Chester County Plans for International Overdose Awar
eness Day Include “Light the Night” Evening of Remembrance and Hope
\n
As part of Chester County’s commitment to com
bat the opioid epidemic\, the County’s Department of Drug & Alcohol Servic
es announces its participation in “International Overdose Awareness Day” o
n Tuesday\, August 31\, 2021.
\n
On this day\, Chester County will jo
in communities around the world in encouraging residents\, businesses and
organizations to raise awareness of the effects of opioid addiction\, and
reduce the stigma surrounding overdoses and drug-related deaths. Importan
tly\, the County will focus on remembering the lives of those lost to over
dose\, and acknowledge the grief felt by families and friends who have los
t a loved one.
\n
From the morning of Tuesday\, August 31st\, 101 pinwheels\, representing the 101 lives lost in Chester County to a
ccidental overdose in 2020\, will be displayed in front of the Chester Cou
nty Justice Center on Market Street in West Chester and the County’s Gover
nment Services Center on Westtown Road.
\n
On the evening of August 3
1st\, a special “Night of Light” event will be held on the step
s of the Historic Courthouse in West Chester\, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The
public is encouraged to attend this event.
\n
“This year\, we will t
ake time to remember those that we have tragically lost to substance use d
isorders\, and also bring a message of hope to those working toward long-t
erm recovery\, including family and friends who are supporting them\,” sai
d Vince Brown\, Executive Director of the Chester County Department of Dru
g & Alcohol Services.
\n
“Night of Light” will begin at 6:30 p.m. wit
h a time to gather information and local resources that support those suff
ering from substance use disorder\, plus a time to prepare messages of lov
e and hope for luminary bags.
\n
“This will be followed by a time of
guest speakers\, including the words of a mother who lost her son to subst
ance use disorder\, and a message from one of Chester County’s certified r
ecovery specialists\, who is on-call for hospital emergency rooms\, to mee
t with those who have survived an overdose\, and help to move them straigh
t to recovery.
\n
The evening will conclude with the lighting of lumi
naries and a moment of silence.
\n
“Although we saw a slight decline
in accidental overdoses last year in Chester County\, substance use disord
ers are still extremely prevalent\, and one life lost to the disease of ad
diction is one too many\,” added Vince Brown.
\n
Chester County remai
ns committed to tackling the opioid and heroin epidemic through intensive
health\, education\, treatment and law enforcement measures\, coordinated
by its Overdose Prevention Task Force.

This exhibition is a presentation of nearly 50 paintings and
drawings of local buildings that inspired Wyeth time and again over seven
decades of his career.
\n
The artworks in this exhibition are drawn
exclusively from the nearly 7\,000-object Andrew and Betsy Wyeth Collectio
n of the Wyeth Foundation for American Art\, now managed by the Brandywine
. Many of these pieces have never before been exhibited\, offering a first
glimpse at a significant treasure trove that will shed new light on the c
ollaborative creative process of Andrew and Betsy Wyeth.
\n
Andre
w Wyeth: Home Places shares the story of a remarkable immersive and i
ntensive artistic practice that ranged across the full array of media Andr
ew Wyeth practiced. Over the course of a long and diverse career of many c
hapters\, Wyeth repeatedly depicted a small group of historic houses in th
e vicinity of his hometown of Chadds Ford\, Pennsylvania. In these weather
ed buildings others might have overlooked or even scorned in the face of g
entrification and commercial development of the region\, Wyeth found layer
s of emotion and association. These structures—both venerable and vulnerab
le in a changing Brandywine Valley—served as a means of pursuing his abidi
ng attention to that which lies beneath the surface of things. Through liv
ing in this landscape his whole life\, he engaged in an artistic practice
of uncommon focus over an extended timescale\, coming to know deeply the e
vocative buildings in a radius of just a few square miles and rendering th
em in an astonishing variety of compositions\, handlings and approaches. A
s Wyeth said\, “You can be in a place for years and years and not see some
thing\, and then when it dawns\, all sorts of nuggets of richness start po
pping all over the place. You’ve gotten below the obvious.”
\n
Among
the previously unexhibited works on view are the charming early oil Th
e Miller’s Son\, painted when Wyeth was just 17 years old\, and the s
tunning watercolor Noah’s Ark Study made at age 87—both depicting
the same property\, Brinton’s Mill. That the Wyeths came to own and resto
re this property for use as their primary residence is among the many cont
ributions of Betsy James Wyeth\, whose distinct role in stewarding histori
c properties in Pennsylvania and Maine\, which informed her husband’s pain
ting practice\, is a key context of this exhibition.

ew by joyfully singing directly into the face of great adversity with pers
everance\, guts and guile\,” said director Jenn Thompson. “For decades\, <
strong>ANNIE has continued to shine brightly\, not only
as an appeal to our better angels\, but also as an example of the thrill o
f hope\, hard-won: promising a better ‘Tomorrow’ not only for Annie hersel
f\, but for all who need her message now more than ever.”
\n

Holding onto hope whe
n times are tough can take an awful lot of determination\, and sometimes\,
an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Litt
le Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is
always right around the corner\, and now the best-loved musical of all tim

\n
By permission of Tribune
Content Agency\, LLC\, ANNIE is based on Harold
Gray's popular comic strip “Little Orphan Annie” which premiered in the 1
920s in the New York Daily News and became one of the most widely
read strips in the 30s and 40s. Lyricist Martin Charnin
bought a coffee table book called “The Life and Hard Times of Little Orph
an Annie” as a Christmas gift for a friend in 1970. The clerk at the books
tore was too busy to wrap the book\, so Charnin took the book home to wrap
it. Instead\, he read it and fell in love with the strip and set out to
secure the rights. The friend never got the book.
\n
The original production of ANNIE had
its world premiere on Aug 10\, 1976 at the Goodspeed Opera House (Michael
J. Price\, Executive Director) and opened on Broadway on April 21\, 1977 a
t the Alvin Theatre (Neil Simon theatre). It went on to win the New York
Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical\, seven Drama Desk Awards incl
uding Best Musical\, the Grammy for Best Cast Show Album and seven Tony Aw
ards including Best Musical\, Best Book (Thomas Meehan) a
nd Best Score (Charles Strouse\, Martin Charnin). It clo
sed on Broadway after playing 2\,377 performances. ANNIE was revived on Broadway in 1997 and again in 2014. Ithas been made into a film three times (1982\, 1999\, 2014)
and was most recently featured as a live television production on NBC. T
he show remains one of the biggest Broadway musical hits ever\; it has bee
n performed in 28 languages and has been running somewhere around the worl
d for 45 years.
\n
The beloved score for <
strong>ANNIEincludes “Maybe\,” “It’s the Hard
Knock Life\,” “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile\,” “Easy Street\
,” “I Don’t Need Anything But You” and the eternal anthem of optimism\, “T
omorrow.”

Chester County to Hold Virtual Open Space Summit \nCele

\n
WEST CHESTER\, PA_ Chester County Commission
ers Marian Moskowitz\, Josh Maxwell and Michelle Kichline\, along with lea
ders of Chester County’s Planning Commission and Parks + Preservation\, ar
e hosting the annual Open Space Summit on Thursday\, April 29\, 2021. \nThe Summit includes a report on Chester County’s 2020 open space preser
vation achievements and ongoing commitment to the program\, and will take
place via Zoom from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. Chester County Commissioners’ Chair M
arian Moskowitz said\, “Throughout this pandemic\, Chester County’s protec
ted open spaces have been a haven for thousands of people to safely visit<
br />\nand enjoy\, and have helped to not only improve our physical health
\, but provide a remedy for our \nemotional and mental well-being too
.
\n
“Anyone who wants to find out more about the true value of prese
rving open space in Chester County\, and how their own local community can
contribute\, should ‘attend’ the summit.” Each year\, the Chester County
Planning Commission inventories and maps all protected open \nspace i
n the county through its Protected Open Space Tracking (POST) system. Last
year\, it was reported that a total of 142\,000 acres of open space\, or
29.3% of the county was protected over the course of 2019. This year\, the
findings indicate that the addition of 2\,100 acres protected in 2020 bri
ngs Chester County to 144\,000 acres of open space\, or 29.7% of the count
y’s land.
\n
“We are inching closer to Chester County’s current goal
of 32% protected open space\, which is amazing\,” said Chester County Comm
issioner Josh Maxwell. “The benefits of our 32-year commitment to preserv
ing our fields\, forests and farms have increased the quality of life for
all \nof us\, environmentally and economically – way beyond what was
imagined back in 1989\, when the program began.” \nThe 2021 Open Spac
e Summit will provide an overview of preserved land data\, followed by pre
sentations about what Chester County’s towns and townships can do to prote
ct open space within their own communities. Topics will include informatio
n on open space tools (implementing zoning ordinances and other programs)
as well as outreach. A question and answer session\, along with break-out
group discussions about Municipal Open Space Funds\, Agricultural Preserva
tion\, and Conservation Tools\, will conclude the summit. \nChester C
ounty Commissioner Michelle Kichline said\, “A key part of the success of
Chester County’s open space program is partnership\, especially with our m
any conservancies and our municipalities. As we look to expand the network
of protected open space\, we will focus on \nconnecting larger expan
ses of preserved lands\, and ensuring that protected open space and workin
g lands are appropriately managed. \n“These actions will help us to m
eet environmental goals\, and contribute to the continued health and well-
being of everyone who chooses Chester County as their home.” To register f

DESCRIPTION:
Artist Andrew Wyeth’s model and confidante Helen Sipala has
released a book written from diaries she kept of conversations with the fa
mous American artist. The book\, Beyond the MARRIAGE Bed: My Years as
Friend\, Model and Confidante of Andrew Wyeth\, was published this mo
nth by Regent Press of Berkeley\, Calif.
\n
Beyond the MARRIAGE B
ed is an intimate look at Andrew Wyeth the artist and the man and his
close relationship with Helen Sipala\, model and confidante. The book giv
es a rare glimpse into the world of a true and talented artist through Hel
en’s 20-year diary. Wyeth didn’t want his life “sugar-coated” and Helen di
dn’t do so.
\n
\n
Helen Sipala’s memoirs as a long-time f
riend of Andrew Wyeth.
\n
\n
An Amazon review stated\, “The book
dives into the good\, the bad\, and the ugly. It reveals a heartfelt pers
onal account of friendship\, wealth\, love\, folly\, infatuation\, heartac
he\, hardship\, and tearful moments among the buttercups. An eye-opener an
d page-turner!”
\n
A book signing will take place on May 5 from 6 to
8 p.m. at Barbara Moore Fine Art\, Chadds Ford Village and Barn Shops\, 16
09 Baltimore Pike\, Suite 400 A\, Chadds Ford. The cost of the 200-page bo
ok is $29.95 The book can be obtained from Barbara Moore Fine Art\, the Re
gent Press\, http://www.regentpress.net/\, or other social media book sites
.
\n
In March 1989\, Helen and George Sipala met Wyeth after they pur
chased the Chadds Ford home known as Painter’s Folly. Renowned artist Howa
rd Pyle used the home to teach art students\, including Wyeth’s father\, N
. C. Wyeth. During the years\, Andrew Wyeth visited Helen and George regul
arly\, sharing meals. The trio became close friends. A sought-after Christ
mas invitation was Wyeth holiday parties hosted by Helen and George Sipala
.
\n
During their years of friendship\, Andrew shared many private th
oughts with Helen. Helen also observed Wyeth\, an American master painter\
, as he created many of his masterpieces. Andrew invited the couple to maj
or national and local art events. The couple’s home\, especially the Widow
’s Walk\, was treated as a studio by Wyeth.
\n
“Over the years\, he s
tated several times that he hoped I ‘was writing all this down.’ You will
see by my notes when this happened I never responded to him. It was a know
n fact Andy preferred that writers not make his stories ‘sweet’ but to ‘pu
t an edge to it\,’” as Helen wrote in her Introduction.
\n
The dedica
tion to Wyeth captures the sense of the book\, “Yes Andy\, I did write it
down just as you “hoped” I would. I think you would be proud that the worl
d now knows the REAL Andy: sensitive\, generous\, compassionate\, comical
\, humble\, and a true gentleman!”
\n
Helen worked with Chester Count
y author Bruce E. Mowday on the manuscript and editing of the diary
Author Bruce E. Mowday will give a presentation on his lates
t true crime book\, Stealing Wyeth\, on Friday evening at Radley
Run Country Club.
\n
The book details the theft of 15 paintings from
the estate of Andrew Wyeth. The almost priceless works of art were buried\
, stored in junked cars and placed in an attic wall before being recovered
.
\n
“Radley Run is the perfect venue for the talk\,” Mowday said. “T
he theft of the paintings took place close to the country club. Seven of t
he paintings were by Andrew Wyeth and six were by his son Jamie.”
\n
The live presentation\, with safety precautions\, begins at 5:00 p.m. with
a dinner buffet costing $25.00. For reservations\, call 610-793-1660. Mow
day’s talk begins at 6:00 p.m. Radley Run is located at 1100 Country Club

\n

\n\n
E
leven years ago\, two artists opened their studios. Each artist invited fi
ve artists to share their creative space in hopes the community would come
and support the arts. This event later grew to include 12 studios and 25
artists. It officially became a two-day event with signs\, banners\, and a
catalogue highlighting the artists on the tour. Over the past 11 years we
have shown over 354 local artists\, weathered the elements\, pandemics\,
and furnished many homes with art\, while inspiring new artists to join us
. This year we can truly celebrate more than a decade of bringing the arts
to Chester County. Nothing is better for those who love great art and col
lect great art\, than these two days in May.
\n\n
“Aft
er 11 years of organizing the Studio Tour\, I am amazed at the talent tha
t keeps popping up in Chester County! We have many new and outstanding ar
tists joining us\, along with our stable of artists who create something n
ew every year for the tour\,” said Jeff Schaller\, artist and show coordin
ator. “This year the public will have a unique opportunity to see artist d
emonstrations at the participating studios. The tour has something for eve
ryone\, from the first-time art buyer to the seasoned collector\, in a wid
e range of mediums and prices. This year\, I’m also excited to share “Find
5.” If you don’t have time to make a weekend out of it\, visit our websit
e and click “Find 5!” We’ll find you the five closest studios to you\, so
you can get your creativity on nearby.”
\n\n
This ye
ar\, 148 artists in 59 studios will safely exhibit different mediums\, suc
h as painting\, sculpture\, jewelry\, photography\, clay\, glass\, paper a
nd fiber. Many studios have large properties allowing artists and collecto
rs to social distance. All the artists will be wearing masks while on hand
to share their studios\, discuss their work\, and meet buyers and browser
s alike.

Painter's Folly Restoration / Preservation Plan
Public Meetings / Open House
\n
Earlier this year\, C
hadds Ford Township was awarded a grant through PHMC's 'Certified Local Go
vernment' program to draft a Restoration/Preservation Plan for the histori
c site known as Painter's Folly. The architectural firm of Patterhn Ives\,
LLC\, was retained to perform the work. In 2018\, the local firm of Frens
& Frens Restorative Architects of West Chester joined Patterhn Ives\, off
ering extensive knowledge of the local area and experience in historic res
toration and preservation.
\n
Project Manager Carol Qu
igley states\, 'The benefits of revitalizing a historic structure though s
ensitive preservation extend well beyond the building and owner\; in some
instances\, entire communities are positively impacted.' This is certainly
part of the Township's goal to preserve the historic structure and to cre
ate a site where residents can gather for educational and community activi
ties.
\n
Patterhn Ives has now reached the point in th
eir endeavors where your input is sought. Two public meetings are schedule
d and you are cordially invited to attend. Each evening's presentation wil
l be preceded by an 'open house' of Painter's Folly\, with guided tours av
ailable. Light refreshments will be served.
\n
The mee
tings are scheduled for:
\n
- Tuesday\, July 27\, 2021
: 6:00 PM Open House/7:00 PM Public Hearing
\n
- Tuesd
ay\, August 24\, 2021: 6:00 PM Open House/7:00 PM Public Hearing
\nPlease mark your calendars to join the staff of Patterhn Ive
s\, the Board of Supervisors\, and other Township officials for the opport
unity to share your thoughts regarding the preservation and future use of
this historic structure. RSVP: admin@chaddsfordpa.gov or 610-388-8800\, ex

The Top Allman Brothers Tri
bute Band Has Received National Acclaim For Their Appearance On A
XS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” & Has Been Named As A Featured Pe
rformer On The 2022 “Time Life Southern Rock Cruise”
\n
LIVE AT THE FILLMORE (LATF): The Definitive Trib
ute To The Original Allman Brothers Band will be bringing the ear
ly music of the iconic Allman Brothers Band to the stage at Uptown
! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. High St.\, West Chester\,
PA) this Saturday\, July 31 at 8 PM.
\n
\n
Kicking off Uptown!’s tribute band series\, LATF’s show wi
ll offer fans an exact reproduction of the live concert performances of th
e original Allman Brothers Band featuring Duane Allman\, Dickey Betts and
Berry Oakley. Musically and sonically\, LATF recreates the experience of h
earing one of the greatest live bands of all time as they sounded in 1969-
1971. Particularly featured are the songs from the ABB’s monumental shows
at Bill Graham's Fillmore East Auditorium in New York City in March and Ju
ne of 1971 – when the members of LATF first heard the legendary band live.
\n
\n
'On June 26\, 1971\, I was at F
illmore East for the Saturday night late show\, the last public concert at
Fillmore East\, the one the ABB band calls 'THE SHOW\,' the one they feel
is the greatest performance they ever gave. I've never heard them or any
other band give a better performance before or since\,' said LATF Founder
and Guitarist/Vocalist Lou Maresca.
\n
\n
LATF is the continuation of the band’s devotion to performing the
music of the original Allman Brothers Band as it was performed in those e
arly years before the untimely deaths of Duane and Berry Oakley and the de
parture of Dickey Betts. According to Maresca\, “for me\, those years were
the ‘glory days’ of the Allman Brothers Band.”
\n
\n
LATF is
the top ABB tribute band and has received countless accolades and rave rev
iews for their authenticity and musicianship. In fact\, they’ve been named
as a featured performer on next year’s “Time Life Southern Rock Cruise” a
nd received national acclaim for their Spring 2017 performance on national
TV as part of AXS TV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands.”
\n
\n<
p>The LIVE AT THE FILLMORE (LATF): The Definitive Tribute To The Original
Allman Brothers Band show kicks off Uptown’s tribute band series\, which w

The Kennett Library Board of Trustees wil
l host a groundbreaking for the new Kennett Library and Resource Center on
Thursday\, Aug. 12 at 9 a.m. It will take place at the location of the ne
w building\, the corner of State and Willow Streets in the Borough of Kenn
ett Square. All are welcome to attend.
\n
\n
\n
“For over 20 years community members have planned\, worked\, and dreamt ab
out a new regional library and now in 2021 that dream will become a realit
y\, said Board President Jeff Yetter in a press release. “The Kennett Libr
ary is both a knowledge sanctuary and a community center. It is the soul o
f our community. It doesn’t matter who you are or what your background\, t
he library welcomes you and has something for you.”
\n
\n
\n
The Kennett Library serves as a literacy center for everyone
from infants to seniors. In addition to the core services of any library\,
there are storytimes\, in both English and Spanish to entertain and promo
te early literacy\; there are ESL\, U.S. Citizenship\, and GED classes. In
the last two years\, the library helped 24 community residents become U.S
. citizens.
\n
\n
\n
The Kennett Library has ser
ved the community for more than 125 years in just two buildings. The curre
nt building\, built in 1961 is outdated\, has a basic lack of space for bo
th materials and activities\, the facility’s antiquated core systems — uti
lities\, parking\, access\, storage\, etc. — are seriously deficient.
\n
\n
\n
Highlights of the new building include a 1
10-seat auditorium\; Bayard Taylor Conference Room\; children’s maker spac
e\; adult maker space\; two classrooms\; one multipurpose room\; four tuto
r rooms\; quiet and reflection room\; computer carrels\; several quiet rea
ding areas\; and an outdoor terrace.
\n
\n
\n
Th
anks to a core set of volunteers\, many of them who came before us\, we ar
e now in the early stage of building a new library that will serve the com
munity for another 50 years and longer. Thanks to our donors and supporter
s\, both past and present\, the Capital Campaign has raised 60 percent of
the $20 million-goal needed to build the state-of-the-art library and reso
urce center.
Join us IN-PERSON as we welcome Ed Pieters of Pieters Apiary
for a presentation everything you ever wanted to know about the honey bee
! Ed is a local beekeeper and holds a PhD in entomology\, and will share f
acts\, tips\, and more from his own personal experience and scientific kno
wledge. \nAgain\, this program will be held live and in-person at the
library on August 12 at 10:30 AM. However\, you will need to register so
we can keep this event safe and distanced. You can do so by clicking here. We can't wait to welcome you back!

The American Helicopter Museum and Education Center (AHMEC)
will celebrate this year’s annual World Helicopter Day on Sunday\, August
15\, from noon until 4:30 p.m. Two main events will make the day extra spe
cial: AHMEC’s first public helicopter rides since 2019 and the premier rol
lout of the newly restored McCulloch J-2 Gyroplane.
\n
The American H
elicopter Museum and Education Center is located at 1220 American Boulevar
d\, West Chester\, PA 19380.
\n\n
“We are excited to present heli
copter rides to the public this year\, as well as honor the hard work of o
ur volunteer restoration crew with our fantastic McCullough J-2\,” said Pa
ul Kahan\, AHMEC’s Executive Director. “We’re even happier that we can do
this in a way that celebrates rotary wing aviation\, which is what World H
elicopter Day is all about.”
\n
World Helicopter Day was founded in 2
015 by Australian Mick Cullen “to raise awareness of the contributions tha
t helicopters make to our society and celebrate the diverse range of peopl
e that design\, fly and support them\,” Cullen stated.
\n
Additionall
y\, AHMEC plans to highlight completion of its McCulloch J-2 Gyroplane\, a
two-seat gyroplane built by the McCulloch Aircraft Corporation in 1971. V
olunteer Derek Hart\, who directed the aircraft’s 4-year restoration proje
ct\, is proud of the accomplishment.
\n
“The McCulloch J-2\, the only
one of this type in the museum\, arrived at AHMEC several years ago\, hav
ing been donated by Light Horse Legacy and Marvin Wessel\,” explained Hart
. “The donation included major parts of the fuselage and many components i
n boxes. Major components necessary to complete the restoration had to be
acquired from contributors like the Pennsylvania College of Technology-Wil
liamsport\, PA\, Piasecki Aircraft\; and Olympic Tool & Folsom Tool In Ast
on\, PA. Others were fabricated by the talented museum volunteers.”
\n<
p>“We hope you will join us as we take to the skies on August 15!” Kahan a

vernment' program to draft a Restoration/Preservation Plan for the histori
c site known as Painter's Folly. The architectural firm of Patterhn Ives\,
LLC\, was retained to perform the work. In 2018\, the local firm of Frens
& Frens Restorative Architects of West Chester joined Patterhn Ives\, off
ering extensive knowledge of the local area and experience in historic res
toration and preservation.
\n
Project Manager Carol Qu
igley states\, 'The benefits of revitalizing a historic structure though s
ensitive preservation extend well beyond the building and owner\; in some
instances\, entire communities are positively impacted.' This is certainly
part of the Township's goal to preserve the historic structure and to cre
ate a site where residents can gather for educational and community activi
ties.
\n
Patterhn Ives has now reached the point in th
eir endeavors where your input is sought. Two public meetings are schedule
d and you are cordially invited to attend. Each evening's presentation wil
l be preceded by an 'open house' of Painter's Folly\, with guided tours av
ailable. Light refreshments will be served.
\n
The mee
tings are scheduled for:
\n
- Tuesday\, August 24\, 20
21: 6:00 PM Open House/7:00 PM Public Hearing
\n
Pleas
e mark your calendars to join the staff of Patterhn Ives\, the Board of Su
pervisors\, and other Township officials for the opportunity to share your
thoughts regarding the preservation and future use of this historic struc
ture. RSVP: admin@chaddsfordpa.gov or 610-388-8800\, ext. 100.

CASH UNCHAINED Perf
ectly Blends Rock ‘n’ Roll\, Country\, and Folk Music to Recreate the Orig
inal Sound of Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three
\n
<
/p>\n
TheUptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center
(226 N. High St.\, West Chester\, PA) will be celebrating the li
fe and legacy of “The Man In Black” as it welcomes renowned Johnny Cash tr
ibute band CASH UNCHAINED on Friday\, October 29 at 8 PM.
\n
\n
The
nationally sought-after band\, who is fronted by powerhouse\, 22-year old
lead singer James Tamelcoff\, has spent nearly five years touring the U.S.
\, performing at some of the most iconic theaters and venues\, to share th
e distinct sounds of Johnny Cash and his backing band\, the country/ rocka
billy trio known as the “Tennessee Three.”
\n
\n
Dedicated not
only to the authenticity of the music\, sound and execution of the perfor
mance\, CASH UNCHAINED is also committed to bringing the
Johnny Cash experience to the stage thanks to accurate portrayals
\, costumes\, and\, most importantly\, attitude and voice that only Tamelc
off and his band could provide.
\n
\n
In fact\, fans and criti
cs agree that Tamelcoff’s voice and passion for emulating Johnny Cash’s gr
itty\, low baritone sound\, are perfect for such recreating such songs as
“Folsom Prison Blues\,” “Ring of Fire\,” and “Walk the Line\,” plus songs
from the end of Cash’s career\, including his final hit “Hurt” written by
Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails).
\n
\n
“CAS
H UNCHAINED is a unique tribute to the ‘Man In Black’ that brings
the authenticity of Johnny Cash’s original performance to a modern stage\
,”said April Evans\, executive director of Uptown! “I think audiences of a
ll ages are really going to love watching them.”

itically-acclaimed Neil Diamond tribute band Cherry Cherry on Friday\, November 5 at 8 PM.
\n<
p> \n
Featuring veteran lead singer Steve Kelly\, who has been perfo
rming since the age of 13 and has over 30 years’ experience sharing the st
age with such greats as Pat Benatar\, Peter Frampton\, Joan Jett\, 38 Spec
ial\, Rick Derringer\, Foghat\, and more\, Cherry Cherry
has been hailed as the premier Neil Diamond tribute act thanks to their au
thenticity and dedication to the sound of one of the best-selling artists
of all time.
\n
\n
Unlike other tribute acts\, Cherry
Cherry does not attempt to impersonate Neil Diamond. Instead\, th
ey choose to honor his songs and stage performances by personalizing each
and every show for the audience. Playing such iconic hits as “Sweet Caroli
ne\,” which was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recor
ding Registry for being 'culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically
significant\,” as well as others from his 10 #1 singles including “America
\,” “Yesterday’s Songs\,” and “Heartlight\,” the group has perfected the a
rt of recreation in its highest regard.
\n
\n
“Cherry Cherry\, featuring Steve Kelly\, is unlike any other Neil Diam
ond tribute show out there. It exemplifies talent and professionalism with
the perfect combination of Neil’s exquisite sound and the band’s pure lov
e of the music\,”said April Evans\, executive director of Uptown! “Audienc
es are in for a treat.”
\n
\n
Ch
erry Cherry’s show is just one of many exciting upcoming performa
nces and events at theUptown! Performing Arts Ce
nter in November. Others include emerging local Philadelphia band
The Flying Komorowski Brothers (Nov.13)\; More T
han Just Standards\, featuring Jazz & Blues Vocalists Sara Michae
ls and Sharon Sables\, (Nov. 18)\; Max Weinberg’s Jukebox\, longtime Bruce Springsteen E. Street Band Drummer & Bandleader for bot
hLate Night with Conan O'Brienand T

Featuring Renowned
Singers Sara Michaels & Sharon Sables\, Two Generations Of Jazz W
ill Perform Re-Imagined Songs Ranging From Rock
And Pop To Classic Jazz and Even A Few Originals
\n
Two
Jazz vocalists\, two generations of music\, and two very different sounds
are coming together for ONE night of unforgettable music at the <
/strong>Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center (226 N. Hig
h St.\, West Chester\, PA) on Thursday\, November 18 at <
strong>7 PM. Sound too good to be true? Not when it’s a special e
vening with esteemed singers Sara Michaels & Shar
on Sables performing “More Than Just Your Jazz Standards.
”
\n
\n
For one night only\, these two sirens will jo
in forces to collaborate on songs by Gladys Knight\, The Beatles\, James T
aylor\, Cindy Lauper\, Carole King\, Elton John\, and Stevie Wonder\, as w
ell as jazz classics by Billie Holiday\, Nina Simone\, Edith Piaf\, Louis
Armstrong\, and more. However\, before their dual performance\, each will
be treating the audience to an exclusive solo performance featuring origin
al music from her respected latest collection of music\, including Michael
’s critically-acclaimed hit “Hard Winter” (2021) and Sables’ beloved album
Love Evermore.
\n
\n
Sables\, who found herself imm
ersed in the teen pop world as a young recording artist for LaFace/Arista
records in Atlanta at the age of 17\, has recorded with\, and for\, many o
f the era’s pop/R&B heavyweights such as Pink\, Babyface\, Mandy Moore and
Boyz II Men. Now\, she incorporates her pop influences into her jazz perf
ormances and is recognized as one of the region’s most respected interpret
ers of song with sold-out appearances throughout the East Coast.
\n
\n
Influenced by Sable to go beyond her jazz standard repertoire\, w
hich can be heard at Uptown’s “The Jazz Cocktail Hour” where she is the ho
st\, Michaels says\,
\n
\n
“We are two dif
ferent generations\, with two very different styles and sounds to our voic
es. Sables’ voice is pitch perfect\; sweet and clear with delicate dynamic
s and quite intoxicating. Whereas my voice has a soulful\, gutsy style wit
h a rich\, lower range that is quite a contrast from Sables. Both can tell
a story in song so differently\, and when we sing together it's oh so fun
!”
\n
\n
Performing alongside Sable and
Michaels will be The Terry Klinefelter Quintet\, featuring WCU’s Dr. Terry
Klinefelter on piano\, Jazz Guitarist\, Arranger\, and Producer E. Shawn
Qaissaunee (Stevie Wonder\, Broadway’s Greg Riley) and Philadelphia’s most
sought-after drummer Harry “Butch” Reed.
\n
\n
“More
Than Just Your Jazz Standards” is just one of many exciting upcom
ing performances and events at theUptown! Knauer
Performing Arts Center in November. Others include Max W
einberg’s Jukebox (Nov. 20)\; the Linda Ronstadt Experien

CVC to Host Annual Candlelight Vigil to Remember Those Lost to Violent Crime
\n
The Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County\, Inc. (CVC) will hold its
Annual Candlelight Vigil and Memorial Service to remember loved ones and f
allen law enforcement lost to violent crime over the years in Chester Coun
ty on April 28th at the Victims’ Memorial Site in Kardon Park a
t 6:00 p.m.
\n
One of CVC’s core services is to assist those who have
been victimized by crime through their process of healing through advocac
y and counseling. The Annual Candlelight Vigil and Memorial Service has b
een held since 1991 (with the exception of 2020). In conjunction with the
Candlelight Vigil\, about 15 years ago\, two then current CVC counselors\
, Tina O’Connor and Gina Basciani\, began working with survivors to proces
s their loss due to violent crime through a quilting project. Creating a s
quare unique to their loved one\, survivors have had an opportunity to wor
k through grief in a way that honors and remembers the person they lost. B
rooke Hedderick\, CVC’s Vice President of Operations\, who has been with C
VC for over 25 years shared “the quilt allows them to share their love and
memories in a supportive environment. We talk about the loved one that is
lost and share in the conversations – for instance - like they were such
a diva or he had the most beautiful eyes. As they mourn\, they remember\,
and there is a lot of laughter and tears.”
\n
Beginning with Sue Stal
lard as the first seamstress\, individualized squares have been sewn toget
her forming the quilt pictured. Sue transitioned from the seamstress of th
e quilt\, to a volunteer\, and then to a staff member of the CVC before sh
e passed in 2017. The squares include clothing articles\, photographs\, wo
rds of remembrance\, and many other beautiful\, and moving tributes. CVC A
rt Therapist Kate Stank\, took over helping with the quilting project in 2
012. She shared of working with clients and colleagues throughout the year
s\, “It was always a powerful experience to watch survivors work on the qu
ilt. The quilt is a keeper of memory and story of those lost and for those
who lost them. It allows us to know that person on a more personal level.
A cloth patch\, a snip of clothing\, a piece of jewelry\; all chosen by s
urvivors so that we can enter into the life that was…while honoring the lo
ss that is\, and always will be. The quilt holds their story now and for t
he future.”
\n
If you would like to participate in CVC’s Quilting Pro
ject to create a square for your loved one lost to violence please contact
Kate Stank at kates@cvcocc.org.
\n
For those wishing to attend the Candlelight Vigil\, the service and v
igil will take place outside at the Victims’ Memorial in Kardon Park\, Dow
ningtown. As the event is being held completely outside at the Memorial se
ating is very limited so if you would like to guarantee a seat for the ser

\n
\n
During this
month’s discussion\, “Washington’s Contemporaries\,” Davi

as left us. He will reflect upon Franklin’s role as the first American to
gain world-wide attention as a brilliant writer\, businessman\, politician
\, and scientist as well as the first to write what\, we refer to today\,
as a “self- help” book. Franklin’s autobiography was written not to leave
behind the stories of a great man so much as to show the entrepreneurial p

to life-scale\, onto the original locations depicted in the images. When
viewing the projection installation from the correct angle\, the image can
often have a three-dimensional or holographic effect\, which may feel as
though the viewer is looking into a window\, or “portal” into the past.

“On November 18\, 1965\, U.S. Navy pilot Willie Sharp ejecte
d from his F-8 fighter after being hit over North Vietnam. With a cloud la
yer beneath him\, he did not know if he was over land–where he would most
certainly be captured or killed by the North Vietnamese–or over the Gulf o
f Tonkin. What followed was a dramatic rescue made by pilots and other air
men with little or no training or experience in combat search and rescue.
Woven into this tale is the fascinating history of combat search and rescu
e mission that officially began in World War II.”

The Washington Memorial Heritage’s October “Lead Like George” Discussion E
xamines The Pinnacle Of Washington’s Leadership: His Presidency
\n
\n
The Washington Me
morial Heritage and David Cross and Indi
spensable Leadership (LLC) have unveiled one of their most pivota
l discussions to-date. The “George Washington’s Presidency: A Look
Inside His Most Challenging & Inspiring Period Of Leadership\,”
which is part of the “Lead Like George” leadership series\, will be held a
t the Washington Memorial Chapel (Rt. 23 Valley Forge Par
k\, Valley Forge\, PA) Thursday\, October 13 at 6
PM.
\n
During the event\, Davi
d Cross will examine what was\, in many ways\, Washington’s most challengi
ng period of leadership – his presidency. After leading the Revolution by
example and the period after the Revolution by stealth\, Washington found
that he must lead the way as he tries to determine just what a president d
oes and how he acts. At the same time\, he was faced with the daunting cir
cumstances of a revolution in France\, British challenges abroad\, riots a
t home\, and a Cabinet divided on the essential meaning of the new country
. Cross will discuss how Washington used every talent he has to give his c
ountry its head start and a fighting chance to survive the unknowable futu
re.
\n
The Washington Memorial Heritage Le
adership Forum Series is a History/Leadership and Author Events Program th
at kicked off earlier this year at the Washington Memorial Chapel. Drawing
upon America’s Revolutionary history\, the program examines the challenge
s and decisions faced by the country’s Founders. Analyzing their experienc
es\, the program provides lessons which help attendees in their business a
nd personal life.
\n
The price will be $20
per person per session\; students with proof of student status will be ad
mitted free.

DESCRIPTION:
West Chester University’s Wells School of
Music faculty\, staff\, students\, and alumni will come together to pay t
ribute to one of its most illustrious alumni: arranger\, composer\, educat
or\, and publisher Robert Harry “Bob” Curnow ’63. A week-long celebration
in honor of Curnow will culminate in a FREE public concert of the Criterio
ns Jazz Ensemble\, conducted by Curnow\, on Friday\, November 4 at 7:30 p.
m. in the Madeleine Wing Adler Theatre\, 817 S. High St.\, West Chester. T
ickets must be reserved at http://www.wcupatix.com/schoolofmusic.
\n
The
tribute recognizes Bob and Darlene Curnow’s ‘64 recent gift to the Wells
School of Music that includes more than 1\,000 charts and pieces of music\
, representing a gift that is valuable historically\, educationally\, and
monetarily.
\n
Curnow\, who currently resides in t
he state of Washington\, is the founder of the very successful Sierra Musi
c Publications. He played\, arranged\, and produced for the likes of the S
tan Kenton Orchestra and others in the 1960’s and 70’s. Curnow had just on
e request when asked how he wanted to be recognized for his gift.
\n
“I was the student conductor of the Criterions Jazz Ens
emble - “Crites” for short - when I attended West Chester University from
1959 – 63\,” says Curnow. “When Dean Chris Hanning asked how I would like
to be recognized for my gift I knew my answer. I wanted to come ‘home’ to
conduct the Crites.”
\n
The concert will feature m
usic from Curnow’s Sierra Music Publications library. Alumnus Matt Gallagh
er\, principal trumpet player for The Philly Pops\; acclaimed percussionis
t John Riley\; and faculty member\, alumnus\, and trumpeter\, John Swana a
re concert guest artists. During the week\, Curnow will rehearse with stud
ents and moderate a Masterclass.
\n
Curnow’s gifte
d collection includes 38 boxes full of books on music and arranging from C
urnow’s personal collections\, more than 1\,000 pieces of music that inclu
des scores and parts\, reel-to-reel tapes of recordings from past Criterio
ns concerts\, 78 RPM records\, and personal papers from Sierra Music. Whe
n he made the gift\, Curnow instructed that the collection be used at the
discretion of the University with a message that read\, “I entrust these t
hings to West Chester University as an expression of my sincere thanks for
teaching me and showing me the way forward.”
\n
D
irector of Jazz Studies Jonathan Ragonese says\, “We are deeply grateful a
nd honored that Curnow chose the Wells School of Music to house this valua
ble collection. The repertoire he is donating represents some of the best
big band charts ever written\, and now our students and ensembles have ope
n access to them. Our audiences also benefit from Curnow’s gift\, and now
have the opportunity to hear first-hand a sampling of these masterpieces.”

West Coast composer Christine Donkin’s music ha
s been described as “astonishingly beautiful”. Her Four Poems captures the
essence of poetry that describes the changing of the seasons and the mood
s that they invoke. Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony is warm and dramatic an
d contains only 2 movements of a typical 4 movement symphony. It was disco
vered 37 years after his death\, languishing in a desk drawer\, before it
was first performed. In Brahms’ Serenade No. 2\, the violins of the orches
tra are completely omitted\, which is highly unusual\, but gives the piece
a darker hued quality. Brahms was 43 years old before he wrote his first
Symphony and in order to prepare\, he composed this smaller\, shorter Sere
nade\, a masterpiece in its own right.

“Simply being persi
stent enough to devote a lifetime of effort to being a serious artist was
a considerable accomplishment for a 19th century woman\, when marriage and
its concomitant domestic duties so often meant the end of even the most p
romising careers.”
\n<
p>- Linda Nochlin\, “Women Artists after The French Revolution: Women
artists 1550-1950\,” Art in America\, 1976\n
SALIIM PROJECTS is
delighted to present its inaugural exhibition titled Ora et Labora
\, featuring works of two South Korea-born artists\, Soukjin Park and Haye
ong Kang. The exhibition will be on view from February 13 until April 2\,
2023 at 3715 West Chester Pike\, Newtown Square\, Pennsylvania.
\n
Me
aning ‘Prayer and Labor\,’ Ora et Labora brings together two women
artists and their work created over a period of a decade. Upon embarking o
n their journey into marriage and motherhood\, both artists go on to spend
the countless and nameless hours serving their young families at home. In
a time that our culture today calls “leave\,” the artists encounter exhau
stion and fragility\, but also find their artistic perspectives purified a
nd expressions refined. This exhibition celebrates each artist’s distincti
ve\, expressive language attained through years of introspection and artis
tic endeavor.
\n
Souk
jin Park
\n
In Park’s I am a Farmer series\, Park uses a f
ountain pen with Indian ink to painstakingly weave one fine stroke to anot
her. The laborious collection of delicate knots renders undulating rhythm
while subtle nuance of light coalesces into visually intense abstractions.
Evoking cultural and artistic traditions such as lace making and crochet
knitting\, Park’s industrious and instinctive mark-making is an articulati
on of her soul as her abstract landscape becomes the visualization of the
inner workings of her mind.
\n
Following the sudden death of her moth
er in 2014\, Park relocated with her husband and two children from New Yor
k City back to her family farm in a remote\, idyllic town in southeastern
Korea. Between long hours of arduous\, but rewarding labor in the farm alo
ngside her widowed father and taking care of her young children\, Park wea
ved bags and clothes - a place of healing\, contemplation and artistic exp
ression.
\n
The complex l
ayers of emotions from her experience on the farm as a young mother are in
terwoven within her atmospheric oeuvre – her scars from struggling through
the fatigue and stress of the farm and house work blended with her recoll
ection of the rewarding harvest of raspberries\, the smell of cherry tomat
oes in the greenhouse\, and the picturesque memories of her young children
on the farm.“This work is an
extension of myself – an articulation of my emotions and memories on that
farm and the restoration of my identity as an artist” says Park.
\n
Hayeong Kang
\n
Re
siding and working in South Korea\, Kang knits\, sews and weaves as she fi
lms\, photographs\, and sculpts\, exploring the boundaries of decorative a
nd fine arts. Consisting of 11 monochrome photographs and various fabric s
culptures\, My Mother’s Home encapsulates her multidisciplinary pra
ctice that explores the themes of renewal and rebirth\, temporality and fr
agility of human existence.
\n
Having lived and studied video art in
Paris\, Kang presents an emotionally-charged\, poetic impressions of life
which encompasses East Asian aesthetics and Western sensibilities.
\n
Printed in traditional hanji\, or mulberry paper\, the black-and-w
hite sceneries of nature in a deep mountain village in Gangwon province in
Korea turn into a moralizing landscape that echoes the art historical gen
res of the seventeenth-century Dutch landscape and still-life. As images o
f the dilapidated house\, the scallop plate raised above debris\, or tatte
red cassette tapes remind viewers of the ephemeral nature of life\, the bl
ooming cotton flower and snow covered buds offer a promise of hope and ren
ewed life.
\n
# 031030
features a ruined hanok in a rustic village. Whether it is the
cadenced geometric form of a broken window or the oscillating shadows in
a shattered door\, Kang’s sceneries harness a vibrant and textural beauty
that hovers between representation and abstraction\; they are simultaneous
ly ethereal and earthly\, mundane and foreign\, serene and full of life.
p>\n
Kang approaches reality with a purity of emotions\, awe and reveren
ce. Any place that surrounds her\, whether it is in the ordinary scene of
her living room or the majestic mountainside of her mother’s hometown\, be
comes her sanctuary for prayer\, contemplation and source material. “There
is a moment and a scenery that starts a conversation with me\, and I am t
rying to capture them.” says Kang.

Thornbury Farm Market hosts Thursday’s Town Tours & Village
Walks - \nFamily fun and healthy food available all year
\n
“Thi
s year’s topic for the free summer strolls is Our Agricultural Heritage\,”
said Randell \nSpackman of Thornbury Farm Market. “Our farm is an ex
ample of the long-standing agricultural \ncontributions to the commun
ity. Thornbury Farm Market is an excellent family destination all \nt
imes of the year.”
\n
Historic Thornbury Farm was established in 1709
. This farm has a rich history and \nprovides opportunities for commu
nity education. Visitors see what past and current efforts make \nthi
s family farm still viable today. The farm was central in the Revolutionar
y War Battle of \nBrandywine and the family strives to continue to pr
otect these resources.” \nOn Thursday\, June 22 the Town Tours & Vill
age Walks event begins at 5:30 p.m. with \nthe last tour taking place
at 7:00 p.m. Thornbury Farm Market is located at 1256 Thornbury \nRo
ad\, West Chester. The sponsor is the Thornbury Township Historic Preserva
tion Commission. \nThe program is administered by the Chester County
Planning Commission.
\n
The tour features: \n Thornbury Farm Ma
rket and CSA \n 1709 main farmhouse and c. 1740 barn \n Horse
Angels equine rescue \n Historic pipe organ \n General Stephen
's Stand historical marker beside Thornbury Rd. \n Blacksmithing dem
onstration \n Native plants display \n Refreshments and light
music
\n
Thornbury Farms offers a great selection of delicious fresh
produce\, fruits\, specialty items\, \nbreakfast foods\, jellies\, co
ndiments\, sauces\, treats\, and other goodies. We also have meats that \nare 100% free from any added hormones or antibiotics\, a super extra
virgin olive oil that won a \ngold medal in Europe for quality\, loca
l cheeses\, honey\, jellies\, and\, of course\, superior veggies \nan
d fruits. Ice cream is served.
\n
For the family\, Daisy the donkey\,
Rue the mini pony\, the goats\, plus Clover the pet pig are \non the
grounds. The farm can also be rented for weddings\, business gatherings
and other events. “The farm \nhas a beautiful setting\,” Spackman sai
d. “We’ve hosted a variety of events at the farm. Our \ngarden area i
s lovely for dinners\, weddings\, baby showers and other events. We featur
e a large \nwooden pergola with roof with a very large stone Bee-Hive
oven\, walk in cooler\, wash and prep \narea\, tours of the gardens\
, night time lighting effects and ample parking. We also work with \n
several local restaurants to help make your evening in our gardens perfect
.” \nThe farm has ample parking for guests.
\n
Thornbury Farm is
a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm where members receive
\nfresh fruit and vegetables. Thornbury’s fresh vegetables and herbs are g
rown using natural \npractices without the use of harmful substances
such as pesticides and herbicides. No chemical \nsprays\, synthetic f
ertilizers\, or genetically engineered seed are used. \nAlso\, local
breads and baked goods are available along with Swarmbusin’ Honey and Gold
en \nValley Coffee.
\n
Thornbury Farm is in the process of resto
ring a 1926 Mudler Hunter pipe organ. The organ \ncontains 2\,300 pip
es with a Haskell Swell Division and a Mollier Choir Division. The main \nblower is more than 100 years old and weighs in excess of 2\,000 poun
ds. The farm is raising \nmoney for replacement parts\, new leather s
eals and to update the electrical work. \nSpackman said\, “It is the
hope of Thornbury Farm to host several concerts and lectures each \ny
ear to serve the community. Our goal is to preserve an instrument of great
music but also \neducate others on history and art.”
\n
Thornbu
ry Farm was founded in 1709 with a stone house. The “main house” is the fi
rst \nquarried home in Pennsylvania and was built using the property’
s own quarry. On this location\, \nthere stood a log cabin that was b
uilt in the 1600’s. The original owner was a blacksmith who \nused th
e abundant lime stone to make flux in an old lime kiln.
\n
The house
has been added to approximately every 80 years. The serpentine addition wi
th its \nmain stair case was used as the first public library in Ches
ter County. In the mid-1800’s\, a \nkitchen was added with a beehive
oven. The oven doors still exist and this room eventually \nbecame a
dining room. Finally\, a modern kitchen was added in the 1940’s. \nOv
er the years\, other buildings were added including a large stone spring h
ouse\, a bank barn \nin 1740 and another farm house in 1812. The 1812
house and the main house were later used as \nstops on the Undergrou
nd Railroad.
\n
The farm was the site of the final troop engagement o
f the Battle of Brandywine\, the largest \nland battle of the America
n Revolution. It was during this battle that our flag was displayed and \nfired upon by the British for the first time. \nDuring the battl
e\, soldiers from the Continental Army ran up the farm’s stream to avoid a
\ncrushing pincer movement by the German Hessian soldiers. Instead\,
the Americans became \ntrapped between the Hessians on South New Str
eet and the English on the other side of the \nstream. So many Americ
ans were shot and bayoneted\, it was said the blood flowed over two
\nmiles to the Brandywine.
\n
The barn and large deep spring house we
re used to hold prisoners and the main house was \nused as a hospital
. During the gruesome surgery practices of that time\, limbs of hurt soldi
ers \nwere thrown out the window. Two mass burial sites on the proper
ty were used to dispose of the \ndead.
\n
There is so much unres
t on the property that Duke University performed para-psychological
\nresearch in the early 1980’s. Duke used EVP readings and multiple medium
s that were spaced 2 \nhours apart over a 24-hour time period. The me
diums did not have any contact with each other \nand their notes were
compared. During their investigation\, they learned of 9 separate identit
ies – \n8 in the house and one in the spring house. The barn was revi
ewed and found a little girl looking \nfor her doll near one of the c
overed wells\; a young boy solider atop of the hay mow overlooking \n
the battle\, as he had left his post and was afraid.
\n
The house has
the ghost of the original owner who hung himself over a now covered hand
dug \nwell in the basement. There is also a ghost of a man who froze
to death in what was a window \nwell of the earlier building. A soldi
er blocks the back stair case next to a coffin style door. Also \nfou
nd were a ghost in the master bedroom and a young girl crying in the next
room. One old \ngrumpy man was found to haunt the spring house.
\n
In 2009\, the farm was investigated by members of The Atlantic Paranorm
al Society. \nTAPS had similar findings and the episode aired on the
SyFy Channel.

ing and lecture slated for October 1 at Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Libra
ry.
\n
Kennett Square\, PA - Longwood Gardens
today announced the release of Du Pont Gardens of the Brandywine Valle
y\, a stunning new book featuring photographs by Larry Lederman and t
ext by Marta McDowell. The book explores the rich history and unique attri
butes of five former du Pont estates that have become cultural landmarks i

240 pages and 220 stunning photographs. The book opens with a preface by L
ederman that details his personal experience with the gardens\, an introdu
ctory essay by Charles A. Birnbaum\, President and CEO of the Cultural Lan
dscape Foundation\, who writes about the du Pont landscape legacy\, and a
chapter dedicated to the du Pont heritage of horticulture and stewardship.
McDowell\, a garden writer who combines a deep knowledge of garden design
and horticulture with a penchant for social history\, contributed the boo
k’s thoughtful text\, relating the stories of these gardens\, both their h
istory and their commitment to the future through strategies for sustainab
le management and growth.
\n
“The Brandywine Valley is home to some o
f the most spectacular gardens in the world and so much of that beauty is
owed to the thoughtful vision of the du Pont family who created and preser
ved these estates for all to enjoy\,” said Paul B. Redman\, President and
CEO of Longwood Gardens. “We are delighted to join these other great garde
ns in celebrating the release of this new book. The inspiring stories by M
arta McDowell coupled with the beautiful images by Larry Lederman make thi
s book an inspiring read for garden lovers\, landscape designers\, and hor

\n
Since arriving in America in 18
00\, the descendants of the du Pont family have made their mark as innovat
ive industrialists\, generous philanthropists\, pioneering preservationist
s\, collectors of American decorative arts\, and ecological stewards of na
tural environments. Longwood’s own legacy finds its beginning interwoven w
ith the du Pont family’s passion for nature and preservation. In 1906\, in
dustrialist Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954) purchased a small farm near Kenn
ett Square\, PA\, to save a collection of historic trees from being sold f
or lumber. Through that act of preservation\, Longwood Gardens was born. I
n Du Pont Gardens of the Brandywine Valley\, readers can view the
iconic landscapes of one of the world’s great horticultural displays and
its 1\,100 acres of dazzling gardens\, woodlands\, meadows\, fountains\, a
nd grand conservatory.
\n
Lederman’s vivid photographs exquisitely ca
pture the beauty and spirit of each place\, moving through the seasons and
the day from dawn to dusk. With an individual chapter dedicated to each g
arden\, readers will travel to the naturalized woodland at Winterthur\, th
e Beaux-Arts elegance of Nemours\, the striking ruins atop ruins of the Cr
owninshield Garden at Hagley\, and the picturesque native plant gardens an
d scenic trails of Mt. Cuba Center.
\n
About the Authors \nFollowing a successful career in corporate law\, Larry Lederma
n turned to photography as an avocation. From an initial focus on the form
s and foliage of trees\, Lederman now captures the beauty of gardens and l
andscapes through the seasons. He is the author of many books\, including
Magnificent Trees of the New York Botanical Garden\, The Rockefeller Famil
y Gardens: An American Legacy\, and Garden Portraits: Experiencing Natural
Beauty\, all published by Monacelli\, and the principal photographer for
the 125th anniversary edition of The New York Botanical Garden (Abrams).\nMarta McDowell is a garden historian and writer whose books include
Emily Dickinson’s Gardening Life\, Unearthing the Secret Garden\, and Beat
rix Potter’s Gardening Life. She teaches landscape history and horticultur
e at the New York Botanical Garden and is a featured speaker at garden clu
bs and horticultural organizations. \nCharles A. Birnbaum\, FASLA\, F
AAR\, founder\, president\, and CEO of The Cultural Landscape Foundation\,
is the editor of Experiencing Olmsted\, a survey of parks and public spac
es.
\n
About Longwood Gardens \nIn 1906\, indus
trialist Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954) purchased a small farm near Kennett
Square\, PA\, to save a collection of historic trees from being sold for
lumber. Today\, Longwood Gardens is one of the world’s great horticultural
displays\, encompassing 1\,100 acres of dazzling gardens\, woodlands\, me
adows\, fountains\, a 10\,010-pipe Aeolian organ\, and grand conservatory.
Longwood Gardens is the living legacy of Pierre S. du Pont\, bringing joy
and inspiration to everyone through the beauty of nature\, conservation\,
and learning. Open daily\, Longwood is one of more than 30 gardens in the
Philadelphia region known as America’s Garden Capital. For more informati

DESCRIPTION:
A Noisy Mind' is a solo show featuring new works by multidisc
iplinary artist ADHD (aka Colin Frangicetto aka Space Case). If there was
one word to sum up the theme of this exhibition it would be overwhelm and
that is surely very much by design. Through a variety of mediums and aest
hetics the artist seeks to make the audience step inside of his post inter
net world which is made up of the broken synapses of neurodivergence\, an
ever present ringing of the ear and the haunted memories of a life spent o
n the road.
\n
There is a quiet/loud dynamic at play here in t
he art much akin to the music he spent over half of his life creating. Cha
otic and violent feeling de-collage pieces are balanced by soft overpainte
d personal photographs . Large\, expressive figurative paintings on canvas
with gestural marks and scrawl are offset by smaller minimal abstract wor
ks on paper. The works feel as if they are all either whispering or shout
ing : This is what it is like for me to exist right now. This is how I got
here\, this is where I am and I have no idea where I am going. By the way
\, how are you?
\n
Among some of the more experimental works in
the show is 'Constant Companion' which is simply an iPod mounted to a pur
e white painting on wood that plays the tone of the artist's tinnitus on a
n infinite loop in headphones for anyone to listen. Distortion pedals are
likewise painted and mounted to panels like historical war relics along wi
th decades of stolen hotel key cards collaged in overlapping grids. Oversi
zed xeroxed photographs of Xanax & Adderall medication bottles are covered
with thousands of meaningful markings\; one for every day since they were
prescribed. Ironically for an artist currently known prominently for stil
l digital paintings\, the only digital works in the show are small looping
videos made of text and screen captures.
\n
While the descrip
tion of all of this can sound dark and perhaps anxiety inducing there is a
consistent sense of levity and tender self awareness that seeks to draw y

Returning to Kennett Square on Sunday\, October 22nd\, the a
ward-winning Clover Market brings \ntogether the best of handmade and
vintage artistry\, delicious local food\, and live music. Janet \nGa
rdner Long\, founder of Clover Market\, shares the origins of this fantast
ic event\, a little bit \nabout herself\, and how it has become a Ken
nett bi-annual mainstay. \nAn Accessible High Quality Popup Event \nClover Market sprouted its roots in the spring of 2010 as a passion “s
ide project” for Janet \nGardner Long\, who lived in Ardmore at the t
ime. Long envisioned as an outdoor popup event \nthat would seamlessl
y combine antiques\, handcrafted items\, and artistry. “While there were\nhigher end art shows around and flea markets of course\,” shared Lon
g\, “there wasn’t anything \nat the time that had a combination of al
l of these types of items at a high quality level—but still \nprice a
ccessible.” After a rigorous approval process\, the market received the gr
een light and \nmade its debut in Ardmore with 25 vendors. The respon
se was overwhelmingly positive\, and \nClover Market quickly expanded
to include locations in Chestnut Hill\, Bryn Mawr (which \nreplaced
Ardmore when the customer parking lot was developed)\, Collingswood\, and
eventually \nKennett Square. Today\, the market boasts 90-100 vendors
at each location\, alongside food \ntrucks\, live music\, and commun
ity partners\, making it a vibrant\, must-visit destination for all\, and<
br />\nhas won many Best of Philly and Best of Main Line awards\, most rec
ently winning the accolade \nof Best of Philly’s “Best Use of a Sunda
y Afternoon.” \nLong is the driving force behind this “scrappy one-wo
man business\,” and she brings an \nentrepreneurial spirit to the ven
ture. Her professional background encompasses a wide range of \nskill
s\, including advertising\, marketing\, design\, and project management. C
lover Market \nprovided her with an opportunity to blend these divers
e talents and feed her love for learning \nand connecting people—whic
h is all palpably experienced to attendees and vendors alike. \nThe K
ennett Square Connection \nThe journey of Clover Market to Kennett Sq
uare was orchestrated by Tara Dugan\, founder of \nworKS\, who saw th
e potential in bringing the market to our charming borough. Tara had
\npreviously been a vendor at Clover Market under a different name\, Scout
and Annie\, and her \nlocal roots gave her unique insights into Kenn
ett Square’s community. After getting the green \nlight from Genesis\
, the property’s owner at the time\, and Kennett Collaborative\, the marke
t \nmade its Kennett Square debut in late June 2017. These days\, wit
h worKS being only two \nblocks from the current Clover Market site\,
many patrons choose to visit both locations to \ncomplete the aftern
oon. \nNow\, Clover Market has become a fixture in the Kennett Square
community\, with two events \ntaking place each year. Long\, now liv
es nearby\, and is enjoying its open and welcoming charm \nto the ful
lest. “I love that open land preservation is valued here as are the arts\,
” says Long. “It’s \nreally a special place.” She and her husband\, n
ow empty nesters\, are taking full advantage of \ntheir new home\, ex
ploring local hiking trails\, trying out new restaurants\, and participati
ng in \ncommunity events that the town is so well-known for. Notably\
, Long mentioned how “many great \nevents there are locally and how m
uch everyone comes out to support them!” \nUpcoming Market Delights (
including two mini-trucks)! \nThe October 22nd Clover Market promises
to be an exciting event\, with over 100 vendors \nshowcasing their w
ares from 10 am until 4 pm at 600 S. Broad Street. As you embark on your\nholiday shopping and decorating journey\, make sure not to miss two
delightful mini-trucks from
\n
Vellum St. Soap Company and May With L
ove Knits\, together on-site for the first time. Check \nout the full
list of vendors here. Additionally\, Braeloch Brewing and Grace Winery wi
ll be serving \nbeer and wine respectively\, Calabrese Arts will prov
ide face painting for the little ones\, and the \ntalented local musi
cians Paul Wilkinson &\; Luke Ferracone will entertain the crowd from 1
2-3 \npm. Our tip: get there early for the opening bell\, a lovely Ma
rket tradition\, and to snatch up those \nunique finds first! \n
In conclusion\, the Clover Market is not just a market\; it’s a celebratio
n of artisanal \ncraftsmanship\, community\, and the creative spirit.
As the market continues to thrive\, it remains a \ntestament to the
power of entrepreneurial spirit\, community support\, and the enduring cha
rm of \nKennett Square.
This Market will feature 100+ carefully curated vendors with
a wide variety of handmade and vintage goods along with food trucks\, liv
e music\, beer and wine\, free kids' crafts\, and many additional shopping
and dining options in town.
\n
The Market vendors will be set up in
the entire parking lot at 600 S. Broad Street\, right across from Kennett
High School. The entire lot will be closed for the Market. The Market is j
ust a very short walk drive from the downtown shopping and restaurant dist
rict and close to additional dining options and activities on Birch Street
