Pennswood Art Gallery Presents Split Second Photographs by Virginia Bergey Sunday, July 18, 2021 through Sunday, September 5, 2021

Residents and vaccinated visitors are invited to attend the opening celebration on Sunday, July 18, 2021 with the illustrated Artist’s Talk in Penn Hall at 2:00 p.m. and wine and cheese reception at 3:00 p.m.

We are delighted to be welcoming OUTSIDE VISITORS for the first time in a year and a half.

The exhibition features photographs by Virginia “Ginny” Bergey, a resident of Foulkeways.

Potosi Pond Describing her themes in her artist’s statement, Bergey writes that she photographs something because, “It caught my attention.”

The viewer will enjoy Ginny’s variety of subject matter and how carefully she chooses what to include in a print. Sometimes she portrays just one interesting object or person, sometimes groups of objects or people, and landscapes. Her angle of perception is often unexpected, and always beautiful.

Bergey has a BS in medical technology and worked at Merck & Company. Her wide variety of interests include sports cars and flying an airplane!

She has attended many photography classes and workshops, and the list of her exhibitions is extensive.

Please Note: Visitors must print and complete the COVID-19 Questionnaire Form on our website, https://pennswood.org/visitor-information/.On arrival, the Welcome Center at- tendant will take your completed form, record your temperature and ask for proof of vaccination. You will receive a visitor badge that notes you have shown proof of vaccination. This badge must be worn and be visible at all times while you are on the Pennswood cam- pus.

LET OUR LIVES SPEAK - JORDAN ( “J” BUILDING) (Did you ever wonder how the Pennswood buildings were named? Each week the Quakerism Committee will feature one building and its namesake.) One aspect of practicing the Quaker religion, which has been important to Quakers through the years, is the use of silent meditation. Early Quakers found the silence to be important because it enabled them to get in touch with their innermost spirit, so they were able to be truly moved to speak—or to not speak.

Richard Jordan, like many early Quakers kept a “Journal” in which he recorded much of his spiritual life. There are many references to “being drawn to stillness.”

Unlike many religions where a vocal sermon is an essential part of the service, in many Quaker Meetings, the silence is the essential part.

Early Quakers met in homes, but as they grew, they established “meetinghouses”. The first property they purchased was for a burial ground, as they were not allowed to be buried in a Church of England graveyard. The Jordan Meeting, built in 1688, is well known because its graveyard is the final resting place for William Penn and his first wife and children and his second wife and their children. Many American tourists visit this site.

The Case of the Moving Library Chapter 3: The Owl of Ch. 1 Gives a Hoot About Your Reading. “What can I read while you’re closed?” readers ask the Library. The Owl and the Library People suggest you plan ahead now for the closing to come. The Owl promises to keep his eyes open even if you get drowsy. Please consider all these options: ❖ Shall I stock up? When the closing date is announced, and before the actual closing date, check out books or DVDs to tide you over while our library is closed, for as long as The When? Mystery is in power, maybe three weeks. Please keep only the books you need, and return all others before the announced closing date.

The more books the Library still has on its shelves when we move, the better able we will be to fit them into the new library where they belong. Please don’t be tempted to check out many books in order to lessen the load and relieve the library volunteers of books to carry. That strategy, used by some moving college and public libraries, has been a rewarding experience for those participating, but won’t work for us. The staff will move all our library books, with library volunteers leading the way to position them correctly. ❖ Will I be able to take out the Grab and Go paperbacks during this “closed” period? The library expects to position the book rack nearby. If it won’t fit anywhere close, we’ll post a sign on the G&G shelf ahead to encourage you to take out the paperbacks before the closing date, so you’ll have them available.

❖ Can I get to the newspapers and magazines? We’ll put selected ones in Pass- more Lounge. Please read and leave them there.

❖ What about using the public library? Good idea! The Transportation Office now provides a bus to the Langhorne Library on Wednesdays. For details on ways the public Library can help you enhance your reading, please see the article elsewhere in this Bulletin.

❖ Remember all those books you brought with you to Pennswood? Maybe they’re in stacks or under the bed. Enjoy them again! Or trade with your neighbors. Chapter 4 of The Case of the Moving Library will be published once the present Library’s closing date has been announced, at least a week before the closing date itself. During the period the Library is closed, the Mystery Writer will take time off to sharpen pencils, getting ready to re-appear in Chapter 5. The PEOPLE of the PENNSWOOD LIBRARY

Meet Your Neighbors Who Live Across the Road As I mentioned in my last article, the Poor Clare Sisters live just across the road from Pennswood. One way to support themselves, as they live their life of enclosure, is to make and distribute altar breads or wafers.

These consecrated wafers are shipped not just to parishes within the Philadelphia Diocese, but around the country. Interestingly, they are one of the few monasteries still baking altar breads. And as a matter of fact, during the visit of Pope Francis in 2015, the Poor Clares worked tirelessly to supply the communion wafers for the Masses celebrated by the Pope.

Making the wafers is a straight-forward, yet time consuming process including several steps: mixing, baking, humidifying, cutting, and finally, inspecting, sorting, packing and shipping. This, of course, is not a one -day project. To begin with, water and either white or whole wheat flour is blended in large commercial mixers to a waffle like consistency. Appropriately, the thin liquid is poured onto a “Stove” that resembles a large waffle iron. (Each stove has been named, but that’s another story.) Each stove is imprinted with a variety of religious imprints. Besides the regular thick hosts, the Sis- ters bake a very thin wafer for patients in hospitals and nursing homes, as well as house-bound individuals. As with waffles, the baking time is very brief. The thin baked sheets are removed and transferred to a humidifier for a time to ensure the successful cutting into various wafer sizes. The final steps of inspecting, sorting, packing, and shipping completes the process. The Sisters have provided a video on their website that proves a picture is worth a thousand words. It is easy to find on the Poor Clare Monastery website www.poorclarepa.org under the dropdown tab for Altar Breads.

A third article on the Poor Clare Monastery will appear next week. Interested in joining our committee? Kindly contact Diane Orr 267-254-9853

14 Carolyn Peters Michener Perpetually Smoking Volcan Poas, Costa Rica 1993

While visiting Cosa Rica, I investigated several active volcanoes. Volcan Poas, which belongs to the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire,” stands nearly 9,000 feet high, with a caldera about a mile across and 1,000 feet deep. It perpetually gives off smoke-laden sulfur fumes—So do not climb over the fence into the caldera; you might not get out alive.

15 Norm & Judy Rubin Succulent and Colorful Death Valley National Park, CA 1998

As we discovered when we visited Death Valley, the name is a misnomer. It’s really quite beautiful and does support plant and other life in some places. The name comes from the borax mine that used to operate in the valley. The borax was hauled out in wagons famously hauled by 20 mules. For the miners who accompanied the wagons, it was a punishing trip, and some died of dehy- dration or heat stroke.

16 Norm & Judy Rubin Discovering Nova Scotia Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada 2010

We have visited Nova Scotia twice and greatly en- joyed it both times. The second time, we took a bus tour out of Halifax that also took us to Prince Edward Island and Cape Bretton Island. Pictur- esque Peggy’s Cove is well known to those travel- ing in Nova Scotia, and we wouldn’t have missed it. Both commercial fishing and lobstering still support the local economy.

17 David & Caroline Swain Expressions on Rock Dinosaur National Monument, UT 2008

While hiking in one of Utah’s many beautiful nat- ural areas, we spotted this petroglyph on a rock face, not so visible from a distance but clearer close up. We learned later that this man was prob- ably carved here by an agricultural group of Na- tive Americans about 1,000 years ago. Our early fellow-Americans did not reveal the meanings of their petroglyphs, maybe artistic or religious expressions, identi- fication markers for a clan, signs related to hinting, or something else. For us hikers, not knowing was fun because we could use our imaginations.
