From Courier-Post By Carol Comego<BR> Carl Lewis delights local school kids with Aesop's Fable <BR><BR> More than 3,000 children joined Olympic track gold medalist and Burlington County native Carl Lewis for a race between a tortoise and a hare here Friday. <BR><BR> Lewis didn't run in this race. <BR><BR> Instead, he portrayed both the turtle and the rabbit while expressively narrating the age old Aesop's Fable to orchestral music, delighting an audience of school children who in many cases were enjoying a live orchestra for the first time. <BR><BR> The production promoted music education and was a collaboration between the Haddonfield Symphony Orchestra, the New Jersey State Aquarium in Camden, and sponsor Lockheed Martin Technology Services. <BR><BR> "I liked when he was telling the story and they (the orchestra) had the same sound," said Megan Lovett, 9, a fourth grader at St. Cecilia's School in Pennsauken, after listening to the program at the South Jersey Performing Arts Center, located at the Blockbuster-Sony Music Entertainment Centre on the Delaware River waterfront <BR><BR> She was referring to the quick notes of the clarinet, which musically portrayed the hoppity hare and contrabassoon, with deep and slow groans that imitated the sluggishness of the tortoise. <BR><BR> This was the world premiere of a new work, Tortoise and the Hare by the Haddonfield Symphony's composer-in-residence, Daniel Dorff. <BR><BR> "I had fun doing this with great music behind you and these wonderful kids' smiles in front of you," said Lewis, whose nine Olympic gold medals have earned him the distinction as the most successful athlete in the history of track and field. <BR><BR> Lewis said he is trying to stay involved with children and believes this gives them an opportunity to understand and appreciate the more classical variety of music. <BR><BR> "This concert offers kids choices. For some kids, hearing this music will change their lives. I am really excited about this program and hope it can go to other cities," said Lewis, 36, who took acting courses in college and who used to play cello as a child in Willingboro. <BR><BR> In another gesture to youth, he said he is donating 500 copies of his book One More Victory Lap to school libraries in the Camden-Burlington area. <BR><BR> Lewis' appearance in Camden was the continuation of a visit that included a stop at his alma mater, Willingboro High School, on Thursday. Lewis was there for the dedication of a mural portraying his gold medal-winning long jump in the 1996 Summer Olympics.
