Jesse Terry Concert in Berwyn Continued from front page
toured the globe, made an appearance at Bonnaroo in 2015, and released four albums since 2009. Terry’s music reflects an amalgam of influences, from Nashville to Laurel Canyon, and his melodic and lyrically-driven Americana style belongs on a playlist between cuts from Josh Ritter, Jackson Browne, Ryan Adams and Neil Young. Just two months after graduating the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Terry landed himself a publishing deal as a staff-songwriter in Nashville, TN. Jesse went on to write songs professionally in Music City for five years before growing restless and hitting the road full-time. Since then, Terry has toured relentlessly in support of his two full-length albums, including recent support slots for Darrell Scott (member of Robert Plant’s Band of Joy), Tony Lucca, Marty Balin (founding member of Jefferson Airplane) and Liz Longley. He has shared festival stages with the likes of Mat Kearney, Dar Williams, David Wilcox, Rodney Crowell and Lori McKenna. “I think I always needed music,” Terry explains. That simple truth encapsulates the style of an artist whose lyrical depth has garnered multiple songwriting accolades. The buzz over Jesse Terry continues to build, with tours bringing him from coast to coast and across oceans to the UK, Italy, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. His music has appeared in CW’s “Hart of Dixie” and PBS’s “Roadtrip Nation.” Earlier this year, ABC used “Stay Here With Me” for its series “Forever.” Jesse has won Grand Prize in several international songwriting competitions, including the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, the CMT/NSAI Songwriting Competition and the 2012 OurStage.com Finals. Jesse’s song “Let The Blue Skies Go To Your Head” was included on a recent NMS compila-
tion, released worldwide on June 19 by Tommy Boy Records. He was also selected as one of the “Top 5” in the American Songwriter/Martin Guitar’s “Pub Deal” contest. Terry’s star is on the rise, and it’s no surprise. Through the course of four releases, “The Runner” (2009), “Empty Seat on a Plane” (2012), “Stay Here with Me” (2013), and “The Calm & The Storm” (2015), Terry draws from a wellspring of emotional depth and combines it with performance skills honed over hundreds of shows and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road. The result is a palette ranging from poetic ballads to uptempo, rootsy pieces, always beautifully crafted and displaying sweet wistfulness and heartache. This is music that explores the contrast of light and dark, with a core that is timeless and authentic. Jesse Terry’s superlative new EP, “The Calm & The Storm,” captures both the intimacy of his live performances and his thoughtful compositional style, with choice layers of harmonies and instrumentation that evoke the landscapes and faces of the road, the trials and the joys of a traveling troubadour. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7 p.m. There is no charge for admission, but a free will offering of $15-20 per person is recommended. Trinity Presbyterian Church is located on Waterloo Avenue, 1 block south of Route 30 (Lancaster Pike) in Berwyn, PA. Parking is free. The GPS address for the main church parking lot is 51 Waterloo Avenue, Berwyn PA, 19312.

TAKING S TEPS TO M AKE S OMEDAY T ODAY The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night® Walk funds research to find cures and ensure access to treatments for all blood cancer patients. oming together for a common goal, friends, families, children of all ages, and co-workers will come together on Saturday, October 15, 2016 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Chester County Light The Night Walk® at Wilson Farm Park in Wayne, PA. Light The Night is an inspirational and memorable evening. During the two mile leisurely walk, participants carry illuminated lanterns – white for survivors, red for supporters, and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancers. Thousands of walkers will form a community of support, care, and love, bringing light into the dark world of cancer. Kristen Presser of Broomall will walk with her team, Press On for Michael, made up of her friends and family in-honor of her son, Michael, who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) last September. Michael was seven years old at the time and died a few days after his diagnosis. “It is important to raise money for LLS in the hope that we can save other families from having to go through the pain that we have all endured,” said Kristen. “Michael loved life and having fun, so he would truly enjoy all of us walking together.” There is no fundraising minimum to participate in the Light The Night, but every walker is encouraged to become a Champion For Cures by raising $100 or more. Nationally, participants raise an average of $250. To become part of Light The Night, call the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter at 800-482-2873 or online visit www.lightthenight.org/epa.

In the Eye of the Beholder: First-of-its-Kind Tool Measures Caregiver’s Perception of Capabilities of Person with Dementia omprehensive occupational therapy care requires a family-centered approach including treatment for the person with dementia and education for the caregiver. Clinical assessments exist to evaluate the capabilities of a person with dementia, but until now, occupational therapists did not have a validated instrument to gain understanding of the caregiver’s perceptions of the person with dementia’s abilities. Occupational therapist researchers at the Jefferson College of Health Professions at Thomas Jefferson University developed a first-of-its-kind tool to close this gap and published their findings in OTJR: Occupation, Participation and Health. “Until now, occupational therapists had no objective way of knowing if the caregiver was overestimating or underestimating the abilities of the person they are caring for, leaving therapists to depend only on observation to determine what kind of caregiver education is needed,” said Catherine Verrier Piersol, Ph.D., OTR/L, first author and Associate Professor of Occupational Therapy in the Jefferson College of Health Professions. “Often, a caregiver overestimates the person’s abilities, so they may not provide enough support and supervision which can lead to risk or harm. But equally important, if they underestimate the person’s abilities, they might restrict the person’s participation in daily activities and create unnecessary dependence.” Dr. Piersol and her team developed the Functional Capacity
C
Card Sort, a simple card sorting activity to gauge caregiver perceptions. During the assessment, the occupational therapist presents the caregiver with six cards, each one describing various levels of a person’s ability to complete a daily activity. The caregiver is asked which cards describe the ability of the person with dementia. Finally, the occupational therapist asks the caregiver to choose just one card, the one that best describes the person’s ability. This card is then compared to a therapist’s clinical assessment. If the two levels don’t match, the therapist then has an idea of whether the caregiver is underestimating or overestimating the person’s abilities. This informs the plan for caregiver skill-building and education. The Card Sort was found to have construct validity and inter-rater reliability, which is presented in the published findings. Dr. Piersol plans to make the tool available to occupational therapists in the field. Citation: Piersol, C.V., et al. Psychometric Properties of the Functional Capacity Card Sort for Caregivers of People with Dementia. OTJR: Occupation, Participation and Health. 2016, Vol. 36(3) 126-133. This study was supported in part by the Alzheimer’s Association Grant IIRG-07-28686 (Laura N. Gitlin, PhD., Principal Investigator). The authors report no conflicts of interest.

Neumann University Presidential Ambassadors from Delaware County are John Stanaitis (sitting), of Aston; Natalie Hummel, of Media; Ryan Bonacquisti, Aston; and Nicole Mortimer, of Garnet Valley. our Delaware County students have been selected to serve as Presidential Ambassadors for Dr. Rosalie Mirenda during her last year as president of Neumann University. They are Ryan Bonacquisti and John Stanaitis, residents of Aston and graduates of Sun Valley High School; Natalie Hummel, a resident of Media and graduate of Penncrest High School; and Nicole Mortimer, a Garnet Valley resident and Garnet Valley High School graduate. Ambassadors are academically successful students who demonstrate Neumann University’s values: respect, integrity, service, excellence, and stewardship. They represent the University at a variety of events, including homecoming, charter day, meetings of the University Board of Trustees, and the scholarship gala where they network with donors and benefactors. Mortimer, 21, is a nursing major, Neumann Navigator (admissions tour guide), and member of the cross country team. “I really enjoy the opportunity of being a representative of the president,” she says. “I really love Neumann and want to help the University as much as I can.” A member of the roller hockey club and Neumann Media, Bonacquisti, 19, admits that “It’s a great honor to be chosen to represent a school that has done so much for me and shown me so much kindness.” Dr. Mirenda, who consistently says that the students are the reason she has come to campus almost every day for 43 years, began the ambassador program in 2002 to let alumni, neighbors, trustees and donors see the character and intellectual ability of Neumann students. She will retire on June 30, 2017, after 21 years as president.

Student leaders with Mercy Day speaker Sister Angela Reed of Mercy Global Action at the United Nations, NYC, from left – Maida Pannepacker of Havertown, Cara Rossi of Philadelphia, Mairead Collins of Havertown, Sarah Capuzzi of Broomall, Maggie Wilson of Ardmore, Maggie Roccato of Moorestown, NJ, presenter Sister Angela Reed, Savanna Urban of Aldan, Katie Lynch of Springfield, Julia Moore of Marlton, NJ, and Alay’na DiSanto of Philadelphia. ercy Day is an annual, worldwide recognition of the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, Catherine McAuley, and her mission to serve those in need and her commitment to education. “Mercy Day isn’t just celebrated inside the walls of Merion Mercy, it is celebrated on a global scale and therefore, we are called to a global vision. A vision of peace and mercy that includes every man, woman, and child across the world,” said Merion Mercy’s Student Council President Maida Pannepacker. On Mercy Day this year, the MMA school community embraced the school’s year-long theme “Peace Begins with Mercy” with a liturgy and assembly based on social justice. Appropriately, the theme “Peace Begins with Mercy” also connects to an annual project called “The Mercy Girl Effect,” which is a student-run program that benefits women and girls in need throughout the world. This MMA community has been involved in “The Mercy Girl Effect,” a project combining the efforts of Mercy schools across the nation, for several years. Together, a group of Mercysponsored schools collaborate to improve the quality of life for females in developing nations with a special emphasis on girls and education. “The Mercy Girl Effect” gives young women worldwide opportunities they would not have otherwise had, and all from the dedication, service, and fundraising efforts of their peers half a world away. In recent years, the MMA students helped to raise money to build a library in Kenya and schools in Cambodia and South Sudan. This year, students will focus their fundraising efforts to fund housing for refugees in Nigeria. Sisters of Mercy are currently ensconced with more than 1,000 women and children who were forced out of their homes and had to relocate to the grounds of a local church. The goal is to raise money to build hut-houses for these families. Once they have housing, they get an address and are then eligible to enroll at the local school.

PAFA to Launch New Pop-Up Space in Chestnut Hill ‘PAFA Northwest’ will serve as a gallery, museum shop and education space for residents and visitors to Germantown Avenue; kick-off is October 13 he Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) announces the launch of a new popup space in northwest Philadelphia that will offer unique PAFA merchandise and student artwork for sale, and host an array of lectures and hands-on workshops for adults, children and families. The pop-up, called PAFA Northwest, opens its doors at 8512-14 Germantown Avenue on Wednesday, October 13 and will remain open through the end of the year. It will serve as a combination museum shop, art gallery, and education space for area residents, visitors, teachers, art enthusiasts and window shoppers. “We look forward to engaging through this exciting new pop-up with the northwest Philadelphia community and beyond,” says David R. Brigham, PAFA president and CEO. “We greatly appreciate the generous support of PAFA Trustee Richard Snowden, who helped make this opportunity a reality for us.” Paintings, prints, and sculpture made by PAFA’s talented student artists will be for sale in the PAFA Northwest gallery, with 60 percent of the purchase price going to the students.

personal experiences growing up with Cerebral Palsy. In high school, Christine tried to fuel her passion for acting by auditioning time and again for school and community plays. Disappointingly, she was never cast in a lead role. It was difficult for her to feel part of the school community because of her physical disability. Christine’s personal experience with Cerebral Palsy coupled with the lack of resources for children and teenagers with physical disabilities provided the impetus for Christine to launch a life-changing acting program for young people in similar situations. Christine has said of her decision to establish Acting Without Boundaries, “I love to act, but I always had a difficult time. I wanted to create a place where kids could get involved in theater, form friendships and gain confidence.” AWB is much more than a theater program—it is a place where actors feel like they belong. Through their theatrical work and social outings and opportunities, AWB actors build lasting friendships. Everyone finds a place at AWB where they are supported and encouraged. What AWB does is unique. There is no other organization in the Philadelphia region that provides theater arts opportunities to young people with physical disabilities. The public’s support is vital to its success. Join Acting Without Boundaries on Sunday, October 9, 2016 at 4 p.m. in Centennial Hall, at The Haverford School, for this uplifting family event and enjoy the magic of this local organization. For information about Acting Without Boundaries, visit http://www.actingwithoutboundaries.org/ or call 610-922-8240.

Second Annual Community Health Fair
riends’ Central students, faculty, and staff participated in a variety of activities in honor of International Day of Peace on Wednesday, September 21. Middle and Upper School students and faculty took part in a Peace Day program and Meeting for Worship on September 21. The program featured three moving performances, kicking off with the Middle School Chorus as they sang A-Salaamu Aleykum, a Muslim greeting in Arabic that means “Peace be upon you.” The Middle and Upper School Chorus and Strings performed a beautiful rendition of “We Shall Overcome,” a song that became an important anthem of the African-American Civil Rights Movement. The Contemporary Stage class read “The Moment Before,” a moving original piece by Amelia Boscov ’16. Music teacher and soccer coach Galen Guindon ’06 led a music activity that got the entire audience involved in making music, and Peace Studies teacher Mike Crauderueff discussed how students and staff Friends’ Central kindergarteners hold hands while gathering around the can contribute to finding long-term solutions for Peace Pole, which depicts the phrase “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in peace.

In acknowledgment of International Day of Peace, Friends’ Central 8th graders made peace dove mobiles, which now hang beautifully around campus. “May Peace Prevail on Earth” are written in an array of languages, giving students an opportunity to think about what peace really means and how those in different countries can come together to create peace worldwide. “On Peace Day, our community came together, lifting up silence, music, and words that powerfully reminded us of our commitment to be cultivators of peace in our hearts, our country, and our world,” shared Quaker Coordinator Robyn Richmond. As a follow-up to Peace Day activities, there will be an opportunity for students in all divisions to meet to discuss any current events and how they can be change-makers in the world and their communities.

Fright Fest Dead Man’s Party Cast. Dr. Fright and his friends take over a graveyard for Fright Fest’s signature song and dance production featuring many new Halloween hits and dazzling special effects with the help of celebrity choreographer Ashle Dawson. New location in the Movietown Arena. Photo/Kristin Siebeneicher he world’s first fully interactive, horror-themed virtual reality coaster gaming experience, a new haunted prison maze and four new, devilishly entertaining shows including the world-famous Lizardman headline the biggest and scariest Fright Fest® season in history at Six Flags Great Adventure. Weekends and select days September 16 through October 31, families can enjoy all of their favorite roller coasters and thrill rides plus family-friendly themed attractions with “Thrills by Day” and terrifying mazes, scare zones and shows during “Fright by Night.” Daytime thrills are devoted to families. Guests can start their visit by dancing to Halloween hits at the “Spooktacular Street Party,” or catch the “Just My Rottin’ Luck” magic show staring Raoul the Duke of Deception. New this year, Six Flags introduces “The Skeletones” a ghostly and charming acapella group performing bad-to-the-bone harmonies at the Wilderness Theater. Children under 12 can journey down the Trick-or-Treat Trail while meeting their favorite characters. Beginning at 6 p.m., things take a drastic turn with the “Fright by Night” festivities. Swarms of decaying zombies, crooked clowns, freaks of nature and monsters of the night emerge in “The Awakening” parade, and then Dr. Fright unleashes these horrors into the streets. As the night creeps on, guests can enjoy one of three new “Monstertainment” shows, a new haunted maze, and fresh takes on park classics. Six free scares, eight Monstertainment shows, the new Rage of the Gargoyles virtual reality coaster and the park’s world-class thrill ride collection are included with park admission, Season Pass and active Membership. Seven haunted mazes require an additional fee. “Fright by Night” is not recommended for children under 12 and those who scare easily. For information, visit www.sixflags.com/greatadventure.
