On Saturday, November 21, Friends’ Central School host-ed a diversity conference for students and teachers at

local public, parochial, and independent schools in the area,with the concept, planning, and execution all led by SimoneGibson, a junior at Friends’ Central.Entitled “Different Voices, Same Vision: Identity and the

Impact on Community,” the purpose of the conference, illus -trated in a Mission Statement created by Gibson, was “tobring independent and non-independent schools togetherin a safe setting where students learn from and have conver -sations with each other about diversity issues.” Throughparticipation in workshops, exercises, and discussions thatspanned many different forms of diversity, from “Black LivesMatter vs. All Lives Matter” to double standards of men andwomen and U.S. Immigration, Simone said that the aim of theconference was “to bring awareness to issues students face

inside and outside of the classroom on a daily basis. By giv-ing these issues immediate attention, we can help ensure ahealthier future for students and their communities.”Dwight Dunston, alumnus and Assistant Director of Admis -

sion at Friends’ Central, who worked with Gibson on theconcept and organization of the conference, shares the ori-gin of Gibson’s idea for the conference. “After attending theSDLC last year, Simone came back very excited about the ideaof bringing that type of conference to Friends’ Central. Shestarted conversations with us on how we can make it hap-pen, gathered a group of adults and said ‘this is what I wantto do.’ Then, after organizing her team of student, faculty, andalumni/ae organizers and presenters, she made it happen,almost a year later.”Beginning with a keynote address by Philadelphia District

Attorney Seth Williams, and over 50 students and more thantwo dozen faculty and staff members in attendance, Gibson’svision and hard work came to fruition in exciting fashion,helping a number of public and private schools, includingBaldwin, Malvern Prep, Bonner-Prendie, St. Joe’s Prep, Spring -side-Chestnut Hill, West Philadelphia High, and The U School,start healthy conversations on issues of diversity. The con-ference also provided tools and skills for students to con-tinue these conversations and exercises at their respectiveschools in order to educate their peers and advocate forchange in their own communities.Gibson is excited about the buzz generated by the con-

ference but has high hopes for the future. “I feel as though the

conference was a success because so many students cameup to me to thank me for holding the conference,” Gibsonshares. “During our feedback session, students at both pri-vate and public schools said that they appreciated hearingdifferent perspectives and felt connected to their peers. Nextyear, I hope even more schools can participate, but even thoughit seems small, I felt like I made a change.”Upper School Principal Art Hall also believes that Gibson

made a change, and inspired her peers and teachers to dothe same. “Simone’s initiative, motivation, desire to bring stu -dents together, and passion for creating a more just worldare inspiring.”Gibson said it best in one of the goals she created for the

conference, “Bringing schools together for an experience likethis can be extremely powerful, so let’s start this journey to -gether and create a legacy.”

The holiday season is the perfect time to think about becoming a volunteer host familyto a New York City child. Each summer, close to 4,000 children visit suburban, rural and

small town communities across the Northeast and Ontario, Canada through The Fresh AirFund’s Friendly Towns Program. By volunteering as a host family for summer 2016, the spiritof the holidays can continue in your home throughout the year.Fresh Air children are boys and girls who live in New York City. Children who are reinvit-

ed by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoyextended trips. Through the eyes of Fresh Air children, families often rediscover the beau-ty of their own communities.The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free, enriching

summer experiences and academic programs to more than 1.8 million New York City chil-dren from low-income communities since 1877. For more information on hosting a FreshAir child next summer, contact Deborah Asirifi at 212-897-8969 or visit The Fresh Air Fundat www.freshair.org.

• My Independence Blue Cross Insurance Story,• The Moment I Knew I Needed Health Insurance, and• A Parent’s Wisdom on the Importance of Health Insur -

ance.The contest began on February 7 with a call for entries,

second annual Child Abuse Prevention Conference, titled“What Can I Do?” Putting Child Abuse Prevention into thePractice. The conference is open to professionals who workwith children and will be held in the DiGeorge Auditoriumat St. Christopher’s, located at 3601 A Street in Philadelphia.

St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children to Host Child AbusePrevention Conference and Celebrate 10 Years

Penn Vet’s Ryan Hospital is hosting the 7th annual National Service Dog Eye Exam eventsponsored by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) and Merial.

On May 6, 8, 12-16 and 21, Penn Vet’s Dr. Gustavo Aguirre, professor of ophthalmology;Dr. William Crumley, staff ophthalmologist; and Dr. Stephen Gross, staff ophthalmologist,will join 190 ACVO board-certified ophthalmologists conducting eye examinations across thecountry.

The ACVO/Merial National Service Dog Eye Exam is a philanthropic effort generously pro -vided to the public by the board-certified Diplomates of the American College of VeterinaryOphthalmologists, who donate their time and services to provide free ocular exams to quali -fied service animals.

As a way to serve dogs who dedicate their lives to serving us, these exams are free to reg-istered service dogs across the United States and Canada. Through these efforts, service doghealth can be improved and potential disease averted.

How to Make an AppointmentTo qualify, animals must be “active working animals” that were certified by a formal train-

ing program or organization or currently enrolled in a formal training program. The certi-fying organization can be national, regional, or local in nature.

1. Owners/agents for the animal(s) must FIRST register the animal via an online registra-tion form at www.ACVOeyeexam.org. Registration ends April 30.

2. Once registered online, the owners/agents will receive a registration number and willbe allowed access to a list of participating ophthalmologists in their area.

3. Owners/agents may then contact Ryan Hospital’s appointment desk (215-746-8387) toschedule an appointment

What Veterinary Ophthalmologists Look for During the ExamDuring the complete ocular exam, veterinary specialists look for problems including red-

ness, squinting, cloudy corneas, retinal disease, early cataracts, and other serious abnor-malities. Early detection and treatment are vital to these working animals.

The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists® is an approved veterinary special -ty organization of the American Board of Veterinary Specialties, and is recognized by theAmerican Veterinary Medical Association. Its mission is “to advance the quality of veterinarymedicine through certification of veterinarians who demonstrate excellence as special istsin veterinary ophthalmology.” To become board certified, a candidate must complete a Doctorof Veterinary Medicine degree, a one-year internship, a three-year approved residency, andpass a series of credentials and examinations.

Blues Music Awards nominee Alexis P.

Suter will b

e playing a free concert o

n Fri -

day, February 7 at 8 p.m. in Julia Ball Audi -

torium on Gwynedd Mercy University’s

campus. The well-known ensemble has per -

formed at Blues concerts and festiv

als all

over the country,

including the Cincinnati

Blues Festival, T

ampa Bay Blues Festival

and the Mont Tremblant Music Festiv

al.

Suter and her band began growing in popu -

larity while performing regularly at Levon

Helm’s Midnight Ramble Sessio

ns in Wood -

stock, NY. They opened the show at The

Midnight Ramble in Woodstock, NY over 90

times and have since played to sold-out

audiences around the country.

Alexis was nominated for Best S

Female Artist at th

e 33rd Annual Blues Music

Awards and her song, “A

as

NPR’s “Song of th

e Day” in January 2012.

“When I first h

eard her voice, I was m

em-

orized and virtu

ally put in a tra

nce. Her music tra

nscends styles—

it includes blues, s

oul,

folk, gospel, and jazz. Gwynedd Mercy Universit

y is truly fortunate to have a performer as

fine as Alexis Suter here on our campus,”

Carol Evans, director of Gwynedd Mercy Uni ver -

sity’s s

inging group the Voices of Gwynedd, said.

What did it mean to our

grandparents? What will it

mean to our grandchildren?

WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR OUR

ancestors to say goodbye to the shtetl, to set

out to discover new lives for themselves, along

with all of the liberties the free world had to

offer? At the dawn of the enlightenment,

how did our parents adapt their Judaism

to the developments of a modern age?

And what can we learn from their

struggles, in order to connect

more deeply with our own

Jewish identities?

The Friends Free Library at Germantown

Friends School celebrated National Library

Week by asking library visitors (students, em -

ployees, parents and community members) to

share how libraries have changed their lives.

“It has been so much fun to hear all of the

different stories,” says library assistant Kath -

ryn Murphy. People wrote on a dry-erase sign

and shared a “selfie” photo to the nationwide

hashtag campaign #NLW14 #LivesChange.

The stories included a high-school student

recalling memorizing her library card number

before she knew her phone number, a pre school -

er writing that reading books about dinosaurs

makes him feel like he is “living with the dino -

saurs” and a community patron sharing his dream

of one day becoming a librarian. “Dreams are

discovered in libraries and libraries provide a

path for those dreams to come true,” says Murphy.

Kackie St. Clair, head of the Friends Free Library,

says, “Libraries are a place to connect your

knowledge and your curiosity to the worlds be -

yond the library walls; and a much-needed place

for some peace

and quiet.”

At the FFL, the

staff assists com -

munity mem-

bers with com-

puter skills, writ -

ing resumes and

filling out job

applications.

The also get to

know and help every student. “These connections may be small but they are significant in

building a sense of community and belonging,” says Murphy. “Libraries provide endless

resources and support—for FREE! That is a beautiful thing.”

One hundred percent of the children, youth and familiesthat Northern Children’s Services serves are low-income.

Most of them do not receive any gifts during the holidayseason because of the burden it puts on the family’s finan-cial status.Last year, Northern Children’s Services granted the wish-

es of almost 700 children. This year, they aim to grant thewishes of every one of the 1,000 children they serve duringthis time of the year. Northern is reaching out to the sur-rounding community, organizations, companies, clubs andchurches to contribute to their Holiday Toy Drive. With acombined effort and dedication to hitting this ambitious goal,Northern Children’s Services is confident that every childthey serve will receive a gift this holiday season.“We give to people and causes we believe in so that a dif-

ference for the better can be made. We hope to alleviate thepain and suffering of others – from things like poverty, home -lessness, mental illness, and children and youth living in fos-ter care – ultimately to improve the outcomes for these chil-dren, youth and families, but also to simply provide somejoy and smiles during the holiday season,” President and CEO,Renata Cobbs-Fletcher in her latest monthly blog.

When Whitney Mallory moved into the permanent apart-ments at Northern Children’s Services the day before Thanks -giving last year, she was grateful that she and her two childrenfinally had a place of their own to celebrate the holidays. “What I’m looking forward to most around the holidays is

my children being able to have a roof over their head. Be -ing able to spend time with my family without having to bein the shelter will be so special,” Whitney said in an inter-view last year.Like Whitney, Northern Children’s Services serves many

vulnerable children, youth and families who are in need ofhope during this holiday season. A gift helps fulfill just that.Help Northern Children’s Services ensure every child, youthand their family has a little bit of hope this holiday seasonby taking on a few wishes with your church, organization,club and/or company. Every little bit truly does go a longway! Out of 1,000 children, Northern Children’s Services onlyhas 200 more wishes to go. There’s still time for a holidaymiracle.For information about Northern Children’s Services Holi -

“SINGIN ’ IN THE SEASON”Continued from front page

Page 11: City Suburban News 12_9_15 issue

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of heart arrhythmia and, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Con -trol and Prevention, affects an estimated 2.7 to 6.1 million people living in the U.S. Temple University Hospital is now

offering a new treatment option to patients with atrial fibrillation who are also at high risk for stroke. Atrial fibrillation occurs when an irregular electrical pattern in the heart causes the upper chambers (called the atria) to

fibrillate, or quiver, very fast and irregularly. Atrial fibrillation causes poor blood flow in the top half of the heart and canlead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related problems.The most common treatment for stroke risk reduction in patients with AF is a blood-thinning medication (also known as

“anticoagulants”). However, this may not be the best method for all patients with AF.“There are patients with atrial fibrillation who are at high risk for stroke that may not be able to safely take long-term

anticoagulant medication due to a significant risk for bleeding complications,” explains Joshua Cooper, MD, FACC, FHRS,Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at Temple University Hospital, and Professor of Medicine at the Lewis Katz Schoolof Medicine at Temple University. “Now there is a new device available to treat these types of patients.”Temple recently began offering the WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device, which is designed to lower

the stroke risk for AF patients and replace the need for anticoagulant therapy in those patients who are not able to take along-term blood thinner. The device is a catheter-delivered heart implant which perma-nently closes off the left atrial appendage, or LAA. The LAA is a small, thin sac located in the left atrium (top left chamber of the heart). When

an AF patient’s heart doesn’t properly pump out blood from the atria, blood collects andcan form clots in the LAA that could break free and enter the blood stream, possibly causinga stroke. The WATCHMAN Device is designed to prevent that from happening. The WATCHMAN Device is about the size of a quarter and is implanted under general

anesthesia using a catheter inserted through a vein in the leg. Once the device is implant-ed it is not visible outside the body. Patients typically stay in the hospital for one nightafter the procedure.“This new piece of technology will allow us to treat a challenging group of patients at

Temple with atrial fibrillation who are at risk for stroke and have a high bleeding risk,” saysDr. Cooper. “We just performed our first successful procedure and I anticipate we will sim-ilarly treat a growing number of patients for whom this treatment is the best option to reducethe long-term risks of stroke and bleeding. The Temple Heart and Vascular Institute is a leaderin providing the very latest advances in cardiovascular care and we are happy to be able tooffer this new option to our patients.” Note: Neither Dr. Cooper nor any members of his immediate family has financial interest

in the Boston Scientific Corporation, manufacturer of the WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial AppendageClosure Device.

The Haverford School community contributed nearly 9,000cans to the annual Haverford School-Episcopal Academy-

Agnes Irwin Can Drive, which kicked off with an assembly onNov. 9 and ran through Nov. 23. The donations go to the LifeCenter of Eastern Delaware County, St. Barnabas Mission, St.Mary’s Episcopal Church and Food Cupboard, and low-in comesenior citizens in Philadelphia through the Old Pine Com mu -nity Church’s Saturday for Seniors program.

The can drive with Episcopal Academy has been runningfor 24 years and with Agnes Irwin for the past 9. During thattime, the three-school effort has collected more than 1 mil-lion cans to fight hunger locally.The turkey drive, led by sophomore John-Michael Nelligan

and the swimming and diving team, netted more than 100frozen turkeys for Project HOME and neighbors in need.

help me improve my playing. I don’t like the practicing part that much (who does?), but Iknow that if I practice in a good way, the work will pay off and I will be happy with my per-formance. To me, a competition is more like a performance for different sets of audienceswho are professional musicians. My teacher often says that competitions are unpredictable.Winning doesn’t mean that you played the best, but losing doesn’t mean you played theworst, either. I couldn’t possibly agree more. At a competition I try not to think about theresults, but to enjoy my performance.”At Shipley, where Emma just started 7th grade, she enjoys History most of all. When ask -

ed what she thinks she will do when she will grow up, she says she would see herself teach-ing History in College. Emma is also a very down to earth, vivacious girl who loves to read,swim, and play tennis.To the question of what are the hardest things for her when she performs on the stage

or in front of a jury Emma replied: “The hardest thing for me during a performance is rightbefore I go onstage because I feel the ‘butterflies’ in my stomach then, but after I start play-ing, the nerves go away.”When asked from what age she was self-motivated, Lo said: “I think I started being self-

motivated after I started winning some competitions because my outlook on piano becamemore positive and I was like: ‘Hey, maybe piano is a little fun after all.’”For information about the concert series and to donate to Nelly Berman’s legacy schol-

a severe case of

viral encephali-

Music and quite

an accomplished

violinist for his

young age.

Chanlan had a

deep passion for

music that was transparent and vibrant. He was involved

in not only solo performances, but chamber groups and

intensive summer camps. His hard work paid off when he

was the youngest soloist chosen to perform on the stage

at the Kimmel Center as a platinum winner of the NBS Golden

Key Competition. In addition to his heart for playing, he was

also dedicated to the scholarship program that supplement-

ed his lesson fees. To show his appreciation, he took initia-

American Popular Sheet Music, 1800-1970s: Secrets, Fears,Pleasures and Hopes about Growing Old

What American popular sheet music has to say about old age in America from 1800 to the 1970s is the topic ofElias Cohen’s Hassel Adult Education lecture. Sheet music about old folks ranges from sloppy sentimentalismabout 50 years of marriage to fears about wrinkles, to downright nasty racism aimed at African Americanelderly. Elias Cohen, Pennsylvania’s first Commissioner on Aging (1956), has been active in public serviceunder four PA governors, as a college professor on law and aging, and as a writer. His talk is based on thealmost 700 pieces of sheet music on old age he has collected over the past 25 or so years. Light refreshmentswill be served at 9:30 a.m. followed by the Hassel Adult Education program at 10 a.m. This Sunday, December20 program is open to all. Bring a friend!
