of Church of the Redeemer, 230 Pennswood Road, Bryn Mawr.“Standardized” opens with a brief synopsis of the history of standardized testing in public schools. The film covers the
general public’s perception that these tests are accurate measurements, but when closely examined, they merely make agreat deal of money for the test manufacturers (and education reformers) and provide practically no insight into a stu-dent’s ability. The film also follows the money trail and sheds light on just how much money is generated by tests and theirsupporting materials.
The concluding segment provides options to improve schools without testing. There will be a follow up with a Q & Asession with parents who have been researching this topic for over a year.
Sunday services at The Redeemer are at 7:45, 9, and 11:15 a.m. The church is located at Pennswood and New Gulph Roadsin Bryn Mawr. Parking is available. Call 610-525-2486 or visit the church’s website at www.TheRedeemer.org for directionsto the church and more details on this and other programs.

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.

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?

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.”

On Sunday, February 1,twenty-one Friends’ Cen -
tral students, including threeChinese students studyingat FCS through exchange pro -grams, attended the Ivy LeagueModel United Nations Confer -ence (ILMUNC). The world-re -nowned program, hosted bythe University of Pennsyl vania’sInternational Affairs Associa -tion, attracts over 3,000 of theworld’s brightest young mindsto debate current issues inworld affairs. Five Friends’ Cen -tral students were recognizedfor their outstanding contri-butions to the conference.

This group of Upper School -
ers began working in August,with planning meetings, dis-cussions, and other efforts bysenior captains Alex Kalman, Justin Burdge, and Stefan Sultan, who did not want to wastea moment. The full group, advised by history teachers Gary Nicolai and Kelley Graham, beganmeeting three times a week and during some community blocks. “We decided that we real-ly wanted to make the most of this amazing opportunity we were given and take this year’s
competitions very seriously,”Kalman said. Since its founding in 1984 by
Gary Nicolai, Friends’ Cen tral’sModel UN has grown, increas -ing the number of conferencesfrom one a year to three plan -ned conferences this year: Rut -gers’ RUMUN, Penn’s ILMUNC,and one yet-to-be determin -ed additional conference. EmmaVerges ’17, a first-time dele-gate, noted that ILMUNC wasa content rich and engagingconference that required di -plomacy and tact. “Once blocksare formed, we had informalcaucus, making sure our ideasstuck in the final resolution.” The intense competition
tempts some to win by anymeans necessary. For the FCSteam, though, Nicolai gave thestudents explicit rules to playby the letter and spirit it of theconference. Kalman relatedthat Nicolai ensured all the
delegates were there for the experience and not for recognition. “Mr. Nic stresses that youcan’t be a shark in committee – (come with a pre-written resolution or other disingenuoustactics). It’s very authentic; he ensures that.” Verges added, “For us, it was more important

Gallery beginning March 3. The exhibition, which runsthrough March 30, is part of the Media-based senior livingcommunity’s Spotlight Artist Series. On Monday, March 9,Ora will make a presentation: “Weaving the Light.” The pub-lic is welcome to attend this event, which begins at 6:30 p.m.with a wine reception followed by her talk at 7 p.m.Ora has mastered the use of mix media—weaving through
mediums with the same agility she utilizes to weave togeth-er each of her works. By experimenting with materials likeoil, acrylic and watercolor, Ora has developed a unique style,which involves painting with acrylic on linen, cutting the can -vas and weaving it back to “create a three dimensional im -pression of colors and forms, in a two dimensional world.”Ora graduated with a degree in Art from the Community
College of Philadelphia, and received certifications in paint-ing and drawing from the Pennsylvania Academy of FineArts (PAFA) and Haifa University, Israel. She has exhibitedher work in private collections and galleries throughout thegreater Philadelphia area, including PAFA, Da Vinci Art Allianceand The Old City Jewish Arts Center. Ora has also won awardsfor her artwork from the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorialand the Photographic Society of America. For informationon the artist and her works, visit www.orabialik.com.To reserve a seat at the opening, contact Martins Run at

The Retired Senior & Volunteer Program (RSVP) which provides volunteers 55-years and older, working or retired, withan opportunity to help out in their community, is conducting a special program to seek people to tutor or mentor stu-
dents at the Alain Locke School, 4550 Haverford Avenue, in West Philadelphia. The event will be held at the school on Thurs -day, March 12, beginning with registration and light breakfast at 9:30 a.m. to be followed by a one-hour program at 10 a.m.RSVP is partnering with Achieve Now, an organization dedicated to the literacy and mathematics crisis in our region.
RSVP has recently expanded into West Philadelphia, addressing the needs of an area identified by President Obama as aPromise Zone. The area includes roughly two square miles bounded by the Schuylkill River to the east, Girard Avenue tothe north, 48th Street to the west, and Sansom Street to the south. Childhood literacy is one of the concerns RSVP plans to confront in this area. Sandi Friedman, a project director for the
Philadelphia area’s RSVP program, with headquarters at the Klein JCC in Northeast Phila delphia, says, “This is part of ourongoing program seeking volunteers who enjoy working with young people who can both act as tutors and or mentorsfor students at the Locke School which offers classes from kindergarten through eighth grade. If you’re 55-years or older
and can volunteer from two to four hours per week, we’d love to talk with you about becom-ing part of this engaging and most worthwhile program.” Friedman additionally noted thatthey are also seeking someone to serve as a volunteer librarian.“Helping to educate youngsters is not only personally gratifying to seniors, but it also
helps to keep them mentally and physically active which is vitally important to their ownwell-being as well,” Friedman notes. It’s a win-win all the way around.” Anyone interestedin attending the special program to volunteer to tutor, and or mentor, may contact RachelAistrop, the RSVP Promise Zone Literacy Director at 215-668-5070 or email her at [email protected]. The RSVP program is federally funded through the Corporation For National And Commu -
nity Service and also receives funding from the Philadelphia Corporation For Aging and theJewish Federation of GreaterPhiladelphia. In Philadelphia, RSVP is sponsored by the Klein JCC located at 10100 Jami son
Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19116.Last year, all over the country more than 450,000 RSVP volunteers, ages 55 and over, con-
tributed more than 98 million hours through 6,500 organizations, improving the lives of mil-lions. Locally, RSVP has some 950 active volunteers working with hundreds of Philadelphiaarea organizations, communal endeavors and schools. This year RSVP will celebrate 43 yearsof service to the Philadelphia community.

Retired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel and coun-terinsurgency expert John Nagl comes to Tredyffrin PublicLibrary, 582 Upper Gulph Road, Strafford, on Thursday, March12, at 7 p.m., to talk about his new memoir, “Knife Fights: AMemoir of Modern War in Theory and Practice.” He will dis-cuss his career and the revolution in warfare he helped lead,in combat and in Washington.When John Nagl was an army tank commander in the firstGulf War of 1991, fresh out of West Point and Oxford, he wasan early convert to the view that America’s greatest futurethreats would come from asymmetric warfare—guerrillas,terrorists, and insurgents. He got the military to send himback to Oxford to study the history of counterinsurgency.
The result would become the bible of the counterinsurgencymovement, a book called “Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife.”The events of 9/11 and the Iraq invasion brought counter -insurgency to the forefront and after hard fighting in Iraq,Nagl was sent to the Pentagon to work with General DavidPetraeus to coauthor the new army and marine counterin-surgency field manual, rewriting core army doctrine. Thatdoctrine changed the course of two wars and the thinkingof an army.Nagl is former president of the Center for a New AmericanSecurity, current headmaster of The Haverford School andone of the most important army officers of his generation.For info or to register, visit www.tredyffrinlibraries.org orcall 610-688-7092.

because it is “a critically acclaimed musical that had a long Broadway run in New York.”This is Dobson’s second time directing “Avenue Q.” She first directed the musical this past
summer for a professional theatre in Virginia. Dobson says this production presents theadded challenge of working with puppets on top of acting and singing.“Characterization needs to be created through the puppets, making the puppets express
emotion through songs and dialogue,” says Dobson.Dobson adds that “Avenue Q” gives actors the unique experience to work with puppets
while “tackling many contemporary themes that are very relevant and very funny.”The audience can expect a live ensemble of professional musicians and students. Guest
artist Douglass Lutz, from the Walnut Street Theatre Corporation in Philadelphia, PA, will bethe show’s conductor and director of music. Guest scenic designer Thomas Bumblauskasfrom Las Vegas, NV was brought in to design a set reminiscent of the off-Broadway set.“Avenue Q” includes a cast of 13 students, with some actors doubling as multiple pup-
pets. It is not recommended for younger audiences, as the puppets encounter adult situationsand profanity.Performances run February 19-21 and 27-28 at 8 p.m., and close with a matinee on March
1 at 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the box office one hour before the show, by vis-iting http://clubs.sju.edu/theatre/ or by calling 610-660-1181. The cost is $10 for SJU stu-dents, faculty and staff, and senior citizens; general admission is $20. Bluett Theatre is locat-ed on the campus of Saint Joseph’s University in Post Hall at 56th Street and OverbrookAvenue.

to get our ideas across [and to be included in the final resolution] than making sure ournames were on the final draft.”Kalman said that the awards were not the end goal but instead external validation for
their work. “What I’ve learned through Mr. Nic, who’s been an excellent advisor through-out the process, is that Model UN is about the experience: combining all the interperson-al, research, and public speaking skills we had to develop while preparing, then taking thoseskills to a four-day conference and being able to collaborate and achieve a common goal.”Kalman explained, “It’s about being able to work well and solve real-world issues with peo-ple we've just met. It’s never been about the awards.”Model UN at Friends’ Central has been an inspirational start for many students, includ-
ing Ben Fogel FCS alum from the Class of 2013, now a member of the Class of 2017 at theUniversity of Pennsylvania, editor of the Penn Political Review, and a member of the Inter -national Affairs Association in which he helped organize UPMUNC, Penn’s collegiate ModelUN conference. Fogel credits his experience at FCS as the catalyst for his commitment topublic service. “FCS left me with more questions about good governance, civil society,and the world around me than answers – a truly invaluable gift.” Fogel plans to attend lawschool and has aspirations for a career in public policy, a decision, he imagines, is “due inno small part to my days preparing for Model UN with Mr. Nicolai in the computer labs orpracticing my opening statement for mock trial in the Lecture Hall with Mr. Morris.”Nicolai ensures that Friends’ Central’s program stays true to the spirit of authentic coop-
eration and insists his students approach discussions with each other honestly, despitetemptations to deceive and undercut the positions of other delegates. “Model UN is reallyan outgrowth of what students learn in the classroom, and I want students to put theirprinciples into practice.” Nicolai feels the program is well supported by Friends’ Central’sUpper School curriculum, which prepares students well for informed debates by coveringcoursework on Political Realism regarding Melos and Peloponnesian War unit in 9th gradehistory, Conflict Resolution in grade 10, 11th grade American History course, and a numberof electives in grade 12, enabling students to learn the causes, effects, and resolution ofcon flict. He added, “Taking part in Model UN is really about taking the knowledge studentshave learned in the classroom, challenging them to work together with other students fromaround the world, representing sometimes less-than-allied countries, and using all they’velearned to come to a resolution.”

a severe case of
viral encephali-

youngest schol-

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-

making her one of a select group
of Americans to have attained
that honor. A member of the
Broadcasting and Cable Hall of
Fame, Roberts also serves on
the boards of several non-prof-

Ivy Young Willis was a pio-

The League of Women Voters
and the World Affairs Council.

Simone. Headquartered in bothNYC and Iquail’s hometownof Philadelphia, the compa-ny will present “Black Swan”
February 27 at Philadel phia’s Mandell Theater, 3201 Chest nut Street, Philadelphia. Tick etsare $15. For reservations, call 1-800-838-3006 or visit www.brownpapertickets.com.Iquail uses the experience of the black ballerina as a starting point to examine issues of
race and identity, also incorporating elements of performance art to investigate these psy-chological issues. With “Black Swan,” the choreographer remains true to his commitmentto use the art of dance as a conduit for combating issues of social injustice experiencedprimarily by the disadvantaged. (The work runs 75 minutes and includes some nudity.)“Black Swan” is part of the February activities of Dance Iquail in New York and Philadel -
phia, to celebrate Black History Month. Iquail Shaheed was trained at the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Perform -
ing Arts and with Philadanco, subsequently dancing with Danco II. He has earned scholar -ships to the Ailey School, Martha Graham School, Paul Taylor School, and Juilliard, amongothers, and received a BFA in Ballet Performance from the University of the Arts and anMFA from SUNY/Purchase. His other performing credits include dancing with CompagnieThor in Brussels, and at home with the companies of Sean Curran, Ronald K. Brown andFred Benjamin. His Broadway credits include The Lion King, Purlie, and Hot Feet. As ateacher, specializing in the Horton style, Iquail is on the faculty of the Ailey School, Stepson Broadway, and the Harlem School of the Arts, and has guest teaching engagements inEurope, Africa, and the Caribbean. He created his cutting-edge Dance Iquail seven yearsago to educate and empower both talented dancers and audiences, and also to offer a pos-itive influence to inner city youth through education and community awareness.Visit www.danceiquail.org.
