ARTS, CULTURE & SOCIETY EVENTS Tribute Garden Will Honor Spirit of Chester County Woman Harcum College Building Outdoor Reflection Area in Memory of Sachiko Mallach n enduring memorial to honor the spirit of the late Sachiko “Sachi” Mallach, former Vice President of Advancement at Harcum College, will be installed at the Bryn Mawr Campus on the front lawn of Bedford Hall this October.

A memorial honoring Sachiko “Sachi” Mallach, former Vice President of Advancement at Harcum College, will be installed at the Bryn Mawr Campus on the front awn of Bedford Hall this October. The memorial space will be dedicated during Homecoming 2016 festivities on October 7. The late Ms. Mallach’s husband Dan Mallach of West Chester, who is a landscape architect, collaborated with members of the Harcum community on the design of a garden space filled with seating and landscaping, for contemplation as well as conversation. As the College’s chief advancement officer, Sachi Mallach was instrumental in raising significant funds for capital improvements to the Kevin D. Marlo Little Theatre and the Charles H. Trout Library. Her professional life was characterized by making a difference through action. “Sachi’s dedicated service to Harcum might not be the longest thread in the tapestry of our history, but it would certainly be one of the brightest,” said President Jon Jay DeTemple. The College is accepting gifts to the memorial, which will help beautify the campus as well as support the educational mission of the College since overflow funds will be allocated towards the Harcum Scholarship Fund at www.harcum.edu/garden.

Most people believe they possess an immaterial soul that will survive the death of the body. In sharp contrast, the current scientific consensus rejects the concept of a traditional soul. This conclusion is rarely discussed publicly. Musolino will explain why modern science leads to this controversial conclusion, and he’ll also demonstrate that we don’t lose anything by letting go of “soul beliefs” and that there is something important to gain in doing so. The aim of Musolino’s scientific work is to understand the functioning and development of aspects of the human mind such as language, reasoning, and critical thinking. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. “It captures the fallacy that the idea that we have a soul which I think isn’t true,” Musolino said and which he demonstrates in his book, “but also the idea that is constantly repeated in our culture by different voices that unless we believe in the soul, unless people believe in the soul, then our lives would be devoid of meaning and purpose which I think is a fallacy as well. It’s perfectly fine, in fact perfectly normal, for a lot of people to not have those beliefs and live perfectly happy, meaningful lives.” In addition to being a scientist, author and public speaker, Dr. Julien Musolino is a tenured professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, where he holds a dual appointment in the psychology department and the Center for Cognitive Science. Born and raised in France, he studied at the University of Geneva in neighboring Switzerland; the University of North Wales, Bangor, in the United Kingdom; the University of Maryland; and the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of numerous scientific articles and is regularly invited to give lectures in

the United States and around the world. He has appeared on television programs, including The O’Reilly Factor, his work has been discussed in popular magazines, including Psychology Today, and he’s been a guest speaker on radio and podcast programs in the United States and abroad. Musolino is also deeply interested in science, the history and development of science, the public understanding of science, and the factors that interfere with the understanding and dissemination of scientific knowledge. His resent work focuses on the implications of the sciences of mind for a range of issues at the interface between science and society. The goal of this work is to promote the role, understanding, and importance of science, reason, and critical thinking, especially in a country like the United States. This work takes on a public dimension, and is represented by literary agencies in New York and London as well as the Speakers Bureau of the Secular Student Alliance. “As science is more and more subject to grave misuse as well as to use for human benefit it has also become the scientist’s responsibility to become aware of the social relations and applications of his subject, and to exert his influence in such a direction as will result in the best applications of the findings in his own and related fields. Thus he must help in educating the public, in the broad sense, and this means first educating himself, not only in science but in regard to the great issues confronting mankind today.” Julien Musolino’s “The Soul Fallacy” presentation is free and open to the public and takes place 7 p.m. Wednesday, August 24, at the Ludington Library, 5 South Bryn Mawr Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA.

2016 Atlantic City Airshow August 17 he planes that trained Navy pilots of the Greatest Generation take wing over the Atlantic City Boardwalk August 17 in a breathtaking demonstration of precision combat maneuvers that helped win World War II and the Korean War. The team’s six vintage SNJ training aircraft will roar over air show crowds in an 18-minute, low-level precision-flying demonstration honoring the US Armed Forces. “Most of our team members earned their wings in the military and we always pay tribute to the brave combat pilots who originally trained in our aircraft as well as those currently serving in the US military,” says GEICO Skytypers Commanding Officer Larry Arken. Arken also is the team’s flight leader. “It is a special privilege to fly these vintage WWII trainers on behalf of GEICO.” Nearly every Allied pilot who flew in the Second World War strapped into a North American Aviation designed T-6 or SNJ. The GEICO Skytypers fly the SNJ-2 version – a bit shorter and equipped with a larger fuel tank for more flight time. The aircraft hauls its 5500 pound bulk into the sky behind a 600 horsepower Pratt and Whitney 9 cylinder radial engine. The Skytypers’ routine includes combat tactics and maneuvers that helped win the skies during some of the major conflicts of the 20th Century. The team is based in Farmindale, NY, where the 75-year-old planes are maintained by a fulltime staff of expert mechanics who travel with the pilots to every air show. For the 2016 Atlantic City Airshow presented by GEICO, the two solo aircraft also will race the eight-time World Champion Miss GEICO powerboat is an epic air-sea battle. “It’s a friendly rivalry but we’re all fierce competitors,” says New Jersey native and Miss GEICO throttleman Scott Begovich. “Winds, weather and waves can present some interesting challenges when navigating speeds in excess of 150 mph on
T
the water.” In addition to their air show performances, the SNJs are retrofitted to type giant messages in the sky. Flying wingtipto-wingtip in a line-abreast formation, the lead plane sends computer signals to each of four other aircraft, synchronizing smoke releases to generate 1,000-foot-tall messages. Each letter is higher than the Empire State Building and can be formed in three to four seconds. “People on the ground can see our messages from 15 miles away,” says Steve Kapur, the GEICO Skytypers marketing officer. “The messages appear in dot-matrix style, but on a monumental scale and 17 times faster than traditional skywriting.” The Atlantic City Air Show kicks off August 17 at 10:40 a.m. with a thrill-packed day of airborne flybys, demonstrations and performances including the U.S. Army Golden Knights, ChefPitts Aerobatics, Rob Holland, Scott Francis, the USCM’s MV-22 Osprey, the Navy’s F/A-18F Super Hornet, Jim Beasley Jr.’s vintage P-51 Mustang and the U.S. Coast Guard’s Eurocopter HH-65 Dolphin search and rescue chopper. The USAF Thunderbirds cap off the day with a thunderous hour-long performance demonstrating the awesome skills every fighter pilot seeks to hone to perfection. The show spotlights the maximum capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon – the Air Force’s premier multi-role fighter jet. This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC with spectacular views of the action from the world famous Atlantic City Boardwalk.

hundering Japanese taiko drums, colorful kimono-clad dancers, and bright lights of a traditional summer festival in Japan come to Ardmore on Saturday evening, August 13. It’s called “O-bon” (pronounced Oh-bone) and it’s the festival that Americans who have lived in Japan remember most fondly. “It’s a community festival that nearly every town or village in Japan organizes to welcome back the spirits of our ancestors,” according to Dr. Takako Suzuki, President of the 200+ member Japanese Association of Greater Philadelphia. But it’s not really a solemn occasion—“It’s a bit like combining America’s Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, and a summer church carnival into one festival” said Patrick Dailey, who with his Japanese wife Seiko, owns and operates Maido!, a Japanese market and restaurant on Lancaster Avenue in the heart of Ardmore. While on a smaller scale than most of the O-bon Festivals in Japan or even in California and Hawaii, Ardmore’s O-bon is ambitious, offering inexpensive Japanese carnival-style games for kids and adults, traditional Japanese festival foods, and even helping you write your name in Japanese! But mostly, it’s about family and the joy of reuniting with relatives and friends. “Many of our members are 8,000 miles from home and can’t go back to Japan every year, so having this festival is a way to stay connected to the traditions that people remember most fondly” says Dr. Suzuki. “This festival promises lively music, colorful summer kimonos by festival-goers, and an infectious dance-step that will give you the experience of being in Japan—without the $1,200 airfare!” added Dailey. Admission is free and open to the public. The fun starts at 6:30 p.m. at Schauffle Plaza Parking Lot (at Tired Hands Fermentaria) 12 E. Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore.

Merion Mercy Students Shine in the Summer
C ONTINUES T HROUGH A UG . 21 AIR CONDITIONED
lthough the summer months are often associated with a time of rest for most high school students, the young women at Merion Mercy Academy tend to plan their time off with an eye to enrichment experiences. The season proves to be an excellent chance for students to get work experience, serve, travel, create, and make an impact the lives of others, reaping the rewards of time well spent whether participating in a service trip or study abroad experience or taking a course right on campus.
A
Rising Merion Mercy seniors take a moment for a photo at a service site in Kentucky. From left – Katie Troy, of Blue Bell; Anne Hughes, of Woodbury, NJ; Maida Pannepacker, of Havertown; Maeve Eells, of Philadelphia; Jessica Boyle, of Philadelphia; Amanda Paolini, of Medford, NJ; and Emily Maminski, of Newtown Square. Similar to the school year, service opportunities present themselves throughout the summer months. In the past two decades, Merion’s Mercy Volunteer Program (MVP) visited far-off places, such as Kentucky, West Virginia, Arizona, Peru, and Mexico, and closer sites in Camden and Trenton. “The works we do in the various programs during the summer have broad range. MVP volunteers build, paint homes, garden, serve dinners at homeless shelters, lead vacation Bible school, and take on a variety of assignments given to us by the point person at each site,” said faculty member and MVP moderator Ms. Kimberly Baxter. The MMA student and faculty volunteers live in community for an extended period of time and are called to spirit-filled reflection that encourages them to grow in their role as women of Mercy. While some students participate in outreach, others choose to broaden their cultural and social boundaries in other ways. Annually, trips are offered to foreign destinations. Students have traveled to places such as France, Spain, England, Ireland, Greece, Peru, and Italy to study art, architecture, and language and to experience cultural immersion. During break, students have also gone to Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands with the Science department while honing in on their language skills. Students do not have to leave campus, though, to enjoy a significant educational experience. The Summer Programs at Merion Mercy has been in place for the almost 25 years; it offers courses in subjects ranging from Chemistry to Writing. Most interestingly, elementary school students and incoming freshmen cannot wait to get on our campus, and they take courses to prepare them for the academic challenges of high school. Although elective courses vary each year, the summer program offers classes such as dance, study of chamber music, photography, and art. Students as young as sixth grade can sign up for programs, see MMA’s campus, meet coaches and/or teachers, and get to know the school’s programs first hand. However, the first opportunity for all-girls academic enrichment is the pre-eighth program called the Summer Academy. Summer Academy is a full-day, four-week program designed as an enrichment experience for girls entering grade eight. The Summer Academy helps students begin the transition from an elementary school to a college preparatory high school program. Students take courses, such as pre-algebra, language arts, study skills, and they choose an athletic or dance class. Although each summer activity revolves around Mercy values, perhaps no summer program exposes students to the Mercy charism as much as the Mercy Leadership Academy. Students from various Mercy high schools gather at Gwynedd-Mercy College for a four-day leadership program. Participants learn more about the foundations of Mercy, attend workshops, and share ideas with other leaders in their extended community of Mercy. One objective is to select a cause that the Mercy schools will support during the school year. In collaboration with the other Mercy schools, Merion Mercy has raised more than $100,000 for women and children in need throughout the world in the last five years. The efforts have been dubbed the “Mercy Girl Effect.”
AIM Academy Receives Specialized Foundation Bike Program Grant Academy has been selected as one of nine schools from a pool of 200 applicants to receive a Riding for Focus grant from The Specialized Foundation to begin a cycling program this fall. Riding for Focus, a program developed by the non-profit arm of bike maker Specialized Bicycle Components, integrates cycling into the academic day as a tool to help children achieve academic and social success. Program Champion and Upper School Teacher Anne Rock believes AIM’s location along the Schuylkill River Trail and its population of diverse learners made it a perfect match for the program. “Our faculty and occupational therapists anticipate great benefits reaped from the Riding for Focus program on students’ executive functions, academic focus, and physical well-being,” Rock said. “Plus, research has shown that exercise near water elevates mood and AIM is nestled between a bike path and the Schuylkill River.” AIM is one of just nine schools nationwide selected this year to receive the two-year grant which includes up to 30 youth Specialized bikes and helmets, a starter maintenance kit and program curriculum. Rock will also travel to Specialized headquarters in Morgan Hill, Calif. in early August to receive program and support training. The Riding for Focus program is designed to introduce students to cycling’s positive effects on health, wellbeing, and academic performance, with a particular focus on students with learning differences such as ADHD. The curriculum has been built based on research done by a third-party research organization that studied the impact of cycling on middle school students. “I am thrilled for the opportunity to be one of the few schools in the nation to participate in this phenomenal program,” said AIM Athletic Director Mike Brooks. “The Riding for Focus curriculum truly mirrors AIM’s philosophy, and does so in a way that encourages a lifelong healthy lifestyle. Anne Rock is the perfect person to take the lead in this endeavor. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and I am confident she will provide a challenging, and fun, educational atmosphere for our 6th- 8th grade riders.”

The Role of Dentistry in Prescribing Opioids
tember 15 - 22 at Asian Arts Initiative Studio A (1219 Vine Street, Philadelphia, second floor). How do we measure time? What is contained in a moment? And just what are we waiting for, anyway? Meet Joann Merri weather. She’s worked in the call center of Building 14 for a very long time. And now she’s looking at where that time goes. Tasked with leading her co-workers in a time management seminar, Joann must look at how she spends her own time, and how her minutes add up. Weaving clown, movement, audience participation and narrative, “The Long Tides” is at turns both comic character study and poignant audit of how we spend our minutes—and what happens in the moments that stand out. “I started working on this character, Joann, when I was in theater school in Italy,” says artist Nicole Quenelle. “After taking a year off from performing, I realized I wanted to play her again—I felt she had a lot of poetic potential to be the heart of a character-driven solo piece. And because Joann is also something of a clown, I felt like her vulnerability could hopefully be quite recognizable to the audience. Also recognizable – I think, and hope – is this theme of time. Because it affects us all, no one can escape it. I wanted to put Joann in a situation that forces her to really think about how she spends her time, and what it all adds up to, because she’s been doing the same thing with it for so long. So the piece starts to probe questions that are rather dark and poignant, but that I think have a lot of comic potential as well—and I hope I can bring both of those things through in the final piece.” Quenelle is working with a team of well-respected Philly artists to help her bring “The Long Tides” together, including Pig Iron’s Sarah Sanford (director of “Underground Railroad Game”) as outside eye and The Wilma Theater’s Nell Bang-Jensen as dramaturg. “Sarah has an extraordinary ability to help me hone in on character details and ask questions in rehearsal that lead me to explore new material and territory that I wasn’t expecting, which is really critical, I think, in a devising process,” says Quenelle. “And Nell has been instrumental in helping to focus the questions I’m asking about time, and help me delve deeper into the research for the sources of inspiration for these. I’m really lucky to be working with some very smart artists who are pretty established in Philly—which is doubly great for me, being relatively unknown here. It’s fantastic to have them in the rehearsal room with me.” “The Long Tides” has been supported by a residency at Drop, Forge & Tool in Hudson, NY, donation of rehearsal hours from FringeArts, and the generous contributions of individual donors. Originally from Durham, NC, Nicole Quenelle first got a taste of the Philly theater scene when she took a workshop with Pig Iron Theater Company in 2009—and returned to work as the assistant writer on the company’s Fringe hit “Welcome to Yuba City.” She then left the country to study Lecoqbased physical theater in Italy, and returned to Philadelphia to put down roots as an independent artist. A former member of Durham, NC’s experimental troupe Little Green Pig, Nicole has worked on original movement-based pieces and adaptations, as well as classics from Shakespeare and Moliere to Ibsen. She has been a movement coach and teaching artist for William Peace University (Raleigh, NC), Durham School for the Arts, Philadelphia Shakespeare Theater, and The Greenfield Collective (“50 Days at Illium,” 2015 Philadelphia Fringe), and has also performed with the American Dance Festival under the direction of choreographer Mark Dendy. “The Long Tides” is Nicole’s first self-produced theater piece in Philadelphia. Tickets: $10-$15. Available starting in August through FringeArts at http://fringearts.com/event/the-long-tides/. Additional tickets available at the door.

n the recent months and years, the rise of opioid abuse and addiction has caused major concern among health care professionals and is now being addressed by legislators and the Governor’s Administration. While this has become an epidemic across the United States, Pennsylvania is one of the 20 states with a higher rate of drug overdoses than the national average. According to a recent study by University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, “Fatal drug overdoses in Pennsylvania increased 14-fold between 1979 and 2014 with the highest rates among females, white people and those between the ages of 35 and 44.” Dentists are finding themselves at the forefront of this issue, due to the prescription of opioids that are often given to patients who have wisdom teeth removed or other involved dental surgery. Opioids are a class of drugs that include powerful pain relievers such as oxycontin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl and codeine. Dr. Joel Funari, PDA member dentist from Devon and Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, says that some of these drug addictions can be traced back to a person’s trip to the dentist. “Young people typically have their first exposure to opioids after wisdom teeth removal, minor surgical procedures or after athletic injuries,” Dr. Funari said. “Additionally, unused narcotic prescription pills left in the house are targets for use by other family members or resold on the street due to their high value. Once addicted to prescription narcotics, individuals often turn to heroin and cocaine use when the narcotic prescriptions become too expensive or unavailable. This is a big reason why prescription opioids are being taken very seriously, since they are often a gateway to more dangerous drugs.”
I
While dentists have a significant role in prescribing these medications, it’s important to remember that this is just one piece of a much larger picture. A 2014 article from Pain Research and Management indicated that only 4-8 percent of opioid prescribing came from dentists. However, dentists prescribe pain relievers at a higher rate than some other health care providers because of the nature of their treatment and the procedures they perform. To help address this growing issue, the American Dental Association (ADA) provides multiple resources for assisting dentists and patients. ADA is hosting free continuing education webinars on practicing safe opioid prescribing. Most states also have a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) to determine whether a patient may be “doctor shopping” based on their prescription history. For a preventative approach, dentists can guide patients to visit www.mouthhealthy.org/meds so they are aware of the dangers of using opioid pain medications for non-medical purposes. The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) Committee on Prescriber Practices, on which Dr. Funari serves as a consultant, has developed specific guidelines on the prescription of opioids for medical and dental specialties. In addition, the state is implementing a new PDMP. On the legislative front, Pennsylvania lawmakers are working on a bill that will require continuing education in opioid addiction. Rep. Kurt Masser and Sen. Gene Yaw introduced legislation, which would require professional licensees, in cluding dentists, to obtain initial training and continuing education in opioid treatment and addiction. A continuing collaboration of efforts from health care providers, legislators and patients’ families will be needed to curb opioid abuse.

Ford, PA). Following both the East and West Branch of this historic and scenic waterway, the 80-mile ride loops from Chadds Ford all the way to the creek’s headwaters in Honey Brook Township. The route will return to Chadds Ford along the West Branch of the creek, taking riders through iconic western Chester County vistas including the Conservancy’s King Ranch area (home of the famous Whip Tavern). The 40-mile route also follows both branches of the creek. From Chadds Ford, the route follows the East Branch to Downingtown where it crosses through the valley to reach the creek’s West Branch in Coatesville. The event takes place rain or shine, and the entry fee is $45. Registration is now open on -
line at www.brandywine.org/bikeride. The fee includes a Bike the Brandywine t-shirt. For information, call 610-388-2700. The BCG is a regional planning initiative that connects 25 municipalities in Chester and Delaware counties along both branches of the Brandywine to create a 30-mile conservation and recreation corridor. It stretches from the Delaware state line just south of Chadds Ford to the Pennsylvania Highlands Mega-Greenway near Honey Brook. The greenway designation highlights the diverse resources of the corridor, provides conservation ideas and encouragement to municipalities and private land owners alike, and builds healthier, more sustainable communities that contribute to the well-being of those who live, work, and visit there.

With the Joybells, before performing the National Anthem at Citizens Bank Park are, from left – Rita M. Gardner, President and CEO, Melmark, and Catie Parker, Joybells Assistant Director, and (on right) Sue Graves, Joybells Director, and (far right) Peter Troy, Vice President, Business Operations, Melmark. he Joybells of Melmark, a hand bell choir that comprises adults with disabilities, were honored to perform the National Anthem before the Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants baseball game on Thursday, August 4. Each member of The Joybells is diagnosed with an intellectual disability, and many of the performers have Down syndrome. They can’t read music, but they play beautifully. Choir members watch for hand cues, led by two professional music directors, as they use a variety of hand bells. The group has been performing since 1970, with appearances at The White House, with The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia at the Kimmel Center, the “TODAY” show, at the World Meeting of Families during the visit of Pope Francis last September, as well as festivals, schools and churches. The group was founded on the principles of spirituality and has the mission of showing the world that all people have talents and abilities. Joybells members attend programs at Berwyn-based Melmark, a non-profit organization serving children, adults and their families affected by a broad range of intellectual disabilities. Melmark provides evidence-based, educational, vocational, clinical, residential, healthcare and rehabilitative services, personally designed for each individual in an environment of warmth, care and respect. For more information about Melmark and The Joybells, visit www.melmark.org.
