T ranscendent, thought-invoking paintings focusing on endangered denizens of the animal world comprise Virginia Bradley’s exhibit “Jeopardy,” opened March 2 at the Villanova University Art Gallery. The show consists chiefly of large and very large renderings (one being 9 by 8 feet) of creatures great and small, extinct and extant, but princi- pally of those currently facing extinction. A free public reception to meet the Philadelphia artist and University of Delaware art professor will take place on Fri- day, March 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Art Gallery located in the Connelly Center on the Villanova campus. Refreshments will be served. Convenient, on-campus parking is available. Writes a reviewer of her art: “Virginia Bradley’s paintings are mysterious and . . . pos- sess an organic materiality that declares the lengthy and intricate process of their making. They have been lived with and loved. Looking at them, viewers can . . . layer their own experiences and memories on top of Bradley’s.” In Decticus, an image of the tip-of-the-finger-sized bush cricket looms large in a watery world, while others of the shrinking species hover near, obscured by a misty veil of multi-colored folds. The word ‘Decticus,’ writ large across the top, lends the work a tombstone motif. The cricket is known as the wart biter for its long use by humans to remove the unwanted growths. Her 6½ ft. by 10 ft. A Zoological Airing was inspired by Bradley’s 2013 stint as the first ever artist-in-residence of the Zoolog- ical Society of London. Done in black and white and tinted in shades of blue that hint of the past, the huge work depicts a menagerie of animals cavorting in the once-thriving Tower of London zoo. “I strive to ingrain a sense of history and memory in my imagery,” says Bradley. Many of the some 180 species of the animals once held in the zoo are today extinct or endangered. There is a strong ethereal quality in Hirola, her 30 inch by 22 inch work of three ante- lope prancing ghostlike in a lemony orange mist. In alarming decline, the disappear- ance of the hirola will mean the passing of an entire ancient antelope group. Though Bradley’s art is borne of deep and abiding feelings for residents of the animal S aturday, March 28, 2015 two legends come together—the legendary Sunny- brook Ballroom and the legendary Bobby Rydell.

General Admis- sion seating purchased the day of the show is $ 55. Bobby Rydell’s career spans six decades and encompass- es every area of the enter- tainment world. His debut in the late 50s as a Rock and Roll teen idol led to starring roles in films, plays such as “West Side Story,” and count- less network TV appearances. A polished performer at the age of 19, he was the young- est person ever to headline the famous Copacabana in New York.

The Freethought Society (FS) hosts Bruce Hanes, Esquire, the Mont -gomery County twice-elected official who defied Pennsylvania state
law in 2013 and began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.Hanes will speak on Monday, March 16, at 7 p.m. at the LudingtonLibrary, 5 South Bryn Mawr Ave., Bryn Mawr. The event is free and opento the public.Hanes’ presentation “Marriage Equality – What’s The Problem?” will
highlight how it came about that on July 24, 2013 the Montgomery CountyRegister of Wills and Clerk of Orphans’ Court issued the first same-gen-der marriage license in the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl -vania. The presentation will be about the reasons why Hanes decidedto do this and the consequences following that simple act, includingthe state Department of Health filing a lawsuit to force him to stop. Themove defied a state law that had been in existence since 1996.In what amounted to a nearly year-long back-and-forth legal battle on
the state’s same-sex marriage ban, the issue was settled on May 20, 2014when Judge John E. Jones III ruled the ban unconstitutional. A week later,the state dropped its case against Hanes, who became known as the“rebel Montgomery County Register of Wills.” (Jones was appointed byPresident George W. Bush as federal judge on the United States DistrictCourt for the Middle District of Pennsylvania; he was previously bestknown for his presiding role in the landmark Kitzmiller v. Dover AreaSchool District case, in which the teaching of intelligent design, alsoknown as creationism, in public school science classes was ruled to beunconstitutional.)Hanes was elected as Montgomery County’s first Democratic Register
of Wills and Clerk of Orphans’ Court in 2007 and was re-elected for thesame office in 2011. Before becoming Register of Wills, the Temple Univer -
sity School of Law graduate briefly served as a real estate law teacher at its Real Estate Institute. He also served as anAssistant Attorney General for the Pennsylvania Department of Justice – which, ironically, declined to pursue Hanes forissuing marriage licenses for same-sex couples – before starting his own private practice, D. Bruce Hanes and Associates,where he spent nearly 40 years practicing civil litigation, wills, estates, and real estate law. He is also currently an adjunctprofessor at Philadelphia University, where he teaches electoral law and politics.For information, contact: Glen Loev, Freethought Society Vice-President at 610-420-2808.

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.

Quaker writer, speaker, and activist Eileen Flanagan will speak on “Hope for the Future:Creative Communities,” at 11 a.m., Sunday, March 8, at the Ethical Humanist Society of
Philadelphia, 1906 S. Rittenhouse Square. Through her work with Earth Quaker Action Team,Flanagan has become convinced that small groups of people working together creativelyare doing the most to address climate change. She’ll tell the inspiring stories that give herhope, from women farmers in Kenya to the local group taking on a national bank to stopits financing of mountaintop removal coal mining. All are welcome to attend. Flanagan’s new book, “Renewable: One Woman’s Search for Simplicity, Faithfulness, and
Hope,” tells the story of her midlife realization that she was not living up to her potentialor her youthful ideals, and the engaging journey that led her to handcuff herself to the WhiteHouse fence. Her previous book, “The Wisdom to Know the Difference,” was endorsed by theDalai Lama. A graduate of Duke and Yale, Flanagan leads the board of Earth Quaker ActionTeam, which uses nonviolent direct action to work for a just and sustainable economy.For information contact the Society at [email protected] or 215-735-3456 or visit the

Pope Francis’ September 2015 visit to Philadelphia could bring a million visitors to theDelaware Valley. With hotel rooms filling up fast, regional homeowners may be envision -
ing an opportunity to rent their home short-term or participate in a home exchange pro-gram. Before taking the plunge into becoming a temporary landlord, homeowners need tounderstand how to protect themselves and their assets.“The short-term nature of rental agreements often results in a number of inexperienced
landlords lured by the prospect of quick money,” says Tom McManus, vice president ofinsurance for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “It’s important that you do your homework and talk to yourinsurance agent or insurance company before you decide to let strangers live in your house.”Before you hand over the keys, full-service insurance agency AAA recommends:• Find out what type of policy you have. Some policies only provide coverage on losses
incurred to your property from hazards or events named on that policy.• Double check that your homeowner’s policy covers short-term renters or if an endorse-
ment can be added to provide coverage. Many companies offer them.
• Note in the short-term lease that the renter will be responsible for all property damageincluding theft. It’s also crucial to get proof of the renter’s home, auto, and if they have it,umbrella insurance.• Getting a security deposit is always a good idea to help minimizes financial loss to you.• Make sure you have enough liability coverage to include any incidents. You want to
have at least $500,000 in coverage, although $1 million is better, or an umbrella policy. Thiswill cover personal injury, accidents and property damage that exceed what is covered byyour regular policy.• Lock up or remove valuables from the home.• When you move back into your home, change the locks and get new keys made.“Though your renters should have their own insurance, you don’t want to rely on that,”
says McManus. “It’s imperative to check with your agent to ensure you fully understandthe risks and what is covered.”Once a homeowner confirms they are properly covered, the search begins find quality rent -
ers. The safest way is to use a real estate agent/broker to assist in this process; they will beable to help with the necessary background/credit check.AAA is a go-to source for insurance information. To learn more, visit AAA.com/insurance.
