The Suburban and Tahoe are by far the best-selling models in their class, and they're tough rivals for the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada, among others. These two Chevy models are closely related in most ways--although there's a key difference: the Suburban is 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches longer overall than the Tahoe; and that results in a significantly larger third-row seat than in the Tahoe--as well as easier access to it, and more cargo space.
Compared to rival models, the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban still stand out for their good ride quality and efficient engines, and they handle surprisingly well considering their size and mass. They're also very rugged and versatile, and can be outfitted for off-road toughness, tow ability and interior luxury as needed.
Chevrolet claims that the Suburban will be the most fuel-efficient model in the full-size SUV class, thanks to its standout combination of fuel-saving technologies like direct injection and active fuel management (cylinder deactivation). Although the profile of the Suburban and Tahoe haven't changed all that much, Chevy has managed to make significant improvements to aerodynamics. Yet chiseled sheetmetal and big, flamboyant wheels (up to 22 inches) help maintain a powerful look.
Compare the 2016 Chevrolet Suburban against similar models
After a full redesign for 2015, the Tahoe and the Suburban remain mostly unchanged for 2016. Still, some additional refinement and features are offered this year. An enhanced Driver Alert Package is available that includes adjustable pedals, IntelliBeam headlamps and a Lane Keep Assist function. A heads-up display system is also new for 2016 and available on select models. New standard features include an 8-inch color touchscreen, which controls the radio and the OnStar system.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

The Chevy Suburban is the grandfather of all SUVs, about 80 years old. But it's a pretty cool grand-dad, because today it can do almost any athletic or high-tech thing imaginable for a car.
It has equipment galore, a luxurious cabin with three rows of seats, and capabilities that put it somewhere between a Land Rover and a school bus. It rides on a wheelbase that's 130 inches long, and measures 220 inches from bumper to bumper. In parking terms, that's more than 18 feet.
The Chevrolet Suburban's only equal is the extra-long Ford Expedition EL, which uses a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 making more power and torque than the Chevrolet V8, and with a higher tow rating of 9200 pounds, compared to the Suburban's 8300.
Despite its name (which goes back to the 1930s), the Suburban is no crossover. The Suburban is related to the Chevy Silverado pickup. It uses the truck's box frame and 5.3-liter V8 that makes 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, using a 6-speed automatic transmission. Even pulling the Suburban's weight of nearly three tons, the engine accelerates well for freeway on-ramps, mountain climbs, or two-lane passing. It may be big, but it can fly around small, slow cars. And it doesn't even suck that much gas when it does.
Chevrolet has developed that small-block V8 to an impressive place of efficiency. It was redesigned for 2015; now called EcoTe3, it got a new aluminum block, new aluminum cylinder heads, new crankshaft, new pistons, higher compression ratio, and direct fuel injection. While using only four cylinders at cruising times (the switch between eight and four is never felt), the Suburban is EPA-rated at 16 city/23 highway/18 combined mpg with two-wheel drive; with 4WD it gets one less mpg city and highway, but the same 18 mpg combined (go figure, government math).
Safety features include a standard rearview camera and seven airbags, including a front center airbag. Safety options include adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor, front parking sensor, rear cross traffic alert, and forward crash warning by vibrating the driver's seat. These things factor into the NHTSA test results, but still the Suburban only gets four stars overall.
The 2016 Chevrolet Suburban comes in LS, LT and LTZ models, all with a 5.3-liter V8 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, and fold-flat second- and third-row seats. The Suburban LS is well equipped, with trailer sway control and traction control in addition to stability control, although with cloth upholstery (and available front bench seat). The Suburban LT gets upgrades like a Bose audio system and MyLink infotainment. The Suburban LTZ gets adds foglamps, HID headlamps, LED running lights, power folding second and third rows, and 20-inch alloy wheels.
Four-wheel drive is a $3000 option.
The old Suburban was slab sided, and it showed. This latest Suburban is creased and pressed. The character line at the door handles especially gives the big SUV some dimension.
The Suburban is flexible, seating from seven to nine passengers with the optional front bench seat and second-row captain's chairs. It's hard to find fault with the interior, even with the standard cloth upholstery in the LS model.
It's just about the quietest ride in the class, with minimal wind and road noise. The engine is only audible when the driver stomps on the gas pedal, which opens valves in the intake and/or exhaust system, sending a pleasant V8 baritone to the cabin.
The curved console of the upscale interior is like a counterpoint to the angular exterior. There's an available eight-inch touchscreen with audio controls, and a head-up display with important data for the driver. If you want to stack on the features, there's a Blu-Ray DVD entertainment system and as many as six USB ports and six power outlets.
Throughout the cabin there is useful space for little things, a bunch of cupholders, and a center console that can hold a tablet or notebook computer. The rear seat folds flat, and allows good headroom and legroom. The wayback third row is livable for adults on a very short trip but best for kids.
The third row also folds flat for cargo, with power operation available, and there's an available cargo management system.
Given its giant wheelbase, its basketball-player height, and its scale-busting weight of nearly three tons, you can't expect it to handle quick and stop fast. Mass will always have its say in dynamic situations. But GM chassis engineers have done a great job with the suspension, working with spring rates and anti-roll bars. It helps that weight distribution is close to 50/50, front/rear. We could say that it leans in turns and lacks overall agility; or we could say that, for a huge SUV, it doesn't lean much in turns and is fairly agile. We will say that it recovers well during rapid transitions in switchback curves.
The electric power steering, a rack and pinion system, is a little numb yet effortless at any speed.
Like the Silverado, the Suburban uses leaf springs in the rear. The LTZ has optional Magnetic Ride Control, which uses magnetically charged fluid to change suspension damping and deliver a supple ride over rough roads, while improving control in turns.
The base ride is on the firm side, in order to achieve the good handling, but it's still sweet enough that the truck's occupants will only be bothered by the nasty bumps.
Braking is also strong, given the weight. The brake pedal feels firm and is easy to modulate, and the Suburban stops true. After a few hard stops there was no fade.
The seven-seat Suburban is smooth, quiet, comfortable, capable, powerful, efficient, handles and rides well, and can tow 8300 pounds. It's also more than 18 feet long. Its only competition is the Ford Expedition EL.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

SILVERWOOD LAKE -- San Bernardino County Fire and Crest Forest Fire Protection District personnel with help from the sheriff's department rescued a 70-year-old man who tumbled several feet down an embankement during a hike Tuesday evening, officials said.
Officials received a 9-1-1 call from two hikers stating the man had fallen while on the Pacific Crest Trail just west of Silverwood Lake, according to a fire department news release.
Rescuers used GPS to plot the cell phone call and to locate the hikers near the Rio Baranca Valley Campground.
A sheriff's deputy had already arrived at the location and attempted to hike the trail which spans from Mexico to Canada, in an effort to locate the injured hiker, officials said.
Rescuers eventually located the man who had fallen about 60 feet into heavy brush. He was not seriously injured, according to authorities.
The lack of light and the freezing temperatures prevented the man from making it back to the trail on his own, fire officials said.
The sheriff's helicopter flight crew was able to hoist the man from where he fell, according to the release. He was taken to a hospital as a precaution though authorities said he appeared to be in good physical condition.
Fire and sheriff's officials remind anyone planning on hiking in the mountains to always be prepared by carrying enough water and supplies in the event of an emergency. They also advise people dress in layers just in case they will have to spend the night in the cold.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah University will host Spring Thaw 2010, a theological education retreat for high school youth groups. Held April 16-18, 2010, the event combines theology sessions, music concerts and recreational activities to educate high school youth in their Christian faith.
High school youth groups will stay on Multnomah's campus for the weekend retreat. Attendees will get the full college experience, sleeping in the dorms and eating meals in the JCA cafeteria. Dr. Rob Hildebrand, Multnomah's Youth Ministry department chair and primary organizer of Spring Thaw 2010 plans to make Spring Thaw an annual event on Multnomah's campus.
Made possible by a grant from the Lily Foundation, Spring Thaw was planned by Dr. Hildebrand and his youth ministry students. Multnomah students - particularly youth ministry majors - will have a huge role in hosting this event, with more than 100 students doing everything from editing video to providing security and tech support, leading events and tournaments, decorating, and doing stand-up comedy. Youth ministry majors taking Spiritual Formation of Youth (YM 310) this semester will receive credit for this experiential learning experience.
· Faculty-led workshops
· Chapels with worship and guest speaker Kent Martins
· "Stump the Prof" theology Q&A
· Paintball
· Sports tournament
· The "Pink Mist Lounge"
· Original art exhibition
· The XBUS with 16 networked X-box 360s
· Mission Impossible 13 (wide game)
· Special music from nationally-known Christian artists Leeland and Phil Wickham
Cost and Registration
Because of the grant, Multnomah offers this retreat for $49 a student (one leader per five students may come for free). This offer is limited to 300 people. Youth leaders may secure multiple spots by submitting names and 50% payment for their group. To register, go to www.springthaw2010.com. All individual registration forms should be submitted by April 1, 2010.

"We believe Spring Thaw can be of great service to the kingdom of God," Dr. Rob Hildebrand said. "We hope the Lord will powerfully move through the teaching and worship times and that our retreaters will be encouraged spiritually by their encounters with Bible college students."
"Spring Thaw is also designed to be a service to local youth ministries. We hope to present a high-quality youth event at a very low cost, so that all youth groups, large or small, can have access to this type of event."
"Practical, 'hands on' ministry is tremendously beneficial to any student, and participating in this event will certainly assist Multnomah Youth Ministry students as they move into places of leadership within the local church and have opportunity to lead their own events one day."

Moman hits fifth home run of the season in lossFebruary 26, 2010
Tornados fall to Tusculum in series opener, 9-4
Greeneville, Tenn. - Kellen Moman connected on his fifth home run in the first six games of the 2010 season, but Tusculum pitcher Tyler Collins struck out 10 Tornados in six innings as Brevard fell in the first game of the weekend series to the Pioneers, 9-4.
Jacob White (0-2) took the loss for Brevard (0-6, 0-4 SAC), giving up seven earned runs in five innings, while striking out six. Tommy Yearty and Jacob Koontz finished the game with three innings of scoreless relief, combining for a pair of strikeouts in the loss.
Tusculum (6-6, 2-2 SAC) was led by Collins' (2-1) 10 strikeout performance on the mound, while Sean Finucane and Aaron Guinn each drove in a pair of RBIs for the Pioneers in the contest.
Rolondo Bonner opened up the scoring in the game for Tusculum in the bottom of the first, reaching base with a leadoff walk. A stolen base and a fly out in foul territory down the right field line put Bonner on third, where he scored on a wild pitch by White that skipped past Brevard catcher Matthew Ennis.
The Tornados evened the score in the top of the third as Ennis led off the inning with single to left field on a full count. A sacrifice by Eric Renegar pushed Ennis to second, where he scored two batters later as Stephen Mullis drove a double to right center, bringing the freshman catcher home.
Tusculum battled back, plating three in the third as Sean Cotton drove in Bonner and Finucane doubled home Cotton and Nate Grabowski to put the score at 4-1 with one out in the third. White buckled down to catch Payden Houser looking at strike three and Paul Finger went down swinging to end the inning.
Tusculum pushed across two more in the fourth as Guinn and Eric Barclay both touched home to put the score at 6-1, but Brevard was able to counter with a run of their own in the top of the fifth as Renegar placed a two-out double to left center with Kramer Clark placing a base hit to right center to score the freshman shortstop to cut the lead to 6-2.
The Pioneers added three more runs in the bottom half of the fifth to put the score at 9-2 with Guinn driving in Houser and Finucane before coming around to score himself on a passed ball.
The score would remain the same until the top of the eighth before Moman led off the inning with his fifth home run of the season, coming off of Blake Burnett to straightaway centerfield. Brevard loaded the bases with one out as Matthew Pruitt walked, Ron Patterson singled to center and M.A. Dozier was hit by a pitch, bringing in relief pitcher Ty Collins. Renegar was able to bring Pruitt home by reaching on a fielding error by the Tusculum second baseman, but Collins was able to escape the inning, inducing a grounder by Clark to end the Tornados last scoring threat.
The Tornados and Pioneers complete the three-game set with a doubleheader scheduled for tomorrow in Greeneville, Tenn., with first pitch at Pioneer Park scheduled for 1 p.m.

TONY Smith was pretty pleased with Warrington Wolves' 14-8 victory over The Salford Red Devils at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.
In Wolves' final pre-season friendly before their Super League opener against St Helens a week tomorrow, Thursday, the hosts breezed to a 14-0 lead thanks to tries from Joel Monaghan, Ben Westwood and Chris Riley before being pegged back by a spirited Salford comeback.
The match, played in atrocious conditions, was a mixed bag for both sides, but there were plenty of positives for Smith to take from the hit-out.
"It was a good exercise for us," he said.
"I thought we were terrific that first half, really good.
"We had great control and played a pretty sensible first 40 minutes.
"The second half was a bit of a contrast, we lacked a bit of control and we weren't quite as disciplined.
"So it was a good exercise for us and we will be able to compare the two halves and look at which way we would prefer to play.
"But the conditions were tough out there and it got worse as the night went on, so you can understand it being a difficult match for us to control the whole way through."
Salford barely breached Wolves' 20-metre line in a dominant opening stanza from the hosts, though Wolves started to unravel slightly when Rangi Chase scooped up a loose ball and produced an excellent set-up for Francis Meli to cut Wolves' lead before the break.
A fine kick from Tim Smith then sent Greg Johnson over for the second half's only try, but despite conceding twice Smith was overall extremely pleased with his side's work at the back.
"I was happy with our defence, though there were a couple of lapses that we weren't quite in control of," he said.
"We conceded a zero tackle try, one of those when everyone stops and someone keeps moving with it and a second from a very nice kick for the winger.
"So in terms of breaking us down and going through us I was fairly pleased that we didn't have too much of that.
"We were pretty solid, so that was a good sign."
Stefan Ratchford was the game's only casualty after coming off in the first half, but Smith expects only Matty Russell, Paul Wood and Ben Harrison to be unavailable for the visit of Saints in round one.
"Stefan had a tweak on his ankle, but he'll be fine for next week," he said.
"It just wasn't worth the risk of putting back out there when he had tweaked it.
"But other than that, no we're pretty good.
"I'll tell you now, that unless I'm desperate and I am not that at all, Matty Russell won't be playing without having a run-out somewhere first.
"He won't be coming into the team to play the first round of the competition."
Home debutants Roy Asotasi and Anthony England were both fairly quiet in their first showing at The Halliwell Jones Stadium, though this was not a night for inspiring performances from either side.
Ben Westwood was handed man of the match by the game's sponsors, a choice that Smith found difficult to argue with.
"I thought Ben Currie got through a lot of work, his defence was a big improvement, but it is hard to look past Super Bennie, he was pretty good as well," he added.

Current Research and Interests
My research is in the area of nonstandard analysis, which could be described as a method for applying concepts from logic to other branches of mathematics. I have published several papers in which this method is used to obtain results in such areas as combinatorial number theory and geometric topology. I am also interested in methods of teaching mathematics, and have given a number of talks about calculus reform, writing in mathematics classes and ways to enrich the mathematical curriculum at the elementary and middle school levels, and have worked with teachers in the Adams 14 district in a professional development setting. I would be happy to discuss any of these issues, mathematical or educational, with anyone who is interested.

Lower volumes of California and Italian kiwifruit are driving strong demand.
About 7.2 million trays of California kiwifruit are expected to ship this season, 2 million fewer than last season, said Nick Matteis, assistant manager of the Sacramento, Calif.-based Kiwifruit Administrative Committee.
Lighter supplies from both California and Italy — early projections of Italy's crop being 22% lighter have mostly held true, Matteis said — have generated strong demand this season, which Matteis doesn't see diminishing for the duration of the deal.
"The only thing remotely negative this season is that growers wish they had more fruit," he said. "Demand is good, and prices are good."
Hail damage last spring centered around Traver, Calif., put an early end to the California deal for Cal Harvest, the marketing arm of Fagundes Agribusiness, Hanford, Calif., said John Fagundes, president.
Cal Harvest finished at the end of January, two months earlier than usual, Fagundes said.
Supplies industry-wide, however, were right where they should be for the end of January, with about 45% still in storage as of Jan. 28, Fagundes said. Supplies should be plentiful, he said, until Chilean product begins arriving in April.
Madera, Calif.-based Western Fresh Marketing expects to complement its California deal in February and March with Italian product, said Chris Kragie, deciduous fruit manager.
"Volumes are really down, and it's driven up the price swiftly and sharply," Kragie said.
Western Fresh expects to have California kiwifruit until it begins importing Chilean fruit, about March 18-22, he said.
Fagundes agreed with Matteis that demand should remain strong for the remainder of the California deal. The industry got a boost, he said, when TV host Dr. Oz talked about the energy, anti-oxidant and other benefits of kiwifruit on his show earlier in January, Fagundes said.
"From what I've heard, there's been a pickup at the store level" because of the show, he said.
On Jan. 29, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $16.25-16.50 for 19.8 pound cartons of hayward 27s from California, up from $11.10-12.10 last year at the same time.
While Italy's volumes are lower than last season, the high prices in the U.S. were luring more Italian product into the U.S. in late January, Fagundes said.
Things got off to a good start at the beginning of the season, as Chile and New Zealand both wrapped up their deals in a timely manner, Matteis said.
"There wasn't much in the way of lingering inventories," he said.
Through Jan. 28, growers were reporting that quality was good and that storage supplies were holding up well, Matteis said.

Here's another secret of successful genealogists: They're organized. You won't get far if you can't find your research notebook and charts!
Of course, getting—and keeping—your research in order is a challenge for even the tidiest family historian. So, in the April 2002 issue of Family Tree Magazine, we kicked off a contest to help paper-plagued genealogists. Readers were invited to send tales and photos of their family history-filing disasters—the three most convincing would win some much-needed expert organizational assistance.

WASHINGTON -- Vending companies that qualify as small businesses under the Internal Revenue Service code may be entitled to a tax credit or deduction, if they have upgraded their equipment to comply with the new Americans with Disabilities Act rules.
According to a legislative bulletin from the National Automatic Merchandising Association, the Internal Revenue Service Code includes a Disabled Access Credit (Section 44) for businesses with 30 or fewer full-time employees or with total revenues of $1 million or less during the previous tax year. The credit is meant to help small businesses comply with the new rules.
The new regulations, which went into effect on March 15, 2012, change the reach range requirements for vending machines to no higher than 48", instead of 54", and no lower than 15", instead of 9". Side-reach and other accessibility requirements have also been revised. | SEE STORY
NAMA reports that some small businesses may qualify for a tax credit or deduction "for eligible access expenditures including amounts paid or incurred to acquire or modify equipment or devices for individuals with disabilities."

Four teens team up to form the Modern Jewish Quartet at Settlement Music School and take their show on the road — often to benefit the community.
Mitzvah Heroes: Meet the MJQ. Not the influential Modern Jazz Quartet of the 1950s, but rather the "Modern Jewish Quartet": Ethan and Joshua Fisher; Jonathan Elbaz; and Matt Altman, all 17-year-old students at Settlement Music School's Mary Louise Curtis Branch in South Philly www.smsmusic.org.
What It's All About: Officially known as the Advanced Study Jazz Ensemble, the quartet has just been named the winner of Downbeat Magazine's 36th annual Student Music Award for "Outstanding Performance." They are outstanding Mitzvah Heroes as well, taking time to educate others about their musical medium and giving back without asking for pats-on-the back or payment.
Jonathan Elbaz, a senior at Princeton High School in New Jersey, has served as a music mentor for local elementary schools and performed in senior residences. This fall, he takes his act, education and mitzvah heroism on the road as he attends the New England Conservatory.
Wynnewood wunderkind Matt Altman, a member of Har Zion Temple, helps others at Harriton High, where he is a student when not at Settlement. Matt says he and another student "were instrumental in the observance of Yom Hashoah in our school. We have a display case set up for the months of March and April as a way to remember, and we also brought survivors to our school to talk about their experience during the Holocaust."
He is also now interning at Settlement in the Kaleidescope Program, "helping out the music teacher in teaching kids basic things such as simple body percussion rhythms and some basic rhythms on the bongos and congas," says the soon-to-be Berklee College of Music student, who plans to major in jazz performance.
Twins Joshua and Ethan attend Council Rock North in Newtown and Shir Ami, a Reform congregation in Newtown. The duo also takes part in the Kimmel Center Creative Music Program, which focuses on jazz education. Closer to home — and the bimah — the twins team with Cantor Mark Elson and choir accompanist Eric Schnitzer to make music at Shir Ami. In that quartet, Ethan plays vibraphone; Joshua, upright bass.
Good for Them: All the heroes here sing nothing but praise for Settlement and quartet coach Tony Miceli, who is not Jewish but came up with the MJQ assignation in deference to the legendary group they all admire. In addition to topnotch training, the students credit Settlement for gently pushing them to get active in community concerts — reasons they're not just getting a great musical education but a communal and inspirational one as well.
