EDITOR’S DESK OCTOBER 2014

My grandmother periodically drove the 33 miles from her home to my father’s home to stay a few days, cook, fawn over her grandchildren, and ‘visit’. Even as her health began to deteriorate, she continued to make the trek even at the behest of her son. Like so many women of that generation, she seldom asked for assistance; she did not want to be ‘fussed over’.

On one of those rare occasions, she called for me to help her from the bathtub. As I entered the room, I was shocked to see that at some point earlier in her life that she had undergone a mastectomy. I did not question her (or my father) for fear of invading her privacy. Although it made me sad, it was clearly something she had not wanted to share, and in my early 20s, I was not yet aware of future implications. Years later, when my annual checkup questions turned to family medical history, I realized that I was ill-equipped to answer some of the questions. I had to assume ‘yes’ for history of breast cancer. When I asked my father about family history, he was not aware of his mother’s story. Even a resilient woman, stoic in adversity, should not feel the need to endure the fear, sadness, anger, depression and associated medical questions of something so intensely traumatic without a support network. Women today do not have to feel that same loneness. Whether they reach out to family, their faith, or the many loving support groups available to them, they do not have to be alone. Breast Cancer Awareness has removed the stigma and has saved countless lives in the process. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So be aware, check your risk factors, schedule your mammograms, remind your family or be someone to lean on for those in need.

ACADIANA LIFE

Action is Heating Up in the Acadiana Film Industry By Nicole LaCour There is a quiet revolution happening in Louisiana. The film and entertainment industry is booming and is now a major player on an international scale. A recent study by Film L.A., a non-profit group, named Louisiana as ‘the film production capital of the world’. Of the 108 major films produced in 2013, 18 were substantially produced in Louisiana, including Oscar-winning, Twelve Years a Slave and Dallas Buyers Club. Since 2006 over 300 films and television productions were made in Louisiana. With productions like Battleship, American Horror Story, Terminator 5, Jurassic World and Fantastic Four, to name only a few being made in the state, Louisiana is reaping the benefits of a 12-year strategy to entice the industry here. With productions increasing each year, Louisiana is on the right track. But, what does it take to be a filmmaker’s paradise and how is Louisiana and Lafayette staying competitive in this lucrative market? Producing film and television requires many ingredients: talent, content, infrastructure, locations, climate, an amenable community and most of all—money, or at least the ability to save a lot of money.

Money In 2002 the Louisiana legislature passed an aggressive and competitive tax incentive program targeting the entertainment industry, including film and television production, animation, interactive media and live performances. In the following years the policy was tweaked, making it even more effective. Moratoriums and caps were eliminated, the incentive percentage was increased and, most importantly, the tax credits became transferable. The incentive program offers tax credits at about a 30% rate that can be used to pay Louisiana tax liability. Most municipalities, including Lafayette, built on these policies by 8 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

The Market of Tax Incentives Tax incentives are not discounts on capital expenditures. The way the incentives work is for every dollar spent in Louisiana, with conditions, the states gives a company a percentage of that dollar in a voucher-like credit that can be used to pay off individual or corporate state tax liability. So, if a company spends $100 million dollars, they can earn $30 million in tax credits, with Louisiana’s 30% rate. Initially, this incentive was less attractive since most companies did not accrue any substantial Louisiana tax liability. When the credits became transferable, a method of turning them into cash was established and a market was created around the buying and selling of incentive tax credits. So, a credit of $30 million can be sold for say, 85% of its value to a third party vendor or broker. The credit holder turns his voucher into cash and the vendor can sell the credit to someone who owes taxes to the state. A client buys the credit at say, 90% of its value and saves a substantial amount of money, while meeting 100% of the tax liability. The vendor is left with a 5% profit. Additionally, the state offers to buy back the credit at 85 cents on the dollar. So, if a production company spends $100 million dollars in Louisiana (meeting all the conditions and limitations), they can potentially get $25.5 million dollars back in cash, a substantial savings on capital expense. These incentives are relatively painless for the state since the revenue and economic development generated by the industry outweighs the loss in tax liability income. According to the Office of Entertainment Industry Development, in 2012 the state’s entertainment industry generated an estimated $770.6 million dollars in household earnings, 15,184 jobs were created and $53.9 million was generated for the state government. The incentives are working.

offering breaks on payroll taxes, permitting fees, location fees and sales tax, sweetening the deal for production companies. This tax incentive program is the primary reason the industry is flourishing here. So much so, that California is taking notice and recently upped the ante, strengthening it’s own tax incentive program in an attempt to get back some of the work lost to places like Louisiana, Georgia, Michigan, New York and Canada. But if Louisiana hopes to be more than the place Hollywood comes to produce films, it will need more than tax credits. It will need investors. Louisiana professionals want to create content and make movies here, too. For that they need more people willing to take the risk of financing projects. Tax incentives are meaningless without capital investment. To be successful, entertainment productions may need to be the next oil wells of Louisiana investment opportunities. This is especially true for small budget and documentary filmmakers who don’t always directly benefit from the tax incentive program. With grant funding shrinking each year, Louisiana’s filmmaking artists are turning more to private investors.

Talent and Infrastructure

Film and television need more than actors, writers, directors and producers. Productions need set designers and carpenters, gaffers and grippers, camera operators and costume designers, administrative assistants, locations managers and the list goes on and on. Those jobs require a different set of skills and understanding than traditional vocations of our area. To foster and nurture the education needed to build that workforce pool several educational programs and community organizations have established themselves in Louisiana and Lafayette, specifically. Our city government houses the Lafayette Entertainment Initiative (LEI), a department designed to nurture and facilitate entertainment productions in our area. (lafayetteentertainment.org) UL has a bachelor’s program in Moving Image Arts and South Louisiana Community College offers classes in film studies. More importantly, community organizations such as CREATE and film festivals like Southern Screen Film Festival and Cinema on the Bayou are building a culture of industry professionals. With CREATE, Yvette and Marcus

Brown founded a community incubator where potential writers, directors, actors and industry craftspeople can collaborate, network, learn and grow together. Lafayette’s two film festivals go beyond screenings of innovative, independent films and offer workshops and networking opportunities with seasoned professionals in the industry descending upon Lafayette to meet local talent. The state’s incentive program included provisions for stage and production studios. The result is places like Celtic Media Center in Baton Rouge, Second Line Stages in New Orleans and Stage Works in Shreveport. The animation studio Pixel Magic, whose work includes films like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Secretariat and The Chronicles of Narnia has an office in Lafayette.

Location

The second best incentive Louisiana has is our landscape. Despite our grueling, humid summers, production can be scheduled year round here. The diversity of settings including forests, swamps, historic homes, urban and suburban Americana and a variety of rural landscapes allows storytellers to adapt our environment to almost any setting. And then there’s the unique culture and friendly atmosphere. It’s got to be more fun to film in Louisiana with our enticing cuisine and love of life. What culture could be more accommodating and friendly than ours?

Culture

All of these ingredients add up to one big thing, the culture of an industry. The film and television industry, born in Hollywood has its own methods, its own ideology and ways of being. Louisianans will need to not only learn that culture but adapt and add to it using our own amazing ways of being and understanding of the world. With continued education, infrastructure building and openness, Louisiana is poised to continue to be a major player in the world of entertainment. And with an active and engaging community of small filmmakers and major industry players, Lafayette is giving places like Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Shreveport a run for its money as a place for entertainment production.

So You Want to Be in Show Business?

There are several ways to become involved in Louisiana’s entertainment industry. Lafayette Entertainment Initiative’s website (lafayetteentertainment.org) functions as a database for potential actors, writers and other professionals. You can add your profile to the database and automatically be included in the Louisiana Entertainment database. (louisianaentertainment.gov). The LEI website also has a calendar of community events, casting call announcements and information on the latest productions. You can also list your property as a potential location.

Marcus Brown and Maria Burton

Marcus Lyle Brown One of Lafayette’s most accomplished actors, Marcus Brown, has over 60 television and film appearances under his belt. He’s witnessed the growth of Louisiana’s entertainment industry and helped Lafayette establish community organizations such as LEI and educational curricula like South Louisiana Community College’s film studies. Now a director and producer Marcus has his own production company, Believe Entertainment, with such films as A Sort of Homecoming and Dirt Road to Lafayette. With his wife, Yvette, Marcus is active in building a community of networking and education, working to grow the talent base in Lafayette and Louisiana. Believe Entertainment offers classes through their BEAT program and the newly formed CREATE group (find them on Facebook at CREATEAcadiana) provides a place where potential industry professionals can go to meet seasoned professionals for practical learning, networking and encouragement. Like many of his peers Marcus is one example of a gifted intellect not lost to California or New York, thanks to an industry that is flourishing here at home.

Matt Bell When Matt Bell knew he wanted to be a cinematographer, he assumed he’d had to leave his beloved Louisiana and move to a place like Los Angeles or New York. By the time he graduated from UL the entertainment industry was booming and he was able to stay here, finding work in Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Shreveport. Today he has his own production company, Fable House. Matt sees the Louisiana industry in transition. “It started with outside companies coming here for production but none of the key work, the directors, the writers, the owners of the intellectual property were from here. Now, it’s transitioning to more content being created here in Louisiana and produced in Louisiana.” For Matt, the reputation Louisiana has as an industry hub meant he gets to remain immersed in the culture he loves. He credits the emerging industry with that gift. “Saying you’re from Louisiana means something now.”

Enhancing your face requires the skill of a surgeon and the eye of an artist. Making skin smooth and tight again is only a part of facial plastic surgery. Also, consider the balance and proportions of your face – the relationship of your chin, nose, eyes and ears to your total appearance. Adjusting this balance creates a face that is more youthful, more delicately shaped, more gently perfected. You want to look better, not different.

Misty Talley

Donna Chance

A case study in the individual impact of the emerging industry, Misty Talley hasn’t seen a lull in work from film and television editing since becoming involved in the craft. Misty, a fine arts graduate in the Visual Arts Media program at UL, was hoping to be a video installation artist when she discovered the film industry. “Editing became this great new thing for me. It uses all my skill sets.” She’s worked on productions for the Syfy channel, Lifetime and documentary work from local filmmakers. Misty said she usually has about 5 feature-length projects going at once, most produced in Louisiana. She does it all from her home in Lafayette where she teaches editing at UL, helping to grow a home base of talent for the industry. Misty recently shifted her focus from editing to directing and her second short film ‘Ten to Sing’ was accepted to the Cannes Film Festival’s short films corner.

Donna Chance has worked in the film business for over 28 years. She has been working as a Key Set Costumer, Costumer Supervisor and Costume Designer in Louisiana since the late 80’s, before there was even a film union in the state. “I have worked in New York and Los Angeles, and other parts of the U.S. and the world,” shares Donna, “but I love doing film work in Louisiana.”

12 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

Previously, film workers had to have other jobs and degrees to support themselves as did Donna, a graduate of UL Lafayette in Public Relations. After the state started the tax incentives program, that all changed. Many times there was more work than the existing film workers could handle. Now there is a large crew base that is very professional and highly sought after. Productions began realizing in the last several years that Louisiana has the talent and professionals for all the key positions on a movie.“You work with many of the same people over and over and I love that we are so supportive of one another; we are like one big film family.”

enjoy it. Her non-industry friends always laugh when she says, “We are in prep for the movie so we are ONLY doing 12 hour days right now.” Her normal day on a movie when filming is 15 or 16 hours long. But, when finished, she can take a break between movies to recharge. “You can’t do film work unless you have a true passion for it. My Uncle Joe had one of the first film studios ever in New Orleans and he was recruiting people to film in our state before anyone was filming movies here. He has been doing union film work here for 50 years and was a pioneer in bringing filmmakers to our great state. And like many other film professionals in our state, he was willing to share his knowledge and his equipment with those wanting to learn the business of filmmaking, especially the generation of filmmakers that were up and coming.”

Oftentimes Donna recommends other costumers for jobs that she cannot work, many of whom reciprocate. “That kind of support is not present in all film regions and I could not imagine doing film work without that kind of support.”

Donna has worked on many, many movies but her favorite was Because of Winn Dixie. “I just loved working with all the children and the animals. It was a sweet movie and I loved every minute of it. A movie that I was really proud to have worked on was Ray about the life of Ray Charles. It was a hard and challenging movie every single day but when I went to the premiere and saw what we all accomplished, it made me realize that the hard work and really long hours paid off.”

People often think that film work is glamorous, but spend one day on a set and you will understand the amount of hard work, long hours, and sometimes harsh conditions that film workers endure to make sure that the director’s vision makes it onto the big screen so that the public can

Donna has been offered film work in other states but chooses to be in Louisiana because of all that our state offers not only for her film career but for her personal life. “I am proud to be a member of the Louisiana film community and proud to call Louisiana home.”

HEALTH MATTERS

Risk Factors for Breast Cancer Angelina Jolieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to have a bilateral mastectomy has led to high interest in the causes of breast cancer. Jolie carries a mutation of one of two genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2, which gives her an 80 percent chance of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. These genes normally prevent breast cancer, but if they mutate and become abnormal, they no longer function, leading to a higher risk of breast cancer. Approximately 12% of women carry one of these genes. The mutation also increases the risk of breast cancer in men and ovarian, pancreatic and colon cancers. The breast cancers caused by the BRAC1 gene abnormality tend to be estrogen-receptor-negative. This means using treatments to remove estrogen are not as effective as chemotherapy. The BRAC2 gene is associated with tumors that require estrogen, so when this gene is mutated, anti-estrogen treatment is more effective.

You should be screened for these genes if many close family members, often before age 50, have had breast cancer; if there is a family history of both breast and ovarian cancers, particularly if they have occurred in one individual; if a relative has had cancer in both breasts; or if a male relative has had the disease. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to identify an abnormal gene early, and because of the high risk of cancer, many women are electing to have a bilateral mastectomy. These days all breast tissue can be removed, leaving behind the skin and areola. With an implant, the breasts can look perfectly normal. Doctors will advise some woman with the BRAC2 abnormality to have an oophorectomy, a surgical procedure to remove one or both of the ovaries, to reduce the risk of breast cancer by 72%

Every woman should have an annual diagnostic mammogram beginning at age 25 or 10 years before the age at which breast cancer developed in a relative. Women should consider breast exams every six months, and they should learn self-examination techniques. 14 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

For women with the BRAC2 gene, treatment with tamoxifen, which blocks the effects of estrogen on breast tissue, reduces the risk of breast cancer by 62%, if the disease did not occur before age 35. BRAC1 gene-positive women showed no reduction in breast cancer risk by treatment with this drug. Deciding on a treatment plan is very personal for any woman. Certainly anti-estrogen treatment is essential for women with the BRAC2 gene abnormality.

And every woman should have an annual diagnostic mammogram beginning at age 25 or 10 years before the age at which breast cancer developed in a relative. Women should consider breast exams every six months, and they should learn self-examination techniques. Anyone with the gene should visit a cancer center and consider participating in clinical trials to help reduce breast cancer risk.

Live a heart-healthy lifestyle, eat right, exercise, make sure you are not exposed to chemicals causing breast cancer, and have mammograms regularly so you can minimize your chances of breast cancer.

Even if you do not have the gene, you should know what you can do to reduce breast cancer risk. There is a strong link between age and breast cancer. More than 75% of all cancers occur in women older than 50, and the number is almost twice as high after the age of 60. More than one close relative with the disease increases the risk, particularly if breast cancer developed prior to menopause. If a relative has had the disease in more than one breast, the risk of developing it increases fourfold to eightfold. Having had breast cancer increases the risk of a second breast cancer threefold to fourfold.

Breast cancer is more frequent in those who had menarche at an early age, menopause at an older age, didn’t have children or had only one child at a late age. Hormone-replacement therapy after the menopause increases the risk. This has received much attention recently, with studies suggesting that taking estrogen and progesterone not only increases the risk of breast and uterine cancer but also increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. Many women, nevertheless, still elect to use this treatment to prevent menopausal symptoms. However, if you already have an increased risk of breast cancer, you should avoid hormone-replacement therapy. A sedentary lifestyle, high-fat diet, obesity, excessive alcohol intake and certain chemicals in cosmetics are all associated with a greater risk of breast cancer. Live a heart-healthy lifestyle, eat right, exercise, make sure you are not exposed to chemicals causing breast cancer, and have mammograms regularly so you can minimize your chances of breast cancer.

HEALTH MATTERS Someone to Lean On As a breast cancer survivor, you turn to others who are dealing with or went through similar experiences. Support groups are important because they help you feel less lonely, isolated or judged. You gain a sense of empowerment and control over a cancer diagnosis by improving your coping skills and sense of adjustment to all the physical and mental changes. Speaking openly and honestly about your feelings helps to reduce stress, depression or anxiety. It is important to develop a clearer understanding of what to expect with your situation by getting practical advice or information about treatment options and comparing notes about resources, such as doctors and alternative options.

Stacey LeBlanc My name is Stacey LeBlanc. I'm 41 years old and was diagnosed with breast cancer on May 2, 2014. No words can describe the feeling of being told that you have cancer. I feel it is all about keeping a positive mind set and taking each day as a new day. It's definitely an emotional journey. The biggest initial impact was losing my hair. I had a two-hour pity party then decided to let my 10-year-old son cut my hair and shave my head. We made it fun. I tried wearing a wig, but it takes my personality away from me. I laughed, and told my friends “I feel like Dolly Parton going to prom!” My family and friends are my biggest support system, but most of all, my faith is what keeps me stronger than ever. I know that God is using me as a testimony to many women. This journey has taught me so much about myself. I never thought I would go around bald, but I have chosen to rock the bald head and be bold and courageous! I am in a support group and we meet once a month. It's awesome to meet women who share the same diagnosis, feelings, and walk as you. Go Pink Ribbon Divas! 20 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

Lisa M Roy I was lucky enough to find a support group in Lafayette for young breast cancer survivors to meet, discuss familiar issues, and to share trials and tribulations with. The Pink Ribbon Divas is a support group I found for young breast cancer survivors in the area. It is open to the public for anyone who has or who has had breast cancer. This kind of support is so important to patients currently going through treatment or to someone who is trying to recover and move on after treatment. There were people who truly understood what I was going through and we could share the type of practical insights that can only come from firsthand experience. While there are very important discussions, there were many times that there was just laughter that filled the room. I am not sure if my journey would have been so bearable if I had not found this group of wonderful, strong, brave ladies. They were and continue to be my support system three years later.

Carla Carr My name is Carla Carr, a stage 4 breast cancer survivor diagnosed in October 2010. I endured a grueling year of treatment including seven months of chemotherapy, three surgeries, and 40 days of radiation, and then enjoyed three and a half years with no evidence of cancer in my body. In June of this year, my annual scans showed bone metastases to my left hip and my skull. I have recently had surgery to remove the spot on my skull and am currently undergoing radiation for my hip. I am a single mother of four amazing children: Bailey (18), Zeb (15), Noah (8), and Levi (5), work full time for the Breast Center of Acadiana, and volunteer on the Board for the Institute for Breast Health and the Breast Center of Acadiana Foundation. Through all of this, including a divorce after cancer, I can say I am truly thankful to God. Not thankful for cancer, of course, but for what it has brought to my life. When I was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer in 2010, I was a stay at home, homeschooling mom with my youngest still nursing. My prayer every second was “Please don’t let me die, God”. One night, I awoke and immediately prayed “Not my will, but yours God”. At first, I wanted to retract that prayer, but I quickly realized that giving all of my worries to God was the most freeing decision I could make. The sense of peace that enveloped me at that very moment continues to this day. I know that whatever is supposed to happen will happen, and that my job is to live life every single day and to not worry, just live. I wish someone had guided me to that decision a bit earlier. I have always been a very independent person, not wanting to ask for help. Cancer forced me to accept help, because I could not have made it through without the amazing support of my family, my church, and my friends. That would definitely be my main piece of advice to someone newly diagnosed. Let people help you. If they offer to bring food, let them. If they ask what you need, tell them. Let them pray for you and with you.

I resisted going to a support group, because I thought I was going to walk into a room of crying women bemoaning their cancer status. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the Miles Perret breast cancer support group to a room full of laughing, joyous women. I loved getting to know other survivors, hearing their stories, and just being in a room full of people who knew what I was going through. I soon joined a new group for young survivors at the Breast Center of Acadiana, the Pink Ribbon Divas. This group of women are the most beautiful, courageous, giving, hilarious, loving people I know, and I feel so blessed to call them my friends. It is essential to have that support, someone you can ask crazy questions to without embarrassment, only to find that you are not alone. We have laughed and cried together, and involved ourselves in giving back to the community and helping other survivors. One of the easiest ways to get over feeling sorry for yourself is to think about someone else, and how you could help them. People always talk about what cancer destroys, what it takes away. Some may even talk about what cancer can never take away, like love, your faith, and true friendship. Not many speak of what cancer can give you. Cancer can give you a new perspective on life, helping you to prioritize what is truly important. Cancer can give you courage, to get out of an abusive relationship or try a new career. Cancer can open doors for you, and give you opportunities to tell your story, share your faith, and help someone else. Cancer can give you new friends who become the best you’ve ever had. The Bible commands us “In everything, give thanks”. This doesn’t mean just in good times, but is especially important in trying times. There is always something, and sometimes many things, to be thankful for.

NATIONAL DENTAL HYGIENE MONTH

An Ounce of Prevention Dentists say that the most important part of tooth care happens at home. Brushing and flossing properly, along with regular dental checkups, can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. If you’re like most people, you don’t exactly look forward to facing a dentist’s drill. So wouldn’t it be better to prevent cavities before they begin?

Drink Away Your Cavities? Fluoride helps keep teeth strong, especially in kids and teens. Many towns add fluoride to drinking water, but not all do. If you live in an area that does not have enough fluoride in the water, your dentist will probably recommend that you take a supplement. Using a mouthwash that contains fluoride can help somewhat.

22 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

Giving Plaque the Brush-Off To prevent cavities, you need to remove plaque, the transparent layer of bacteria that coats the teeth. The best way to do this is by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. Brushing also stimulates the gums, which helps to keep them healthy and prevent gum disease. Brushing and flossing are the most important things that you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Toothpastes contain abrasives, detergents, and foaming agents. Fluoride, the most common active ingredient in toothpaste, is what prevents cavities. So you should always be sure your toothpaste contains fluoride. About 1 person in 10 has a tendency to accumulate tartar quickly. Tartar is plaque in a hardened form that is more damaging and difficult to remove. Using anti-tartar

toothpastes and mouthwashes, as well as spending extra time brushing the teeth near the salivary glands (the inside of the lower front teeth and the outside of the upper back teeth) may slow the development of new tartar. If you have teeth that are sensitive to heat, cold, and pressure, you may want to try a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. But you’ll still need to talk to your dentist about your sensitivity because it may indicate a more serious problem, such as a cavity or nerve inflammation (irritation). Tips on Proper Brushing Dentists say that the minimum time you should spend brushing your teeth is 2 minutes twice a day. Here are some tips on how to brush properly: Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle against your gumline. Gently brush from where the tooth and gum meet to the chewing surface in short (about half-a-tooth-wide) strokes. Brushing too hard can cause receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and, over time, loose teeth. Use the same method to brush all outside and inside surfaces of your teeth.

Brushing Up The toothbrush was invented by the Chinese in 1000 AD. We now have lots of choices in toothbrushes. Your dentist can tell you which brush is the right size and shape for you. Most dentists recommend a soft-bristled brush to minimize damage to teeth and gums.

To clean the chewing surfaces of your teeth, use short sweeping strokes, tipping the bristles into the pits and crevices. To clean the inside surfaces of your top and bottom front teeth and gums, hold the brush almost vertical. With back and forth motions, bring the front part of the brush over the teeth and gums. Using a forward-sweeping motion, gently brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth to remove the decay-causing bacteria that exist in these places. Use an egg timer or play a favorite song while brushing your teeth to get used to brushing for a full 2 to 3 minutes. Some electronic toothbrushes have timers that let you know when 2 minutes are up. Facts on Flossing Brushing is important but it won’t remove the plaque and particles of food between your teeth, under the gumline, or under braces. You’ll need to floss these spaces at least once a day. The type of floss you choose depends on how much space you have between your teeth. Dentists usually recommend unwaxed floss because it’s thinner and easier to slide through small spaces. However, studies have shown that there is no major difference in

24 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

the effectiveness based on the type of floss used. With any floss, you should be careful to avoid injuring your gums. Follow these instructions: Carefully insert the floss between two teeth, using a back and forth motion. Gently bring the floss to the gumline, but don’t force it under the gums. Curve the floss around the edge of your tooth in the shape of the letter “C” and slide it up and down the side of each tooth. Repeat this process between all your teeth, and remember to floss the back sides of your back teeth. Tooth-Whitening Products Some toothpastes claim to whiten teeth. There’s nothing wrong with using whitening toothpastes as long as they also contain fluoride and ingredients that fight plaque and tartar. But these toothpastes alone don’t contain much in the way of whitening ingredients and probably won’t noticeably change the color of your teeth. It’s easy to be lured by ads telling people they need gleaming white teeth. But these ads are really targeted to older people. The truth is that most teens don’t need tooth whitening because teeth usually yellow as a person gets older.

If you think your teeth aren’t white enough, though, talk to your dentist before you try any over-the-counter whitening products. Your dentist may be able to offer you professional treatment, which will be suited to your unique needs and will work better than over-thecounter products. Be careful when buying over-the-counter whitening products. Some bleaching agents may damage your gums and mouth. So always follow the instructions on any whitening product you use. The Nutrition Connection Eating sugar, as you probably already know, is a major cause of tooth decay. But it’s not just how much sugar you eat — when and how you eat it can be just as important to keeping teeth healthy. When you eat sugary foods or drink sodas frequently throughout the day, the enamel that protects your teeth is constantly exposed to acids. Hard candies, cough drops, and breath mints that contain sugar are especially harmful because they dissolve slowly in your mouth. Many experts suggest that you take a 3-hour break between eating foods containing sugar. Sugary or starchy foods eaten with a meal are less harmful to your teeth than when they’re eaten alone, possibly because the production of saliva, which washes away the sugar and bacteria, is increased. Eating sugary foods before you go to bed can be the most damaging 26 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

(especially if you don’t brush your teeth afterward) because you don’t produce as much saliva when you sleep.

For most people, it’s hard to cut out sweets completely, so try to follow these more realistic guidelines: • Eat carbohydrates (sugars and starches) with a meal. • If you can’t brush your teeth after eating, rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash or chew sugarless gum. • Don’t eat sugary foods between meals. • If you snack, eat non-sugary foods, such as cheese, popcorn, raw veggies, or yogurt. Going to the Dentist The main reason for going to the dentist regularly — every 6 months — is prevention. The goal is to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other disorders that put the health of your teeth and mouth at risk. Your first consultation with a dentist will probably consist of three main parts: a dental and medical history (where the dentist or dental hygienist asks you questions about your tooth care and reviews any dental records), a dental examination, and a professional cleaning.

The dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and other mouth tissues. He or she may also examine the joints of your jaws. The dentist will use a mirror and probe (a metal pick-like instrument) to check the crown (visible part) of each tooth for plaque and evidence of looseness or decay. The dentist also will check your bite and the way your teeth fit together (called occlusion). Your dentist will examine the general condition of your gums, which should be firm and pink, not soft, swollen, or inflamed. He or she (or an assistant) will use the probe to check the depth of the sulcus, the slight depression where each tooth meets the gum. Deep depressions, called pockets, are evidence of gum disease. After examining the visible parts of your teeth and mouth, your dentist will take X-rays that might reveal tooth decay, abscesses (collections of pus surrounded by swollen tissue), or impacted wisdom teeth. Professional cleaning is usually performed by a dental hygienist, a specially trained and licensed dental professional. Cleaning consists mainly of removing hard deposits using a scaler (a scraping instrument) or an ultrasonic machine, which uses highfrequency sound waves to loosen plaque deposits. The particles are then rinsed off with water. After cleaning, the dental hygienist will polish your teeth. The process cleans and smoothes

the surfaces of the teeth, removing stains and making it harder for plaque to stick to the teeth. Finally, the hygienist may treat your teeth with a fluoride compound or a sealant to help prevent decay. At the end of your visit, the dentist will let you know if you need to return to fill a cavity. Your dentist also may refer you to an orthodontist if he or she thinks you may need braces or have other issues. More Dental Problems Dental caries (tooth decay) can attack the teeth at any age. In fact, 84% of 17-year-olds have the disease. Left untreated, caries can cause severe pain and result in tooth loss. Losing teeth affects how you look and feel about yourself as well as your ability to chew and speak. Treating caries is also expensive. So prevention and early treatment are important. It may surprise you to know that 60% of 15-year-olds experience gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. Gingivitis, which involves the gums but not the underlying bone and ligament, is almost always caused by an accumulation of plaque. As with caries, treatment can be expensive. If you remove plaque regularly and follow good oral hygiene habits, your gums usually will return to their healthy state. However, more serious gum disease can cause gums to swell, turn red, and bleed, and sometimes causes discomfort. How dentists treat gum disease depends on the extent of the disease. ÂŠ 1995- 2014 .

COMMUNITY IMPACT Daphne Olivier & Michelle MacFadyen

Acadiana Food Day South Louisiana has always been known for its food: boudin, gumbo, rice dressing… the list of local favorites goes on. But there are new favorites in Acadiana these days too—local meats, fruits, and vegetables being brought to Farmers Markets across the region and sold to enthusiastic “locavores.” These new favorites are being celebrated at the fourth annual Food Day event, held on October 25 at the Market at the Horse Farm. Food Day is a nationwide celebration and a movement for healthy, affordable, sustainable food. The 2014 Food Day national focus is on food justice—a topic relevant throughout the food production continuum from the treatment of farm animals to the working conditions of food and farm workers. It’s a day for Americans to reflect on the distribution of the most basic human need, to ask hard questions about the realities of our nation’s food system, and to proactively address foodrelated issues including obesity, hunger, and the environmental affects associated with industrialized farming. Acadiana Food Day’s arrival has coincided with a food renaissance in the region over the last several years. Two women,

passionate about access to local, nutritious foods joined forces four year ago to bring this national celebration to Acadiana. “We started Acadiana Food Day in the bakery’s parking lot,” explains Michelle MacFadyen of Great Harvest of Acadiana.

“In only four years, the Food Day celebration has grown to a huge community event at the Market at the Horse Farm, that offers nutritional, culinary, and agricultural information to the public about fresh, local food.” MacFadyen sells baked goods at the weekly Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market at the Horse Farm and regularly features seasonal ingredients from local farms in her family-owned bakery’s breads. “It’s the way we work to create a more just food system—we buy ingredients directly from farmers, ensuring they are paid a fair price for their hard work.” The annual event aims to highlight how innovative individuals like MacFadyen are encouraging entire communities to redesign

regional food systems. Organizers want to promote health and support producers of real, plant-and-animal based foods. An alternative nutritionist, Daphne Olivier is the other key organizer of Acadiana Food Day. She has made a career out of her passion for healthy eating, and she coaches people to build and maintain a healthy diet while considering the many factors involved a person’s food choices. “Food injustice plays a big role in the lack of nutritional value in the foods available to impoverished areas,” she explains. Olivier’s mission is to increase access to nutritional information and affordable fresh food. This year’s Acadiana Food Day will take place on October 25 at the Lafayette Farmers and Artisans Market at the Horse Farm between 8 a.m. and noon. A series of speakers will lead programs throughout the morning, and children of all ages are invited to join in the fun with movement-focused activities as well as arts and crafts. The event is free to the public, and all proceeds from sponsorships will go to Earthshare Garden’s Backyard Garden Initiative to address food security and justice issues in our own community.

I depend fully on your attention. Please pick me up when I cry. I need to be reassured that I can thrive in this strange new world you birthed me into. You look tired! I don’t sleep when you want to sleep. I don’t eat while you are eating. And I expel a mess from my diaper just as company arrives. I’ll figure out your schedule and settle in soon, promise. For now, let’s spend time falling in love…”

uncontrollably, they develop anxiety and distrust.

The way that parents respond to their babies shapes their ability to learn and adapt to the world.

Try to keep a regular schedule and a consistent environment. Don’t go out and about unnecessarily.

Friends and family might tell you that you spoil your baby when you hold him every time he cries, but the opposite is true. When he cries, he is communicating with the only method available. A quick response at this stage in his development will help him selfregulate later.

Spend time cuddling, staring into each other’s eyes and figuring each other out. It will be very much like falling in love. The time and energy you invest now to form a bond will foster language, trust, and selfregulation. These developments will make your parenting job easier and more rewarding.

Random Household Hacks You know what makes me smile and feel smart at the same time? When I know how to perform some random act that makes it easier to accomplish little things around the house. Or on a trip. Or in an area of life! Enjoy some of my favorites. Speedy re-heat. When reheating something dense in the microwave (such as pasta, potatoes or a casserole) make a well in the middle of the food. It will heat up more quickly. Quick release trash bag. To avoid suction, which causes resistance, when removing bags from a trash can, drill holes in the bottom of the container. No more rubbery pizza. To keep the crust from getting rubbery when reheating pizza in the microwave, place a glass with a small amount of water next to the food. Quick fix for computer flip-out feet. Use binder clips to replace the little flip-out feet on the back side of a computer keyboard. To do this, remove the metal wings from two clips and replace the feet by squeezing those wings into place on the keyboard. Icy cold in a flash. Wrap a wet paper towel around a beverage bottle and place it in the freezer. Wait 15 minutes and the bottle and any contents will be almost completely ice cold. No-drip ice pack. For do-it-yourself ice packs that don’t drip, saturate a sponge with water, place it in a zip-type freezer bag and freeze. Useable straight from the freezer. Car paint saver. Cut a pool “noodle” in half length-wise and adhere it to the wall of your garage. This will protect your car door from slamming against the garage wall and head off dings in the paint. No more unpopped kernels. After popping microwave popcorn, separate the opening of the bag just enough for the un-popped kernels to fall out. Shake upside down over a trashcan. Photo flashcards. When planning a trip to a country where you don’t speak the language, print out pictures of places you need to go: hotel, train station or airport, tourist attractions, restroom, etc. Use these images to communicate your needs.

Grape ice. Frozen grapes work like ice cubes to chill white wine but without watering it down. De-kerneling corn technique. Electric knives work well for removing the kernels from corn on the cob. Rest the cooked cob on the hole of a Bundt cake pan while using your knife, and all the kernels will fall neatly in the pan. Pistachio on pistachio. Use a pistachio shell to open a pistachio. Insert a used pistachio shell onto the opening of a whole pistachio. Twist to pry it open. Neat trick for ice cream. For easier serving, cut ice cream with a knife. If serving ice cream from a round container, cut dowwn the middle of the full container from top to bottom. Lay ice cream on its side, peel off the container and slice. Cats be gone! Keep cats out of your kids’ sandbox by pouring distilled white vinegar around the box each month. To keep them out of your garden, sprinkle plain black pepper throughout.

DIY Halloween Décor Looking for a few good ideas for Halloween decorations? You’ve come to the right place! Halloween is one of the most festive and decoration-happy holidays of the year (second, perhaps, only to Christmas), but sometimes it’s difficult to find decorations that aren’t costly. It can also be hard to find decorations that aren’t exactly the same as the neighbor’s decorations. This year, get out the scissors and gather the kids around for some fun and creative DIY ideas, or make your budget go further with some low cost, high impact, beautiful ideas. Whether you’re opting for a big, scary look or something more low-key, have a happy and spooky Halloween! 34 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

Chicken Wire Ghosts This is especially spooky if you put the form in a dress and shape a see-through head, as shown above. You could take it a step further and add a wig, but the best part about chicken wire ghosts is that they look perfect all on their own with no added details.

Porch Ideas

Pumpkins Get back to basics with your own unique pumpkin carvings, and add leaves for a simple, classic porch look. (Fake leaves that are the perfect color and won’t eventually die and crumble, ruining your lovely set up, can be found at Dollar Tree for $1- that’s a steal!) For a more understated, but still festive look, line your steps with pumpkins. Pumpkins that are disease free and healthy can last eight to twelve weeks uncarved, so this is a hassle free, quick and easy solution to holiday decorating with a very festive looking result!

Door Faces Use paper plates with black construction paper glued on for googly-looking-eyes, and shape your own construction paper eyebrows. You could also use cardboard or poster board for your materials, depending on how big you want to go with this. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no limit to how unique you can make your door-face!

GEAUX LOUISIANA ! We have a great variety of Louisiana items to cheer on your favorite team!

The Kids are Grounded This is a great use for PVC pipe and pillow stuffing, as well as old clothes that your family has outgrown. You can also recycle those foam noodles left over from summer, but you may need a stretched out wire hanger or something similar for added support to keep them upright.

Their partnership led to Makemade, a design company that has made projects ranging from photography and film to toys and album covers. Actually, it is difficult to define Makemade’s focus. This is no accident. Allison says she would prefer for the company to promote the idea of design possibilities, rather than a specific kind of expertise. “We want people to call up and say ‘I don’t know if you can do it, but…’ Those are the best projects.” Makemade has produced many commercials and documentary-based work, one of which, “A Conversation with George T. McWhorter,” was shown at the Southern Screen Film Festival last year. Allison prefers working on documentaries like this one, where she can get to know people whose stories she might never otherwise hear, to doing camera work for big feature films. The hours for those jobs can be intensive (1018 hours a day for two months) and she always worries about the next job. She describes the cycle as “perpetual stress.” Bigger jobs pay more, but they are not her passion. “I found pretty quickly that it’s not for me,” she says of the camera work for feature films. “Features are creative in that they are emotive with lighting and things like that, but it doesn’t allow for a lifestyle of creativity.” The film industry has historically been a man’s world as well, an attitude that can still be found from time to time. Sometimes Allison has to hold a 40-pound camera for ten hours and she is usually the director of photography or camera operator on set. There are some men who still have reactions like “that’s hot” or “you don’t know what you’re talking about,” she says. Mostly, though, times have changed so that it is more common to find women in the industry. “For the most part, men are okay with it,” Allison says. 40 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

It can be difficult to balance film work with design projects and, especially right now, her music. Allison much prefers working on commercials, which only take about four days to produce and allow her to pursue her true creative interests. Being married to her creative partner truly makes for a creative lifestyle. The drive to create does not end after a 9-to-5 work day with a Netflix marathon; it is present day and night. “It’s a lot of switching gears,” Allison says. “We’re talking about it from the time we wake up to the time we go to bed. It’s very intertwined in our life.” For many couples who work together professionally there is a period of time that involves balancing work life with the relationship, but Allison and Peter began their relationship with a creative project, and it sounds as if they really have a chemistry that goes hand in hand with what works for them as a couple. Allison says that she is the person to “shake it up – let’s get weird, whereas he’s the one to say, ‘okay, let’s take it back a notch.’” Whether it is her husband, band members, or those involved in film projects, collaborators have been a huge presence in Allison’s work. “No man is an island,” she says. “I always recommend finding a collaborator for motivation, someone to call you out if you’re not really trying. You need people.” Music and visual arts have always gone together for Allison who is most interested in mixed media projects. She says that “both are forms of storytelling. It’s about making something that people can connect to on their own.” To Allison, art can be too welldefined; it should be abstract enough so that the people who experience it can take from it what they want.

“It’s about making

something that people can connect to on their own.”

“I always recommend finding a collaborator for motivation, someone to call you out if

you’re not really trying. You need people.”

Her newest project, the album “Tremendous Hem,” was released under the stage name Kind Cousin on September 23rd with the local release show on September 19th at the Acadian Village chapel, a setting that reflects the tone of the album itself (it was recorded in a St. Martinville church in one week). The songs on “Tremendous Hem” are narrative based, so it is important for Allison to “get into character.” This means finding the right sound. Before choosing the St. Martinville church, she tried various other locations, including an old barn. The church was ideal; listeners will hear the sound of cicadas in the background of some of the songs. “It’s not perfect. It’s not clean,” she says. “It has character.” Allison was raised in a Southern Baptist church in Bossier City where she had her first experiences with music through the choir. She doesn’t consciously think of its influence on her music, but Peter has commented on it before. The harmonies from those days seem to stick with her. She says that she has “always loved singing, and I’ve always been obsessed with finding music no one has ever heard of.” One of her earliest musical obsessions was actually Hanson. “It’s nerdy of course, but they have great harmonies! I’m sure if I listened to them now I’d be embarrassed.” Then, she began listening to punk music in high school, and was really influenced by girl groups from the 1950s and 60s, like The Ronettes. 42 FACE | OCTOBER 2014

Allison’s dad, once a traveling evangelist, would often do “chalk talks” – a kind of sermon that would involve drawing as he spoke, and often singing. Because her dad knew what kind of life music and travel can bring (long hours, possible lack of job opportunities), he did not encourage her to pursue it as a career initially. As a student at UL, Allison decided to pursue a career in the arts, a decision that can be troubling for many parents concerned about job security. “I told them that I was obsessed with media and film, and that I wanted to do that,” she says. Because so many parents are concerned with their children’s choice to study a non-traditional career, she and Peter make it a point to ease parents’ minds when they get the opportunity, using their own success as a testimonial. Allison feels that, if you are passionate about something and you work hard at it, success will come. Regarding her music, Allison says, “I feel like it took me longer to get there because I didn’t necessarily believe in my abilities. I kept it very private because I thought people might not like it. I wasted so much time and energy doing that.” She loves the vibe that young people in the Lafayette area give off, that those possibilities are there. They seem to be saying “this is what I want to do with my life and I’m going to do it,” despite society’s expectations, she explains. “It’s a riskier life, but you only have one.”

CELEBRITY ADVICE Letting Go Every single one of us, at one time or another, has held a grudge against someone; it’s human nature.

Its just so much easier to be bitter about something than to let it blow over, but we’re not doing ourselves any favors by holding on to those grudges, no matter how big or small they may be. Though it’s easier said than done to forgive and forget, it’s always best to at least try —and, of course, to look inside yourself to figure out why you’re harboring these feelings. The best way to let go of a grudge is to get it all out from inside you. Tell a friend; write it in your journal. It doesn’t matter how you do it; just don’t keep it bottled up

in your mind. Make sure to acknowledge why you’re still angry over the situation, and then decide whether it’s really worth it. Something as small as a family member’s not apologizing to you over something silly most definitely isn’t worth the time or stress. Try talking to the person about it, and then just let it go. Depending on the severity of the situation, holding a grudge can really make or break a friendship. At some point, you have to decide whether you want to mend the relationship and get over it or whether the negativity outweighs the good in the relationship. Just don’t allow yourself to string someone along because you can’t make up your mind about whether you can let it go. You need to know when to call it quits. The most important part of letting go of a grudge is moving forward. Once you’ve

chosen to forgive or move on, don’t allow the grudge to creep back in. Never try to rehash the situation, because it will only bring back all of the negative feelings -and then you’re back at square one. Try not to sweat the small stuff, and keep in mind that we’re all human and we’re all going to make mistakes. What really matters is how we handle ourselves when those mistakes are made. What are some ways you’ve dealt with your own grudges? Did you get over them, or are you still holding on? Why?

For a Happy Bedtime Story, Think Cool, Dark and Quiet I am a terrible sleeper, three, sometimes four hours a night. I checked about sleep apnea – negative – but the doctors suggest one problem might be my bedroom, that I should look into things like the mattress and pillows. Exactly what would I be looking for? They seem comfortable enough to me.

Your bedroom should be cool, dark and quiet. Open the windows to fresh air. Banish all lights, including LEDs... whatever it takes to evoke Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams.

Your mattress and pillows are only part of what makes a bedroom soporific or not. There’s a huge body of information on how to choose the mattress and pillows that are right for you. One important source of information is the Better Sleep Council, a non-profit supported by the mattress industry that offers enough information to lull you right to sleep! But there’s much more to a happy bedtime story. Other sleep experts agree on three key factors that underlie a good night’s sleep: Your bedroom should be cool, dark and quiet. Open the windows to fresh air. Banish all lights, including LEDs. Turn your clock to the wall. Prop a book in front of the phone light. Consider a sleep mask and earplugs – whatever it takes to evoke Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams (not from “The Matrix”). Interior designer Robin Wilson would add other considerations to the list. Known for her eco-friendly/ healthy design esthetic, Robin’s advice is nothing to sneeze at:

Bedroom’s a yawn, with dark walls and room-darkening shadings, just what the doctor orders for a good night’s sleep. Photo: Courtesy Hunter Douglas.

Avoid allergens. Wash your pillow at least twice yearly and buy new ones every three years. Put a hypoallergenic cover on your mattress and wash it every two months. Use non-VOC paints in your bedroom. No off-gassing to trigger allergies. Nix carpeting. Hard surfaces like wood or tile catch less dust. Eschew cute bed decorations, like dolls and stuffed animals. Or – get this – stick them in the freezer for 24 hours to banish dust mites. Opt for blinds, shades or shutters instead of dust-catching curtains at the bedroom windows. Look for window treatments with room-darkening backings (for example, Silhouette A Deux by Hunter Douglas, a sheer shading that comes with a separate opaque roller shade).

CAREERS

This hidden job market may seem intimidating, but not to worry. We have the ultimate guide you need to cracking the hidden job market.

“Since most jobs are filled by word of mouth, your best way of landing a job is through networking. This process is twofold; it consists of reaching out to your existing network and then seeking to grow your network.

Focus on Networking

Identify Your Goals

Since most jobs are filled by word of mouth, your best way of landing a job is through networking. This process is twofold; it consists of reaching out to your existing network and then seeking to grow your network. First, you should inform friends, family, and previous colleagues of your job search. Update your LinkedIn and other professional networking tools to reflect your jobs search.

Before you start navigating your way through the hidden job market, you must know where you currently are and where you want to go in your career. Identify the specific type of jobs you are looking for as well as individual companies where you would like to work.

Find the Hidden Job Market The Ultimate Guide to Cracking the Hidden Job Market to Achieve your Career Goals A typical job search has likely found you wondering why there are not more positions available. Yet, the reality is that there are many more jobs; they are just hidden. That is correct, hidden. There is a hidden job market that is just waiting for you to find, crack in, and start your dream job. The hidden job market consists of jobs that are never formally posted. The majority of hiring managers are more inclined to recruit through referrals than posting an ad. Hiring managers often reach out to their network first, meaning most jobs are filled by word of mouth.

Then you should seek to grow your network. Consider joining professional network groups. Local groups can be found through local organizations, such as your Chamber of Commerce, LEDA, and local newspaper. There are also nationwide groups, which you can find through online search engines and LinkedIn. When doing this, always remember the first rule of networking; give back. Share information with other members that may be beneficial to them.

Search Internal Job Boards

Start Cold Calling

Many companies have internal job boards where openings are posted before they are made public. Use your network contacts at the organization, research the company website, and utilize search engines to find these job boards. Once you have identified them, check these job boards regularly for job openings that you can apply for directly.

Cold calling is a proven method of job searching that is even more effective in today’s job market. Now that you have identified companies that you would like to work for, reach out to hiring managers through email or phone calls with a persuasive request for an interview. These individuals are always looking for new talent even if they are not currently hiring. Then when a job becomes available, they are likely to think of you.

Create Your Own Job Now that you are connected to the company you want to work for, you can create your own job. Identify a problem that they are unaware of and develop an effective solution. Now that this area has come to their attention and you have already shown that you can fulfill their needs, they might just take you on board.

Now that you have found the hidden job market and cracked its code, you can reap the many benefits. Not only will you find more openings, but you will also have less competition when applying. If you are cold calling, you are likely to have no competition. In addition, if you have learned about the opening through word of mouth, you have very little competition. So what are you waiting for? Start searching the hidden market and you will be in your dream job before you know it.

BEAUTY factors or the natural degeneration of elements of the skin that keep it thick and supple. Choosing How to Age Gracefully Even with great genes, age-related changes in our facial appearance are unavoidable. The envelope is becoming larger while the contents are becoming smaller! Fortunately for those of us who are not comfortable with our changing appearance, there are many options, both surgical and non-surgical. The age-defying facelift, which surgically removes excess tissue and lifts sagging skin in the lower part of the face, is one way to try to stem the tides of time. While facelifts have improved in recent years, surgery is by far the most expensive option, with the most risk and downtime. Other non-surgical procedures are typically needed to achieve the desired results. The facelift procedure has fallen in popularity to 20th most popular cosmetic procedure, giving way to many non-surgical alternatives for altering the aging face.

The Aging Face

Understanding the Changes and Seeking Solutions Age affects every nook and cranny of the body. Changes in our faces are most at the forefront, some of them obvious and familiar: • Foreheads expand; hairlines retreat • Ears get longer due to growth and sagging • Tips of noses may droop because connective tissue supporting nasal cartilage weakens. There are also structural rearrangements taking place behind the scenes. Beginning even in our late 20’s, anatomic changes begin to unveil themselves revealing a transformation in the topography of our face from soft swooping curves to hills and valleys. Thinking of the face in three layers can help us understand the basic reorientation that is taking place. At the base: The underlying architecture supporting the structure of the face, our facial bones, continues to change as we grow older. Our eye sockets enlarge and change shape; the angle of the bones beneath our eyebrows decreases — contributing to the formation of frown lines on our foreheads, “crow’s feet” at the corners of our eyes, and droopy lower Age: 35

Age: 45

eyelids. Affecting the mid-face are reductions in the angles of the brow, nose, and upper jawbones as well as a decrease in the length and height of the lower jaw. In the middle: Evenly distributed fat in the face with strategically located pockets that plump up the forehead, temples, cheeks, and areas around the eyes and mouth begins to change. With age, the mid layer connective tissue becomes more lax and facial fat loses volume, clumps up, and shifts downward, so features that were formerly round may sink, and skin that was smooth and tight gets loose and sags. Other parts of the face gain fat, particularly the lower half, so we tend to get baggy around the chin and jowly in the neck. At the surface: Texture, pigmentation and skin tone touches the surface. Deep wrinkles can form in the forehead and between the eyebrows resulting from facial muscles continually tugging on, and eventually creasing, the aging skin. Other folds may get deeper, in part because of the way fat decreases and moves around. Finer wrinkles appear due to both extrinsic factors such as sun damage, smoking, and intrinsic

When considering non-surgical facial rejuvenation, a multifaceted approach of combination therapies targeting the three areas: architecture, mid-layer, and skin yields the most effective and natural looking results. With many tools available, your provider has the opportunity to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specified needs. A top down approach could include a mix of the following: The Surface Sun Protection. Protecting your skin from the sun is the single best way of keeping it youthful. Making smart lifestyle choices including broad spectrum sun protection that blocks both UVA and UVB rays, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and avoiding sun in the middle of the day. Age: 55

Skincare. The vast array of skin care products on the market can be overwhelming. Consulting with a dermatologist trained and supervised licensed esthetician on the skincare regimen that is right for your skin type and addresses your issues is always recommended. Several prescriptive creams have been shown to reduce wrinkles and correct pigmentation issues caused by sun exposure. These creams typically contain retinoids and hydroquinone. Retinoids are compounds related to vitamin A that work by inducing collagen production and cell turnover in the dermis and hydroquinone alters melanin production, the pigment that causes age spots. These two active ingredients are the gold standards in medical grade skin care. Laser Based Therapies. The options are many for light based therapies targeting issues on the surface of the skin. Lasers can be used to hone in on certain pigments: brown, if the goal is to get rid of freckles, hyperpigmentation or sun/age spots, red if the target is broken capillaries. They’re also used for wholesale resurfacing of facial skin. The uppermost layers are stripped away, and with them, wrinkles from sun damage and scars from acne. Treatments are selected based upon desired results and associated downtime with the treatment. Resurfacing peels vary in depth and coverage from full-face deep treatments using “ablative” fractional CO2 lasers requiring 7-10 days of downtime to “non-ablative” fractional offerings that require little or no downtime. A skin specialist such as a board-certified Dermatologist active in aesthetic procedures is well versed in the most current technologies and can advise you on your best course of treatment. Botulinum Toxin Injections. These injections are used to treat the expression lines of the forehead and between the brows. They work by relaxing the muscles that form expression lines so the skin smoothes out, although some deep expression lines may not go completely away. Botox is the most familiar brand name. The Middle Layer Non-Laser Energy Based Treatments. Two examples are Ulthera and EXILIS. Both are non-invasive, non-surgical procedures utilizing heat below the skin to stimulate

collagen growth. Ulthera uses high intensity ultrasound technology for skin tightening and lifting for the entire face and neck. Ultherapy helps your tissue to create new collagen, giving you a more youthful appearance. For most candidates, a single ulthera treatment would give you the results you are looking for. Exilis is a non-invasive treatment that uses radio frequency for skin tightening, reduction of wrinkles and sculpting of targeted fat deposits. A series of treatments; typically 3-6 is required. Injectable Fillers for Volume Loss. For volume loss between the soft tissue and bone, injectable fillers are used to restore youthful fullness, enhance shallow contours and soften facial creases and wrinkles. After botulinum toxin injections, dermal filler injections are the most common cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. Prime locations for the injections are the pair of lines that extend down from the nose to the corners of the mouth, known as the nasolabial folds and the pair that extend down from

the corners of the mouth to the chin, known as marionette lines. Filler injected in the mid-face and cheek augmentation is also extremely popular. The Base Many of the therapies previously mentioned have some positive residual effects for the overall structure of the face. Injectable fillers that are more robust can be placed between the soft tissue and the bone to reinforce areas of loss. As an M.D. trained in the subtleties of facial anatomy, I advise consumers to conduct due diligence before beginning a treatment plan with any provider. The face has a complex skin and substructure. Combination therapies typically yield the best and most natural results but require an in-depth knowledge and experience of the skin and facial anatomy and of the many tools available for treatment. There is a definite art to facial rejuvenation. An experienced, board certified and aesthetically active dermatologist is my recommendation for the greatest safety, the most advanced nonsurgical techniques and the best results.

The Style List

Ten Things to Do After Labor Day

By Sharon Mosley

Say goodbye to flip flops and floaties and hello to hoodies and hayrides. Start thinking about falling into a new season headfirst with a to-do list that puts you in the mood to renew your fashion spirit. Here’s a list to get you started on a new season: Clean out your closet. Hopefully, this will not take you weeks and weeks. But if you make it a habit at the beginning of each new season to take inventory of your wardrobe and get organized, then when the next season rolls around, you may only need to adjust a few things. And we all know the drill for cleaning out your closet: Make four piles -- keepers, repairs, donations and clothes to be tossed. One of my best inspirations is buying new black non-slip hangers for all my clothes. Voila! My closet looked better instantly! Pick up a fall fashion magazine. They are a treasure trove of information about all things fashion. They may weigh a ton, but even if you only pick one of your favorites and stash it on your bedside table (and feel free to rip out the pages you love), you’ll glean a lot of inspiration that will spark a host of ways to update what’s already in your closet. Get ready to shop like you mean it. Set aside at least one afternoon, if not a whole day to get out and look at the new fall merchandise now streaming into stores. It may be tempting to spend a few nights online checking out the trends, but there’s nothing like feeling that cashmere tunic sweater up close and personal. Trade in your shorts and capris. OK, there may be a few more warm days left, but if you start easing into those tailored jeans and leggings right now, you’ll “feel” more like you’re dressing for a new season, and your mood is guaranteed to improve as well. You may be tempted to wear that new leather jacket you got on sale at the end of last season, but stick to lighter-weight transition pieces now, knowing that leather weather is not far behind. Stock up on basics. Since the sweaty, sticky months of summer seem to be hard on our clothes, and other basics like T-shirts and under garments, early fall is the perfect time to replenish. Layering is a key component of cool-weather dressing, so stock up on tights, camisoles and white shirts. If you’ve indulged in a few too many margaritas this summer, you may want to add some shapewear to your list! Bring out the boots. Oh, yeah, time to kick up those heels. Now, you may be one of those really gutsy kinds of girls that likes to wear your boots with your cutoffs to the beach (if you are, please take a moment to air them out), but most of us prefer to wait until we don’t have to worry about walking around in a sauna bath, to wear our favorite boots. Talk to your hairstylist. You know you and your hair are sick of all the humidity that has just worn you both down. It’s time to shake out the sea salt. So make sure you see your hair stylist as soon as possible, and talk about some new options for a new season; hopefully one that is a lot kinder and cooler to your hair. Sign up for a makeup makeover. Now, you can take a break from all the tanning! Instead, check out the new fall lineup of cosmetics and colors at your favorite boutique or department store. Put yourself in the hands of a makeup expert and see what magic they can work on you and your parched skin. Change your nail polish. It’s such a simple change, and let’s face it, unless you’re buying a new bottle of Christian Laboutin’s $50 “Rouge” polish, you don’t have to spend a fortune on giving your nails a new lease on life. Instead, put your “pedi to the metal” and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang with OPI’s racy new collection of nail lacquers. Now that’ll rev up your fashion engines! Yes, you can wear white after Labor Day. Those white jeans of spring and summer are good to go all year round. The old rules have just about all been broken now, and designers are lightening up their autumn runways with head-to-toe neutrals that will get you ready for the winter white-out ahead.

Male Fertility Expertise Available in Acadiana & Surrounding Areas By Chris Fontenot, MD, FACS

It seems that the woman is always the first to see an infertility specialist if a couple is having trouble getting pregnant. But did you know that the man contributes to the problem at least half of the time? Did you also know that abnormalities in men that can contribute to infertility are often correctable? And finally, did you know that state-of-the-art treatments for male infertility are available right here in Acadiana? Let Dr. Chris Fontenot and his staff give you every chance to start a family! Men can be “subfertile” from a number of different causes, often in combination. A man may have a hormonal problem, or an obstruction of the genital tract. He may also have several dilated veins in the groin area which can have an adverse effect on sperm production. These are causes that are often correctable. He also may just need to stop (or start) a few things in his life that are adversely affecting his chances of conceiving a child. Even if he has taken anabolic (performance enhancing) steroids, or testosterone supplements, we can often reverse the damage and make him fertile again. Whatever the reason, he needs an expert in male infertility. Often the cause of subfertility in men, however, is a defect in the way the body makes sperm. Current thought is that the DNA of the sperm is defective in those cases. Unfortunately, there is no current cure for this circumstance but active research is ongoing. Our current technology allows us to bypass this problem with assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or vitro fertilization (IFV). This technology is available here in Acadiana!

And finally, even if you’ve had a vasectomy in the past, there is still hope for you. As 6% of men who’ve had a vasectomy will change their mind in the future, modern techniques have been developed to reconnect the vas deferens. And you guessed it; this technology is also available right here in Acadiana. So if you are a man who is concerned that you may be subfertile, make an appointment with Dr. Fontenot today. Let him and his

staff guide you the through the process of diagnosis and treatment of your problem, and give you the best chance of starting your family. • • • • • • • •
