Fetell has been playing chess since first grade, stating thatit is “a family tradition.” He ranks 61st nationally for his divi-sion in the United States Chess Federation (US Chess) Na tion -al High School Chess Championships.

His App passed the rigorous Apple requirements and standards, and, in the first fewweeks in the App Store, it had over 100 downloads and four zealous, five-star reviews. “Making the App was a great way for me to learn more about programming while, at thesame time, doing something that is useful for all chess players,” says Fetell. “Also, I’vedeveloped a really broad skill set for programming, so now I can do many more things.” Heis currently working on a social media App.At GFS, Fetell is developing the competitive chess team and working with younger kidsto foster a love of chess and programming. “I really like working with younger kids,” he says.“Programming is a way of thinking that combines creativity and the ability to apply that tomaking something concrete. That is valuable, especially if you can start [programming] ata really young age.”He wants other kids benefit from chess, as he has. He says, “Chess taught me disciplineand how to look ahead—you always have to picture the end game, and I think that appliesa lot in life. Also, you have to be prepared to win or lose and if you go down you can’t giveup, you have to keep going.”

Penn Vet’s Ryan Hospital is hosting the 7th annual National Service Dog Eye Exam eventsponsored by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) and Merial.
On May 6, 8, 12-16 and 21, Penn Vet’s Dr. Gustavo Aguirre, professor of ophthalmology;Dr. William Crumley, staff ophthalmologist; and Dr. Stephen Gross, staff ophthalmologist,will join 190 ACVO board-certified ophthalmologists conducting eye examinations across thecountry.
The ACVO/Merial National Service Dog Eye Exam is a philanthropic effort generously pro -vided to the public by the board-certified Diplomates of the American College of VeterinaryOphthalmologists, who donate their time and services to provide free ocular exams to quali -fied service animals.
As a way to serve dogs who dedicate their lives to serving us, these exams are free to reg-istered service dogs across the United States and Canada. Through these efforts, service doghealth can be improved and potential disease averted.
How to Make an AppointmentTo qualify, animals must be “active working animals” that were certified by a formal train-
ing program or organization or currently enrolled in a formal training program. The certi-fying organization can be national, regional, or local in nature.
1. Owners/agents for the animal(s) must FIRST register the animal via an online registra-tion form at www.ACVOeyeexam.org. Registration ends April 30.
2. Once registered online, the owners/agents will receive a registration number and willbe allowed access to a list of participating ophthalmologists in their area.
3. Owners/agents may then contact Ryan Hospital’s appointment desk (215-746-8387) toschedule an appointment
What Veterinary Ophthalmologists Look for During the ExamDuring the complete ocular exam, veterinary specialists look for problems including red-
ness, squinting, cloudy corneas, retinal disease, early cataracts, and other serious abnor-malities. Early detection and treatment are vital to these working animals.
The American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists® is an approved veterinary special -ty organization of the American Board of Veterinary Specialties, and is recognized by theAmerican Veterinary Medical Association. Its mission is “to advance the quality of veterinarymedicine through certification of veterinarians who demonstrate excellence as special istsin veterinary ophthalmology.” To become board certified, a candidate must complete a Doctorof Veterinary Medicine degree, a one-year internship, a three-year approved residency, andpass a series of credentials and examinations.

television special; songs drive the plot while familiar and nostalgic set design with projec-tions, costumes, and characters are brought to stage. The cast brings new energy to the clas-sic songs and dialogue, while irresistible and loveable puppets help showcase the charm-ing “roughness” from the television show’s stop-motion effects. “We address all of the famil-iar story elements from the television special with a talented cast and puppeteers who helprecreate the magic on stage,” says producing partner Bob Penola.The story tells the tale of a young Rudolph who, because of the appearance of his bright,
shining nose, is ousted from the reindeer games in Christmas-town. He flees town, meets upwith new friends Hermey and Yukon, and a series of funny and endearing adventures ensue,including a visit to The Island of Misfit Toys. Rudolph journeys home, where a snowstormof epic proportions is threatening Christmas.

What happens when you put 50 middle school boys in a room together with hundredsof snack foods at the end of the school day? Well what looks and sounds like chaos, can
turn out to be a very successful community service project.That’s what happened when Devon Prep’s Christian Action Program (CAP) organized
“Brown Bag Bonanza” for the school’s sixth, seventh and eighth graders on a recent after-noon. The goal was to assemble as many snack bags as possible for Safe Harbor HomelessShelter in West Chester. The result was over 500 bags filled with oatmeal packets, nutragrainbars, granola bars, peanut butter crackers pretzels, etc., and a new appreciation for help-ing the needy.“Many homeless shelters serve two meals a day and at very specific times,” said Mrs. Eliza -
beth Eshleman, moderator of CAP. “There are times when someone might come to the shel-ter but have missed meal time. ‘Brown Bag Bonanza’ was created so that shelters can offersomeone a snack bag to provide them with nourishment to get them to the next meal.”According to Eshleman the project was a fun, easy way to get the energetic and enthusi-
astic Middle School students involved in giving back to the less fortunate. The boys agreed.“I participated because it was a good thing for a great cause,” said Seventh Grader AndrewRanaudo of Malvern. Fellow seventh grader Ryan Bill of Phoenixville thought the project was“was chaotic but in a good way.”Eshleman and six of the students delivered the snack bags to Safe Harbor where they were
greeted by Mr. Glenn Fricke, Safe Harbor CEO. Fricke gratefully accepted their donationsand even gave the boys a tour of the shelter. Although preparing the bags helped all the stu -dents become aware of the existence of the homeless in Chester County, for the six whodelivered the bags the need became a reality.“By having this first-hand experience and learning about all the good that volunteers do
for their operation, the boys’ eyes were opened to how our fun service project impacts thegreater good,” explained Eshleman. “Since our visit, some of the delivery helpers have goneback to their Boy Scout troops to create their own project to help Safe Harbor. They are help -ing to spread the word about the importance of helping the less fortunate.”One of those spreading the word is Colin Fulmer of Broomall. The eighth grader said he
participated in the service pro -ject because “I always feel goodwhen I give back to the com-munity and those less fortu-nate. Touring the homeless
shelter I got to see so manydonations from different peo-ple which inspires me to domore to give back to the com-munity.” Fulmer is also considering building shelving for the men’s quarters at Safe Harboras part of his future Eagle Scout project.Safe Harbor (http://www.safeharborofgwc.org/) is a non-profit charitable organization
whose mission is to provide shelter, food and access to support services in a structuredenvironment for homeless single men and women in Chester County. Although the shelterhas sleeping facilities for 20 men and 20 women the shelter feeds many others daily.Devon Prep is a private, Catholic, college preparatory school for young men in grades six
to 12, conducted by the Piarist Fathers. Devon Prep students hail from Chester, Delaware,Montgomery and Bucks counties as well as parts of Philadelphia. The school’s Main Linecampus sits on 20 acres on North Valley Forge Road in Devon, PA. For information, contactDevon Prep at 610-688-7337 or visit www.devonprep.com.

The American Red Cross encourages individuals and organizations to give something thatmeans something this winter by making a lifesaving blood donation or hosting a blood
drive.Blood donations often decline from now to New Year’s Day when holiday festivities pull peo-
ple away from their donation appointments. Seasonal illnesses, such as colds and the flu,can also have a serious impact on blood donationsIn addition, there are fewer blood drives during the winter months when many hosting
organizations postpone drives while people are traveling for the holidays. Severe winterweather may also cause scheduled blood drives to be canceled. Despite the busy holiday season and threat of extreme freezing weather, the need for blood
remains steady. Organizations can help by hosting a blood drive during the winter months,and eligible donors are encouraged to make an appointment to give blood. Donors with allblood types are needed, especially those with types O negative, B negative, A negative andAB blood. Visit www.redcrossblood.org to learn more about hosting a blood drive. To make an
appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores,visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donors can now use theBlood Donor App to access their donor card and view vital signs from previous donations.
