Proven Innovation. A Lifetime of Experience in a Life-Saving Moment Right now, if you were having a heart attack, which hospital would you choose? When you choose PinnacleHealth, know that we have studied and practiced our procedures, orchestrating every movement. The result – we consistently treat patients faster than the ACC/AHA’s1 standard of 90 minutes from the ER door to opening your blocked artery, identified as Code STEMI. We are better than “good.” In fact, we’re a Top 100 Cardiac Hospital in the nation2 and the first hospital in Central PA to be recognized as an accredited chest pain center3. We’ve achieved these recognitions by a relentless effort to improve our procedures. We are as committed to tomorrow as we have been to today – to every heart, to every life. 1

hese are a few of our favorite things. It’s no wonder this is also one of our favorite issues of the year to produce, as we travel the region gathering our list of great boutiques, food and fun summer outings. Now in its fourth edition, our comprehensive list of “Favorite Things” is growing year by year. This year’s list once again includes some Susquehanna Valley staples (like Isaac’s Restaurant & Deli and the Hershey Theatre) as well as some off-the-beaten-path discoveries (like the Gardener of Owl Valley and Dynamite Dill pickles). Don’t miss this year’s roundup, beginning on page 53. With the success of social media websites like Facebook, we decided to keep the conversation interactive and ongoing and give you— our readers—more chances to discuss “Your Favorite Things.” Just go to www.facebook. com/susquehannastyle and join the conversation with other readers about your favorite coffeehouse, theater, kids’ outing, bar scene and more! We also hope you’ll consider trying “Our Favorite Things” Passport program (see page 52 for details) and making an effort to visit and support the many unique local businesses we’ve featured through the years. Food enthusiasts have often commented how much they enjoy our recipe and restaurant articles. This issue’s “Food File” won’t disappoint (page 92). Bricco restaurant executive chef Jason Viscount paired up with Harrisburg couple Brenda and Tony Pascotti to host a delightful dinner party, designed to be entirely cooked on the grill. The menu is flavorful and approachable for any home cook interested in taking summer entertaining to the next level. We also hope you won’t miss our preview of Cork & Cap, a restaurant opened recently in the Cork Factory Hotel in Lancaster. We round out this issue with our annual exploration of the private and secondary education sectors in the Susquehanna Valley. This year’s article explores how the latest technologies are finding their way into area classrooms and campuses.

With summer shore trips on the calendar and lazy afternoons in parks on the horizon, we thought, who better to ask for reading recommendations than some of the area’s independent bookstore owners? Read more about their unique shops, stories and reading recommendations at www. susquehannastyle.com. Plus get the scoop on the upcoming Book and Paper Fair in York! SAM MARCUS, The Bookworm Bookstore in Harrisburg (717-657-8563) picks: Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. More than just the story of a man on a deserted island, this novel is chock full of adventure and intrigue, including mishaps in Crusoe’s life before he was shipwrecked and the ingenuity and prowess of the life he fashions on the deserted island. JIM LEWIN of the York Emporium (717-8462866; www.theyorkemporium.com) recommends: A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. With no experience whatsoever in backpacking, travel writer Bill Bryson hikes the Appalachian Trail, and describes the hilarity and comical individuals he encounters along the way. JEFF WOOD from The Whistlestop Bookstore in Carlisle (717-243-4744 www.whistlestoppers. com) picks: The Sisters of Sinai by Janet Soskice. Twin sisters in the 1800s travel to Egypt and unearth a heavy sheaf of parchment, which one is determined is a great discovery. After more than a month of research, she reveals that they have found the earliest copy of the gospels. THE DICKENSONS of Aaron’s Books in Lititz recommend (717-627-1990; www.aaronsbooksonline.com): So Happy Together by Maryann McFadden. The story of a family that falls apart to each discover what they truly wanted in life, narrated by Claire, a middle-aged teacher and photographer with an estranged daughter who is caring for her elderly parents. AARON’S BOOKS, which specializes in children’s books, is named after the Dickensons’ son, Aaron, and his pick for this summer is: Memoirs of a Goldfish by Devin Scillian. When assorted intruders invade his personal space and bowl, Goldfish is put out, to say the least. A hilarious but poignant look at how when we wish to be alone, that may not be what we really want. This rag-tag band of fish and assorted creatures will have your child giggling right to the end.

Trail Blazers

Did you know Pennsylvania contains more than 220 miles of the nation’s most famous hiking trail? Ten years after the idea was born, the Appalachian Trail Museum has become reality. Housed in a 200-year-old stone grist mill at Pine Grove Furnace State Park, the museum is about 15 miles from Gettysburg and two miles from the halfway point on the 2,178 mile trail that stretches from Maine to Georgia. Planned museum exhibits will tell the stories of the trail, from its founding in the 1920s. “It will be a tribute to the thousands of men, women and families who have hiked and maintained the Appalachian Trail, making it arguably the most famous hiking trail in the world,” says Larry Luxenberg, president of the Appalachian Trail Museum Society . York County outdoorsman Earl Shaffer is featured in the initial exhibit displaying one of the trail shelters he built. In 1948, Shaffer became the first person to hike the Appalachian Trail in a single season. The shelter in the exhibit is one he built on Peters Mountain, PA, that was recovered in 2008. Planners are also preparing a children’s discovery area. The museum, which held its grand opening June 5, will be open on weekends in the spring and fall and five afternoons a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

inspiring estates to bask in their beauty and glean ideas for your home landscape. Three du Pont family properties in the Wilmington, Delaware, area offer a trifecta for divergent tastes: from the artfully designed production potager gardens of Hagley, to the elaborate formal French gardens of Nemours, to the decidedly naturalist American woodland gardens of Winterthur.

Often called “the first family of horticulture,” these titans of industry built famous estates and gardens as they turned the family gunpowder business into a modern chemical industry. Although many of their mansions are magnificent, the structures themselves often took a back seat to gardens outside.

HAGLEY MUSEUM AND GARDENS

North of Wilmington on Route 141 302-658-2400 | www.hagley.org Admission: $4 to $11 ($1 on Thursdays in July and August) Open daily from 9:30am to 4:30pm Patriarch E.I. du Pont built the family’s first garden in America when he settled his family business at Hagley on the banks of the Brandywine River in 1802. (The aristocratic French family fled their homeland after the Revolution.) The family’s Georgian-style mansion and gardens, Eleutherian Mills, is set high on the hill overlooking the gunpowder manufacturing enterprise. Visitors take a narrated shuttle tour through the sprawling, wooded, 230-acre property, which is refreshingly cool in the summertime thanks to the picturesque watercourses and abundant trees. Plein-air painters often have their easels set up along the river or near the multitude of early 19th-century fieldstone buildings in varying stages of ruin and restoration. The site itself is a living museum, giving a glimpse of the rise of industrial technology and early American lifestyles. History lovers can linger for black powder and steam engine demonstrations in the Powder Yard as well as a lively tour of the mill’s 1880s machine shop. In the barn, visitors can be wowed by the massive, original Conestoga wagon and take in the designs of historic DuPont Motors automobiles. Tours of the mansion reveal the tastes of the five generations of du Ponts who lived there with Empire, Federal, and Victorian periods of furnishings reflected in various room settings. The 19th century French style garden in front of the ancestral home has been authentically restored to the period of its crop growing by E. I. du Pont. The garden, while originally cultivated to provide food for the family, is artfully designed to be a feast for the senses. The most striking feature is the border planting of dwarf fruit trees trained in a regular pyramidal form, a popular French style known as en quenouille. Various garden outbuildings

installed by du Pont, including an 1811 pump and an 1817 summerhouse, have been restored and add additional structure to the garden design. Seasonal plantings of ornamentals— like hyacinths, crocuses, jonquils and trumpet narcissus in the spring and then zinnias, cardinal flowers and sunflowers followed by scarlet sage, chrysanthemums and dahlias in summer—complement the extensive beds of food crops. A row of pansies is followed by a row of beets, followed by a mounded row of sweet peas, followed by a row of strawberries. It all serves as inspiration to combine colorful food crops with ornamentals in home garden beds.

NEMOURS MANSION & GARDENS

Route 141 north of Wilmington 302-651-6912 | www.nemoursmansion.org Admission: $15 (reservations recommended, visitors must be older than 12) Open Tuesday through Saturday, tour times are 9am, noon and 3pm; Sunday tours are noon and 3pm After a recent $39 million, three-year renovation, the restored Nemours Mansion and Gardens is a spectacular example of a French chateau in the Louis XVI style. The 300-acre country estate created by Alfred I. du Pont in 1909-10 for $2 million boasts the largest formal French garden in North America. Named for the du Pont’s ancestral home in north central France, the mansion has five floors bedecked, gilded and furnished exquisitely with period antiques, curtains, rare oriental rugs and tapestries, and, of course, fine paintings, some dating back to the 15th century. What’s most fascinating about this fabulous display, however, is the basement, where an ice-making machine and a bottling apparatus allowed the estate to make ice cream and carbonated bottled water for entertaining. Other basement rooms host pursuits like shuffleboard, billiards and even a bowling alley. The revitalized neoclassical gardens are inspired by the Petit Trianon at Versailles with touches of Italian and English influences. The primary formal garden, shaped in limestone and marble and punctuated by pools and statuary, extends more than a quarter mile in one grand axis from the mansion’s front door to the Temple of Love in the distance. A series of grassy terraces step down to an 800,000-gallon oval reflecting pool once used by du Ponts for swimming and boating. Next is the maze garden, with its centerpiece, the statue “Achievement,” by

The tour continues to the massive Colonnade, built around 1930 as a monument to du Pont’s forebears in the style of the Gloriette at Schonbrunn Palace outside Vienna. Beyond that, visitors descend into the two-acre Sunken Gardens featuring a large lake and secret grottoes with the constant sound of falling water. The Temple of Love features a bronze Diana, with bow and arrow in hand, looking back to the mansion. Nearby are cannons from the USS Constitution. On a cross axis to the main formal garden are other lovely horticultural delights like the waves of flowering bulbs in the rock garden, the three garden rooms of the southern gardens, and the spectacular example of a more than 80-year-old weeping beech, which creates its own garden room in its canopy.

WINTERTHUR MUSEUM AND GARDENS Route 52 in Wilmington 302-888-4600 | www.winterthur.org Admission: $5 to $15 Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am to 5pm

Certainly Winterthur is well known as housing the world’s largest collection of Early American furniture and decorative arts. The former country estate of avid American antique collector Henry Francis du Pont, Winterthur features collections from 1640 to 1860 displayed in more than 175 period rooms in the expansive residence. Each space reflects a specific style in American history, reflected not only in the furniture, paintings and textiles, but also in the details like the glassware and porcelains. Collections from the Queen Anne, Chippendale and Federal periods are considered especially noteworthy. But this decidedly American country estate is also the home to 1,000 acres of grounds with gardens designed to reflect du Pont’s meticulous interest in horticulture. Strewn throughout the rolling landscape, tucked into forest groves, and bordering stream banks and meadows, the gardens reflect the natural landscape of the Brandywine Valley. But rather than an occasional sighting of dogwood or bluebells through the woods, du Pont has concentrated specimen plant materials in massive canopies and waves of color—breathtaking each season. For example, an entire hillside is planted only in spring bulbs and reveals itself in a March bloom en masse. In May, the eight-acre Azalea Woods come to life with a masterful blend of white, pink, red, lavender, and salmon azaleas blooming under a canopy of white oaks, tulip poplars and American beeches. Du Pont’s planting seems to only enhance and intensify the experience of the landscape rather than distract, resulting in a carefully orchestrated lyrical love song to the American countryside. A recent addition of a children’s garden, The Enchanted Woods, serves to make the garden even more magical. Although the fairy-tale setting with kid-sized thatched roof cottage and a secret hide-a-way inside a century-old tulip poplar might be aimed at the small set, it seems that adults like triptropping over the troll bridge and dancing in the fairy ring just as much.

Roofing, siding and gutters reach new heights in style & homeowner expression by M. Diane McCormick

Classic vinyl siding and asphalt shingles aren’t boring anymore. Mix and match with fashion colors, intriguing textures, green sensibilities, and durable, easy-care materials, and your home will express your personal flair. “You can jazz up the style and color of your house without spending a whole lot of money,” says Deb Kearse of Kohl Building Products.

THE SIDING STORY Remember when siding came in your choice of white, cream, or white? “Vinyl siding has come a long way,” says Kearse as she sits in Kohl’s Mechanicsburg showroom, fanning out cards showing today’s choices—hearthstone, barn red, terra cotta, Pacific blue. Mastic even custom manufactures colors according to, say, your favorite shirt or team colors. Experts agree: Vinyl siding is a popular remodeling option that’s keeping up with homeowners’ needs. Say you’re thinking about insulating inside. Stop and ask if you might be better off insulating from the outside, Kearse says. That’s because today’s vinyl sidings can come with insulation that provides efficient R values and, by providing a solid backing, stabilizes the look of the siding for years—no more waviness or buckling. Homeowners can choose between insulation adhered to the siding or “drop-in” insulation cut to fit. Keep in mind, Kearse notes, that the federal government offers energy-efficiency tax incentives for drop-in insulation but not adhered. Vinyl siding comes in designs and textures to reflect your home’s original character. Dutch lap is a popular style with the grooves that mimic classic Colonial looks, says Bud McCullough of Yorktowne Roofing & Siding, York. Mastic’s Cedar Discover line replicates Victorian-era cedar shingles, hand-split shakes, and half-round designs. Vinyl drawbacks? That perfect color is destined to fade and can’t be repainted, says Kearse. “It’s gone. It’s sun. It’s wind. It’s rain.” Fiber cement siding, including the industry-leading James Hardie brand (www.JamesHardie.com), remains popular for its distinguished look and texture. It can be stained, comes in custom colors, and doesn’t warp. But insulation isn’t an option, and it must be repainted every few years, Kearse says. For the look of natural materials without the high cost, consider veneers, such as Pennsylvania-made Ply Gem, says McCullough. “It’s used mostly to accent the front of the home when the customer wants a classy look. You can get both brick and stone designs, and it is cheaper than real brick or stone.”

ROOFING Remember when you could get any roof you liked, as long as it was asphalt shingles in black? Today, you can have functionality plus style. Create depth in your roof with a shingle laminate, also called architectural shingle, that

has smaller and larger pieces laminated in a pattern. A dark line below the overlap can add interesting shadow. Scallop the edge of a Victorian roof. Try a replica wood shake that “looks very nice and is only approximately 20 percent higher than standard-looking shingles,” or a steel shingle that imitates slate, wood, or tile, says McCullough. Choose a color that complements the home’s siding, brick, or stone.

Many homeowners installing new roofs take the opportunity to add more natural light by installing skylights “The roof is a huge accent, and this is the opportunity to make your house look different,” says Kearse. Always get a yearly inspection of your roof, says Ed Iovino, general manager of Hackman Home of Kangaroof, Elizabethtown. “Your roof is exposed to the elements seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year,” says Iovino. “It’s your largest appliance and the only one without an off switch.” When it’s time to raze the roof, consider green options. They include Carlisle Company’s EcoStar slate-replica roofing made from recycled tires. And metal or shingle roofs with longer lifespans will cost more, but they’re more environmentally friendly than 25-year roofs that will have to be replaced sooner, says Iovino. Many homeowners installing new roofs take the opportunity to green up the indoors with more natural light by installing skylights or solar tubes, such as the Velux Sun Tunnel, Iovino notes. Reflective 50-year roofs with Energy Star ratings, such as those made by GAF and CertainTeed, bounce the sun’s rays away from the attic, Iovino says. Plus, he notes, some manufacturers have a “dirty little secret” about reflectivity. In the lower-cost lines with shorter lifespans, consider the whites and off-whites that offer reflectively at no additional cost. Enhance your new roof and siding with today’s seamless gutters—they come in two dozen colors, says McCullough—and toppers that sift out leaves and can’t be seen from the street. Add trims, columns, and shutters in wood-like, maintenance-free composites. Before long, your home has a feel that’s easybreezy and a look that’s all your own. As Kearse puts it, “Everybody’s family is busier and busier, and the last thing you want to do is stay home and paint your house. SS J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0 | SUSQUEHANNA STYLE 45

You may be getting more sun than you think by Louise Barr

Summer Skin Safety

eah, yeah, you know you need to wear sunscreen at the beach. You buy your SPF 45 and dutifully slather it all over. You might even put some on your face before an afternoon tennis game. But you may be surprised at exactly how much sun exposure you’re getting and at some longstanding myths about being out in the sun that you’re holding on to. Bottom line: you 46 SUSQUEHANNA STYLE | J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0

may be getting more sun than you think. It’s not just when you’re having fun in the sun that you need to apply your sunscreen. Dr. Bruce Brod with Dermatology Associates of Lancaster says everyone needs to be aware of the sun while doing yard work, playing sports or even driving with the windows down. “Starting in the spring, and really all year, it’s best to avoid exposure during the time of intense UV rays, between 10 am and 3 pm.” Greg Forsyth, a physician’s assistant

things you probably believe about sun exposure, BUT SHOULDN’T: 1. You NEED your Vitamin D 2. All clothes block sunlight 3. You aren’t getting sun in your car 4. One application of sunscreen lasts all day 5. Tanning beds don’t use the harmful kind of light with the Center for Cosmetic Dermatology in York, agrees. “We see more damage on the left side of the body and on the backs of the hands from exposure while driving,” he says. “I advise patients to wear sunscreen daily, even in the winter.” Surprisingly, just putting sunscreen on your exposed skin may not be enough. In other words, a t-shirt is not enough. Protective clothing such as hats, especially for men and kids whose hair doesn’t cover their ears; long sleeve shirts made of tightly woven material; bandanas and scarves;

socks and big sunglasses that filter UV light are all critically helpful. Forsyth notes there are SPF garments from Sunbrella and Patagonia that are protective up to SPF 50. Now that you know you need to be covered, you need to make sure you’re covered enough. Another common belief is that sunscreen is pretty pricey so you can try to make it last. Dr. Brod says not to skimp on how much you use. In fact, your face alone needs a heaping tablespoon, and one full application equals about a shot glass full of lotion. And if you use a spray on, be sure to

rub it in. “Apply your sunscreen a half hour before you go outside,” says Forsyth. “So your body can absorb it.” Ok, you’re putting enough sunscreen on and you’re using it regularly, so one application will last all day, right? Guess again. There are three wavelengths of sunlight, UVA, B and C. UVA is a constant, penetrating deeply and playing a role in aging and skin cancer. UVB’s strength is variable, depending on the time of year. Sunscreen should filter UVA and UVB light. More reliable physical blockers are zinc and titanium since they physically screen the sun, but the chemical blockers in most sunscreens last about one to two hours before the sun breaks them down. Newer sunscreens with Helioplex can last up to four hours, and a new sunscreen with Mexoryl works well also. Working to prevent sun damage is an essential part of summer skin care, but recognizing damage and figuring out if it needs to be treated is extremely important as well. Sun damage shows up as freckles, a red ruddy appearance of the skin, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and, most seriously, skin cancer.

There is currently what Dr. Brod terms an epidemic in skin cancer cases, some 2 million in the past year. Common types are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell and melanoma. Basal cell shows up in skin that is disfigured and grows locally. It is usually not deadly and may be a bump that’s red or pink that doesn’t heal, bleeds or is shiny or pearly. Squamous cell can appear as a rough, shiny patch or a hard bump on the face, ears or upper body, or even on the backs of hands. It has the ability to metastasize and can be deadly. Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, can be treated if caught early. If a melanoma that has formed grows deeper, by even a few tenths of a millimeter, it can spread. Look for a new or changing mole with variegated coloration or multiple shades. The mole may be flat. “Use A,B,C,D,” says Forsyth about working to identify potential problems. “Asymmetry, irregular border, variations in color and diameter.” Men commonly have problems on their backs and women on their lower legs. Melanoma rates have been rising, especially in women between 25 and 30, which may be explained by the higher use of tanning salons by that group. Keep in mind: “If you have a non-healing lesion you should probably have it looked at,” says Forsyth. Dr. Robert Wolf, a plastic surgeon

at WatersEDGE in Camp Hill, agrees. “Sunscreen has been underrated for years,” he says. “And melanoma is on the rise.” Some of the sun you’ve been exposed to can be treated and, in some cases, repaired. “Reversing some of the sun’s damage is possible,” says Dr. Brod. “The key is to start with good sun protection.” Other simple things to use are topical retinoids, which can restore some collagen; chemical peels, which can even out pigmentation; and lasers, which strip the top layers of skin, after which a new revitalized top layer of skin will form. Forsyth adds that photodynamic therapy can remove precancerous lesions. Also, wash your face twice a day to remove whatever has collected on your skin. Dr. Wolf uses a Cutera laser system to perform 3-D skin rejuvenation at the Laser Center of Camp Hill. This system targets specific areas and can work on the top, middle and bottom layers of the skin separately or all at once to tighten skin and correct sun damage. “There is no blistering and no downtime,” says Dr. Wolf. “Patients can go out to dinner afterwards.” His only warning: “Be careful who you go to,” since lasers have to be used very carefully. One more myth you can dispel—you don’t actually need the sun to get your Vitamin D. The amount you need is minimal and you can get it from things like salmon or supplements. “There’s no such thing as a healthy tan,” says Dr. Brod. “Unless it’s a tan in a bottle.” SS

FAVORITE things Text by Keely Childers Heany Photography by Donovan Roberts Witmer except where noted

Traveling the SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY in search of independently owned shops, eateries and cultural treasures is our mission. Each summer we devote the majority of this issue to CELEBRATING these businesses and the people who own and operate them. They are vibrant members of our communities, and their businesses make great destinations for day trips, shopping excursions with friends or summer family outings. They are truly a few of “Our Favorite Things”; we hope they become yours, too.

HERE’S TO SAVORING SUMMER AND THE GOOD LIFE—LOCALLY.

SQUARE ONE COFFEE 145 North Duke Street, Lancaster 717-392-3354 | www.squareonecoffee.com.

Square One Coffee co-owner Jess Steffy

CUSTOM CUP Our own little Lancaster roaster is hitting the big time with beans being sold at major stores like Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting, Callow Hill and Philadelphia’s South Street. “Boston is the next big thing for us,” says owner Jess Steffy. She and her husband Josh will be guest roasters at some well-known Boston cafes coming up, which they’re excited about. But they’re still sticking to their roots and staying small. From starting as a stand at a farmers market in Bird in Hand roasting one pound at a time, to Josh Steffy and his wife Jess purchasing Square One Coffee in 2007, their biggest batch remains only 15 pounds. Small batch roasting, or “craft roasting,” as Jess calls it, allows them to serve ideal roasted coffee which is at its peak only 48 to 72 hours after roasting. Nothing on their shelves is ever over five days old. “You can’t get fresher coffee anywhere,” she adds. Another difference at Square One, besides the fact that they manufacture their own water with reverse osmosis and other filters, is literally an event—once a month “coffee cuppings” where coffee lovers can learn to taste the characteristics of different roastings and origins of beans. You can also try different origins any time with Square One’s new coffee bar and pour-over coffee, a method that, Jess explains, “turns more flavor out of the coffee.” (See how it works 54 SUSQUEHANNA STYLE | J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0

and learn more in a video shot on location at www.SusquehannaStyle.com’s “Our Favorite Things: Exclusive Online Content.” The Steffys and Square One are also making a difference in the world, leading a movement in coffee known as “direct trade,” which means that farmers see more of the money than with “fair trade” coffee. “The world is getting a lot smaller,” explains Josh, who adds, for example, they have

farmers all over the globe using Skype. “And importers are becoming much more transparent, because they have to be,” he says, which is also a positive push. Other myths they hope to debunk about coffee include the belief that oily beans are better or that dark roasts have more caffeine; beans that are oily often are over-roasted and dark roasts like espresso actually have less caffeine, the owners say. Some things to sip on.

FOOD & DRINK CRAZY COOL The flavor combinations at Gelato di Babbo are as sassy as their maker, Kim Zanni, who’s Italian through and through—and passionate about her product. From sweet potato casserole and sunflower to key lime white chocolate and chocolate caramel with sea salt, Zanni’s willing to try anything once. And surprisingly, sometimes they become customer favorites. She changes the flavors at her small shop in Lititz every week, but keeps some in the case that customers can’t live without them. These include some variety of coffee and one standby flavor like chocolate or peanut butter. But it’s the adventurous pairings, like avocado and pineapple (trust us, it's buttery smooth and tasty) and the popular chocolate Guinness, that keep customers coming back for something new every week. Another product plus, Zanni uses local ingredients as much as she can, whether it's growing lavender for her honey lemon lavender gelato or driving to an Amish goat farm for the milk to make her saffron flavor. She also takes requests for flavors and even does custom wedding combos. GELATO DI BABBO | 635 South Broad Street, Lititz | 717-626-8878 | www.gelatodibabbo.com

Strawberry champagne (foreground); avocado pineapple (background).

PICKY PICKLE EATERS Take fun flavors like jalapeno garlic and dill horseradish, and of course the classics like Sweet 'n' Mild and Garlic Dill, paired with the fact that these pickles are locally made in Lancaster, and you can easily see why these fast became our favorite pickles when we discovered them at the PA Farm Show last year. Anne B. Williams founded The Original Pennsylvania Pickle Company in 2004 and has been producing her premium pickles using family recipes ever since. The proof is in the pickle—and the ingredients, like whole cloves of garlic you can see in the jar. And for adventurous pickle people, Dynamite Dill does a seriously hot habanero dill flavor. There’s even ice cream with pickles! Midnight Cravings combines cinnamon ice cream, dark chocolate chunks and cinnamon-clove pickles— all in one easy-to-grab quart from the freezer.

FRENCH REVOLUTION

Gettysburg’s not all battlefields and war stories. There’s quite a culture of art and cuisine amid the history. One entrepreneurial couple is making it their business to expand the area’s offerings. Brendan Synnamon, whose last name originated from France as Saint Amand, and his wife Jaime, who runs their restaurant day to day, are particularly pleased with their decision to share their ancestors’ cuisine with the town they call home. In fact, says Jaime, the restaurant, which will be open two years in September, “has exceeded our expectations.” “We focus on what we can do homemade,” she says. Some of their specialties include soups and sandwiches made with meats that are roasted, sliced in-house, and served on fresh bread from Pomona’s in Biglerville. The aubergine pesto sandwich with eggplant is the most popular, the couple agrees, as are the French dip, Croque Monsieur and Madame. “This is the place to be on Sundays,” says Brendan. The café’s omlettes, cinnamon rolls and French toast are just a few favorites. Dinner is available Wednesday through Saturday evenings featuring French classics like coq au vin and onglet au poivre, seared hanger steak with a black pepper crust finished with a cognac cream sauce. The stars of this small town café are pastry chef Natalie Altman and her ever-changing array of desserts. Whether it’s homemade lady fingers that encase layers of cappuccino cream, chocolate cake and Bavarian cream, or a classic strawberry tart, we recommend checking the dessert case before you order so you can keep your eye on the prize of the pretty little things.

Stoudt’s American Pale Ale is one of those good ole beers that goes with everything. We love this brew for its stand-up values and hard-working hops. The brewpub, restaurant, shopping village and antique mall at Stoudt’s are a destination unto their own and well worth the trip—the new Wonderful Good Market, an artisan creamery, bakery and specialty foods store and café, is a foodie’s dream of an addition to the microbrewery and its array of tasty beers.

Mexico meets Italy in the form of gourmet brick oven pizzas, stromboli and monster burritos at Mexitaly in York. Fusion fearers, not to fret: Straight up Italian and Mexican specialties abound, from fresh fish tacos with pico de gallo and a unique ginger slaw to recently added panini and pasta. Marietta resident Greg Skirboll, the owner of Mexitaly, says, “Food’s been in my family forever.” From his grandfather’s roadside food stand in Sicily to his mother's Italian fine dining restaurant—even his brother is a chef. After several trips to California, his intent was to open a burrito joint, but “I couldn’t turn my back on what I know,” he says. Six years ago, Mexitaly came to be a new word in the vocabulary of his restaurant's many fans. “We have people that love a little bit of everything,” says Skirboll. “Everyone has their own obsession.” The most popular, he says, are the handheld Mission-style burritos. But the pizzas with gourmet flavors like spanikopita with shrimp and scallops, chicken pesto, and scampi are equally adored. MEXITALY | 1170 Haines Rd, York 717-600-8226 | www.mexitaly.com

THE BELVEDERE BUNCH Known for its ever-changing, always-inventive martini menu, it’s just as much about the people behind the bar that make The Belvedere scene the place to be in Lancaster— whether it’s a special occasion night out or a weeknight evening enjoying one of the new happy hour specials at the downstairs bar, such as $1 Kobe burger sliders on Mondays or $5 select appetizers on Wednesdays. Then again, anything that chef Steven Drake comes up with in the kitchen is extraordinary, though we often crave classics like the Belvedere’s grilled Caesar and steaming pots of garlic and wine mussels that permeate the air with each order that comes from the kitchen.

SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY SANDWICH OBSESSION Let’s face it, the Susquehanna Valley is obsessed with Isaac’s sandwiches; they even have 19 locations throughout the region to keep up with our demand! We all have our favorites. Maybe even one you get every time. Mine’s the Larkspur, one of the many vegetarian options, which is a grilled flatbread filled with spinach, sprouts, tomatoes, Muenster and cheddar cheese with ranch dressing. Our editor-in-chief, Donovan Roberts Witmer, has a Lancaster County native pick. His is The Mallard: One of Isaac’s famous pretzel sandwiches piled with roast beef, bacon, mushrooms and melted cheddar with Ikey’s Sauce—a mild horseradish sauce. But people flock to the famed pink flamingo for more than just sandwiches. Locals love starting off lunch with their famous pepperjack tomato soup or broccoli salad with peanuts and golden raisins.

CHIEF CHILI’S HOME OF THE HOT ROCKS Dawson Flinchbaugh is one of those restaurant owners who customers come to see as much as they patronize the restaurant for good food and drink. He’s a lively character who walks in to our interview having just been skydiving wearing a Flinchy’s shirt that says, “If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.” Also known as “Chief Chili,” Flinchbaugh has been running the state chili championship at the Kipona Festival for over 30 years. The secret to his award-winning bowl: lots of Yuengling lager. The beer adds a bitter flavor you can taste along with chunks of prime rib and lots of ground beef. The restaurant’s namesake is Dawson’s son, Matt Flinchbaugh, whose high school nickname was Flinchy, so when his family decided to open a restaurant in 2003, his nickname became synonymous with the restaurant’s claims to fame. The most notable signature: Flinchy’s Hot Rocks, where customers can cook their steaks and seafood to their liking, each bite as hot as the first, on volcanic stone right at the table.

As if this mother-daughter duo doesn’t have enough creativity between the two of them to spark fabric on fire, their store and craft studio also features the handiwork of over 160 vendors—most everything made within 100 miles of its Harrisburg location. There you’ll find things like monkey socks made to look like their puppet counterparts, unique jewelry from repurposed antiques and items, fun screen-printed tees, handbags and much more. Just don’t go looking for something in particular—the HodgePodgery isn’t that kind of place. In fact, it’s quite the opposite, as the name implies. “Lots of things are recycled or ‘up-cyled,’” which Jessica Phillips-Canzoneri explains means “taking something you would throw away and making it fun, funky and functional.” Classes and workshops in the studio at The HodgePodgery range from soap making and jewelry making to book binding and embroidery. Their popular “So You Wanna Sew?” classes begin with a new session July 6. Check the website for details and the full class schedule if you’re feeling crafty!

The Tiger’s Eye, one of downtown Lititz’s unique boutiques, offers something for the sophisticated woman that just can’t be bought. Yes, there are artistic expressions of Americanmade accessories and fashion by Eileen Fisher, Babette, Flax and Barbara de Jounge. But there’s a bygone era of personal service and exclusivity when it comes to the clothing and jewelry that just can’t be duplicated. “When our customers shop here, they don’t see themselves coming and going,” says Gaylord Poling. He explains that his wife Nadine keeps track of who’s wearing what to what event and doesn’t buy multiples of the same thing to ensure her customers have a unique style. As an accessories buyer at Doneckers for 30 years, Nadine Buch Poling “hired herself” after a company down-sizing and began a store of her own. The Tiger’s Eye will celebrate 14 years in business in September. “My strength in accessories is the key to our success. Whether they’re traveling or special occasion shopping for a granddaughter’s wedding, our customers know they’re going to get the whole outfit and feel good because it’s all put together,” says Nadine.

“Higashi Eyewear approaches eyewear as a fashion accessory...just as jewelry is,” explains Susan Fotos, owner of Higashi Pearls and Fine Jewelry. “Your choice of eyewear tells a lot about your personality and style. You can select different eyewear for different occasions or aspects of your personality.” “We want you to love the frames you select,” she adds. “I do not have an ‘eyewear face’ so I know it can take a long time to find some glasses that I think I look good in,” which is the reason she started Higashi Eyewear—to fill a gap she felt existed in the market. With a licensed optician on staff to help select the lenses that are the best fit for your prescription and lifestyle, they work closely with their lab to provide the latest state-of-the-art lenses, including new digital lenses, sunglasses and prescription frames. Higashi’s exclusive designer lines include: Tiffany, Bulgari, Oliver Peoples, Tori Burch, Pucci, Paul Smith, Anne et Valentin, Axels, Maui Jim, Ray Ban, Prada and D&G, making it a great resource for fashion-forward frames.

BROADWAY IN CHOCOLATE TOWN

The Hershey Theatre is known regionally as the place to go for Broadway in the Susquehanna Valley. This summer, CATS comes to town July 30 through August 1. Based on T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, CATS won seven Tony Awards in 1983. The theatre itself is simply magnificent, and is currently celebrating 75 years. Designed in 1915 by famed Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban, the theatre was built by entrepreneur and philanthropist Milton S. Hershey between 1929 and 1933 as part of Mr. Hershey's Depression-era "Great Building Campaign." Guests can experience the significance and beauty of this building during "behind-thescenes" tours, offered at 11am on Fridays (year-round) and 1pm on Sundays (Memorial Day to Labor Day).

She and her husband moved to the area 20 years ago and have been gardening with native plants ever since. The property where they live called them to it.

stated French author Colette. Look around, and you’ll notice there is truth in this observation. We linger with our canines in dog parks; we post photos of our cats on Facebook. Whole stores are dedicated to supplying the paraphernalia to help us celebrate our pets. In fact, in America alone, 71 million households have pets. Unfortunately, all pets don’t receive the kindness they deserve, and shelters are full of their heartbreaking stories. But the good news is that more and more people are rising to the challenge and adopting dogs and cats—and other pets—that are in need of a loving home. Join us as we talk with southcentral Pennsylvanians about the pets they’ve rescued—and come to love. 68 SUSQUEHANNA STYLE | J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0

HOME FOR

GOOD

THEY CALLED HER simply “Mama Cat.” On her third litter of kittens at only age 3, Mama Cat was homeless. Her owners, who threw her out every time she got pregnant, had moved away during her most recent pregnancy, abandoning her to the York City streets. Enter Lori Uhrich. In York, she’s one of the go-to people for city strays. She and her husband answer calls with Animal Control and try to return loose animals to their owners. In this case, in August 2009 neighbors of Mama Cat noticed her owners had moved and began feeding her. Then one day they discovered kittens in their garage. They couldn’t keep her, so they called Lori, who had started West York Cat & Kitten Rescue last year. Lori’s home was already full, with six male kittens, two female kittens, and a full-grown Maine Coone cat. But she took the new family in. “They fit in really well,” says Uhrich. Meanwhile, in Thomasville, Sue Hirschorn was looking for a companion. She got on the Internet and found the West York rescue. “As soon as I heard Mama Cat’s story,” she recalls, “I knew she needed a good home.” Sue’s daughter was graduating from college and was taking Barney, one of the family’s two cats, with her. That left Precious, a shy white cat. Sue explains, “We wanted company for Precious. As soon as my husband agreed we could get another cat, I was on it.” After they adopted Mama Cat, though, they discovered the two cats didn’t get along. “It’s like having teenagers all over again,” says Sue. “But we think they’ll work it out.”

According to the York SPCA's Melissa Smith, “just about every employee at the shelter has adopted AT LEAST ONE adult pet. “ Adopting a senior pet is one of the BEST THINGS you can do,” she says. “Adult cats don’t have the kitten ‘angst.’ They’re not hanging off the curtains; they’re just laying on the back of the sofa.”

"Mama Cat" has a new home and name, Pita.

PIT BULL

NOVIS

Jack with his pit bull companion, Jordan.

THE NOVIS FAMILY believes in volunteering. It’s no surprise, then, that Mark Novis became a dog walker for the Humane Society in Harrisburg. Mark, who works in the tax department at the Hershey Company, is a dog lover. For nine months he helped out by taking dogs out of their kennels, spending time socializing them, and generally making himself useful. Then he met Jordan. “I guess you’d say I just hit it off with Jordan,” explains Mark. “I recognized that he was a great dog. I walked him most times when I would come in, and it got to the point where he would recognize me. That was a lot of fun for both of us.”

“OLYMPIC SLEEPERS” WHEN CONNIE KING adopted her first retired greyhound racer, Millie, seven years ago, she couldn’t have predicted that she would become an adoption representative for the breed. But four months later Connie adopted another greyhound, Helen, and hasn’t been without at least one since. Presently in her household, pet-wise, there’s Schmoopy and Spunky, who are rescued greyhounds, and Devon, who’s a whippet. (Whippets also race and are classified similarly but are smaller.) The three dogs, on leashes, are a common sight in Connie’s Lancaster neighborhood. Since greyhounds are bred for speed, it’s never safe to let them off-leash. Yet although they’re fast, they don’t need to run as much as you might think. “They’re often called 45-mile-an-hour couch potatoes,” says Connie, an architect with Earl King Construction and current president of the Building & Industry Association of Lancaster County, “because this”—she points at a very relaxed, sleeping Schmoopy—“is what they’re like most of the time.” In fact, greyhounds are often referred to as “Olympic Sleepers.” According to Connie, they only need “a couple of walks a day” and need less exercise than some breeds. Greyhounds are large, with males up to 30 inches tall and 85 pounds. Their gentle nature, though, makes them well suited as therapy dogs for visiting people in nursing homes, etc. Because of the way they’re raised—in litters and in kennels for racing—they are very well trained. But also because of this, there are some things about living in a home that they have to learn. “They’ve never seen a door with glass in it,” says Connie. “They run into it at first, but then they figure it out.” They also have no experience with mirrors, and they may bark at their own reflections. Connie’s daughter Ava, at 5 years old, thinks

that’s funny. “Sometimes Spunky looks into the computer and thinks there is somebody in there,” she says. Ava loves having the dogs around. Ava is now old enough to handle Devon on the family’s walks with the three dogs. But Spunky is her favorite. “Sometimes he rests his head on my foot,” says Ava, who, in return, often rests her head on Spunky. Spunky and Schmoopy are good with Ava. But not all greyhounds are good with children under 6. As an adoption rep for Keystone Greyhounds, Connie visits area residents who would like to adopt a greyhound. She checks for cats and other small pets, and takes stock of the age and energy of the children in the household. Some greyhounds are what Connie calls “highprey-driven,” so if there are cats or lively small children, she may recommend another breed. “They’re not for everyone,” she advises, “but they’re great dogs.” The rescue of greyhound racers has ramped up in recent years. The economy and the rise of casinos have led to the closing of more than a few racetracks. Each time a track closes, several hundred dogs need homes. That’s in addition to the normal retirement of greyhounds, when they’re no longer winning races. In fact, the National Greyhound Association estimates that, each year, 20,000 greyhounds are adopted. The Keystone group placed about 200 dogs last year, and is always looking for new owners. While some groups are anti-racing, Connie considers herself “racing-neutral,” and focuses on her selfappointed calling: looking for great owners for great dogs. And adopting a few herself in the process.

HOME FOR GOOD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 69

Mama Cat, for her part, got not only a new home and new housemates but also a new name: Pita. Pita is a very sociable cat. At parties, she “makes her rounds,” because she loves people. But she’s also feisty. The family wanted an adult cat, and were expecting a calmer personality, but discovered unbounded energy. “We try to wear her out during the day by playing with her so that she’ll let us sleep at night,” says Sue. “Honestly, though, she’s still a kitten at heart. She jumps in the air like an acrobat. She’s a lot of fun.” Last year West York Cat & Kitten Rescue took in 24 cats and adopted out all but three. They don’t charge; all they ask for is a bag of Purina Kitten Chow.

PIT BULL NOVIS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 70

In July of 2008, the shelter was scheduled to be closed temporarily for renovations, and was looking for volunteers to foster dogs for about 2 weeks. They asked for help, so the Novises agreed to host Jordan. “We thought we might want to keep him,” admits Mark. “My wife Bethany and I had this unspoken understanding a while back that if Jordan was at the shelter for a year, we would strongly consider giving him a shot. Oddly enough, the need for fostering coincided, almost to the day, with his being there a full year.” Mark and Bethany assessed how Jor-

dan reacted to their other dogs. Their male beagle, Bogey, and female westy, Birdie, had been living together for the better part of 10 years, so they weren’t sure how Jordan would fit in. The “two boys,” as Mark calls Bogey and Jordan, “had some skirmishes initially. Jordan always was very well behaved with the other dogs. Our beagle was somewhat territorial at first, but after about six months, the existing dog pack welcomed Jordan as a member of the household, and it’s gone very well since then.” The Novises’ son Jack, at 6, is already learning how to work with Jordan. “Tell Jordan to sit,” instructs Bethany. “Sit,” says Jack. Jordan sits. Everyone beams. Jordan, it seems, has settled in well. Before adopting a pit bull, Jack and Bethany did “a lot of homework. I wouldn’t say there was no hesitation. But once we ignored [the hype] and educated ourselves on the breed, its history, its characteristics, we got more and more comfortable with it. We love the breed.” Kelly Hitz of Harrisburg’s Humane Society says, with pit bulls, “It’s an image thing. They have a reputation of being aggressive or

vicious even, so sometimes people keep them to symbolize a certain kind of image.” Hitz says, “a couple bad apples give the breed a rep,” but observes they “largely make wonderful pets.” She says a lot of people in urban areas are breeding pit bulls to make money, which leads to a high supply and a low demand; demand is lower because of their reputation. This shelter usually has about 60 percent pit bulls. Hitz says most are strays “who, for whatever reason, have been abandoned.” The shelter puts these—and all dogs—through a series of real-world situations to see how they react. “That really gives us an idea of what kind of home they should be going to,” says Hitz. She says their temperament varies depending on how they’re raised. “You could have an aggressive Chihuahua and a calm pit bull. We find that pit bulls make just as good of a pet as any other breed.” But Mark doesn’t recommend pit bulls for just anybody. "We’ve put a lot of effort into training Jordan. I think it takes the right kind of owner—firm, consistent. We felt that we could be that type of owner.”

HOW TECHNOLOGY IS SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY CLASSROOMS AND CAMPUSES

With the introduction of the iPad and tablet computers, will the students of tomorrow even recognize a chalkboard, typewriter or dry erase board?

EDUCATION ENTERS A

NEW ERA 74 SUSQUEHANNA STYLE | J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION FEATURES APPLE IPAD; WWW.APPLE.COM

BY MARIA COOLE

Without seeing reruns of Little House on the Prairie, children in schools today probably have no idea why someone would clap erasers. Chalkboards have all but gone the way of manual typewriters, with white boards, written on with dry erase markers, replacing them in many schools. But now moving to the head of the class is the interactive electronic white board. Made by several companies, including Promethean and Smart Technologies, electronic white boards combine the use of a computer, a ceiling-mounted projector and the electronic screen. The screen surface can be projected upon, and a special pen can be used to write or draw on the screen. The future of technology in education might seem too much like science fiction to seem plausible, but in about five years, gesture-based computing will be moving into education.

Having already emerged in the commercial sector with the widespread success of the Wii and iPad, gesture-based computing applications for education are being developed on college campuses around the United States. At Georgia Tech University, for example, a gesture-based game has been developed to help deaf children learn American Sign Language more fluently. To play the computer game, a child wears a pair of gloves and the computer reads the child’s gestures or signs. The futuristic technology that was designed for the movie Minority Report is now in development in the real world by the same man who created the movie version. You might remember Tom Cruise wearing a special glove and manipulating images and information in front of him. (See a real life example of this technology at http://oblong.com.)

While today’s schools don’t have anything yet that looks like it came out of Minority Report, they do have a quite impressive array of hardware and software that haschanged what education looked like even just a few years ago. New technologies used in education are varied and flourishing, as you will see in this article looking at several colleges and K-12 schools in southeastern Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG ACADEMY At Harrisburg Academy, early childhood and kindergarten pupils attend weekly computer classes in the Lower School computer lab where they work on projects using software designed for children their age, such as Kidspiration, Max Writes, Max Counts and Kids Pix. They also do keyboarding activities and use online Web sites such as Brain Pop. Many of these lessons are used to enhance what is being taught in the classroom, according to Bob Bell, director of technology. Kindergarteners also learn about using the Internet and e-mail safely.

SCHOLARSHIPPENSBURG J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0 | SUSQUEHANNA STYLE 75

In both Lower School and Middle School, pupils use computers daily. Younger students use the same software programs as the kindergartners and continue to practice using the keyboard, along with using computers in their core subject classes. Interactive white boards are used daily in class instruction. As children get older, they use age-appropriate software and learn the proper methods for doing research on the Web. Middle School students might use Microsoft Office, Inspiration, Timeliner, or Adobe applications, for example. Classroom teachers enhance their lessons with what students are learning in computer lab, and they reinforce core subjects with interactive math and vocabulary building sites.

"When they graduate they'll be prepared for whatever comes next." — Steve Lisk, Lancaster Country Day School In addition, students use Web sites such as Glogster, where their creativity can go wild making posters online that can include not only printed messages or poetry and visual art but also music and video. Students and teachers also use Google Earth and other Google applications; Moodle, a free Web application for educators; and Wiki, where students can create their own databases, among many others. Electronic white boards are found in almost every classroom in the upper grades, 9-12, and Upper School students are allowed to use personal electronic devices on the school’s wireless network to gain Internet access, so they can continue to do research and work if they are not in a computer lab or classroom. Harrisburg Academy's Integrated School Information System is full of features that house databases and foster communication and information sharing, including a database of biographical and academic records; a system of tracking student progress; an electronic grade book; attendance records; progress reports; and online teacher and parent portals. The school also has an Electronic Course Management system that allows access to courses from anywhere, and the school provides laptop computers to all faculty. The school also has two fully computerized libraries, and both can accommodate a full class for research, including a computer for each student.

LANCASTER COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL At Lancaster Country Day School, the emphasis is not just on using technology in teaching but on having students use and master as much technology as possible. The school wants to get students comfortable using and trying many types of technology. “When they graduate, they’ll be prepared for whatever comes next, even if it hasn’t yet been invented,” says Steve Lisk, LCDS headmaster. So, while you’ll find electronic white boards in every classroom, you’ll also find 5-year-olds who are comfortable using Flip Video, handheld digital camcorders. Lower School teachers find that using iPods and Flip Video in the classroom helps to develop literacy skills, as well as helping children to learn a subject. They also use these technologies to showcase student work. Younger students use AlphaSmarts to practice keyboarding and to do writing activities. These are mini keyboards that can be used anywhere.

Students also post videos to YouTube and Vimeo and post still images to Picasa and Flickr photo sharing sites. Working in groups or alone, students have used the Animoto Web site to create video/photo montages that incorporate music to create a sort of hightech slideshow. And animation students use iStopMotion and iMovie to create short films. Moodle is used throughout LCDS, but there was a big push to integrate it into the Middle School in the last school year. This online learning management system is used by teachers for two basic functions: To post all assignments and to post all class handouts/resources. This gives students access to all their work from anywhere with Internet access. But some Middle School teachers expanded their use of Moodle by having students take tests and quizzes on the Web site; using forums for discussions; and doing collaborative work using the wiki feature on the site. A wiki is like a Web page that a group of students can work on together without having to know HTML (Web code) to create it. The word wiki comes from the Hawaiian term “wiki wiki,” which means “very fast,” according to the Moodle Web site.

Students have also submitted homework in Moodle using a digital file (similar to a Word document), and the teachers have given feedback via the site. Classes have also incorporated other media by recording students speaking Spanish using mp3 players. Even photocopiers at LCDS are using upgraded technology and have the ability to scan documents and images directly to email. And to reduce paper use, many teachers are using Google Documents as a means for working collaboratively. Having many new technologies to use with students increases the opportunities for students to learn in ways that take advantage of their own learning styles, says Caroline Badri of Country Day.

PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN “Technology is the tool,” says Matthew Cherry, academic dean at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in Lancaster. “Students have to learn the tool, but the tool can’t sacrifice the concept.”

J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0 | SUSQUEHANNA STYLE 77

In PCA&D’s new Design Center, now under construction and scheduled to open for the fall semester, the use of technology is being built into the 9,200-foot expansion of the college at 202 and 204 N. Prince St. At PCA&D, says Cherry, “Students learn to manipulate visual form in a variety of materials and processes, including technology as a medium. They develop content and conceptual ideas as they hone their skills to better represent their ideas.” The college offers four-year Bachelor of Fine Arts programs in fine arts, graphic design, illustration and photography. “Technology is taught early in the curriculum so that students have the digital vernacular to develop more sophisticated and complex work,” says Cherry. “The world is interdisciplinary, and education needs to be,” says Cherry. Toward that end, PCA&D will be working toward collaboration in curriculum across the four majors, he says. All students who enter PCAD are now required to bring with them a Macintosh laptop computer that complies with specific storage, processor and software requirements.

COURTESY PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE OF ART & DESIGN.

Students at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design examine a project as it rolls out of one of the Design Center's oversized printers.

On third floor of the Design Center, there will be 36 work stations for fourth-year students, designed as working cubicles. On the same floor will be a digital imaging and retouching room with 21 seats, where students can plug in their laptops and display their work on Apple LED cinema displays. These 24-inch flat-panel monitors will be mounted on the walls of the room, while in the center of the room will be a conference area, which will also be used as a classroom space. The retouching lab is connected to the digital and print annex, which is connected to a scanner station and the information technology department. Nearby are two computer labs, each with 20 workstations and one instructor station. These will house the more expensive software and hardware to support motion graphics and animation curricula. “A heavy part of the design world feeds into Web design, animation and gaming,” says Cherry. “The curriculum and the Design Center give students the foundation to make the leap into the professional world,” says Cherry.

ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE Just as chalkboards have become obsolete in most classrooms, the overhead projector, once a major player in classroom instruction, is becoming a thing of the past in many schools and colleges. At Elizabethtown College, one of the tools professors use that replaces an overhead projector is a document camera, which allows the presenter to display any object in color, such as a photograph, a newspaper clipping or an insect, on the screen in the front of the room. The document camera is just one of many tools in the configuration of instructional technology equipment in the approximately 80 classrooms and seminar rooms at the college, says Ronald P. Heasley, executive director of information and technology services. The standard equipment in each room includes a ceiling-mounted projector and speakers as well as a podium with a DVD/ VCR, computer and document camera. Several rooms have electronic white boards, such as the Smartboard™, and others have the SMART Podium. The Smartboard™ and the SMART Podium allow professors to annotate anything being projected, says Heasley. For example, they can highlight parts of a photo or annotate a complicated physics diagram. These annotations can be stored as photographs or a little video for later retrieval by the students as they study, he says.

Students can also use this technology when they are giving presentations, and students studying to become teachers can learn how to integrate technology into teaching. This technology makes it simple for professors at Elizabethtown College to bring a variety of media into the classroom to enhance the curriculum. The tools are always available in the rooms, and a touch-screen display on the podium allows the instructor to easily switch from the computer to the DVD player, VCR or document camera. “The professor can display art work in an art history course or a video clip from a DVD; demonstrate the use of a particular Web site or how to make an Excel graph; or display some organism in a biology class,” says Heasley.

computer would have been limited to a “dumb terminal” connected to a main frame. A student doing research in the library would have been faced with searching indexes, such as the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature, those large green books with very small text, she says, while being allowed to talk only in whispers. Fast forward to 2010 and the newly renovated Lehman Library main floor is abuzz. “The new library reflects students' changing needs and ways of learning,” says Panzo. “Students can choose to study together collaboratively while enjoying food and drinks, work in the computer classroom/lab or check out a laptop at the circulation desk,” she says.

More than 75% of classes use some form of an e-learning management system, distance learning or other instructional technologies, says Panzo. Shippensburg’s summer online program allows students to stay home, work whatever hours they need to work and take the courses they need from faculty they know. Mobile technologies, such as cell phones, PDAs (personal digital assistants), netbooks and laptops make it possible for students to access information, such as course materials, wherever they are, and Shippensburg’s e-learning system gives them an online portal to get their course materials, get involved in a class discussion or review supplemental materials, says Panzo. Gesture-based computing is one technology Panzo sees in the future of education. “Gesture-based computing refers to a computer’s ability to recognize natural physical movements, rather than only accepting input from a keyboard or mouse. [This technology will allow students] to access files or use computer programs with greater efficiency,” says Panzo. To today’s students, new technology in schools is just an extension of what they have grown up with. To the college students of just a few decades ago (including this writer), it looks like we are now living what used to be thought of as science fiction. SS

Easy outdoor entertaining recipes from Bricco’s executive chef, Jason Viscount

HARRISBURG’S TONY AND BRENDA PASCOTTI love to entertain. Whether it’s cooking casual pizzas in their outdoor oven or hosting upscale fundraisers such as a yearly tradition with Tres Bonne Annee, their patio space and view combined offer an impressive experience. But it’s the food and friends that make the party. This easy yet elegant six-course summer menu, created by Bricco’s executive chef, Jason Viscount, incorporates local seasonal ingredients in perfect balance for warm weather entertaining. And perhaps best of all, every course can be prepared on the grill—keeping the heat out of the kitchen and clean-up easy. Plus, the charred flavor imparts a special way to savor summer. 92 SUSQUEHANNA STYLE | J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 0

CHARRED TOMATO AND QUINOA TABBOULEH SALAD recipe on page 101

Quinoa was known to South America’s ancient Incas as “the mother grain” because it contains more protein than any other grain. With all eight amino acids, it’s considered a complete protein, making it a super food for vegetarians. Other benefits: It contains less carbohydrates than most grains and takes half the cooking time of rice. Try it anywhere you would typically use cous cous or rice.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH MEYER LEMON AIOLI Recipe Courtesy: Jason Viscount, executive chef of Bricco 1 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice 1 Meyer lemon 1 Tbs coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves 1 egg yolk Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup grape seed oil, plus more for tossing with and brushing on asparagus 2 large bunches asparagus, about 2 pounds total, trimmed and cooked for 2 minutes in boiling salted water, then cooled Long curls of Meyer lemon zest, for garnish Coarsely chopped toasted pistachios FOR THE AIOLI: Prepare this item ahead of time. Put the lemon juice in a small non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to Â˝ cup. Let cool to room temperature. Peel the lemons, removing all the white pith, and segment over a bowl to catch both the segments and the juices. Cover and refrigerate until very cold. Combine the reduced juice, tarragon, egg yolk, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender and blend until well mixed. With the machine running, add the 1 cup oil, at first by drops and then, as mixture emulsifies, in a thin, steady stream until all the oil is incorporated. Taste, for seasoning. Scrape into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed. You should have about 1Â˛/3 cups mayonnaise. FOR THE ASPARAGUS: Prepare the grill on medium heat. Toss the asparagus with about 1 Tbs oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium to low heat, turning the spears as needed, until they take on a little color and are just tender, about 6 minutes. Cover the grill, if necessary, to maintain the heat. Arrange the asparagus on a platter with the reserved lemon segments. Drizzle with the mayonnaise. Garnish with lemon zest and pistachios.

GRILLED HALIBUT WRAPPED IN BANANA LEAVES Recipe Courtesy: Jason Viscount, executive chef of Bricco 1 cup fresh orange juice ¼ cup fresh lime juice ¹/8 cup fresh lemon juice 2 Tbs olive oil 2 Tbs ancho chili powder Pronounced [AHN-choh]. In its fresh state it is known as a poblano chile. This reddish, slightly fruit-flavored chili is the sweetest of the dried chiles. 4 tsp pasilla chili powder Pronounced [pah-SEE-yah]. This darkly colored, rich-flavored chile is also known as chile negro. 4 (8-ounce) halibut fillets, skinned 4 banana leaves, soaked in water for at least 20 minutes To plan ahead: Do this the night before. Salt and freshly ground pepper Tangerine relish (recipe follows) Heat grill to high. Whisk together juices, oil and chili powders in bowl. Add the halibut and turn to coat. Marinate for 5 minutes. Remove the banana leaves from the water and remove excess water. Place the leaves on a work surface. Remove the halibut from the marinade, season with salt and pepper, and place 1 fillet in the center of each leaf. Wrap the banana leaf around each halibut. Place the halibut on the grill with the folded side of the banana leaf packet up so you can check on it if need be. Close the cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just cooked through. Carefully remove from the grill and serve the fish in the banana leaf. Top with tangerine relish.

TIP: Banana leaves are available at local specialty stores like Wegmans or Latin markets. The banana leaves steam the fish in individual packets.

“Halibut is easy to overcook.” You’ll know it’s done, says Viscount, when the flesh starts to separate and it looks a little flaky.

TANGERINE RELISH: 1 lime, juiced 1 Tbs pineapple juice 1 tsp chili powder 1 Tbs honey 1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil 4 Tangerines, peeled and segmented 2 green onions, thinly sliced 1 Tbs chopped fresh mint leaves Salt and freshly ground pepper Whisk together the lime juice, tangerine juice, chile powder, honey and oil in a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.

GRILLED PLUMS WITH LOCAL GOAT CHEESE AND BALSAMIC SYRUP Recipe Courtesy: Jason Viscount, executive chef of Bricco FOR THE WHITE BALSAMIC SYRUP: ½ cup white balsamic vinegar 2 Tbs sugar 1 vanilla bean, slit and seeds scraped out Stir vinegar, vanilla bean and sugar in heavy small saucepan and boil slowly until liquid is reduced to ¼ cup or until slightly thick like warm syrup, about 10 minutes.

FOR THE PLUMS: 2 Tbs butter, melted 2 tsp brown sugar 4 large plums, halved and pitted 4 mint sprigs 4 oz Camelot Valley goat cheese ¹/8 cup confectioners' sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract Coat grill with cooking spray and preheat to mediumhigh. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar. Brush mixture all over plums. Grill plums, flesh side down, 5 minutes, until soft and flip over and cook for 4 more minutes. In a food processor, or using a hand mixer, combine the goat cheese with the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth. Place plum in the center of the plate, scoop goat cheese mixture on top of the plum, and then drizzle with white balsamic syrup and garnish with mint sprig.

TIP: You can also try this with other summer fruits like peaches or pineapple. In the fall, apples and pears would work nicely.

Recipe Courtesy: Jason Viscount, executive chef of Bricco 2 Tbs sherry vinegar 1 fillet anchovy, minced; or anchovy paste 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil 4 Tbs grape seed oil NOTE: “The burning point of grape seed oil is a lot higher than olive oil,” says Viscount. Other neutral oils with higher burning points are canola and soy, which are all great options when you’re grilling with high temperatures. Olive oil is fine for low temps. ¹/8 cup roughly chopped Italian parsley leaves 1 Tbs chopped tarragon leaves 4 portobello mushrooms, stems removed and discarded 4 ripe plum tomatoes, halved 1 head romaine, quartered, root end attached Preheat grill to medium. Whisk vinegar with anchovy, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick vinaigrette. Whisk in the parsley and tarragon and set aside. Place romaine, mushrooms and tomatoes out on a sheet pan, lightly brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the mushrooms on the grill smooth or cut side down. Grill until mushrooms soften, about 3 minutes. Turn them over and cook until slightly charred around the edges and the center is very tender, about 2 minutes more. Put the tomatoes on the grill skin side down and grill until juicy and charred, about 8 minutes. Grill the romaine, turning to slightly char all sides, until the core end is tender, about 5 minutes. Divide the wedges of romaine, mushroom caps and tomatoes among 4 plates. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salads and serve.

(The cooked germ looks like a tiny curl.) Remove from heat and let stand for about 3 minutes to become fully fluffy. Let cool. Add lemon juice, parsley, mint, scallions and plum tomato to the quinoa and toss to combine. Dress the salad with 2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, to your taste. Cut off tops of tomato, scooping out some of the inside of tomato. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and a generous amount of olive oil, place on the grill for 3 minutes, turn and grill for 3 more minutes. Remove from grill. To serve, pile a generous amount of tabbouleh salad on top of the tomato, allowing the salad to spill down and over tomato onto the plate.

Cork & Cap Restaurant, Lancaster by Keely Childers Heany

Meals & Memories

ucked away in what seems like its own small city of warehouses known as Urban Place on Lancaster’s historic east side, an old bottle cap factory gets a new beginning as a gathering place where meals and memories are made and shared thanks to the vision of one Lancaster County family. Renovations took five years after purchasing the abandoned property, but the Baldwin family’s passion for historic preservation and antiques is present through every aspect of each unique space. The cork factory that once made flooring for Armstrong in the 19th century and then made cork-lined bottle caps for Herr Glass is now home to a boutique hotel, restaurant and event facility that are bringing new life to the east side. Cork & Cap, the aptly named restaurant, features fresh approaches to traditional Lancaster County favorites as well as current concepts in cuisine. “Everything’s phenomenal. It’s a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch food that actually tastes good,” says property owner Barry Baldwin, whose primary business is Baldwin Electric. He grew up going to a one-room schoolhouse and ate a lot of that kind of food, he says,

so he enjoys the updates to classics he enjoyed as a child. “With the hotel, guests want to try the PA Dutch kind of foods without going out of the city to the smorgasbord-type places,” adds Baldwin’s daughter and property manager, Jill Fanning. “For weddings, the menu has been fun for brides and grooms to show their friends and family from out of town the foods they grew up with,” she notes. Executive chef Tammy Hurley, who grew up working on her family’s farm in Lancaster County, thinks the menu she created for Cork & Cap is a natural fit. She graduated from Johnson and Wales University and has worked for big names like Disney and Planet Hollywood, and most recently Normandy Farms and William Penn Inn. Many menu items pay homage to the area’s heritage, such as the Dutchbound red beet salad with pickled beets and red beet egg ($11). Cork & Cap’s signature Chicken-N-Waffle soup is another must-try ($3-5). “We’re making our own twists on Pennsylvania Dutch,” says sous chef Eric Fullem, who joins Cork & Cap from Nemacolin’s five-star restaurant, Lautrec. Stroganoff made with fresh pappardelle pasta and pan-seared petite filets will likely give any grandma’s

dish a run for its money ($20). Or try the tuna steak marinated in whiskey-ginger soy sauce, topped with fresh mango salsa, which is served with basmati rice and sweet-and-sour pepper cabbage ($19). For lunch, classics like a meatloaf sandwich ($8) and macaroni and cheese with tomatoes and spinach ($11) are both popular, says Fanning. Or try the chicken pot pie smokestacks, roulades of housemade pot pie dough stuffed with stewed chicken ($9). There’s really something for everyone, from casual to fine dining fare. “We have wings on our menu and we have duck on our menu,” notes Fullem. As appetizers go, there’s a portabella, walnut and goat cheese strudel with thyme infused oil and red pepper coulis which is enough to enjoy as a vegetarian entrée, but one of the only options as such ($8). Entrees range from chicken and fig marsala and bourbon glazed pork chops to rack of lamb, braised beef brisket with gnocchi. Even some of the cocktails nod to notable historic figures in Lancaster’s fabric such as the “Thomas Armstrong Collins” and the “Emlen’s Old Fashioned.” 12 beers on tap, many of which are local, as well as 21 wines by the glass round out the selection of spirits. Depending on the experience you’re looking for, there are different areas of the restaurant at which to dine: Whether it’s the formal dining room, which features exposed brick walls and beautiful natural sunlight through the warehouse windows; the dark and cozy Grille Room with its tufted plush leather banquets; or the casual lounge, both just around either side of the bar, another hip spot to hang out. “We have people who are very fond of sitting in the lounge in the tub chairs,” adds general manager Stefan Hartman. Above the bar, be sure to check out the cool canoe frame, a relic from the Baldwin family’s mountain house, and in the lounge, a phone booth from the ‘50s. Also, a patio surrounding the landmark smokestack offers secluded dining. Whatever you choose, just be sure to save room for one of Hurley’s house-made desserts. Her passion for pastries shines on the restaurant’s dessert menu, which ranges from summer flavors like key lime pie and raspberry coconut cake to a Pennsylvania Dutch trio of shoofly tartlet, miniature whoopie pie and chocolate dipped peanut butter cookie shaped like a pretzel. Classic dessert fans: Hurley’s chocolate torte is familiar in flavors yet unlike anything you’ve ever had—strawberry cheesecake and chocolate mousse nestled between two layers of dark chocolate cake finished with chocolate ganache. It’s definitely big enough to share, and surprisingly lighter than you might expect, but you may want to take some home to refresh your memory of just how good it is. SS
