IceCure Medical Inc. of Collierville is funding the study of its technology, which ofers substantial savings compared with the cost of traditional surgery, the company contends.

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

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

The annual expo made the trek to Memphis the same year and wants to celebrate by ofering its fellow millennials free entry to the weekend show.

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

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

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

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

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

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

CBHS grad dies after Signal Point hiking fall Father: He was caring, artistic, loving person

By Jody Callahan callahan@commercialappeal.com 901-529-6531

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

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

reer, Mr. Pelts had begun exhibiting some of his works in a small Chattanooga gallery, his father said Sunday.

“I think art was going to be a com- Tyler Pelts ponent of his life.

He viewed himself as an emerging artist,” said Jef Pelts. “He was a budding artist type, really liked to be creative.”

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

RESEARCH

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

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

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

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

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

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

In brief

SHELBY FARMS

from 1 engulfs a tumor in an ice ball, killing the tissue and allowing the body to absorb it.

IceCure Medical is the United States subsidiary responsible for sales, marketing and distribution of the technology, marketed as the IceSense3 Cryoablation System. Its parent company is IceCure Ltd., a public company based in Israel, where manufacturing and research are done, said Will Irby, vice president of sales and marketing for IceCure Medical.

Irby provides data showing the potential savings of the minimally invasive freezing procedure, based on a comparison with surgery for noncancerous breast tumors, which IceSense also treats.

No comparison of prices in the South was available, but in the Midwest, the total average cost of the freezing treatment was $2,328 — 55 percent less than $5,191 for traditional surgery.

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

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

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

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

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

In keeping with the trend of personalized care, the proile of patients sought for the study is speciic and technical.

They should be older than 65, have tumors of 1.5 centimeters or less and have “prognostic markers” such as HER2 and Ki-67 — terms becoming more common in the age of genomics.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In this Dec. 19, 2014, file photo, a crew moves dirt to create a bigger Patriot Lake at Shelby Farms. A recently completed $70 million capital campaign includes funding for the Heart of the Park project, which will expand Patriot Lake from 55 to 80 acres.

Funding success

By Tom Charlier charlier@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2572

Culminating an ambitious capital campaign that was almost wrecked by the recession, the Shelby Farms Park Conservancy has amassed the $70 million needed to fund wide-ranging improvements designed to propel the 4,500-acre facility into the ranks of the nation’s leading urban parks, group oicials said.

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

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

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

Celebrity stylist Michael O’Rourke, known for his hair product line Big Sexy Hair, will be on hand giving out free haircuts and ofering his new product line, Rock Your Hair, at a discount.

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

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

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

Seewald is scheduled

Donations surpass campaign goal, $70M raised to improve park includes a major expansion of Patriot Lake and is scheduled for completion by the fall of 2016.

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

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

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

Eventually, other donors that included FedEx Corp., Baptist Memorial Health Care Corp., Plough Foundation, AutoZone, First Tennessee Foundation, International Paper Foundation and the McDonnell Family Foundation ponied up major contributions. In all, more than $60 million of the $70 million was raised privately, with the public money coming from the state of Tennessee ($5 million), the county

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

The drive was led by the conservancy, the nonproit group that in 2007 took over management of 3,200 acres of Shelby Farms, and later the Shelby Farms Greenline, under a contract with the county.

In addition to the capital money, the conservancy also must raise at least $2 million annually — more than 75 percent of its budget — to manage and operate the county-owned park.

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

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

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

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

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

The male child was removed from class and found to be in possession of an air soft gun, according to the police report.

When asked to empty his pockets, police said, he had one red B.B pellet in his back pants pocket. He was placed in a police vehicle and transported to juvenile court where he was charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds.

City reviewing debt to fund schools

By Jennifer Pignolet pignolet@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2372

The city of Germantown is considering increasing its debt capacity to allow for the building of a new elementary school and the expansion of Riverdale School.

Under its current policies, Germantown could take on an additional $16 million in debt. City Administrator Patrick Lawton said per the Germantown Municipal School District, the elementary school would cost about $15 million, and the Riverdale expansion about $7 million.

Finance Director Ralph

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

The city’s financial advisory committee on March 3 heard a presentation from Lawton on the possibility of altering the city’s debt policy.

The committee, made up of local business owners, chief inancial oicers and inancial advisors, makes recommendations to the city through the budget process.

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

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

A few committee members asked whether the increase in debt would mean an increase in taxes.

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

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

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

Robinwood Retirement Community Offers All-Inclusive Living for Seniors You or your parents may have lived in the family home for years, so the conversation around moving to an Independent Living community is easy to put off. Although you/ they may not be eager to broach the subject of moving to a new place, it’s important to talk about this exciting time while everyone is healthy and can be active participants.

When families wait until a crisis occurs, you might have to make decisions quickly, which can result in wrong choices based on apartment availability or without time to research properly. With the right option, change can be invigorating, especially when the move is to an all-inclusive community, one with a set monthly price, without large buy-ins or longterm contracts.“ “Robinwood Retirement Community, near the Whitten exit off I-40, offers an exciting lifestyle and the freedom to appreciate what’s most important - friends and family. You’ve saved your whole life, and our residents are happy to retire without signing their life or life savings away,� said Manager Joshua Brown. “If you’re looking to downsize, or if the maintenance and upkeep of your house has gotten to be too much for you or your loved one[s], an independent living apartment at Robinwood Retirement Community ills a deinite need,� he said. “Studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments are spacious, beautifully-designed living spaces that include fully-equipped kitchens, luxurious private baths, washer-dryer connections, and more. Our patio homes have additional amenities including raised ceilings, a dining room area, washer/dryer included, and a two-car garage.�

Robinwood is a short drive from Shelby Farms Park, in a quiet and safe area that was once known as Robinwood Farms. Robinwood’s on-site managers and professional staff give peace and comfort to residents and their families 24 hours a day. At the push of a button, someone is available around the clock, in the event of an emergency. “It’s a hard move to make,� said resident Betty Anderson. “A real decision to be thought out, but after my husband and I moved here he said it was absolutely the best decision we’d made and I agree. We’re so glad to be

here at Robinwood. The staff truly cares, you feel love here, and they are here for you 24 hours a day.� “One additional beneit of downsizing at Robinwood,� Brown continued, “is the simplicity it offers our residents without asking them to sacriice anything. One monthly payment to Robinwood, instead of paying bills to restaurants and grocery stores, to utility companies for water, electricity, cable and phone companies, to housekeepers, to home maintenance companies to landscapers, and to the government for property taxes and the like. “Robinwood’s Freedom Dining means meals are included in the price of the monthly rent, so residents don’t pay an additional charge each time they eat. In addition, ‘Freedom Dining’ at Robinwood means that each of our three chef-prepared meals is served daily within a casual time window that enables residents to eat on their own schedules. “You choose when you sit down to eat,� Brown said. “Residents also have access to our Chef’s Pantry, where residents can enjoy a delicious sandwich, snacks, drinks, fruit and more, 24 hours a day – all at no additional charge. Room service and meals to-go are also available for no extra fee.� “We were so impressed with how friendly, professional, and polite the staff was when we toured Robinwood.� Residents Pervis and Mary Nell Ballew commented. “Imagine our delight when we realized that it wasn’t an act, continuing to get the red carpet treatment after moving in.�

Interested people can experience Robinwood’s family-friendly lifestyle by scheduling a tour. Tours are offered seven days a week.

Brown said, “When you make a decision to give us a try, your rent is month-to-month with a full 30-day money-back guarantee.

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

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

Each year, council members collaborate to create a community service project designed to ofer service opportunities speciically to the members in their grade. Three sophomore council members invented the “St. Jude Blanket Project” for the 2014-2015 school year.

The group proposed a plan to collect donations of $10 from the freshman and sophomore Honors Academy members.

The money was used to purchase 100 pieces of leece fabric to be constructed by volunteers into 50 blankets for St. Jude patients. Thanks to the contributions from students, the result was a fantastic success.

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

They also received $36 worth of coupons from S.C. Johnson, which further reduced the costs of the Ziplock bags.

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

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

After all purchases were complete, the group had $56.56 left in cash donations and $95.34 remaining on the gift card.

They decided to donate the remaining funds to St. Jude. Overall, contributions to St. Jude made by the Blanket Project grossed $734.

The heart of the luncheon will feature authors reading excerpts from their book and participating in a question and answer session. They will lend their expertise in a variety of topics including plot development, dialogue, the publishing process and the mental attitude for success. There will also be book signings

by the authors with books available for purchase.

The event will be held at Collierville’s Morton Museum located at the corner of Poplar and Main.

The cost is $38 per person.

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

In the news WINTER WEATHER

COLD HARD TRUTH Farmers do their best to weather weeks of harsh, wintry conditions

By Sara K. Clarke sara.clarke@commercialappeal.com 901-529-5893

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

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

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

After enduring the seventhcoldest February on record, farmers in the Mid-South are into March with fields still frozen and chores stacking up.

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

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

But it’s still early, he said.

Right now is about the time farmers would plant coldweather spring vegetables, including broccoli, brussels sprouts and onions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Despite the weather challenges, some farmers are making progress with the help of hothouses, hydroponics and other tactics to overcome spring’s stubborn refusal to show up.

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

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

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

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

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

Memphis Farmer’s Market is set to open April 4, and Tommy Bennett, of BennettBurks Nursery Farm, who sells

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

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

Families PARENTING

Handling kids’ public temper tantrums

By Jennifer Chung Kinsights.com (TNS)

As parents we have all had a tired toddler who hit his limit while out shopping or an excitable preschooler who just wanted to get his way.

The next time you take an outing, try some of these tips to make the outing enjoyable for everyone.

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

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

■ Practice whispering.

This may sound basic, but sometimes toddlers just don’t know how to whisper.

You can use a hand puppet to demonstrate outside voice, inside voice, and whisper voice.

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

■ When taking your kids to a public venue like church, a restaurant, or an outdoor concert at a park, the irst line of defense is to make sure it is an age-appropriate situation.

Second, set the expectations for what is acceptable behavior. Finally, tell your children in advance what the consequences are for being disruptive and follow through.

■ Empower your child to make good choices in public.

When it comes to a power struggle, allowing them to be in control of the outcome can be quite liberating. Be speciic about the behavior you expect.

■ When eating out at a restaurant, take plenty of things to keep your tot entertained.

When feasible, choose a family-friendly place to dine at and pack a bag of coloring books, puzzles, and small toys to keep them occupied.

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

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

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

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

HEALTH CARE ONLINE Patients take control of medical needs via virtual care

A

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“It goes from being the doctor’s medical record to being the patient’s medical record,” said Dr. R. Henry Capps Jr. of Novant Health Lakeside Family Physicians in Cornelius. “That’s a cultural transformation.”

While these virtual contacts may be

MEDICAL BOARD CONCERNS This issue has been a concern of the N.C. Medical Board, which until recently had a policy that appeared to preclude video visits. It said doctors should “ordinarily” examine patients in person before prescribing medicine.

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

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

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

“It has to be a physician who’s licensed in the state and in good standing (working with) a patient who is established in that practice already. That means somebody in that practice has at some point examined and diagnosed the patient,” he said. “ ...

You’ve got to have suicient information about that patient to reach a safe diagnosis before you prescribe or treat.”

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

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

By Karen Garloch The Charlotte Observer (TNS)

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

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

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

This “Virtual Visit” cost Straeten $49 but allowed her to avoid a trip to the doctor’s oice or a long wait in an emergency room.

It’s one of the latest conveniences emerging from Charlotte-area hospital systems and doctors groups as they embrace the world of electronic health records. more cost-efective than oice or emergency room visits, oicials at both hospital systems say their motivation is to make health care more convenient for patients.

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

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

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

IS IT SAFE? Some doctors still doubt the safety of treating some patients and conditions virtually.

Dr. Henry Smith, a Charlotte pediatrician for more than 40 years, said he recently saw four children who had been prescribed antibiotics from “virtual” health care providers that he did not identify.

Such prescribing is a “dangerous practice,” he said, because of the risk of a mistaken diagnosis and the potential for overuse of antibiotics that contributes to drug resistance.

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

GARDENING EVENTS

Soil work one of hard chores of gardening Here’s the deal about gardening: It’s work.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He also advised digging up the existing soil and blending in the amendments.

Water the new soil, and let it rest for two days. Mix again. If it’s not too wet, it’s time to plant.

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

EVELYN MOSLEY

The red flowers of pineapple sage, spicy orange nasturtium blooms as well as basil, sage and parsley thrive in a bed in Evelyn Mosley’s Germantown kitchen garden.

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

That’s because he does a lot of the heavy chores in the garden such as building raised beds and hauling and spreading mulch and soil amendments. I reiterate: Gardening is work.

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

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

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

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

One year, she tried “square foot gardening,” an intensive gardening technique advocated by Mel Bartholomew.

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

planting squares.

A tomato plant gets a square all to itself while a dozen or so radishes share the spot.

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

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

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

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

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

The visible soil is topped with mulch.

When the season is over, dump the soil onto the ground, and add some more amendments for next year’s garden.

Evelyn and Phil used railroad ties and landscape timbers to make their raised beds but now have beds edged with concrete building blocks with capstones.

Using hoops and row covers, they created a cozy spot for growing greens and other tough crops through the winter.

Erectile Dysfunction ASK DR. JOHNSON: Somebody who specializes in men’s Does Anything health.

Actually Work? sexual After extensive

Memphis for

The Answer is YES!

Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a straight up guy. I’ve held off on commenting on the erectile dysfunction (ED) controversy until I was able to really do my homework. Well the results are in.

Erectile dysfunction is a fact of life. www.hueyburger.com

1660 Bonnie Lane Cordova TN cordovamedical.com

Whether it occurs due to an accident, a recent surgery (prostate cancer is a biggie), diabetes, or simply due to aging, the accompanying loss of self esteem is something that effects millions of men every day.

And in a nutshell, that seems to be the problem - every man’s ED problem is different and requires different treatment.

research, the only approach that makes sense comes from companies called the Men’s Clinic that have been opening across the country. There’s one here in Memphis.

The Memphis Men’s Clinic specializes in ED and that’s all they do. Their doctors seem to be the only ones who realize that ED effects every man differently.

They have uniquely combined three medically approved ingredients for ED into 70 different formulations --- one of which will make “it” start happening immediately --- and I mean immediately for over 92% of all men experiencing ED. In fact, if “it” doesn’t start happening on the irst visit, you don’t pay a single penny.

Why didn’t my doctor tell me?

Don’t expect much help from your family doctor.

How you perform in the bedroom is not really his concern and he will probably just prescribe some “pills”.

What color is your favorite pill?

Regardless of your age -

Drug companies have jumped all over this like a --- well a drug company. I don’t have to say the names --- we’ve all seen the ads --- but they’ve spent millions trying to convince you all that one pill ixes all --- when in actuality they fail over 50% of the time. And that’s just a fact.

Dr. Johnson is a board-certiied physician specializing in men’s health at the Memphis Men’s Clinic.

Regardless of your medical history or your age --- they have satisied patients ranging from 23 to 91 --- if you suffer from ED you should call the--Memphis Men’s Clinic at ------901-443-0485 today to schedule an appointment and regain your sexual health.
