The Wayward Traveler Celebrates Wayne Magazine
Publisher: Wightman Publishing, LLC Editor-in-Chief: Laurie M. Wightman Art Director: Christie Casselring Contributing Writers: Ryan Kasley, Laurie Wightman Photography By: Brenda Carpenter, Christie Casselring
Editor’s Letter OCTOBER 2014 October has arrived and welcomes us with the exuberant colors of autumn that are beautifully sprinkled throughout Wayne. Pumpkins line the streets of neighborhoods and businesses in anticipation for the great harvest season. The crisp air sweeps in, wool sweaters come out and Halloween reminds us to keep a devilish perspective on life from time to time. October has always been my most favorite month for these reasons and much, much more. This month I am able to add one more reason to that list. I’m thrilled to announce the one year anniversary of Wayne Magazine! It has been a year filled with marvelous experiences, rewarding challenges and many lessons learned on how to run a business. At 36 years of age I am proud to say that this is the best decision I have made to date. However, the success of this magazine relies entirely on the community embracing it and the advertisers supporting the publication. I would like to offer my personal gratitude to all of you who have supported this special magazine in its infancy stages within this last year.

As I said a year ago, this magazine’s intention is to bring you back to a time when supporting and connecting with fellow neighbors, businesses and organizations was what living in an American town was all about. I am fully confident that this is only the beginning my friends and Wayne Magazine will continue to deliver on this intention each and every month. I’ve learned to think big, continue to have faith and never give up on what I believe in. I am fortunate enough to have such amazing parents who have helped teach me these values, and who have also been the backbone to this entity. It is due to the support of them along with my talented art director Christie Casselring, my family and friends, my advertisers and all of you that have made this first year of Wayne Magazine a true success. As my grandfather used to always say, Onward Excelsior! Sincerely,

DOG OF THE MONTH by Laurie Wightman
Meet Cosmo, a four-year-old retired Greyhound. Cosmo was adopted from the National Greyhound Adoption shelter in Bensalem, PA two years ago by locals Robert and Gretchen Groebel along with their children, Robert and Owen. Cosmo was born in Alabama and raised in a dog racing syndicate. After being tested at an early age, Cosmo was not found to be an especially good racer. He was put in the greyhound rescue program almost immediately. But it was all for the best, as the Groebels were able to find him that much sooner. Or as Robert Groebel would say “Cosmo chose us.” The Groebels and Cosmo connected instantly. Even Robert Jr., who was not particularly fond of dogs, fell in love and bonded with Cosmo instantly. Cosmo loves to sleep and takes naps around the house throughout the day. After exhausting careers as racers, most Greyhounds prefer a sedentary lifestyle in retirement. They make excellent dogs for people who work during the day. They are low maintenance, and require minimal exercise (two or three walks a day). That is not to say that Cosmo doesn’t enjoy his play time. He loves his rope toys, which also helps prevent dental issues, a health issue Greyhounds are prone to getting.
The Groebels enjoy taking Cosmo on walks throughout Wayne, and frequent Braxton’s for all of his toys and treats. Robert points out that Greyhounds must be kept on a leash at all times, since their first instinct is to “chase the rabbit” so to speak. When Cosmo is not walking around Wayne, he is hoping to sneak a piece of his favorite snack food, prosciutto. “He absolutely loves it, and can smell it from a mile away,” said Robert. The National Greyhound Adoption Program, whose headquarters are in Philadelphia off Route One, is a great resource for prospective greyhound owners. They categorize each dog according to the needs of the prospective family. The cost of adopting is inexpensive and includes: spay or neutering, shots, and dental. Another perk is that they are already house trained. Robert highly recommends greyhounds for those considering owning a pet. They are “loyal, social, protective, and know their place in the family,” he said. Not every Greyhound that is retired from the racetrack is fortunate enough to make it to the shelter. However, by adopting one, you create space for another dog that needs a home. More information on Greyhounds and the adoption process can be found on the NGAP website, www.ngap.org.

The Annual Community Clothes Charity Event: RUNWAY READY WITH A NEW LOCATION By Laurie Wightman The ever-so popular and well-anticipated Community Clothes Charity event is back in full swing this October with a new location and a fresh inventory of new and gently used high-end designer clothing and boutique items. Formally located in Wayne at the Eagle Village Town Hall center, the event will now take place in the stunning Carriage Barn at Liseter, located at One Liseter Road in Newtown Square. Anne Hamilton, cochair of Community Clothes Charity is simply elated with the new location just down the road from Wayne. “We are very thankful that Toll Brothers is donating this gorgeous space to us,” said Anne. “They have been incredibly generous and we are absolutely delighted to have such a beautiful location for this year’s event.” The barn will offer double the space from previous years, and will come fully equipped with a kitchen and ladies rooms. The sale dates will be Wednesday, October 29th through Saturday, November 1st. Donations will be accepted from Thursday, October 9th through Friday, October 24th at The Carriage Barn at Liseter. CCC is a non-profit organization with a volunteer committee of over 50 dedicated women. Once a year in October these volunteers work hard to raise funds for a different charity by holding an annual sale of merchandise that is donated by exclusive stores, top designers and many friends of
CCC. The highly successful charitable sale features labels such as Chanel, Armani, Ferragamo, St. John, Escada and much more. There is a large selection of high quality coats, suits, dresses, evening gowns and sportswear that will be marked down to just a fraction of their original cost. The donations come from a number of well-known upscale boutiques, stores and designers from across the Delaware Valley as well as donors in New York City and New England. There is a boutique area at the sale that offers a wide array of new and donated jewelry, gift items, belts, hats, accessories, scarves and handbags. Mrs. Benjamen Coates, also known as Nancy Coates, established the organization in 1957 as the Hospitalized Veterans Service of Pennsylvania. This was the Pennsylvania branch of the Musicians Emergency Fund, Inc., a New York non-profit organization providing musical therapy programs for the wounded veterans. Mrs. Coates, along with her co-chairman Mrs. John T. Dorrance, Jr., were determined to make this an impactful organization for the mentally confused veterans in Pennsylvania. The organization supported musical therapy programs in three hospitals in Pennsylvania – The Coatesville Veterans Administration Hospital, the Lebanon Veterans Administration Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital at Leech Farm in Pittsburgh. “We provided WayneMagazine.com | October 2014
13
musical therapy to aid in treatment for these disturbed veterans. They would receive music lessons that would help them get back into a joyous condition, particularly for the ones that played instruments prior to the war,” said Nancy. “We had choral groups that would come into the hospitals, as well as orchestras that played during lunchtime. You would have thought you were at the Ritz because they were such good musicians. All they needed was to have their interest revived. It really was quite an important thing we were doing.” The Hospitalized Veterans Service of Pennsylvania had glamourous theater benefits at the Shubert theatre such as Red Head, Saratoga and Jamaica. These extravagant benefits along with clothing sales, and “A Day at the Races” in Delaware were all to raise funds for the despondent veterans in Pennsylvania. In 1959 the organization raised $6,576.52. “That was a big deal back then and we thought we were millionaires,” remarked Nancy. “We were so excited to give back to the hospitals and veterans that we were working with.” Over the years the organization was restructured to its present form in 1977. CCC has raised and donated over $3.9 million dollars to many commendable beneficiaries that affect women, children and veterans. Each year the Committee chooses a couple of different charitable groups to receive the proceeds of the sale. This year the sale will benefit: Acting Without Boundaries, Chester County Family Academy, Baker Industries and Mighty Writers.
“We are going to refit the entire school which we are thrilled about,” commented Anne. “Many of these students don’t even have a bed to sleep in when they go home. We are going to provide new cots for the children to take naps in at school, as well as new desks and supplies. What I hope to do is to put this school in the forefront and raise awareness to the community.” Mighty Writers and Baker Industries have both raised a lot of money themselves, but CCC will be making a donation to these two remarkable organizations as well.
The first of the two main beneficiaries is Acting Without Boundaries. “This is a nonprofit that I’ve been involved in for many years,” said Anne. “It’s a theater program for teenagers and young adults with physical disabilities. They work together to put on performances while pursuing their love of acting. We have a $100k grant to offer new hearing, video and tech-equipment to the organization.” The second main beneficiary is the Chester County Family Academy.
Perhaps Mrs. Lytle Hull, 1959 President of the Musicians Emergency Fund, Inc. – NYC said it best, “It is a measure of the greatness of our society here in America that we are still vitally concerned with the human needs of others. This willingness of our people to extend a helping hand is something that is rooted in the tradition of our country and from which we draw much of our moral strength.” Be sure to come out and support all that CCC does for so many people.
CCC has made such a large impact in Philadelphia and the Main Line through the years. “These days we can really make a difference with helping more than one or two organizations. We couldn’t do it without the generous support of our donors, volunteers and shoppers that contribute in one way or another each year. We are so grateful to everyone that comes out to support this organization,” said Anne.

THE VIOLETTE DE MAZIA FOUNDATION
A&C arts & culture
By Ryan Kasley
The average person spends only ten seconds reading the blurb next to a piece of art at a museum, and a mere three seconds actually looking at the artwork itself. The Violette de Mazia Foundation—dedicated to educating people how to appreciate art and aesthetics in every day life—“takes the intimidation out of art appreciation.” The de Mazia Foundation is offering several lectures and seminars at the Wayne Art Center this fall, in addition to its normal course offerings in the greater Philadelphia area, that will teach you how to slow down and actually enjoy art. The foundation was created in 1988 per the will of Ms. Violette de Mazia, one of the most influential art educators of the 20th century. Born in France, though of Russian descent, de Mazia emigrated to the U.S. from London in 1924. She began working for and learning from Dr. Albert Barnes in 1925, when the Barnes Foundation first opened. Within two years she was teaching at the Foundation. Ms. de Mazia and Dr. Barnes took the objective analysis process being championed by scientists at the time, along with theories developed by their friend and colleague,
philosopher John Dewey, and applied it to art and aesthetics. This approach to art appreciation was virtually unheard of in the art world until this point. Ross Mitchell, Executive Director of the Violette de Mazia Foundation said of the relationship between Ms. de Mazia and Dr. Barnes that “a great intellectual partnership was formed.” Together de Mazia and Barnes wrote several books on artists such as Renoir, Matisse, and Cézanne, and published countless essays. Upon Barnes’ death in 1951, de Mazia became Director of Education at the Barnes Foundation. Marcelle Pick, president of The Violette de Mazia Foundation, recalled the very first class she took under the tutelage of Ms. de Mazia. “She asked us what could we see from the painting?” said Pick. “A woman,” one student answered. To which de Mazia responded, “You don’t see anything, you just see paint on the canvas,” meaning to look past the subject (the most impulsive of observations). Violette de Mazia emphasized looking beyond one’s first impression and initial

emotional response to the artwork, to see past the subject. Mitchell underscored how the Foundation enables students to look beyond the surface. “A painting is not a recreation of reality, but rather it is an artist’s record of their experience using creative distortion,” Mitchell said. The de Mazia Foundation’s introductory art appreciation course, Part I: Informed Perception, follows in the footsteps of this philosophy and teaches the principles of color, light, line, and space to help students develop a deeper understanding of art and the aesthetic world around them. There are two more courses in the core educational program. Part II: Traditions takes the skills acquired in Part I, and applies them to art throughout history. Part III: Seminar, allows students to study specific artists or theories in depth. The Foundation also offers walking tours of Rittenhouse Square and Old City in Philadelphia. Classes meet regularly at the Barnes Foundation, and have been taught at both West Chester University and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Certain classes are also available for college credit. One of the foundation’s outreach initiatives includes a youth education program for fourth and fifth graders in underserved schools in the area. Spearheaded by Elizabeth Latham, Education Coordinator for Young People’s Programming, certified teachers from the de Mazia Foundation spend one hour a week in the classroom with students throughout the entire school year. Latham helps the children develop a vocabulary to better understand art. She notes that one principle in particular really enables the children to “see” art— composition, or the “invisible skeleton that gives structure to the subject matter,” Latham said. The Foundation also offers after school programs for young kids of all ages at the Main Line Art Center. For more information on The Violette de Mazia Foundation and its courses, seminars, lectures, or youth education programs visit www.demazia.org or call (610)-971-9960. `

A FRENCH AWAKENING: One Local’s Journey through France By Ryan Kasley
T
his past July I finally made my first trip to Europe. France had been calling me for as long as I could remember—the culture, the food, the history—a writer’s paradise. For two weeks I backpacked my way to three iconic destinations: Paris, Nice, and Bordeaux. My small budget meant rooming with other travelers in both hostels and apartments via Airbnb.com. Yet everywhere I stayed, I made lifelong friends. Together we managed to connect with locals and experience life as a native. I allowed myself one exceptional culinary experience in each city—three meals I will remember for the rest of my life. Paris should be top of the list for anyone travelling to France for the first time. I ran straight to the Eifel Tower the Monday I arrived. At the summit I could survey the city from a premier vantage point. Iconic landmarks that I eventually saw like the Notre-Dame Cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, and Champs Elysées are
impressive nonetheless from a distance— and totally worth visiting despite long lines and big crowds during the peak summer tourism season. I also spent a significant amount of time simply wandering without any destination in mind. Start along the Seine River, and branch off from there. That was when I stumbled upon open-air markets, specialty food shops, and slipped into life off the beaten path. Fortunately, I was in Paris on the eve of Bastille Day, the French version of the 4th of July, and was able to attend one of the Fete des Pompiers (or Fireman’s Ball). The fire station in every arrondissement throws a huge party that is not to be missed. All the fire trucks had been removed from the six engine bays and replaced with three full size bars and a large stage complete with a cover band belting out French hits past and present. We all drank and danced in patriotic fervor until the sun rose.
T travel
Tucked away off Bouelevard Montmartre in the bustling second arrondissement, Bouillion Chariter is as authentic a French dining experience as one could ever hope for. The menu contains all the traditional favorites: foie gras, pate, tartare, escargot, roasted meats, and many others served small plate style at an unbeatable price (average 10 euros per main entrée). Accompanied by a bottle of Cote du Rhone, we worked our way through four heavenly courses. Don’t let the unassuming exterior or small queue forming in front of this former factory deter you from tasting the classics in this casual Parisian favorite. Nice, the queen of the French Riviera, is simply incredible. The vibrant, azure blue water of the Mediterranean provided the most refreshing source of relief from the summer heat. Stroll east along the palatial palm tree-lined shore-side Bouelevard de Anglais, past the playful pastel-colored eighteenth and nineteenth century architecture, toward Old Nice. Touristy yes, but find a restaurant that serves Mediterranean inspired seafood dishes Nice-style. I went to Le Romarin and got a house special Nicoises sampler, Assiette Nisarde, which features stuffed sardines, socca (onion tart), marinated octopus salad, fried panisse (chick pea-based fries) and stuffed peppers with sausage. Grab a bottle
of Rosé—still the wine of choice in the region—and watch a sunset from the Pointe de Rauba-Capeu at the end of the cape for a spectacular view of the coast. Bordeaux and fine wine, the two are synonymous. This wine-growing region is legendary. A plethora of different tours are available from the tourism office in the city of Bordeaux—reserve tickets well in advance. Be sure to visit the medieval wine village of Saint Emilion, perhaps the most famous in the area. Taste, taste, and taste again. Buy as much as you can afford to bring back with you. You will not find wine this good in any PA wine store; trust me I’ve looked! Spend time exploring the gothic architecture of the city of Bordeaux as well. It won’t disappoint, especially with a stop for lunch or dinner at L’Entrecote. Queues form out the door starting at 11:00am for thinly sliced steak filet and homemade frites smothered in their super secret sauce. The three-course prix fix gets you salad, two servings of steak and unlimited frites. Wherever you decide to travel to this fall, slow down and savor the local cuisine with the natives. Worry less about seeing everything. Chances are you will love it and be back again before you know it.

the
Wayward Traveler by Fritz Kellner
Greetings and salutations to my friends in Wayne. It is with a warm and cheerful heart that I once again embark on another adventure amongst the residents of this fine community. My goal of finding the “Quintessential Cocktail” continues to elude me; however, I am ever confident that I shall prevail and attain this elusive ghost in the not too distant future, and perhaps in a different manner than previously reported. However, before describing my latest activities I must defer to an equally important announcement. As this issue represents the magnificent month of October and its attendant glorious autumn season, there is also more reason to rejoice since it announces the first anniversary of your favorite publication, Wayne Magazine. Without its presence here there would be no need for the Old Codger’s services, and I might then just fade into obscurity. While this possibility would indeed cause me some serious anxiety, I am led to believe that it would come as a disappointment to several members of the community. This last dictum however while appearing a bit pompous is in no way a reflection of the true humility that embodies the soul of this Old Boy. During its first year, Wayne Magazine initiated and aptly managed by Miss Laurie Wightman has definitely been embraced by the community. Under her able stewardship, many of you have already stated that it has indeed become the “Voice of Wayne.” It has become an endearing ingredient in the lives of many residents who anxiously
await its monthly arrival. It is symptomatic in unifying the town as though it weaves a golden thread of friendship for all. It is a magazine that is devoted to providing all of you with items of common interest, anecdotes and a high level of content which produces value to both the people and businesses in Wayne. The message for its second year as our old friend Jimmy Durante would say is, “Folks you ain’t seen nothing yet.” Stay tuned for future missives on this subject. Now back to your Old Wayward Traveler. After a glorious summer of agreeable weather I ambled back to Wayne in October looking for you know what. By accident I stumbled upon the Devon Fall Classic which provided a most congenial atmosphere for yours truly. It did not take me long to become familiar with the grounds. As I wondered about admiring the horses and riders I was approached by a hail lass who introduced herself as a regular participant in this event. Within a short time I was invited to her lovely stable abode where I relayed my story concerning my pursuit of the elixir cocktail. In a matter of minutes I was given a lovely cocktail filled with blueberries and peaches paired with cinnamon and Grey Goose vodka. A refreshing drink indeed that I might add went down rather smoothly. I can readily see that this second season will direct me to destinations within the area which will remain mysterious for the reader to ascertain the exact location and cocktail of choice. It will be an exciting season ahead of us. Until next time my friends.
