“Angel Street” Heads Season Line-Up at The Stagecrafters classic Hitchcock film of the same name. The present play premiered in London’s West End in 1938 under the title “Gaslight,” and enjoyed a sixmonth run; it opened in 1941 on Broadway, as “Angel Street,” featuring Vincent Price as Mr. Manningham and running three years for a total just shy of 1300 performances! The play was adapted for film twice (as “Gaslight”): in Britain (1940); and in the United States (1944) with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman (who won the Oscar for Best Actress). Over the decades, there have been a good number of revivals in London, New York, and elsewhere.

Coming to Berwyn and Glenside – Offers Practical Solution to Climate Change acing the Surge,” a 30-minute documentary, will be shown on Sunday, October 2, 2 p.m. at Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA and Monday, October 3, 7 p.m., at Stiteler Hall, Arcadia University, Glenside, PA. It shows how rising sea levels are already flooding parts of the mid-Atlantic, and discusses an innovative, little-known solution for staving off climate catastrophe.

The lead filmmaker, Diogo Castro Freire, will travel with the film this fall for an East Coast screening tour, from Maine to Florida, to raise awareness about the immediate impacts of sea level rise, and calls it what it is: a direct result of climate change.

Audiences will learn about the struggles of Norfolk, VA as it deals with massive flooding events. But Norfolk is just one place of many where catastrophic flooding events are taking place, often without warning. “I tell people that Norfolk is the ‘canary in the coal mine,’ said one volunteer who helped facilitate one New England screening. “We need to understand that promoting solutions now will help us in the future. If we act today we can avoid having our lives disrupted by the catastrophic flooding that sea level rise can bring.”

These events will not only include a look at issues specific to our region but also offer a discussion of climate change solutions, specifically the details of a plan called carbon fee & dividend. Pricing carbon is at the center of the plan. To learn more: www.citizensclimatelobby.org.

To view the trailer or for information about the film visit www.adaptationnow.com. These events are free, but space is limited. To secure your spot, visit www.cclusa.org/register. This tour began in New England on September 9 and ends in the Southeast on November 22.

Fine, who grew up in Lower Merion and attended Lower Merion High School, is a graduate of Yale University and Duke University School of Law. Appropriately she has been a patron of the Bala Cynwyd Library since she was a child.

Fine points out that Pennsylvania has the largest number of individuals now serving life without parole sentences that were imposed when they were children, of any state in the country—meaning the world, since the U.S. is the only country that imposes life without parole on children. Kids as young as 10 can be prosecuted as adults, and can face time in adult jails and prisons. Of the 2,000 “juvenile lifers” nationwide, 500 were sentenced in Pennsylvania, and 300 in Philadelphia.

The US Supreme Court recently declared mandatory life without parole sentences unconstitutional as applied to children, so these individuals will all be resentenced.

The website for YSRP is ysrp.org. Fine’s TEDx talk can be seen at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=eEni3XatowY. Fine’s talk will be held on Monday, September 26 at 7:30 at the Bala Cynwyd Library, 131 Old Lancaster Road. Admission is free. For information, call 610-664-1196.

O U T S TA N D I N G I N H E R F I E L D : F A R M D I N N E R HONORING ESTHER MCMANUS Continued from front page

tion and tickets go to Eventbrite, http://bit.ly/tixlesdamesphl.

Philadelphia has a storied culinary history, and professional women have been integral to the development of restaurants, catering companies, farms and food production since the city was founded. In order to honor this heritage, Les Dames d’Escoffier Philadelphia has developed “Outstanding In Her Field,” an annual awards dinner to recognize a Philadelphia-area woman for her accomplishments in the food, beverage or hospitality industry.

LDEI Philadelphia is thrilled with their choice of McManus, who came to Philadelphia in 1972. The chef, baker and teacher extraordinaire was born in Marrakesh and has lived on four continents. After an adventurous early life in Morocco, France, Italy, Israel and the United States, she took up cooking and became chef at notable Philadelphia restaurants including The Garden, The Yacht Club, DiLullo’s and Le Bus, where she helped make a small restaurant and the idea of artisan bread into a culinary empire. According to many in the local food scene, McManus is the mother of the artisan bread movement in Philadelphia.

McManus is now a beloved chef-instructor at the Restaurant School where she shares her generous and inspiring passion – and flawless techniques – with her lucky culinary students who are known to universally adore her. Her culinary motto “Je seme a tous vents” – “I have to give somebody some food” – is taken from the gastronome Larousse.

“Outstanding in Her Field” promises to not only honor McManus and raise funds for LDEI Educational, Scholarship, and Green Tables initiatives, it will also shine a light on the many talented local women working in the culinary, hospitality, farming, beverage and educational fields. And of course, it will be a lot of fun savoring what the Dames enjoy most, “Je seme a tous vents.”

Food for the event will be created by the talented chef-members of LDEI Philadelphia and friends of McManus’s in the culinary world, including Lynn Buono, owner of Feast Your Eyes Catering, and Garces Events. Several celebrity chefs from around the country have been invited and will be confirmed closer to the event.

Les Dames d’Escoffier is a worldwide philanthropic society of professional women in the fields of food, fine beverage and hospitality. The invitation-only membership, composed of 36 individual chapters across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Mexico, is highly diversified and reflects the multifaceted fields of contemporary gastronomy and hospitality. Members are committed to the advancement of education and philanthropy in food, beverage and hospitality for the good of the global community.

The Philadelphia Chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier was created in 1984 and is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local women and their endeavors in the food, beverage, farm and hospitality industries. In addition to mentoring members, the Philadelphia chapter provides scholarships for women in culinary-related educational programs, from high-school through continuing and professional education. For information, go to www.ldei.org.

The Philadelphia Chapter of LDEI offers scholarships to women pursuing careers in culinary arts, hospitality, fine beverage and agriculture. Scholarships are awarded annually to women of all ages who are enrolled in accredited programs in the Philadelphia region. For information and to apply, go to http://www.lesdamesphilly.org/scholarships/.

Kathleen Kotchick Takes the Lead at Independent, Bilingual and Multicultural School he French International School of Philadelphia begins the 2016-2017 academic year with a new Head, Kathleen Kotchick, a long-time administrator at the school. Kotchick served as Interim Co-Head alongside Catherine Kosman during the 2015-2016 school year.

The French International School of Philadelphia is a not-forprofit, independent school offering bilingual instruction in French and English to a multicultural community of prekindergarten through eighth grade students. The Board of Direc tors selected and ap proved Kotchick for the Head of School position. In a letter to the school community, Board Chair Deborah R. Willig said, “Both the Search Committee and the Board very strongly believe that Kotchick is the right person to lead the French International School in the next chapter of its history.”

Though new to the position of Head of School, Kotchick is well known by students and parents alike. On the first day of school, she welcomed grinning students by name, alternating between “Hello” and Kathleen Kotchick, a long-time administrator at The French International School of Philadelphia, begins the 2016-2017 “Bonjour.” In her own message academic year as Head of School. following Willig’s announcement, Kotchick expressed her gratitude to the Board for “…the confidence they have placed in me,” and said that her primary focus as Head of School would be to “maintain the integrity of the mission of the school.”

September marks the beginning of Kotchick’s 22nd year at the French International School.

She began her tenure as an English teacher and later joined the school’s administration. Her other roles at the school have included English Program Coordinator, Director of Parent Relations, and Assistant Head of School, a position she held for five years.

The Scranton, PA, native began her career in Baltimore, MD, where she was a teacher, technology coordinator, and in-service trainer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Loyola University.

In addition to welcoming a new Head of School, the French International School of Philadelphia celebrates its 25th anniversary. The school first opened its doors in September 1991, in a leased wing of the Baldwin School and counted just 13 students from prekindergarten to second grade. Twenty-five years and more than 300 students later, the school owns two campuses—one for children from pre-K to fourth grade adjacent to the Bala Cynwyd Library for children, and one on City Avenue which houses the Upper School. Students and teachers have already started commemorating the school’s anniversary with classroom activities based on the number 25. A 25th Anniversary Gala will be held on March 25, 2017 at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia.

The French International School of Philadelphia is an independent prekindergarten through eighth grade school offering a bilingual curriculum in French and in English. Accredited by both the French Ministry of Education and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the school expects its students to become global citizens with a deeper understanding of and appreciation for other cultures.

schools in this area where you can get a great education, but I doubt the camaraderie is as tightly knit as it is here. Not everyone is cut out for this school, this community. When I came to Haverford my sophomore year, I wasn’t sure what would become of me as a young man,” said Scott. “I’m 18 years old now, and I have never grown more in two years than in the last two years. I am so happy with who I am. It’s far surpassed contentment; at this point, I wake up every morning proud to be Evan Scott. All of you here deserve to feel the same way. If that is the only thing I accomplish in the next year as your president, I’ll be happy. If, somehow, I can help all of you love yourselves, be proud of your own selves, I’ll be happy. And that there, that feeling of self-love, beyond self-acceptance, is what will make us a true brotherhood.”

EDUCATION NEWS

“Connections Beyond Our Garden – Talks on People, Plants and Place” Returns this October orris Arboretum presents “Connections Beyond Our Gardens – Talks on People, Plants and Place.” Back by popular demand for its seventh year, ‘Connections’ will feature three lectures by speakers who depict the fascinating connections between people and the natural world.

The lecture series kicks off on Wednesday, October 5 at 2 p.m. with nationally recognized artist, Diane Burko, presenting “The Intersection of Art & the Environment.” For 40 years, Burko, has been painting and photographing dramatic landscapes from the ground and from the air, including the Grand Canyon, volcanoes, the Wissahickon, and now glaciers. Her current work reflects expeditions to the three largest ice fields in the world found in Greenland, Antarctica and Patagonia.

Burko has evolved from an artist who created images about the beauty of the earth, to someone who uses her art to help us understand that our resources are not unlimited, and our planet requires as much nurturing from us as we do from it.

Her widely exhibited works can be found in numerous public and private collections across the country.

For your next connection, meet New York Times bestselling author Andrea Wulf, on Wednesday, November 9 at 2 p.m. for her talk, “The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World.” This lecture is being presented in partnership with the Ambler Theater, and will be held at Ambler Theatre at 108 East Butler Avenue, Ambler, PA. In her latest book published in late 2015, Andrea Wulf brings the story of Alexander von Humboldt back to life, taking us on a fantastic and challenging voyage in his footsteps. Wulf explores Humboldt’s ideas and how they go on to revolutionize science, conservation and preservation, nature writing, politics, art and the theory of evolution. In 1800, Humboldt recognized the impact of human induced climate change. Wulf reintroduces us to a lost hero of science and the forgotten father of environmentalism, showing us why understanding Morris Arboretum presents “Connections Beyond Our his vision of the world has become increasingly important Gardens – Talks on People, Plants and Place.” The lecture today. “The Invention of Nature” won the 2015 Costa Biography series kicks off on Wednesday, October 5 at 2 p.m. with Award, the 2016 LA Times Book Prize for Science & Technationally recognized artist, Diane Burko, presenting “The nology, and was selected as one of the New York Times “10 Best Intersection of Art & the Environment.” Photo/Courtesy, Books of 2015.”

Diane Burko The “Connections Beyond Our Garden” lecture series concludes on Wednesday, December 7 at 2 p.m. with Derrick Pitts, Hon.D Chief Astronomer, Franklin Institute, with “The Greening of Space: Trees on Other Planets?” Pitts tackles what we really know about the universe, what we think we know, and what questions astronomers most want to answer. In his talk, Pitts explores whether there's actually a chance that after hundreds of light years of travel in the most spartan of accommodations, we could arrive at a very familiar place; trees, grass, lakes, streams and oxygen!

Derrick Pitts is currently the Chief Astronomer and Director of the Fels Planetarium at The Franklin Institute. He appears regularly in the national media as a science content expert. For more than two decades, he has also hosted award-winning astronomy radio programs for Philadelphia’s two public radio stations and created signature astronomy television programming for PBS. His motto is “Eat, breathe, do science. Sleep later.”

Lectures are supported in part by the Klein Lecture Endowment given in memory of Dr. William M. Klein who served from 1977-1990 as the Arboretum’s first full-time director, the Laura L. Barnes Lecture Endowment of The Philadelphia Foundation, given in memory of Laura Barnes by students and alumni of her school of horticulture, and the Byron Lukens Lecture Endowment, given in memory of educator and Arboretum volunteer, Byron Lukens and his wife Elizabeth.

The “Connections Beyond Our Garden” October and December lectures are held at Morris Arboretum’s Widener Visitor Center at 2 p.m.; November’s lecture is held at Ambler Theater. The cost for each lecture is $15 for Arboretum members and $20 for non-members, which includes admission to the garden. Advanced registration and payment are required. Call 215-247-5777, ext. 125 or education@morrisarboretum.org to make your reservation. The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania is located at 100 East Northwestern Avenue in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. For information, visit www.morrisarboretum.org.

njoy a fascinating presentation by bat expert Sarah Bouboulis on Thursday, September 29 at 6:30 p.m., entitled “Bat Conservation: Why It Matters and What You Can Do.” This free program is presented by the Brandywine Conservancy and will take place outside and in the lecture room of the Brandywine River Museum of Art on Route 1 in Chadds Ford, PA. The event will begin outdoors, as Bouboulis demonstrates echolocation, the method bats use to navigate. Inside, she will talk about the important ecological role bats play as pollinators and in mosquito and insect control. Bouboulis will also discuss bat conservation efforts and what individuals can do on their own properties to help support the native bat population, which is unfortunately threatened by the deadly fungal disease, white-nose syndrome and other factors.

Sarah Bouboulis studied bats with white-nose syndrome for her master's degree from Bucknell University. She has worked for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and US Fish and Wildlife Service on bat and other wildlife projects. She currently works for the Partnership for the Delaware Estuary on habitat restoration.

Reservations are requested for this free event. Register online at www.brandywine.org/conservancy/events or send an email to conservancy@brandywine.org.

The Brandywine Conservancy protects water, preserves land, and engages communities, using a multi-faceted approach to conservation. The conservancy works with private landowners who wish to see their lands protected forever, and provides innovative community planning services to municipalities and other governmental agencies. The conservancy currently holds 469 conservation and agricultural easements and has facilitated the permanent preservation of more than 62,000 acres of land.

Join in the “Senior Strut” Health Event on October 14 he Senior Strut: A Health Event in the Park,” will take place on Friday, October 14, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

Following a musical send-off by a Mummer’s String Band, seniors will walk for health and enjoyment in a one-mile loop down scenic Boathouse Row, Kelly Drive that day.

After the walk, participants will return to their starting point at Lloyd Hall for a health and information fair with free health screenings; flu shots will be available. Participants also will enjoy fitness and entertainment activities led from a demonstration stage and receive free t-shirts and a healthy snack.

The Senior Strut features special appearances by Harold Carmichael, former Eagles great all-pro wide receiver, and DJ Patty Pat. Tickets are $5 each and should be purchased

by Sept. 30. The Senior Strut, now in its fourth year, is presented by the Fairmount Park Conservancy, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation.

Health experts say that walking increases blood flow to the heart, lungs and brain and that it can improve mood and lower stress. Research also shows that walking may help to cut rates of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. “Most of all walking is free and it’s fun. Everybody can do it!” says Holly Lange, PCA president and CEO. “We are thrilled to be partnering on the Senior Strut,” says Kathryn Ott Lovell, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation commissioner. “A key component of our mission is to activate our parks with positive programming. This event is a great example of people enjoying our parks while exercising and getting connected to important health-related resources in the community.”

Major sponsorship for the event is provided by Always Best Care Senior Services; Bath Fitter; Bayada Home Health Care, Inc.; Gateway Health Plan; Health Partners Plans; Independence Blue Cross; Liberty Resources, Inc.; My Independence at Home; Moravia Health; Open Systems Healthcare; the Pennsylvania Lottery; and SarahCare Home Health & Hospice.
