arberth Community Theatre is
proud to present the Rodgers
& Hammerstei n musi cal ,
Carousel. March 12, 13, 14,
19, 20, 21, 26 & 27. Fridays
and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sun-
days at 2 p.m. Tickets are: $17 (adults);

Narberth’s 50th anniversary season con-
tinues with a world-renowned musical fav-
orite. Director Paul Recupero, Music Direc-
tor Steve Arcidiacono, and Choreographer
Kenneth Fisher are thrilled
to raise the curtain on this
new vision of an acclaimed
classic. With powerful vocals
and intricate dancing sur-
rounding a touching plot
concerning love and loss,
Narberth’s production of
Carousel is sure to delight
audiences of all ages.
Selected by Time magazine
as “The Greatest Musical of
the 20th Century,” Carousel
relates the story of an un-
likely romance between the
handsome, hard-nosed car-
ousel barker, Billy Bigelow,
and the reserved but bold
mill worker, Julie Jordan,
against the harsh backdrop
of New England in the midst
of the Industrial Revolution.
After a passionate first en-
counter, the two quickly be-
come married, although nei-
ther can muster the courage
to even say “I love you.” The
marriage hits rough waters
from the beginning. Billy can-
not hold down a job, mooches
off Julie’s cousin, hangs out
with local lowlifes and, on
occasion, acts out violently.
But when a sudden announce-
ment presents an opportunity
for redemption, Billy must decide whether
to engage in one last dirty deed in order to
start his life with Julie anew. Filled with
laughs and tears, Carousel has touched the
hearts of audiences for over sixty years. With
its tender duets (“If I Loved You”), rousing
dance numbers (“June is Bustin’ Out All
Over”), and inspirational ballads (“You’ll
Never Walk Alone”), it is easy to under-
stand why Carousel often is touted as Rodgers
& Hammerstein’s finest musical score.

Eileen Sutton, of Havertown, will be one of 74 of the nation’s
top artists displaying their work at the 26th Annual German-
town Friends School Juried Craft Show March 5, 6 and 7.
Havertown Artist Earns
Coveted Spot in GFS
Craft Show
One of 74 artists from across the country, Eileen Sutton
will sell her jewelry at the event March 5, 6, 7
E
ileen Sutton knew the first time she pierced a piece of
copper that jewelry was her calling. She has always
been drawn to metals, at first using them individually,
then exploring the added interest of mixed metals. She
diverged from being a metal purist when she discovered
epoxy resins in her last semester at Tyler School of Art,
and the elegant balance of the metal married to the color
and texture of those resins has become a signature of her
work. Now the Havertown artist is enjoying a new evolu-
tion: carving those resins to reveal inviting negative spaces,
or layering color within color. Sutton will be one of 74 of the
nation’s top artists displaying their work at the 26th Annual
Germantown Friends School Juried Craft Show March 5, 6
and 7.
Starting with silver or gold or bronze, Sutton hand fabri-
cates metal forms that become bracelets, pendants and
earrings. She then incorporates epoxy resins into the shapes.
The epoxy allows color
to pour to the limits of
the metals. Her palette
is largely earthy and
rich, with mossy greens,
ochres, garnet-hues
and putty shades pre-
dominating. A new
line of black and white
pieces has intrigued
not only Sutton, but
her customers as well.
“People are really
responding to these
pieces, and I believe it
might be because in
our complicated world,
people are looking for
simplicity. Black and
white is as simple as it
gets!”
Lately Sutton has
taken to carving some
of the resins. “Interest-
ingly,” she explains,
“the carving has inspired me to get back to some of the
geometric forms that I had left behind and am now re-
exploring.” Other shapes are more organic, inspired by the
garden she tends with her two children and the flora she
can enjoy from the windows of her newly built studio.
Sutton will be one of 74 of the nation’s top craft artists
displaying their work at the Germantown Friends School

D
uring tough economic times, maximizing tax returns and saving money on assistance
in filing taxes can make a big difference. Beginning Wednesday, Feb. 3, certified student
volunteers from Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business will assist in the prepara-
tion of tax returns at no cost to citizens filing returns with incomes of $49,000 or less who
do not plan to itemize deductions. This service will be offered on Wednesday evenings
from 6 - 8 p.m. and Thursday afternoons from 1 - 5 p.m. through April 15 in the Pearl-
stein Business Learning Center at 32nd and Market streets.
This program is offered through a partnership with the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assis-
tance (VITA) program, which trains and certifies these student volunteers for income tax
preparation, enabling them to maximize returns for the
individuals they are assisting. In order to become IRS-certi-
fied tax preparers, volunteers were required to score 80
percent or higher on an IRS test of their tax knowledge.
“As a partner of the Philadelphia community, LeBow
College is pleased to provide this service to the surround-
ing community free of charge,” said George P. Tsetsekos,
Ph.D, dean of Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business.
Glenn Rollins, a senior stakeholder relationship tax con-
sultant, with the IRS, said “We are proud to join with the
students at LeBow College to offer complimentary tax
assistance to residents of Philadelphia. These student tax
preparers will be well-prepared to help people file various
types of returns accurately and on time.”
Free income tax preparation is available by appointment
only. For appointments, call 215-895-0436.
U
nique and diverse volunteer op-
portunities are currently avail-
able in the Philadelphia region with
the Animal Welfare Project (AWP), a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The
group is inviting the public to attend
its “Volunteer Initiation Day,” on Sun-
day, March 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. The
hosting location is ADT Advanced
Integration, 2450 Blvd. of the Generals,
Norristown, PA 19403. Registration is
required.
Still in the early stages of develop-
ment, AWP is looking to cultivate
lasting relationships with talented,
dedicated individuals. It is a wonder-
ful opportunity to develop your own
skills in such areas as Grant Writing,
Event Production, Marketing, and
Public Relations—as well as to help
animals in desperate need. Available
positions are nearly limitless, ranging
from Office Assistants to a Director
of Development. Whatever your pas-
sion, background or skill level—
there’s an opportunity for you!
At the event, participants will get an overview of the
organization’s work with homeless
animals. AWP’s mission is to create
a professional training center for
homeless horses and dogs, so they
can be adopted as pets or competi-
tion animals, or work in community
service.
Volunteers will also have the chance
to meet several animals available for
adoption. You also can interact with
AWP mascots “Windsor,” a Belgian
Warmblood horse who is scheduled
to eventually respond to calls for
Mounted Search and Rescue, plus
“Ike,” a Therapy and Service Dog.
AWP is presently utilizing a barn in
the Pottstown area as its temporary
training center. Use of the facility
was donated to the organization
until they find a permanent farm.
Volunteers will be invited to tour the
barn at the end of the event.

W
hen Desmond (Des) McLean – whose ‘Strata’ paintings
are next up at the Villanova University Art Gallery –
was an aspiring young artist in the 1940s, 60 percent of all
Americans went to the movies every week, the most envied
family on the block was the one with the television set,
and the digital revolution was on the far horizon.
Today, only 10 percent of the population shares the week-
ly movie-going experience, nearly all Americans have their
entertainment home-delivered via the 2.5 television sets
that are in today’s average American home, and non-realis-
tic art has fallen victim to the ‘eye candy’ of digital devices,
laments McLean, an unrepentant abstractionist.
“We are an entertainment-centered culture hooked on
celebrity. Illiteracy is on the rise – it is currently estimated
to exceed 30 percent of the population – and critical think-
ing is on the run. We are flooded with the ‘eye and ear candy’
of television, digital photography, cyber games, Internet
tweeting/IM-ing, cell phone ubiquity, comic book-based
movies, MTV, incessant iPod music, all of which further
alienates the possibility of fine arts,” notes the transplant-
ed New Yorker, now a South Jersey resident.
That doesn’t keep the re-
tired Rowan University art
professor from stubbornly exhibiting his art. His most recent work, the mixed-media
paintings of his ‘Strata’ series, may be viewed at his solo exhibition, “Easelfumes,” that
opened Friday, February 26, in Villanova University’s Art Gallery.
A reception to meet the artist will take place Friday, March 12, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the
art gallery, which is located in the Connelly Center on the Villanova campus. Refreshments
will be served. Gallery exhibits and receptions are free and open to the public. The exhibit
continues to April 8.
In McLean’s current Strata paintings, images are layered in parallel, top to bottom. As
but one part of the whole, each image, “presents the viewer with the opportunity to pon-
der a heightened reality when the whole is considered.”
Widely read and analytical, McLean does not attempt to explain or define his art. Since
intuition plays such a large part in his modus operandi, he notes, his take on his own art
would alienate the viewer’s own experience.
“I proceed according to the epiphanies my psyche presents in the process of creating a
work. It is those epiphanies that delight me, provide a constant fuel and a driving search
for further awakenings,” he says.
In McLean’s view, the modern period of art is ‘old hat.’ “Painting doesn’t merely
compete with photography today; the glut of media selling us, amusing us, and dazing
us leaves an insignificant fragment of ‘information space’ for fine art’s visual language,”
he says.
McLean mixes images from mass culture, art, history, myth, advertising, and scientific
issues. His mediums include pastel, acrylic paints, watercolors, inks, computer graphics,
collage, encaustic, digital photography, and stenciling. He employs repetition to extend
the confines of the format.
McLean’s artistic journeys over the years have taken him from photographic realism (He
studied film at the City College of New York.) to Abstract Expressionism. At Hunter College,
he studied with leaders in the Abstract Expressionist movement, including Robert Mother-
well, Richard Lippold, William Baziotes, and the printmaker, Gabor Peterdi. He was in-
tensely impressed by Allan Kaprow, who sought to integrate art and life through his
‘Happenings’ performance art; and pop art sculptor George Segal. Both artists worked and
lived near McLean’s solar-oriented home and World War II Quonset studio in New Bruns-
wick, NJ.
Born in Ireland, McLean grew up in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. After a brief stint in the U. S.
Navy, he attended The Heatherly School of Art in London, England; and the American
School of Art in New York. He earned his bachelor’s degree at Keane College, NJ, and was
awarded a teaching fellowship at the University of Chicago, where he was enrolled in the
doctoral program.
Concerned by the data that reveals that less than one percent of the U. S. population
currently shows a serious interest in the development or progress of contemporary paint-
ing, McLean finds little reassurance in what he sees lying ahead:
“The digital revolution is not nearly finished. It promises a seemingly endless supply of
gadgets permitting entertainment, communication and information. The great majority of
Americans are satisfied with realist, decorative and nostalgic visuals which do not test
the viewer. Meanwhile, aesthetic problems and debate are obscured by sports, celebrity
and the shallow entertainments flooding mass culture.”
McLean retired from Rowan University’s Art Department in 2002, where he had taught
for more than 35 years.
The Villanova University Art Gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For week-
end and extended hours, and information, contact the Art Gallery at 610-519-4612. Select-
ed works for the McLean exhibit may be previewed on the gallery’s website at www.art-
gallery.villanova.edu.

he America-Italy Society of Philadelphia will present a

harpsichordist Davyd Booth and bassist-gambist Michael
Shahan. All of the musicians are members of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra.
It is with special pleasure that the America-Italy Society

certs.

great Italian Baroque music that is a vital part of Italy’s
cultural heritage.

presents a year-round variety of educational and cultural

he Arc of Philadelphia and Philadelphia Developmental
Disabilities Corporation (PDDC) will host the third
annual Art Exhibition with an Opening Reception on
Thursday, March 11, 2010, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at
Philadelphia City Hall, Fifth Floor.
Artists with developmental disabilities from the Cultural
Arts Center at PDDC will showcase their paintings, draw-
ings, water colors, and ceramics. All the works are for sale.
March is national Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month, and the Art Exhibition is one of the many events
which the ARC/PDDC has planned in its observance. The
art work on the invitation is a painting by George Waddell,
a program participant of PDDC.
The Jeff Torchon Jazz Trio will perform, and there will
be refreshments. Students from the University of Georgia
who chose to do volunteer service at the ARC/PDDC for
the week of Alternative Spring Break will serve as greeters
and wait-staff.
Laura Princiotta, COO of PDDC, and Linda Price, associ-
ate director of the Cultural Arts Center at PDDC, said the
public is invited to view the exhibition from March 12
through early May.
For information, call 215-229-4550 ext. 172.
Craft Show. Despite an economy that is still shaky, the 2010 show saw a 10% rise in appli-
cation. “We weren’t quite sure what to expect this year,” says Jennifer Celata, Manager of
the event. “Last year we saw a tremendous rise in applicants and thought we may have
hit our peak. But we were thrilled to receive 330 applications this year, up 10% from last
year. I think it’s a real testament to this gem of a show’s national reputation.” The 74 art-
ists are coming to the GFS campus at Germantown Avenue and Coulter Streets from 21
states coast to coast, and represent some of the finest craft artists in the United States.
Thirty are exhibiting at the GFS show for the first time.
The show takes place in two gyms on the school’s campus in historic Germantown.
Three local restaurateurs will serve their signature dishes in the Café des Artistes, open
Saturday and Sunday during show hours. A Preview on Friday evening will offer a first
look at the artists’ offerings as well as a silent auction of hand-crafted works donated by
the exhibitors. Students will entertain and light refreshments will be served by Charles
Roman Catering.
Proceeds of the event benefit community scholarship
and general scholarship programs at Germantown Friends
School. Since 1985, more than $1,050,000 has been raised,
and close to $600,000 has been given to the Community
Scholars Program, which supports qualified students from
the community, and the General Scholarship Fund. A por-
tion of the proceeds is also earmarked for special projects
for the school.
The GFS Craft Show is located at Germantown Friends
School, 31 West Coulter Street, in the Germantown section
of Philadelphia. Hours are: Friday, March 5, 6 - 9 p.m.; Sat-
urday, March 6, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sunday, March 7, noon
to 5 p.m. Admission is $8 per adult, $3 per student. Admis-
sion for the Preview is $35, good for the entire weekend.
Parking is free. Call 215-301-4711 or visit www.germantown-
friends.org/craftshow for information.

the ability to change students’ lives. This school takes
young people who are bright and able, but challenged by
learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADD, and

Dr. Kahn.
Dr. Kahn brings to his new role many decades of educa-
tional experience in a broad range of settings, including
his current position as Head of the Tucson Hebrew Academy
in Tucson, Arizona. He was the Assistant Head and Interim
Head at the Windward School in White Plains, New York
from 2000 to 2006 – a coed, independent school for students
in grades 1-9 with language-based learning differences. Dr.
Kahn has been Head of two other independent schools –
the Donna Klein Jewish Academy in Boca Raton, Florida,
and the Bernard Zell Ashe Day School in Chicago, Illinois.
He was also Executive Director of the New Jersey Associa-
tion of Independent Schools and Director of the Metropoli-
tan Boys and Girls Club Foundation in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Our previous and interim leadership have placed Dela-
ware Valley Friends in a great position to fulfill our mission
of successfully educating students with learning differences,
and Dan has the vision to lead us to the next level,” com-
mented Beth Krick, Clerk of the Board of Trustees. “His
background and understanding of language-based learning
differences at all grade levels, his passion for the classroom
and continuous learning, and his kind manner and wonder-
ful sense of humor will serve him and our school very well.”
“Daniel fulfilled all of our must-have requirements,” add-
ed George Vosburgh, Clerk of the Search Committee. “He
is a proven leader of independent schools, he knows the
research and best education practices related to learning
differences, and he demonstrates the ability to engage
successfully with all members of our school community.”
Dr. Kahn plans to continue and build upon the School’s
tradition of research-based, multi-sensory approaches to
learning, combining the latest brain research and teaching
techniques with innovative classroom technology to help
students reach their highest potential.
Delaware Valley Friends School is a coed, independent,
college preparatory school located in suburban Philadelphia
that prepares students in grades 6 through 12 with language-
based learning differences to succeed in college and in life.

Delaware Valley Friends Announces New Head of School
Delaware Valley Friends School welcomes Dr. Daniel Kahn as the next Head of School beginning July 1, 2010.
and his wife, Lynne, herself a Temple alumna, have gener-
ously supported the Temple loan repayment assistance
program, which helps law school graduates repay student
loans while they work in law-related public interest jobs.
The program was renamed the Barrack Public Interest
Fellowship Program in 1994. The couple’s steadfast sup-
port of the law school has significantly expanded funding
for faculty scholarship and research.
Their gifts were also an opportunity to pay respect to and
honor Leonard Barrack’s parents, Morris and Sylvia Barrack,
who instilled in their son the values of education, hard work
and the obligation to give back to the community. The
elder Barracks’ legacy lives on through Morris and Sylvia
Barrack Hall, the newly renovated hub, which contains law
school classrooms, student and alumni lounges and space
for student organizations and public interest programs.
Their commitment to Jewish education and philanthropy
is reflected in the projects supported by the Barrack Family
Foundation, which include the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew
Academy, formerly known as Akiba Hebrew Academy. The
school, which Barrack attended, was
renamed in memory of Leonard Bar-
rack’s brother, who died, along with
his father, in a plane crash. The Barrack Foundation gift,
administered by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadel-
phia, which Leonard Barrack serves as president, supports
scholarship assistance and faculty enhancement programs.
“I am forever grateful that Temple provided me with a
quality education at an affordable price,” Barrack said. After
majoring in accounting and earning a bachelor’s degree in
business administration, Barrack studied at Temple Law
School.
The 2010 Alumni Award honoree attributes his success
not only to the knowledge he gained at Temple, but also to
what the University taught him regarding a useful approach
to life. “My entire work ethic was developed at Temple,”
said Barrack, who joined the board in 2001. “Temple peo-
ple hustle. They work, they learn, they get things accom-
plished. They know where they want to go and what they
have to do to get there.”

evon Prep’s senior point guard Jeffrey Hughes of New-
town Square has been pretty busy recently making
school history on the basketball court.
A few weeks ago he set a school record for career three
pointers with 131 and Tuesday (Feb. 16) night he became
just the fifth player in Devon Prep history to record 1000
points. He is the first Devon Prep player since 1996 to reach
1000.
He was also named the Bicentennial Athletic League’s
(BAL) Independence Division 2009-10 Boys Basketball
Player of the Year for the second year in a row. In addition,
he was named to the BAL Independence Division All League
Boys Basketball First Team along with fellow teammate Jun-
ior Duncan Becker. Senior Matt Purcell received an honor-
able mention.
In 2009 Hughes was named Tournament MVP in the
Springfield Montco Holiday Tournament and he was also
named to the 2009 All Main Line Boys Basketball First Team.
Hughes has averaged 20.2 points per game and 8 assists.
According to Coach Bill Frio, he has had a great career as
the TIDE’s wingman. “Not only can he shoot the three, but
he can drive to the basket really well,” said Frio. “And he
doesn’t just score. The best thing about his game is that
he passes the ball. When you have a point guard who can
pass and score it makes for a great team.”
Hughes’ hot shooting has helped the TIDE record a 16-4
season overall and 9-2 in the league.
Scoring the 1000th point not only made school history,
but it made Hughes himself, pretty happy as well. “Every-
one that comes in the gym sees the 1000th point banner
hanging up,” he said. “To be up there is going to be really
cool.”
In addition to playing basketball for the past four years,
Hughes was co-captain of the JV Golf Team for two years,
serves as member of the Devon Prep Key Club, and is on
the Honor Roll.
Devon Prep is a private, Catholic, college preparatory
school conducted by the Piarist Fathers for young men in
grades six through 12. The school, which enrolls nearly
300 students, is located on a 20-acre campus on North
Valley Forge Road on Philadelphia’s Main Line in Devon.

F
ive Palmer Theological Seminary students devoted a
week of their recent semester break to helping victims
of Hurricane Katrina, who, five years later, are still in the
process of rebuilding their homes and their lives. Students
Marquita Bell, Bob Gross, Genikwa Williams, Enoh Francis,
and Wendy Simcoe worked to refurbish houses in the New
Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward, which was one of the city’s hard-
est hit areas and has been one of the slowest to recover.
The trip was sponsored by the National Ministries division
of the Valley Forge-based American Baptist Churches.
Among the chores assigned to the PTS group were paint-
ing, removing water-damaged wood, and replacing old sid-
ing with new. PTS admissions officer Alexander Houston,
who accompanied the students, spent the whole week work-
ing on the house of a man who’s been living in a FEMA
trailer for the past five years, since Katrina. “You could
see areas where a lot has been done,” said Houston. “But
you could also see that there’s a lot more to do.”
The Palmer contingent stayed at Camp Restore, a place
for volunteer workers sponsored by the Lutheran Church.
Said Houston, “Our students were glad for the opportunity
to put their faith and their learning into action. Seminary
is not just about academic knowledge. It’s about service,
too.”
According to Houston, the people among whom the group
worked showed a special sensitivity for victims of the
earthquake in Haiti: “No one can feel more for the people
of Haiti than the people of New Orleans,” said Houston,
adding that, though the road has been long and the end is
far from sight, “people still cling to their faith that God will
see them through.”

“T
eaching Reading IS Rocket Science.” This quote is still
as relevant today as it was over 10 years ago when Dr.
Louisa Moats wrote an article regarding the complexity of
the reading process and the responsibility of insuring that
all educators step up to the challenge of preparing to teach
this most important academic skill for children.
The Academy In Manayunk (AIM) sent eight members of its fac-
ulty and staff to the 2010 LETRS Summit hosted by Louisa Moats.
This three-day conference convened the top researchers and
trainers in the field of reading to present the latest findings to the
question of how children learn to read, and the best research-
based strategies for teaching reading, spelling and writing.
LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and
Spelling) is a professional development program developed by
Dr. Louisa Moats to help teachers from grades K-12 understand
the language structures they are teaching, how students learn
to read and write, and the key reasons why some children fail
to learn. LETRS helps teachers gain in-depth, useful instruction-
al information that complements their everyday teaching prac-
tices. It is not a “reading program,” nor is it a replacement for
core reading programs; rather, it is designed to bring deeper
insight and knowledge to reading instruction, provide answers
that instructional materials cannot, and allow teachers to
reach, through explicit, scientifically-based methods, students
who might otherwise fail.
The research on reading continues to come out of our univer-
sities at a tremendous pace. The challenge is how to speed the
process of research to practice in our schools. The mission of
the Academy In Manayunk is to serve as both an implementa-
tion site and training organization to transfer this knowledge to
educators in the Greater Philadelphia region. For information
on upcoming LETRS and other professional development offer-
ings, visit the AIM website at www.aimpa.org. Dr. Louisa Moats
will also be the keynote speaker at the PA Branch of the Inter-
national Dyslexia Association Conference hosted by the
Academy In Manayunk on October 8, 2010.
“Using LETRS as a common language for the entire school pro-
vides a framework that allows teachers, regardless of subject, to
make connections in literacy development across the curricu-
lum,” stated Carrie Shankweiler, Head of AIM Upper School.
The Academy In Manayunk (AIM), which opened its doors at
169 Conarroe Street in 2006 as a resource for students, families
and educators in the field of learning disabilities, expanded to a
second building in Manayunk in February 2009 at 119 Rector
Street. In addition to the Grades 1-5 Lower School, the Rector
Street building is now the Upper School of the Academy—cur-
rently grades 6-10 but will grow one grade a year until it has a
complete high school through 12th grade. The Academy
In Manayunk is modeled after The Lab School of Washington
®
and its approach is to take the latest research in teaching
children with learning disabilities such as dyslexia and put it
into practice. After just three years, AIM’s enrollment has
more than tripled—now at 120 students. For information call
215-483-aim1 or visit www.aimpa.org.

A
recent study in 2008, conducted by AMD Alliance Inter-
national, found more than half of respondents had nei-
ther heard of AMD or know little about it. This is an aston-
ishing result as AMD is the leading cause of severe vision
loss in people over the age of 60 and roughly affects 2 mil-
lion Americans.
AMD occurs when the small central portion of the retina,
known as the macula, deteriorates. This disease, primari-
ly associated with aging, gradually destroys sharp central
vision needed for seeing objects clearly, and for common
daily tasks, such as reading and driving. In some cases,
AMD advances so slowly and without pain that people
notice little changes. In others, the disease can progress
much faster and lead to loss of vision.
Two main types of AMD
Dry Form – Most patients with AMD have this type. Dry
form is characterized by the presence of yellow deposits,
called drusen, in the macula. Generally, drusen does not
cause changes in vision, but as they grow in size, and
increase in number, they may lead to a dimming or distor-
tion of vision, most noticeable when reading. In more ad-
vanced stages, there is a thinning of the light-sensitive layer
of cells, leading to tissue death. This may lead to blind
spots in the center of a patient’s vision or loss of central
vision all together.
Wet Form – Although roughly 10% of people with AMD
develop Wet Form, they make up the majority of people
who experience serious vision loss from this disease. The
Wet Form is characterized by the growth of abnormal blood
vessels underneath the macula. These blood vessels leak
blood and fluid into the retina, causing distortion of vision
that makes straight lines look wavy, as well as, blind spots
and loss of central vision.
Know the Risk Factors and Symptoms
Risk Factors – According to the National Eye Institute
the risk factors for AMD include:
• Smoking and Second-hand Smoke.
• Obesity.
• Race – Caucasians are much more likely to lose vision
from AMD than African Americans.
• Gender – Of the more than 2 million Americans age 50
and older that have AMD, more than 1.3 million of those
cases are women.
• Family History – Those who have immediate family
members with AMD are at higher risk.
• Age – Although AMD can occur during middle age,
studies show people over
the age of 60 are at greater
risk.
Symptoms – In early stages,
AMD may not have symptoms
and may be unrecognized
until it progresses. Look for
the first signs, which are
usually distortion of straight
lines or blurred vision.
Symptoms also include:
• Diminished or changed
color perception.
• Dark, blurry areas or
white out appears in the
center of vision.
The Center for the Blind
and Visually Impaired (CBVI)
recommends that anyone
over the age of 40 gets a
comprehensive eye exam
each year. Only through
exploration and detection
by an eye care professional
can treatment begin that may
be able to slow the progres-
sion and help save your vis-
ion. For more information
about AMD contact CBVI at
610-874-1476 ext.161.

“L
et the games con-
tinue!” Even though
the Vancouver Olym-
pics are over, the residents
of Martins Run Senior Living
Community are preparing for
their own Olympic competi-
tion, to be held on Friday,
March 12, 2010. In honor of
the 2010 Winter Olympics, the
senior living community based
in Media, PA, will be spon-
soring its very own Martins
Run Olympic Odyssey. The
events will run from 9:15 a.m.
to 10:30 a.m. and will be held
in the main building on the
Martins Run campus.
The Olympic Odyssey will
feature an array of events,
kicking off with the Olympic
Torch Lighting Ceremony.
Linda Sterthous, Chief Exe-
cutive Officer of Martins
Run, will play the honorary
role of torch bearer. The
games will be a mix of indi-
vidual events, such as the
Senior Scoot wheel chair
race and Bottle Barrage, and
team events like the Ping Pong Pass. Prizes, including trophies, medals and gift cards,
will be awarded to first, second and third place winners in each event.
“Even for those not competing in the games, there are still many ways for all our resi-
dents to get involved in the games,” said Linda Beaver, fitness coordinator at Martins
Run. “The Olympic Odyssey provides a nice opportunity for residents to have fun social-
izing, supporting and cheering on their friends.”
Beaver said the Olympic Odyssey was inspired both by the Vancouver Olympics and by
her own experience participating in similar events. Last summer she competed in the
Pennsylvania State Games and the Delaware County Senior Games, where she took home
an aggregate total of five gold medals. The weeklong Delaware County event drew more
than 350 athletes from the surrounding area. Hoping to bring a similar interest and
enthusiasm to Martins Run, Beaver planned fun, competitive games for the residents.
The Olympic Odyssey is just one of many activities hosted by Martins Run throughout
the year to promote a healthy, social and active lifestyle. “We are always encouraging res-
idents to maintain a high level of mental and physical well-being. We know how impor-
tant it is, not only for their health, but also their happiness,” said Beaver.
For information on the Martins Run Olympic Odyssey, contact Linda Beaver at 610-353-
7660 ext. 218. For information on Martins Run, visit www.martinsrun.org.
