Valley Forge Military Academy & College Graduation Page 7 ost people would call being married nearly 50 years a real feat. Now imagine you worked with your spouse every day and night. And what if you worked together at Philadelphia’s oldest tavern and one of the oldest in the country? Chris Mullins, Sr., who owns McGillin’s Olde Ale House with his wife, Mary Ellen, and their son, Christopher Mullins, Jr., says working with his spouse of 47 years is like being married 99 years. Mary Ellen says it’s like being married 100 years. But they both say it goodnaturedly, acknowledging that since they are together all day and night, they’re together

He’s in charge of the 30 beers on tap and seasonal cocktails and she makes sure the kitchen runs like a tight ship preparing homemade comfort food including favorites like wings, mile high meatloaf, Shepherd’s Pie and more. They drive to and from work separately too so they have transition time between home and work. The duo purchased McGillin’s from Mary Ellen’s father and uncle in 1993. Prior to that they ran Morley’s Pub in Havertown then in Norristown, across from the Courthouse. They’ve worked together since 1980, except for a brief stint when they “tried the normal life” – he in sales and she as a teacher. They preferred being together. Another strategy?

YEARS OF WORKING TOGETHER June Burger of the Month Proceeds Benefit Animal Rescue Continued from front page
for her birthday is one of the fringe benefits of working together. And do they take their work disagreements home? “Don’t even go there,” said Chris, Sr., with a laugh. They don’t say it, but a sense of humor helps their partnership too. The real secret, according to Mary Ellen, is “doing the little things” like pouring Chris coffee when she notices that he’s almost finished his cup. Or, helping him out, as when it’s time to decorate the bar for the holidays, which McGillin’s does BIG for every holiday from Valentine’s Day to St. Patrick’s Day to Christmas, she’ll bring out the decorations, he’ll carry them to the car and they’ll decorate together. The other secret and what keeps Mary Ellen from being jealous of the beautiful women who patronize the historic tavern, is a shared set of values. “We have the same goals,” she said. And maybe its that long-time commitment that is the secret to why so many other couples find love at the tavern. Reportedly more couples meet at the historic tavern in Center City near City Hall, than any other place in the city. While working together can be challenging, Mary Ellen and Chris Mullins, Sr. seem to have found how to make it “beer”able at Philadelphia’s oldest bar. McGillin’s Olde Ale House is located at 1310 Drury Street (between 13th & Juniper, Chestnut & Sansom), 215-735-5562, www.mcgillins.com.

The Shining 4K Restoration with Steadicam Inventor Garrett Brown resh off its Cannes Film Festival debut, the new 4K restoration of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining comes to BMFI, rereleased in theaters for a very limited time. In celebration of the stunning remaster, renowned cinematographer Garrett Brown, who invented the Steadicam and served as camera operator on The Shining, will join BMFI for a special behind-thescenes Q&A after a screening. In The Shining, would-be novelist Jack Torrance accepts a gig as winter caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel, committing his family to months of isolation. But the Overlook has a bloody past, and its lingering spirits soon turn Jack toward a sinister path. Starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, and adapted from Stephen King’s novel, Stanley Kubrick’s horror milestone has fascinated and terrified audiences for nearly four decades. Some of the film’s most iconic scenes – Danny’s tricycle rides through the Overlook’s hallways, the intense cat-and-mouse chase through the hedge maze – were made possible only by Garrett Brown’s medium-changing Steadicam, and his expertise behind the camera. The Shining will show at Bryn Mawr Film Institute on Wednesday, June 26, 2019, at 7 p.m., and on Saturday, June 29, 2019, at 9:30 p.m. Steadicam inventor and operator on The Shining, Garrett Brown, will be in attendance for a post-film Q&A during the Wednesday, June 26 screening only. Tickets are $12.50 for general admission, $10 for seniors and students, and $8 for BMFI members. Tickets are available through www.BrynMawrFilm.org or at the Box Office during operating hours. Bryn Mawr Film Institute is located at 824 W. Lancaster Ave. in Bryn Mawr, PA.

Gail Kolflat states: “As an artist I find it compelling to create compositions of human society. My paintings are a recording of people today, living in our world, partaking in experiences, culture and lifestyles common to us all. Painted over a period of months, my compositions evolve much on their own. “Observing and delving into the interplay of shapes, textures and colors is what drew me into the visual arts. I focus on groupings of people—who they are, where they are, why they are there, the ambiance surrounding them collectively as well as individually.” Gail Kolflat is a notable east coast artist, who returned to the exhibition arena in 2013 after taking a fifteen-year break while raising her daughters.

Ehrhart has taught at Haverford for 18 years, and has also coached track. During the christening ceremony, head crew coach Jonathan Stephanik highlighted Ehrhart’s commitment to the School and to the hundreds of students he has taught during his almost two decades of service. “It was a pleasure and great surprise that the graduating student-athletes wanted to honor Dr. Ehrhart by naming the new shell after him,” said Stephanik. “He dedicated almost 20 years to mentoring, educating, and leading the boys on the path to being better young men. He was 100% invested in The Haverford School, and the crew program is thrilled to have a boat named after him to continue his presence at Haverford for years to come.” Ehrhart, a Vietnam veteran and nationally recognized poet, will retire at the end of the 2019 school year. He spoke about the honor of having a shell named after him. “These last few weeks at Haverford have been filled with wonderful experiences,” said Ehrhart. “However, never in my wildest dreams did it ever occur to me that I’d have a boat named after me at Haverford. I’m thankful to the crew program and Coach Stephanik for this tremendous honor.” The crew team finished the spring season with 12 medals at the championship regattas. The program competed at the Philadelphia City Championships (two golds, two silvers, and three bronze prizes), the Stotesbury Cup Regatta (two silvers, one bronze), and SRAA National Championships (two silvers).

S TUDENTS TAKING A CTION TO R EDUCE D ISTRACTED D RIVING he numbers are frightening. Each year more than 400,000 people are injured, more than 3,000 die (the majority being young people), and all in accidents caused by a distracted driver. While governmental and nonprofit organizations conduct a variety of programs to combat this problem, a new direction in preventing distracted driving incidents has now been undertaken by young people.
T
Students signing safe driving pledges at Hunter Watson Safe Driving Campaign event. Groups at high schools and colleges across the country have been holding campaigns to encourage their fellow students to sign pledges to avoid distracted driving and to help educate their fellow students about this issue. Recent student-led programs took place this past spring at a number of schools, including the University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania State University and Edinboro University. These campus-wide safe driving campaigns began following the death of Hunter Watson, a Syracuse University student who died as a passenger in a distracted driving accident. His Phi Kappa Psi fraternity brothers decided to honor Hunter’s memory by working to reduce the number of accidents, injuries and deaths linked to a driver using his or her cell phone while behind the wheel. The fraternities and other groups hold safe driving events where students sign pledges to not use cell phones or take part in other activities that take attention away from the road while driving. Following Hunter’s death, his family and friends formed the Hunter Brooks Watson Memorial Fund, a nonprofit organization which provides grants to young innovators, and now helps students at high schools and colleges offer “Hunter’s Pledge,” a Safe Driving Campaign for their school campuses. The Fund provides Campaign Kits which include pledge cards, wrist bands, safe driving handouts and advertising posters, all geared to helping the sponsoring students encourage their classmates to sign “Hunter’s Pledge” cards. Studies have shown that signing a pledge is 47% more effective at changing behavior than any other incentive. In less than a year this campaign has expanded from one campus at Syracuse University to 18 other schools nationwide that have launched “Hunter’s Pledge” campaigns. Participating schools now include not only Pennsylvania schools, but also the University of Georgia, University of Texas, University of Minnesota, University of California Berkeley, several high schools, and many other college campuses. The Hunter Watson Fund is now encouraging and looking to support additional colleges and high schools to participate in this highly effective program. More information is available on the Fund's website at www.hunterwatson.org/events.
Epilepsy Foundation Eastern PA to Host Annual Walk Walk to End Epilepsy Brings Together Community he Epilepsy Foundation Eastern Pennsylvania (EFEPA) is hosting its annual Walk to End Epilepsy – Philadelphia. As part of the Epilepsy Foundation of America’s nationwide movement, the local organization is uniting with epilepsy champions from coast to coast to End Epilepsy and the many challenges associated with the diagnosis. On Saturday, June 15 thousands of individuals and families affected by epilepsy will join the EFEPA at Citizens Bank Park for a fun day of celebration all while raising critical funds and awareness for the local epilepsy community. The Walk is non-competitive, family friendly, and open to the public. It’s free to register with fundraising strongly encouraged. All funds raised are put to immediate use in continuing to provide free support services, programs and resources to the individuals and families living in with epilepsy and seizure disorders. Activities include: Walk the concourse, warning track and bases; Music and entertainment; Children’s games, activities and entertainment; Giveaways and prizes; and, Networking and community building. “Epilepsy can be incredibly frightening and debilitating, particularly for individuals living with uncontrolled seizures, or for parents of a newly diagnosed child. All too often people feel isolated, discriminated against, and misunderstood,” explains Elizbeth Beil, President & CEO for the EFEPA, “but the Walk to End Epilepsy is our opportunity to come together, build community, and celebrate a common bond and shared vision to end epilepsy, and every obstacle that comes along with a diagnosis.” Registration opens to the public at 9:30 a.m. and the Walk kicks off at 10:30 a.m. Vendors will be onsite offering additional information to attendees. Opportunities for sponsorship or vendor tables are still available. The EFEPA anticipates over 2500 people will attend. The Epilepsy Foundation Eastern Pennsylvania is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to stop seizures and SUDEP, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy through efforts including education, advocacy and research to accelerate ideas into therapies. To register, visit www.EpilepsyWalkPHL.org. For more information about this topic, contact Missy Dolaway at 215-629-5003, or mdolaway@efepa.org. For information on the EFEPA and the free programs, services and resources provided, visit www.efepa.org.

Youth Suicide Parent Resource Program Youth Suicide is a major health problem facing the youth in our nation, state and communities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2017 Youth Risk Behavioral Survey over ONE out of every FOURTEEN young people in our nation attempted suicide in the previous 12 months. Yet, most people are unaware of the danger suicide presents for our young people. The Parent Resource Program (PRP) is a webbased program designed specifically for parents; however, the information provided is an excellent resource for educators, coaches, youth workers, other adults, and young people. The Jason Foundation (JFI) believes that awareness and education are key elements to preventing youth suicide. The main focus of the PRP is to provide information that will assist parents to recognize changes in behaviors that may indicate suicidal thoughts and know what to do to help an at-risk child. The PRP provides: Youth Suicide Statistics, Common Suicide Myths, Signs of Concern, Higher Risk Groups, Risk Factors & Elevated Risk Factors, What a Parent Can Do, Do’s and Don’ts, Resources for Assistance, Parent and Community Seminar. For information, visit the Parent Resource Program website: http://prp.jasonfoundation.com/. Every Wednesday Pick Up Your FREE Copy of CITY SUBURBAN NEWS!

From left – Joe Herman, John Barker and Susan Blair perform in The Stagecrafters’ production of “Copenhagen,” running through June 23. he Stagecrafters theater concludes its 2018-2019 season with Michael Frayn’s fascinating and electrifying tour de force, Copenhagen. This play is at its heart a historical detective story unfolding against the backdrop of one of the twentieth century’s most consequential events. In 1941, in wartime Denmark, Neils Bohr, celebrated Danish physicist and his wife Margrethe, received in their home Werner Heisenberg, their former protégé and friend from Germany, who at the time may (or may not) be working on the atomic bomb for the Germans! Such a meeting between these two giants of science, who as collaborators twenty years earlier had revolutionized theoretical physics, is indeed known to have taken place, but exactly what they talked about at that time, as representatives of opposite sides in a world at war, remains conjectural. Frayn presents an imagined picture of this encounter, thus treating us to a fascinating discourse on human relationships, memories, personal convictions, and the fate of the world in the atomic age. Premiering in 1998, Copenhagen ran for over 1000 performances in London for nearly three years, concurrent with a nearly year-long Broadway run starting in April of 2000. It won the Tony Award for Best Play; also Best Play awards from the Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics’ Circle. The play has met with wide critical acclaim – from Carol Rocamora (The Nation): “… will be among the most exhilarating, challenging and involving [stints] you ever spend in a theater. …”; from Ben Brantley (The New York Times): “… Who would have ever thought [that] three … long-winded people [going on] about atomic physics would be such electrifying [company]? … The result is the most invigorating and ingenious play of ideas in many a year … .” Michael Frayn (b. 1933), playwright, novelist, and comedic writer, has earned the status as one of the most versatile authors in the English language. He can lay claim to over a dozen novels in his repertoire, as well as some three dozen plays, spanning the past half-century. Among his best-known plays, in addition to Copenhagen (1998), are Afterlife (2008), Democracy (2003), and the perennial audience favorite, the farce Noises Off (1982), which was produced at The Stagecrafters in 2007. Upcoming performance dates are: June 13-16, Thur., Fri., Sat. at 8 p.m., Sun. at 2 p.m.; June 20-23, Thur., Fri., Sat. at 8 p.m., Sun. at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at $21.

The Kingston Trio to Perform Legendary folk music group The Kingston Trio will perform two shows at Bristol Riverside Theatre on Sunday, July 7. Tickets are available for both the 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. shows. The Kingston Trio recently celebrated 60 years of entertaining audiences with the “Keep the Music Playing Tour.” All three current members, Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Don Marovich have intrinsic links to and experience with the original group: Mike is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor; Tim, a close friend since boyhood, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Don Marovich, who toured with the Trio. Many of their personal memories recall the iconic trio’s performances and journey as folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture – and the top of the music charts. They’ll perform such timeless classics as “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?,” “Tom Dooley” and “MTA.” Tickets are $49 and are available by visiting www.brtstage.org or calling the BRT Box Office at 215-7850100. Bristol Riverside Theatre is located at 120 Radcliffe Street in Bristol, PA. Find Great Upcoming Events Every Week in City Suburban News!
