Once again, the first day of Fall shows us that every season has a unique beauty. Fall shows its natural beauty with orange, yellow and brown contrasts.

The Amsler Grid is used to test the macula, the very central part of the retina. The test is simply a grid made of evenly spaced horizontal and vertical lines. A small dot is located in the center of the grid for fixation. While focusing on the dot in the center of the grid, with one eye covered, ask yourself the following questions:
* Am I able to see the corners and sides of the square?
* Do I see wavy lines?
* Are there any holes or missing areas?
If the lines of the grid do not look straight or appear to be missing and/or distorted, you should visit your Optometrist as soon as possible.

The average person probably wouldn’t disagree that there is nothing more refreshing than waking up to a cheerful, beautiful, sunny summer day, but sadly I do. When I wake up to that blinding glare, I have no choice but seclude myself to the darkness, otherwise the day becomes a struggle with slightly painful pulsating pains (in the eye), which is followed by headaches and tiredness. This is the typical reaction that people with AMD get.
I, along with several ‘older’ generations suffer from an eye disease called “Aged-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), an eye disease that terminates some, if not all, central vision to say the least. I was fortunate to see a retinal specialist when I did, considering that my eye had been bleeding internally for the entire previous week, which had been originally written off as an eye infection and prescribed with eardrops. Yes - I said eardrops!

Well, times are a-changin’ and so are the ways that families spend their time together! Parents come up with these ideas that their children are bound to love and the only reaction that they get is ‘AWE….. but I wanted to (you fill in the blanks)’.
Parents have a harder time convincing their offspring that family time can be an enjoyable time, so some do the unthinkable…. If you can’t beat em’ - join em’!

On Monday afternoon, at the Kennedy School, students skipped down the halls with eagerness in their voices. Standing inside of the staff room, Mrs. Gwenn McKay, the newest addition to the Kennedy School, smiled as she watched the students roam the halls during their classroom break. This 2009 school year marks a 30-year career in the education field for McKay, presently a Principal and teacher at the Kennedy School.

I did it! I did it!
I conquered the fear of driving in the city! I had a stare-down with the face of fear and my body trembled out through the tips of my fingers and toes until I turned the ignition off!
OK!!!! I may not have driven right into the city, we can say city limits…. How’s that?! But I still conquered that silly fear of major traffic and the city rush of craziness! That fear has been the anchor that hasn’t let me experience the freedom of driving in the city (or city limits) until this past weekend! And let me tell you, I was shakin’ in my booties!
