PHILADLEPHIA'S 1ST SALON SUITE CONCEPT OPENS IN Suburban Square….. Health and Beauty professionals now have the opportunity to BE THEIR OWN BOSS. Salon Suite concepts, such as MY SALON Suite, are coworking spaces specifically built for beauty and health professionals who want to own and operate their own businesses without opening an entire salon. Salon suites are home to independentbeauty specialists ranging from hair stylists, massage therapists, body contouring, body waxing, and estheticians, all under one roof. Local couple Jenn and Andrew Navarro have opened the first two salon suite locations at the Lawrence Park Shopping Center in Broomall and at Suburban Square in Ardmore. They are recruiting and leasing suites to a variety of established beauty and health professionals. MY SALON Suite is designed to support entrepreneurship by providing professional and business training opportunities, local and national marketing support, client scheduling software, plus suite maintenance and utilities are included. “There is a demand for change within
the salon industry in Philadelphia,” added Andrew. “It's a wonderful feeling knowing that we are creating opportunities for individuals to start their own businesses in a space of their own but with the support of a community filled with like-minded individuals. We're excited to bring the Suite Life to Philadelphia.” INCOME This suite concept attracts everyone from seasoned salon owners to budding entrepreneurs. They're removing the headache from running a salon and managing employees to focusing entirely on their clients and own personal growth. Many value the ability to keep 100 percent of the money they earn versus sharing a percentage of it with a traditional salon owner. INDEPENDENCE Perhaps the most attractive aspect of private salon suite concept is the freedom. Unlike conventional salons, this alternative, independent lifestyle is letting beauty professionals call the shots, from pricing to product and
everything in between. When working in a private space, stylists are customizing the suite according to their business expertise, clients' needs and personal flair. They have the flexibility to schedule working days and hours that are most convenient for their lifestyle and their clients. Melissa at the Lawrence Park location couldn't agree more, she says, “Being a salon suite owner has given me more freedom to spend time with my family, newborn baby, and friends. It's an empowering feeling to not have to ask permission to take a day off to do what is important for my family….I am the boss! You can do anything you put your mind to and I am so proud of myself for taking that leap of faith.” More information for beauty and health professionals interested in leasing a suite at the new MY SALON Suite in Lawrence Park or Suburban Square is available online at www.mysalonsuite.com/lawrencepark.html or www.mysalonsuite.com/suburbansquare.html or by calling 484-380-5395

Today’s homes burn faster than ever. You may have as little as two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. When the smoke alarm sounds in a real fire, it’s too late to start making a plan. Contact your local fire department for more information and events.
Stormwater Management Stormwater Runoff and Record Rainfall
Increasing rainfall has had a major impact on the region’s stormwater runoff, especially in older neighborhoods with less than ideal stormwater management systems. With no end in sight to the frequency of these intense rainstorms, there's more to consider. When forecasters call for rain, more and more they warn of severe storms and flash flooding. These frequent torrential rain events are breaking daily rainfall records. The Philadelphia region saw its greatest two-day rainfall total for any June on record with 4.63 inches on June 19 and 20. In just a few hours' time, storms are inundating areas with 3 to 4
inches of rain. What's more, the ground is so saturated that infiltration is hardly possible even with an ideal stormwater management system in place. So as each new storm brings reports of drainage issues that have never been seen before, we need to ask: Are these really new “problems” or are they the inevitable result of the record rain events that continue to overwhelm the region? There's something else to keep in mind. With extreme rainfall amounts, you have to expect extreme runoff. While water flowing through your yard on its way to a stormwater facility is disconcerting, it's not a drainage problem. It's a system at work.
Township neighborhoods older than 10 or 15 years don't have nearly the same amount of stormwater design and infrastructure as newer developments. The pipes are aging and inefficient. Many designs used grading and swales, which over time become filled in and flatten out and are no longer able to assist in getting water to natural water courses. Unfortunately, there's no easy or inexpensive fix. Informative resources for homeowners regarding stormwater best management practices, such as “A Homeowners Guide to Stormwater Management” can be found online at the Penn State Extension, extension.psu.eduextension.psu.edu.

School Bus Safety
PENNSYLVANIA’S SCHOOL BUS STOPPING LAW
Back To School Safety Reminders
Keeping Children Safe
When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school. Slow down and be alert. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. Watch for children playing and congregating near bus stops. Learn the flashing signal light system that school bus drivers use to alert motorists of pending actions: Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles. Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again.
When you meet or overtake a stopped school bus with red signal lights flashing and stop arm extended, you MUST STOP. When you approach an intersection where a school bus is stopped with red signal lights flashing and stop arm extended, you MUST STOP. You MUST STOP at least ten (10) feet away from the school bus. You MUST WAIT until the red lights have stopped flashing and the stop arm has been withdrawn before moving. DO NOT MOVE until all the children have reached a place of safety.
KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES 1.5 million children are transported on Pennsylvania roads each day. These children are transported more than 346 million miles to school each year. Every year, children are needlessly injured or killed by drivers passing stopped school buses.
PENNSYLVANIA’S SCHOOL BUS STOPPING LAW
You MUST STOP on roadways with painted lines.
You MUST STOP at an intersection, whether it is or is not marked with a stop sign. All traffic MUST stop.
You MUST STOP on roadways with ridged/grooved dividers.

Back to School!
an excerpt from Andrew Mullen’s book, Middle Schooled. Hello Parents! I don't know about you, but my children have been so eager for the start of school! You can only sleep in, spend time with friends and family and enjoy life to the fullest for so long. It gets old. The kids keep saying things like, “School is awesome! I am so excited to open the gift of education each and every day,” “The birds sound so pretty at 5:00 in the morning” and “I love homework more than my Rainbow Flip Flops and Uggs.” Seeing the bus lights coming down the road on a foggy morning produces a giddy euphoria in the children akin to past reported sightings of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer… The start of school can be crazy and stressful for families. Below are a few tips and reminders that might help to make the transition back to school a little easier: Reestablish the daily routine: 10

Bed time, dinner time, wake up time. These all need to be slowly brought back from the summer time “do what you want when you want” routine. The homework is going to start pouring in. Make sure they have a quiet place to do their work and that they are managing their time properly. Encourage them to put their phone in a different room while they are working. Removing technology from your child one hour before you actually want them to be asleep can be extremely helpful.
Be optimistic about the start of school. We all know it's tough but stay positive in a realistic way. Remind them about the things they enjoy about school. Friends, nice teachers, tater tots, the smell of the hallways on humid days. (After 16 years I finally figured it out. The smell when the kids come in from recess period is room temperature Italian deli meats mixed with red on-ion, Axe Body Spray and unkempt recycling bins.) Plan healthy dinners ahead of time. If you can make some
Make sure they have whatever school supplies are needed. My family went to Staples Sunday night before school started. I was able to wrestle the last pack of mechanical pencils from an elderly woman, so it all ended well. In the future, we may choose to make these purchases in advance… Talk to your kids. Even though they may not answer in complete sentences or even make eye contact, don't give up! The kids need to know you are interested in their school day.

dinners over the weekend and freeze them, even better. I am happy to share some of my recipes upon request. If your middle schooler is annoying you, consider buying them #3 pencils (you may need to mail order these from Canada) and folders with puppies on them. Middle school is like space travel in many ways. If your child's heat tiles fall off upon reentry to school, please ask for help! Good Luck!

Renewable Energy, Make The Switch Switch to renewable electricity today and reduce your carbon footprint. Jennifer Cox, for the Tredyffrin EAC Switching to a renewable electricity supplier is one of the biggest individual impacts you can make! Many people do not realize how easy (and affordable) switching to renewable electricity can be. Here's what you'll need to know: You will still receive only one bill from PECO. You will still call PECO for outages and services. PA Public Utilities Commission has vetted all suppliers. Two ways to switch: PECO's Standard Offer, or Customize Your Plan.
FIRST OPTION:
PECO's Standard Offer: Quick, simple, cheap Try PECO's Standard Offer Program. It offers a fixed-rate price at 7% below PECO's current Price to Compare, for a term of one year with no cancellation or termination fees. Not all plans offered feature renewable energy, but there will always be one 100% renewable provider offered. Look for the renewable option. Participating providers vary. Save money, save the environment. Simply take the following steps: Have your PECO bill or account number handy. Call PECO Smart Energy (1-888-899-8612). Ask to switch to a participating renewable energy provider. They will walk you through the steps to sign up. You will be notified 45-60 days before your contract expires, but mark your calendar for the end of the 1-year term to be sure to sign up again or choose another option.
SECOND OPTION:
Customize Your Plan If you seek unique features in a renewable energy plan (for example, you may want to choose a company that is local, independently owned, or a co-op), you can do so by using www.PAPowerSwitch.com to choose a plan. PA Power Switch is a unique tool that will help you find a list of electricity 12
Radnor News
suppliers. Choose “Residential”, be sure to filter for “Renewable”, and make sure it's 100%. You may also want to select “fixed rate”, “no cancellation fee” and “no monthly charge”. Once you narrow down your choices, if you wish to, you can learn about the features of each supplier by visiting their websites. Once you sign up, it's helpful to add the renewal date to your calendar to ensure you continue to get a competitive rate. Keeping track of this is not unlike keeping an eye on your cable bill. It only takes 10 minutes to sign up. All you need is your PECO account number.
Solarize: Helping homeowners go solar
Interested in rooftop solar but not sure how to start? Worried about the capital outlay? Solarize might be able to help. Solarize is a grassroots-based collective program for implementing photovoltaic (PV) solar projects. First begun in Portland, Oregon, Solarize has expanded with support from the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar America Communities program. It can be run by residents in a township, residents in a neighborhood, or by other groups, for example, Solarize Philly is run by the Philadelphia Energy Authority (PEA). Learn more at www.philaenergy.org/programsinitiatives/solarize-philly. In our area Solarize has already been successful in Media and Havertown. Visit the Solarize page on the Transition Town Media website at www.transitiontownmedia.org/volunteer /working-groups/solarize. A team from the Ready for 100 campaign has expanded this success to a larger region which included all of Southeast PA. (Ready for 100 is a drive to move municipalities to 100% renewable electricity by 2035, and 100% renewable energy by 2050.) The team, Solarize Southeastern PA, can do the initial assessments to know whether your home is a good fit for solar (i.e., does your roof get enough sun). If so, they calculate how much electricity your roof can generate and they help you estimate how much your system would cost. Once you decide to proceed, the real work begins. Solarize bundles together all of the potential solar customers from your community and then links those customers with a solar installer who works out the details of the installation and the exact costs. The larger number
of customers allows lower costs, as does the 30% Investment Tax Credit on your 2019 federal taxes (this credit decreases in 2020 and 2021 and then expires unless Congress decides otherwise). Even if your home is not a good candidate for solar at present, Solarize can also suggest other solutions, both current and future, opportunities like community solar, where communities buy dedicated solar power generated elsewhere. The team also recommends ways to transition away from fossil fuels. At all stages of the process for all inquirers, Solarize can answer questions and suggest ways to reduce electricity usage and your electricity bill. (PECO's energy audit program can also help.For $25, an energy expert will visit your house to identify changes you can make to save energy. The savings will likely be much higher than the $25 you spend on the energy audit.) For more information, go to www.solarizesoutheastpa.wordpress.com.

Health & Wellness Corner Let’s talk gut issues. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, said, “All disease begins in the gut.” What happens inside your gut has everything to do with your overall health. Did you know that 70 to 80% of your immune system lives in your gut? Because our intestines are inside our bodies, many people don’t realize they form a protective barrier between the bloodstream and the outside world. So, what’s inside your gut is actually “outside” your body! Have you heard of the gut microbiome? This is the name given to the tens of trillions of microorganisms that live in our gut. Every day new research is showing us the necessity of a healthy gut microbiome and how that’s connected to anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s, and autoimmune disease. Your gut microbiome can even dictate what food cravings you have, to name just a few recent studies! The microbiome includes at least 1000 different species of known bacteria with over 3 million genes. A healthy gut microbiome controls gut health by communicating with cells in the intestines, digesting certain foods, and preventing disease-causing bacteria from sticking to intestinal walls. Have you heard of the term “leaky gut?” Have you been wondering what it means to have a leaky gut? Do you know what symptoms are experienced with leaky gut, and how it relates to developing disease? If you experience bloating, food insensitivities, fatigue, digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea, “irritable bowel syndrome,” joint pain, depression/anxiety, and skin problems, and dozens more – you may have leaky gut. As more Americans are affected by poor dietary choices, toxic overload, chronic stress, and bacterial imbalance in the gut, it seems that the prevalence of leaky gut has reached pretty impressive proportions. There’s been some debate in mainstream medicine about whether this term even exists, but “intestinal permeability” (another name for leaky gut), has been discussed in medical literature for over a hundred years! Today, let’s have a better understanding about how important it is to maintain gut integrity because this is one of the major first lines of defense for your body. You will also learn what conditions may be associated with a leaky gut, and most importantly, what you can do to restore your gut health. As a functional & integrative physician, I champion the inborn potential in every person. Our bodies are beautifully and intricately designed to support our health and well-being. Using a systems oriented
approach, we aim to give the body the right environment to heal itself, thereby restoring energy and vitality. We absolutely have the power to improve our health, folks. So, what is this leaky gut anyway? The human digestive system is made up of many parts: our mind, mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and large intestine (colon). In the small intestine, 90% of digestion and absorption of food occurs. The lining of the small bowel is a single cell layer thick and serves additionally as a strong barrier to toxins, pathogens and large undigested food particles. The walls of the intestines act as barriers, controlling what enters the bloodstream to be transported to your organs. This cell layer is held together very securely with intercellular tight junctions which prevent anything from passing through other than thoroughly digested food and nutrients. When the tight junctions of the intestinal walls become loose, the gut becomes more permeable, which may allow bacteria and toxins to pass from the gut to the bloodstream. This is the phenomenon referred to as “leaky gut.” Then what happens when things enter through these normally “tight” junctions, that shouldn’t be entering? Well, our immune system, which is highly trained to recognize things that belong in our bodies vs. those that don’t belong, will mount a defensive antibody reaction against what has inappropriately crossed this gut barrier. Simply put, a normal part of your immune response that serves to fight infections and diseases winds up over-performing, leading to chronic inflammation, which is at the root of most diseases. Some of the causes of leaky gut include 1) poor diets, laden with added sugars, unsprouted grains, processed foods, GMOs, and synthetic food additives; 2) chronic stress which is the root cause of all illness; 3) overexposure to toxins – including antibiotics, pesticides, tap water, excessive alcohol intake; 4) bacterial dysbiosis – an imbalance between beneficial and harmful types of bacteria in your gut. When the numbers of good bacteria are reduced, this gives an opportunity for harmful bacteria, yeast, viruses, and parasites to take hold and cause problems in the gut. Unfortunately, we see these results all the time when reviewing comprehensive GI testing. It’s important to understand that when the normal defenses of the body (of which the gut is primary) are compromised, exposures
which wouldn’t normally affect us can take root and cause illness. Not every exposure causes disease in every individual. When we take care to regain and maintain the natural balance within our body, we support the natural defenses of the body and prevent illness. So, how do we get there? A solid program we use all the time in our practice is the 5R gut healing protocol. The R’s stand for: Remove, Replace, Restore, Repair, Rebalance. First, you want to remove what is causing inflammation in the gut – such as food insensitivities which can be identified by an elimination diet or food insensitivity testing. The big categories of inflammatory foods are: gluten, soy, eggs, dairy, sugar. You also want to remove infections – identified by a comprehensive stool analysis - and toxins and medications. Then you want to replace what the gut needs for optimal performance such as digestive enzymes (if you’re low). Next, restore the balance of healthy gut bacteria with pre and probiotic foods as well as fiber. A comprehensive stool analysis can tell you if you need digestive enzymes, if you’re having maldigestion, if your fiber levels are low, and what types of bacteria you have too little and too much of. It’s essential to repair the gut with important nutrients it needs to heal and function property such as collagen, glutamine, zinc, fish oils, and vitamins A, C, E. The last R stands for rebalance – addressing the lack of balance and relaxation that can lead to poor gut health. This means relaxing the mind and body and reducing stress. So, now we understand how gut health is fundamental to your overall health and wellbeing. A healthy gut means a healthy immune system. When this basic compartment of our bodies is compromised, as have seen with leaky gut, all kinds of illnesses can result. It’s also vital that you know you have the power to heal your gut, and reduce the inflammation associated with a poorly functioning gut.

Gardening & Landscaping Corner Selecting trees and the root systems that nursery or garden centers offer. Trees require commitment. Young trees grow twice as fast when chosen and planted carefully and they will live twice as long as trees planted carelessly. They require some attention in the first year or two, mostly watering and protection from deer and mower damage. While large, older trees are available from nurseries, they typically will not grow as fast as those planted at a younger age. Young ornamental (and fruit) trees are available in local garden centers and nurseries in three types of packaging bare root, balled and burlapped (B&B) and containerized. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
Bare root trees are just that. They are simply a branched trunk from 4 to 6 feet tall, with exposed roots at its base. They are not always readily available at nurseries and garden centers, but mail order nurseries offer them in a wide variety of species. They are very lightweight and easy to handle. They are also less expensive than young trees that are B&B or in containers. Bare root trees arrive with their roots wrapped in material to keep them moist and in a plastic bag for cool storage until planting time. Plant them in late winter or early spring while they are still dormant. To avoid planting too deeply, be sure the root flare at the base of the stem shows at, or slightly above, ground level after you put the soil in the hole over the roots. Bare root trees need staking for the first year or so to assure that they are stable. The trees that many municipalities plant around town and those they offer to residents for tree planting programs are mostly bare root.

Radnor News
Balled and burlapped (B&B) trees are substantial. Their trunks are typically 6 to 8 feet tall. Their roots are embedded in a ball of soil that is wrapped in burlap and tied with string or surrounded by a wire cage. They are commonly sold at nurseries, and also are available at some garden centers. B&B trees can be fairly expensive because there are usually delivery costs included due to their weight. The advantages of B&B trees are that they are typically a bit bigger, you can plant them all year round if the soil is not frozen, and they generally do not need staking. However, planting them is somewhat more complicated because the burlap or wire must be at least partially removed and sometimes the root flare is covered by the soil on the rootball which also must be removed to establish correct planting depth.
Containerized plants are convenient. The young trees are planted in potting medium in a nursery container. Available from about 6 to 8 feet tall, they are moderately priced and are relatively easy to bring home from the nursery or garden center. A great number of tree varieties are available in containers and they can be planted any time all year as long as the soil can be worked. Planting containerized trees
is relatively straightforward, but it is important to probe the potting medium before planting to be sure that the roots have not wrapped around themselves.Check to see if the root flare at the base of the trunk is visible. Often soil is piled on a containerized tree when it is in its pot, literally burying the stem for several inches. Remove all extra soil to expose the root flare so it is at, or a bit above, ground level when you set the tree in its hole.
The time to select and plant a new tree is always last year. This is especially true when one of your existing trees is in obvious decline. Do not wait until it dies to replace it. Put its replacement in nearby now. It will be fully established and growing vigorously when you lose your old one. It is also true when you are contemplating a new landscape design. Get your trees in first and soonest and they will grow and thrive while you take your time developing the area around them.

Blooming Into Autumn Chanticleer is welcoming the crisp feel of autumn air, while embracing the last gasp of summer in the garden. People often wonder if there are still blooms at Chanticleer in the fall and there absolutely are. Beds are planted with plants that bloom late into the season. Meander the paths at Chanticleer, looking for glimpses of plants like asters, sunflowers, and celosia, combined with striking foliage as it changes color.
If you are a frequent Chanticleer visitor, then you will be familiar with an area of the garden that is always planted with an agricultural crop. Carolina gold rice is planted in the Serpentine this year. The seed was provided by The Carolina Gold Rice Foundation, an organization committed to preserving Carolina Gold Rice and other grains. Our aim is to provide seed from the rice plants growing at Chanticleer to the Foundation to further advance their mission to preserve this heirloom grain. The Chanticleer USA Christopher Lloyd Scholar, Jack McCoy is back from Great Dixter for a month and at Chanticleer working with Intern Donavan Battle in the Cut Flower Garden.
An informal program open to professional gardeners who work full time, is the Chanticleer Guest Gardener program. Dean Charlton, a gardener from Great Dixter is doing guest gardening at Chanticleer and will be here for three-weeks studying how the garden operates. We encourage visitors to ask questions and speak to these gardeners next time you visit!

Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens Welcomes New Executive Director Announcing ®2019 Green Ribbon Native Plant Selections
In 2003, Jenkins introduced its Green Ribbon Native Plant® selection program as a way to share the uses and merits of native plants in the landscape. Each year, three plants, typically a tree, a shrub, and a wildflower, are selected. To receive this recognition, plants must be native to eastern North America, adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions, and have horticultural appeal in a variety of landscape situations. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, native plants typically possess great ecological value for numerous insects, birds, and other wildlife. These plants can be seen growing in various locations throughout the gardens at Jenkins. Keep reading to learn more about the 2019 Green Ribbon Native Plant® selections.
Yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea)
Tom Smarr We are pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Smarr as the new Executive Director of Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens. Tom will succeed Dr. Harold Sweetman, who grew the garden from the ground up and served as Jenkins' Executive Director for 33 years. Tom assumed the role as Executive Director on June 24th. Tom comes to Jenkins with over two decades of experience in horticulture, conservation, botanic gardens, and public parks. He holds a master's degree in urban horticulture from the University of Washington and has worked for institutions such as the University of Washington Botanic Gardens, New England Wild Flower Society's “Garden in the Woods”, the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway in Boston, and the High Line in New York City. Most recently, he led garden and natural areas design for The Parklands of Floyds Fork, a nearly 4,000-acre ribbon of parks in Louisville, Kentucky, which opened in 2016. A native of northern Pennsylvania, Tom stated, “It is a great honor to return home to lead this beautiful and important garden so expertly grown by Dr. Harold Sweetman. I am excited to expand on the many initiatives already taking place at Jenkins: a welldocumented plant collection, a robust endowment campaign, educational experiences focused on environmental horticulture and a free visitor experience for the community. Alongside a terrific and dedicated staff, I look forward to utilizing the resources that Jenkins can provide to further the mission and connect people with our natural world. Great collaborative support will bring forth great achievements as we further the Jenkins legacy.” Please visit Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens often through all the seasons and, when visiting, feel free to introduce yourself to Tom. He will be pleased to meet you as he establishes himself in the community. Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens is located at 631 Berwyn Baptist Road in Devon. Consider becoming a member as through your support we are able to keep admission free, open to the public every day, and growing for generations to come. Check out our program listings for garden events and lectures at www.jenkinsarboretum.org.

American yellowwood is a medium-sized tree native to the southeastern United States, reaching 30-50 feet tall when mature. Indicative of its name, the wood is yellow and encased by smooth grey to light brown bark. It has panicles of white, showy, and fragrant flowers that bloom in the spring. In the fall, it can be identified by its brilliant yellow foliage and bean-like fruits. Yellowwood grows in full-sun to full-shade but performs best in part-sun to part-shade with welldrained soil. It makes a great residential tree and can serve as a focal point on smaller properties or can be planted in masses in larger landscapes. Its roots grow deep into the ground making it an ideal tree to plant under. Pruning should occur in summer because the wood is prone to bleeding if pruned in late winter or early spring. There are very few cultivars of this species with the most notable being Perkins Pink, which sports light pink flowers.
and black walnut. It looks best when planted in masses, as a border, or in a prairie-like or meadow setting. Cutting back Little Bluestem should occur in late winter or early spring. There are many cultivars of this plant including Twilight Zone, which has purple highlights towards the tip; Standing Ovation, which has dark purple and thicker blades towards the base; and Carousel, which has a lower and broader base.
Florida Anise Tree (Illicium floridanum)
Despite the common name, this rapidly growing, broadleaf evergreen shrub grows 6-10 feet tall and 4-8 feet wide. It is native to the southeastern United States and northern Mexico, and can be found in moist, wooded areas. One of its most attractive characteristics is the maroon-purple star-like blooms. The flower is 1-2 inches in diameter and blooms April-May. These unique flowers have a pungent fragrance and are pollinated by flies and beetles. The foliage has a strong spicy fragrance when crushed, which makes this plant unpalatable to deer. Florida Anise Tree thrives in moist, well-drained, highly organic soil, and is partial to full shade. Although native to the deep south, it has proved winter hardy at Jenkins for over 30 years. This plant was first discovered in 1766 and entered into cultivation shortly after. Some popular cultivars include Alba, which has a white bloom; Halley's Comet, which has larger red blooms; and Shady Lady, which has light pink flowers and variegated foliage.
Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium)
Little bluestem is a prairie grass native to eastern North America that matures at 2-4 feet tall and 1.5-2 feet wide. As the name implies, this upright perennial grass is noted for its blueish foliage that turns a beautiful copper tone in the fall. In August, a purple-bronze flower reaches over the foliage and turns into a fluffy seed head, making it a fantastic specimen for yearround interest. This plant is very adaptable. It thrives in full sun, and can tolerate deer, drought, erosion, shallow-rocky soil,

Wharton Esherick Museum The Wharton Esherick Museum was awarded two grants this summer, totaling $75,000, to fund the development of a master campus and interpretive plan. The support came from two sources; the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, which awarded a Keystone Historic Preservation Grant of $25,000 to the Museum, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which awarded the Museum $50,000 towards the planning process. These funds are being used by the Museum to develop a master campus plan, which will connect the Wharton Esherick Studio with Sunekrest, the 19th-century farmhouse owned by Esherick that the Museum purchased in 2014, and prepare for the eventual integration of Esherick's 1956 Workshop, which was designed in collaboration with Louis Kahn. Currently, Esherick's Studio is the centerpiece of the Museum and open through guided tours. With the prospect of opening additional buildings to the public, the Museum is also reframing its interpretive philosophy to create new educational and interpretive experiences for visitors. “Preserving the studio building and collections is the core of our mission, so that visitors for generations to come will be able to experience the joyful, intimate nature of Esherick's most iconic work. But his legacy extends far beyond his hilltop studio, influencing and exciting artists, makers, and audiences the world over,” said Wharton Esherick Museum Executive Director Julie Siglin. “This planning process will allow us to explore the true breadth of that mission as we consider new ways to interpret his work and influence, beyond the walls of the Studio.”
Plan a Visit The Wharton Esherick Museum is experienced through guided tours which must be reserved in advance. About one hour long, the guided tour is an immersive experience which takes guests through the home/studio of Wharton Esherick, preserved much as it was when the artist lived and worked there. Additional programs and events can be found on our website. photo by Charles Uniatowski

Tali Guy’s Recipe Page Fish Papillote The Fish Papillote is more of a technique than a recipe. It is actually a fish with vegetables wrapped in parchment paper and baked in the oven. This is a very healthy dish, quick to prepare and low in calories. Some people may be deterred by this French technique, because it involves cutting the paper and folding it in a very specific way. We will simplify it and make it much easier to prepare.
Pick any fish you like, whole or fillet. Cut vegetables in various shapes. Color combinations will be appealing to the eye, as well as nutritious. Prepare herbs, either fresh or dry, such as thyme, basil, rosemary, etc. If
you have left over pasta, potatoes or vegetables, they may serve as excellent bedding for the fish. Place some of the vegetables on the parchment paper and lay the fish over them. Sprinkle salt and pepper and top with the remaining vegetables and herbs. To intensify the taste you may add garlic, olives, capers, chili flakes, ginger, lemon, vinaigrette, or any other taste you like. Add small cubes of butter and drizzle olive oil and white wine over the dish to enrich the taste. If you want to reduce the calories, omit the butter and oil and use the white wine and lemon juice instead. The fish will be steamed in its own juices. Close the parchment paper around the dish in the simplest manner, as if you are wrapping a present. Leave some room for the steam to develop and circulate inside. Make sure the closure is as tight as possible. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven while baking. The fish will be ready when the paper becomes a little brown and puffy. There are many options for this dish. You may use aluminum paper rather than parchment paper. This technique is also good for shell fish, veal, and chicken breast. If you are using a frozen fish, extend the baking
time by 10 minutes. You may prepare the dish in various styles, such as Asian, by adding sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onion, or Italian, by adding pesto, pasta and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. If you choose to do so, you can add vinaigrette or sauce and fresh herbs when you open the wrapping. Serve straight out of the oven. Each diner will cut the paper open using a knife or scissors. The dish is usually personal, but you may prepare a large fish as a centerpiece for several diners. The aroma will come out of the trapped dish and fill the room. Bon Appétit!

Some think we are a food bank of some kind, and that we solicit or accept food donations. In reality, the meals we deliver are preparedevery week day in the kitchens of two locations: Bryn Mawr Hospital, and Surrey Senior Services (Devon). We do not accept, nor do we distribute, food donations.
Main Line Meals on Wheels: Helping Our Homebound Neighbors The heart of the philosophy of the Meals on Wheels program is that no homebound person should go hungry. The essence is just that simple. Our mission is to deliver nutritious meals to the aged, convalescents, homebound and handicapped persons who are unable to shop or cook for themselves, regardless of race, color, creed or ability to pay. Many people have heard of Meals on Wheels, but are not sure exactly what we do or how we do it. Here are a few points: Some think we are a restaurant meal delivery service. While this is true in the sense that we do deliver meals, we are not connected to any restaurant, and are not geared towards providing “on demand” meal delivery. Our patrons sign up with us for reoccurring delivery (most on every week day), but we do have flexibility to deliver on a variable schedule, for example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of every week. 28
Radnor News
Our daily meal delivery includes two meals: a nutritionally-balanced hot meal, a roll and butter, soup, a sandwich, fruit, dessert, and milk or juice. It is important to understand that, while we can accommodate many dietary requirements or preferences, the content of the meals we deliver is determined by the kitchens that supply us. Some patrons are hesitant to ask for our service because they may be concerned about cost. In reality, we serve our patrons regardless of their ability to pay. There is a modest cost for our meals for those who can afford it, but we do subsidize many of our patrons to either a partial or full extent. Our service area is generally along the Main Line, from City Line Avenue on the east to Malvern on the west; note that this includes all of Radnor Township. We deliver every weekday morning, including holidays. Meals are delivered exclusively by volunteers. Our volunteer schedule is very flexible. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us.
One of the biggest- and ongoing- hurdles we face is identifying those who can benefit from the service we provide. The majority of our patrons are seniors, some of whom do not have internet access and therefore lack a way to search for programs that can provide food in their homes. Local hospitals and medical professionals generally know about us and often suggest us to their patients. Family and friends are also a referral source. We hope that the general public will think of us and speak up when they become aware that someone lacks the ability to provide good, balanced nutrition for themselves on an ongoing basis. Main Line Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organization. While the full charge for meals covers most of the expense for patrons who are able to pay, we largely rely on donations to subsidize meals for the others. It costs about $2,000 to pay for daily meals (five days a week) for one year. Or $1,000 for six months, or $500 for three months. We gratefully accept tax deductible donations. You can find us on the web at mainlinemealsonwheels.org. Facebook as Main Line Meals on Wheels. Or via phone: 610.688.8170.

Senior Lifestyles Respite Care A Necessity for Today's Changing Families As the American population ages, a growing number of adults will serve as caregivers for loved ones. Temporary breaks from caregiving, called respite care, are essential to the health and well-being of the caregiver. Respite care enables caregivers to rejuvenate and take care of themselves. Using respite care means people can keep their loved ones in the home even longer, because they don't become “burned out” due to the demands of round-the-clock caregiving.
Surrey Home Care Services offers a Weekend Respite Program every Saturday in Devon at Surrey's Center for Healthy Living. For more information, call 60-647-9840. Surrey Care Managers can also provide information for families about options for care in the home.
Respite care can be provided either in a facility outside the home or by bringing care into the home. It can be on a regular, planned basis, or just for one situation. One of the most common uses of respite care is for vacations, when the care recipient can't travel. When planning for respite, start by making a list of the care recipient's needs and preferences. For best results, request a planned schedule for the day. Finally, ask for follow up communication describing how the individual's care went.
6 AFFORDABLE CHANGES TO MAKE YOUR HOME SENIOR FRIENDLY Nearly 90 percent of surveyed seniors over age 65 want to stay in their current residence for as long as possible, but many of those homes are not equipped to let them “age in place”.
The key is to evaluate your home and determine what needs to be changed before there are any major health issues. If you start planning now before any issues
HERE ARE SOME EASY, AFFORDABLE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR HOME ACCESSIBLE TO SAFELY AGE IN PLACE Make a safer entrance with a ramp and railings and smooth threshold transitions between rooms and outdoor decks or patios. Add safety rails and grab bars in the bathroom.
Add lever handles to doors, cabinets and faucets for easier opening. Widen the doorways and hallways to accommodate walkers, scooters or wheelchairs. Increase the lighting, especially at the front and back entrances, and also consider adding motion sensors so the lights come on as you approach the entrance. Increase the wattage of the bulbs in interior hallways and stairways. Add larger windows, skylights or track lighting to the kitchen.
