Fun Things To Do This Fall in Bucks County

W

hen we first moved to Doylestown almost a decade ago, we fell instantly in love with the unique and quirky shops and the vibrant people. We spent much time in the borough strolling through the neighborhoods taking in the architecture, the gardens and the cemetery, absorbing the long history and interesting characters resting there.

We couldn’t help but wonder about the history that’s rarely spoken about or shared: the haunted history. After attending many walking tours, trolley tours and historic tours everywhere from Gettysburg to Salem, we were always curious of what other wonders Doylestown held.

After a firsthand experience with a ghost right here in town, we decided that this was the year that we’d do some deep digging into our boroughs alternate history. It seemed long overdue for such a distinguished small town.

As soon as we started digging, we were delighted to find out what colorful history has peppered our town over the years and we’ve only just scratched the surface. Thomas Hargrave? Talented tombstone craftsman whose work graces not only Doylestown Cemetery but also Laurel Hill.

Pearl S. Buck? Notable author, humanitarian and keeper of a haunted home. A twice buried accused murdered? Yes, we have one of those as well.

We began to collect stories about some of the more well-known haunts: Mom’s, the Fountain House (Starbucks building) and the Doylestown Inn. But then more began to trickle in: people sharing stories of hauntings in their homes including phantom footsteps and disembodied voices. We discovered how the 1918 Pandemic impacted Doylestown and how Washington Continued on page 5

Finding Your Peace of Mind

By Dakota Latorre The Cardinal Contributing Writer

Shari Simon, E-RYT500, YACEP is the creator and main teacher at the lovely Sun Dog Yoga Studio. She has been practicing yoga for over thirty years and opened Sundog Yoga Studio right here in the heart of Doylestown fifteen years ago. The Cardinal sat down recently with Shari for a chat about her studio.

What first brought you to yoga and what made you decide to open a studio?

After college, I spent fifteen years in advertising and worked in the intense and creative world of film production. During these years of super long workdays in Chicago, I found a great stress-reliever in Iyengar Yoga, which I studied for seven years before moving to the east coast. Ending up in Bucks County, I discovered Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga, which really spoke to my body and my heart . . . and a lifetime love affair was bonded!

I was invited to start teaching at a small studio in New Hope twenty-five years ago, and continued teaching classes all over Bucks & Montgomery Counties as well as the Philly area and New Jersey. I vowed to never open a yoga studio (I had an inkling of how much work it would be . . . I was right!) and after the passing of both of my parents in 2005, I decided to take the plunge, and my creation of Sun Dog Yoga Studio was born.

Tell us about your studio, Sun Dog Yoga Studio.

Sun Dog Yoga Studio has been open for our community since June, 2006. We are a fullservice yoga center offering classes 7 days a week, yoga-related workshops, yoga teacher trainings as well as private yoga sessions and bodywork therapies. We offer classes geared towards all levels of practitioners, from beginners to advanced.

Although we are predominantly an Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga studio, we have always offered a variety of classes from Gentle Yoga to Vinyasa, Meditation and more. Our intention at Sun Dog Yoga is to assist anyone who comes through our doors in achieving a better life through the practices that yoga offers . . . whether it’s a stronger more flexible body, or finding peace of mind in a chaotic world, yoga can serve an many levels of healing.

my turn A Fall Story in Doylestown

Consider a Walking Tour at Doylestown Cemetery

M

y wife wanted to move home to Pennsylvania to be close to family, but my feet were firmly planted on the warm Florida sand, and I wasn’t budging. This all changed one year ago on a crisp fall day. We were in PA for a visit and somehow ended up in Doylestown.

We had on our warm sweaters and delicious lattes from Native in hand as our two year-old son wanted to go into every store, especially Busy Bees!

I saw the leaves on the ground, the happy families at Burpee Park and delicious coffee shops as far as the eye can see. I called it the Hallmark town and was almost expecting folks to break out in song, it looked so sweet.

After a full day of walking around downtown, and admiring the many museums and the library, we headed over to Chambers 19 to grab a bite to eat. We got a table by the window to look at the leaves and elegance of the town. I ordered a pint of Guinness, and we had some french onion soup to warm ourselves up. Calling it delicious wouldn’t do it justice . . . I was in heaven.

Miraculously our son was in good spirts and not causing a ruckus.

This day changed everything. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but Doylestown has a certain “je ne sais quoi” that’s undeniable. It only took one fall day in Downtown Doylestown for my wife to convince me to leave our lives in Florida and move here. We sat at Chambers and chatted about the town and how different it would be from our Florida lifestyle. Yes, we were giving up palm trees and winter would be coming; we just didn’t care. Doylestown in fall had enticed us.

They say fall represents change, and it definitely did for us. Fast forward to today, we sold our house in Florida, and we are here living in this delightful hallmark of a town. We’re unpacking our fall sweaters and stocking up on pumpkin spiced coffee. We couldn’t be happier.

I suppose it’s a good thing our visit last year wasn’t in the winter ;)

T

he Doylestown Cemetery was founded in 1849. The parklike setting is a beautiful place to visit and learn more about the area. The Doylestown Cemetery offers a Walking Civil War Tour on the first Saturday of the month from May through October.

The walking tours last approximately ninety minutes to two hours. There is a $10.00 fee for the tour. Please call for reservations: 215-348-3911.

There are 244 Civil War veterans interred at Doylestown Cemetery. The tour focuses on eighteen gravesites of men who lived in the Doylestown area. Some lost their lives on the battlefield, others came home to Doylestown to live out their lives. Five of them were generals, members of the US Colored Troops, in the Navy and also a Surgeon General of the US Army. A key point of the tour is the 104th Pennsylvania Regiment, which was made up of soldiers from the Doylestown area. Tour guides are members of the local Civil War Round Table. Hope to see you on our next tour.

5 Tips to Safely Celebrate Halloween with Your Pets

W

hether heading to a party, celebrating on social media or greeting little ghouls and goblins at home, getting the entire family - including the four-legged family members - involved in the Halloween festivities can be the biggest treat of all. However, it’s important to take some precautions to avoid spooking your pets, particularly if you’ll be dressing them for the occasion.

In addition to keeping your pets out of the candy bowl and tempering their excitement during all the hustle and bustle, keep these tips from PetSmart’s resident veterinarian and pet care expert, Dr. Jennifer Freeman, DVM, in mind to ensure your pets are comfortable in their costumes so they’re able to celebrate stress-free.

Take baby steps. Start by trying a simple accessory, like a bandana, on your pets. See if they allow this and will walk around with it on for a few minutes. Not all pets like wearing clothes and some may become stressed or agitated while wearing a costume. However, many just need a little coaxing and positive reinforcement, such as praise and a treat.

Reward with something tasty. After you put the apparel or costume on your pets, reward them with their favorite treat to create a positive association between wearing

the costume and getting a treat.

Ensure the costume is safe. Once you know your pets are comfortable in a costume, it’s important to ensure the outfit allows them to walk, bark, meow and see without difficulty.

Additionally, if your pets can easily trip over their legs, try another type of clothing. Make sure there aren’t any accessories attached that may be easy for them to chew on or swallow.

Consider the weather. Pets can overheat easily, so ensure their clothing is not too bulky or heavy if it is warm on Halloween.

Watch for elastic features around the paw area that may be restrictive and be certain there is enough room around the widest area of the chest to allow for proper air flow and ventilation.

Keep an eye on body language. Pets often communicate through body language and their behavior may let you know if they’re stressed or uncomfortable. Pay extra attention to your costumed pets’ body language while attending parties or events and watch for signs of discomfort such as pacing, hiding or refusing to move.

ARE GHOSTS REAL - continued from page 1

encamped here. We read about the Witch of the Woods near Fonthill, and another in Buckingham. Or perhaps it’s the very same one?

We’ve been fascinated to hear of how many people have seen and felt Laura of Fonthill, who passed away in the castle in 1975. For those who may not know, Fonthill was the home of Henry Chapman, and housed his extensive collection of artifacts collected along his travels across the world.

Fonthill is an extensive concrete structure consisting of 44 rooms, over a dozen fireplaces and 10 bathrooms! The castle was eventually left to the housekeeper Laura and her husband Frank Swain after Henry Mercer passed on. While I haven’t heard as many stories of his presence in the castle (though there are some), I have heard repeatedly that she still roams the halls as if still tasked with leading tours and keeping the castle operations running smoothly. She even helps by turning on the lights.

Michener Art Museum was formerly a prison. As a child, I visited the prison when it closed and knew immediately that not every soul left that building quietly when it closed. It was host to two hangings, rife with illness and disease and mayhem prior

to it eventually being “reformed” into what would become known as the Pine Street Hotel. But the stories have persisted long past its closure and new life as an art museum.

While working with the Doylestown Historical Society, what we have found most amazing while digging up these stories is how many layers there are to our buildings and history here. Rarely was a building used for one simple purpose. Rather, it was a home, a shop, a practice, a shoe store, or a milliner or a garage. We have only started to peel back the layers of dozens and sometimes hundreds of years of Doylestown alternate history.

If ghost stories, untold history and a slight bend towards the macabre is what you’re looking for this Halloween season, please consider joining us on a haunted history tour. We’ve picked out the most interesting hauntings to share on our tours that begin this fall.

Join us Friday or Saturday nights at 6:30. We will begin in the courtyard behind the Doylestown Historical Society at 56 South Main Street. We will visit various locations in town before ending at Hops/ Scotch in the Main Street Marketplace.

Please wear comfy shoes and expect to spend an hour with us.

Tickets will be posted through the Doylestown Historical Society’s website or visit us on our Facebook page under Doylestown Haunts. Tickets will be $10 with all proceeds going to the historical society.

If you have your own ghost story to tell, please email us at doylestownhaunts@ gmail.com.

The Impact and Importance of Agriculture in Bucks County Bucks County is one of the three original counties created by colonial proprietor William Penn in 1682. Penn named the county after the county in which he lived in England, Buckinghamshire. He built a country estate, Pennsbury Manor, in Falls Township, Bucks County, on the Delaware River.

Penn saw the rich land as beneficial on many levels, with ports in nearby cities, and bisecting rivers. Waterways were the major highways of travel and commerce for the first 200 years of Bucks County growth, until railways became a strong contributor for increasing commerce and travel.

Enjoy exploring these historical and current sites in our region that include regional mills, homesteads, mansions, river vistas, hiking trails, and universities!

Kids Castle is Temporarily Closed While Upgrades Continue for Children of all Abilities

The Kids Castle playground is now temporarily closed while improvements continue for Children of All Abilities.

The playground will remain closed until the project is completed. It’s estimated to reopen in late December 2021.

Central Park itself will remain open while the Kids Castle playground itself will be temporarily closed until the project is completed.

In addition to inclusive play upgrades, the size of play areas will also be increased and more Poured-in-Place (PIP) safety surfacing will be installed. This PIP safety surfacing helps provide equal access and ease in maneuverability for all.

Other improvements will involve excavation and installation of subsurface drainage pipes, rough grading, concrete formwork & pours, the install of a stone subbase, retaining walls, and more.

This temporary closure of Kids Castle marks another step in the ongoing “Build the Kingdom” campaign, aimed at achieving and

expanding inclusive play at the playground for children of all abilities including those of special needs.

The Friends of Kids Castle volunteers were instrumental in securing over $193,000 for these improvements through the generosity of individual donors, sponsors of play equipment, local businesses, the Township, private organizations, and the inkind donations of goods & services.

During this temporary closure, new play structures will be installed that meet the needs of children with a variety of abilities at all ends of the spectrum to encourage and enable them to play with one another.

Play features are also included for children with visual impairment, hearing impairment, autism/SPD, mobility impairment, and cognitive disabilities.

The Kids Castle playground will remain closed until these upgrades are completed. The Park itself will remain open during the entire project. Volunteers are still actively fundraising for additional upgrades for Kids Castle that are needed for children of all abilities.

The Doylestown Arts Festival Delivers a Comeback Weekend for Local Community

Clear skies and full hearts were center stage in historic Doylestown as the 30th annual Doylestown Arts Festival commenced. An estimated 12,000 people came out to support the local community as the festival returned to the streets for the first time since 2019.

Volunteer organizers worked for over ten months to carefully plan and execute the annual tradition, which is made free to the public, in partnership with Discover Doylestown, Doylestown Borough, and dozens of local businesses, organizations, and residents. Throughout the planning of the event, organizers worked hard to strike a balance between public health and sustaining the festival’s mission to support the local art, business, and cultural community.

“We navigated some uncharted waters to make this year’s festival possible and it took a village,” said volunteer director Paul Boger. “We didn’t know what to expect. We worked through the challenges and counted on everyone to do their part. The turnout and support from every corner of the region was incredible to witness. I’m very proud of what our team and community accomplished here.”

For many of the 125+ artists and musicians, this was their first return to public events in nearly two years. With the ongoing impact of Covid-19 on the local economy, the festival could not have come at a better time. As the streets filled with art and music, people came out in force to show their support. With dozens of artists, small businesses, and restaurants reporting their highest sales weekend in recent memory, in some cases of their careers, the impact of this vibrant weekend was more than substantial.

Ferule Designs POP-UP Exhibit

When most people enter Brooke Conroy’s space, they immediately ask, “What is this?!” She has come to best describe it as “a deviation from reality.” Conroy then explains to them how she is an installation artist, specializing in large scale display and that her goal is to create an inviting, whimsical environment, saturated in color and full of discovery moments.

One of these moments of discovery is the pine needle fox that peeks out from behind a 6’ mushroom. Visitors are invited to come in, take a closer look and even sit on the sofa to have their photo taken in this psychedelic meadow. Photos can be printed on the spot for $3, but otherwise the exhibit is free.

Conroy is most interested in showcasing what it is that she can offer to clients... every detail is made by hand including the hand painted windows to the signage, poppies and tote bags. So ultimately it’s a branding experiment and a labor of love. Additionally the space will host yoga instructors, youth art classes, musicians and is open for private events and photography sessions.

Ferule is open on the weekends and event dates are posted to Conroy’s instagram @ferule.designs. People are encouraged to reach out to Conroy if they are interested in collaborating or hosting an event in the space.

For more info contact Brooke Conroy at 267-614-0797 or visit www.feruledesigns.com

Bucks Co. Park Named One Of PA’s Best Fall Foliage Areas

Those who attended were greeted with a scaled-down festival that did not sacrifice on quality. With talent ranging from professionals to students, the works and performances on display brought joy and wonder to many who explored the festival.

The Doylestown Arts Festival is made possible by a small volunteer committee of Discover Doylestown and is presented by the Thompson Organization. Plans for the 31st annual festival are already underway.

For more information about this year’s festival, please visit dtownartsfestival.com.

Pennsylvania is known far and wide for its fall foliage, and Bucks County residents don’t have to travel far to visit one of the state’s best areas to view the changing of the seasons, according to a recent ranking.

VisitPA, the state’s official tourism website, named Washington Crossing Historic Park as one of “10 Amazing Places to View Fall Foliage,” thanks to its historic sites, wildflower areas and nature trails.

VisitPA’s “Happy Traveler” guide called the park “an excellent place to discover the October foliage” in Bucks County. The website encourages people to climb the 125foot Bowman’s Hill Tower to get a 14-mile panoramic view of the county.

Located in the southern zone, fall foliage in Washington Crossing Historic Park is expected to peak in late October.

What Makes A Wine Fine?

By Aillinn Brennan Special to The Cardinal

Vintage From now through the Fall harvest, the 2021 vintage is being picked and fermented! Some years go better for wine growing than others. Vintage is important because it denotes the growing conditions of the grapes for that particular year, in a particular place. Factors such as the weather, climate change, wild fires, and drought all inform how a particular vintage will end up tasting. Wine critics put out charts with numeric ratings for vintages by region.

A Wines Report Card Ever see the pictures of fancy wine people, in a fancy hotel banquet hall with dozens of glasses of wine in front of them, swirling, sniffing, tasting and then spitting it out? They are evaluating wines. On wine labels you might come across a little round label that says “90 points” with some guy’s name on it like “James Suckling” or “Robert Parker.” You also might come across points and the name of a publication like “Wine Enthusiast” or “Wine Spectator.”

In the wine world you are striving for an “A” 90 or above. In Robert Parker’s rating system, 96-100 are “extraordinary,” 90 to 95 are” outstanding.” Anything less that 59 is “appalling,” you’ll never see a sticker for those ones! Look for those ratings stickers with a 90 or above and you found a fine wine!

Knowing Where It’s From: Region, Sub-Region, Appellation Specific regions and appellations, the village the grapes are from, can also point you toward a fine wine. The French wine region of Burgundy is famous for its Pino Noir wines. Within Burgundy there are sub-regions, and within the sub -regions are villages or appellations which must adhere to strict laws.

Time To Shop!

Let’s look for some red Burgundy. Robert Parker gave

the 2016 vintage of Côtes de Nuit (a Sub-Region of Burgundy) 97 points! A red, 2016, Cote de Nuits, from the appellation “Côtes de Nuit – Villages” goes for around $35. Not bad for an “extraordinary” wine. The grapes for this wine were sourced from multiple vineyards from within that appellation.

In Burgundy, some of the appellations produce some of the most expensive wines in the world. Those wines come from specific vineyards within a famous appellation.

Continuing to shop for Côte de Nuit, in the appellation of Vosne-Romanée, and the vineyard of Romanée St Vivant, that bottle of Pino Noir will cost around two thousand dollars depending on the vintage! Thirty-six dollars, two thousand dollars, they are both fine wines!

“California,” Red Wine Not so fine. 85 percent of wine produced in the United states comes from California. Regional designation is important to finding a fine American wine. California wines are popular and most people grab-and-go with a Kendall Jackson, or Woodbridge “California” cabernet.

If you just see the word California on the label, that means the grapes used to produce the wine can come from any AVA, American Viticultural Area, in the entire state which is huge, and produces vast numbers of grapes.

Think massive scale production, machine harvested grapes and swimming pool size vats of wine. It’s not necessarily a negative judgement on the wine, but “fine” has to be more special, about a specific place. It’s a macro, micro situation.

Next time, take a closer to look at the label and you’ll likely find one within the same price point with a regional designation such “Central Coast” or “Alexander Valley” or “Lodi.”

AVA’s within famed Napa Valley produce some of the world’s finest wines Vintage, points, regions, appellation, AVA! Now you’re ready to peruse like a pro next time you go shopping for wine. Happy new vintage!

RICE BALLS THE FAMILY RECIPE Arancini Sicilian Style Rice balls are a treat I would make every Fall for my children as they were growing up.

As the air would start to chill, I would like to make warm filling food like this for when my kids would come home from school.

Ingredients: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1 cup - Arborio Rice 4 cups - salted boiling water 1/4 Lb - ground beef 2 Tbsp - olive oil 1 clove - garlic 1/2 small onion, Minced 1/4 Lb - Mushrooms, sliced 2 Tbsp - tomato paste 1 cup - warm water 1/4 tsp - salt (or to taste) 1/4 tsp - Pepper (or to taste) 1/2 cup - butter 3 Tbsp - grated Parmesan Cheese 2 egg yolks 1 egg lightly beaten 1 cup - Italian bread crumbs 1 cup - olive oil (for frying)

Directions: • First, rinse your rice in cold water. This washes off a lot of starch from the surface of the rice, preventing the rice from getting a gummy texture.

Wash your rice until the water runs clear.

• Cook your rice in 4 cups of salted boiling water, until tender. Approximately 20 mins.

• Cook ground beef, garlic, and onion in 2 Tbsp of oil in a saucepan and brown gently. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 1 minute. Now add the tomato paste and 1 cup of water and cook for 30 mins. Add salt and pepper to taste.

• Drain the meat mixture into a separate bowl and save for later.

• Drain the fully cooked rice, and to your rice add butter and parmesan cheese. Let the rice mixture cool for about 10 min.

• To the rice, add the egg yokes and the bowl of liquid from the meat mixture.

• Make sure to mix the rice well, and fully incorporate the ingredients.

• With the cooled rice mixture, take enough to fill the palm of your hand, flat. Into the middle add your cooked and cooled meat and mushroom mixture.

• Reform the rice into a ball, with the meat and mushroom mixture in the middle or the ball.

• Dip the rice balls into the beaten egg, and roll it in the breadcrumbs.

• Fry in hot oil until golden brown in color.

• Serves 4 to 6. Can be served with a side of sauce for dipping!

Major Gift To The Oscar Hammerstein At Home at the Michener Art Museum year, and help us imagine better days ahead.” than three decades, Robert Beck Museum And Theatre Education Center Forhasmore It’s Personal presents a common theme been an integral part of the Bucks

Developer Shawn Touhill Donates Land for Bucks County Museum

T

he Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theatre Education Center (OHMTEC) recently announced a major gift that brings the nonprofit one step closer to its goal of purchasing Highland Farm, the historic Doylestown home of lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II. Developer Shawn Touhill has donated the 2.06 acre parcel of land adjacent to the house and barn at 70 East Road, Doylestown, which had been approved for development and has significant market value. The land is part of the planned museum and theatre education center, which OHMTEC will create on the Highland Farm property.

“We are very grateful to Shawn for this donation and his wanting to be part of a community that is stepping up to support this legacy project. This generous gift comes on the heels of our state matching grant and adds to the exciting momentum we are having to preserve and restore this national treasure,” said Greg Roth, President of the board of OHMTEC. “As part of the culturally rich landscape of Bucks County, Highland Farm will carry on Hammerstein’s legacy to inspire future generations,” said Touhill. “My family and I are both pleased and honored to have been a small part of this mission to preserve a little bit of history.”

The Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theatre Education Center is raising funds to purchase, restore, and preserve Highland Farm, Oscar Hammerstein’s former home

and creative epicenter in Doylestown, PA. Oscar and his wife, Dorothy, lived with their family at Highland Farm in for the last 20 years of his life. This is the place where he forged his legendary partnership with Richard Rodgers and that inspired many of their greatest musical works, including The Sound of Music, Carousel, The King and I, Showboat, Oklahoma! and South Pacific. It is also the place where Hammerstein mentored a young Stephen Sondheim, and where he contributed to society by increasing our awareness of social issues and the need for tolerance of diversity.

The entire project will cost approximately five million dollars. With the goal to create a multifaceted and dynamic museum experience, with a strong theatre education component, serving as a place of inspiration for Broadway fans and humanitarians alike, the organization is on a quick timeline to gather the support needed to preserve this treasure.

A limited number of naming opportunities are being offered for rooms and spaces in the house and barn at Highland Farm. To find out availability and prices for naming, contact Christine Junker, Secretary/ Treasurer at hammersteinmuseum@ gmail.com. Donations of any amount are welcome and can be made by check, credit card or appreciated securities. Those interested in supporting these efforts can visit the organization’s donation page at hammersteinmuseum.org.

Phillips’ Mill Art Show: 92 Years Old Yet New

G

et ready to be astonished, impressed, intrigued, provoked, and possibly haunted when the Phillips’ Mill Annual Juried Art Exhibition returns September 25th. It offers such a wide range of painting and sculpture that viewers can expect to feel a full spectrum of emotional responses to the artworks.

This year—the 92nd annual—will be a first as well, because the show will be hung in the Mill and will also be available for viewing online. Phillips’ Mill, situated near a whiplash turn in River Road just above the town of New Hope, is a gristmill dating from 1754. It has been designated a National Historic Site and is among Bucks County’s most picturesque spots.

“Winter Shadows,” by Francisco Silva, a Frenchtown-based artist, shows Phillips’ Mill in strong sunlight and colorful shadows. It has been chosen as the signature image for the show.

Each year, the jurors change, and jurors’ tastes vary. This keeps the show fresh and the topic of heated debates!

The show is organized and produced by a large team of volunteers. “Typically, 400 or so painters and sculptors will enter works. About 90 works will be chosen to display in the gallery and more

“Love Triangle (Paper, Rock, Scissors)” by Gene Underwood, from Buckingham, puts a new spin on a familiar hand gesture choosing game.

of the jurors’ selections will be in the portfolios, unframed. Another hundred or so unframed works are available in the portfolio section of the show,” says Laura Womack, a longstanding volunteer who is the art committee chair for the 92nd Show. “It’s an epic job,” she says, “to catalog all the submitted work, assist the jurors, return work that is not selected, and then hang the chosen artworks.

This is followed by roughly a month of monitoring the gallery and executing the sales that benefit the Mill. The volunteers work diligently for months preparing this Show.” This year, many additional hours will be spent to prepare files of all the artworks and upload them to the online gallery which makes e-commerce a secure click-through experience for collectors.

The 92nd Annual Phillips’ Mill Juried Art Show, September 25th–October 31st.

Open Wednesdays through Sundays, 1 pm – 5 pm. To learn more or to visit the show online, www.phillipsmill.org.

County art community, as well as painting and exhibiting internationally. He is known as a leader and iconoclast, expanding the region’s fine art tradition. The Michener Art Museum is presenting a retrospective of Beck’s work through the end of the year.

In spite of the breadth of his career, Robert Beck remains a hometown boy.

Beck grew up in Chalfont back in the 60’s, when the town was still mostly farmland.

He graduated from Central Bucks High School, “Back when you didn’t have to ask which one,” he says. “There were quartermidget races next to the bowling alley at the one shopping center, three all-night diners, and the prison was still a prison, not an art museum. This exhibition at the Michener has special significance for me. This is my home, and I get to celebrate with friends from all stages of my life.”

More than a “Best Of” exhibit, the Michener’s presentation of It’s Personal: The Art of Robert Beck is the remarkable story of a contemporary artist establishing a voice and creating an extraordinary body of work that will resonate for many years.

Robert Beck, Dog Day, 2012, oil on panel 24 x 30, Private Collection

Guest Curator David Leopold, Director of the Studio of Ben Solowey and Creative Director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation, explains: “For many in this area, Robert Beck’s paintings are as much a part of their world as Redfield, Garber, and Lathrop’s were to their time and community. As much as Bellows, Henri, and Sloan were to theirs.”

His work is as complex as it is distinctive and accessible. Beck moves freely between painting his subjects from life and working in the studio, choosing to let his experience dictate how he relates it. He uses a language that is easy to understand, with a scope of subject matter that led one critic to call him an omnivore.

Beck’ images call to mind universal experiences. The painting Skating Party depicts the nighttime event through Beck’s suggestion of blade marks and the bonfire’s reflection on the ice. In Moby Dick, a girl reads while sitting in a boat stored in her grandfather’s barn. Each have a powerful sense of place. The image of a Manhattan intersection in a snowstorm, Blizzard, makes your feet cold. This is not nostalgia, it is connection.

“Beck is adept at capturing not just the look, but the feeling or impression of a moment,” says Laura Igoe, Chief Curator at the Michener Art Museum. “His paintings convey a strong sense of community and belonging that resonates with many of us, especially in light of the challenges of the past

of “Us.” Episodes extend around the world, including man at a village well in Senegal and people eating breakfast at a café in Arles.

The show keeps you moving; you are taken to Avignon in the morning, Manhattan in the afternoon, Dakar at night.

Robert Beck, Carnegie Hall, 2016, oil on panel 24 x 30 inches, Private Collection

Where the Pennsylvania Impressionists and Urban Realists (Ashcan School) painted subjects of their time, Beck’s focus has been on our here and now, extending the region’s heritage forward with images that are remarkably accessible for contemporary work. The viewer doesn’t labor to see where Beck has brought them. He concentrates on a rapidly changing world; one he takes part in as well as observes. His writing in ICON magazine—a body of essays spanning 16 years—pulls a curtain back on art for tens of thousands of readers.

He also hosted a radio interview show focused on creativity. Beck’s work was previously featured at the Michener at a fourperson exhibition in 1999, and in two other solo museum shows (Trenton City Museum 2007, Maine Maritime Museum 2016), 10 museum invitationals, 85 juried exhibitions, and 35 solo gallery exhibitions. Beck is represented

by Morpeth Contemporary, in Hopewell, NJ, where a separate exhibition of his recent work runs from October 8th through the 31st (morpethcontemporary.com).

Leopold has constructed a narrative for the Michener that blends the chronology of Becks career and his extraordinary relationship with the community with a selection of the diverse subjects that Beck has painted. There are two beautifully printed books that accompany the exhibition: a volume of Becks ICON Magazine essays, and a comprehensive catalogue. The show includes videos and audio recordings, so bring your smartphone and earbuds.

As It’s Personal: The Art of Robert Beck, contains more than 70 works, and leaves you with a sense of the artist’s contentment. “My paintings are a celebration, rather than a catharsis,” says Beck. “They are conversations that start out, ‘Have you noticed?’”

David Leopold remarks in the catalogue: “Fifty or one hundred years from now, when scholars or laypeople want to know about the art of our time in this storied region, they will turn to Robert Beck’s work to get a real sense of who we are, what we did, and even from that distance, how it felt.”

It’s Personal: The Art of Robert Beck, runs through January 2nd. For more information visit www.michenermuseum.org photo of Robert Beck by Bob Krist

arts Found, Gifted, Saved! The Mercer Museum Collects Local History Exhibit Opens at the Mercer Museum October 15, 2021

T

he Mercer Museum, operated by the Bucks County Historical Society (BCHS), is pleased to announce its new major exhibit, open from Friday, October 15, 2021, through Sunday, April 10, 2022, entitled Found, Gifted, Saved! The Mercer Museum Collects Local History, opening in the Martin & Warwick Foundation Galleries at the museum.

Found, Gifted, Saved! The Mercer Museum Collects Local History displays a staggering array of artifacts collected by the Bucks County Historical Society between the years of 2000 and 2021. These objects, images, and documents help illuminate the people, history, and culture of Bucks County.

The exhibit consists of a series of thematic groupings that connect diverse objects, images, and documents in a meaningful and thought-provoking way. These groupings are intended to suggest themes that range chronologically and geographically across Bucks County’s past.

The themes on display in the Found, Gifted, Saved! exhibit are: • Made in Bucks – Includes objects crafted, manufactured, and marketed in Bucks County, from the 18th through the 20th centuries.

• The Way We Played – Features artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries related to sports, games, and children’s play in Bucks County.

• The Times of Our Lives – Includes items that accompany the stages of life: infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. This group also included important rites of passage and rituals such as baptism, marriage, and funeral customs.

• A Diverse People – Features artifacts, documents, and images that illustrate Bucks County’s historical racial, ethnic, and gender

diversity, as well as those that document the arrival of immigrants to Bucks County.

• What We Wore – Includes a broad sampling of men’s and women’s head-, foot, and outerwear from different periods in Bucks County’s past.

• Thank You for Your Service – Displays objects, images, and documents representing Bucks County residents in service to their country and community.

• Which Side Are You On? Politics & Social Movements – Features political campaign and election materials, labor union artifacts, and items connected with various social or environmental movements.

• The Way We Worked & The Tools We Carried – Includes a variety of implements used or carried by local laborers, objects that represent various types of workplaces, and images depicting the working lives of Bucks County’s people.

• It Pays to Advertise! – Features numerous examples of advertising and commercial ephemera created to promote local businesses and industries.

• Going to School in Bucks County – Includes objects and images related to public and private education and students’ school day experiences in Bucks County.

• Wish You Were Here: Visiting Bucks County – Exhibits materials related to Bucks County’s long history of attracting tourists, day-trippers, artists, celebrities, and seasonal visitors, especially in the 20th century.

• Collecting the Now – History continues to happen all around us. Materials in this segment reflect some contemporary events, issues, and concerns, collected while these events were happening.

• Staff Picks – Mercer Museum staff have their own ideas about what local materials BCHS should collect – and why. This regularly-changing segment of the exhibition will highlight artifacts or images that staff members find particularly interesting, relevant,

or evocative. Get to know the staff and the connections that they make to the collection!

Highlighted artifacts on display include a Brewster F2A “Buffalo” Fighter Cockpit, a Joseph Ellicott Tall Case Clock, a Brashears Family Crazy Quilt, and a Graflex Press Camera of Gene Asro.

Bucks County Historical Society’s Vice President of Collections and Interpretation Cory Amsler states, “A huge challenge for museums collecting local history is to adequately represent - in objects, images, and documents - the full complexity of a community’s past and the diversity of its people. We hope this exhibit launches a conversation with visitors about what we have been able to capture, what we have missed, and whether the things we’ve acquired help tell the stories that are most important and relevant to us as Bucks County residents.”

Members of the Bucks County Historical Society are invited to preview the exhibit early at a dedicated Member Morning on Friday, October 15, 2021, with reserved timed-ticket entry exclusively offered for members online.

Found, Gifted, Saved! The Mercer Museum Collects Local History is sponsored

by Tom Thomas, Jim and Kathy Morrison, Alice and Bob Vernon, Brian and Louise McLeod, Raphael Architects, Happ Contractors Inc., and Lower Bucks Hospital – Prime Healthcare.

Found, Gifted, Saved! The Mercer Museum Collects Local History is included with general Mercer Museum admission.

In addition, the Mercer Museum will host a slate of community programs related to the exhibit throughout the season.

The Mercer Museum is open Tuesday - Sunday from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. via timed-entry slots and closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. Advance tickets are highly recommended. To learn more, visit mercermuseum.org.

Announcing the Doylestown Health Travel Medicine Program

The world is struggling out of the pandemic. Borders will eventually re-open.

Many are looking forward to a time when they can take their travel itineraries off the back burner. Before you do head back out into the wider world, consider consulting with a travel medicine specialist to get the most out of your trip. Doylestown Health has launched a travel medicine program to safeguard traveler health and help ensure a

positive trip experience.

“A travel health consultation is not just for Peace Corps workers,” says Alyssa Wankewicz, MD, Doylestown Health infectious disease specialist. “Vacationers to developing countries also benefit from preventative medicine and education.”

According to the CDC, at least half of travelers to low- and middle-income countries become ill with a travel-related health problem. Dr. Wankewicz adds, “It is also important for travelers with chronic health conditions or those visiting high-altitude locations ­ — Denver, Colorado, for example — to talk to a travel medicine physician about strategies for traveling safely.”

The Pre-Travel Assessment The Doylestown Health Travel Medicine’s board-certified infectious disease physicians offer comprehensive, customized pre-travel assessments. The visit includes a review of the traveler’s medical history and pre-existing conditions to mitigate travel health risks. The doctor will examine your trip itinerary to gauge the need for preventative medications, like malaria and traveler’s diarrhea prophylaxis, and counsel on local infections and how to properly prevent them.

The Post-Travel Assessment Infectious disease specialist Michael Kimzey, DO, recommends post-travel assessments with Doylestown Health if there are health issues following travel.

Dr. Kimzey explains that “Our travel medicine team sees patients post-travel who manifest symptoms such as fevers, rashes, gastrointestinal issues, or other travelrelated health issues that general medicine doctors may not have experience with.”

Making an Appointment It is recommended to book your travel health assessment four to six weeks before traveling to ensure adequate time for vaccination and other preparations. Go to doylestownhealth.org/TravelMedicine to learn more and book an appointment.

Dementia Society Of America Unveils New International Headquarters In Doylestown

The Dementia Society of America, a support and resource organization based in Doylestown, celebrated its eighth anniversary on Thursday by unveiling the group’s new international headquarters.

Local officials including Bucks County

Commissioner Bob Harvie, Doylestown Borough Mayor Ron Strouse, and Borough Council Woman Noni West were present for a ribbon cutting to mark the occasion.

Kevin Jameson, founder, volunteer president, and chairman of the Dementia Society of America, is proud that the organization can bring people together to connect over shared experiences of dementia, a syndrome which can feel isolating.

“At the end of the day, we want people to know that we are here to serve the community and communities across the country,” he said.

The organization’s mission, as stated online, is to educate about “the spectrum of conditions collectively known as dementia,” to provide awareness materials and resources, and to recognize the hard work of caregivers everywhere. The Board of Directors and Advisory Council are both made up of volunteers passionate about their cause.

The new headquarters is located at 188 North Main Street in Doylestown.

In Its Fourth Year PINE2PINK Launches With More Community Participation Than Ever Before The Community Driven, Experience-Based Non-Profit Will Take Over Five Towns and Add The Corinne Sikora Wellness and Support Center As a Beneficiary

T

he Pine2Pink Foundation 501(c)(3), an experiencebased, community-driven non-profit dedicated to local breast cancer patients is slated to kick-off the 2021 fundraising season on September 29 during a live event from Fonthill Castle in Doylestown. The Foundation is adding the Corinne Sikora Wellness and Support Center as a beneficiary, alongside Fox Chase Cancer Center Buckingham, Grand View Health and Doylestown Health. The 2021 season of Pine2Pink is presented by Allied Mortgage Group.

The month-long program is designed to raise money for local cancer patients while bolstering local businesses.

The Foundation is recognized for its innovative monthlong program that changes hundreds of lights pink in each town, conducts a month long augmented reality driven local retail scavenger hunt, curates local retail based special ‘Pink’ offers, changes Pine Street to Pink Street, and hosts a variety of events.

New in 2021, is Pine2Pink’s takeover of the Doylestown Town Farmers Market and a full immersion into the Mercantile, a local department store hosting hundreds of local makers from Bucks County. Pine2Pink can be experienced in New Hope, Carversville, Peddler’s Village, Doylestown and Perkasie. With the Thompson Dealerships, coined Thompsonville, changing 350 lights across their sprawling lot.

“Our non-profit is seeing community involvement like never before. A non-profit’s measure of success is usually relegated to funds raised. I believe how those funds are raised is also a measure of success. This year we have seen a big spike in community participation. Not only by the number of sponsors and partners who have come to us, but by the community members who are taking matters into their own hands and hosting fundraisers and organizing events for us. We designed Pine2Pink to be community-driven. Watching that vision become a reality is tremendously rewarding,” states Pine2Pink Founder and

Executive Director Keith Fenimore.

To date Pine2Pink has started and funded ten unique programs ranging from cold-capping to out-of-pocket expense relief, integrative services through Unite For Her, patient food delivery, comfort bags for newly diagnosed patients, treatment transportation and the purchase of new state-of-the-art infusion chairs. To stay local but expand our giving program, we are donating a portion of funds raised to the Corinne Sikora Wellness and Support Center, a nonmedical facility that is free to cancer patients in Bucks County and offers integrative services, support, therapy and a multitude of extracurricular classes and events. Learn more at www.corinnesikoracenter.org.

Kristina Fenimore, Director of the Corinne Sikora Wellness and Support Center states, “As a 100% donation based facility for cancer patients across Bucks County, getting support from Pine2Pink and the community at large is essential to our success and provides us with the means we need to offer the best, and most comprehensive slate of services to the cancer community across Bucks community who rely on us.”

The Program: Pine2Pink is recognized for its creation of ‘experiences’ that reimagine the ways people in the community can engage and donate. In each location, the experience begins by changing Pine St. into Pink St. Additionally, each town’s streetlamps and retail and residential exterior lighting are refitted with pink bulbs or gels, resulting in a captivating pink cast throughout October. The Pine2Pink free app launches a virtual immersive pink ribbon scavenger hunt with over 50 prizes. More than 100 virtual ribbons are hidden throughout participating towns.

As a part of “Eat, Drink and Buy Pink,” specialty items

are created by community sponsors and partners, and every purchase will benefit Pine2Pink. Find a complete list of special offers at https://pine2pink.org/offers/.

Visit the Pine2Pink website, to donate or participate in, community events (www.pine2pink.org). Donations can also be made via check and sent to P.O. Box 307, Doylestown, PA 18901.

SUN DOG YOGA STUDIO - continued from page 1

How do you like living and owning a business in the downtown Doylestown area?

I love Doylestown and the wonderful people that inhabit it. I grew up in a small town around the same size as Doylestown, and I feel comfortable with the sense of community available here. I have been lucky to live close to the studio, so my “commute” for the last 10 years is a 2-minute walk up the hill! I find that people are pretty much the same, and good at heart, wherever you go . . . it’s seeing the connection that we all share as the key!

How was your experience owning a small business during Covid? How did you keep your doors open, while several other studios unfortunately didn’t make it?

What does the song say, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger..”? It’s clear that no one has gone through the time of Pandemic unchanged or without facing significant challenges.

Having a business like a yoga center where we are constantly in physical proximity and using physical touch to help our students made it quite problematic, to say the least. We were able to pivot quickly to put all classes online, which we know was a lifesaver for so many of our students at that critical time. While we feel blessed to have had that as a way to stay connected, the need to continue to pay for a brick and mortar space at the same time was quite hard.

With the help of government loans, the generosity of many of our students and family, and a dogged determination to keep our doors open made it just possible . . . and certainly very difficult at the same time. We feel fortunate that we have been able to keep our beautiful space, and look forward to this fall when we can welcome back old students and greet many new ones into our yoga home.

There are many different types of yoga.

Tell us a little about your lineage, Ashtanga yoga. What is this practice all about?

Ashtanga Yoga is a philosophy and “map” for self-transformation and living a great life. It encompasses ethical tenets (Yamas and Niyamas) that show us how to not only be a good human but interact with kindness and integrity in our community as well. This philosophy incorporates physical

postures (asana), breath work (pranayama) and stages of meditation.

Physically, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga incorporates breath, movement, and meditation all in one yoga practice. This is the predominant practice we offer at the studio, and we feel it is a very powerful and beautiful form of yoga that can be adapted for everyone.

The centuries old yoga philosophy of Ashtanga Yoga has come to us from the yogic sage, Patanjali. The physical practice of Ashtanga has come to us through the family of S.K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India.

What types of changes and additions are you making for this fall season to Sun Dog Yoga Studio?

We have re-branded our Ashtanga Yoga program to offer something for everyone, so that those new to the practice can start at the beginning or find a level and length of class that suits their needs. We are adding in two new Yin Yoga classes which focus on releasing the connective tissue in the body, and bring balance through a slower and more gentle experience than our Ashtanga classes.

We have also added back our popular Gentle Yoga on Sunday mornings at 11:30am, which took a break during the Pandemic.

What other services do you offer at Sun Dog Yoga Studio?

We have graduated hundreds of students over the last decade through our Anatomy of Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Programs.

We also offer Private and Semi-Private Group Yoga Sessions.

In addition, I offer Intuitive Bodywork Therapy and Soul Guidance Sessions. I have been practicing various forms of bodywork therapy for the last thirty years and incorporate my depth of somatic knowledge of the body, combining it with my study of yoga and indigenous teachings.

Briefly explain the benefits of yoga and is yoga for everyone?

The main intention of yoga, as I see it, is to help us have the best experience of being a human as possible. That means working on a physical level to create a balanced body, both flexible and strong, and keeping joints, muscles, tissue, and bones happy and

humming at all ages.

Connecting with our breath not only kicks in our relaxation responses, but can also help us stay present and grounded in the face of stress. Learning to follow the breath and connect with our true inner being becomes a simple form of meditation that can produce wonderful results.

Yoga can help us recognize that we are multi-dimensional . . . we have a mind, a body, a heart, emotions and all are connected by our energy. I have always said that yoga helps you become more aware – and you can’t change something you can’t see, so this is the first step to transformation.

Once we begin to recognize our patterns of thought and behavior, and move from our heart with compassion and clarity, life becomes more enjoyable and the chaos and challenges that arise can be managed rather than pulling us under.

What class/classes would you recommend for a first-time student?

A fan-favorite over many years at Sun Dog Yoga is our Yoga Basics 6-Week Course.

In this workshop we take time to break down important postures, introduce practical breathing practices and learn to flow in an out of postures with many modifications for all bodies given along the way.

This fall we have a new beginner class on the schedule: Ashtanga Lite on Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30pm. Other options include our Vinyasa Lite classes (Tues. & Thurs. 11am), Gentle Yoga (Sun. 11:30am) and our new Yin Yoga (Wed. 11am and Sun. 4pm).

Do you have any upcoming workshops or events planned for October?

We will offer a Yoga and Crystal Singing Bowl Meditation, which will be a fundraiser for Pine2Pink on October 8th. We will also offer a Heart Chakra Workshop and a Headstand Workshop in October. Please check out our website for additional information regarding the dates and times of workshops and our new fall schedule. https://www.sundogyogastudio.com/

style Entertaining Outdoors When The Weather Cools Down

By Victoria Guillot The Cardinal Contributing Writer Extend your Outdoor Entertaining with Style It’s that in-between time of year again.

The air is cooler and the days are shorter.

Somehow during a pandemic, this impacts our lives more than normal because to stay safe we’ve been doing a lot of entertaining outdoors. In summer weather that’s easy.

Once the temperatures drop and the sun sets earlier, this becomes more of a challenge.

Under normal circumstances, we move the party indoors when the weather changes. However, many people are still reluctant to spend any more time than necessary indoors with others, vaccinated or not. So how do we keep our social lives humming in cooler weather? And how do we do it with style?

Bring on the warmth!

Take a cue from European outdoor cafes. Before your guests arrive, add throws and blankets to keep everyone warm as the temperatures drop. Fold and

or worse-- toppling over and starting a fire. For extra safety you can use batteryoperated Luminara flameless candles.

The flame movement looks so real! The glass of the lanterns reflects the flame and seemingly multiplies it. Jumbo lanterns add drama and practicality. Because they sit on the floor you don’t need extra tables for the candles, so you can spread light in more places.

drape one over each chair so your guests can help themselves as soon as they start to feel chilly.

Depending on the weather, your options range from light pashminas to cashmere throws and wool blankets. (Some throws are so pretty I’ve been known to wear them as great shawls when I go out.

Shh…. Don’t tell anyone.)

Everyone loves sitting around a fire pit. Not only will it keep you warmer, there’s something special about the ambience when you add the element of flickering light. Options exist for all types of décor ranging from rustic to exotic to sleek contemporary metal.

Take it up a notch. For a truly memorable evening, try sprinkling candlelight around the area.

Besides now that it’s getting dark early, you’ll welcome the soft lighting. There are so many lovely lantern options, and the glass sides will keep your candles from being extinguished by any breezes

Add the comforts of your living room to the outdoors.

Don’t forget the floor. A nice rug somehow makes the space feel warmer than a bare floor does, and it really boosts the style.

Outdoor rugs have come a long way in the last couple of years. You can find rugs that look like you borrowed them from your living room to extend the same hospitality to the outdoors.

Here I’ve taken a seating set and accessorized it different ways to give you inspiration.

It’s up to you how you coax your guests to want to leave after an evening in such a cozy and charming setting.

This month I’ve curated a collection with special designer trade access to firepits, lanterns, throws, outdoor rugs and beverage tubs. Get access by using the links at https://stagecoachservices.com/ home-shop.

Victoria Guillot is a home stager/interior designer of 15 years based in Buckingham/ Doylestown. A 6-time Best of Houzz winner, she has been featured on a 26-episode radio series and is author of a book of tips on home staging.

biz bits Bucks County Biz Supplies Foundation

A

s runners across the country are trained for races to honor the heroes of Sept. 11, 2001 - on its 20th Anniversary - one Bucks County business geared up behind the scenes.

Greco Promotions, the lead supplier to Travis Manion Foundation and which recently launched the nonprofit’s online company store, is creating 1,700 medals Fred Greco

and other gear for upcoming races on Oct. 3. The foundation, which empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop and lead future generations, is named after 1st Lt. Travis Manion who was fatally wounded by an enemy sniper while aiding and drawing fire away from his fellow Marines in the Al Anbar province of Iraq in April of 2007.

“It’s such an honor to be a part of this effort,” said CEO Fred Greco, from his Doylestown warehouse. Greco, who was in New York on 9-11, has grown the business from his New Jersey home 17 years ago into a tri-state leader of high-quality promotional products, screen-printed and embroidered apparel, to help companies achieve their marketing goals. Greco

Promotions recently won four awards, including being named an “Inc. 5000 Company.”

Greco recently launched Travis Manion Foundation’s company store (https://shop. travismanion.org/) as well as accomplished fulfillment for Travis Manion Foundation’s Joggin’ for Frogmen race, which supports survivors within the Naval Special Warfare community. Greco Promotions also decorated 2,500 backpacks for the foundation’s national back-to-school initiative.

Greco, who grew up in Feasterville, Pa., always had a passion for sports. He worked for the Reading Phillies, New York Mets, and at Madison Square Garden doing special events before running the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers.

“Every day, I would stand in front of the Twin Towers to catch the waterway shuttle up the West Side Highway,” said Greco, On Sept. 11, he assisted in the set up of a triage at Chelsea Piers while the CIA took over his office.

Following Sept. 11, Greco started Global Golf Events, making a business from his love of golf. In 2004, he started Greco Promotions, running the company from his grandfather’s house in Richboro.

Later, he approached Travis Manion because the impact of 9-11 never left him. Over the last year, GP met the needs of several companies needing personal protective equipment.

“With up-to-date technology and support, Greco Promotions continues to help businesses and nonprofits stand out by providing cost-effective imprinting service and branded merchandise that builds meaningful brand awareness,” Greco said.

In accordance with Act 18 of 2016, the Bucks County Tourism Grant Program provides grants for projects for tourism marketing, promotion, product development, enhancement of attractions, special events and festivals that drive overnight travel to Bucks County and do not compete with private sector tourism.

The deadline to apply is 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 7, 2021. All details regarding the tourism grant application process can be found at VisitBucksCounty. com/Grants. Specific questions regarding the grant program can be directed to Visit Bucks County Business Development & Events Manager, Jenna Giuliani at JennaG@ visitbuckscounty.com.

Bucks County to Establish Clean Energy Loan Program for Business Property Owners

Bucks County commissioners have agreed to establish a loan program for business property owners that will help further the push towards clean energy.

In mid-September, the board of commissioners passed a resolution to establish the Bucks County Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy Program, or C-PACE. The program provides business property owners with low-interest loans towards clean energy and clean water projects. The state created a program under a similar name in 2018.

Under the county’s program, Commissioner Robert Harvie Jr. said business

property owners can use the low-interest loans towards energy-efficient projects, like installing solar panels, energy-efficient windows and energy-efficient boilers.

“The other benefit is that it is tied to property taxes in a way so that the payments of the loan are embedded into your annual property tax bill,” said Harvie.

In addition, repayment of the loans can also be transferred over, should the property change owners, according to Harvie. (wfmz.com)
