BloodRoot Films, a local independent film company is about to begin production on "The Music of Erich Zann" based on an H.P. Lovecraft short story. The film will be directed by Christopher Marston, a Temple University senior from Croydon, PA. The film stars Edward Keith Baker, Artistic Director of The Bristol Riverside Theatre in the title role. Also starring in the film is Righteous Jolly, a Circle in the Square theatre school graduate, originally from Levittown, PA and Robert Gerenser of New Hope, PA. Mr. Gerenser, is known for his portrayal of George Washington in the annual crossing of the Delaware reenactment on Christmas day in Washington Crossing Park. Also involved in the production are Gina Andreoli of Bristol, PA as the Production/Costume Designer and Aaron Hollander of Huntingdon Valley, PA as the film's producer. The film will be shot in Bucks County and Philadelphia locations. The story, a supernatural horror tale in the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, concerns a young student who stumbles upon a small town seeking lodging for a night. Once settled in the mysterious inn of a local hotelier he becomes intrigued by the bizarre music played by a tenant in a room above his own. Quickly, the student discovers that the composer is a mute violinist whose extraordinary music is actually a defense against a supernatural presence lurking outside the town. For more information about the production, please contact Christopher Marston at chrisMA@temple.edu or log on to the website www.BloodRootFilms.com.

July 15, 2005 - In Pennsbury School District, the members of Mrs. O’Banion’s Advanced Placement Spanish Language class committed themselves to an innovative community service project, which began immediately after their college placement examination on May 4, 2005. Recognizing the steady influx of Hispanics into Bucks County, these ambitious students have helped the Free Library of New Hope and Solebury to address the need for bilingualism in this community. Eager to apply the skills they have learned in second-language acquisition, our high school juniors and seniors have created signs, pamphlets, posters, and packets to advise patrons in both Spanish and English of available resources. Soon, visitors to the library will be able to follow well-delineated steps, written in both languages, which explain how to become a member of the Bucks County library system, operate the computers and check out books. In addition, they will be introduced to recent acquisitions in the library’s new Hispanic collection. Pennsbury’s most proficient students of Spanish anticipate a warm welcome from library members as they become instrumental in making significant changes to this public library that prides itself on serving a diverse community. Moreover, these students hope to make their translations available to all libraries in the Bucks County system. Pennsbury’s AP Spanish team consists of the following: Maddy Butterly, Jen DiRicco, Angie Giordano, Sara Konczylo, Gary McManus, Michelle Poulin, Perryne Vyas and Marilyn Zambrano.
