enjoy a catered lunch provided by Betty the Caterer for a suggested donation of only $2 before the workshop! For information or to sign up for lunch, stop

by New Horizons Senior Center, 100 Conway Avenue, Narberth or call 610-664-2366.
