Merion Foundation Supports Third Annual MLK Day of Cynwyd Train Station Service at Cynwyd Heritage Trail
Continued from front page
he Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail (FOCHT) have announced the Third Annual MLK Volunteer Day of Service for the Cynwyd Heritage Trail on Monday, January 16, 2012 at the Barmouth Trailhead (at the end of East Levering Mill Road off of Belmont Avenue) in Bala Cynwyd, PA. The event is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Guidance, tools, gloves and snacks will be provided. The MLK Day of Service volunteer day is a free event open to the entire community. The purpose is to assist Lower Merion Township and the Friends in preparation for future re-establishment of native meadows and ornamental landscape horticulture installations. Leadership for the workday will be provided by the Township and supported by the Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail. Volunteers should wear work clothes and dress in layers. Although basic tools will be provided, it is recommended that volunteers bring their own work gloves if they already own them and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Additional parking is available 1/8 mile away at the Bala Cynwyd Park Trailhead parking lot. According to Selene George, the newly elected President of the Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, The Friends have worked hard to support the Township to make this trail a reality. What better way to honor Dr. Kings life than to spend time with other Friends, neighbors, volunteers and local trail enthusiasts to work on a fun project right in our own backyard. For information, visit www.cynwydtrail.org. The Friends of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail (FOCHT) was founded in 2008 by a group of dedicated volunteers committed to supporting the construction of the Trail. Currently, the Friends focus on supporting the volunteer efforts in beautifying the park. In the future, the group hopes to support the recreational and educational resources of the park and provide for trail amenities.
ed as a separate entity. The Community Service Committee continues to oversee the Foundations grant-making activities. Jim Ettelson, President of The Merion Foundation commented, We are proud to support this important community project. The crown jewel in the collection of other historical industrial sites along the Cynwyd Heritage Trail, the historic Cynwyd Train Station will serve as a gateway to a two-mile, multi-use recreational corridor and linear park connecting communities to their cultural and industrial heritage. The grant is restricted to the Exterior Brick Restoration work that involves the repair, cleaning and re-pointing of the brick walls on the building. Jerry Francis, President of the Historical Society remarked: This is not the first time that such a generous donation has been made to the Historical Society. In 2004, the MCA made a $5,000 donation for the purchase of a new Toshiba e-Studio 200L photocopier...this unit has been useful and reliable and has produced over 100,000 good quality copies for the Historical Society and its patrons. The Lower Merion Historical Society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization serving the community for more than 60 years. Their volunteers have provided educational programs to the public, fostered responsible preservation of key historic landmarks and provided original research that documents and highlights the history of the area. The Lower Merion Historical Society is an organization dedicated to Preserving Our Past for the Future. This is accomplished by stewardship of local history, education of the community, preservation of historic resources and outreach to promote awareness of the cultural heritage of the Township of Lower Merion and the Borough of Narberth.

stride pianist, James P. Johnson, Three Rags for String Quartet is based on some of Novaceks earlier piano pieces, but transformed and expanded. When creating this piece, Novacek had the Ying Quartet in mind. He said, (they are) so full of positive energy and musical inventiveness. The final performance of the evening will be Beethovens Quartet in B-flat Major, Op. 130, Liebquartett with Grosse Fuge. The Ying Quartet is Ayano Ninomiya (violin), Janet Ying, (violin), Phillip Ying (viola), and David Ying (cello). They occupy a position of unique prominence in the classical music world, combining brilliantly communicative performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music. Now in its second decade, the Quartet has established itself as an ensemble of the highest musical qualifications in its tours across the United States and abroad. The group performs regularly in many of the worlds most important concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. The Ying Quartets constant quest to explore the creative possibilities of the string quartet has led it to an unusually diverse array of musical projects and interests. At the same time, the Quartets belief that concert music can be a meaningful part of everyday life has drawn the foursome to perform in settings as diverse as work places, schools, juvenile prisons, and the White House. As artists in residence at the Eastman School of Music, the Ying Quartet teaches in the string department and leads a rigorous, sequentially designed chamber music program. One cornerstone of chamber music activity at Eastman is the noted Music for All program, in which all students have the opportunity to perform in community settings beyond the concert hall. From 2001-2008, the Ying Quartet has also been the Blodgett Artists-in-Residence at Harvard University. Beginning with the 2010-2011 season, brilliant violinist Ayano Ninomiya joined Ying Quartet as first violin. The founders of the quartet are siblings Timothy, Janet, Phillip and David Ying. The Ying Quartet first came to professional prominence in the early 1990s during their years as resident quartet of Jesup, Iowa, a farm town of 2000 people. Playing before audiences of six to six hundred in homes, schools, churches, and banks, the Quartet had its first opportunities to enable music and creative endeavor to become an integral part of community life. The Quartet considers its time in Jesup the foundation of its present musical life and goals. The residency, supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, was widely chronicled in the national media. Toward the end of the residency, the quartet and several of the townspeople were invited to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress on behalf of the NEA.

4. Meal Planning Tools: Want the Approved Foods List for people with diabetes? You are out of luck: it does not exist! People with diabetes must watch how many total carbohydrates they eat, not ban specific foods. Even high carb items can be enjoyed in smaller quantities. But to get the maximum health and enjoyment out of your diet, it helps to discover new lower carbohydrate meals or variations on your favorites. The American Diabetes Association has excellent recipes on its website, and DiabetesDaily.com has an entire section of original recipes from culinary guru Elizabeth Edelman. You can track the carbohydrates in your food using tools like CalorieKing, which provides software with a detailed food database as well as the popular Calorie Fat & Carbohydrate Counter book to accurately track carbs and calories. 5. The Meter: Blood glucose meters are the key to discovering how to live a healthy life with diabetes. Want to know if your breakfast is okay to eat? Check your blood sugars, eat breakfast, and check it again two hours later. If you are back about where you started, then this meal works for you. If not, then consult with your doctor or educator about adjusting medication or the content of that meal. Most people find that little tweaks have a big impact on their health and how they feel. Having a better understanding of how certain foods or activities impact your blood sugar makes it simpler to adjust when you choose to vary your routine. And this is all information you can get right from your meter. For friends and family members, learn how to interpret blood sugar readings and the impact certain foods have on your friend or family member so you can better support individual choices like having ice cream for dessert. Often, concern can come across as judgment when well-wishers are uninformed. 6. Exercise Specialists/Instructors: A good fitness instructor can provide information and exercises not only to help control weight, but also that specifically benefits diabetes management. For example, Diabetes Daily co-founder and certified yoga instructor Elizabeth Edelman recommends certain yoga poses to stimulate the pancreas, liver and kidneys. Try taking a class or enlisting a buddy for group support. 7. Yourself: Edelman believes the key to successful diabetes management is taking ownership of diabetes. You spend less than one percent of your year at the doctors office. The rest of the time you are on your own. So take the time to examine choices, actions and emotions objectively, without assigning guilt or blame. Understand what is working for you and what is not. And if you do not understand something, do not leave your doctors office until you do. It is your life, and it is worth fighting for. About Diabetes Daily Founded by David and Elizabeth Edelman, Diabetes Daily is an online support network that helps people affected by diabetes live a better life. The online support network features one of the largest diabetes forums, as well as original recipes, meal plans, cookbooks, blogs, educational resources, online blood glucose tracking, health challenges and diabetes related news.

Help Beat Cancer and Keep Your New Years Resolution with Team In Training
Winning Tips to Help Reach Your Goals! ts time, once again, to reflect on your goals for the new year. If getting fit and healthy is on your list for 2012, then consider joining The Leukemia & Lymphoma Societys (LLS) Team In Training (TNT) program. There is no better time to get involved. Team In Training, the worlds largest and most successful endurance sports charity training program, provides four to five months of certified coaching, a supportive group of teammates and staff, and nutritional advice to help you complete a marathon, half marathon, triathlon, or cycling event. TNT arranges airfare and hotel accommodations to the event of your choice. In exchange, participants raise funds to support cancer research and patient services. If you are looking for a program to fit your busy schedule, there is Team In Training Flex, a customized, online training option developed by TNTs renowned coaches. Team In Training is the answer to keeping your New Years resolution, said Kaitlin McCartan, Campaign Director of TNT. The program gives you the support you need to get through those moments of weakness, when you want to give up. And knowing that you are doing this to help patients battling cancer gives you that extra motivation. Since its inception in 1988 more than a half a million participants have raised more than $1.2 billion to support the LLS mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins disease and myeloma and improve the quality of lives of patients and their families. Team In Training provides the structure to make it easier to stick to your plan, explains McCartan, who provides five tips to help you achieve your fitness goals this year: Tip 1: Do it for yourselfand someone else. Get in the shape of your life while funding research to find cures for cancers like childhood leukemia. Tip 2: Set a goal and dont give up. Choose a concrete, measurable goal, and dont stop until you achieve it. Tip 3: Do it with teammates. Exercising alone is no fun. Work out with a supportive, friendly group of people. Tip 4: Make friends along the way. Getting fit in a team environment can pay dividends in the form of friendship. Tip 5: Participate in a winning program. Joining a structured program built for success, like Team In Training, will help you succeed. Teams are now forming for the summer season, which includes St. Lukes Half Marathon, Lake Tahoe Century Bike Ride, Rock n Roll Marathon and Half Marathon in San Diego, Lake Placid Marathon and Half, and Philadelphia Triathlon.

We as a society have moved into the realm of the digital age, he says. Patients rouPHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE tinely use the Internet to look up information about their illness and/or treatment, just as they look up information about other topics. In this way, the Internet has allowed patients to play a more active part in their care, and for this reason, I give my patients specific Internet addresses so I know that they are not Googling their conditions and getting, and following, misinformation. For example, Dr. Mago says he often prescribes the Internet site MedLinePlus, which is run by the National Library of Medicine and is a free, authoritative and unbiased source of information for patients. It not only provides information about various illnesses and medications, but provides links to a number of other authoritative websites, thus acting as a portal to web-based information for the patient. PCOM Healthcare Center City Avenue Division offers a Dr. Mago says it is rare for physicians to guide patients about what to look up and where. wide range of services for every member of your family He says physician reluctance is more about having to correct misinformation.

Rather than take the time to get to know their patients making sure discouraging patients from researching conditions online, I encourage fellow physicians to that they get the best medical care possible.

I never appointment today. really thought of prescribing websites to patients until I noticed the number of patients coming to me with printed materials from the Internet and asking questions, says Dr. Mago.

The results showed that overwhelmingly 84 percent said yes, they were.

Fox of the 92nd Infantry Division, Private First Class David M. Gonzales of the 32nd Infantry Division and Combat Medic James K. Okubo of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.

Malvern Preps 4th Annual Empty Bowls to Benefit Areas Homeless
O
Visit our campuses in Wynnewood for a
n Monday, January 16, students, parents, teachers, family and friends will gather on the campus of Malvern Prep to raise money to benefit the areas homeless population. The 4th annual event is called Empty Bowls, and it combines Malverns love of clay with the schools dedication to community service. On Martin Luther King Day, a designated national day of service, Malvern is seeking to build on the more than $27,500 raised in the first three years of Empty Bowls. Empty Bowls begins at 7 p.m. and is open to the general public. Tickets are $25 per adult and $15 per child ten and under, and are available at www.malvernprep.org/emptybowltickets. Empty Bowls is a months-long labor of love at Malvern, and is part of the national Empty Bowls movement, a national organization that has been supporting thousands of these events worldwide since 1990. Members of the Malvern community have created well over 800 ceramic bowls, both in the classroom and during nine open studio days held from October through January. Those bowls will be used at the event to serve a simple meal of donated soup and bread. Guests choose a bowl to use that day and A display of ceramic bowls created by to keep as a reminder that there are always Malvern Prep students and families. empty bowls, and therefore hungry people, in the world. Additional bowls are also on sale at the event, along with silent auction pieces donated by students and area artists. All proceeds are donated to Bethesda Project, an organization that works to reaffirm the dignity of our homeless brothers and sisters in Philadelphia. You can learn more about this important provider of housing and services to homeless and poor citizens of Philadelphia at www.bethesdaproject.org. Empty Bowls is being chaired this year by Malvern Prep seniors Austin Velte of West Chester, Julian Venonsky of Malvern, and Ryan Wheeler of Havertown. Ive been involved with Empty Bowls for four years, and I believe it is a great event for the community, said Velte. It realizes the strength of Malverns art program and applies it for a good cause. Empty Bowls is all about using your talents to help others, said Wheeler. We all have talents but its what we do with those talents that make us who we are. Empty Bowls instills this in all who are involved and, hopefully, in all who attend the event. I feel that Empty Bowls is a very important part of the winter season at Malvern, said Venosky. It blends our outstanding arts program with our equally outstanding service program. Malvern has built a personal relationship with the people who benefit from Empty Bowls. Sophomores cooked and shared a dinner with the men from Bethesda Project on two fall service weekends in September and November, and, this year, sophomores also taught residents how to glaze for Empty Bowls. Sophomore Michael Stangis, of Media, works on a ceramic bowl during Malvern Preps According to Kate Plows, ceramics teacher and event coordinator for Empty Bowls, The outdoor Homecoming festivities in October. last service weekend was probably the best one Ive experienced at Malvern. At St. Augustines in Old City, the sophomores invited guests from Bethesda Projects shelters to glaze bowls while the smell of chicken stew and cornbread wafted from the kitchen. The energy was greatlively conversations, laughter, and lots of sharing. Malvern Preparatory School is located at 418 S. Warren Avenue, Malvern, PA 19355. For information, visit www.malvernprep.org.

ne in three people will be making a New Years resolution during that sixty second descent of the crystal ball in Times Square. In fact, studies show that those who make resolutions are ten times more likely to successfully change their behavior. This year, Senior Helpers, one of the largest in-home care agencies in the nation, is asking all caregivers to make a New Years Resolution list and check it twice! Once that countdown is over, 10,000 people will officially hit senior status each day of the New Year, says Darlene Murphy of Senior Helpers of Chestnut Hill. That means many adult children will suddenly find themselves taking on a new role as caregiver for their aging parent/s. Were encouraging all caregivers, families, and professionals to take a moment of reflection for the New Year and write down their top ten caregiving resolutions. Something as simple as writing down their goals for the New Year really can help them cope emotionally through this challenging stage in their lives. Research reveals that the readiness to change is the single most predictor when it comes to whether your New Years resolutions will be successful. Family caregiving has become so main stream that many Baby Boomers are working an average of more than 20 hours/ week, OUTSIDE of their normal 40 hour work week. The individual feeling most of this stress is often the middle-aged, eldest daughter, who is also working. If youre feeling the stresses of caregiving, here are some resolutions Senior Helpers recommends. Senior Helpers Top 10 Caregiving Resolutions: 1. I am doing my best no one is perfect and I wont allow myself to drown in guilt. 2. Receiving advice from others only makes me stronger, not weaker. Its okay to ask friends and family, or agencies like Senior Helpers, for guidance. 3. I promise to take care of myself and my health, and to not cancel doctor appointments. 4. I promise to make time for myself, alone. And, I wont hesitate to ask for help to achieve that or feel guilty about it. 5. I will say no to requests when I feel my schedule is too full for one more thing. 6. I will always keep in mind that the senior I care for did not choose their illness or disability. 7. I will reach out for help if I feel caregiver burnout or signs of depression. 8. I will make time for my own family memberstheyre important too. 9. I will remind myself that the healthier and happier I am as an individual, the better caregiver I will be. 10. If Im having a tough day, I will slow down, back up, and try again. We believe one of the most important resolutions listed above is for caregivers to not be afraid to reach out for help, says Darlene Murphy. Six months into the New Year, only 46% of people are still making good on their promises. Senior Helpers can help you keep your caregiving resolutions. In-home care isnt just for full time senior clients... were also here to help give caregivers a break, even if its just for two hours at a time. For information, visit www.seniorhelpers.com.
