REAST CANCER IS THE SECOND MOST COMMON KIND OF CANCER IN WOMEN. ABOUT 1 IN 8 WOMEN BORN TODAY IN THE UNITED STATES WILL GET BREAST CANCER AT SOME POINT.
The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. A mammogram (the screening test for breast cancer) can help find breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. By raising awareness about breast cancer and breast cancer screenings — communities, organizations, and health professionals can work together to keep women healthy. Here in Acadiana, we are especially fortunate to have many high-skilled healthcare professionals and organizations that specialize in this area. In this issue we’re featuring two of those organizations. Miles Perret Cancer Services and Susan G. Komen – Acadiana.

Our mission is to address the non-medical needs of those fighting cancer.
Miles Perret Cancer Services HELPING FAMILIES FIGHT, SURVIVE, AND LIVE WITH CANCER By Sherry Hernandez Miles Perret Cancer Services
M
iles Perret Cancer Services opened its doors sixteen years ago with a vision of helping the local community fight, survive, and live with cancer. This place of hope and healing was created in memory of Miles Perret. Although Miles lived only eight years, his life was filled with curiosity, joy, and love and he left an impression on all who knew him. When Miles was diagnosed in 1995, his family determined right away that he would have as normal and carefree a life as possible. Their journey with him provided firsthand experience of the daily challenges families and individuals face when fighting cancer. Miles Perret Cancer Services was founded in 2002 to help others meet those challenges.
Miles Perret Cancer Services (MPCS) is a haven for individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer. Our goal is to meet the needs of cancer survivors and their families in a very personal way. We are here to provide emotional support, guidance, resources, programs, and most of all, HOPE. Our services are comprehensive regardless of age or circumstances and there are no qualifications. Thanks to the support of our generous community, all services are provided at no charge. All funding comes entirely from the generosity of individuals and businesses in our service area along with annual fundraisers including Games of Acadiana, MPCS Triathlon, Camellia Crossing & our community outreach programs including our Miles of Hope retail donation campaign & Change for Miles school program. Our mission is to address the non-medical needs of those fighting
cancer. Our in-house scope of services include wigs, hats, turbans, scarves, nutritional supplements, mastectomy bras, prostheses, medical supplies, durable medical equipment, treatment care kits, survivorship programs, patient navigation tools, resource library, and Wellness Center. At Miles Perret Cancer Services, we understand that cancer not only affects the individual, but also has an impact on the entire family. Along with services, MPCS also offers a variety of “family support” programs such as an annual back to school project, support groups, Christmas giving tree, creative expressions art classes, and SMILES for Miles family outings. From our humble beginnings, Miles Perret Cancer Services has grown to touch thousands of families in a 10-parish service area throughout Southwest Louisiana including Acadia,
Avoyelles, Evangeline, Iberia, Jeff Davis, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, & Vermilion. Our office is centrally located in Lafayette and we extend services to the outlying communities in Acadiana through our “Mobile Miles” unit. In recent years, MPCS has also implemented an outreach program which allows our services team to visit with clients in Lafayette parish treatment centers. We have developed great partnerships with the local cancer treatment facilities in our service area and have been truly blessed to develop programs that allow us to extend our mission to locations that are convenient for the families that we serve. We realize that our vision extends far beyond the doors of MPCS. With the help of over 1,200 volunteers annually and the support of our community, we hope to continue our mission of helping local families fight, survive, and live with cancer, with care and compassion. Since its inception, MPCS has helped over 15,000 families. We realize that the evidence of our success is not in numbers but in the lives that have been changed over the years. By taking control of their individual paths to wellness, our clients are empowered to think of themselves not as cancer patients but as survivors, and we are honored to be a part of each and every journey.

The Big Wigs Campaign 20
Susan G. Komen® & Komen Acadiana
Breast Cancer is #UNACCEPTABLE In 1980, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that
she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became the Susan G. Komen® organization and the beginning of a global movement. What was started with $200 and a shoebox full of potential donor names has now grown into the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer.
Today, the Acadiana Affiliate — commonly referred to as “Komen Acadiana” is an active part of that movement. Through events like the Acadiana Race for the Cure, and the BigWigs Campaign, the Acadiana Affiliate has invested $3.3 million in community breast cancer programs in the 19 parishes that make up Acadiana, Central & Southwest Louisiana. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by Komen Acadiana stays in their 19 parish service area. The remaining 25 percent funds national breast cancer research. 10 FACE | OCTOBER 2018
Komen Acadiana recently held their annual VIPink Fundraiser at the Pavilion at Cypress Bayou Casino Hotel where they announced this year’s 10 BigWigs participants. Each BigWigs has committed to raising breast health awareness throughout the month of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Along with raising awareness, each BigWig will be raising needed funds to help provide free screenings, including mammograms and diagnostic screenings, transportation, education, and treatment throughout the Komen Acadiana affiliate service area. Hopefully, you have a BigWig in your life–someone who reminds you what is and isn’t important in life. Someone who teaches gratitude and real
courage through their own challenges, and someone who gives you the opportunity to be a part of a bigger cause, finding a cure. THE BIGWIG CAMPAIGN WILL END AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER, 2018, where the 2018 “Biggest Wig” will be crowned. For more information on Komen Acadiana or any of their programs and fundraisers, call 337-993-5745 or visit www.komenacadiana.org.

UNSUNG HEROES # IntentionalPositivity
ARE YOU THE UNSUNG HERO IN YOUR PLACE OF WORK? Do you quietly get compensated (or passed over) for doing someone else’s job better than they could have while taking no credit for it? You’re not alone. If you’re a musical buff, you will likely know the name Marni Nixon. She is essentially uncredited with the vocals for some important movie roles, namely: Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady), Marilyn Monroe (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), Deborah Kerr (The King & I and An Affair to Remember), Natalie Wood (West Side Story and Gypsy) and Rita Moreno (West Side Story), to name a few. Marni made a fabulous living as a “ghost singer,” literally solidifying the success of some major blockbuster films of yesteryear. While she spent most of her career in the dubbing studio, she appeared onscreen as Sister Sophia in The Sound of Music, where she performed her own vocals and no one else’s. You can make just as important a contribution in your career as an UNSUNG hero while building others up to success. Marni Nixon passed away in 2016, and her vocal résumé is still one of the best in the business.
U SE your God-given talents on the job. You may have been hired to perform one skill, but you may possess another set of skills that can help your career. Be bold and share all of your blessings. Someone will definitely notice. N E VE R PA SS U P an opportunity to help your team to success. While our feelings can often get hurt at work, we are obligated to move forward to bring a team effort to success. There is no “I” in team, so continue to shine as part of the bigger project without regard for how it may reflect on you. SHO W U P for work, every day. Specifically, give your best effort every day. With the right “can do” attitude, you can accomplish ANYTHING. Sometimes we are scared to try new things because of a fear of failure. In most cases, however, it’s only a fear of the unknown that stops us. Try new things joyfully. You are likely more talented than you think. U N D E RSTA N D that every person you come in contact with gives you an opportunity to shine. Consider what could happen if you put forth your best effort with everyone you encounter each day – via email, texting, social media, phone, or in person. That’s a lot of people that are giving you an opportunity to shine. (Try being courteous in traffic.) N E G L IG E N CE will always come back to haunt you, so be careful to bring your “A” game in every situation. We are all human, so this one is tough. Try focusing your attention on one positive thing each day and seeing how often you can share your positivity. If you concentrate on genuinely smiling at each person you are in contact with during the day, your cheeks will likely hurt from the effort. Do it anyway. G U A RD against your own ego on the job. We all have the natural tendency to compete with others at work and in life. It’s human nature. However, when we work in harmony with one another, we all offer something unique to any job. You may not get compensated in dollars, but you WILL get noticed by someone who’s watching…and someone is always watching. Bring joy to your job and to yourself by “singing” like no one’s listening. When you “sing” from the heart, it’s certain that you will be rewarded in some way for your efforts. If you suppress your voice and talents on the job, however, someone else will be hired to “dub” over your voice. Entire careers have been made like this. Don’t let that happen. Laurie J. James is one of the only 12 Master Career Directors globally. She co-founded and presided over the Professional Resume Writing and Research Association from 2000-2004.

Meaningful Ways to Connect Generations During the Holidays D
URING THE HOLIDAYS, FRIENDS AND FAMILIES GATHER TO CELEBRATE AND SPEND TIME TOGETHER. This is a wonderful opportunity to create meaningful connections between people of different ages. However, it’s not uncommon to struggle with how exactly to do this when those of different generations, political and cultural beliefs, and religious backgrounds often seem worlds apart. If you’re looking for thoughtful ways to connect all generations of your family, from the youngest to the oldest, and bypass divisive topics these smart ideas will inspire.
PASSING DOWN TRADES AND TRADITIONS Older generations have wisdom, experience and many traditions to share with those willing to learn. Talk with loved ones about their favorite traditions and then ask which they could teach to family. You might be surprised what older generations cherish as traditions.
Bake a time-honored recipe together.
For example, consider organizing a time for everyone to bake a time-honored recipe together. Perhaps it’s learning a holiday tradition that provides a cultural experience that younger generations have never done. It also could even be teaching a classic skill such as woodworking, knitting or calligraphy. Keeping an open mind and trying something new together is guaranteed to be a bonding experience.
PLAN A GAME OR MOVIE NIGHT Games and movies are timeless activities that appeal as much to Grandma as they do to your 5-year-old. By planning a game or movie night, you’ll bring everyone together for a good time. Consider finding a board game or movie that was popular when you or your parents were kids so everyone enjoys their time together. To make the day even more special, shop for old-fashioned candy and snacks that spark nostalgia. You may have to order some items online, but it’s worth the effort because everyone will think it’s fun to sample the treats that were popular during different decades. Bring everyone together with games and movies. 20 FACE | OCTOBER 2018
One way to spur conversation with loved ones is with the Atria StoryWise companion app, available free. Check out AtriaStoryWise.com.
STORYTELLING AND ARCHIVING One of the most meaningful ways people of different generations can connect is through sharing stories. Sometimes you just need a little help getting the conversation started. That’s why Atria Senior Living, inspired by its residents, created Atria StoryWise, a curated collection of cards featuring thoughtfully selected topics and cues designed to spark memories and fuel conversation. You can spur conversation with loved ones in a similar manner with the Atria StoryWise companion app, available free to everyone. Instantly access intriguing topics to encourage meaningful conversation, plus the app allows you to record, share and keep the stories – and voices – of family and friends forever.
Stories about ancestors are always interesting.
A FEW CONVERSATION STARTER EXAMPLES FROM THE APP WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE THE SECRET TO A LONG LIFE YOUR IDEA OF A PERFECT DAY A VALUE YOU’D LIKE TO PASS ON TO FUTURE GENERATIONS
One of the most meaningful ways people of different generations can connect is through sharing stories.
FLIP THROUGH PHOTO ALBUMS AND SCRAPBOOKS There’s nothing like a nostalgic image to get people talking. Whether it’s a photo featuring childhood friends, a school portrait or wedding images, a picture is truly worth a thousand words. Dig out those old photo albums and flip through them with the entire family. Another worthwhile activity that brings generations together is making a scrapbook. You can use old images or focus on recent pictures, but collaborating on a craft is time well spent. If you prefer, use a digital scrapbook program to organize photos. Whatever path you choose, take notes of who is in the image and any fun stories that go along with them. This is what turns a typical photo album into a cherished keepsake. Use these ideas to transform your next holiday into one filled with memories. You’ll inspire new connections between family members as you laugh, love and live life to the fullest. (BPT) Dig out those old photo albums and flip through them with the entire family.

Does My Precious Baby Need Time-Out? Children like attention from their parents. However, attention can
includes things like praise, hugs, and high-fives. Negative attention
be both positive and negative. Positive attention is used to show
lets your child know you do not like what they have done. Negative
your child they have done something you like. Positive attention
attention includes things like scolding, correcting, and yelling.
If you’re having trouble implementing this strategy effectively, contact your child’s pediatrician or healthcare provider They will be happy to direct you. You can improve your child’s behavior by how you give attention. If you give your child any attention after a behavior, that behavior is more likely to happen again. Time-out works because it takes away all of your attention and other things your child likes when they misbehave.
1.
Explain time-out to your child before using it. Tell your child which behaviors will lead to time-out, where time-outs will happen, and how time-out will be used. You can also practice time-out with your child so they know how it will work.
2.
Limit time-outs with toddlers and preschoolers. Use time-out if your child does something dangerous or harmful like hurting others, fails to follow a direction, or breaks a family rule. Use other types of consequences for other problem behaviors. Time-outs last between 2 and 5 minutes for toddlers and preschoolers.
3.
Select a time-out location where your child cannot get attention from anyone. The location should be away from TV, games, toys, or other things your child likes.
4.
Time-out can be used anywhere. You can even use it away from home. You can use a time-out blanket as a time-out location when you’re in public.
Many parents and medical experts recommend using Time-Out as an effective way to discipline your child. If you’re not familiar with the proper techniques of using Time-Out, here are some great tips provided by the CDC’s “Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers” program.

HERE IS A BABY PROOFING CHECKLIST WHICH WILL GET YOU STARTED FROM INFANCY THROUGH THOSE HAIR-RAISING TODDLER YEARS, WHEN THEY SEEM TO GET INTO EVERYTHING! 1. BABY MONITOR Starting with their very first day home from the hospital, you will want to keep a constant eye (and ear) on their breathing. Whether they’re sleeping in their own room or you need to run to the bathroom or the laundry room for one minute, keeping a monitor on and handy at all times will let you know immediately if they are suffering any distress.
2. STAIR GUARD AND GATES Once the child becomes active, a staircase presents one of the greatest risks in the household. If your home has a set of stairs or steps, invest in staircase barricades or gates that will prevent your little one from going down head first. They can also double as room dividers to keep them out of areas where there are lots of dangerous or delicate objects, like the kitchen or the living room.
Baby Proofing Your Home
11 Must Do’s to Keep Your Home Safe
W
hen you are getting your home ready for a new baby, it’s exciting and fun to pick out the colors for the nursery and choose an assortment of cuddly toys. No matter your style, the most important factor in decorating your little one’s room–and in fact the whole house–is safety. Many parents recommend putting together a baby proofing checklist prior to baby’s arrival, so that you and your house are as ready as can be for the new bundle of joy. 36 FACE | OCTOBER 2018
3. SECURITY SYSTEM A good security system is imperative for a home with a new baby, and for any family at all who wants to be sure they are safe from intruders. Many security systems now may be remotely activated through an app, so you can check in while you are away. If you are nervous about the new babysitter, these security systems will allow you to take a peek to make sure everything is going well at home.
4. DRAWER CATCHES AND CABINET LOCKS Little fingers get into everything! You may discover that your toddler’s curiosity leads to some pretty risky adventures. Make sure your knives and other sharp objects are secured in drawers that have a special catch or similar safety feature. You should also protect any prescription medications you might keep in bathroom drawers. Lock up your cleaning supplies and other hazardous chemicals.
Cabinet locks are also important to prevent kids from using the armoire as a jungle gym. Youngsters may try to climb large pieces of furniture to reach the pretty things they see inside. They not only run the risk of breaking things, but they can even pull the entire heavy piece of furniture on top of themselves!
5. OUTLET COVERS Electrical outlets are fascinating to little ones, and they are often right at eye level. Don’t let your little one get electrocuted by sticking their finger into these devices. There are plenty of inexpensive plastic covers that can be placed directly into the outlets to deter little hands.
6. TOILET LOCKS Kids do seem attracted to the most germ-laden spots in the home, don’t they? Toddlers quickly develop a fascination for the potty, long before they are even close to using it for what it’s made to be used for. You need to find efficient latches which prevent your little one from bathing the dog in the bowl, or slamming it down of their fingers.
7. TABLE EDGES Many grownups will show you their scar on their eyebrow, gained from an unfortunate run-in with a coffee table during their formative years. Luckily, nowadays you can purchase soft, cushy corner covers which will soften the blow when baby’s head comes into contact with the sharp edge.
If you have a working fireplace, wood burning or gas stove in your house, you should always have a fire extinguisher handy. Stray sparks can cause irreparable damage. Always keep proper fire extinguishing equipment on each floor of the house, and make sure the batteries in your fire detectors are up to date!
10. COMPLIANT CRIBS Sadly, not all cribs and baby beds are made with the highest safety standards. Check to see if the bed you are considering has slats spaced in such a way that a child’s head will not get stuck in between them. The best products will have a certification sticker from a trusted organization like the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association. You may want to use the heirloom cradle made by your great-grandfather, but sometimes modern furniture is the safest choice for your precious infant.
11. CURTAIN PULLS Another hidden danger to children are the curtains and window dressings that may hang close to their cribs. Be careful of any strings or cords which might get accidentally looped around their necks. For more information, visit www.safekids.org or www.dps.state.la.us (click on Highway Safety) or call (225) 925-6991 (LHSC) or (504) 568-2508 (SAFE KIDS).
8. CAR SEAT Safety must extend beyond the home, and it is the law in Louisiana that a child under the age of 6 weighing less than 60 lbs and being less than 4’ 9” tall must be strapped into a regulation-compliant car seat if they are riding in an automobile. A child may ride in an approved belt-positioning booster seat if they are between 4 to 6 year old.
9. FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Part of keeping children safe is not only preventing the accidents they themselves may cause. You also want to protect them from the random “acts of God” that can hurt them, like fires, floods, and other disasters.

Enjoying Louisiana’s Fall Outdoor Adventures Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or a nature lover, you are likely going to be taking full advantage of the great fall weather by getting outdoors this season. Before heading out, consider the following tips to make the most of your time. Get a Head Start Before heading out for that long-awaited outdoor trek, remember that weekend warriors and day trippers are all going to be out on those same roads with you, so get an early morning start to take full advantage of every daylight hour. Depending on the length of your journey, you may want to pack some food and beverages for the car to avoid stops and get to your destination sooner.

Gear Up and Plan Ahead
Treat it Like a Workout
Be it a day or weekend excursion. Weather conditions, terrain, distance, known hazards, you and your partner’s skill level are all things to consider before heading out. In addition to food and water, you should consider bringing or wearing water resistant clothing, a backpack, dry socks, matches, portable GPS, mosquito repellent, suntan lotion, and anything else that won’t overload you.
Remember that active time spent outdoors is like any other workout. Hydration is key, as is a proper warm up and cool down. Be sure to do a dynamic stretch routine before getting started and long static stretches before climbing back in the car. Stay fueled and encourage muscle repair with easy-to-pack foods that are nutritious, protein rich and easy to digest, particularly if you plan to engage in any rigorous activity.
Remember, some state parks in Louisiana do not have cell phone service, so let a family member or close friend know your trip plans, so if you don’t return home in time, they’ll know to alert the authorities.
Don’t let fall pass you by without getting outdoors to enjoy the season. A few simple strategies can help you make more of your time.

TRAVEL
The Faith Trail of Port Arthur Traveling around America, I’m always amazed at the strange hidden gems lurking around every corner. I love the quirky ones, the weird attractions, the unusual sites. In Port Arthur, Texas, however, what’s unique doubles as comfort. T he sleepy Texas city just south of Beaumont and almost to the Gulf is home to the awesome Janis Joplin exhibit at the Museum of the Gulf Coast (not to mention artwork by native Robert Rauschenberg), great outdoors fun on Pleasure Island and Sea Rim Park and the Pompeiian Villa built by Texas’ “Barbed Wire King.” All great attractions, mind you, but what really fascinated me was the “Port Arthur Faith Trail,” which features three massive statues. The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe at 3648 Staff Sgt. Lucian Adams Drive is a 17-foot bronze statue of Mary next to the Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church. Created by artist Miguel Angel Macias from Mexico City and Texas sculptor Douglas Clark, the statue is set upon rocks that church parishioners brought back from Mount Tepeyac in Mexico City. It was here that Juan Diego experienced 42 FACE | OCTOBER 2018

a vision of the Virgin Mary. A 7-foot bronze statue of St. Juan Diego, sculpted by the same artists, sits at the bottom of the Port Arthur shrine, a penitent man gazing up at Mary with hands crossed. Literally about a mile down Ninth Street is the Vietnamese Queen of Peace Shrine and Gardens, where another larger-than-life statue of Mary exists, this time in Hoa-Binh or an area of peace. According to CatholicPlaces. org, the 20-foot-tall Mary and shrine were created in gratitude for the congregations’ “escape from Asia and the city which welcomed them.” The Queen of Peace stands atop the Earth, one foot resting by Vietnam. Both churches allow visitation to their statues at no charge but daylight hours apply. In the center of town at 2701 Proctor lies the Buu Mon Buddhist temple, which moved to Port Arthur from Orange, Texas, in 1986. The Buddhists remodeled the former Vietnamese Catholic church, building stupa where there was once a steeple and installing a 7-foot-tall bronze Buddha seated in front of a fresco mural of a Bodhi tree on a river’s shore. The Port Arthur Buu Mon Buddhist Temple is known worldwide for its tropical and hardy lotuses and water lilies, along with other species in its garden areas around the temple. They offer an annual Garden Tour in June, but are available through the rest of the growing season for private tours. Call ahead for an appointment at 409-982-9319 or 409 543-2803. Donations welcomed. For more information, visit www.buumon.org. Originally from New Orleans,
