Join Safe Haven Pa on Facebook St. John’s Featuring Fortepianist Sylvia Berry
STROUDSBURG, PA: St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Stroudsburg is pleased to announce it will be hosting Fortepianist Sylvia Berry for a free performance on Saturday, December 6th at the church’s Nine North 9th Street location in downtown Stroudsburg at 7 PM. Ms. Berry, a native of Philadelphia, has performed as a soloist and chamber musician in the US, Canada, The Netherlands, the UK, and Italy. Her debut CD, a recording of Haydn’s “London Sonatas” (Acis) recorded on an 1806 Broadwood, was hailed by Early Music America as “A wonderful debut that augurs more wonders to come."
The evening’s program will include the music of Haydn, Beethoven, Dussek and Clementi, performed on an 1806 Broadwood & Son fortepiano, restored by Dale Munschy, 2011. The term "fortepiano" refers to any piano (or replica thereof) built before the 1850's. They are generally smaller and do not have full cast iron frames as modern pianos do, creating a warmer and more intimate sound. One of the most famous piano builders of this day, John Broadwood was a personal friend of Haydn’s and also presented Beethoven one of his instruments as a gift. The 1806 Broadwood used in this concert is very similar to the ones Haydn played in London. In addition to the performance by Ms. Berry, the evening will also feature a Q&A session with Ms. Berry and her husband, historical keyboard restoration expert, Mr. Dale Munschy. Furthermore, the audience will be treated to a four-handed piece performed by this incredibly talented husband and wife duo. The evening will conclude at approximately 9 PM following a brief reception in the church’s Fellowship Hall. As a proud member of the Pocono Arts Council, St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church is hosting this free performance as part of its ministry and outreach in Stroudsburg and surrounding communities. Free-will offerings in support of local food pantries will be graciously accepted. For further information on the program, please call Ron Larsen at 570-242-5023, the church office at 570-421-8520 December 7

garywilliamsdmd.com Well, it’s that time again! In most North American homes, the count-down is on for the beginning of a new school year. It always gets me thinking about the great sampling of people we see in our dental office. From newborns to 90-somethings. Last week someone asked me the question, “looking in the mouths of many 40 and 50 year-olds, what could have been different if health was addressed when they were, say…15 years old? The answer is a resounding, a lot! We realize that we do have the opportunity and know-how to change the health future for today’s school kids. In the year 2014 we have the advantage of all the research, learning, and yes, mistakes that have been made by humans, to learn from. And what does that information say? Step in early (school age), and maximize every variable for success. Dentistry knows how to achieve a successful long-term outcome. Once dentistry, parents and children comply; we can change the future of your family’s overall health, for the better. Call a Dental Professional today, and change your future. Battery Recycling Program Pen Argyl is pleased to announce that they are participating in a battery recycling program. Madison Young, a freshman at Pen Argyl, decided to implement a battery recycling program in her community as her Girl Scout Silver Award Project.

For safety purposes, please put a piece of masking tape over the end of each battery. Batteries are not garbage!
