 TEST DRIVE | By M I K E C A R R
Drive this car,
and you will realize
Alfa
Romeo
what you never
knew: you need
an Italian SUV.
MIKE CARR
With a weekend to drive the new
Stelvio power 280 and 307 lb./ft of torque,
Alfa Romeo named for the Continents
iconic mountain pass, we carefully
mapped a route covering some of the
winding Bucks County back roads that
best resemble the Stelvios namesake.
Because Alfa, in a first, has produced
a crossover, we were sure to include
a few roads that would test its prowess
over rougher surfaces. We were not
disappointed.
This rounds our series of test-drives
of the new Alfa models. Excited by
its more traditional offerings the
pure sports car 4C, and the practical
and sporty Giulia sedan we were
intrigued to learn what crossover
meant in Italian. Surprising to some,
the Stelvio is Alfas effort to reproduce
the success enjoyed by Porsche, BMW,
Mercedes and Audi in this segment,
and it is a success indeed.
The four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo
produces a surprising amount of
10 11
to be precise. With ample use of
aluminum and composites, the Stelvio
is 300 pounds lighter than the BMW
X3, but lightness does not translate
into a feeling of cheapness. To the
contrary, the Alfa feels like it is well
constructed. Our model had optional
20-inch wheels, which absorbed
road imperfections admirably (while
looking great).
One hopes that Alfa, now part of the
Chrysler family, has finally overcome
reliability concerns, because you want
this car for the way it drives. Steering
is linear and steady, and the brakes and
accelerator are responsive to minimal
inputs. So much so in the case of the
accelerator, that we repeatedly found
ourselves needing to slow down to
something remotely approaching the
posted speed limits. River Road
in New Jersey has recently been
repaved, and offers smooth sweeping
RADIUS | ISSUE 040 | DECEMBER JANUARY 2017/18
curves just made for this hot hatch.
A member of the local constabulary,
who clearly saw that I was enjoying
myself, waved and momentarily
flashed his emergency lights, just to
let me know to take it easy. We were
grateful for the reminder.
Though responsive and quick, the
Stelvio is not small. It is roomier inside
than its exterior would suggest. It is
a bit bigger than the Audi Q5 and the
BMW X3, but somehow handles like
a smaller car, approaching Porsche
Macan levels of performance at
a base price of about $42,000. The
base model is very nicely equipped,
with great 10-way adjustable seats
and a premium sound system, all at
10 grand less than the Porsche. Even
with upgrades like heated seats, a larger
8.8-inch infotainment screen, proximity
key, parking sensors, back up cam,
and power lift gate, the Stelvio seems
like a bargain.
The Stelvios paddles shifters, and
the steering wheel mounted start/
stop button more common in a sports
car do not seem out of place, even in
a small SUV. In automatic mode, the
transmission performs flawlessly.
Alfa needs to move units if its re-
entry into the North American market
is going to succeed. To that end, they
have built a beautiful crossover and
have priced it to sell. That price seems
even better when you realize that your
brand is spoken of in the same breath
as its Maserati and Ferrari brethren.
Drive this car, and you will realize
what you never knew: you need an
Italian SUV. | r

Nutcracker Offers a Fresh
Take on a Holiday Classic

T

The Nutcracker is a centuries-
old fairy tale ballet that tells the
story of a young girls Christmas Eve
celebrations with her family, and the
adventures that ensue in her dreams
of a Nutcracker Prince. Set to the music
of Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker made
its original debut in December 1892
in St. Petersburg, and after showings
throughout Europe and the U.S. in the
1940s, gained widespread regard as
the calling card of the holidays.
Marilyn Budzynski, founder and
Artistic Director of Budzynski Ballet
Theater, has carried the tradition of
The Nutcracker throughout her entire
40-year dance career. Beginning at age
18, when she earned the opportunity to
tour with the Pennsylvania Ballet, and
later the New York City-based Ballet
Repertoire, Budzynski gave hundreds
of performances in the reputable Pas
De Dix Serenade, Carmina Burana,
Concerto Barocco, and, of course
The Nutcracker.

Budzynskis Nutcracker can
be seen one day only Saturday,
Dec. 23 at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. at
Central Bucks South High School
Auditorium, 1100 Folly Road,
in Warrington, Pa.

I love seeing the

performance has ended.
MARILYN BUDZYNSKI
It was common for us to give
32 performances of The Nutcracker
in a single season, she recalled.
After opening a string of her own
dance studios in Bucks County, and
now having directed Budzynski Ballet
Theater for 11 years, she has not faltered
on her commitment to this beloved
holiday classic. Rehearsals for this
years show began in early October.
Each time around, we have an
entirely new and talented cast, which
makes for an exciting, brand new
production and keeps audiences on
their toes, explained Budzynski.
Although she makes subtle changes
to her renditions in order to generate a
continuously fresh, entertaining, and
family-friendly performance, the main
storyline is always the same.
Tchaikovsky had a magical way
of unfolding a story through music,
Budzynski observed. I believe the
choreography in this show flows
naturally and gets to the heart of real,
classical dancing.
She hopes this years Nutcracker
will add to the holiday cheer and joy Mixed Threads in Peddlers Village. Weve doubled in size and are

HENRY ROLLINS

H
enry Rollins entered the
public scene in 1980 as the
hard-hitting singer for the
punk rock band Black Flag.
The six years he spent touring with
the group established his reputation
as an often angry, always intense rebel.
Since the bands breakup, Rollins has
gone on to pursue a range of different
career ventures, including spoken word
performances, writing, hosting radio
and television, acting, and storytelling.
In January, Rollins will launch the
Travel Slide Show Tour, which will
give audiences an intimate view of
Rollins international travels through
a series of photos and narration.
We talked with Rollins about the
tour, his career, and his enduring
angry reputation.

What sort of images can audiences
expect to see on this tour?
The photos are, for the most part,
of streets, villages, slums, souks,
war zones and the people who live in
them. Its more reportage than leisure.
There are some nature scenes, like in
Antarctica, but for the most part, its
stuff that hits back. With almost any
photo, theres a story. I have found
that the more a situation takes me
out of the comfort of familiarity, an
awareness kicks in that is hopefully
reflected in the photographs.
People often comment about how
skilled you are at captivating an
audience. Is there some sort of secret
to holding an audiences attention?
You need to not only believe in your
material, but also to have earned it.
I try to earn experiences. If they hurt,

to art. This is the turbulence I feel

I was watching all these people watch

I think you got played. Its the idea

Is there anything that youre
afraid of?
Im not a tough guy, nor am I brave.
That being said, I have no fear of death
or injury. Its not a wild and crazy
guy thing, its more a numbness to
consequence.
I see America not as a country one
lives in, but a high-risk, predatory
capitalist environment in which one
tries to survive. The early Americans
were for the most part slaves or slave
owners. Not a great deal has changed,
although the lines have become
blurred, like different versions of
justice, depending on your ethnicity
and pay grade. I reject being either the
owner or the owned. The great irony is
that the owners are more owned than
theyll ever understand. I would like to
think that I live outside of a lot of that.
I dont want in. Out here, theres
nothing to be afraid of except apathy. | r

as a fine art and freelance photographer.
The secret to her success has been a
combination of determination and natural

heart. Armed with a Canon EOS 5D
Mark III camera, Lovelys photography
is inspired by her personal mantra, So
many intriguing images, so little time.
Born to creative parents, and having
pursued drawing and painting as
a young girl, Lovely always had an
affinity for the arts. Yet, it was not until
her junior year as a political science

enrolled in her first photography course.

In the years following graduation,
she worked various jobs while practicing

and gaining technical knowledge from
coursework at Richmond College in
London, S.U.N.Y. Purchase, and Creald

After having two of my pieces
selected for a professional show at the

a sign that I should be doing this full

The real test is whether the viewer

Lovelys collection of winter images
lives up to this measure, revealing
an intimate glimpse of Bucks County

And she has achieved special honors for

This career path has opened me
to many unique experiences and to

by Winfred Hyatt, 1920s
from the collections of Glencairn
and the National Christmas Center
and Museum in Lancaster, Pa.
R. Michael Palan and Karen
Loccisano, a husband-and-wife team
of professional artists from Bridgewater,
N.J., have been working on this years
featured nativity for over three years.
Inspired by a painting by Flemish artist
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the artists used
polymer clay, Styrofoam, wood and
cardboard to develop the image of Mary
and Joseph in a 16th century Flemish
farm yard dusted with snow.
Later in our research, notes Palan,
we discovered another 16th century
Flemish painting [that] depicts an
angel believed to be the earliest
visual depiction of Down syndrome.

Natural and Sustainable

Division of Worlds Largest
Beauty Company Puts Down
Roots in Historic Doylestown
By L E L A C A S E Y
Photography S T A C E Y C R E S C I T E L L I

E ver since his childhood on a farm in Kansas,

Shane Wolf, has had a deep love of seeds.
Seeds, to him, were nature in its purest essence.
Even as his career path took him into the fast-paced
world of the beauty industry, there remained a persistent
inner voice calling him to protect and honor the earth
through seeds nature in its purest essence.

 A CLOSER LOOK | By L E L A C A S E Y
It was that same voice that drove
Wolf, along with lead marketer Brad
Farrell, to create Seed Phytonutrients,
a sustainable farm to beauty branch
of LOral that has its headquarters in
downtown Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
When I look at a tiny seed and
think about its ability to grow into
a giant plant and to root itself into the
earth, its just fascinating, explained
Wolf. The power of that little seed
is at the heart of life. When I thought
about the potency of that seed and how
efficacious the oils inside it could be,
it felt like a beginning.
From that beginning, Wolf wanted
to make a big impact.
We were crazy enough to go all
the way up to our worldwide CEO at
LOral, and present our idea to make
a product based on mindfulness and
sustainability, continued Wolf.
His boldness paid off. LOral agreed
to launch Seed Phytonutrients as a
new brand of the company, operating
outside their normal internal processes
of product and brand development,
and a revolutionary new enterprise
was born.

This is the first time that the
organization has supported an incubator
project fully funded by the company,
but operating as a start-up, said Wolf.
LOrals U.S. headquarters are in New
York in a massive, beautiful glass tower,
and our office is in these lovely two
rooms with a display made from wood
from my barn in Bucks County.
That local connection is something
to which Wolf and his partners
remain committed.
Were so proud to be part of the
local Bucks County community, Wolf
said. We chose Doylestown because
it was the county seat. Its the place
where the crops used to be sold the
heartbeat of farmers lives.
The office location is only one small
way that Seed Phytonutrients has laid
down local roots. Wolf and his partners
have worked very hard to develop
relationships with local farmers.
We were crazy enough to go
all the way up to our worldwide
CEO, and present our idea
to make a product through
LOreal based on mindfulness
and sustainability.
SHANE WOLF
RADIUS | ISSUE 040 | DECEMBER JANUARY 2017/18
Weve been working with Barefoot
Botanicals just down the road to grow
our sunflowers, Wolf explained.
They had never grown them before,
but they ended up so beautiful. We
had a great yield.
Its important for us to support
organic farmers, he continued. One
of the things well do, for example,
is pay 100% for the crop up front,
regardless of the ultimate yield, so
they have that resource to reinvest
to continue to grow.
Seed Phytonutrients dedication
to sustainability goes beyond the
product to include using the most
environmentally friendly packaging
available. They created the first ever
shower-safe compostable bottle
that is made from 100% recyclable
material and uses 60% less plastic
than traditional bottles.
Our mission of focusing on the
greater good and helping farmers
and saving seeds drives us to make
decisions that you wouldnt normally
make in a traditional business,
observed Farrell. We think about the
farmer and the seeds before we think
about things like getting the highest
profit margin. Its very dynamic and
exciting. We hope to plant the seeds
of health, wellbeing, and sustainability
for future generations.
In order to achieve this goal,
the seeds themselves must be
protected, and the safeguarding of
seeds remains at the heart of Seed
Phytonutrients mission.
Up to 94% of seed varieties have
been lost over the last 100 years
according to the experts at National
Geographic, Farrell said. Thats
devastating.
Our mission of focusing on the
greater good and helping farmers
and saving seeds drives us to make
decisions that you wouldnt normally
make in a traditional business.
BRAD FARRELL
The good news is that some people
more than a decade ago recognized
this, and did something about it, Wolf
added. Theyve created local seed
libraries. The first one (in the U.S) was
up in Hudson Valley, N.Y. Its based on
the idea that I could bring in my Aunt
Lucilles tomatoes and trade it for corn
from Brads Uncle Francis. This way, you
could come and check out seeds and
keep heirloom local varieties thriving.
There are now over 100 of them. We
plan to launch one here so that the local
community can participate.
Bringing together the local and
national community around the idea of
preserving the earth, while also creating
amazing beauty products, is how Wolf
is responding to the inner voice that
called him many years ago when he was
just a farm boy in Kansas. | r

Theres a divine element thats trying to express

itself through nature if you look closely enough.
And its that element Im trying to portray in my
work. Art is a sort of prayer really. Youre asking,
Please show me what else there is.
DESMOND McRORY

Pennsylvania Impressionist
Desmond McRory Reveals
the Divine in Nature Spring House

W hen Desmond McRory stepped

into the Londons Tate Museum
in 1975, he was confused.
Until then, he had always believed
the highest form of work was to create
a perfect copy of reality. But, there in
front of him, was a wall of paintings by
J. M. W. Turner, which were ambiguous
and devoid of detail, and yet touched
him more deeply than any other art ever
had. Turners art opened up a portal
into another world of emotions and
spirituality that fascinated McRory so
much that he has devoted his entire
career to capturing it.
I knew that Turner had been
a successful representational artist,
McRory said. But the paintings
I saw that day were abstract
and impressionistic. I needed to
understand why someone would
go from painting reality to this more
vague, ambiguous form of art.
When he returned to the United
States, McRory began looking for
the answer in Tonalism, a form of
American Impressionism.
Tonalism was an art movement that
arose from the traumatic experience
of the Civil War, McRory explained.
People thought that maybe God had
left us. They looked to nature and
hoped that maybe God would reveal
himself there.
It was through nature that McRory
began to find his own inspiration. Each
day, hed venture outdoors early in the
morning or late in the evening to sit
quietly in a field or near a stream and
absorb the mood of the scene. Later,
in his studio, hed capture that mood
through his paintings.
We lie to tell the truth through
painting, observed McRory. Its not
about painting every leaf, its more
of capturing a feeling, a deeper truth.
What is the truth of a morning? Is it
every tree painted just right, or is it
more of a particular mood?
Its almost like music, continued
McRory. What makes it appealing is
that your perception becomes part of
the piece. When paintings have that
abstract, inclusive feel and when they
are in a minor key saturated colors
like grays they exude a spiritual feel.
The spiritual feel that McRory first
realized in Turners work is one that
continues to guide his own paintings.
Theres a divine element thats
trying to express itself through nature
if you look closely enough, McRory
said. And its that element Im trying
to portray in my work. Art is a sort of
prayer really. Youre asking, please,
show me what else there is.
When you paint, the specific
location stops being the focus and you
get taken to a more universal place,
added McRory. I dont think this
world is just what we see. Its more of
a manifestation of something much
bigger than us. Everyone has come to
agreement that this is the reality we
believe in, but no one really knows the
truth behind that. My goal in art is to
poke holes in that reality weve created
to get to the other side.
McRory has found Bucks County to
be particularly conducive to accessing

when you can really feel a sense of
DESMOND McRORY otherworldliness. Mornings, evenings,
snow, rain, fog thats where the magic
comes from. McRory said.
Herman Silverman, co-founder of the
Michener museum, sensed that magic
in McRorys work. Almost five years ago,
Silverman, who is recently deceased,
gave McRory an award for best painting
in Pennsylvania Impressionist tradition,
and showcased several of his works at
the Silverman Gallery. This relationship
between McRory and the gallery has
thrived over the years.
I typically do one exhibit a year
with them, said McRory. Im so
thankful that they brought my work to
a larger audience. We have a wonderful

and typifies the joyous nature of
Kreischers comedic talent. But theres
more to the 44-year-old comic than this
raucous tale.
The Machine is a provider of smiles;
Im very a maestro in the art of joy. A seasoned

atypical, to say the least. Hes also

shirt. ear to the comedy ground.
BERT KREISCHER
The renowned party animals
energetic personality is undeniably
infectious, and its difficult not to
generate a big grin when on the
receiving end of one of his frenetic
rants. His contagious attitude can trace
its origins back to 1997, when Rolling
Stone hailed him as the greatest partier
at the number one party school, Florida
State University. So, its no surprise
that this published piece served as the
foundation for the gross-out comedy
National Lampoons Van Wilder.
I was written up in a magazine
that said I didnt take school seriously
and pissed away seven years of an
education, and that didnt make the job
market welcoming to me, Kreischer
says with a laugh. A lot of people were
telling me that I had ruined my life
with that article. It was a good idea
to get into stand up.
Soon after, a close friend of
Kreischers called and told him not to
go back to Tampa, and to move to New
York City and try his hand at stand-up.
Today, Kreischer is an experienced
comedy vet whos made a name for
himself by hosting television hosting
gigs like Bert the Conqueror and
Trip Flip on Travel Channel, and
late-night appearances on shows like
Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late
Show with David Letterman.
50 51
When it comes to his career,
sidestepping whats customary is
a principle for Kreischer.
Im very comfortable without
a shirt, he said. Kreischer famously
performs much of his stand-up sans top.
Sometimes I get sweat pits, and
Im so comfortable with my shirt off
its ridiculous.
The unorthodox Kreischer said that
while his comedic style has proved
successful, its also challenging.
The problem with stand-up is that
so many of us want to quickly adhere
to the norm. Kreischer supports a
kind of productivity that abandons the
emphasis on producing more, instead
of producing better.
Maybe dont fixate on the annual
comedy special, and write for two or
three years and really work on a show,
instead of turning out garbage, he said.
This shifts into the deeper issue
of the comedian deviating from their
natural material, and pursuing whats
attractive in the market. Kreischer
understands that comedy must be
honed into something that gets the
maximum amount of mileage out
of the entertainment.
The more you can stay true to
yourself and ignore what is going on
in the marketplace, like taking your
shirt off, the more original you are,
Kreischer observed.
Good advice coming from the
guy who parlayed party nature into
a lucrative career. | r
Kreischer will appear at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 24
