Central Bucks School Board voted unanimously Tuesday to hire from within, naming David Weitzel acting superintendent.

The board had announced the appointment, effective July 23, last week on its web site and via a press release.

Weitzel, the district’s assistant superintendent for elementary education since 2006, replaces Rodney Green, whose separation from the district occurred after only nine months on the job. Green was hired after an extensive nationwide search, which did not include in-house candidates.

School Board President Stephen Corr said the school directors decided to hire from within this time for two main reasons.

“First, over this last year we realized that we have excellent professionals working in Central Bucks who share the values of the board and community when it comes to education,” he said.

“Second, the board believes Dr. Weitzel has the character to refocus the district onto the educational mission of the district and to lead the district into the future.”

Corr said it is likely the job will become more permanent within the next few months, with Weitzel becoming superintendent, rather than acting superintendent.

“We hope that will happen,” Corr said. He said the board plans to evaluate and talk with Weitzel while he is on the job and come to a mutual decision. A new contract and salary would be part of those talks.

Weitzel said he didn’t hesitate when asked to lead the district, “mainly because of the turmoil

The New Hope-Solebury School Board had a heated discussion about gender policies at the July 15 meeting.

One issue involved the addition of four words, “gender identity or expression,” to three policies, 103, 104 and 248. The first and second define a practice of non-discrimination in school and classroom practices and employment, and the third is the harassment policy.

The objection, first raised by Jonathan Adar, was aimed at the process through which the change was brought to the agenda, rather than the content. He said the change was “fast tracked” and he wanted an explanation.

Board President and Policy Committee Chair Amanda Elefante said she had been approached by New Hope Borough Council member Geraldine Delevich to add the words to the policies, thereby raising New Hope’s score on a quality of life survey for the area.

Delevich had approached the School Board a year ago with a similar request but it had gone unheeded so she tried again.

Elefante explained that she had called a special meeting of the policy committee before the board meeting, at which a full quorum of members was present, to follow necessary protocol for the agenda addition as defined by the Sunshine Law. Since no objections were voiced, the committee brought the change to the board. Vice President Marlene Continued on page A8

FYI on GMOs Years ago, I had a desk calendar that featured borders stocked with Earth-smart information. One month’s feature was GMOs. GMO wasn’t a common term in

2002. Most people had never heard the phrase but my interest was piqued so I did some research and it was fascinating. Now, nearly 11 years later, GMO is a term even lit-

tle children know.

GMO stands for genetically modified organism. That name describes exactly what it is – an organism that has been modified genetically. That is to say that the DNA of something has been altered via science, usually in the name of profit.

Let’s take corn, for example.

Today, one single chemical company’s genetically modified corn genes are found in 80 percent of the world’s corn seed. Yes – 80, yes – world’s, yes – chemical company.

Odd, I agree but that company made the pesticide that killed the weeds that commonly hampered farmers’ corn yields.

Then, that company discovered the weeds were becoming immune to the pesticide but it was killing the corn. An accident? Hmm. So, the company just happened to be able to develop a genetically modified corn seed that can resist the pesticide. Then, they won copyright protection for that seed. Now, they suspect the weeds are growing resistant to the pesticide. Oy. So, basically, chemical food makers have launched major profits for themselves and a real-life version of “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly� for the

world. Still, our lawmakers, hired to protect us, protect them instead, and why not? Three labs alone have a current combined market value of $100 billion (let’s not forget, like all profits, each of those dollars came from somewhere or someone else).

Due to pervasive use of pesticide, and the fact that GMO seeds are contaminating non-GMO seed fields, farmers who resisted them have difficulty growing any clean crops. In fact, hundreds of varieties of corn are going extinct around the worlds (does anyone remember the potato famine?) but small farmers are crushed when they try to sue.

No power to the people, food engineering spreads like the disease that it is, as commercial food producers lobby extensively and work to invent and copyright more lab created foods. They can Frankenstein anything they want; sweeter pineapples, easy-peel peaches, crops that need less sunlight, grow faster, give more yield ‌ whatever. Just some of what they already engineer for are crops that, on their own, fight bugs, disease, excessive heat, and require less irrigation ‌ sounds yummy ‌ and, of course, resist that certain pesticide.

Laws on labeling favor corporations and ignore consumers’ welfare. It’s important that we know which food came out of a test tube if we are putting it into our children’s bodies and ours, especially if we are pregnant. Food interference has been linked to birth defects, reproductive issues, cancer, endocrine disruption, Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes. It is also, now, suspected to be a cause of the rapid rise in the rate of autism.

We already know, for certain,

that the pollen from that pesticideresistant corn kills the caterpillars that become Monarch butterflies.

That is horrific in itself but it’s also a warning for all forms of nature, including humans. These are only the initial bits of information we have on the harmful side effects of these test tube foods, commonly referred to as Frankenfoods.

Producers of GMOs claim their foods represent no risks to anyone’s health. Yet, they lobbied hard for legislation absolving them of all responsibility for any health problems resulting from GMOs or crops grown with their pesticides.

Their huge investments in these laws show clearly that, either, the chemical food corporations already know that these foods are unhealthy or, that the chemical food corporations aren’t really confident that these foods are safe.

They also lobbied against legislation requiring them to label their foods as GMOs, spending $40 million in the California fight alone and, though a few states do require GMOs to be labeled as such, the federal government legislated in the corporate favor. That fact makes perfect sense, if one understands what corporate lobbying really is.

We also should know that a small group of corporate moguls was able to set up a private meeting with some very influential officials in the United Kingdom. They successfully recruited their support to legally hawk GMOs abroad. No opposing parties were allowed at, or even informed of, the meeting.

Where’s Wonderland’s red queen when we need her?

As the madness spreads, we’d best remember the old slogan, “You are what you eat.â€? And, I haven’t even mentioned corn syrup ‌ yet.

Doylestown supervisors ponder social media avenues Dana M. Eckman Nearly nine months ago, Superstorm Sandy sequestered much of the region to dark and disconnected homes, but for some towns, information lifelines came in a deluge of Twitter and Facebook updates.

And now Doylestown Township officials are exploring new ways to communicate with residents the next time the lights go out or a road is closed.

The supervisors, at their July 16 meeting, began discussing the idea of creating an official social media page, like Facebook, for the township after Superstorm Sandy knocked out power in the area last year. The board revisited the topic during last Tuesday night's meeting.

"There is a huge population of people who get information this way and e-mail is passé particularly to young people," said Ed

Ebenbach, chairman of the township's Telecomunications Advisory Board.

The township would be able to use a Facebook page to communicate with residents when significant events cut the power off, said Ebenbach. He went on to say, “We need to figure out how we would control the page and define appropriate and inappropriate content.”

Chairman Barbara N. Lyons agreed.

"I think we would need to discuss specific policies, like who can post and monitor the page, around an idea like this," she said. "I like the idea, as long as it's approached correctly."

Besides a tool to communicate with residents during weather troubles and power outages, the page could be a conduit for communicating information about road closures, Ebenbach added.

In an era like today, where communication is done increasingly on

Fitzpatrick named Friend of National Parks Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick has been recognized by the nonpartisan National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) as a 2013 Friend of the National Parks.

The award, presented last week, recognizes lawmakers' contributions to protecting and enhancing America's national parks and for Fitzpatrick’s support of legislation that upheld the standards and integrity of the National Park System.

"Protecting the natural beauty of our nation is not a partisan issue – we all are called to be responsible

stewards of our natural treasures," Fitzpatrick said. "I'm pleased that my voting record reflects my deep commitment to preserving our national parks."

"We are grateful that our members of Congress have demonstrated a solid commitment to preserving America's national parks," said NPCA Acting President Theresa Pierno. "Support is essential to ensure places like Yellowstone, Gettysburg, and the Everglades are preserved and protected for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.”

social media, it makes sense for us to modernize our approach as well, said vice chairman Tom Scarborough.

Supervisor Ryan Manion added that she has Facebook and Twitter pages and she would be willing to lend a helping hand.

Lyons said officials should decide on the primary purpose of the page.

Officials agreed the next step is to continue coming up with ideas for the page.

In other news, PECO presented Doylestown Township with a $10,000 grant at its July 16 meeting.

Township Manager Stephanie Mason said the grant awarded on behalf of PECO's Green Region

Grant Program will allow for informational kiosks to be constructed at Lower State Road and the Parkway. The kiosks will help users of the Parkway Trail and the Doylestown Community bike/hike system to navigate the area. The grant will be combined with the one the township received from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission to develop the Neshaminy Greenway Trail.

PECO representative Ted Durand presented the award, commenting that it's the third such award for the township given for environmental preservation and open space conservation.

The township also received two ARLE grants from PennDOT for $300,000 for an adaptive control

system along 611. With the adaptive control system, the traffic lights will react to traffic patterns on both 611 and the side roads. The new lighting system is based on cameras at each intersection.

The second ARLE grant was for $90,000 and is for adding LED lights to eight existing traffic signals throughout the township. The LED lights last longer and should save on energy costs. The grant is a complete reimbursement for the cost of the project.

Also at the meeting, the board approved an ordinance requiring all nonuniform employees hired after Jan. 1, 2012, to be placed into a defined contribution plan rather than the defined benefit pension plan used for existing employees.

Lambertville works on energy-buying program John Sievers Lambertville, N.J., officials are moving forward with a plan to establish a community energy aggregation program for city residents.

City council passed a resolution Tuesday, July 16, authorizing a contract with Gabel Associates to broker the program.

The company was chosen through the request for proposal (RFP) process.

Mayor David DelVecchio said Gabel Associates brokered Plumstead, N.J.’s plan. The mayor said Plumstead was the first in the state to use an energy aggregation program, but now other towns in the state are devising plans.

Officials have said the physical energy delivery system would not change; only the financial structure would be revised.

The program stems from deregulation laws passed in the late 1990s. Representatives from the energy group said municipalities are allowed to establish a government energy program under state administrative code Title 14,

Chapter 4, Subchapter 6.

At an informational meeting in March on the subject of energy aggregation, DelVecchio admitted the concept was “a little Big Brother.” It uses the purchasing power of the cooperative to lower individual energy bills; it is possible residents could save $100 to $200 on their bills, he said.

There will be a choice for a green energy option; however, it will save customers less money.

Residents would have 30 days to opt out of the program and could opt back in at any time at no charge, officials said. Residents who have already negotiated other plans would not be affected.

Businesses would have 30 days from the time they receive notice to opt in. Residents also will receive notice.

The next step is to have Gabel Associates help to draft another RFP to find an energy supplier that will adhere to city specifications.

“The city gets no benefit out of this,” DelVecchio said in March.

“We’re just a vehicle to give this to the public.”

In other business, city officials

are seeking to amend the garbage and recycling ordinance to require covers on garbage and recycling cans. The mayor said this was due to complaints about the smell of the

garbage truck as it makes its rounds around the city.

“We’ve gotten a lot of complaints about dirty water,” which was dripping from the truck, he

said. “It’s an aesthetic issue, and it’s arguably a hygiene issue.”

The public hearing on the amendments to the garbage and recycling ordinance is Aug. 20.

Mayor appoints committee to review music hall proposal Lambertville, N.J.: Mayor David DelVecchio has announced the appointment of a new working group consisting of members of the city council and planning board, and community members, to work with the leadership of the nonprofit organization proposing to turn the former First Baptist Church on Bridge Street into the Lambertville Music Hall.

The owners of the building, Lambertville Hall Foundation, withdrew an application to convert the vacant church building into a venue for live music and arts. That proposal drew concerns from local residents and business owners over various issues, including parking and noise.

DelVecchio said the creation of the working group would enable officials from the foundation to work proactively and cooperatively to enhance the proposal and create a project that would benefit all parties.

“I haven't met anyone who doesn't want to see the live arts allowed to flourish in Lambertville, but I have met many, many people who have concerns over the scope and tenor of this particular project,” DelVecchio said. “Many times before, we have found that when we allow applicants and community members to sit down outside of the often adversarial tone of an official hearing, we can make real progress and create better plans.”

DelVecchio said the working

group would consist of city council President Steve Stegman and Councilwoman Beth Asaro, planning board Chairman Tim Korzun and board member Derek Roseman, Ferry Street resident John Woods, business leaders Jim Hamilton and Dan Whitaker and representatives from the Lambertville Hall Foundation.

“Every member of this group shares the same goal – to see the First Baptist Church converted into something special for our city,” DelVecchio said. “I trust that through its work we will not only see a project that best reflects the values of our city, but one that also represents the ability of our community to work together for everyone's benefit.”

Parents were ready but communication was delayed New Hope-Solebury HSA wants to start on project Elizabeth Bowman Adrienne Deussing, vice president of the Home and School Association, asked at the July 15 meeting, for the New HopeSolebury School Board’s help in turning a currently unusable space by the Upper Elementary School into an area for an outside classroom.

The space measuring 51 feet by 91 feet is often muddy and unsafe for students to traverse and the HSA has been working hard to raise funds to do something important for

the school.

Duessing spoke of the two-year long process the HSA has been following to make the project a reality, enlisting help from architects and receiving a plan from David Horn, discussing the idea with David Hansel, operations manager, and Amy Magano and approaching the facilities committee to have the idea put on the agenda for July 15 but apparently a communication glitch prevented it from reaching the agenda.

She said the HSA has raised $30,000 for the project and needs

another $12,000 to get it started.

Hansel, stating that he too had expected the matter to be on the agenda, said he needed to get started right away to have phase one completed before the beginning of school. Phase one entails leveling the ground and installing Astroturf where benches and seating places can be placed.

The meeting contained some heated discussion regarding the process through which things are approved and board member Joe Harraka, an outspoken participant in that dialogue, objected to the

matter’s being brought to the board as it was.

Jon Adar, another board member with strong opinions on process opined that it appeared the HSA had followed the process and he moved to give the HSA the funding.

Secretary Stuart Perrone advised against designating money without knowing where it would come from. The facilities committee planned another meeting for July 23 to further discuss the matter and board President Amanda Elefante suggested a special meeting following the facilities meeting to vote on

the funding.

It was suggested by David Lieberman, director of pupil services, sitting in for Superintendent Ray Boccuti, that perhaps the HSA could borrow the money from school coffers with the intention of raising funds and paying it back.

Hansel said the project could begin with the site work and proceed as funds became available but it must begin soon. There was a potential that community members would donate to this effort, lessening the need for funds from the board.

New Hope-Solebury board discusses field repairs, student transfers Elizabeth Bowman At the New Hope-Solebury School Board meeting July 15, David Hansel clarified that $5,000 has been approved to repair the surface of the field with the status of the fence undecided.

Board member Joseph Harraka

insisted that football players not use the field unless the fence is removed because going out for a pass may end up with a player hitting the fence. Hansel commented that if the fence were gone then there were trees to contend with.

He suggested the football team do pass practice on the stadium field.

Other discussion involved special education. Board member Jon Adar asked David Lieberman, director of pupil services, how he chose which teachers will experience co-teaching in the new initiative beginning this fall, and which will go it alone.

Lieberman explained he has had conversations with the staff regard-

Solebury man celebrates U.S. citizenship A U.S. Citizenship Party for Paul Trenchard took place July 13 at Rolling Green Farm in Solebury.

ing their comfort level with coteaching. He went on to discuss the enrolment figures, which show an overall decrease of 17 students.

The subject of exit interviews was raised and it was determined that the majority of those leaving k5 are moving whereas 51 percent of students leaving higher grades are

choosing other schools. Exit surveys were given to all those departing but none were returned, Lieberman said. He said another way to get the information will be tried.

The next regular meeting of the NH-S School Board is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 19.

WEEKENDS Tinicum Arts festival delivered arts, crafts, food and fun Rose Strong The 64th annual arts festival, run by the Tinicum Civic Association to raise funds for more than 30 communitybased, nonprofit organizations took place July 13 and 14.

The event, held in the style of an old-time country fair with strolling performers, musical acts and traditional fair food, brought out more than 300 artists and craftspeople selling their handmade wares.

With a weekend filled with possible rain, high humidity and extensive heat warnings, the Tinicum Arts Festival was well-attended and had some very cheerful artists and craftspeople that seemed unbothered by the adverse conditions. Cups of old-fashioned lemonade flowed and bottles of cold water kept everyone hydrated while temperatures soared into the 90s and humidity was high.

A stroll through the Art Barn gave visitors the chance to view and purchase works by more than 160 regional artists. There were watercolor, oil and acrylic paintings; pastel drawings; mixed media and sculpture to lure attendees up the hill and into the large barn.

The Tinicum Civic Association assists in the preservation of the Stover Mill, a historic landmark, built in 1832.

The town of Erwinna, which sits along the Delaware River, was named after the Erwin family, who built the original portion of the house that sits on the property, sometime between 1798 and 1820. It was left to Bucks County in 1955 by John J. Stover and is now known as the Erwin-Stover House. The home and land became the county’s first park.

The Art Barn serves as home to the work of regional artists during the festival.

Doylestown Hospital nurses have already signed up to be part of a new exchange between Doylestown and Gallup, N.M. Americans for Native Americans, a Bucks County-based group founded by Connie and Bill Eastburn, has sponsored scholarships at the University of New Mexico Gallup from the beginning of the program, 10 years ago. The nurses who graduate are bolstering the shortage of Native American nurses in the Southwest, and giving them lifelong employment – a critical improvement in an area where poverty and unemployment is rampant.

Thorpe Farm gets Presidential Service Award The Thorpe First Nation Family Organic Farm in Upper Makefield has been awarded the President’s Volunteer Service Award—Family.

The Thorpe Farm has been recognized for its programs for children, its food donation program, and an outreach program that brings together people of various cultures and faiths in an effort to teach respect for the Earth and

Mother Nature.

The awards were first established in 2003 by George W. Bush, presented to individuals who give tirelessly to others, offering their time, energy, talents and commitment to improve the quality of life for all.

Rosemary Gallagher, director of the Peace Project/Kids for Peace and a certified organization team member for the Presidential

awards, said, “As a local-to-global nonprofit program, we have met many other exemplary groups that work with children. The Thorpe Farm is a great example of putting unity in community.”

Other individuals and organizations that have worked with the Thorpe Farm and also received awards are as follow.

NH-S clashes on policy procedure

Tinicum reviews open space

Continued from page 1

Elizabeth Bowman Norm MacArthur reported July 16 to the Tinicum Township supervisors on the ad hoc open space committee, which was appointed in January to look at land preservation.

The committee has established a point system to rate properties for possible preservation and it asked the supervisors to appoint a new land preservation committee.

Panzica added there are several ways for a policy to be changed.

Board member Joe Harraka added his objection saying that he believed it was an irregular procedure to the extent that “a committee chair can do something for one special community member.”

He said there was no indication that the change was vetted by the solicitor or whether it would be approved by PSBA. He was extremely vociferous about what he called “the wrong signal to send that any one person can affect policy.”

Elefante commented that actions have been taken in the past for rating and awards, adding that she has pushed that agenda.

She remarked that the issue at hand is one the community as a whole has been working on.

Alison Kingsley commented that

New Hope Borough has passed a non-discriminatory policy and this is the same process. Harraka continued strident opposition to the process followed by the policy committee.

Board member Susan Atkinson said she wants to send the message that the district accepts all children and Panzica said she is excited that this policy will support an emerging group of students working with these issues.

Elefante suggested the vote could be tabled until the next meeting but other members wanted to keep it on the evening’s agenda with Harraka continuing his assertion that it was a “fast-tracked charade.”

When the vote came he voted no, Jon Adar and Sue Atkinson abstained and the remaining five (in the absence of John Vaughn) voted to approve. *** Three board members, Adar,

Atkinson and Harraka, issued the following statement following the board meeting: “We want to reiterate that protecting the safety and well-being of all children, including those who identify as transgender, is one of the top priorities of the school board members who abstained from voting and voted against the policy changes that were enacted at last night’s school board meeting.

“Our votes on the policy changes were not based on the substance of those changes, though they required more robust deliberation, but rather on the circumvention by a majority of the board of both process and governance best practices.

“We look forward to a time when transparency, engaging the community, consulting experts, reviewing data and adhering to process are again priorities of all members of the school board.”

MacArthur suggested the committee be an odd number of people and an ordinance should be adopted to define it. He suggested that this be achieved quickly because certain important tax benefits of preservation expire at the end of the year.

Supervisor Nick Forte suggested the board adopt the criteria and put it on the web site to see if interest in serving exists.

Central Bucks appoints Weitzel Continued from page 1

that’s occurred probably the last year and a half.”

By turmoil, he said he meant the public uproar regarding changes to the middle school schedule, followed by the retirement of longtime Superintendent N. Robert Laws and the hiring of Green.

Weitzel, who served for 14 years as principal at Warwick and New Hope-Solebury elementary schools, said he’s “hoping to bring focus and calm.”

“It was clear from the school board’s decision to agree to separate with Dr. Green that everyone wants to refocus on our primary responsibility, and a focus I fully support, and that is to provide all students in Central Bucks with a meaningful and challenging k-12 education in caring and nurturing schools,” Weitzel wrote in an email. The former special education teacher said in a phone interview that by saying all students, he was referring to meeting the needs of children with special needs.

Green’s tenure as superintendent ended earlier this month by mutual agreement between the school

board and Green. The board agreed to pay him a $365,000 severance package at its July 3 meeting and allowed him to keep his districtissued iPad, iPhone and inkjet printer, along with a year of health insurance.

Weitzel said there seemed to be an absence of connectivity with the school community, including the administration, principals and administrative council, during Green’s tenure. “His vision was much more outwardly focused, and that was new for us,” Weitzel said.

He said the administrators were used to working as a team, like a cabinet of sorts, and Green was more connected to student activities.

Corr put it this way: “Dr. Weitzel has been dedicated to the success of our children for 15 years, since he came to CB. The board is confident that Dr. Weitzel will focus his work on the education of our children and continue the successes this district enjoyed over the last 20 years. He will seek input from the board and the administrators on both large and small decisions, something that was lacking this past year.” jarthur@buckscountyherald.com

Elizabeth Ludlow Bowman: Tips for the Compleat Gardener

Thalictrum dancing in your garden Even after all these many years as a gardener, a blooming being can leave me breathlessly fascinated as if discovery for the first time of something always present.

Last week found me gazing into the violet cloud of thalictrum rochebunianum as it danced in the summer breeze at least two feet over my head, noting the golden spray of stamens and pistil centering each group of petals (pictured) I have always known and planted thalictrums and enjoy saying the word [thal-IKtrum], but until now I was unaware of the varieties available to grace the garden.

Thalictrum rochebrunianum is meadow rue that originated in Japan but can be found here and there in the wild meadows.It blooms mid to late summer in the sun to part shade garden. I am most familiar with T. aquilegi-

folium which is named for the fact that its leaves resemble those of the columbine (aquilegia) and it blooms in late spring at a height of 2-3 feet.

The tiny flowers are frillier than the former variety and the clump of blossoms looks like a lavender cloud. T. speciosissimum (which describes it as showy) also know as dusty meadow rue has gray-green leaves and fragrant yellow flowers in early summer.

Also sporting yellow flowers is T. flavum, which has blue leaves and reaches 3-4 feet in height and seeing its picture I am sure I have been mistaking it for something else all these years. It kind of looks like dill in bloom but much fuller. Truthfully I have never thought of meadow rue as yellow. I have planted the miniature varieties, the dainy, whiteflowering T. clavatum or pink

Delaware Township land a link in farm greenbelt The New Jersey Conservation Foundation celebrated the preservation of a 94-acre property in Delaware Township June 5.

The property, which stretches between Pavlica and Pine Hill roads, provides habitat for wood turtles, a threatened species in New Jersey.

Surrounded by other preserved properties, it adds to a 1,000-acre green belt around the hamlet of Sergeantsville. Trails linking preserved lands are planned.

The foundation purchased the property in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres Program, the New Jersey Water Supply Authority, Hunterdon County, Delaware Township and the 1772 Foundation.

“New Jersey Conservation Foundation has had its eye on this property for a long time, and we’re thrilled to finally preserve it,” said Michele S. Byers, executive director. “It provides a missing link in our trail system, and it protects water resources and wildlife habitat. “ The property was purchased from W. Bryce Thompson, a land investor who has sold more than 4,000 acres for conservation.

The property has numerous spring seeps and small streams feeding the Plum Brook, a tributary of the Wickecheoke Creek, which flows into the D&R Canal,

thy of preservation, this property would be it,” he commented.

The property includes the tiny Pine Hill Cemetery, which has markers dating back as far as the late 1700s. According to local historian Marfy Goodspeed, the cemetery is located on what was once the Williamson family farm, and has graves belonging to members of the Williamson, Sergeant, Larew, Heath, Lake and Rounsavell families.

the buttercup family, is generally pest-free, a perennial clump-former and will stand up freely without needing support in most cases.

Thalictrums are under-used by gardeners and that is possibly due to the fact that they are not blooming during the spring rush when gardeners typically visit nurseries. Their early spring foliage is not eye-catching so one has to know the plant’s potential to add it to the border. This is a good time to visit gardens and garden centers to see what is blooming in midsummer now that the spring show has subsided.

In the garden keeping plants deadheaded will greatly extend the bloom time and give you flowers for the vase. Take the time to ascertain where the new flowers are coming from before removing the spent ones. Stake anything that has been buffeted by winds and pre-emptively stake the giant sedums for the best look at season’s end. Enjoy the moment. compleatgardener@comcast.net

LETTERS TO THE HERALD Emotions fanned by media, not true reporting I have read with interest the many opinions on Trayvon and George Zimmerman and it appears emotions are being fanned by the media and the government for their own odd purposes. I am disappointed with the deceit and overwhelming non-factual presentation of that particular case.

Cases like the March murder of 13-month-old Antonio West in Brunswick, Ga., by two black teens are generally ignored. It was ruled not a hate crime that they shot mother and child when the mother could not produce money.

Antonio's civil rights or the violation thereof have not been discussed by the media or the Justice Department and won't be because the full truth is not how the game is played.

It is sad that any disaster or specific crime is presented in detail, not always truthful detail, and repeated constantly to raise emotional response levels and further fracture an American society that should be finding solutions to problems.

The government uses incidents for political gain and to distract the public from what it might be doing

behind their back. Our society needs to demand that reporters present only facts and all the facts as they know them and leave opinions out of the picture.

Whites remain in denial of self-segregation I’m curious as to why Jerome Becker (Two different worlds: Zimmerman and Martin) has come full circle in his migratory patterns, by choosing to live in Tinicum, an enclave as white, or maybe more so, than the Upper East Side in New York City.

All people make judgments and decisions based on race. Even when some whites lament the bridges between the races, they remain in denial of their own choice of self-segregation. White liberals love the bumper sticker version of “diversity” more than the real deal.

The former judge makes some good points but he should have asked how it is that AsianAmericans have such low crime and incarceration rates, even lower than whites.

HISTORY LIVES

Wouldn’t a racist America and its institutionalized bias against nonwhites, within its judicial system, find ways to persecute Asians? If white malevolence explains black crime, does white benevolence explain Asian success?

Enjoyable afternoon on garden tour Having spent an enjoyable afternoon at the New Hope Historical Society’s annual garden tour, we congratulate the tour organizers on a successful event and on the occasion of their 20th anniversary.

The gardens were lovely and dedicated volunteers made sure that adequate hydration was plentiful during the liquefying heat. The police department did a splendid job of maintaining a traffic flow.

Seven owners opened their private gardens for the tour, but the highlight for us, was the opportunity to tour Mayor Larry Keller’s garden. He gave an informative talk on the use of statuary and its placement in the enclosed garden, which was delightful.

Susan Abramson: Doylestown Historical Society

Dear Friends, Good morning. A few weeks ago, I mentioned in one of my columns that all the Upper Bucks high schools have orchestras except one, Quakertown, my home town.

That’s too bad because Quakertown has a rich musical heritage.

There are more than 20 churches in the Quakertown borough alone; each with CHARLES AND BETSY choirs and musical programs. There is the MEREDITH fabulous Quakertown Band, founded in 1877 and still going strong.

The junior and senior high schools have wonderful concert bands, jazz ensembles and choruses ... but no orchestra. If your child wants to learn the violin, viola, cello or bass, the Quakertown school system is not the place to be.

Our friend, Cheryl Soliday, must have heard me grumbling about this recently because I received a note from her telling me about the Youth Orchestra Camp in Perkasie. It’s been running for nine years and is sponsored by the First Baptist Church of Perkasie. Darla Mulhall is the camp director.

The camp runs five days (July 22-26) and concludes with a concert this Sunday evening (July 27) at 7. Unfortunately, Mighty Betsy and I can’t attend so I’ll take in the dress rehearsal tomorrow.

“First Baptist Church Youth Orchestra Camp is dedicated to helping young people develop a deeper love for God and His gift of music,” its brochure states. “The camp is for young people who have played a musical instrument for at least two years and who have completed school grades 4th through 8th. Exceptions by audition only.”

All it costs is $10.

Darla Mulhall told me that the camp is “unashamedly Christian.” This year’s camp has 40 children enrolled: 10 violins, four violas, six cellos, three saxophones, five flutes, one oboe, three trumpets, one trombone, one baritone, one French horn, four percussion including the timpani, and one piano.

Students from Allentown, Pennridge, Quakertown, Souderton, Southern Lehigh, North Penn, Faith Christian, and Plumstead Christian are represented. There’s even a child from Ohio enrolled. “We have Jews, Catholics and Protestants at the camp,” Darla continued.

Although several of the campers were with the program last year, the combined talent is unknown. She has no idea how the kids will fare. But judging by the video of last year’s concert, the young musicians will do very well.

“We train young musicians to serve the ministry,” Darla continued.

The music is varied ... classical, secular, and patriotic. “We teach them to accompany congregational singing.”

That’s easier said than done. Congregations are often hard to lead.

Sometimes, they get behind the beat. There are two services at Faith Baptist each week and they include 20 orchestra members.

She got a big smile from me when she described a technique to get the children’s attention to the daily devotion. This year’s first day theme is from the Old Testament (Psalm 148: 11-14) and has 73 words. Darla will hand a $20 bill to the first student who can recite it from memory.

I asked Darla to tell me about the typical three-hour day at the camp.

“We start each day by tuning the orchestra,” she replied. The children read (out loud) a Biblical verse, which is followed by sectional practice.

An adult musician leads them: all strings, all percussion, brass, and flutes.

One of Faith Baptist’s three pastors gives a 20-minute devotion. The next hour is divided between games and snacks. The entire orchestra plays the last 60 minutes together.

Darla smiled when she told me that she feels accomplished if she recognizes the tune that the kids are playing at the end of the first day.

Rhythm and intonation are the most difficult tasks to master.

Last year the concert attracted about 300. I’m confident that the house will be full on Sunday evening. First Baptist Church is located at 1600 N. Fifth St. in Perkasie.

Sincerely, Charles Meredith By the way, as I drove to this interview, I thought about my paternal grandmother who was a Perkasie girl and grew up in the Faith Baptist Church. My grandfather published the Perkasie Central News and was a member of the Quaker faith (Gwynedd Meeting). In the 1890s Quakers were not to marry non-Quakers. Gwynedd Meeting promptly expelled my grandfather ... the banishment was called being “read out of meeting.”

I drove by my grandmother’s old church, which in her day was at Fourth and Arch streets. My father told me tales about his younger brother (one year) and he pumping that pipe organ. Because it was located in a separate room from the auditorium, father and Uncle John would read books instead of listening to the pastor’s sermon.

The two brothers lost their pumping job when they did not notice that the pastor’s message was over and failed to fill the organ’s bellows with enough air to play the final hymn. The organ belched, wheezed and groaned which caused considerable snickering from the congregation ... but embarrassment from the parents.

Before I leave you, here’s a bit of minutia. As I left Perkasie I remembered that the street names are identical to Philadelphia’s. From East to West, the street names are: Callowhill, Vine, Race, Arch, Market, Chestnut, Walnut and Spruce.

Doylestown, Circa 1931. Clymer’s Department store rises at 22 South Main Street.

Seen on the left side of the photo wearing dark pants and a hat is builder Augustus C. Elfman, while department store owner Robert Clymer is to the right of Elfman sporting a tie. The borough’s historic Lenape Hall appears in the background. This shot of the construction, courtesy of Tuck Elfman, was taken from the F.P. Kolbe Building, which was later home to Doylestown’s Sears store and serves as a parking lot today. In the early 1950s following the close of Clymer’s Dept store, the site was occupied by several merchants until the early 1970s when it became the home of County Linen for over 30 years.

In recent years the site was renovated and is now the home of the Main Street Marketplace. As an aside, the builder, Augustus (Gus) Elfman, lived at, and operated his business, from the house at 56 S. Main Str., now the home of the Doylestown Historical Society (about a block south of the building pictured above).

Q. I have been out of work for some time. The job search has been daunting with no real prospects locating a decent job that fits around my family’s schedule. Just recently I became aware of a position in which I can work from my home. My friend told me that a lot of the work-at-home jobs are nothing more than a scam.

A. Your friend is correct; most work-at-home opportunities do not deliver on their promises. They advertise that you could earn thou-

sands of dollars a month working from your home. Legitimate workat-home program sponsors should tell you, in writing, what’s involved in the program they are selling.

Also is important to know is who will pay you and when would you get your first paycheck.

John T. Harding: Editor’s Revenge

Front page musings

Dr. Timothy Henrich, who announced a possible cure for AIDS this summer, will come to Bucks County in September. His research was sponsored by amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, with funds generated by a Bucks County group.

Bridget Wingert: Happy to Be Here

An astounding revelation Benefit parties abound in the Delaware Valley. One that is set for September stands out for its world view. It’s the annual event that supports the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR).

Last year’s party was called “The Swan Song: Closing in on a Cure.” It was named for the swans that roam Helen Chaitman’s farm in Frenchtown, N.J., where the party was held. But the name had another meaning – in anticipation of finally determining a cure for AIDS, the disease discovered in the 1980s that has so far evaded a cure. There was much hope in 2012, that a cure would surface any day.

And last year, the event raised $105,000, through donations of $25 to $10,000 and a matching grant from the McCrindle Foundation. John Rowe, one of the group that arranged the event, is president of that foundation.

The proceeds supported a new Bucks County Friends of amfAR and the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation Award, which funded the work of Dr. Timothy Henrich and his research team at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston through the amfAR Research Consortium on HIV Eradication (ARCHE).

In 2012, Henrich identified two HIV-positive patients who showed no signs of HIV after undergoing bone marrow transplants to cure lymphoma. The patients had been on long-term antiretroviral therapy for HIV when they developed lymphoma. To treat the cancer, the patients underwent reduced intensity chemotherapy followed by stem transplants. Henrich stopped the antiretroviral medications to test whether the patients would remain free of the HIV virus.

In one of the patients there were no signs of HIV after four months, the other for two months.

“This is very unusual,” said Dr. Rowena Johnston, amfAR’s vice president and director of research.

She encouraged Henrich to apply for an amfAR grant after she heard of his work at a conference of the International AIDS Society (IAS).

Henrich had identified two men who had been HIV-free for an extended period and he wanted to test their reactions to withdrawal from anti-retroviral therapy.

This year, with the amfAR grant supporting his research, Henrich was ready to announce a possible cure for AIDS in the two men. He made the announcement July at the IAS conference in Singapore.

Henrich’s research follows a well publicized case of an AIDS cure, the “Berlin patient,” but the situation was different. In that case, Timothy Brown had a stem cell transplant from a donor with a genetic mutation that does not allow the HIV virus to occur (CCR5 delta32). Five years out from that transplant, HIV has not recurred. It is rare to find a donor with the genetic mutation and Henrich’s donors did not have it.

Henrich’s work is uncharted territory, Dr. Johnston said. “Mostly, when a patient is taken off retrovi-

ral therapy, the disease comes roaring back.” But Henrich’s patients’ transplants were from donors without the genetic mutation.

“Dr. Henrich is cautious, taking a guarded view, but so far has not been able to detect HIV in his patients,” Johnston said.

The patients, both volunteers, she said, are being closely watched. “They are both motivated. Many patients are incredibly generous. They are keen to learn what others have been through and to share their knowledge.”

“Dr. Henrich is charting new territory in HIV eradication research,” Dr. Johnston said in a press release. “Whatever the outcome, we will have learned more about what it will take to cure HIV. We believe amfAR's continued investments in HIV curebased research are beginning to show real results and will ultimately lead us to a cure in our lifetime.”

Henrich’s research is just one of amfAR’s projects. Johnston pointed to a project announced in March, in which an infant born with AIDS was considered cured.

The child was given anti-retroviral therapy almost immediately at birth. The child has been without signs of HIV almost two years later. An amfAR grant enabled the researchers to perform tests that confirmed the cure.

A grant this year is enabling researchers from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Thailand and Australia to collaborate on studies exploring potential strategies for eliminating HIV infection.

Another grant is aiding researchers at the University of California and the University of Washington to explore gene therapy using stem cells as a potential cure.

And a grant is continuing to fund research at Johns Hopkins University to identify cells that harbor viruses and determining how the viruses may be induced out of infected cells so they can be targeted by antiretroviral therapy.

The committee that organized last year’s “Swan Song” is planning an event for Sept. 28 in New Hope. They are honoring “The Great 48,” the 48 donors who made Dr. Henrich’s work possible, and Henrich will be here to help celebrate.

“What a fun opportunity.”

Johnston said. Dr. Henrich can talk to people, maybe give a more recent update. He’s really, really a nice guy. Bucks County people really have a treat on their hands.”

Helen Davis Chaitman, John Rowe, Happy Shipley and Gene Underwood are hoping for a big turnout at “The Great 48.” “This is one time when the words ‘your dollars will help change the world’ are truly not a vague or exaggerated claim,” they say.

For information on attending the Sept. 28 event contact amfAR at 212-806-1600 or amfar.org.

Events are also planned this year in Toronto, Milan, Rio and Dallas.

The latest chapter in the series on change in the news biz has to do with the breakup of The Tribune Company into separate print and broadcast entities. No surprise here, since it's been talked about for weeks, and reflects a corporate desire to go after lucrative broadcast ad revenue even as print operations struggle.

One big question, of course, is whether major newspapers like the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times, both owned by The Tribune Company, will survive. The quick answer is, certainly they will.

They will be different, however, since many folks get their news and views from television, and surf the Internet for breaking news as well as background information. And as TV operations broaden and attract more writers and reporters to the supposedly more glamorous world of broadcasting, print suffers not only from revenue losses, but also personnel losses – some of which, of course, are selfinflicted as newspapers trim staff to save money.

But that doesn't mean a soaring

increase in out-of-work journalists.

The delivery system has changed, but news gathering still starts with a reporter and a note pad.

Processing the text is far more efficient than the days of typewriters, Linotype machines, compositors handling (literally) the type to make up pages, proofreaders, and others as the story made its way from the newsroom to the presses.

Entire departments were eliminated by the advent of computers and computerized page makeup. And where once a major city daily would have 200 people working in the composing room and fewer than 50 in the newsroom, those numbers in many cases have been reversed. So, yes, the composing room had fewer printers union members working, but the newsroom had more reporters and editors.

In addition, technology allowed more pages to be made up faster, so that meant more room for advertising. And that, of course, is what pays the publishing bills.

As for jobs in journalism, the business has changed along with the technology. There may not be

as many writing jobs available in hard-copy print media, but there are more in the electronic media.

After all, writing still starts with a notebook and the ability to put words together – spelled correctly.

Moreover, even as the several segments of the information industry compete for business – print, broadcast and Internet – it's important to remember that many folks don't have access to a computer, and many others prefer the tactile sensation of holding their information source. It also has the feel of being more permanent, and can't be changed by hackers.

There is also a thing called "revenge editing," where someone with ill intent goes into a web site and deliberately changes textual references. Wikipedia has been battling this for years.

And as NBC News reported last week, the Kremlin is looking to buy manual typewriters so they can return to hard copy data storage.

Robert Leight: Around Upper Bucks

Future generations will not understand what earlier generations have written No change in education passes without some controversy. One revision in the primary school curriculum is the decline in the teaching of cursive writing, which used to be called “penmanship.”

Instruction in cursive writing has been slipping for at least a decade. But there is a “back to basics” movement in some states, which seeks to revive cursive.

States as diverse as California, Georgia, and Massachusetts have instituted requirements that cursive be taught in the elementary schools.

For most of us, we were first taught manuscript, or block printing. Then in the second or third grade, we were taught cursive, which connected the letters into words.

This system had some logic, for learning to read entails the decoding of printed material which is in block printing. The rationale for cursive was that the joined letters were more efficient. Another rationale was that handwriting was an art, which in its highest form was calligraphy.

In American schools the main system of cursive writing for a long time was the Palmer Method.

This system was advocated as being more legible and efficient than the elaborate systems of the 19th century. I was taught by the Palmer Method, which entailed introductory practice in making pages of strokes and circles, then to write lines of individual letters, which eventually would be joined into words. The most important aspect of the Palmer Method was that the whole arm was to be used in writing, rather than forming the letters with the fingers. The final stage of instruction was to write with a stick pen dipped into an inkwell in the corner of the student desk.

By the intermediate grades my handwriting had deteriorated so much that I converted to the manuscript printing, which I had been taught originally. When I was professor of education at Lehigh University most of my students were educators or prospective educators and I noticed that most of them used printing rather than cur-

sive. The best were the first grade teachers.

Perhaps the major argument for learning cursive is that a written signature is needed on documents.

But the art of writing often has declined so much that typically an additional line is added, which asks that the signature be verified by printing. Often the most important people have the worst penmanship.

There is an interesting case now at the federal level. The new Treasury Secretary, Jacob Lew, uses a signature composed of a series of loops, which is illegible.

But his signature is needed for all currency. According to a news report, he is practicing so that his signature is improving.

I believe that the use of cursive will continue to decline. If so, my greatest concern is that future generations will not be able to decipher documents that were written in cursive.

Fanny swimming going for another title Szekely making waves, too David Campbell The thought brought a tear to Carey Lever’s eye.

The head coach of the Fanny Chapman swim team knows this year will probably be her last with coaches Ben Safran and Jeremy Frey, who have assisted Lever and her husband, Bill, for six and five years, respectively, with the Dolphins.

“It’s sad,” Carey Lever said last Thursday morning.

“I love them. To win our fifth championship with them on staff that whole time will just be so amazing.”

It’s not a certainty that neither Safran nor Frey will return in 2014, but Lever is already resigned to the fact that the Dolphins might be in the market for two new coaches.

Safran and Frey are both expected to pursue career interests.

“We adore those boys and Ashley [Zanolini, a teacher at Central Bucks East and another assistant on the Levers’ staff],” Lever said. “The five of us just have such a great relationship. It just doesn’t feel like going to work. It’s awesome.”

Safran, a graduate of Central Bucks West, and Frey, a product of CB East, both swam collegiately, as did Carey and Bill Lever, for the Bloomsburg Huskies.

“I want to definitely do something special with our coaching staff,” said Carey Lever, if the Dolphins can sink Lansdale (in a make-up meet on Wednesday; results unavailable at press time), which would give Fanny Chapman a fifth-straight BuxMont Summer Swimming and Diving League championship and an equally

unfathomable 41-meet win streak that dates to July 1, 2008.

In addition to perhaps having to say goodbye to Safran and Frey, Lever is scheduled to lose 10 graduating seniors (nine swimmers and one diver), though the cupboard never seems to be bare at the Doylestown-based club.

“I just wish them the best of luck; they’re amazing kids and they’ll do great things,” said Lever, who is in her sixth year, along with her husband, as head coach of the Dolphins. “We just love coaching this program.”

Fanny Chapman swimming is family, said Jennifer Strohmeyer, a recent graduate of CB West, who is in her 11th year with the Dolphins and is considering swimming club next year at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. “I met all my best friends here, and I just loved it so I kept doing it,” she said. “This has been like a second family, I guess. I’ve grown up with the coaches and swam with them when they (Safran and Frey) were on the team.”

Doylestown resident Bobby Speese has been swimming for Fanny Chapman for as long as Strohmeyer, and he, too, treasures the friendships he’s made and sustained, mentioning bonds with, among others, Marisa Ferrari (CB East), Mike McBryan (La Salle College), Jackson Butkus (CB West) and Kelley Gavel (CB East).

“I’ve grown up with all of them and they’ve become a lot of my good friends,” said the Penn State-bound Speese, a district qualifier in the 500 freestyle for La Salle Continued on page B2

David Campbell Allie Szekely was born to swim.

Her parents, Les and Jeanne, both swam in college; her brother, Chris, a decorated swimmer at La Salle College H i g h , competes at West Point, where he is a rising sophomore; and ALLIE SZEKELY h e r younger siblings, Steph and Matt, have joined her on the Fanny Chapman swim team, which is going for a fifthstraight BuxMont Summer Swimming and Diving League championship.

“It’s so exciting to be on a team that has so much success,” Allie Szekely said of Fanny, which is based in Doylestown, her hometown. “It’s awe-

some. It’s so much fun to be around the whole team; everyone is so happy whenever we win. But, on the other hand, it’s not all about winning. It’s about having fun, so I think everyone has fun and that makes us successful.”

Szekely is in her eighth year with Fanny Chapman, where, she said, she’s grown to love swimming, calling the nearly 300 competitors who swim for the Dolphins “family” and adding, “I would never think about leaving; it’s a part of me.”

It’s been a wildly successful year for Szekely, who qualified for last summer’s U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb., in three events (100 and 200 breaststroke and 200 IM) and thrilled the crowd by taking 17th in the 200 breaststroke in 2:30.03. Top 16 make the final.

Szekely was only 14 years old at the time.

“I went into the meet not expecting to even get close to that,” said Szekely, who punched her ticket to Nebraska by virtue of reaching time Continued on page B3

College High in each of the past two years. “It’s a lot of fun to swim here.”

Speese is the younger brother of Andrew and David Speese, both of whom swam in college: Andrew for the University of Delaware, and David, a 2011 Pennsylvania gold medalist in the 100 breaststroke and a twotime Olympic Trials qualifier, presently for the University of North Carolina.

“The area is pretty good for swimming,” Bobby Speese praised.

The Dolphins are also home to two-time state qualifier Hannah Wittman (CB East) and rising sophomore Allie Szekely (Gwynedd Mercy), who established a new state record in winning the Class AA 200 IM at Bucknell University in March.

Fanny Chapman has 289 competitors and its depth is, not surprisingly,

unmatched. Strohmeyer credited the Dolphins’ younger swimmers, who can rack up the points as quickly as the upperclassmen, and the Levers for instilling a positive attitude.

“They made us want to go faster and try harder,” Strohmeyer said of the Levers. “And the team spirit here, it’s so important to cheer and all that stuff.”

Fanny Chapman survived a scare last Thursday from Harleysville, 235-231, but, for the most part, has won rather easily and holds a 48point triumph over second-place Towamencin on July 9. But winning, Lever said, is a distant second to the Levers’ “main goal to have them fall in love with swimming or revive that love of swimming.

While winning has been great, our biggest focus is on sportsmanship and on the kids loving the experience.” dcampbell@buckscountyherald.com

Lenape Valley collection drive under way

The Lenape Valley Swim and Dive Team has launched a collection drive through Saturday, July 27 to help trim costs for area families in need.

The team is supporting Cradles to Crayons’ Ready for School drive (cradlestocrayons.org/philadelphia/rfs), an annual initiative to collect the essential items needed to ensure that every local child will start the school year off on the right foot. Area residents are being asked to bring their gently used, outgrown clothes along with footwear, books and toys – school supplies, too – to the Lenape Valley Swim Club (64 Westview Ave., Chalfont) during normal pool hours, and place them in the specially marked purple Cradles to Crayons collection bins.

Items collected through the July 27 Lenape Valley Swim Club Splash Party will be given to Cradles to Crayons for distribution to disadvantaged area school children through age 12.

For information, contact Julie Kline at klinefamily@comcast.net or Christine Reimert at creimert@devineandpartners.com.

In addition to being a standout field hockey player and student, recent CB West graduate Heather Zezzo, center, in blue top, is a member of the USA dragon boat team.

Don Leypoldt

Say this for Heather Zezzo: the rising college freshman has more options than a Wall Street commodities firm.

Zezzo’s calling card is field hockey. The midfielder led the SOL Continental in goals last fall with 25. She picked up a spot on the Pennsylvania High School Field Hockey Coaches’ All-State first team in the process. Zezzo helped lead Central Bucks West, a No. 9 seed in the district playoffs, to its first PIAA state berth since 1997.

It helped that Zezzo scored six of CB West’s nine goals in district playoff action, including the game-winner with 25 seconds left in a firstround 2-1 win over Methacton, and both goals in the Lady Bucks’ thirdplace game victory over Wissahickon.

“I played soccer for eight years but realized it might not be my best option since I am only 5’3”. I started field hockey in second grade,” Zezzo said, “and when I got to middle school, I realized that I had to start choosing a sport. I chose field hockey and it’s been absolutely awesome.

“I got into one of the best programs in our community, the Mystx field hockey club, and that has really helped to shape my skills,” Zezzo continued. “The head, Tina Reinprecht, has some older girls throughout the program who continued to work with us when we were young. We learned, from a young age, to have that drive.”

Zezzo also cited her mother, a phys

ed teacher in the Central Bucks district and herself a great athlete, as a huge influence. It was just hundreds of yards away from her mother’s school, in War Memorial Field, that produced Zezzo’s favorite field hockey memory.

CB West was the “away” team hosting archrival CB East. “It was an unbelievable game. I think it was the most goals scored in any game I’ve ever played in,” Zezzo recalled. “We ended up winning, 74. It was just such a pivotal moment because they’ve always been better.

We came into the game a little nervous. It was a night game too and we had a lot riding on that game. All of the seniors really came together.”

But if field hockey doesn’t work out, there is always dragon boat racing. Think crew but bigger and more dramatic. Dragon boats consist of 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steer person. As a left paddler, Zezzo is a member of the USA Junior National Dragon Boat Team.

In the fall of 2011, Zezzo competed in the International Dragon Boat Federation World Cup in Tampa and came home with three gold medals.

“It did help with field hockey,” Zezzo observed. “The muscles are the same and the position you have on the paddle are the same as on a field hockey stick. The only thing is, it doesn’t really work for cardiovascular but it was a great strength training exercise.”

And if that doesn’t work out, there is always the Ivy League engineering degree that Zezzo is likely to earn four years from now. Zezzo enrolls at

COURTESY OF HEATHER ZEZZO

Dartmouth next month. She leaves CB West as the president of student government and its valedictory speaker. Zezzo, who carried nearly a 4.3 GPA, currently interns for an engineering firm in Doylestown.

“It was very influential in helping me carve out my path for college. They really showed me what engineering is, and how to create your own business,” Zezzo noted on her internship. “They were great role models for me and I want to take those experiences that I had and take them to college. I think engineering is definitely in my future.”

When not tackling engineering courses at Dartmouth, Zezzo will likely play midfield in field hockey.

The Big Green went 11-6 last season, losing just once in Ivy League play.

“Dartmouth is the number one school in undergraduate teaching,” she said. “Their professors are some of the best in the world and they don’t have any teaching assistants. They also have a very interesting program – it was one of the things that enticed me to Dartmouth – so that after your sophomore year, you stay during the summer and take courses so that the winter of your junior year, you can either get an internship or study abroad.

“It works for all athletes. The great thing is that a lot of my teammates going into their senior year already have a job waiting for them when they graduate. I thought it was a wonderful program.”

Zezzo has already assembled an extraordinary resume. But it is perfectly consistent with someone who had to overcome some extraordinary things.

Born in China, Zezzo was adopted by a single mom when she was still an infant. She still fundraises for the orphanage from which she came.

During CB West’s commencement, Zezzo was able to use her platform as valedictory speaker to share her background with her classmates.

“It was a very personal moment.

I spoke about my backstory: being adopted and talking about the experience and being able to appreciate what I have,” she remembered. “I came from a very underprivileged place so I spoke about that. I thought it was a very enlightening moment for me and, I think, for my classmates, as well.”

At the end of the speech, Zezzo received the first standing ovation that anyone can remember at a CB West graduation. It was a fitting cap to a standout career on and off the field.

Super Chevy Show

Bill Hahn: Motorsports News and Notes

A Blast for local students Three Tinicum Elementary School students were members of the Ukrainian Nationals Zoria Blast, the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; U10 soccer team that won second place in its age level at Beach Blast, held June 28 and 29 in Wildwood, N.J. Beach Blast is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest beach soccer tournament. Hosted by the Cape Expess Soccer Club, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event drew more than 1,000 teams and some 25,000 players and spectators. Zoria Blast was the only one of 56 U10 teams to hold opponents scoreless in every game leading to the finals. Team members are: Sammy Glazar (Erwinna), Matteo Infante, Kaelin Costello (Upper Black Eddy), Christopher Hackley (Ottsville), Graiden Carter, Alec Seserko and Chris Marinos.

The thing that thousands of racers and fans go to every summer at Maple Grove Raceway is the Super Chevy Show, and my son Bill and I were no exception. The only added element was the heat and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overrated with temps in the 90s and with the heat index at 150-plus the track officials did a great job keeping the show on track.

We were in the swap meet at the TotalChevy.com booth only 50 feet from the track and you could hear the motors struggling to make horsepower in the high humidity. Some did well and some did not. More than 600 race cars took part in the program, with the Northeast Outlaw Pro-Mods the fastest on times. Fred Scriba in his 1963 Corvette was the top qualifier with a pass of 6.11 seconds at 235 mph. Also on hand were the Jet Cars, including the new Queen of Diamonds driven by Jill Canuso who rocked the joint at close to 300 mph. Also part of the show was the famous Bowtie Boulevard Car Show and Shine, which had more than 200 entries. The swap meet and collector car nation had all the hard-to-find hot rods and the parts to make them sweet. Thanks to the folks at Super Chevy who worked long hours to make it happen.

While we were out at Maple Grove, a lot of you were at Williams Grove for the World of Outlaws Morgan Cup

SUNNY MONEY.

Szekelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had quite a year Continued from page B1

requirements at a USA Swimmingsanctioned meet in Michigan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that I was even in the top 50 was surprising to me. It was awesome. I really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain about that.â&#x20AC;?

Szekely would like to return to the Olympic Trials, which will again be held in Omaha in 2016. The best of the best will move on to the Olympic Summer Games that August in Rio de Janeiro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope so,â&#x20AC;? Szekely said of landing a coveted spot among the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming elite at the 2016 Olympic Trials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be nice, but I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making the times a lot faster. So I hope I would be able to swim faster and make times.â&#x20AC;?

In March, Szekely won a Pennsylvania gold medal in the Class AA 200 IM. Her state-record time of 1:59.66 (previous record 2:00.48) gave her the title over runner-up Mia Nonnenberg, a junior from Scranton Prep, who touched the wall in 2:00.41. Szekely, then a freshman at Gwynedd Mercy Academy, grabbed silver in the 100 breaststroke, too, losing only to Wilmington sophomore Lauren Barber, 1:02.63 to 1:02.92. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have goals heading into the season,â&#x20AC;? Szekely said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just hoping to swim fast throughout the year and be able to make the state meet, which was awesome. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what to expect [at states]. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get my best times, but it was still a lot of fun and it was awesome just to be able to go to states and everything with my team.â&#x20AC;?

Szekely, Fanny Chapman head coach Carey Lever said, is the ultimate team player and a good person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? Lever said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phenomenally talented. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond

what you typically see in a swimming league as far as her skill. But all-around as a person, she has an amazing work ethic, amazing personality, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modest, humble, thoughtful, great sportsmanship. She is a rare, amazing entity.â&#x20AC;?

Even Szekely admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to soak in all her accomplishments of the past year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone by pretty fast, but it was pretty awesome just to have so many different experiences in one year; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, at the same time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

Rugby to host match On Sunday, July 28, the Doylestown U15 boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team will host Westhill Academy from Aberdeen, Scotland for a U15 rugby match. The match will be played at the Maennerchor Field on Cold Spring Creamery Road in Doylestown, which is the Doylestown home pitch. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

The match is open to the public, and there is no charge for admission.

In other news, the Doylestown Rugby Club had five teams participate in the Surfside Sevens tournament in Stone Harbor, N.J., on July 20. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, the U19 girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team and the U15 boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team all took second place in their divisions. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and the U19 boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team also competed well in their divisions.

Championship, and North Dakotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Donny Schatz won the 2013 Morgan Cup and the $15,000 that went with it. Schatz had to hold off Greg Hodnett in the closing laps for the win. Former NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart was on hand and finished 14th in his Sprint Car. Lance DeWease was the Dash for Cash winner. I was surprised by the big names who did not make the feature, Steve Kinser, Steve Smith and Tim Kaeding, just to name a few.

Six Girl Scouts from Junior Troop 258 in the Palisades Service Unit received the Junior Girl Scout Bronze Award.

The Bronze Award is the highest recognition a Junior Girl Scout can achieve.

The girls started working toward the award over a year ago by completing a Junior Girl Scout Journey. Last year, as part of their Journey, they created a video about stereotypes which they presented at their school assembly.

Then, throughout this school year, the girls spent countless hours designing, creating and implementing their Bronze Award project.

They put together two projects to benefit children at the Children's Hospital at Lehigh Valley Hospital to help brighten the young patients’ days and make their stays more pleasant. The girls made friendship bracelet kits, including a link to an instructional video they created on how to make a friendship bracelet, and they also put their sewing skills to use by making handmade pillowcases. They wrapped up their project by visiting Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest to present their gifts.

Members of Junior Girl Scout Troop 258 hold up friendship bracelet kits and pillowcases they made for children at the Children's Hospital at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

Advice & Advocacy for the Older Adult WHY YOU NEED ADVICE FROM AN ELDER LAW ATTORNEY Medicare nursing home coverage has been strictly limited to “improving patients only, a policy that made the 100 day nursing home coverage for many an illusory benefit.

However, in a recent class action lawsuit by elder law attorneys, CMS The federal agency administering Medicare agreed to change its policy. Beginning January 31, 2013, Medicare will cover nursing or therapy services that require the skills of a qualified professional in either a skilled nursing facility, home health, or outpatient setting.

DINING IN Susan S. Yeske: Recipe of the Month

This is the best time for field-grown tomatoes At Hamilton’s Grill Room in Lambertville, N.J., putting tomatoes in the refrigerator is so forbidden that it’s almost a firing offense.

“Refrigeration ruins tomatoes,” explains executive chef Mark Miller, who was offering samples of his tomato salad with blue cheese and Dijon vinaigrette on a recent Saturday at the Wrightstown Farmers Market.

“Never, ever put tomatoes in the refrigerator,” he underscored, explaining that chilling them robs them of their flavor and destroys their texture.

The region’s cool and often wet spring slightly delayed the tomato season this year, so Miller was happy that local tomatoes were finally arriving at the restaurant.

Visitors to the market were equally happy to sample his easy tomato salad topped with a simple dressing of one part red wine vinegar to two parts good olive oil with enough Dijon mustard to emulsify the dressing. Crumbled blue cheese and an anchovy were the finishing touches for the salad.

This is the best time of the summer for those of us who love local field-grown tomatoes for their ripe, summery flavor and texture.

year. The resulting tomatoes are not perfectly round, often are quite lumpy and come in unexpected colors such as purple, magenta and green, or with stripes. Each has a distinct flavor, often more intense than the more familiar round, red tomatoes that have been bred for color and shape.

This recipe is from pictureperfectmeals.com. You don’t have to use plum tomatoes; substitute any tomatoes you like.

Heirloom tomatoes like these for sale by Blooming Glen Farm at the Wrightstown Farmers Market, were grown from seeds that were passed down through generations.

Farmers throughout the area have begun the harvest that peaks under August’s bright sunshine, then continues into the autumn.

It’s a time to eat plenty of justpicked tomatoes served alongside fresh, local corn on the cob or added to crunchy salads, soups and sauces.

America’s love affair with tomatoes goes back a long time,

but probably got its biggest boost in 1897 when Campbell Soup Co. began making condensed tomato soup. More recently it got another popularity lift when it was determined that lycopene, which is found in tomatoes, is a powerful antioxidant. Nutritionally, tomatoes also are high in vitamin C and contain potassium, iron, phosphorus and vitamins A and B. A medium tomato contains about 35 calories.

While most of us are familiar with traditional round, red tomatoes, in recent years heirloom varieties have become popular.

Their heirloom designation comes from the fact that their seeds have never been crossbred.

Many are the descendants of seeds that European immigrants brought with them when they came to the United States. Each season they would save seeds and dry them to plant the following

Ernest Valtri: On Wine

You can always rely on the “old standby” Having an “old standby” wine you can always rely on is just wonderful. Kind of like that favorite old sweatshirt you’re so comfortable with on a cool fall day.

There’s no effort or need to worry about the food and wine pairing because it’s just you, your significant other, and a pizza (or burger, hoagie, leftovers, whatever). The rules about what wine goes with which food are important, valuable and very much worth knowing, but also occasionally fun to ignore.

What’s life without a little rule breaking now and then?

The favorite “house pour” in our home for many years has been Marietta Cellars’ Old Vine Red from Sonoma, Calif. It’s a blend of mostly zinfandel and petite sirah, though the winemakers are not inclined to reveal their entire secret. It yields a dry, fruity and exuberant red wine that’s full bodied, chewy and dense … and a great value at

$11.99.

Ideally I’d match Old Vine Red with a steak or barbecued meats, but we often break the rules just for fun and have it with nearly anything. Sure, it doesn’t go with seafood or salad or lots of other things, but there are those times when it just doesn’t matter.

We enjoy Jacob’s Creek Moscato as our white “house pour.” This Australian import is a bit sweet yet retains a lightness that lends itself to summer time.

Again, we sometimes have it with foods not typically associated with such a wine (and again, it just feels good to sometimes break the rules). And at $8.99, it’s well worth the gamble.

If you’re well versed regarding food and wine pairings, consider this notion of not going by the book all the time. I’ve been pleasantly surprised more times than I can remember doing this.

And regardless of your expertise, always have a bottle or two of your tried and true “old standby” on hand for whenever you get the urge.

She searched and searched for the perfect roll that would be an upscale version of those you find when you eat lobster rolls in Maine. She finally found it at Brooklyn Bread, which supplies all of the Grill Room’s lunchtime breads.

Loos’ crab and citrus salad has been on the menu almost since her arrival, a combination of jumbo lump crabmeat, oranges, grapefruit and avocado. Recently she has been finishing it with herb vinaigrette, but that also has changed over the months.

Jazz Academy in gear for performance at Havana The Jazz Academy begins its fourth season at Solebury School this Sunday, when notable faculty from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as well as a roster of accomplished volunteers return to campus to inspire students.

One of the highlights of the week-long program is performing at Havana in New Hope. All are welcome to attend the event at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, July 31.

Jazz Academy is the shared vision of Jamal Dickerson, band director from Creative Arts High School in Camden, N.J., and Peggy Krist of the Jonathan D. Krist Foundation. Students from the inner city and rural Bucks County come together for a week of intense musical instruction, life skills seminars and fun.

They are taught by Oberlin faculty, and visiting guest artists, as well as students from the conservatory

(some of whom are graduates of Creative Arts High School).

Through Teach2Serve, they are also exposed to leaders in the NGO/nonprofit sector to help understand their role as agents of social change.

Role modeling is key to the Jazz Academy’s success. When high school students from the inner city have a chance to experience a college-like environment on Solebury School’s 90-acre campus they tend to rethink their future too. They learn by example.

They see that hard work and persistence made a difference for their older peers. They begin to believe that a college education is within reach and the first step out of poverty.

This May, under the leadership of Jamal Dickerson, the jazz band from Creative Arts won the NJAJE Division 1 State Finals Competition. In a city where the

high school dropout rate is 90 percent, the Creative Arts Jazz Band program, which includes Jazz Academy, uses music as a tool to pull students from the abyss and help them cross the graduation finish line.

Countering the Master of BeBop, Barry Harris, with some of the 2012 students from the Jazz Academy city’s reputaat Solebury School. Last August Harris led a full-day workshop, sharing the harmonic tion, Creative tempos of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Bud Powell with the students.

Theater salutes Broadway’s leading African American men Bristol Riverside Theatre presents “Ol’ Man River,” through July 28, as part of its Summer Musicale series.

“Ol’ Man River” pays homage to Broadway’s African American leading men and the shows that made them famous. The tribute includes songs from “Show Boat,”

“Ragtime,” “Pippin’,” “Porgy and Bess,” and “Man of La Mancha.”

The evening features charismatic, smooth-voiced baritone Keith Spencer, accompanied by Keith Baker and the BRT Concert Band.

Spencer is a veteran of the BRT stage and has performed as a guest

artist for several local groups, including the Chamber Arts Guild, Abington Choral Club and the Quakertown Concert Band.

He was in the Broadway tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Music of the Night.”

Spencer has also sung concert

back-up vocals for legendary recording artists, such as Roberta Flack, Rosemary Clooney and Sandi Patty.

He was a semi-finalist in the American Traditions Competition in Savannah, Ga., and a featured soloist in Walt Disney World’s pre-

mier a cappella ensemble, “Voices of Liberty,” in Orlando, Fla. Tickets begin at $30 ($10 for students) and are available by calling the BRT Box Office at 215-7850100 or visiting brtstage.org.

Bristol Riverside Theatre is located at 120 Radcliffe St., Bristol.

Foodshed Alliance postpones potluck meal The Bucks County Foodshed Alliance has postponed the Aug. 7 visit to Villa Milagro Vineyards in Finesville, N.J., and the associated potluck meal.

Contact 215-598-3979 or the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance web site.

BCP stage for the first time, have years of theater experience, and bring it all to this show. The singing is outstanding, and the harmonies are even better. The show is well-suited for children.

Grace Capeless, who plays “Rosie,” is a fiery little diva, and is

not afraid to show it. Her vocals are beautiful, and her acting owns the audience. While there is no plot, there is a thread of continuity as Rosie, the leader of the pack, persuades her friends to get them to do stuff they normally might not do.

Her fellow cast members, such as Reese Diaz playing Pierre, Kevin Dolan playing Johnny, and Molly McQuoid playing Kathy, also are fantastic actors and singers. Their interactions with each other are priceless; they do not just say their lines, they mean them.

It is interesting to see how all of the props incorporated into the show are used to fit the needs of

the different scenes and vivid imaginations of the characters.

The other fine performers are Holden Brettell as Alligator; Riley Bultemeier, ensemble; August Fegley, ensemble; Oakes Fegley, Chicken Soup; Sherlana Forgenie, ensemble; Cole Mathewson, ensemble; Grace Matwijec, ensem-

Throughout the 1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, and into the beginning of this century, New Hope photographer laureate Rosen (1923-2006) was one of the focal points of the Bucks County area’s photography scene. Known for his primarily black and white photos of people and events in Bucks County, and in New Hope in particular, Rosen could often be seen in town with one camera around his neck, another strapped to his wrist, and often a third camera in his pocket or other hand.

While he would no doubt scoff at the “photographer laureate” title, Jack was known on occasion to refer to himself as “… New Hope’s oldest street walker.”

“We’ll be showing and offering an unusual variety of Jack’s work, with photos from all over his photographic timeline,” Rick Rosen, the photographer’s son, says. “There’s a substantial number of black and white prints

signed and printed by Jack, matted and framed pieces, some color photography, a bunch of interesting oneof-a-kind pieces, a few Jack collectibles, and more. This is definitely one for Jack Rosen fans.”

John Larsen is the owner of John & Peter’s in New Hope and husband of the late Robin Larsen, founder of the New Hope Arts Center. Larsen was Rosen’s New Hope best friend and photographic colleague for decades.

His photographs are known and loved throughout the area.

Feuerstein was an intimate friend and photographic colleague of Rosen from the 1960s. His work includes photos of folk musicians, is largely unknown and will be shown at the New Hope Arts Center for the first time in decades.

Rosen’s grandson, Orrell, is an inventive and creative artist, who learned much from his grandfather, and, many believe, inherited his grandfather’s photographic eye.

The photographs of Sharon Marcello LaRossa, a Rosen friend

since high school days, show our planet and its inhabitants at their most colorful and astounding.

The first weekend’s festivities include an Aug. 2 reception beginning at 7 p.m., featuring a showing of the 1997 Closely Watched Films Inc. video “Jack Rosen: Portrait of a Photographer,” produced by Lisa Chouteau and Gina Weber, and presented at 8 p.m.

An Emmy Award–winning televi-

sion producer, Chouteau was senior producer for one of the longest-running Public Television series, “Caucus: New Jersey with Steve Adubato.” Lisa resides in New Hope with her husband, Marcel, and son, Henry.

Weekend number two kicks off with an Aug. 9 reception beginning at 7 p.m., with music from members of the male a cappella group Cordus Mundi, directed by photographer Rosen’s son, the group’s founder and artistic director.

"We are thrilled to honor Jack Rosen whose stature in New Hope is

legend to those who know and remember,” says New Hope Arts Center Executive Director Carol Cruickshanks. “This family album is for all of us, even those who never knew Jack but love where we live and work. Jack embraced all of us, known and unknown, in his vision and his mission was to share that viewpoint."

Basic show hours for both weeks are: 7-10 p.m. Friday; 11 a.m.- 9 p.m.

Saturday; 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday; Monday-Thursday by appointment.

Surrealist painter brings Nebraska to Bucks Patrick McNabb, a Bucks County native who was back in town visiting in-laws, presented a one-night exhibit of some of his recent surrealist paintings at the Steam Pub in Southampton June 24.

Featured were paintings reflecting McNabb’s life in western Nebraska. As the intensity of light increased, the paintings continually illuminated new hidden aspects.

Stencils, brushwork and aerosol paint worked with a specially prepared reflective background to wow the packed audience.

Georgia O’Keefe-like, desert skull images came to life with light effects capable of crazy psychedelic emissions when blasted with the dance floor strobe lights.

McNabb’s “Pavement Ends” Art Extravaganza featured more than a dozen works of art.

Artist Patrick McNabb featured internally light produced paintings at his Steam Pub “Pavement Ends” Art Extravaganza.

Jeanne Chesterton is the featured artist in a solo exhibit of her paintings at the Bucks County Visitor Center, 3207 Street Road, Bensalem, July 28 to Sept. 6, with an opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 28.

In “Tradition Refocused,” the artist continues to explore the beauty of commonplace objects in the realistic style for which she is known.

Charmed by surface patinas, worn surfaces and the scars of usage, the artist enjoys painting objects that bear these marks of distinction, all the while considering a new stage for their presentation. Her paintings suggest a new way of looking at things, a refocusing on the traditional.

The Visitor Center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For information, call 800-836-2825.

A sweeping look at Silverman Gallery’s paintings collection, displayed floor-to-ceiling and wall-towall, is presented in “Side-bySide,” on view Aug. 3 through Sept.

28, with a public opening from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10.

In this densely hung exhibit, visitors will encounter erratic juxtapositions of more than 175 works of the Buckingham gallery’s four artists.

The salon-style “hang” was inspired by the regular exhibition of the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture, which began in 1667 in Paris. In order to

Noteworthy

Fun Fieldz, founded by Jonathan Retano and Dante Parenti last May, can bring just about any ballfield to life.

n

Play ball!

Fun Fieldz brings Major League Baseball home David Campbell Imagine having an iconic stadium from baseball’s glory days erected in your backyard. It’s not as farfetched as it may sound.

Sure, the playing field may be smaller, there may not be thousands of fans looking on from the stands and the competitors are handed a wiffleball and bat, but the experience is second to none, Jonathan Retano and Dante Parenti said.

“People really have to experience it or see it to get the full impact of what we’re trying to bring,” said Retano, who launched Fun Fieldz last spring with partners Aaron “Drake” Keller and Parenti. “It helps adults reconnect with their childhood and it teaches children how to just go out, have fun and play ball outside, kind of like what I used to do and what Dante used to do when we were kids.

“Kids don’t really play outside like they used to.

We’re trying to get kids outside and involved in active play, by making it more fun and over the top.”

Although Fun Fieldz can accommodate a host of sports requests, including soccer and a football field goal challenge, its specialty is wiffleball. The field will be scaled to fit the space and comes complete with distance markers, foul poles, chalked lines, a U.S. flag pole and the necessities (balls, bats, etc.).

“We’re selling an experience,” Retano said. “It has the game, the sights, the sounds, the music, everything all wrapped into one package. It has to be authentic looking, it has to be mobile and it also has to be wind resistant.”

If a customer requests to play ball in Boston’s Fenway Park, Fun Fieldz delivers a miniature Fenway highlighted by a Green Monster in leftfield.

“It’s unique and different,” Retano said. “I think kids have a great virtual experience today with Blu-ray, video games, computer games and iPads, but the real world-life experience of having two guys bring a replica Green Monster right to their house… That kid’s going to get their very own ballpark right in their yard. I really believe in what we have here.”

Retano and Parenti stumbled onto the idea for Fun Fieldz while on a “mancation” in August 2011 in Worcester Township. Retano set up a wiffleball field.

“We had so much fun,” Parenti said. “I looked at Jonathan and said, ‘We can’t be the only ones out there

First Federal of Bucks County announced William Boyce, top, has been promoted to executive vice president – chief financial officer; Robert Coffin, middle, to executive vice president – chief risk officer; and Derek P.B. Warden to executive vice president – chief lending officer.

Boyce joined First Federal of Bucks County as senior vice president and chief financial officer in October 2009. Before that, he was chief financial officer of Huntingdon Valley Bank, served as controller of Prime Bank in Philadelphia and held various positions in the Philadelphia office of KPMG. Coffin, who was senior vice president, chief credit officer and corporate secretary, joined First Federal of Bucks County in 1980 and the lending team in 1983.

He started his banking career in 1978 at New Hope Savings. A lifelong resident of Bucks County, he has served as chairman of the Lower Bucks Chapter of the American Red Cross and chairman of the Red Cross homeless shelter and is active in local scholarship and community service projects with the Bristol Lions club.

Warden has been in the commercial banking business for the past 30 years. For the last 17 years, he has worked in the business banking and commercial lending areas of banks in both management and chief lending officer positions. He joined First Federal of Bucks County in June 2010.

who would like this. This really looks like a great opportunity for a potential business.’ ” Retano said: “I’ve been doing this sort of thing, just for fun, for the past couple years, bringing my gear, so to speak, to barbecues, picnics, functions that my wife’s family had, just to add a little bit of fun and excitement. And when Dante kind of saw what I’ve been doing, he was bugging me for a couple months. He was like, ‘Hey, we can turn this into a business,’ so finally, last May, we decided to give it a go and see if we could make something of this.”

Retano, a resident of West Norriton, and Parenti, of East Norriton, may live outside of Bucks County, but they’re committed, they said, to serving their neighbor to the east. The two founders of Fun Fieldz described throwing a birthday party in Chalfont recently and took part in A-Day at Delaware Valley College in April.

“We’re really working hard perfecting our product, we’re working hard on perfecting our brand,” Parenti said. “These next couple years we’re going to make sure that we get all the ingredients just right so that we have a great product that provides the perfect experience, a real unique experience.”

Parenti and Retano are both fathers. Parenti has an 8year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son, while Retano is blessed with a 6-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter.

Fun Fieldz is neither man’s full-time gig: Parenti works in product development, while Retano is entrenched in the pharmaceutical industry. But Retano can envision a scenario where Fun Fieldz becomes his career.

Fun Fieldz isn’t just for children, either, Retano pointed out. Wiffleball is great, he said, for bachelor parties and corporate events. He added: “Who wouldn’t want to strike out their boss with a great curveball?”

It’s also an opportunity, Parenti said, for parents and children to interact with one another outdoors, not going about their lives heading in different directions.

“I think a lot of kids today don’t get the experience outside,” he said. “They get the experience inside playing video games. But when we were kids we went outside and used our imagination, and we were at Yankee Stadium or we were at Fenway Park.”

With Fun Fieldz, Parenti and Retano said they’re hoping to turn imagination into reality. dcampbell@buckscountyherald.com

Virginia S. Grubb (nee Young Steele) of Smith’s Corner, Pipersville, Plumstead Township, Bucks County, passed away peacefully in her home on July 18. She was 83 years of age.

Born in Philadelphia to George James Steele and Florence Young Steele in 1930, Virginia was a proud graduate of Philadelphia High School for Girls (1947); the University of Pennsylvania, College of Women (1951) and Graduate School of Education (1954).

Virginia spent many of her early years at Camp Hagan in the Delaware Water Gap where she was both a counselor and head of the waterfront.

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, she took a position as a chemistry teacher with Springfield High School in Delaware County, where she eventually became Chairperson of the department.

After spending time raising her children, Virginia returned to teaching as a long-term substitute at both Upper Dublin and Abington High Schools.

Virginia was a tireless supporter of higher education, public radio and television, conservation of our planet, and most dearly, animal welfare causes.

Youth on mission trip work to make life better Jodi Spiegel Arthur Kendra Kramer spent the first week of July giving children at summer camp piggyback rides, helping them make beaded bracelets and teaching them about music.

The camp in Two Strike on a Lakota reservation in south central South Dakota, where signs of extreme poverty are everywhere, was a long way from Kramer’s comfortable home in Bucks County.

The 18-year-old graduate of Pennridge High School, who plans to study music education at Moravian College in Bethlehem, was part of a group of 111, mostly teens and young adults, on a service mission organized by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The synod includes Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and Philadelphia counties.

In addition to working at the camp, group members participated from July 1 through 5 in repair and construction projects, and dished out meals at a soup kitchen. They also had an opportunity to experience a Pow Wow, and to do some traveling to places including Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial, before and after their service on the reservation.

“That was a very humbling experience,” Jason Renner, 16, a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Quakertown, said of working at the soup kitchen. “We were handing out the food to the kids, and they wouldn’t take it because they wanted to make sure their family had some … That’s not something you see around here.”

Molly Beck Dean, assistant to the bishop and youth ministry specialist for the synod, who oversees the planning of the trips to the Rosebud Reservation every couple of years, said the poverty on the reservation is unlike anything most of the mission participants have ever seen.

“It’s a Third World poverty,”

she said. “Here, there isn’t the realization that this kind of poverty exists.”

Dean, who is originally from North Dakota, said it takes the youth participating in the mission a couple of days before they can even talk about it. When they do, they say they’ve taken for granted things like having a bathroom, or heat in their houses, she said.

“Their situation makes me sad,” said Kramer, a member of PeaceTohickon Lutheran Church in Perkasie, who was on her second trip to the reservation.

“Definitely, you can tell they live in poverty. You walk them home, and you see all the stray dogs. That’s hard to watch, but you also feel really great about how you were able to love these kids and just be able to give them a free meal and have fun with them for a week, so that maybe they forget whatever they have to go home to, however bad it might be.”

Dean said the mission is about the Christian calling to serve ones neighbor, as well as cultural learning about the history of the Native Americans and their current day joys and struggles.

She said it is important for the participants to learn what brought the reservation residents to this point and to have “ribbons of hope” and good news because witnessing such poverty can be so depressing.

“The Native Americans aren’t any different from us,” Kramer said. “Sometimes, how we’ve treated them hasn’t exactly been fair. We need to keep working to correct that.”

Leah Fitchett, 16, a rising junior at Pennsbury High School and a member of the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Yardley, said she helped prepare a camp, where youth come to learn about

their culture.

Dean said the Milks Camp is a place where teens recovering from substance abuse problems can “get away from it all.”

Fitchett painted signs, while other volunteers repaired fences, chopped thistle, renovated an amphitheater and completed other construction and repair projects.

“I really liked meeting with and talking with the owner of the camp,” Fitchett said. She said she particularly enjoyed learning about the Lakota culture from the

owner and her nephews.

“It was an awesome experience,” Fitchett said.

Dean said the servant trips,

organized with work assignments through the Tree of Life Relief Agency, a Methodist organization located on the reservation and employing members of the tribe, are service, rather than conversion, oriented. She said most Lakota are either Christian, due to the influence of past missionaries, or practice a combination of the Lakota and Christian faiths.

“We’re there to learn and share our love of Christ through our deeds,” Dean said, adding, “That’s a pretty strong belief of our branch of the Lutheran church.”

Renner, a rising junior at Southern Lehigh High School in Center Valley, said he enjoyed discussing faith with the Lakota, including learning about their beliefs.

He said the trip allowed him to grow spiritually.

“I don’t consider myself the most faithful Christian, but this really helped me answer a lot of questions,” he said.

Dean said other participants have been similarly affected.

“Every time I go, I’m still surprised and just taken aback and blessed by how transformational it’s been for people,” she said.

“Kids grow in their own faith and develop a different understanding of their place as Christians in the world.” jarthur@buckscountyherald.com.

Barbara Postel of Point Pleasant was awarded Best of Show at the Tinicum Arts Festival for her oil painting, “Delaware River Canal.”

The New York City native moved to Point Pleasant in 1972, after winning several painting fellowships, including the McDowell Traveling award from the Art Students League.

Her Bucks County and Lambertville, N.J., solo exhibitions included the 1974 Stover Mill, The 1988 Genest Gallery, and the Artists Pyramid Studio Gallery which she designed and built.

For the last 20 years the artist has been obsessed painting waterfalls; Angel Falls, along with two hidden Point Pleasant waterfalls, are the subject of many of her paintings. Geddes Run, on the downside of the cliffs from the home she shares with her husband, Carlos Guerrero, has been another favorite subject.

The Tinicum Civic Association announced the award-winning artists in the 64th Tinicum Arts Festival’s Art Barn exhibit, held at Tinicum Park, Erwinna, July 13 and 14. A total of 190 artists participated. The judges were plein air painter John Schmidtberger of Frenchtown, N.J., and photographer Cindi Sathra of Upper Black Eddy.

Awards and honorable mentions were given in seven categories. They are as follows.

Acrylics: first place, Carol Harrison, “Grandma Kelly’s Kitchen

Perkasie Dog Park closes for a day Perkasie Dog Park will be closed for the day on Saturday, July 27, for the installation of agility equipment.

Jennifer Shepherd:

The Cosmic Informer Week of Thursday, July 25 - Wednesday, July 31, 2013 Aries: (March 21 – April 19) This is a good time to challenge yourself to try lots of new things. Taking risks will pay off.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) A love relationship is going through some changes.

Don’t be too worried about this. Go with the flow.

Gemini: (May 21 – June 20) You’re in a social mood. Crash a neighborhood party or a backyard barbecue. Get out there and meet people.

Cancer: (June 21 – July 22) It’s time to be more assertive. If you’ve been putting off submitting resumes or applying for jobs, go for it now.

Leo: (July 23 – August 22) Make a fresh start. You might want to begin a new diet

plan or put a different exercise regimen in place.

Virgo: (August 23 – September 22) It’s time to resume projects that you had put on hold for several weeks. You’ll feel clearer and more focused.

Libra: (September 23 – October 22) Don’t remain in a situation that has become too toxic for you. Look after yourself more.

Scorpio: (October 23 – November 21) You’re going to have fun if you attend a concert, see a show, or get together with friends. Don’t stay stuck at home.

Sagittarius: (November 22 – December 21) Pay careful attention to those little details. You could be distracted, and it’s

likely you could miss something important.

Capricorn: (December 22 – January 19) Let go of projects or dreams that are no longer realistic. Focus on attaining more probable goals.

Aquarius: (January 20 – February 18) People might not understand you this week. If you’re on the receiving end of criticism, don’t take it too personally.

Pisces: (February 19 – March 20) Be patient when it comes to sorting out your love life. Don’t get involved with unnecessary melodrama.

Jean and Bill Brenner: Review

“Something Intangible” explores the recent past Once again, Langhorne Players in Tyler Park is presenting an interesting and somewhat unusual play, “Something Intangible.”

Set in the early 1940s, the two-act comedy is the story of two brothers with very different personalities who own a Hollywood movie studio.

One brother, Tony Wiston, is a creative genius. His cartoon character, “Petey Pup,” appears in every short film in the same green pants with large buttons and has captured the imagination of worldwide movie-watchers who need escape from the problems of world war.

Dale Wiston is the practical brother. The CFO of the Wiston Movie Studio, he raises money while trying unsuccessfully to control his brother’s spending.

As the play unfolds, Tony is looking for an expensive new venture – something he wants to do in a movie, but he cannot quite imagine or verbalize his thoughts. It is “something intangible,” he says.

But, during a concert he is attending, he becomes enamored with the music, seeing colors associated with the notes of the music – vivid colors – dancing in his head to the music.

He begins to imagine a film showing colors moving rhythmically to the music.

Tony becomes obsessed with producing this movie, this time without

Petey Pup. But backers will not give his brother and him the necessary money unless Petey Pup actually appears in this movie. Petey Pup sells tickets. He is the draw for the studio.

Money talks, and finally, the film, “Grandioso,” is completed … with Petey Pup. Dale Wiston is the leading character in this play. He is the one who manipulates his brother when necessary, who raises the money, who deals (off stage) with his wife and learning-disabled child. He is the one who visits a psychiatrist to whom he bares his soul (and thus helps along the exposition of the show).

“Something Intangible,” while fictional, is based loosely on Walt Disney and his brother, Roy, and offers some thoughts about the creative processes behind the making of the film, “Fantasia.” It offers an interesting look at the conflicts between polar opposite brothers, creative impulses versus practicality and art versus commerce.

Written by Delaware County native, Bruce Graham, “Something Intangible” premiered in 2009, at the Arden Theatre in Old City, Philadelphia.

Langhorne Players productions seldom fail to be well cast and ably directed. This is no exception. Nigel Rogers, successful with his adopted

American accent for this role, develops a solid and sympathetic portrayal of Dale Wiston, a frustrated “bean counter.”

Tim Kirk has come up with a wild, larger-than-life Tony Wiston.

However, there are many times when he is almost too manic, ricocheting around the stage, delivering lines in a booming staccato voice that is over-the-top and often difficult to listen to as he punctuates every third or fourth syllable in his delivery.

In contrast, Kimberly Hess as the intelligent psychiatrist, “Sonia,” is quiet, calm, and controlled as she tries to help Dale sort out his feelings about his brother.

Joe Mattern, while on stage just a few times, is believable in the role of Doc Partelli the Wiston financial backer. Also acceptable is William McGuire, making his LP debut in the small supporting role of Leo Baxter.

And then, there is Sheldon Bruce Zeff portraying with gusto the largerthan-life orchestra conductor, Gustav Von Meyerhoff. “Call me Huffy,” he says. Zeff’s professional stage experience is notable, including his performance as Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof” six times. Most recently, he directed “The Kingfisher” at Langhorne Players.

The cast of “Something Intangible” for the Langhorne Players production includes, from left: sitting, Sheldon Bruce Zeff, Joe Mattern, William McGuire; standing, Kimberly Hess, Nigel Rogers, Timothy Kirk.

Elliot Simmons recently was on stage at LP in the leading role of “The Kingfisher.” This time he is directing – his 14th time. The pace he sets for the show is good; he has cast and directed some interesting, believable characters.

As usual, Ken Junkin’s set design works well, permitting three acting areas on the limited stage of the intimate mill theater. Lighting design by

Bob Beaucheane is appropriate and important because frequent scene transitions are denoted only with lighting.

“Something Intangible” through July 27. Ticket prices vary. Contact the box office at 215-860-0818 or the Langhorne Players web site.

The Langhorne Players theater is at Spring Garden Mill on Route 332 (1440 Newtown-Richboro Road).

Realtors collect backpacks for new school year Prudential Fox & Roach Realtors and The Trident Group are sponsoring their eighth annual Backpack Drive, from July 22 through 26, collecting backpacks filled with school supplies and other personal items.

Fox & Roach Charities is coordinating the project with the company’s sales associates and employees and partnering with Five Below and Cradles to Crayons. Donations of backpacks and school supplies are welcome. They can be dropped off at local offices.
