Tiffany tells me that the event received excellent coverage in the newspaper, and the Columbia Chapter was able to solicit donations for the beeping eggs through the newspaper coverage of the event. Congratulations on a job well done! <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">As we announced last week, our new mobile app, NFB Connect, is now available for IOS devices. You can find it in the Apple App Store, or just use the following link on your iOS device to download it directly: <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nfb-connect/id968434124" target="_blank">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nfb-connect/id968434124</a>.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">There is an issue that prevents the “Chapters and Regional Info” feature from functioning properly on some devices; however, we believe that the problem will be resolved some time this week. It will be a pleasure to demonstrate the new NFB Connect app at the Board meeting this Saturday. In the meantime, it is already working great, so check the app store and stay tuned for more details.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you attended the 2014 Board Retreat at Rocky Bottom, you are aware that Gary Wunder, who edits the NFB’s flagship publication, the Braille Monitor, was at the retreat to participate in the Board meetings and write an article for the Braille Monitor about the NFB of SC and its programs.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">That article, entitle “South Carolina: An Affiliate with Treasures, Traditions, and Targets for Future Accomplishments”, appears in the April issue of the Braille Monitor, and I encourage you to read it at your upcoming chapter meetings. It is not every day that a state affiliate receives this kind of coverage, and we should all feel very proud to receive this attention at the national level.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">It is time to make hotel reservations (as I have done) for the National Convention, which will occur this year from July 5 through July 10. To do this, you should write directly to the Rosen Centre Hotel, 9840 International Drive, Orlando, Florida 32819. You can also call the hotel at <a href="tel:%28800%29%20204-7234" value="+18002047234" target="_blank">(800) 204-7234</a>.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The 2015 room rates are singles, doubles, and twins, $82; and triples and quads, $89. In addition to the room rates there will be a tax, which at present is 13.5 percent. No charge will be made for children under seventeen in the room with parents as long as no extra bed is requested.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The hotel will ask for a deposit of $95 for each room and will want a credit card number or a personal check. If you use a credit card, the deposit will be charged against your card immediately, just as would be the case with a $95 check. If a reservation is cancelled before May 28, 2015, half of the deposit will be returned. Otherwise refunds will not be made.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I also want to remind you of the upcoming meeting of the NFB of SC Board of Directors at 1:00 PM this Saturday, April 11 at the Federation Center of the Blind following the Rocky Bottom meeting. We will be doing a great deal of planning about the State Convention, and I need you there. Please help us plan for the 2015 State Convention by providing your input!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic which defines you or your future. Every day, we raise the expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want: blindness is not what holds you back. Joining me for comments in this Positive Note is the President Emeritus of the NFB of SC. Here is Dr. Capps.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> Easter Sunday was beautiful in every respect. As we stepped out of the door of our residence I was told it looked like an open florist with all of the flowers and dogwoods at their peak. It may be hometown pride but throughout the years I’ve lived in Columbia (69 years) Columbia has been a very beautiful city. There are azaleas, tulips, wisterias and other flowers which made the day very special. Just up the street from where we live there was a cross made with different flowers. It seemed that this year there was a greater celebration of Easter than in recent years. Our son Craig dropped by our residence Easter morning and drove Betty and me to his condominium for a visit lasting most of the day. We were able to hear a good Easter sermon on television as Dr. Wendell Estepp, Pastor of Columbia’s First Baptist Church is a superb minister and we thoroughly enjoyed his Easter message. I really know that the primary and principle purpose of the Positive Note is to feature our programs of service to the blind but I felt compelled the need to share with you, my fellow blind, the tremendous appreciation we have for Easter. The music at First Baptist Church was also wonderful. It features a large orchestra and choir. Craig, who is a good cook, prepared a wonderful Easter dinner. It included a Cornish hen (slightly better than a regular hen), and vegetables consisting of carrots, green beans, tomatoes, cabbage and rice and gravy. It was topped off with chocolate cake. After the wonderful meal, Craig played for us on his wonderful stereo system many of my favorite songs. I love to hear Kate Smith sing, “God Bless America” and, “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain.” We also enjoyed Judy Garland’s rendition of, “Easter Parade” which no one does better than Judy. Incidentally, the song was sung by Judy Garland in concert in 1960. Also she sang, “You Never Walk Alone” from Carousel which incidentioally is my favorite song as I want it sung at my funeral. We also enjoyed songs sung by Pat Boone. Frank Sonatra and Rosemary Clooney sang, “Some Enchanted Evening” from the Broadway production of South Pacific. Craig has several thousand CD’s as well as an impressive library. We also saw the CNN production of the betrayal of Jesus by Judas and it was done quite well, as well as can be expected by television documentaries. Easter Sunday was topped off with a telephone call during the evening hours from our beloved granddaughter Laura Holdcraft who wanted to tell us that she and her husband and two children will be visiting with us beginning June 4. They live in Louisville. It was a grand Easter. I realize all of you across the state also had a meaningful Easter. I want to congratulate Frank Clark, President of our Oconee County Chapter for sending a chapter contribution of $100 to the Lawton Hall Fund. Frank recognized the importance of supporting this most worthy project and he has my deep appreciation. I look forward to seeing several of you this Saturday.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Final Thought: “Remember April 15 – tax day – Many happy returns!”<u></u><u></u></p></div></div><br><br>---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: David Houck <<a href="mailto:nfbsc@sc.rr.com">nfbsc@sc.rr.com</a>><br>To: <<a href="mailto:nfbofsc@nfbnet.org">nfbofsc@nfbnet.org</a>><br>Cc: <br>Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 09:09:22 -0400<br>Subject: [Nfbofsc] Don League passes<br><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p class="MsoNormal">For those of you who knew Don League who resided in the Columbia area, he passed away Sunday after suffering from Parkinson’s disease over several years.

<div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72">
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone, this is Nancy VanderBrink and I am a dog guide user.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below you will find information about the ACVO American Academy of Veterinary Ophthalmologists Annual program to give Free eye exams to Service dogs. This includes dog teams ranging from guide to police and other dogs that have accredited
papers from a certified program <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m sending this because my first guide, Cole developed cataracts and we couldn’t at the time afford to deal with the issue. This is a free exam and as we all have to go have our eyes checked annually – at least I hope you do! – so should
those that provide such a valuable service to us.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below I have copied ALL of the information I could get from their website about the program. Here’s essentially what you do, you go online, and register your service/ dog guide, then you contact a vet’s office who is providing the service
in your area. Thankfully there are two areas in South Carolina where these exams are being offered, Columbia and Greenville. I have not yet completed the registration form so I don’t know what clinics.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After you register, you call the clinics listed and ask for an appointment and you take your dog. I did this a few years ago when I lived in Boston. I had a sighted person go with me in case they did something that would impair Doc’s
vision, such as dilation, I do not remember whether he was fully functional afterwards. As a precaution, I’m going to get a ride. So, I encourage you all who have dogs and have their documentation, this is something that could be very important.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions or concerns, email me at home, <a href="mailto:nvanderbrink@icloud.com" target="_blank">nvanderbrink@icloud.com</a><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These appointments will take place during the month of May.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is lots of information below, so please keep reading.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nancy<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 8th ACVO/StokesRx National Service Animal Eye Exam event will provide a free screening-wellness eye exam to Service Animals including those provide the following services: guide, hearing assistance, drug detection, police/military,
search and rescue, therapy, and those assisting people with disabilities other than blindness.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All animals must be formally trained, certified, currently working service animals OR formally trained therapy animals with proof of active registration. (Additionally, due to the IAADP's extensive membership requirements and screening,
the ACVO will permit "current, active, Partner Members" of this organization to participate in the program.) Those currently enrolled in a formal service animal training program may also qualify, but is based upon clinic availability. Qualification paperwork
for the training and current work status of either the Service Animal or therapy animal MUST be provided to the clinic at the time of the exam, in additional to the registration number provided in the confirmation email generated by the online registration.
Please note that clinics may have limited availability. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The complimentary eye exam through your veterinary ophthalmologist is of a screening nature and is not appropriate for animals with known eye issues.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Puppies may participate in the program if they meet some general parameters:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) They must be at least 3 months old at the time of the exam.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) They must already be a part of a recognized, national or regional non-profit Service Animal training organization. (Therapy puppies in training are not permitted.)
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) This screening will not provide an OFA exam. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4) Examination of an entire littler may not be permitted, depending on the facility, due to limited appointment slots and the desire to 'spread the wealth' to numerous owners and groups.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I OWN A NON-CANINE SERVICE ANIMAL, MAY WE PARTICIPATE? <u></u>
<u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have a Service Animal other than a canine, you may still plan to register, afterwards call your local participating ophthalmologist to make sure that your species is able to participate in the event at that location (e.g. felines,
equines, etc.) Horses are tricky because special facilities are needed to screen equines. We will provide a separate list for equine owners if you contact the office, and it may also be linked here after the launch of the event.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The definition of "qualified Service Animals" to be screened during this event applies only to this ACVO/StokesRX National Service Animal Eye Exam Event. ACVO is not a publicly funded organization and may define the qualification parameters
for this event. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Data is being collected to be used in the future to identify potential eye problems associated with the work that certain groups of Service Animals perform; to keep the data useful we have to carefully set the criteria for participants.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Over the past several years we have had some individuals claim their animal was a Service Animal, when it was not, just to take advantage of the eye exam. ACVO Diplomates generously donate their time and resources to provide these exams
for Service Animals and we would like to encourage them to continue contributing to the program. Each clinic's resources are limited and if non-qualified animals fill the appointment slots then qualified animals may be excluded. Additional parameters were
set for qualification to help reduce the number of these occurrences. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If doctors feel their generosity is being abused by participants in the program, they may opt-out the following year, thus jeopardizing the existence of the event. Please be respectful of your clinic's limitations even if that means that
your animal in particular may not qualify at this time. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ACVO apologizes for any inconvenience our criteria for inclusion in this particular program may impose and we thank you for your support.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">REGISTRATION PROCESS & EXPECTATIONS <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 1 - Check that a clinic is located in the area that the examination will take place. In South Carolina, exams are being offered in Columbia and Greenville, as of April 8, 2015.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 2 - Register qualifying animals and puppies via the online registration form. The form will be available here beginning April 1st.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 3 - Once registered, the owner/agent will be given a link to participating clinics and receive an email confirmation linking to the same information.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 4 - Contact the participating clinic to schedule an appointment and provide the registration number to the clinic. The confirmation number will be provided in the instant confirmation window after you complete registration, in addition
to an email confirmation. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step 5 - Important! <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Service Animals - Owners/handlers must bring written proof of the Service Animal's certification paperwork (showing current certification) along with a copy of our program's confirmation email (showing registration) to the clinic for the
appointment. If either documentation is missing, you may forfeit your examination time slot and/or may not be allowed to participate again in the future.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therapy Animals - Owners/handlers must bring written proof of the current, registered certification paperwork (showing formal training and currently working) along with a copy of our program's confirmation email (showing pre-registration)
to the clinic for the appointment. If either documentation is missing, you may forfeit your examination time slot and/or may not be allowed to participate again in the future.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that you do not have an appointment set until you contact the doctor's office directly. More instructions for this process is included on registration page, once available.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">APPOINTMENT DATES AND TIMES <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Appointment dates and times may vary based on the availability of exams offered by each office. The clinic offices may offer exams for set days, for select times during specific days, or during times of their choice throughout the month
of May. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While scheduling the appointment, please identify yourself as participating in the 'ACVO Service Animal program' and provide your registration number from your confirmation. Clinics will require that you also bring proof of the Service
or Therapy Animal's formal training to the exam. (See Step 5 above). <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note: Clinics will at times establish additional parameters around scheduling exams. In order to 'spread the wealth' amongst the community they may limit the number of animals seen by one individual or program. This is not necessarily common
practice but occasionally must occur when one client tries to schedule a large number of animals and limited slots remain available. Clinics may also have an assigned number of appointment slots for each type of participant.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Registration completion and confirmation does not guarantee an appointment at the clinic of your choice, nor does it infer qualification for the exam. More on program qualifications.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHAT IS THE SCREENING EYE EXAM? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once the animal is registered, call to set a specific appointment time. (Late arrivals may not be seen as all of our doctors are volunteering their time.)
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The complimentary eye exam through your veterinary ophthalmologist is of a screening nature and is not appropriate for animals with known eye issues. It is expected that the majority of animals will be healthy and will not be in need of
additional services. Should and eye problem be detected, your veterinary ophthalmologist can discuss the condition, but it may be necessary to schedule an additional appointment to address these issues.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What happens during the eye examination? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Data collected on each animal will remain private and be utilized for internal research purposes only.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">REGISTRATION FOR 2015 BEGINS APRIL 1ST. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the examination, the ophthalmologist will examine the eyes to determine if there are any abnormalities. The aim is to identify problems early. Some abnormalities might need to be treated to prevent or delay progression. Other sight-threatening
problems such as retinal disease, cataracts, or glaucoma can be identified. The exam requires no sedation, requires minimal restraint, is non-painful, non-stressful, and usually takes 10-25 minutes.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Usually two diagnostic instruments are used:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The slit-lamp Biomicroscope is used to examine the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea and lens for any abnormalities such as extra lashes, corneal scars or other corneal opacities, eyelid or conjunctival growths, or cataracts.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The pupils may be dilated with Tropicamide to facilitate full examination of the lens, vitreous (gel behind the lens) and retina.The examination can be done without dilation, if elected, depending on the immediate working obligations of
the animal and the resources available at each clinic. If dilated, then the drops take an additional 15-20 minutes to dilate the pupils. The dilating agent wears off in approximately 2 hours, and usually does not impair the dog’s ability to work.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other diagnostic modalities might also be used, depending on the initial examination with the slit-lamp:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Schirmer tear test strip to check tear production<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fluorescein stain for identification of corneal ulcers<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tonometry to check intraocular pressure<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Exams procedures and timelines may vary from clinic to clinic.
