Eastern State Penitentiary Celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with Readings of “Letter from Birmingham Jail” astern State Penitentiary celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday with special readings from the landmark text, “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” throughout the holiday weekend. Professional actors will read excerpts from King’s letter three times a day on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, January 18, 19, and 20, 2014, at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. An informal Q&A moderated by a civil rights scholar will follow each reading, giving visitors an opportunity to respond to the letter’s relevance today. The readings are free and open to the public. Free tickets are required and available online at easternstate.org/tickets (must be claimed 30 minutes prior to start of reading) or at the door, subject to availability. New this year, in partnership with Art Sanctuary, children ages 7-12 and their families can create art in response to themes found in the letter. Visitors will also have the opportunity to film themselves reading a section of the letter inside the penitentiary as part of Read With Me: The MLK Project. These activities will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day and are free and open to the public. No reservations required. In addition, Eastern State Penitentiary’s Winter Adventure Tours throughout the weekend will include information about how the civil rights movement affected Eastern State Penitentiary and how inmates reacted to Dr. King’s assassination in 1968. Admission is required for a Winter Adventure Tour of Eastern State Penitentiary. For more information and tickets, visit easternstate.org. “We celebrate Dr. King’s ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’ to explore the ongoing relationship between the civil rights movement and the criminal justice system,” said Sean Kelley, Director of Public Programming for Eastern State Penitentiary. “Dr. King taught us that civil disobedience was essential to the civil rights movement. When this highly educated and prominent man chose to spend time in jails, it forced many Americans to confront not just the racism of individual behavior, but the immortality and oppression in the nation’s legal system as well.” About “Letter from Birmingham Jail” Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested in Birmingham, Alabama on April 12, 1963 for demonstrating without a permit. During his 11 days in jail there, he wrote “Letter from Birmingham Jail” in response to a letter published by Alabama clergymen that criticized King’s use of jail time to demonstrate civil injustice. In the letter, Dr. King explains why he chose to use prisons as a tool in his civil rights movement. He writes, “I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail in order to arouse
E
the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for the law.” The writing of the letter itself involved rule breaking. Prisoners were not allowed instruments to write during this time, so Dr. King’s lawyer snuck in a pencil. The letter was written in the margins of a newspaper and smuggled back out by the same lawyer. The letter became a manifesto for civil disobedience, stating, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere.” The letter led to a pivotal moment in the American civil rights movement when, about a month after it was published, Birmingham officials agreed to desegregate schools, restaurants, and stores. About Winter Adventure Tours at Eastern State Penitentiary Winter Adventure Tours run from December 2, 2013 through March 14, 2014 and allow visitors to explore the cellblocks, center surveillance hub, Al Capone’s cell, and more.

From left – Michael Boorse as Dale Wiston, Eric Rupp as Tony Wiston, and Bonnie Kapenstein as Dr. Sonia Feldman in “Something Intangible,” running at Old Academy Players, January 10 - 26, 2014. ld Academy Players is proud to present its sixth play by award-winning Philadelphia playwright Bruce Graham. Directed by Nancy Frick and produced by Chris Wunder, “Something Intangible” runs at the historic East Falls theater January 10 - 26, 2014. Graham’s thinly disguised version of the creative battles between brothers Walt and Roy Disney as they fought to create something radically different – Fantasia – is a remarkable study of what makes genius. Brothers Tony and Dale Wiston are polar opposites: Tony is a mile-a-minute idea creator, brash and free spending, while Dale is a steadying force, an accountant who must deal with the financial and emotional chaos his brother creates. Yet despite their differences, the brothers complement one another and recognize how much they need each other. Old Academy’s production features Michael Boorse as Dale Wiston and Eric Rupp as Tony Wiston, and includes Bonnie Kapenstein as Dr. Sonia Feldman, Dale’s psychiatrist; Ben Kendall as conductor Gustav Von Meyerhoff; Court Van Rooten as money manager Mr. Bartelli; and Josh Rothstein as animator Leo Baxter. Located at 3544 Indian Queen Lane in East Falls, Old Academy Players has provided continuous community theater for more than 90 years, and featured the acting debuts of both Grace Kelly and Robert Prosky. All tickets are $15. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., and Sunday performances are at 2 p.m. Parking for all performances is free. For information and reservations, call 215-843-1109 or visit the theater’s website at www.oldacademyplayers.org.

Bryn Mawr College Creative Writing Program Reading Series Presents Pulitzer Prize Winner Robert Hass

“Silencing the Sounded Self: John Cage and the American Experimental Tradition.” Shultis who was awarded two Fulbrights to Germany, along with many other honors, composes on long walks, initially in the mountains of New Mexico and now in the woods of Pennsylvania. The renowned Haverford High School Chamber Singers, a select singing ensemble from the Haverford High School choral arts program, has toured in major cities throughout the United States and abroad. The members of the esteemed singing group are chosen by audition and the ensemble has received various awards since it was established in 1986 under the direction of Marsha Core, M.M., graduate of Westminster College, Princeton, NJ. Shultis, who has dedicated his life to music noted, “After I heard the choir perform a few years ago, I had no question they could handle one of my compositions; they have an extremely mature sound. They are the best high school choir I’ve ever heard.” The discussion about the choral ensemble performing a new composition took place between choir director Marsha Core and Chris Shultis approximately two years ago when Shultis saw his stepson Christopher Lee perform with the choir. “When Marsha reviewed the piece, she grasped it instantly and understood exactly how I intended it to sound,” a rare and exciting opportunity for a conductor to collaborate with a composer. While moving from the mountains of New Mexico to Pennsylvania was an adjustment for Shultis, he has found many favorite places to walk in the region including Wissahickon Creek, Ridley Creek State Park, French Creek and more. “I really feel lucky I moved from New Mexico. There are many beautiful sites and many more to discover!” For over a dozen years Marsha Core has arranged for the Haverford High School choirs to perform their concerts at the Ardmore Presbyterian Church because of the integrity of the acoustical environment. The concert will feature two choirs including the Chamber Singers and the Concert Choral. Other works performed will include “Agnus Dei, Op. 11,” by Samuel Barber (a choral transcription of the very popular “Adagio for Strings.” This piece has been showcased in many feature films in then last decade); “Set Me as A Seal” by Rene Clausen; “Musick’s Empire” by Lloyd Pfautsch; “City Called Heaven” a gospel arrangement by Josephine Poelinitz of a folk tune transcribed by Edward Boatner; “Rotala” or “Ring Dance” by contemporary Latvian composer, Juris Karlsons; “Yom Zeh L’Yisrael,” a traditional Sabbath Hebrew tune arranged by Dudley Cohen and others. For details about the concert, contact Marsha Core at mcore@havsd.net or 610-853-5900 ext. 2104. For information on composer Chris Shultis, visit www.chrisshultis.com.

Philadelphia one of 14 stops on national tour highlighting effective education options for children cross-country, whistle-stop train and motor coach tour in support of school choice will make a stop in Philadelphia. Hosted by National School Choice Week, the tour – which will feature 14 “whistle-stop” events from Newark to San Francisco – will provide students, parents, educators and community leaders with the opportunity to celebrate effective education options, while calling for even greater school choice in Pennsylvania and across the country. The Philadelphia event, the second event on the tour, will take place on Wednesday, January 22, 2014, at 12 p.m. at the National Constitution Center. Attendance is free but an RSVP is requested by visiting www.schoolchoicetrain.com. Local event planning partners include: The Center for Education Reform, Faith First Educational Assistance Corporation, Faith in the Future, Foundation for Excellence in Education, GreatSchools.org, KIPP Philadelphia, PennCAN, Pennsylvania Families for Public Cyber Schools, PublicSchoolOptions.org, REACH Foundation, and StudentsFirst.org. Speakers at this event will be announced in the coming weeks. Now in its fourth year, National School Choice Week (Jan. 26 to Feb. 1, 2014) shines a spotlight on the need for all types of education options—from traditional public schools to public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning, and homeschooling. The Week is an independent, nonpolitical and nonpartisan public awareness effort. Stops along the National School Choice Week 2014 Whistle-Stop Tour include: Newark, Philadelphia, Washington, Charlotte, Columbia, Augusta, Birmingham, Jackson, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Tucson, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. In addition to the tour, National School Choice Week will feature an estimated 5,000 independently-planned and independently-funded events across the country. “Just as whistle-stop tours were used in the past to promote issues of transformational national importance, our tour is designed to galvanize public support for school choice and educational opportunity in local communities across the country,” said Andrew CamK LY WEE ITE panella, president of National School Choice Week.

Symposium to Educate the Greater Philadelphia Community About Jewish Genetic Diseases
• Preventative care • Treatment of Gum Disease • Cosmetic Dentistry: bonding, veneers, tooth whitening • Crowns and bridges, dentures • Root canal treatment • SAFE SEDATION DENTISTRY
Fitting Into Your Genes: Jewish Genetic Diseases – Data, Dilemmas and Decisions instein Healthcare Network’s Victor Center for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases, along with Har Zion Temple, Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Greater Philadelphia, and Emily’s Entourage, today announced that they will host a special symposium on Sunday, January 12, 2014 at Har Zion Temple, 1500 Hagys Ford Road, Penn Valley, PA 19072 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for the community to learn about and advocate for the screening of genetic diseases with a higher prevalence in the Jewish community. The symposium will be followed by a Screening event from 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Har Zion Temple for ages 18-44 to be tested for 19 specific genetic diseases. Registration for the screening can be found at www.victorcenters.org. Walkins are welcome too! The maximum out of pocket cost for screening is $99 with insurance being billed. “Fortunately, we can detect all of these diseases with one simple blood test,” said Adele Schneider, MD, Director of Clinical Genetics at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia. “Further genetic counseling then provides young men and women who are carriers with crucial information as they begin planning to start their own families.” The symposium, entitled “Fitting Into Your Genes: Jewish Genetic Diseases – Data, Dilemmas and Decisions” will feature: Adele Schneider, MD, FACMG, Director of Clinical Genetics at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia, Medical Director of The Victor Center for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases and Professor of Pediatrics, Jefferson Medical College; Emily Kramer-Golinkoff, MBE (Master’s of Bioethics), a Co-Founder of Emily’s Entourage, 501(c)(3) that has raised over $515,000 to accelerate Cystic Fibrosis research in just two years; Pamela Grossman, OTR, MEd, an inclusion and educational consultant, and the proud mother of two grown children, one of whom has a Jewish genetic disease; Jill Stopfer, MS, CGC,

the Senior Genetic Counselor at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania; and, Rebecca Carr, a ten year survivor of Stage III hereditary breast cancer who is passionate about spreading the word that “knowledge is power.” Approximately 1 in 4 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of a mutation in a gene for at least 1 of 19 specific inherited diseases that are more common in the Jewish population. While a carrier is a healthy person, a carrier may pass on a gene mutation to their offspring. If their partner is a carrier for the same gene there is the same 1 in 4 risk of bearing a child affected by that disease. Some of these diseases, such as Tay-Sachs Disease and Walker-Warburg Syndrome, can lead to the early death of a child. The Victor Center for the Prevention of Jewish Genetic Diseases was created in partnership with Einstein Healthcare Network and Lois Victor who lost two daughters to a Jewish genetic disease. “We would like to see these tests become as routine as a blood test for marriage,” said Lois Victor. The Victor Center, offers education, genetic counseling and screenings for Jewish genetic diseases. On a national level, Victor Center staff members work with healthcare professionals, clergy and the community to create awareness. A simple blood test is all that is needed to learn if you are a carrier. The Victor Center is located in Philadelphia with regional Victor Centers in Boston, Miami and Philadelphia and a screening program in Pittsburgh. Emily’s Entourage is a 501(c)(3) that raises funds and awareness to accelerate the pace of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) research. Founded in honor of Emily, a young woman valiantly pursuing life full-speed despite advanced-stage CF, Emily’s Entourage is about joining together and leveraging the power of community to help find a cure for Emily and the 70,000 people living with CF.

Make a New Year’s Resolution to Be a Blood Donor ince 1970, January has been recognized as National Blood Donor Month to honor donors and stress the importance of blood donation. This January, start the year off by making a resolution to help your community and the lives of people around you. It’s the perfect time to donate blood – when unpredictable weather and post-holiday activities make it difficult for donors to schedule appointments. If you already donate once each year, make it two in 2014. According to the American Red Cross, every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. More than 41,000 blood donations are needed every day. There are only a few requirements to be eligible to donate blood. Donors must be healthy, weigh at least 110 pounds and be at least 17 years old in most states or 16 years old with
S
parental consent if allowed by state law. The American Red Cross reports that just one pint of blood donated can save up to three lives. “Since many major surgeries need blood to be available on standby, blood donation plays a vital role in patient safety,” says Donna Balsley, Quality Insights of Pennsylvania Health Care Quality Improvement Director. “Blood donation is a small way to make a big impact on your community.” As the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Pennsylvania, Quality Insights of Pennsylvania is committed to helping hospitals and nursing homes provide better patient care. A component of this work is surgery safety. To learn more about the blood donation process and to locate a blood donation event near you, visit the American Red Cross Web site at http://www.redcrossblood.org/.

“Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson: A Secret Love Story” Presentation ally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson: A Secret Love Story” will be the topic of Dr. Nina Haydel on January 16, at 1:30 p.m. at Temple Sholom in Broomall. Dr. Haydel, a Philadelphia native, has lived and taught in Latin America and the Middle East. She holds a Doctorate from Temple University and has taught on the university level for 27 years in the U.S. and abroad. She currently teaches at Ryder University, is academic advisor and professor of a Master of Arts Education program at Central Michigan University, and designs and teaches online courses for two additional universities. Dr. Haydel will present a new twist to the saga of Sally Hemings, the 38 year slave-wife and love of Thomas Jefferson. Her presentation will be in the first person, offering different viewpoints on a long-debated and sometimes controversial history. She fell in love with Sally Hemings through reading both primary and secondary sources. Nina has crept into Sally’s skin to share her life through this entertaining historical impersonation. ‘Sally’ provides insight about her genealogical background, her relationship with the Jefferson family and her experiences as a free woman in Paris. This proud mother also describers her seven children, fathered by Jefferson. The public is invited to the program, which is being presented by the Hilltoppers, the senior citizen group of Temple Sholom. A $2 donation is suggested from non-members of Hilltoppers. Refreshments will be served. For directions and information, call Temple Sholom in Broomall at 610-365-5165.

Gates’ talk at the Constitution Center will focus on what he calls the “great controversies” of his tenure as secretary of defense including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantánamo Bay, WikiLeaks, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” and the mission to capture and kill Osama Bin Laden. He will also address the “political war” he often faced with Congress, the Department of Defense, and the White House. Robert M. Gates served as secretary of defense from 2006 to 2011. On his last day in office, President Barack Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s
