Fresh Artists’ ‘Clothesline’ to hang at Fall for the Arts
by Jennifer Katz

Fresh Artists is bringing back the clothesline and displaying it prominently outside of Weaver’s Way in Chestnut Hill for this year’s Fall for the Arts show on Oct. 10.

The philanthropic group just announced its plans to launch its latest program, Clothesline, at the fall event.

“This program allows the kids and parents to take ownership,” said Meredith Allen Wiggins, Fresh Artists Clothesline Program Coordinator. “It’s more grassroots.”

Flourtown’s ‘Disney’ actor becoming multi-media star
by Len Lear

If you Google “Phillip Brown, actor,” as I did last week, this question will pop up on your computer screen: “Did you mean Philip Brown?” (No. I did not.) You will also see that there are 280,000 results combined for actors Phillip Brown, Philip Brown or Phil Brown. If I looked at all 280,000, it would probably take the rest of my life, but fortunately I found what I was looking for in the 23rd entry.

Stuck in the trivia quagmire

Is it just me, or are people absolutely stuck on things that don’t matter?

From obsession with media personalities and star stories to world events that have no impact on their everyday lives, people – it seems to me – are walking around the streets of America full of notions and passions that have no consequence whatsoever.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m gleaning too much from what I read in the news and glimpse on TV. But the national conversation is consistently stuck on trivia.

CHC women booters win home opener, 2-0
by Tom Utescher

Chestnut Hill College and visiting Millersville University each brought a 0-1 record into last Saturday’s NCAA Division II women’s soccer match-up, and neither club wanted that single setback to be the genesis of a losing streak early in the season.

Scoring early and then netting an insurance goal in the second half, the CHC Griffins got a shutout from sophomore goalie Jessica Veazey (three saves), securing a 2-0 victory to square their record at 1-1. Chestnut Hill had opened its season earlier in the week with a 2-0 loss at West Chester University.

Got her GED
SO WHAT ARE YOUR CAREER GOALS? “My career goal is to be an adult education instructor and director of a nonprofit organization /program in the future. I feel I can make a difference with adult learners. Like them, some of them, I have a G.E.D. So I feel I can really implement real life experiences that coincide with what I went through when I got my G.E.D.  And I feel like I would be a motivator to encourage them to progress with their learning.  And that’s why I want to be an adult educator. Crystal Cox, North Philadelphia.
