"Artists are people also?you have
beliefs, sometimes you have to speak
out." As a woman, she emphathizes
with those who seek out the shelter;
also, there are few homes that are
not affected either directly or indirectly
by domestic violence. Most
people, if they've not experienced it
themselves, know someone who has.
A program of love songs seemed a
fitting subject for the concert, she
said, since love is often what gets
women into situations where
domestic violence occurs in the first
place.
i thought anyone who has been
battered could appreciate that," Ms.
Heid continued. "I thought we could
have some fun with it and get some
help for it.

Do You Know
Of Glaucoma?
By Dan K. Messner. M.D.
Glaucoma is one of the

Americans have glauco[

even know it. That's because
glaucoma generally
has no symptoms, especially
in its beginning
stages.

can detect abnormally
high fluid pressure within
the eye. a common sign
of glaucoma.
This abnormally high
fluid pressure can apply
pressure to the back of
the eye causing loss of
side vision.
Glaucoma effects people
of all ages, but it is
much more common after
40 years of age. It is also
more common in people
who have diabetes, a
family history of the disease.

The concert?like the other public

These moments opened avenues for
students, teachers, community
residents at large to share in the arts,
and perhaps something they hadn't
seen or experienced before. "And
that's what I came here to do," she
said. "That's what the Visiting Artist
Program is all about."
Tickets for the farewell performance
are $5 per person and are
available by calling 754-572G.
Refreshments will also be served.
"Hope Harbor Home is honored to
have such a fine dancer and actress
hold a performance to benefit the
shelter," said Cathy Guidry, shelter
program manager and director. Being
Reid's last local performance,
she added, "it should be an extra
special treat."
Before joining the Visiting Artist
Program two years ago, Heid trained
at Morlcy College, London, England,
