Dr. Karen Walton, Provost of DeSales University, serves as the host. For 40 years PBS 39 has been producing the popular high school academic competition where contestants try to answer questions more quickly than members of the opposite team. Devon Prep competed against William Allen High School in Allentown and won by a large margin. They will return to the studio in late January to tape the second round of the competition. At the end of the season the winning team receives $4000 for its scholarship fund and the runner-up receives $2000. Devon Prep’s first appearance on Scholastic Scrimmage will air in early February. According to Mecouch the team members were a little nervous at first but seemed to relax as the show got underway. “They were very excited to be on the show and did a great job,” he said. “We all look forward to going back in January.” Devon Prep is a small, private, Catholic, college prepara-

The screening will be followed by a producer’s talk and audience question and answer period. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. Former Nittany Lions players share their personal stories in the film, highlighting the inspiration of their mentor and coach. These men, who have gone on to become professional athletes, doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers and more, credit Paterno and his “Grand Experiment” football program for their professional and personal success. Originally envisioned as a surprise 85th birthday gift for Paterno, the film was shot last year in 12 days in five cities — State College, Pittsburgh, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Seventy athletes from six decades were interviewed. Paterno died three days after filming was complete, unaware of the film's existence. The Philadelphia-area event is presented by the Montgomery County Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association, Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, The Great Valley Society and The Lettermen who are the movie’s producers. The groups are focused on promoting the values espoused by Coach Paterno, educating the public about Paterno’s persistent integrity, and securing a fair legacy for the coach, especially in the wake of the recent scandal with connections to Penn State.

A Guide to the Transition from High School to College t AIM Academy, parents are essential partners in the education of all of the school’s students. From first grade through senior year, AIM faculty and staff collaborate with families on educating the whole child. AIM Upper School parents share the goal to find that perfect fit college or university experience that will prepare students to further explore and master their passion and prepare for a fulfilling career. The process of college selection, academic preparation for college, college entrance procedures and exams and the tools needed for college completion can seem overwhelming for students who learn differently. AIM works with parents to prepare and discuss expectations in a way that there can be no misinterpretation of the role of parents that is required as they guide the path for their children. On Thursday January 30, at 6:30 p.m., AIM Academy will welcome Elizabeth Hamblet, a Learning Disabilities Specialist from Columbia University, to discuss successful high school to college transitions. AIM parents and the public are invited to attend this no-excuses, noholds barred conversation at AIM Academy, 1200 River Road in Conshohocken. There is no charge for this important event but pre-registration is required. Visit www.aimpa.org to register, and for information and directions.

Print Center Exhibit “Demetrius Oliver: Canicular”
Serving Parishes of Lower Merion
January 10 – March 22, 2014 • Thursday, January 9: Gallery Talk & Opening Reception or nearly 100 years, The Print Center has supported printmaking and photography as vital contemporary arts and encouraged the appreciation of the printed image in all its forms. In January, ideas of form, function and appreciation will be challenged when The Print Center unveils Canicular, a major new exhibition by New York artist Demetrius Oliver. Curated by John Caperton, The Print Center’s Jensen Bryan Curator, the exhibition is a direct response to Caperton’s request for Oliver to think as expansively as possible about what constitutes a print, and reflects the artist’s longtime desire to create an installation requiring a radical shift in the typical functions of an organization and its gallery spaces. “This poetic and whimsical exhibition raises provocative questions about audience expectations of the gallery experience,” notes Paula Marincola, Executive Director of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. “We are pleased that we could support this new commission; it is yet more evidence of the richness and The Print Center unveils “Canicular,” a major new exhibition vibrancy of Philadelphia’s cultural offerings.” by New York artist Demetrius Oliver January 10 - March Canicular includes a video installation that will consist of a projected, live-feed from a high-power telescope focused on 22, 2014, with an opening and gallery talk on January 9.

Tickets are available from $25 to $35 at www.kimmelcenter.org, 215-893-1999, or at the Kimmel Center Box Office located on Broad and Spruce streets, Philadelphia, PA (open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., later on performance evenings). Kurt Rosenwinkel studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston and quickly found himself performing under bands led by Gary Burton and Paul Motian. Combining his love for standard jazz tunes with his determination to create his own path, he debuted onto the music scene with his early album East Coast Love Affair in 1996. Ever since, Rosenwinkel has gained critical acclaim as one of his generation’s most “prolific composers.” He credits his Philadelphia upbringing for his strong jazz influence and diverse knowledge of music. Kurt Rosenwinkel recently performed with Eric Clapton in Berlin, Germany in the Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival, prominently featured as the cover story of Downbeat magazine. His summer circuit of jazz performances also included the Rochester Jazz Festival, a series of Canadian festivals with a culminating performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival, as well as the Montreux Jazz Festival and North Sea Jazz Festival.

Award-winning textile artist Elsa Wachs (www.elsawachs.com) masterfully uses fabrics, threads and embellishments to to create designs that uplift the soul and enrich the mind. Shown is “Infertility’s Hard Edge.” Wachs will deliver a presentation titled “Beyond Word, Beyond Belief” at the opening of her exhibit on Sunday, January 12, at 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served at 1:30 p.m. She will give a second presentation on Sunday, January 19, at 2 p.m. At this talk, titled “Sacred Space,” Wachs will explore the roots of ecclesiastic and liturgical textiles. Both events are open to the public, beginning at 1:30 p.m. To reserve a spot, contact Martins Run at 610-353-7660, ext. 254. A longtime resident of Wallingford and now residing in Wynnewood, Elsa Wachs began working with fibers and threads in 1970. At that time, she developed her art discipline of creating heirloom pieces such as family wedding canopies and prayer shawls personalized with memorabilia and photographs, and liturgical designs. Since then, her talent has extended into American Judaic ritual textiles and a range of other designs in diverse forms. The chapel at Martins Run is home to several of Wachs’ artworks, including a table covering and ark curtain. The Spotlight Artist Series, which began in August, 2012, was created to bring in local artists from the surrounding community to the Martins Run community and to expose the residents, many of whom are artists themselves, to the talented works of these individuals through a rotating art display. For info on the art exhibits at Martins Run, contact Amy Blum, Program Coordinator at Martins Run, at 610-353-7660 ext. 254 or ablum@martins-run.org.
