The exhibition, located in the Museum’s 2nd floor community gallery, focuses on Philadelphia’s candy manufacturing history, tracing the magical transformation sugar takes from cane to candy. “Oh Sugar!” is curated by Ryan and Eric Berley, the brothers behind Old City’s beloved Franklin Fountain and Shane Confectionary. The exhibition will be on display until February 16, 2013 and is included with regular Museum admission. With more than 100 artifacts from the Berley’s collection of confectionery machinery, molds and ephemera, visitors will get a glimpse into the raw realities and sugar-coated past of Philadelphia’s connection to the sugar industry. The exhibition looks at the evolution of the sugar industry, from the beginning of our love of sugar in colonial America through today. Visitors can trace the trade routes that brought cane to the colonies and discover the early sugar refining techniques that were anything but sweet. Children can play candy maker in cap and apron within the context of an old-time candy kitchen. The exhibition is suitable for anyone with a sweet tooth, with information geared toward both young and young at heart. The exhibition concludes with a stop at vintage candy counter, complete with a working gumball machine so visitors can purchase a treat.

Shane Confectionery is the oldest continuously-run confectionery in the United States, established in 1863. The Shane family took over the business in 1911, installing elaborately carved woodwork, stained glass and curved windows to showcase the chocolates and confections made onsite. Ninetynine years later, in 2010, the business transitioned to the Berley Brothers who own the nearby Franklin Fountain and whom embarked on a meticulous restoration of the building and business. Candies continue to be made on-site, with an emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients, seasonal specialties and old-fashioned quality. Owned and operated by founding brothers Ryan and Eric Berley since 2004, The Franklin Fountain is an authentic recreation of an American ice cream parlor and soda fountain, circa 1915. Ice cream made on-premises is scooped and ser ved in cones, sundaes and floated upon ice cream sodas drawn from a 1904 bronze & onyx soda fountain. Hot fudge, caramel and other toppings are made using fresh, local ingredients. Soda jerks are dressed in period attire, serving customers an authentic early 1900s experience in a historic building with ornate tin ceilings, marble counters and mosaic penny tile floors. Located at Philadelphia’s Penn’s Landing Waterfront, Independence Seaport Museum is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.

The Philly POPS opens its 2013-14 season with the theme “Viva Philadelphia!� – a celebration of the City and of Philadelphia’s Italian spirit as well as a demonstration of the new music director Michael Krajewski’s special love for vocal music. t’s a new era for The Philly POPSŽ and a chance for audiences to share in the excitement of this first season under the baton of new music director Michael Krajewski. The Philly POPS opens its 2013-14 season with the theme “Viva Philadelphia!�—a celebration of the City and of Philadelphia’s Italian spirit as well as a demonstration of the maestro’s special love for vocal music. It’s a fitting theme, as the new maestro celebrates the City that will be another POPS home for this nationally recognized conductor. It’s also fitting as this first series of The POPS 35th season falls on Columbus weekend, a time of special significance in a city with a rich Italian heritage. With performances on Friday, October 11 through Sunday October 13, POPS concerts will continue to be presented in a series of Friday evenings at 8 p.m., followed by Saturday and Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. at Verizon Hall of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts on Avenue of the Arts in Philadelphia. Frank Giordano, President & CEO of The Philly POPS, is very excited about this new season for The POPS. “The Philly POPS is all about fun,� said The POPS’ enthusiastic leader. “From the moment our guests enter The Kimmel Center, we plan to have surprises right there in the lobby of this magnificent concert hall each time we have a performance. It’s just one of the many new features our audiences will come to love about going to a POPS concert.� Krajewski shares his own enthusiasm. “I am very proud to have been selected to follow the great Peter Nero in this post. The Philly POPS is one of the most outstanding POPS orchestras in the world and the welcome I have received from the members of the orchestra and all Philadelphians is overwhelming and very much appreciated.� In this concert, Krajewski shares the stage with such talents as one of Philadelphia’s own singing sensations, Eddie Bruce, the “Poperazzi� vocal trio and The POPS Festival Chorus. They will deliver tributes to one of Philadelphia’s legendary singers, the great Mario Lanza, as well as to Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and Andrea Bocelli. Instru mental arrangements from The Godfather will be on the program along with traditional favorites like Funiculi Funicula, plus a crowd-pleaser from the era of the “Hit Parade,� That’s Amore. Elton John’s rousing anthem Philadelphia Freedom will celebrate the region’s passionate sports fans.
I
The season reflects the creative instincts of Krajewski, who also leads successful series in Houston, Atlanta and Jacksonville, and is known for his excellent programming. “The Poperazzi trio is a great example of wonderful guest artists I’ve worked with in other cities, and I know Philadelphia audiences will embrace them too,� Krajewski shared. Poperazzi features the talents of tenors George DeMott and Cody Shawn Gay and soprano Janien Valentine. The trio has toured nationally and internationally, been featured on PBS, and played on the Las Vegas Strip with a signature blending of opera, classical music and pop-inspired energy. The direct Philadelphia connection in this program is guest artist Eddie Bruce who was born in South Philly, raised in Northeast Philly and now lives in Northern Liberties. Rarely has one of the great talents from our own city been showcased by The Philly POPS and audiences will take pride in this native son who has been praised by Michael Feinstein for his “great voice and stage presence.� One of the premier interpreters of Tony Bennett’s music in the country, he will perform the signature tunes of Mr. Bennett that he has performed from coast to coast—from LA to New York and with the Ocean City Pops and Hershey Pops. Audiences know Bruce well as he was the original host of the popular “Dancin’ on Air� TV show, a frequent guest talk show host for eight years on WWDBFM, a host of numerous Philadelphia celebrations including Mayor Nutter’s Mummers Parade Press Conferences and has been one of the city’s most popular bandleaders for years. The season continues with the annual Holiday POPS! series, followed by the Sounds of Simon and Garfunkel and then a salute to Marvin Hamlisch featuring Donna McKechnie who starred in “A Chorus Line.� It continues with the movie music of legendary John Williams and ends with the four original stars of Broadway’s “Jersey Boys� now known as the Midtown Men in the music of the 60’s. Season subscriptions and Holiday POPS! tickets are currently for sale for all the 2013/ 2014 Philly POPS season. All individual tickets will be available starting August 20. Performances take place in Verizon Hall at The Kimmel Center of the Performing Arts at 300 S Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19102. Tickets may be purchased at www.phillypops.org or by phone at 215-893-1999.

Cast members Scott Berkowitz of Havertown as Willy Wonka and Lauren Dietzler of Glenolden as Charlie Bucket prepare for the final Children’s Theater show of the summer at Upper Darby Summer Stage, “Willy Wonka, Jr.” A Summer Stage favorite, Roald Dahl’s timeless story returns with songs from the classic family film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” (Roald Dahl is played by Kevin Turnbull of Springfield). Willy Wonka (Scott Berkowitz of Havertown) stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Four of the five winning children are very unpleasant. The fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket (Lauren Dietzler of Glenolden) who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather, Grandpa Joe (JJ Vavrik of Wallingford). The children must learn to follow Mr. Wonka’s rules in the factory—or suffer the consequences. Family members of all ages will follow the Candy Man (Toney Goins of Lansdowne) on this adventure! The show is under the direction of Brian Dietzler a lifelong Summer Stager and educator. “Willy Wonka is a story about all of us reaching for our dreams and not giving up, reaching for our own golden tickets in life,” said Brian. “Our cast is very excited about introducing this wonderful story to a new generation that hasn’t seen it!” With an incredible musical score, splendid dancing, and a chocolate factory full of adventure, your entire family will love this Summer Stage classic!

The Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 Comes to Graeme Park, Horsham once been mistress. As the Smiths had left the city in haste, bringing nothing with them in the way of furniture and household goods, she remained with them during the course of the fever so that they could make use of her things, but by December of 1793 Elizabeth was preparing to make her move to Mrs. Todd’s boarding house in Hatboro and to leave the running of Graeme Park to the new owners. During the three months that the fever raged in Philadelphia, Elizabeth was in contact with her dear friend, Dr. Benjamin Rush, who employed controversial bleeding practices in an attempt to cure the afflicted of yellow fever. He sent her articles on the fever and debated with her his theories on the cause. Never one to be afraid to form or express her own opinions, she went so far as to send him proof that his theory that the fever was caused by “bad air” was wrong and that it was, in fact, brought in by refugees from the islands. On Sunday, August 25 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. Graeme Park will be presenting a Living History Theater program telling the story of how the yellow fever epidemic of 1793 affected the residents of Graeme Park and those in their social circle. These guided tours feature costumed actors throughout the house and will take place approximately every half hour. Tickets are $10 for adults 18+ and $5 for children and teens 6-17; light refreshments are included in the cost of the ticket.
n the summer and fall of 1793 the residents of Philadelphia were in the gripes of a panic, precipitated by a malady whose origins they didn’t understand. Not only did they not know where this fever, the symptoms of which included yellowing of the eyes and skin, came from, they didn’t know how to avoid it. All they knew was that their friends and neighbors were getting sick and dying. Even if they had known how to help, they didn’t want to risk their own health. Homes of the victims were marked by flags, and those who were healthy, and had the means to do so, fled to the country. There was one problem with trying to escape the disease-ridden city however: not wanting legions of potentially infected refugees roaming the countryside, travelers were stopped by guards and turned back unless they could prove they had somewhere to go. Fortunately for Elizabeth Graeme’s nephew-in-law, Dr. William Smith, and his second wife, Letitia, they had purchased Graeme Park in 1791 and it was to their new estate in Horsham that they were able to escape during the summer of 1793. Elizabeth had remained in residence at Graeme Park after the Smiths’ purchase and was happy to do so as long as they remained in their city home. Once they removed to Graeme Park, however, despite the Smiths’ assertions that she was welcome to stay, Elizabeth was not comfortable with the role of guest in the home of which she had

When is It Time for Cataract Surgery? The Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology Offers Tips for Cataract Detection and Treatment lmost everyone who lives a long life will develop cataracts at some point. August is Cataract Awareness Month, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology (PAO) is encouraging seniors and their caregivers to understand cataract risks, symptoms, and prevention tips, as well as how to decide when it is time for cataract surgery so good vision can be restored. Cataracts are the most common causes of vision loss. In fact, by age 75, about 70 percent of people have cataracts. However, cataracts typically develop slowly, so symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Over time, cataracts can cause vision to become blurry, cloudy dim, or dull—not unlike looking through a dirty car windshield. These symptoms may interfere with daily activities. The good news is that cataracts are treatable with cataract surgery. “Cataract surgery is a very common procedure with great success rates,” says Roger Zelt, MD, PAO President. “As an ophthalmologist, it’s always a pleasure to help our patients see better, so we encourage cataract patients to talk with their ophthalmologist about cataract surgery options.” A few simple tips will help you maintain healthy vision and make the right choices if you develop a cataract. Get a baseline exam if you’re over 40. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease get a baseline eye exam at age 40—the time when early signs of disease and vision changes may start to occur.

During this visit, your ophthalmologist will advise you on how often to have follow-up exams. People of any age with symptoms or risks for eye disease, such as a family history, should see their Eye M.D. to determine a care and follow-up plan. Know your risk factors. Having a family history of cataract, having diabetes, and being a smoker can increase your risk of developing a cataract. Additionally, extensive exposure to sunlight, serious eye injury or inflammation and prolonged use of steroids, can increase your risk of developing a cataract. Reduce your risks to prevent or delay the onset of cataracts. Use UV-blocking sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats when spending time outdoors to protect your eyes from UV damage. Don’t smoke. People with diabetes can reduce cataract risk by carefully controlling their blood sugar through diet, exercise and medications if needed. After age 65, schedule regular eye exams. Anyone age 65 and older should be seeing an ophthalmologist regularly in order to detect any eye diseases or conditions early, and to monitor any vision loss. Seniors age 65 and older may qualify for an eye exam and up to 1 year of care at no out-of-pocket cost through EyeCare America, a public service program of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. See if you qualify at www.eyecareamerica.org. Know your options for cataract surgery. Each person may have different considerations when weighing his or her options about cataract surgery. Symptoms such as glare, halos, blurriness, dimmed colors or other cataract-related vision problems can make daily activities like driving and reading difficult or impossible. Talk to your ophthalmologist about surgery options. Talk to your Eye M.D. When preparing for surgery, you will need to give your doctor your complete medical and eye health history, including whether you are taking or have taken Flomax®, Hytrin®, Uroxatral® or Cadura®. These medications can cause the iris to move out of its normal position, which can lead to complications during cataract surgery. You can still have successful surgery if your surgeon knows you have taken these drugs and adjusts his or her surgical technique. If you have had LASIK or other laser refractive surgery, it’s important to provide your pre-surgery vision-correction prescription to your Eye M.D., if possible. (The record of this prescription is also called the “K card.”) For information on eye health, cataract and surgery options, visit www.geteyesmart.org. Find an Eye M.D. in your area by visiting www.paeyemds.org. The Pennsylvania Academy of Ophthalmology has been working to preserve and protect vision and eye health for Pennsylvania’s citizens since 1943. With member physicians throughout the Commonwealth, the PAO strives to be the voice of ophthalmology, making efforts to ensure quality eye care on the legislative and regulatory fronts, while building and maintaining relationships with major insurance carriers within the state.

Proceeds from “Heroes Among Us” will benefit the Survivor’s Fund, an independent organization established by the Fraternal Order of Police to provide financial assistance and support to the families of Philadelphia police officers who have been injured or killed in the line of duty. “There is no greater loss than losing a loved one and the thought of these police officers’ families living without their loved ones is heartbreaking; we should never forget what they have sacrificed for us! Every day the police officers of Philadelphia risk their lives to keep you, me, and the community safe,” said Ben Baskin, Event Founder and General Manager of the Pyramid Club. For info about sponsorship opportunities or to purchase tickets, contact Ben Baskin at ben.baskin@ourclub.com or 215-969-3137. Event details can be found at http://tinyurl.com/philaheroes or by following the event on Twitter #HeroesAmongUs2013. The Fraternal Order of Police Survivor’s Fundis a non-profit organization in Philadelphia run by Lodge #5 of the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police. Money raised by the organization provides financial assistance and support to the families of Philadelphia police officers who have been injured or killed in the line of duty. Since 1828, more than 260 Philadelphia Police Officers have given their lives while protecting ours. The FOP Survivors Fund was established to not only to remember the sacrifice of each officer, but also to acknowledge the sacrifice made by each of the surviving families.

“Hollywood in the Amazon” – New Exhibition for the University of Pennsylvania’s Year of Sound Opens at the Penn Museum August 18, 2013 he world’s first sound-synced expeditionary film, shot during a 1931 Penn Museum expedition to a remote Amazonian jungle, forms the centerpiece of “Hollywood in the Amazon,” a special exhibition developed as part of the University of Pennsylvania’s 201314 Year of Sound. The exhibition runs August 18, 2013 through July 27, 2014 in the Penn Museum’s third floor Special Exhibitions gallery. In 1931, an expedition from the Penn Museum introduced a revolutionary new research method in the remote Amazonian jungles of Brazil. Transporting state-of-the-art equipment by sea, air, and river, the team arrived in territory occupied by the Bororo people and recorded an expeditionary film, “Matto Grosso, the Great Brazilian Wilderness,” incorporating live sound. It Director Floyd Crosby, father of musician David Crosby, and sound technician Ainslee Davis record a scene with Bororo people from the village for the film “Matto Grosso, the Great was the first time non-Western Brazilian Wilderness.” Image courtesy of the Penn Museum Archives (25660). people were seen and heard on sound-synced film. A collaboration between Academy award-winning cinematographer Floyd Crosby (father of musician David Crosby), wealthy industrialist E. R. Fenimore Johnson (whose father founded Victor Talking Machine Company), big game hunter Sasha Siemel, and Penn Museum anthropologist Vincenzo Petrullo, the groundbreaking film is presented in its 49-minute entirety. The small gallery exhibition tells the colorful story of the remote expedition, fraught with physical trials for anthropologists and filmmakers alike. Several artifacts from the Bororo people, collected during the expedition, enrich the story. Translations of the Bororo speakers, obtained from Bororo people in 2011, provide another aspect to the tale. About the Film and the Museum’s Archival Film Collection: The 1931 film “Matto Grosso, the Great Brazilian Wilderness” was originally intended to provide a new kind of record of people, flora, and fauna. “As with many early attempts at documentary films, the end result is more of a mirror reflection of the people making the film,” noted Penn Museum film archivist Kate Pourshariati, adding “some of the quaint narrative devices employed are rightly viewed with skepticism.” After some early theatrical screenings, the film was relegated to relative obscurity in the Archives until 2008 when, under a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation, the film and its sound were restored. The Museum plans a DVD release of the film for wider distribution. “Matto Grosso, the Great Brazilian Wilderness” is one of many archival films in the Museum’s collection, which includes hundreds of ethnographic, travel and other films and clips. Thanks to a collaboration with the Internet Archive, the majority of the Museum’s rare and often fragile early archival footage, once largely inaccessible, was digitized in 2008, and makes up much of the Penn Museum’s popular YouTube channel, which surpassed a million video views in May 2013. Ms. Pourshariati also curates an occasional Penn Museum film series, Live from the Archives!, as well as an annual Second Sunday Culture Film Series—bringing audiences and experts together to watch and share conversations about old and contemporary ethnographic films. While working on the film restoration project, Ms. Pourshariati, with help from Penn Museum Consulting Scholar Greg Urban, was able to connect with Brazilian anthropologist Dr. Sylvia Caiuby Novaes, and through her, to Bororo people today. They watched (and apparently enjoyed) the film, in one case providing an actual name of one now-deceased Bororo shaman, and providing translations of the Bororo dialogue. These translations can be used as optionA Bororo boy holds a camera slate with the al English subtitles in the Museum’s plantitle of scene to be filmed in the making of ned new DVD release of the film. “Matto Grosso, the Great Brazilian Speaking to the value of this archival film Wilderness.” Image courtesy of the Penn and others, Ms. Pourshariati said, “The age Museum Archives (27414). of large individually sponsored expeditions has come to an end, and even very remote parts of the world have been traveled. Filmmakers from international source communities now produce their own documentaries, giving essential indigenous perspectives to the expanding universe of knowledge. “Still, these early films have great value. In museums and archives, we are now arriving at a quite thrilling time in which the generations of collected materials can be shared back with these source communities, offering inside perspectives on materials long hidden from view.” The Penn Museum is located at 3260 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 (on Penn’s campus, across from Franklin Field).

Friends of the American Cancer Society in Philadelphia Plan 13th Annual Party with a Purpose Richard H. Rothman, M.D., Ph.D., Founder of Rothman Institute to be Honored with 2013 Humanitarian Award ore than 500 guests are expected to support the 13th annual Friends of the American Cancer Society Party with a Purpose, an annual gala event featuring fine food, cocktails, entertainment, an elegant dinner, raffles and an impressive live and silent auction. The event will be held at The Westin Philadelphia on Sunday, October 20, 2013 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Auction items will include fine jewelry, restaurant gift certificates, sports memorabilia and tickets and much more! The Friends of the American Cancer Society are privileged to be honoring Richard H. Rothman, M.D., Ph.D., founder of Rothman Institute and the James Edwards Professor of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University as the recipient of the Humanitarian Award. This award, one of the highest and most prestigious honors given by the American Cancer Society, recognizes his long standing commitment to excellence in medicine. The proceeds from the 13th annual Party with a Purpose will support the American Cancer Society’s mission of creating a world with less cancer and more birthdays by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against this terrible disease. 2013 specifically will raise awareness for Sarcoma. These devastating cancers arise primarily from the tissues making up the extremities, including cancers of the bone, muscle, fat, nerves, and blood vessels. Being rare, these extremity tumors require complex medical and orthopedic surgical treatment at Sarcoma Centers such as the Rothman Institute’s Musculoskeletal Oncology Center. In total, these types of cancer affect approximately 14,500 people annually. Responding primarily to surgical excision, these tumors are often very difficult to treat, making research into development of new treatments desperately needed. The Friends of the American Cancer Society, formerly known as the Hylda Cohn/Kain Moses Group, was formed in Philadelphia in 2000 with a small group of dedicated volunteers. Today, the committee has grown tremendously to include more than 50 members across the Philadelphia region. Over the last 12 years, Party with a Purpose has raised more than $4.5 million to fight back against cancer thanks to a number of generous local businesses and individuals. For more information, visit friendsofacs.org or contact Carly Chizik of the American Cancer Society at 215-985-5350 or carly.chizik@ cancer.org. For information on American Cancer Society, to get help, or to join the fight, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-2272345 or visit cancer.org.

Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital’s Cruisin’ Not Boozin’® Program Honored with Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Quality of Life Grant ryn Mawr Rehab Hospital’s Cruisin’ Not Boozin’® (CNB) injury prevention program was awarded a $5,000 Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Quality of Life Grant. The grant, awarded to programs that enable people with disabilities to live independent and active lives, will help offset the cost of the CNB program, which is offered at hundreds of schools throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware each year. CNB currently has 9 speakers who share their personal stories of survival and living with a permanent disability. Each was involved in an automobile accident caused by impaired or distracted driving and they speak about the very real consequences. “We’ve had students come up to the speaker and actually say this was the best program we ever had and you’ve made such a big difference to me. And that’s what makes it especially important for me as a volunteer it’s that kids seem to get it,” said Linda Heiberger, CNB Volunteer. Having this grant to support and offset expenses will enable CNB to continue taking the speakers to schools in the region where they can reach more students with this message. “It is the Reeve Foundation’s esteemed pleasure to award Quality of Life grants that will help the paralysis community enhance their freedom and independence,” said Niketa Sheth, Senior Vice President of Quality of Life of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. “We are thrilled to be able to align with organizations that believe in our mission and especially proud of this grant cycle’s reach and depth to fund multicultural programs, women’s initiatives, and support for care-givers and loved ones of injured service men and women.” The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Quality of Life

We Treat Your Family Like Our Own
he Philadelphia Bar Association will offer free legal advice to residents of Philadelphia and the surrounding counties on Wednesday, August 21, between 5 and 8 p.m. Members of the public can access the service by calling the Association’s LegalLine P.M. hotline at 215-238-6333. Area residents seeking confidential legal advice will be able to speak for free with a volunteer attorney from the Philadelphia Bar Association. Attorneys are available to offer information about any aspect of the law including family law, landlord-tenant, workers’ compensation and employment law, among other topics. LegalLine P.M. is a public service sponsored by the Young Lawyers Division of the Philadelphia Bar Association, providing residents with free, quick and accurate legal advice during convenient evening hours. LegalLine P.M. is offered on the third Wednesday of every month from 5 to 8 p.m. The program has existed for nearly 20 years, allowing volunteer attorneys to help thousands of callers through direct service or by referring them to an appropriate source. In addition, during regular work hours, the Philadelphia Bar Association offers another program – the Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) – which provides lawyer referrals to area residents. Staff attorneys take calls from the general public and refer callers to attorneys in private practice for a 30-minute consultation, for which the attorney agrees to charge a drastically reduced fee of $30. If callers do not need an attorney or cannot afford one, they will be directed to a legal service organization, agency or other resource for assistance. LRIS is available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., by calling 215-238-6333. Founded in 1802, the 13,000-member Philadelphia Bar Association is the oldest association of lawyers in the United States.
