Special to The Weekly

In just the last five months, Collierville Arts Academy has hosted two master class workshops led by stars from touring Broadway musicals.

Chris Howard with the “Phantom of the Opera” and Michelle Camaya from the touring com-pany of “The Lion King” have stepped into Collier-ville Arts Academy studios and inspired some talented local dancers, singers and actors.

The Broadway Con-

nection master classes were followed by a ques-tion and answer session with the performers and allows the young dancers a chance to discover more about becoming a profes-sional performers. Collier-ville Arts Academy artis-tic director Julie Knowles believes bringing artists of the highest caliber is important to the students.

“We bring in these ex-cellent master teachers and talented guest artists because it enhances the opportunities for our stu-dents to learn about devel-oping a professional career in theater,” Knowles said. “Our young students have the chance to learn from

artists currently working and touring with some of the most well-known mu-sicals in the world.”

Howard is back on tour as a cast member of “The Phantom of the Opera” after touring the coun-try with “Billy Elliot.” He also toured internation-ally with “A Chorus Line,”

danced for Dayton Ballet and has worked at notable theaters across the coun-try.

Camaya was thrilled to share her experience performing in the Broad-way and National Touring companies of “The Lion King” as a Broadway con-nection master teacher.

Will Irby with IceCure Medical Inc. freezes a ball of ice to demonstrate how the IceSense3 Cryoablation System can be used to freeze a small tumor. The device is being used in trials at The West Clinic Comprehensive Breast Center to test its efectiveness on breast cancer tumors that are small.

A clinical trial at The West Clin-ic Comprehensive Breast Cen-ter is testing whether small breast cancer tumors can be

conquered by freezing them rather than through surgery.

IceCure Medical Inc. of Collierville is funding the study of its technology, which ofers substantial savings com-pared with the cost of traditional sur-gery, the company contends.

The proile of the women sought for the study — their ages, tumor sizes and molecular breast cancer proiles — also highlight the rise of personalized medicine, said Dr. Richard Fine, a breast surgeon and

director of education and research for the center.

“More and more, we are personaliz-ing care of breast cancer because not all breast cancers are the same,” Fine said. “And with things called genomic proiling, we can actually determine which cancers are likely to behave better than others, which cancers are likely to spread, have lower risks of coming back.”

The clinical trial is testing a ma-chine that uses a needle with a tip cooled to minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Inserted into a breast, it

Calling all 25-year-old women in the Mid-South.

If you were born in 1990, the Southern Women’s Show would like to wish you a hap-py birthday.

The annual expo made the trek to Memphis the same year and wants to celebrate by ofering its fellow millen-nials free entry to the week-end show.

“It’s great fun. It’s like a girls’ day out. Some women make it a tradition and come with their mom or sister or girlfriends every year. It’s an annual event they really look forward to,” said Elisha Jernigan, show manager for the event.

The expo originated in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the parent company Southern Shows is located, and now presents a number of events from home and garden to farm shows.

The company came up with the women’s show in 1982 as a way for women to network and focus on their careers.

“We found that while busi-ness is important to women, they also want to relax and have fun,” said Jernigan.

She describes the current model as a women’s magazine come to life.

“You can ind a little bit of everything,” said Jernigan.

A stage dedicated to ap-parel will present fashion shows throughout the week-end, while close to 300 ven-dors sell clothes, accessories, home décor, health products, skin care products, fragranc-

Student charged for BB gun on grounds

A Germantown Mid-dle School student was charged in juvenile court for having a B.B. gun on school property March 4.

According to German-town Police, a dispatcher received a call at 3:23 p.m. advising that someone on school property was armed. The school re-source oicer spoke with an assistant principal, who said that a student had reported to a teacher that another student was in possession of a gun and was showing it to other students.

The male child was removed from class and found to be in possession of an air soft gun, accord-ing to the police report. When asked to empty his pockets, police said, he had one red B.B pellet in his back pants pocket. He was placed in a police ve-hicle and transported to juvenile court where he was charged with posses-sion of a weapon on school grounds.

engulfs a tumor in an ice ball, killing the tissue and allowing the body to ab-sorb it.

IceCure Medical is the United States sub-sidiary responsible for sales, marketing and distribution of the tech-nology, marketed as the IceSense3 Cryoablation System. Its parent com-pany is IceCure Ltd., a public company based in Israel, where manufac-turing and research are done, said Will Irby, vice president of sales and marketing for IceCure Medical.

Irby provides data showing the potential savings of the minimally invasive freezing pro-cedure, based on a com-parison with surgery for noncancerous breast tumors, which IceSense also treats.

No comparison of pric-es in the South was avail-able, but in the Midwest, the total average cost of the freezing treatment was $2,328 — 55 percent less than $5,191 for tradi-tional surgery.

Fine said that because reimbursement for sur-geons includes a “practice expense” component for procedures done in their oices, surgeons are not losing anything by choos-ing an alternative to an operating room.

“The reality is that most of the things that a breast surgeon gets paid better for are things that we do in the oice,” he said.

Cryoablation isn’t a new technology and has a long track record of use for tumors in organs in-cluding the kidney, lung and prostate. Another firm, California-based Sanarus Technologies, calls itself the leader in breast care cryoablation, ofering a treatment sys-tem for noncancerous tu-mors since 2001.

IceCure’s technology is newer, allowing the pro-cedure to be completed in about 15 minutes instead of 30 or 45, Irby and Fine said. A local anesthetic is used where the needle is inserted and ultrasound guides where the super-cooled needle tip will produce its ice ball to sur-round and kill the tumor.

IceCure is funding the clinical study that plans to enroll 300 breast can-cer patients in the next 18 months at 20 sites, in-cluding The West Clinic center in Germantown, Fine said.

In keeping with the trend of personalized care, the proile of pa-tients sought for the study is speciic and technical. They should be older than 65, have tumors of 1.5 centimeters or less and have “prognostic mark-ers” such as HER2 and Ki-67 — terms becoming more common in the age of genomics.

The clinical trial is starting with women with very favorable tumors that are small and can be treated with the alterna-tive to surgery, Fine said.

“So when we have pa-tients that have good situations, where their tumors are less likely to be aggressive or behave aggressively, or less like-ly to spread, if we can do something that is less costly, less invasive, keep the patient from having to go to the operating room, having anesthesia ... those are advantages,” he said.

“He’s based out of L.A., and I think his cuts usually run $300,” Jernigan said.

The weekend will be illed with celebrity ap-pearances, including a presentation and ques-tion-and-answer session with reality TV darling Jessa Dugger Seewald of “19 Kids and Counting.”

“I’ve already gotten a ton of phone calls, e-mails and Facebook messages asking when she will ap-pear. We’re very excited,” Jernigan said.

Seewald is scheduled

to appear Saturday at 1 p.m. to give a talk, answer questions and ofer either an autograph or a photo to each woman in line.

“I know she was just married this fall, so I’m pretty sure she’s going to talk about being a new-lywed and planning her wedding. I believe her hus-band is going to be there with her,” Jernigan said.

The event will take over the Agricenter on Walnut Grove Friday through Sunday. Times are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Last year, the event drew more than 20,000 attendees.

“I think it’s going to be even bigger this year,” Jernigan said.

Additionally, oferings include inancial advisers on hand to answer ques-tions, a health and itness section with doctors to

give advice, the Gone-cupcaking tour offer-ing cupcake-decorating workshops, and celebrity chef Dana Elliott of Taste of Home Cooking School giving cooking demon-strations on the dedicated

When he was around 5 years old, Tyler Pelts used a crayon to draw a picture of a deer, a piece of art that still hangs on the wall of his grandfather’s Missouri home.

That was perhaps the irst indi-cation that Mr. Pelts had a talent for art. Although he hadn’t yet de-termined whether painting and drawing were going to be his ca-

reer, Mr. Pelts had begun exhibiting some of his works in a small Chatta-nooga gallery, his father said Sun-day.

“I think art was going to be a com-ponent of his life. He viewed himself as an emerg-ing artist,” said Jef Pelts. “He was a budding artist type, really liked to be creative.”

Tyler Pelts, a 2012 graduate of Christian Brothers High School who was attending the Univer-sity of Tennessee at Chattanooga,

died last week after falling during a hike. He was 20.

According to his family, Mr. Pelts decided to go hiking at Sig-nal Point Park a little before dusk on March 5, but he didn’t tell any-one where he was going.

“He liked to go to the scenic area over the Tennessee River,” his father said. The next day, his father and brother tried to reach him, with no luck. Tracking his phone, they managed to deter-mine that he was in the park, but couldn’t pinpoint where.

They found his car, but with no sign of Mr. Pelts, his family called the authorities. A few hours later,

searchers found his body about 200 feet below an elevated trail where he was believed to have been walking. Oicials believe he left his trail for one that was more diicult.

“It appears that he got down in an area that is very steep, very rugged. It was after dark when he was down in there, a lot of ice on the rocks. ... He slipped and fell a considerable distance down in the woods there, and died as a result of his injuries,” Signal Mountain Police Chief Mike Wil-liams said Sunday. “He had actu-ally gotten of the trail and gone down through the woods. There

was a rough trail. That’s not the irst time that’s happened down in there.”

Mr. Pelts is the second Mem-phis man to fall to his death in that park in the past three months. In December, 20-year-old Dalton Downing, a Houston High graduate who also was studying at UTC, was found dead there after a fall.

On Sunday, Jef Pelts was still making arrangements to have his son’s body returned to Memphis.

“I would just like the world to know that he was a very loving and caring person,” he said. “He had a lot of love in his heart.”

Culminating an ambitious capital campaign that was al-most wrecked by the recession, the Shelby Farms Park Conser-vancy has amassed the $70 mil-lion needed to fund wide-ranging improvements designed to pro-pel the 4,500-acre facility into the ranks of the nation’s leading urban parks, group oicials said.

During a monthlong push that ended in February, about 340 donors — each giving sums from $4 to $10,000 — chipped in more than $140,000, surpassing the $100,000 required to trigger a $1 million challenge grant from FedEx Corp., and providing the conservancy with the inal dol-lars toward its goal, said execu-tive director Laura Morris.

“The capital campaign is com-plete ...,” she said. “Obviously, we are excited and proud to be deliv-ering what will be one of the most celebrated 21st Century parks in North America.”

The money will fund an ar-ray of projects — some already inished — outlined in the irst phase of a July 2008 master plan for the park, which is located between East Memphis and Cordova in the middle of Shel-by County. The centerpiece of the initiatives is the $52 million Heart of the Park project, which

includes a major expansion of Patriot Lake and is scheduled for completion by the fall of 2016.

The capital campaign is among the largest in Memphis history, although it ranks well behind the $100 million drive that helped fund the new Le Bonheur Chil-dren’s Hospital. The campaign began in August 2008 with the announcement of a $20 million challenge grant from the Hyde Family Foundations.

But the recession and stock market swoon of that same year took a toll on fundraising eforts, Morris said.

“We had to rethink how to get to $70 million ... It set us back,” she said.

Eventually, other donors that included FedEx Corp., Baptist Me-morial Health Care Corp., Plough Foundation, AutoZone, First Ten-nessee Foundation, International Paper Foundation and the McDon-nell Family Foundation ponied up major contributions. In all, more than $60 million of the $70 million was raised privately, with the pub-lic money coming from the state of Tennessee ($5 million), the county

($3 million) and city of Memphis ($150,000).

The drive was led by the con-servancy, the nonproit group that in 2007 took over management of 3,200 acres of Shelby Farms, and later the Shelby Farms Greenline, under a contract with the county. In addition to the capital money, the conservancy also must raise at least $2 million annually — more than 75 percent of its bud-get — to manage and operate the county-owned park.

Barbara Hyde, president of Hyde Family Foundations and a mem-ber of the conservancy’s board, said in a prepared statement that park leaders are “grateful to all the corporate, foundation, private and public partners who stepped up to help unlock the incredible poten-tial of Shelby Farms Park.”

FedEx was willing to contrib-ute a total of $6 million to the drive because Shelby Farms is “one of America’s premier parks and an integral part of this com-munity,” said Mitch Jackson, conservancy board member and vice president of environmental afairs and sustainability at Fe-dEx. He added that many FedEx employees are regular visitors.

The public contributions are justiied, as well, said County Mayor Mark Luttrell. “The com-munity investments made at this public park will reap beneits for Shelby County,” he said in a pre-pared statement.

The city of German-town is considering in-creasing its debt capacity to allow for the building of a new elementary school and the expansion of Riverdale School.

Under its current poli-cies, Germantown could take on an additional $16 million in debt. City Ad-ministrator Patrick Law-ton said per the German-town Municipal School District, the elementary school would cost about $15 million, and the River-dale expansion about $7 million.

Finance Director Ralph

Gabb said the city now has about $24 million in gener-al fund debt and pays back about $2.5 million a year.

The city’s financial advisory committee on March 3 heard a presen-tation from Lawton on the possibility of alter-ing the city’s debt policy. The committee, made up of local business owners, chief inancial oicers and inancial advisors, makes recommendations to the city through the budget process.

Lauren Lowe, director of the city’s inancial ad-visory company, Public Financial Management Inc., also talked about the city’s debt policies and room for growth in the

cap. Lowe said the city’s policies outline four met-rics for capping the city’s incurred debt. Some are per capita and others are percentages of the city’s total budget.

A few committee mem-bers asked whether the increase in debt would mean an increase in taxes.

Collierville is consider-ing a property tax hike in the range of 22 percent to pay for a new high school.

Alderman Rocky Janda, the inance commission li-aison, said “I don’t think we’re talking about a tax increase at this point.”

Lawton said it’s too early in the process to know if an increase will be needed.

Hobbies: Swimming, dancing and reading

Goals for the future: I always wanted to be a veterinarian, but I also want to travel around the world to learn about diferent cultures.

Person you most admire (and why): My grandmother because she doesn’t act her age. She is a great stylist and she wants to make everyone happy. Also, she is really courageous because she goes beyond her limits.

Favorite movies, TV shows, books: My favorite movie right now is “Into the Woods,” my TV show that I like most is “K.C.

Undercover.” My favorite book is “Wonder.”

Charlotte Crowder’s favorite sub-ject as a kid was reading and she enjoys line dancing.

Farmington fifth-grade Juliette Rivard said she wants to become a veterinarian one day.

CHARLOTTE CROWDERBailey Station Elementary, first grade

Q What do you like most about your school?

A Bailey Station Elementary is a great school. Our students are

our top priority. The administra-tion and parents are very involved and supportive. Everyone strives to create a nurturing learning en-vironment.

Q What was your favorite subject as a kid and why?

A My favorite subject was read-ing. There is nothing like curl-

ing up with a good book.

Q What was the most challeng-ing subject for you as a kid and

why?

A My most challenging subject/course as a kid was typing. I

used the hunt-and-peck method. I simply could not type without look-ing down at the keys. My skills have improved slightly with the integra-tion of computers in the classroom. However, no one would ever hire me as his or her secretary.

Q What is the greatest challenge you face as an educator?

A The greatest challenge to me as an educator is meeting the

diverse needs of students in the classroom amid all the other non-teaching responsibilities of educa-tors.

Q What do you hope to accomplish as an educator?

A As an educator, I would like to instill in my students a love for

learning and inspire them to be the very best that they can be. When teaching students, I am always reminded of the following quote: “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.” I am not quite sure of the original author. However, I love the quote.

Q What is the most rewarding mo-ment you’ve had as a teacher?

A My most rewarding moment as a teacher always occurs when

a student has been struggling to grasp a concept/skill and then has that “ aha moment” and then turns to you and states, “ I got it.” That’s a priceless moment.

Q Who is your teaching inspiration and why?

A My aunt, Charlie Mae Reed, a retired educator, is my teach-

ing inspiration. She has always had a positive attitude about teaching and a genuine concern for children.

Q Who is the person you most ad-mire?

A The people that I most admire are my parents. They are abso-

lutely wonderful and have been my best encouragers and supporters in my life.

Q When did you know you wanted to be an educator?

A I knew I wanted to teach as early as second or third grade.

I always enjoyed playing school when I was a kid. Of course, I had to be the teacher.

Q What are some things you enjoy doing outside the classroom?

A I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, read-

ing, listening to music, watching movies and shopping for home decorations.

Q If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?

A I would rid the world of hun-ger, homelessness and vio-

lence.

Fifth-grader Juliette Rivard learned English after moving to the U.S.


The Houston High Honors Academy is a recently founded program that chal-lenges students to achieve excellence through academic courses, community service and leadership opportunities.

Each year, council members col-laborate to create a community service project designed to ofer service oppor-tunities speciically to the members in their grade. Three sophomore council members invented the “St. Jude Blanket Project” for the 2014-2015 school year. The group proposed a plan to collect donations of $10 from the freshman and sophomore Honors Academy members. The money was used to purchase 100 pieces of leece fabric to be constructed by volunteers into 50 blankets for St. Jude patients. Thanks to the contributions from students, the result was a fantastic success.

More than 60 people donated to the Blanket Project to raise $620. The coun-cil used this money to purchase $563.44 worth of leece fabric, Ziplock bags to seal the sterilized blankets, copies and

snacks for volunteers. The group re-ceived a generous $150 gift card from the Target location in Germantown. The group used $54.66 on Ziplock bags and laundry detergent to wash the blankets. They also received $36 worth of cou-pons from S.C. Johnson, which further reduced the costs of the Ziplock bags.

On Jan. 5, more than 54 Honors Acad-emy volunteers came together to assem-

ble all 50 blankets. The blankets were washed, folded and immediately sealed in the Ziplock bags.

After all purchases were complete, the group had $56.56 left in cash donations and $95.34 remaining on the gift card. They decided to donate the remaining funds to St. Jude. Overall, contributions to St. Jude made by the Blanket Project grossed $734.

Southern Writers Maga-zine, a Collierville-based publication with a nation-al subscription base, will have its luncheon meeting on April 22, from noon to 3 p.m.

The heart of the lun-cheon will feature authors reading excerpts from their book and participat-ing in a question and an-swer session. They will lend their expertise in a variety of topics includ-ing plot development, dialogue, the publishing process and the mental attitude for success. There will also be book signings

by the authors with books available for purchase.

The event will be held at Collierville’s Morton Museum located at the corner of Poplar and Main. The cost is $38 per person. Visit southernwritersmag-azine.com/luncheon.html or go to southernwriters-magazine.com and click on the “luncheon” button to register.

Steve Bradshaw, author of the Bell Trilogy said, “This luncheon will be an ideal opportunity to help polish your writing skills regardless of genre. It will also provide book enthusi-asts a chance to peek behind the curtain and see the craft

of authorship in practice. It will be a great opportunity to meet some really inter-esting people with an im-pressive lineup of published authors on hand to stimu-late conversation.”

“This will be a fun event open to all who have inter-est in the writing craft” added Susan Reichert, chief editor of Southern Writers. We are delighted to have the support of the local li-brary as well as the Town itself.” A portion of the pro-ceeds will help support the Collierville library.

For more information e-mail [email protected] or call 901-853-4470.

Chip Denman judges the im-pact of this winter’s deep freeze by his growing to-do list.

The Olive Branch farmer is three weeks behind on planting, and harvests for his spring farm-er’s markets in Collierville and Hernando could be delayed. But even if he had gotten cold-loving vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli in the ground in mid-February, this week’s extended freeze would’ve done them in.

“We’re at the mercy of Moth-er Nature anyway, and all we can do is talk about it,” he said, taking an optimistic approach that all would work out, with a little hard work. “It’s not just me, it’s everybody that does any kind of farming.”

After enduring the seventh-coldest February on record, farmers in the Mid-South are into March with fields still fro-zen and chores stacking up.

But while it’s inconvenient, a freeze at this point in the year isn’t something produce suppli-ers to the region’s restaurants can’t overcome.

“When you look at the last couple of springs we’ve had, they’ve been mild. This one’s just been rough,” said Zachary Taylor, the Arkansas Agricul-ture Department’s marketing director.

But it’s still early, he said. Right now is about the time farmers would plant cold-weather spring vegetables, including broccoli, brussels sprouts and onions.

“If this was happening two weeks or three or four weeks later, I think it’d be noticeable,” he said.

There’s no major cause for concern yet for Mid-South

crops with later planting dates, like cotton, soybeans and rice, said Tim Price, of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association.

For those crops, a good level of moisture going into the plant-ing season can be a good thing — as long as the region avoids floods as the snow thaws.

And cold kills organisms and insects that might threaten the crop, Price said.

“The general soil condition going into planting, we think, could be very good, but we just don’t know (at this time),” he said.

Wheat, which is already in the ground, likely benefitted from the cover of snow and sleet, which act as insulation against recent low tempera-tures, said Jason Kelley, an agronomist with the University of Arkansas.

No one’s certain yet about fruit crops, which develop flower buds in the summer and go dormant in the winter. Once the buds swell in spring, farm-ers will be able to evaluate any damage.

“Our fruit growers, it’s very high-risk commodity,” said Elena Garcia, a University of Arkansas extension fruit and nut specialist. “All the flower buds are set in the summer and so whatever happens in the win-ter happens. And so there’s very little the grower can do.”

Despite the weather chal-lenges, some farmers are mak-ing progress with the help of hothouses, hydroponics and other tactics to overcome spring’s stubborn refusal to show up.

Northeast Arkansas farmer Keith Forrester doubts the cold snap will disrupt his produce intended for area restaurants.

“We’re rolling along, man,” said Forrester, who with his

wife, Jill, owns Whitton Farms in Tyronza. “We’ve taken fan-tastic precautions to protect against the cold and it hasn’t hurt me one bit.”

Spinach and kale planted out-side during the fall can survive the snow, particularly where the ground was worked up to protect the roots. Lettuce and tomatoes growing in the warm hothouse are fine and nearing the time for harvest, he said.

While the cold has delayed carrot plantings, Forrester said there’s still time to get carrots, corn, peas and okra in the ground. The farm sup-plies greens and vegetables to Memphis restaurants including Trolley Stop Market, which the Forresters opened in 2010.

Memphis Farmer’s Mar-ket is set to open April 4, and Tommy Bennett, of Bennett-Burks Nursery Farm, who sells

there, is aiming to get plants in the ground by March 20. Some plants get an early start in the greenhouse.

“The prediction is for a gradual warming trend, which should allow us to hit the plant-ing date,” he said. “As soon as the ground is dry, we’re going to plant.”

By Jennifer ChungKinsights.com (TNS)

As parents we have all had a tired toddler who hit his limit while out shopping or an excitable preschooler who just wanted to get his way. The next time you take an outing, try some of these tips to make the outing enjoyable for everyone.

■ You probably know when your child is on the verge of a tantrum or outburst. If you see it coming, get up and leave with your child before things really escalate. Try to sit next to the aisle if you’re at a seated event so you don’t have to climb over people to make a quick escape.

■ Bring a special bag of quiet toys to keep your child occupied. Your child might be able to sit quietly for part of a public event, but it might be tough for him to sit through an hourlong concert or ser-vice. A coloring book, Etch-A-Sketch or a felt board are all great toy options.

■ Practice whispering. This may sound basic, but sometimes toddlers just don’t know how to whisper. You can use a hand puppet to demonstrate outside voice, in-side voice, and whisper voice.

■ Set expectations ahead of time and make it fun. Talk-ing to your kids about the event you’re going to, getting them excited and explain-ing why it’s important to be respectful might help make them be more attentive and engaged.

■ When taking your kids to a public venue like church, a restaurant, or an outdoor concert at a park, the irst line of defense is to make sure it is an age-appropriate situation. Second, set the expectations for what is acceptable behav-ior. Finally, tell your children in advance what the conse-quences are for being disrup-tive and follow through.

■ Empower your child to make good choices in public. When it comes to a power struggle, allowing them to be in control of the outcome can be quite liberating. Be speciic about the behavior you expect.

■ When eating out at a res-taurant, take plenty of things to keep your tot entertained. When feasible, choose a family-friendly place to dine at and pack a bag of coloring books, puzzles, and small toys to keep them occupied.

■ If your child chooses to act out in a public venue, re-main calm. Try to use “when, then” statements, such as “When you calm down, then we can talk about what is up-setting you and ind a solu-tion” or “When you act out, then we have to cut our time short and go home.” Use a tactic like counting down from 10 to help them regain their composure so you can reason with them and help them feel better. Take them to the lobby or the restroom to gain some privacy and al-low other customers to enjoy their experience.

■ When your child acts out in public, be clear about the behavior you want to see and do not focus on the current negative behavior you want to stop. If your child is jump-ing on the booth seat and an-noying the customers next to you, say, “Please sit on your bottom and face forward,” instead of, “Stop jumping on the seat.” Be calm and re-spectful when making your request. Make sure to give your request only once so your child is used to obeying the irst time.

■ When in public, avoid giving your child negative at-tention during a temper tan-trum. This will only prolong the event. Give an immediate consequence for not behaving appropriately. Acting out can often just be the desire to be the center of attention. If you respond positively, this will help defuse the situation.

Handling kids’ public temper tantrums

Using laptops, tablets or smartphones, patients can talk to doctors face-to-face via the Internet. While it’s lauded as a timesaver for busy patients, there are still questions about the accuracy of online diagnoses.

This yummy medley of citrus fruit and toasted crunchies is sure to brighten your child’s morning while providing a healthy dose of vitamin C.

To make a batch of the toasted add-ins, spread 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 1 cup sliced almonds on separate baking sheets and toast them in an oven at 350 degrees, checking and stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. (This step can be done ahead and the ingredients

stored in airtight containers.) To assem-ble the parfait, peel and cut an orange into segments. Place half in the bottom of a 6-ounce glass. Sprinkle on a heaping teaspoon of toasted coconut, followed by a generous tablespoon of plain low-fat yogurt.

Repeat the layers, then top with a heaping teaspoon of toasted almonds.

Patients take control of medical needs via virtual care

“Finally someone gets it that you’re not sick from 8 to 5,” said Straeten, 32, a work-ing mother of two small children. “It’s just so nice to have this technology around the clock.”

In the past decade, as both Carolinas HealthCare System and Novant Health moved from paper to digital health records, the most dramatic change was often in-ternal. Doctors and nurses spent hours learning to document patient care and in-put billing codes. Patients beneited from better coordination of care and sharing of information. But for a while, the most noticeable diference was the computer in the exam room.

Today, the “patient engagement” phase has taken hold.

Using laptops, tablets or smartphones, patients can talk to doctors face-to-face via the Internet. They can schedule appoint-ments (sometimes for the same day), read their medical histories, view test results and correspond with medical providers by e-mail.

This has been called medicine’s “Guten-berg moment” by Dr. Eric Topol, one of the nation’s leading cardiologists. Much like the printing press liberated knowl-edge from control of the elite class, Topol says digital health technology is poised to democratize medicine in ways that were unimaginable until now.

“It goes from being the doctor’s medi-cal record to being the patient’s medical record,” said Dr. R. Henry Capps Jr. of Nov-ant Health Lakeside Family Physicians in Cornelius. “That’s a cultural transforma-tion.”

While these virtual contacts may be

more cost-efective than oice or emer-gency room visits, oicials at both hospital systems say their motivation is to make health care more convenient for patients.

“This is not about making money. It’s about being a vibrant organization that can take care of a community,” said Dr. Greg Weidner, of Mecklenburg Medical Group-Ballantyne and one of the champions of Carolinas HealthCare’s changeover. “The business case to be made for doing this is (about) engaging people in their health.”

Capps, one of the physicians who led Novant’s switch to electronic records, said the goal has been to create “a new kind of experience for the patient when they’re not inside our four walls.”

“What’s more convenient,” he asked, “than jumping on the Web and inding an appointment with a doctor near you, who you can see quickly?”

IS IT SAFE?Some doctors still doubt the safety of

treating some patients and conditions vir-tually.

Dr. Henry Smith, a Charlotte pediatri-cian for more than 40 years, said he re-cently saw four children who had been pre-scribed antibiotics from “virtual” health care providers that he did not identify. Such prescribing is a “dangerous practice,” he said, because of the risk of a mistaken diagnosis and the potential for overuse of antibiotics that contributes to drug resis-tance.

Smith didn’t distinguish between types of telemedicine services, but he said, when it comes to prescribing antibiotics for children, “exams with an iPhone are not

adequate to see and treat pediatric infec-tions,” even if providers have access to the patients’ records.

He said it’s almost impossible to diag-nose some children’s ailments, such as ear infections and strep throat, without an in-person examination. Without that, “you are only guessing,” Smith says in a handout for parents.

MEDICAL BOARD CONCERNSThis issue has been a concern of the N.C.

Medical Board, which until recently had a policy that appeared to preclude video visits. It said doctors should “ordinarily” examine patients in person before pre-scribing medicine.

In November, the board revised the policy to clarify what is allowed. Doctors using telemedicine are held “to the same standard of care as (those) employing more traditional in-person medical care,” said spokeswoman Jean Fisher Brinkley. But the policy now makes clear that an “in-person encounter need not have occurred as long as they’re able to obtain informa-tion suicient to make an appropriate di-agnosis.”

For now, Carolinas HealthCare ofers “Virtual Visit” only to patients physically located in North Carolina, partly because the system’s on-call providers are licensed only in North Carolina. But Rich and his Charlotte colleagues recently met with the S.C. Board of Medical Examiners to understand its policy if the hospital system decides to expand its virtual service.

Dr. Stephen Gardner, a Greenville neu-rosurgeon and chairman of the South Car-olina board, said “telemedicine is a very useful tool and not something that South Carolina is trying to restrict.” But there are conditions.

“It has to be a physician who’s licensed in the state and in good standing (working with) a patient who is established in that practice already. That means somebody in that practice has at some point examined and diagnosed the patient,” he said. “ ... You’ve got to have suicient information about that patient to reach a safe diagnosis before you prescribe or treat.”

Carolinas HealthCare’s “Virtual Vis-it” would be “totally within our policy,” Gardner said, because it involves patients established within the hospital system be-ing treated by hospital-based providers. In large physician groups, most doctors share on-call duties, covering for each other with patients they may not have met but whose records they can access.

“People will try to take advantage of this virtual medical portal,” Gardner said. “We can’t allow the fringe advantage-takers to disrupt safe care. … This is the future, and we’ve got to get it right.”

By Karen GarlochThe Charlotte Observer (TNS)

At her south Charlotte home one night in September, Beth Straeten got her kids to bed and grabbed her iPhone to download a new app. Within minutes, she was talking face-to-face with a physician assistant.

As Straeten described the poison ivy rash on her arms, PA Dim-ple Joshi sat across town at Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville, in front of two computer monitors. On one, Joshi could see Straeten and on the other she could read Straeten’s medical record.

Their conversation lasted for about 10 minutes, and Straeten came away with a prescription to help stop the itching, called in to her local drugstore.

This “Virtual Visit” cost Straeten $49 but allowed her to avoid a trip to the doctor’s oice or a long wait in an emergency room. It’s one of the latest conveniences emerging from Charlotte-area hospital systems and doctors groups as they embrace the world of electronic health records.

Home & Garden

Here’s the deal about gardening: It’s work.

No matter what you might read here or elsewhere, remember that gardening is not a walk in the park.

There are many ways to get to your goal, whether it’s having lots of pretty flowers or being able to enjoy vegetables and herbs from your kitchen gar-den.

S o m e m e t h o d s are easier than others, but all of them involve work unless your pockets are deep enough to hire someone to do everything but cut the flowers and pick the tomatoes. (We can dream, can’t we?)

When Evelyn Mosley started her first kitchen garden more than 20 years ago, she thought she could bypass an impor-tant and labor-intensive step: soil prepa-ration.

“I planted seeds on top of the soil in a bed, and nothing happened,” Mosley told members of the Memphis Herb Society last week.

Her husband, Phil Mosley, suggested she go to a seminar on herb gardening presented at the old Trees by Touliatos, a nursery near the airport that specialized in herbs and distinctive plants.

She learned how the beds should be prepared using a soil amendment blend recommend by the nursery’s herbalist, Ray Bennett. His recipe for a 32-square-foot plot included three bags of pine bark mulch or soil conditioner (3 cubic feet each); 10 pounds of composted cow ma-nure; 10 pounds of pelletized lime; three 5-gallon buckets coarse sand; and 1 bag (5.5 cubic feet) of peat moss.

He also advised digging up the exist-ing soil and blending in the amendments. Water the new soil, and let it rest for two days. Mix again. If it’s not too wet, it’s time to plant.

“Phil says he’s regretted mentioning the seminar ever since,” said Mosley,

who later joined the Herb society and served as its president.

That’s because he does a lot of the heavy chores in the garden such as build-ing raised beds and hauling and spread-ing mulch and soil amendments. I reiter-ate: Gardening is work.

Mosley had success with Bennett’s method but didn’t stop trying new tech-niques, most of which start with laying down a weed barrier of wet newspaper, a material that eventually will decompose with the help of hungry earthworms that are drawn to the taste of the pulpy paper.

She tried the “lasagna” method, which calls for layering organic materials such as shredded leaves, grass clippings and composted manure on top of the news-papers.

The materials eventually decompose to form a rich soil/compost layer, but you can plant in it right away.

“The tomatoes I planted in the lasa-gna layers were better than those in an existing bed with good soil,” Mosley reported.

One year, she tried “square foot gar-dening,” an intensive gardening tech-nique advocated by Mel Bartholomew.

The soil prep is similar to the lasagna technique, but then the gardener makes a grid with string or slats from old ve-netian blinds to form 12-inch-by-12-inch

planting squares.A tomato plant gets a square all to it-

self while a dozen or so radishes share the spot.

“Everything grew well, but the garden needs lots of water,” she said.

I had heard of these techniques and incorporated several of the steps into my own laid-back way of gardening.

But I didn’t know about “bag” garden-ing, which involves planting in a par-tially open bag of topsoil. Mississippi horticulturist Felder Rushing uses a variation of this method in the garden he grows in the back of his pickup just to prove that anyone can garden anywhere.

A few slits for drainage are made in the underside of the bag. Then the top of the bag is cut open, leaving a 2-inch border of plastic to keep the soil in place.

Seeds or seedlings are planted in the soil. A single tomato goes into one bag.

The visible soil is topped with mulch.When the season is over, dump the

soil onto the ground, and add some more amendments for next year’s garden.

Evelyn and Phil used railroad ties and landscape timbers to make their raised beds but now have beds edged with con-crete building blocks with capstones. Using hoops and row covers, they cre-ated a cozy spot for growing greens and other tough crops through the winter.

Erectile dysfunctionis a fact of life.Whether it occursdue to an accident, arecent surgery(prostate cancer is abiggie), diabetes, orsimply due to aging,the accompanyingloss of self esteemis something thateffects millionsof men every day.And in a nutshell,that seems to bethe problem - everyman’s ED problem isdifferent and requiresdifferent treatment.
