His personal high score in Scrabble is 591. “But,” he says, “I would probably lose to the kid in the book.” Browning will be going on a national tour to promote the book this summer.

Opera Company Presents The Barber of Seville he Delaware Valley Opera Company announces its second offering for the 2014 Summer Opera Festival: Gioacchino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville. The Barber of Seville lives in most Americans’ memories as the soundtrack to many a Bugs Bunny cartoon. A fitting tribute to Rossini’s hilarious opera, rife with wacky disguises, mistaken identities, a silly music lesson, and plot after plot aimed at making the villain look foolish. Rosina is a young, resourceful woman forbidden any contact with the outside world without her guardian’s consent. But a few locked doors aren’t going to stop Count Almaviva from wooing the girl of his dreams. Almaviva uses disguises and trickery with the help of his friend Figaro, the barber of Seville, to steal a few moments with his dear Rosina. The couple’s bliss is interrupted by Rosina’s guardian Dr. Bartolo, and by her shifty music teacher, Don Basilio. To make matters worse, Bartolo has decided to marry his young ward. There is no other choice; Rosina needs to escape from Bartolo’s house so she can be free to marry Almaviva. With Figaro coaching them every step of the way, what could possibly go wrong? The opera will be sung in Italian with English supertitles. The cast includes baritone Jeff Chapman as Figaro, tenor Kent Schauble as Count Almaviva, mezzo-soprano Alyssa Lehman as Rosina, bass Brian Carter as Dr. Bartolo, bass-bari-

Paul W. Meyer, the F. Otto Haas Executive Director of the Morris Arboretum, received the prestigious “Liberty Hyde Bailey Award” from the American Horticultural Society. aul W. Meyer, the F. Otto Haas Executive Director of the Morris Arboretum, received the prestigious Liberty Hyde Bailey Award from the American Horticultural Society (AHS) at its June 5th Great American Gardeners Awards Ceremony at River Farm in Alexandria, Virginia. AHS presents the Liberty Hyde Bailey Award to an individual who has made significant lifetime contributions to a least three of the following horticultural fields: teaching, research, communications, plant exploration, administration, art, business, and leadership. “There is little doubt that Liberty Hyde Bailey was the most important proponent of Horticulture in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is more than fitting that this award goes to Paul Meyer for his achievements in administration, communication, institution-building and plant introduction. His career has epitomized the breadth and magnitude of accomplishment for which this award was created. Throughout his career Paul has never sought personal acclaim for his accomplishments, but has exerted servant leadership as primus inter pars – first among equals. By embodying that rare quality of close identification with the institution he has served for almost four decades, Paul has created something more lasting and more positively effective than any personal fame. I am pleased to have known him over his entire career, and to be able to say that this man is my friend,” said Dick Lighty about Meyer’s award. Lighty himself was a recipient of the award in 1999. “This recognition would not be possible without the help of a dedicated Board, hardworking staff and volunteers, and all of the Arboretum’s generous supporters,” Meyer was quick to add when congratulated for this prestigious award. “This is an affirmation of the national and international impact of the Morris Arboretum,” he continued. Paul W. Meyer has been the F. Otto Haas Executive Director of the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania since 1991. Meyer came to the Arboretum as curator of the living collection in 1976, and has played a significant role in its transformation from a dilapidated lesser-known former private estate into a world-class public garden that welcomes approximately 130,000 visitors each year. The Morris Arboretum is also a research and educational institution that maintains a database of Flora of Pennsylvania and participates in international plant exploration expeditions. Meyer helped found the NACPEC (North America-China Plant Exploration Consortium) in 1991 and has traveled extensively to China and other parts of the world in search of new plants to evaluate for introduction to American gardens. Through the NACPEC, the Morris Arboretum and other prominent participating North American public gardens have developed a strong relationship with Chinese botanical gardens to share information aimed at improving plant conservation efforts and widening the generic pool of species commonly used in horticultural breeding programs. Just as the Morris Arboretum has become more widely recognized in recent years, Paul Meyer is not just Philadelphia’s secret. With this award and many others from horticultural organizations, he is clearly recognized for his achievements, and well respected among his peers nationally. Katy Moss Warner, President Emeritus of the American Horticultural Society and currently Vice President and City Judge, America in Bloom commented that, “Paul speaks often about ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ in order to have experienced and achieved what he has in this world. He is certainly passing it on. His tall shoulders have inspired many in America and around the world. The American Horticultural Society couldn’t be prouder as we recognize Paul Meyer as the 2014 Liberty Hyde Bailey award winner and add him to the list of those we consider the finest and most influential horticulturists in America.” The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania is located at 100 East Northwestern Avenue in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia.

A sensory garden appeals to all five senses so that it can be enjoyed by artists of all abilities, and is one of the ways the Center is able to fulfill its mission of “Art For Everyone.” Celebratory remarks were given by Haverford Township Commissioner Mario Oliva and Lower Merion Township Commissioners Elizabeth S. Rogan and Scott Zelov. The Sensory Garden Party featured artist demonstrations by Bryn Mawr Rehab Art Ability artists Sal Panasci and Cathy Pregmon, a craft for all ages and abilities and music by DJ Mikey Mike. Inside the Art Center, guests viewed colorful and tactile artwork created by participants in the Accessible Art Programs, including Main Line Art Center’s “Exceptional Art Program” for children, adults, and teens with disabilities, as well as programs with partner organizations Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Elwyn, and theVillage (formerly Presbyterian Children’s Village). An artist reception for Main Line Art Center’s “Jewels & Treasures” exhibition was also held in conjunction with the Sensory Garden Party, highlighting the Center’s professional and Exceptional Artists in one inclusive celebration.

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation Lemon Ride Bicycle Tour July 20 A
lex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to finding cures for all kids with cancer, is proud to announce the return of the Lemon Ride Bicycle Tour presented by Volvo Cars of North America to Doylestown on Sunday, July 20, 2014 at 7 a.m. The event, which starts and ends at Central Bucks – West High School, invites cyclists of all calibers to contribute to the battle against childhood cancer with courses ranging from a 4 mile Family Fun Ride to a 63 mile ride (a metric century). The family friendly event will also include children’s activities at the start/finish. Cycling enthusiasts and all supporters of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation are invited to participate or attend the fun event that offers lengths for various ability levels (4 miles, 12 miles, 35 miles & 63 miles). Lunch, snacks and a limited edition Lemon Ride water bottle will be provided to all those who register for the event. Advanced registration is $70 per person for those 12 years and older, and $35 per person for under 12 years. The opportunity to fundraise prior to the event is available and prizes will be awarded to the top team fundraisers. Contributing to the success of the past two years were several teams formed to honor childhood cancer heroes. Returning teams this year include Team Declan, formed by the Roberts family to honor 4-year-old Declan Roberts, who lost his life to rhabdomyosarcoma in 2012. The family, together with friends and supporters, honor his memory, and Declan’s mom Megan has been actively recruiting additional riders for this year’s event. The Fitzgerald family will return for the second year in a row to honor their son, 10-year-old Cole Fitzgerald and remember friend Danny Hammond, who lost his life to cancer earlier this year. Adding to the day’s festivities, entertainment at the start and finish line provided by The Party Authority and a raffle will allow participants to win various prizes. SAG and mechanical support will be provided by Doylestown Bike Works and
SRAM, while Ride Marshals will be provided by RevZilla. Additionally, Doylestown Bike Works will offer free bike safety checks to registrants any time prior to the ride at their store. The day’s festivities will span from the 7 a.m. start time (for the 63 mile course) until 2 p.m. The bike tour will not be viewed as a race, but instead a ride through the area to raise funds for all kids with cancer. Prizes will however be awarded to the top team fundraisers. Participants are encouraged to form teams and fundraise prior to the event. In addition to the Lemon Ride and Foundation’s annual Lemon Run 5K (slated for Sunday, November 9, 2014), the Foundation has introduced an athletic arm, Team Lemon, for athletes across the country. Team Lemon invites athletes of all calibers to make a difference as they run, bike or swim to reach their personal athletic goals and simultaneously help kids with cancer. In addition to Presenting Sponsor Volvo, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers will return as a Gold Level Sponsor, and Doylestown Hospital and RevZilla will come on board as Silver Sponsors. For more information on The Lemon Ride, to volunteer, register or become a sponsor, visit www.LemonRide.org. Childhood cancer is a general term used to describe cancer in children occurring regularly, randomly and sparing no ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region. Childhood cancer extends to over a dozen types of cancers and a countless amount of subtypes. Just a few of these cancer types include: Ewing’s sarcoma, glioma, leukemia, lymphoma, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and Wilm’s tumor. In the United States, childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15. Every day, approximately 250 kids around the world die from cancer, accounting for 91,250 losing their lives to the disease every year.

CITY SUBURBAN NEWS – Your Community Paper for 29 Years!
rexel University’s Goodwin College of Professional Studies has selected Blackney Hayes principal and Drexel alumnus, Kevin R. Blackney, AIA, as the 2014 recipient of the university’s prestigious Mary S. Irick Drexel Award. The Mary S. Irick Drexel Award is presented annually to an outstanding alumnus or alumna of Goodwin College in recognition of “past contributions of measurable benefit in forwarding the work of Drexel and its future, personal attainments reflecting credit to the University, contributions to civic and community life and a continuing interest and active participation in Drexel activities and in its development in all areas.” The award, which is Drexel’s oldest, was named by George W. Childs Drexel in honor of his wife. Kevin Blackney accepted the award during a ceremony in the Mitchell Auditorium at Drexel’s Bossone Research Center on June 6. Blackney earned his architecture degree from Drexel in 1985 and went on to co-found Blackney Hayes Architects in 1988. Based in Center City, Blackney Hayes specializes in interactive and sustainable design and has been repeatedly recognized for its achievements in interior design, historic preservation, and adaptive reuse. During the convocation ceremony, Gene Petitt, the Mary S. Irick Drexel Society President, also mentioned Blackney Hayes’ innovations in urban school design and a School Construction News article that Blackney co-authored on the subject as key reasons for his selection as this year’s award recipient.
