Other volunteers on the panels include: Amy Golden of Penn Valley, Betsy Lucas of Narberth, Donald Weinstein of Wynnewood, Evan Steinberger of Merion Station, Helen Bakanauskas of Bala Cynwyd, Helene Zeiger of Villanova, Kathy Esibill of Merion, Linda Hasert of Narberth, Matthew Cramer of Wynnewood, Nicole Kreamer of Wynnewood, Norma Edwards of Wynnewood, Pat Norton of Haverford, Patrick Johnston of Merion, and Susan Bolno of Penn Valley. There are many benefits from the YAP process. It saves taxpayer dollars by reducing the number of costly court cases. The involvement of local nonprofits as sites where teens perform community service demonstrates adult understanding of the mistakes that young people make, and connects youths more personally to their community.

he Upper Darby High School Choral Music Association is once again preparing to host its annual invitational Choral Music Festival. Now in its 22nd year, the Festival takes place Friday, January 31, 7:30 p.m., at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center, 601 North Lansdowne Avenue, Drexel Hill. Approximately 700 singers from seven area schools are slated to take part in this concert, which offers audience members of all ages a delightful evening of choral music. Barbara Benglian, Upper Darby High School Choral Director, looks forward each year to hosting this event. She points out that the Festival, the only one of its kind in the area, is a non-competitive one that promotes continued friendships and fosters inter-district musical collaboration. For students and choral directors it is an opportunity to share repertoire and experience varied musical styles; for audiences, it is an upbeat evening of family entertainment. In addition to the award-winning Upper Darby High School Concert Choir and Encore Singers, the festival showcases groups from Beverly Hills and Drexel Hill Middle Schools, as well as ensembles from Interboro, Haverford, Springfield and Sun Valley high schools. Choruses from each of the participating schools will be highlighted in performances of short pieces of their choosing. The concert will conclude with the combined choirs performing “America, the Beautiful.” This is a highly entertaining festival that anyone who enjoys choral music will want to attend! All seating is General Admission; the $5 per person admission fee will be taken at the door. Refreshments will be available for purchase during intermission. The Upper Darby Performing Arts Center is handicapped accessible. For information, call 610-622-7000, ext. 2363.

E GO P O ’ S “T HE L ADY FROM THE S EA ” Continued from front page
The production traces the deep yearnings of Ellida, the play’s beating heart. In her youth, Ellida fell in love with a sailor who shared her deep connection with the sea, but one day he left on a voyage and never returned. The years pass and as society demands, Ellida makes a happy marriage with a widower, taking on the role of mother for her step-daughters, and forever concealing her past love. Lady from the Sea reaches a crescendo when the mysterious sailor returns to reclaim his love. Forced to choose between her past and future, Ellida must confront her own needs and passions, beyond domineering social expectations. EgoPo is thrilled to welcome back set designer, Dan Soule, for this production. Returning from earning his masters at NYU, Soule’s past EgoPo credits include Vieux Carre, Bluebird, Woyzeck, Endgame, and Waiting for Godot. He will bring his beautifully immersive style to create Ibsen’s changing world by the sea. The dynamic role of Ellida will be played by the extremely talented Genevieve Perrier. EgoPo is excited to welcome back Perrier, having performed in EgoPo’s 2012 world premiere of The Golem. A two-time Barrymore Award winning actress, and graduate from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Perrier is well known in Philadelphia for her work with the Philadelphia Theater Company, the Arden, and Lantern among many others. EgoPo is proud to have many familiar faces join the cast of Lady from the Sea such as Ross Beschler (The Golem, Hell, and Marat/Sade) known for his work at the Wilma and People’s Light; Ed Swidey (the star of last year’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin) most recently seen in the incredible one-man Bathtub Moby Dick, as well as K.O. DelMarcelle (Anne Frank), Robert Carlton (Uncle Tom’s Cabin), Lee Minora (Houdini), and Kevin Chick (The Golem). EgoPo is also excited to have Colleen Corcoran join its stage for the first time. The Lady from the Sea runs February 19 through March 2 at Christ Church Neighborhood House. Wednesday through Friday curtain is at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets: $22 - 35. For a full performance schedule and ticket information, visit www.egopo.org or call 267-273-1414.

Baby Boomers at Higher Risk for Hepatitis C very year, nearly three to four million people are being infected by hepatitis C, a disease that often has no symptoms and can cause an increased risk of cancer and liver failure. Although hepatitis C can affect anyone, an increasing number of middle-age and older adults are being diagnosed, particularly baby boomers. “More than 75 percent of the adults who are infected with hepatitis C were born between 1945 and 1965, but most don’t know about it because there are no symptoms. It’s a real health issue facing the older population,” explains Scott Fink, MD, Chief of Hepatology at Main Line Health. Most baby boomers with hepatitis C are believed to have contracted the disease in the 1970s and 1980s, when rates of infection were the highest and before the screening of blood supply began. The disease is most often transferred through blood transfusions, sharing needles, and sexual contact. Since hepatitis C has no symptoms, many of these adults have been living with the disease for years, and the longer it has gone untreated and undetected, the more at risk patients are for serious health complications down the road, including liver disease, liver cancer, and, in serious cases,

death. Fortunately, treatments are available for hepatitis C. While the disease has traditionally been treated with a weekly injection that caused unpleasant flu-like side effects, there is hope on the horizon for patients looking for better treatment options. The FDA recently approved two new drugs – Sovaldi and Olysio – that are expected to improve both the treatment of hepatitis C and decrease unpleasant side effects of treatment. “There are a number of benefits to these treatments. For some patients, this is the first time an all-oral regimen has been available for hepatitis C. It offers fewer side effects and higher response rates for patients,” says Dr. Fink. “It provides a lot of hope for patients who historically have only had one option for treatment.” The only way to know if you have hepatitis C is to get tested. Your doctor can conduct a blood test to determine whether or not you’ve been affected. If you think you may be at risk, talk to your primary care doctor about your concerns.

Cawley’s Irish Pub Celebrates 40 Years awley’s Irish Pub in Upper Darby celebrated its 40th anniversary the weekend of January 17 - 19, 2014. (January 17, 2014 was the official anniversary date.) Sean and Ann Cawley immigrated to the U.S. almost 50 years ago. They worked, got married, had four children, and bought a bar that would become a staple in the Irish-infused neighborhood of Upper Darby. Throughout the years, there have been many people who met and married at Cawley’s, decadelong friendships made, and staff members and customers that have become family.
