After 60 years, Neshaminy Mall historic dioramas saved | Exclusive

Ten minutes. That’s how long it took to rescue the last three pieces of unique historical artwork from imminent destruction in Bucks County on Tuesday. Ten minutes after a week of careful planning, precise measuring and tricky demolition work necessary to free the large window-size dioramas in the now-closed Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem. The displays removed Nov. 10 were the last of seven animatronic dioramas depicting scenes from Colonial life during the American Revolution that were installed nearly 60 years ago as part of an intended permanent exhibit. With demolition of more than half of the mall property scheduled to start next month as part of a major mixed-use redevelopment of the property, Bensalem officials had pledged to save the last and most difficult to remove of the displays. Sally Van Sant Sondesky, founder and former president of the Bensalem Historical Society, was among the handful of onlookers Tuesday who got a close up view as they were removed. The scenes depicted William Penn signing a treaty with the Shackamaxon tribe; Ben Franklin’s 1785 return to Philadelphia from Paris and finally, the 1777-78 hiding of the Liberty Bell in Allentown. “You can’t do that anymore,” Van Sant Sondesky said of

Readington school board pulls ‘Perks’ from middle school library

READINGTON – In an issue that has roiled the school district for much of this year , the Board of Education has voted to remove “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” from the middle school library. The board’s Nov. 10 vote came after an hour of public comment in which only two of more than 20 speakers supported removing the book. After each speaker opposing the removal spoke, the audience packed into the Holland Brook School cafeteria broke into loud and sustained applause. The two speakers who favored removing the book were met with silence. The vote was 4-3, with one abstention from Paulo Lopes, who originally objected to the young adult novel and brought his complaint to the board, triggering the review process. Lopes, who lost his bid for reelection Nov. 3, alleged that a scene in the novel describing sexual assault “fails to show accountability or victim support, potentially misleading readers.” Anna Barton, Pamela Cassidy and Elizabeth Fiore voted against removing the book. David Rizza, Justina Ryan, Linda Rad and Ellen DePinto voted in favor of removal. Richard Pieros was absent. Why the Readington school board removed ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ Board members favoring removal said

Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?
