Catch of the day Families gather for annual youth fishing rodeo

Under the watchful eye of his grandmother, Jane Martin, Jude Martin cast his line in the lake at W.C. Johnson Park and patiently waited for a ish to bite.

Within a few moments, a ish nibbled on the bait — Jude gave a quick tug and reeled in his irst catch of the day. As the 6-year-old pulled in his ish, his dad, Keith Martin, shouted words of encouragement.

“Lookie there,” Keith Martin said to his son as he unhooked the small catish. “Give me ive.”

The city of Germantown’s proposed 2015-16 budget includes 3 percent merit raises for employees, as well as adding four new police oicers to work the evening shift.

The general fund budget is a 3 percent increase in expenditures over iscal 2015 estimates, for a total of $47,254,089. Public safety accounts for the largest chunk, with 39 percent, and general government expenses second with 28 percent.

The budget includes 22 capital projects totaling $10.5 million. The list includes projects to address roads and drainage, as well as the irst phase of a renovation of the Germantown Athletic Club. A total of 12 full-time positions will be added to the city, most in public safety.

City Administrator Patrick Lawton said he still considers the budget to be conservative, even with additional expenses.

“We are anticipating increases in retail and taxes with the development coming online, with both commercial and noncommercial,” Lawton said of several projects under way around the city.

Major businesses opening in the next few months include a boom in the grocery industry, with the addition of Whole Foods and Sprouts and an expansion of Kroger.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen will review the proposed budget in a work session tonight.

The Collierville Town Hall was one of 26 places in the Memphis area that participated in National Day of Prayer on May 7.

The ceremony took place on the steps of Town Hall and people from the community gathered on the large front lawn to watch. Mayor Stan Joyner presented a proclamation, which reminded us of the purpose for the National Day of Prayer. Joyner’s proclamation read, in part, “So that the colonists

could unite and resolve in a public expression of faith.” The proclamation was presented to Cindy Caver of the local National Day of Prayer Committee.

Before Dr. Chuck Herring with Collierville First Baptist Church began the prayers, he noted this is a critical time in our country.

“The multiplied prayers of people can literally change the world,” Herring said. “This may be the most important National Day of Prayer that we’ve had in a long time.”

A worship group from Herring’s church performed the song, “Sweeter As the Days Go By.”

Clergy members from several local churches gathered at Town Hall for Collierville’s celebration of National Day of Prayer.

Each clergy member who participated in Collierville’s ceremony led prayer for a diferent area.

Pastor Shamichael Hallman of New Direction Christian Church prayed for families; Pastor Terry Hunt of Collierville First Pentecostal for schools; Father Ernie DeBlasio of Incarnation Catholic Church for the country’s police; Reverend Birgitte

Collierville to cut cafeteria hours, some jobs Eliminates about $291K in staing hours

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

Collierville Schools will eliminate about $291,000 worth of staing hours in the cafeteria to balance its nutrition fund for next school year.

The district also expects to have to balance this year’s budget with a transfer of more than $200,000 from the general fund, Supt. John Aitken said.

The school board passed next year’s nutrition budget, along with the general fund and other special revenue budgets, in a meeting Monday.

Aitken said the staf cuts include a small number of eliminated positions, but the majority will be saved with reduced hours. Some positions will be lost through attrition. He said the cuts are to avoid having to do another general fund transfer next year.

“That’s money that I would rather spend in the classroom and on technology instead of deicits in the cafeteria,” Aitken said.

BUDGET

Collierville’s participation rate for students buying lunch is about 20 percent system-wide. The district has struggled with its cafeteria fund because of low participation numbers and low numbers of students who qualify for free and reduced-price lunches. Fourteen percent of Collierville’s population qualiies for a federal reimbursement, so they aren’t getting the revenue needed at the federal level to keep the fund in the black.

Among the six suburban districts, Millington Municipal Schools ofers all its students free lunch, but Lakeland, Germantown, Bartlett, Arlington

and Collierville have all had to revamp marketing eforts to encourage students to buy lunch.

Aitken said the size of this year’s deicit is not known yet, but he estimated it’s climbed a little over $200,000. The total nutrition budget for next year is just under $2 million.

Board chairman Mark Hansen said at the high school, one of the factors is an overcrowded building with too small of a cafeteria space, so students don’t have the time to wait in line and ind a spot to sit and eat.

He said it’s one of the factors discussed on how the district

should deal with a growing population and whether a new high school is the right answer.

“Obviously that’s a discussion that we have and are having with the architects and others in the town government about needs for the cafeteria,” he said.

The board also passed the $66.5 million general fund budget, which includes 20 new teaching positions and $500,000 for portable classrooms.

The six to eight portables would be purchased as part of next year’s budget but would be added to the high school campus the following year.

In brief

UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

Under the budget plan, the city’s approximately 385 full-time employees will have 3 percent merit raises, determined by their evaluations in the next month. Human Resources director Steve Wilensky said that will cost about $300,000.

Another wage adjustment, to increase minimum-wage pay 2 percent, will cost $7,800. Lawton said that will be done “to keep pace with the market.”

Public safety employees receive step increases, so they would not be eligible for the merit raises or the pay scale adjustments.

Public safety will get a manpower boost for both police and paramedics next year, and possibly even further police additions the following year.

Of the 12 new full-time positions, four will be police oicers and three will be paramedics.

Police Chief Richard Hall said the four oicers would be used as extra patrols during the evening shift, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. In iscal 2017, he said he hopes to add three more oicers. The seven would then make up a new patrol district, the city’s seventh, to cover the growing central business district.

“Businesses typically have more demand for calls for service ... I don’t want that increased call load to pull away from the citizens,” Hall said.

The four extra patrols would bring the total up to 95 commissioned oicers.

Hall said the upfront costs for hiring oicers is always more than it will cost to keep those oicers year after year. He has budgeted $345,464 for next iscal year for those four oicers, which includes training, their compensation and two new vehicles. The following year, those four oicers would cost the city an estimated $246,798.

He said that if for some reason they weren’t able to add three more oicers next year, the four new ones this year would help with increased coverage and deferring overtime costs racked up by increased patrols during the evening shift.

Hall said January’s string of two driveway robberies and a home invasion during three evenings in one week spurred increased details during that shift.

Lawton said the increased patrols are “a proactive approach to law enforcement.”

Just before Crystal Cook walked onstage to receive her doctorate in education at the University of Memphis graduation ceremonies Sunday afternoon, her mother reached up and straightened her cap.

Moments later, Dr. Helen Perkins — a professor at the U of M who also has a doctorate in education — followed her daughter onstage, then draped the hood over her head in the traditional ceremony for a person receiving such a degree.

It was all the pair could do to stem the tears. On this Mother’s Day, could anything have been more appropriate?

“It’s the best Mother’s Day present a mother can get!” an excited Perkins said just before the ceremony at FedExForum. “Your oldest getting a doctorate and pursuing the ield that I still love.”

Cook, 35, was one of 2,339 students earning degrees in two separate ceremonies Sunday for the spring portion of the U of M’s 103rd commencement.

Since its founding in 1912, the school has awarded 165,621 degrees.

Cook said Sunday that she

catish, one of the largest catches of the day, after using a piece of hot dog as bait.

After Sophia showed of her big catch to onlookers and, naturally, posed for a few congratulatory photos, Steve and Gina Stires placed the catish in the cooler, already cooking up plans on how to celebrate.

“We’re going to eat it,” Gina Stires said with a laugh.

While catching as many ish within the two-hour limit was the main attraction of the day, Keith Martin said it’s also a relaxing way to spend some time together with his family.

“He loves ishing,” Keith Martin said. “It’s bonding time between father and son.”

Letitia Watts, who lives

never wanted to do anything but follow her mother’s path.

“Both my parents are teachers.

I grew up watching them grade papers and talk about students,” said Cook, currently teaching English as a second language at Berclair Elementary. “I just grew up wanting to be a teacher.”

Receiving the degree on Mother’s Day had another special meaning for Cook: It was just a little more than a year ago that she gave birth to a very premature daughter. Taylor spent 62 days in the neonatal intensive care unit, and her mother had no interest in working on her dissertation during her daughter’s struggle for life. But Perkins talked to her daughter, stressing the importance of inishing what she’d started.

“For a few months, I didn’t have a passion to inish this,” said Cook, who now has a healthy 1-year-old daughter. “My mother encouraged me. I got it done.”

Delivering the commencement

address, Methodist Le Bonheur CEO Gary Shorb encouraged the students to follow their passions but also to remain engaged in civic life.

“Be sure you do something you truly love. ... I’m a licensed engineer, running a health care facility. Go igure. You never know where your passion will lead you,” he said, before issuing a call for all those who packed FedExForum to cast ballots on Election Day. “On average locally, we have 30 to 40 percent voter turnout when it should be at least 75 percent.”

Another graduate Sunday was Shondolyn Sanders, who earned a master’s degree in counseling.

Speaking to a reporter just before walking out into the arena, Sanders likely said what most of those graduates were feeling Sunday afternoon.

“When you walk across the stage,” she said, “it’s leaving this behind and stepping into the next stage of life.”

in downtown Memphis, agreed with Martin — ishing rodeos can be a great way for parents to spend time with their children.

This is the second year Watts and her son, Jakhari Williams, have participated in the Collierville ishing rodeo.

Williams, who said he has been ishing for about four years, already has plans to attend the ishing rodeo at Catch ‘em Lake at Agricenter International this weekend and the annual Germantown youth ishing rodeo on June 6.

“It’s a good opportunity for him,” Watts said. “It’s a learning experience.”

At the end of the rodeo, the youngsters turned in their ish and prizes were given away to those who won their respective age divisions. The winners were: 6 and under: Matthew Walko (10 pounds, 4 ounces) 7 and 8: Sophia Stires (15 pounds, 5 ounces) 9 and 10: Reece Overby (14 pounds, 1 ounces) 11 and 12: Alex Gnapp (31 pounds, 5 ounces).

A Collierville man has been indicted on charges that he sexually assaulted a child repeatedly over two years, oicials said Tuesday.

Matthew Williams, 29, was indicted on eight counts of rape of a child, felonies that each carry a punishment of 15 to 25 years in prison with no parole. Matthew Williams is Williams being held in the Shelby County Jail on $500,000 bond.

Investigators said the 10-year-old girl told her mother last June that Williams had been sexually molesting her for about two years. According to his proile on LinkedIn, Williams was a piano and voice teacher at Hope Presbyterian Church, as well as at the Cordova Music Academy.

Bringing faith by the truckload

Terry Morris looks for a favorite passage in the new pocket Bible he was given during the weekly More on Monday food ministry at Manna House.

Logistics CEO finds way to help Memphis, Honduras Logistics is more inspiring than it sounds.

Thirty years ago, for example, a Memphis man igured out a more eicient and efective way to unload trucks.

As a result, hundreds of children in Honduras are being housed, fed, educated and cared for, medically and otherwise.

And hundreds of other children in Memphis are receiving school supplies, mentoring and afterschool care.

The Memphis man is David Hamilton, founding president and CEO of Impact Logistics in Bartlett.

Last year, Impact and its 2,000 nationwide employees generated nearly $50 million in sales.

Hamilton is one of the reasons Memphis has more logistics and supply chain management-related jobs per capita than any other big city in the country.

He’s also one of the reasons Memphis is one of the nation’s most generous cities per capita.

The Hamilton family’s Point of Impact ministry funds several churches, kindergartens, orphanages and medical programs in Honduras. “David is a model corporate citizen,� said Robert C. Byrd, chairman and co-founder of the Bank of Barlett. “Bartlett and the Greater Memphis community need and can use more just like him.�

Hamilton didn’t set out to become a model corporate citizen or a supply chain mover and shaker.

He just started unloading trucks at a tire store his dad managed. “I needed a job,� said Hamilton, a matter-offact guy in a matter-of-fact business. “It was my dad’s idea to do something more with it. I just worked hard and got lucky.�

So did a lot of children.

Hamilton took his dad’s idea and his hourly wage job and turned it into a service that saved trucking companies time, money and headaches.

In the process, he made enough money to start doing something really important. His occupation became his vocation.

It all began when Hamilton, his wife, Ruth, and their two daughters went on a church mission trip to Honduras in 1999. They met a pastor who was working with young gang members.

The Hamiltons started sending him monthly donations. Then they got involved directly, making regular trips to the country, working with the pastor and the children and families there. “When we got to know some of the kids and their situation,� Hamilton said, “well, it wasn’t enough just to send checks.�

The Hamiltons visit Honduras several times a year. One of their daughters will be moving there this fall to be the house mother for the girls’ orphanage.

The family, members of Fellowship Memphis, also give their time and resources to Memphis Athletic Ministries, Manna House and other local faith-based nonproits. “I look at the business success I’ve had, and I realize it wasn’t me. How could it be me?� Hamilton said. “I didn’t go to college.

I couldn’t even get into college. I got a 13 on my ACT. The way I see it, ultimately, God gave me this business to do something good with it, to bless others in need.�

Memphis has been blessed by a long line of model corporate citizens — entrepreneurs who turned businesses into community improvement enterprises. Church.

Plough. Walker. Wilson.

Smith. Hyde. Cates. Rose.

The line goes on.

DAVID WATERS COLUMNIST

As the Greater Memphis Chamber embarks on its mission to create 1,000 entrepreneurs in 10 years, let’s hope the line gets even longer. “I want to inspire other business owners and people who make millions to realize you don’t have to have all that. You don’t need all that. Nobody needs all that. Take that money and invest it in someone’s life. But don’t just throw money at it.

Throw yourself at it irst.�

Hamilton and his family live well enough. They live in a large suburban home.

They have a lake house and boat. They take vacations.

They sent their daughters to private colleges. “I’m no saint,� Hamilton said. “I don’t give it all away to the poor. We live more than comfortably.

But I’m working on that. I know I don’t need all the stuf I have.�

Special to The Weekly

In the carpeted streets of JA BizTown, high school students from Madonna Learning Center in Germantown took on roles common of any typical town.

Some served as public oicials, ensuring rules of the simulated city were upheld, while some worked as bank tellers and savings oicers to help classmates deposit paychecks into their bank accounts. Others made certain no stomach was left unilled in the interactive facility’s snack shop, where the students baked cookies and served refreshments.

On this day, each student was assigned a job and each was responsible for managing their inances and everyone had fun while also taking the day very seriously.

“We do things a bit diferently for the kids at Madonna Learning Center, but the experience is just as efective as when any other school walks through these doors,” said Hallie Hogan, JA BizTown manager. “They take away such pride in a job well done, and the knowledge they gain here isn’t easily found in

Schools GERMANTOWN

Board to vote on school architect selection Scheduled for Monday session

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

The Germantown Municipal School District is moving forward with two major capital improvement projects with the anticipated hiring of an architectural and engineering irm to design more speciic plans and estimate costs.

The school board last Wednesday discussed

hiring Lakeland-based irm A2H to design plans for both an expansion of Riverdale School and a new elementary campus.

The agreement will be on the board’s Monday agenda.

Supt. Jason Manuel said the appointment has to happen for the city to be able to approve bond sales.

“Their recommendation was to get tighter numbers, get more details from an architectural irm on what the costs would be,” he said.

A request for qualiications was issued in February, with the six municipal

districts’ shared services committee narrowing the ield. Director of operations Josh Cathey said the district used A2H for its irst major capital project, a replacement of windows at Farmington Elementary.

“They were very responsive, great to work with,” he said.

The company also developed preliminary site plans for the district, which the board presented to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen during a retreat in January. Board chairman Lisa Parker said those plans were done for free, but these will be

much more extensive.

The cost of the engineering and design work will be 6 percent of the total project cost. The cost for Riverdale’s expansion and the elementary school has been estimated at $23 million. If that cost holds, the engineering work would be worth $1.38 million.

If for some reason the district approved the company to do the design and engineering work, but did not end up building the expansion or the elementary school, the district would still owe the engineers that money.

Manuel said the district will put the money it receives from the Shelby County Commission for capital improvements toward the construction, but the city would have to issue bonds to cover the rest.

The district receives about $1 million a year from the commission.

Representatives from A2H were present to answer questions, and said the hope is to have speciic enough drawings and coinciding price tag ready

by August for the school board to present to the city. Board member Ken Hoover said he was con-

cerned the tight timeline would mean sacrificing innovation.

Company representatives said as long as they could meet with the school oicials frequently during the next few months, they could be creative with designs in the short time frame.

Manuel provided updated numbers on growth potential in the city to illustrate the need for the new school facilities.

Manuel said full buildout of the city could leave the district with anywhere from 775 to 1,500 extra kids to educate each year.

Upper class keeps in the ‘loop’ with younger students

Houston wins third consecutive Gold Jeferson Banner

By Mylissa Horrocks Special to The Weekly

Collierville’s Brooke Rendall is an ECS senior who will soon attend Mississippi State University.

Despite her busy year, which has included varsity cross country, track and basketball while maintaining a 4.3 GPA, Rendall has made time for LOOP Club.

LOOP was started in 2013

by ECS lower school mom, Laura Coleman. Coleman wanted a chance for her young children to build relationship with some of ECS’s outgoing seniors.

The group serves to “loop” ECS seniors back to some of

the school’s fourth and ifth grade students at the Forest Hill campus in Germantown. Twice a month, four senior boys and ive senior girls trek from the upper school campus in Cordova to Germantown to meet with the youth.

During one of these bimonthly sessions, the upperclassmen share a time of Bible study and character training with the kids. During the next visit, the group shares lunch together.

“Our school is a place where we work to incorporate all ages and grades together in a community,” said Rendall. “We believe in discipleship, and the best

way to do that is with this type of mentor program. It has been a joy to be a part of these kids’ lives.”

Tessa Berner said, “We loved sharing scripture with the younger kids, and they so enjoyed having us there.”

Berner will attend University of Tennessee Knoxville next year and hopes to major in business. She played varsity soccer for ECS while maintaining a post as the senior class president.

Joanne Lamberth, prin-

No Interest for 25 Months** 3-Ton System Installed Starting at

cipal at ECS’s Forest Hill campus, has enjoyed the program for her upper elementary students.

“The seniors have been so faithful and organized with their morning Bible studies, and they have been equally friendly and relational as they joined our (fourth and ifth graders) for lunch. It has been a joy to see the smiling faces of these teenagers, whether early in the morning or at lunch time,” Lamberth said.

Mylissa Horrocks is with ECS.

Special to The Weekly

For the third consecutive year, Houston High School has won the Gold Jeferson Awards Banner for student volunteerism.

Since 2011, Houston High School has been an active member of the Jefferson Awards for Public Service Students in Action program, which “empowers students to think big, choose their own public service, engage their entire school and broader communities, and create impact.”

Each year, as part of the nomination process, schools must document

how they engage the school and community in volunteerism, track the number of volunteers and volunteer hours, and document the impact their eforts make on the community.

During the irst semester, Houston documented more than 2,000 volunteers (students and community members), 10,500 service hours and more than $31,000 in donations to local non-proit organizations, including the Salvation Army, Make-aWish Foundation and the Mid-South Food Bank.

Stacey Ewell is the assistant to the City Administrator.

In the News fallen heroes

FINAL SALUTE

Law enforcement oicers salute during the presentation of colors during the 10th annual Fallen Heroes Remembrance Service at Memorial Park on May 7.

oicers, emergency personnel killed on duty are remembered

By Yolanda Jones yojones@desotoappeal.com 901-333-2014

These are troubled times for police oicers across the country.

Few understand the gravity of that sentiment as well as Anthony Petrina. In September 2013, an excited Petrina attended his brother’s police academy graduation. On May 7, he attended a solemn ceremony to remember his younger brother, Michael Petrina, and other Mid-South law enforcement who lost their lives in the line of duty.

“Michael had only been on duty for eight months. He never got a chance to participate in a ceremony like this, but since he can’t be here we are here for him,” Anthony Petrina said about his brother, a Germantown native and Metro Nashville police oicer who was killed when a motor home struck him while he was directing traic on Interstate 65 near Brentwood last May. The annual Fallen Heroes Memorial Service was about honoring the fallen irst responders. But it was also boosting the morale of those still standing who are increasingly being scrutinized by the public.

Shelby County Sherif Deputy Mark Mayall plays “Taps” during the service.

“Father, I know they have diicult jobs, and the jobs have only gotten harder because of the scrutiny,” said Rev. Mitch Dunn with the Shelby County Sherif’s Oice during his invocation prayer. “We need to do everything we can to respect the names of the individuals that are up on this wall, who died honorably to protect us.”

The ceremony, in its 10th year at Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery, honored those from 20 Mid-South agencies and departments.

More than 200 attended the outdoor service.

Tipton County Sherif J.T. “Pancho” Chumley, the guest speaker, was among those at the ceremony who had lost a

family member killed in the line of duty.

On Aug. 14, 1997, his brother, Sgt. Charles Lanny Bridges with the Covington Police Department, was shot and killed after responding to a possible suicide call.

“Since the day I took oice,

I have kept the badge and service weapon of my brother.

I will always remember,” Chumley said.

As the hourlong service ended with a rile volley and a lock of doves being released, family members left lowers on the steps of the memorial.

“I thought the service was beautiful and just very honored that they take time to honor the fallen oicers,” said DreAle Murphy, who attended in remembrance of her uncle, Rupert Peete, a Shelby County Sherif’s deputy, killed March 8, 2000.

We need to do everything we can to respect the names of the individuals that are up on this wall, who died honorably to protect us.” Rev. Mitch Dunn, Shelby County Sherif’s Oice

COLLIERVILLE

Optimist Club names Justin Weaver Oicer of the Year Special to The Weekly

On May 6, Memphis/ Shelby County Optimist Club president Donnie Walden shook Collierville police oicer Justin Weaver’s hand and thanked him for the work he has done in the Collierville community.

Weaver is the 2014 recipient of the Oicer of the Year award, given annually during Respect for Law Week by the Optimist Club’s Respect for Law Committee.

Weaver and his family sat in the front row of Collierville’s Municipal Court as Mayor Stan Joyner presented his proclamation to Walden.

Walden then presented Weaver with the award and police chief Larry Goodwin read aloud the letter that he wrote nominating Weaver for the honor.

“I want to read my nomination letter so that all attending today’s ceremony will have an appreciation of the accomplishments and service of Officer Weaver,” Goodwin said.

Weaver joined the Collierville Police Department in 2008 and within a short time, he demonstrated a natural ability for narcotics crime. Weaver was later promoted to detective in the division’s Special Enforcement Unit after he had served ive

years as a patrolman. In April 2014, Weaver inished training with his new partner Rosco, a Belgian Malinois, the Collierville Police Department’s new K-9.

Weaver and Rosco have proved to be an efective team. Together they’ve made 99 narcotic arrests, six of which resulted in vehicle seizure. They’ve also made 15 arrests for other violations, issued 99 traic tickets, 397 courtesy warnings and have tracked suspects that have led crime scenes. They’ve also assisted in 65 other arrests.

Though he is relatively young in his law enforcement career, Weaver is already passing on his knowledge and experience by acting as a ield training oicer to train new recruits. His willingness to pass on what he has learned and continues to learn is part of what makes him so valuable to the Collierville Police Department. As he received his award, Weaver expressed his gratefulness to the department for providing him with the opportunity to serve in Collierville and also thanked his family.

Families Some parents go to extremes to keep their kids away from unvaccinated peers

HEALTH

Measles vaccine protects children

By Anthony L. Komarof, M.D. universal uclick

Dear Doctor K: Should I vaccinate my daughter against measles?

PhoTos by bob ChAmberLin/Los AngeLes Times/Tns

Retno Sulstrijo (left) holds Soraya Wallitsch, 2, as she and Dillan Handman (center), 3, along with instructor Benny Harnish, play at the piano at Toddle Tunes in Los Angeles. The music enrichment program has banned children who are unvaccinated, unless for medical reasons, from attending classes.

DODGING THE RISK

By Emily Foxhall Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — A Bay Area mother formed a Facebook page where parents could arrange play dates for their children with other vaccinated youngsters. Another mom advocates socially isolating the unvaccinated by asking parents if their child is inoculated before accepting a birthday invitation, or even using the swings at the playground. And a Los Angeles mom says she now asks about vaccine records when she buys used baby clothing.

The ierce debate over childhood vaccines is prompting some parents to take extreme measures to make sure their children are segregated from the unvaccinated.

“If you can’t keep your kids healthy, then what’s the point?” said Heather Peterson, who applied to a new preschool after learning that the secondlanguage French and Spanish immersion school her daughter attends had a worrisome vaccine record.

The current measles outbreak has heightened the concern.

Pasadena mother Ariel Loop took all the precautions she felt necessary to protect her son.

Loop and her husband waited until their son Mobius received the vaccine for diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus before inally taking him to Disneyland, she said.

But two weeks after a January visit to the theme park, a red rash appeared on their son.

“There’s just no way,” Loop said she thought. “No way.”

Matthew Mueller (right) leads youngsters in song as they chase bubbles at Toddle Tunes. Parents of most of Toddle Tunes’ students have praised the business for its strict vaccine policy.

Mobius’ fever hovered below 102 degrees. Loop, a nurse, gave him Tylenol and a cool bath, but his temperature raged. So they went to the emergency room that afternoon. Days later they received the diagnosis: measles.

The fear of having a child contract a contagious childhood disease has grown in recent years, prompting some parents to rethink choices and activities that once seemed innocuous.

Bay Area mother Jocelyn Hybiske helped form a Facebook group called “No Mumps Meet ups,” where parents could easily arrange play dates with other vaccinated children.

L.A. mother Rachel Deutsch said she now asks about vaccination before buying or accepting used baby clothing or gear from other parents and balks at taking her infant son to events where there could be a crowd.

Deutsch has supported pend-

ing state legislation that would restrict vaccine exemptions to medical needs and views tougher laws as a way to keep children out of harm’s way.

Leah Russin, a Palo Alto, mother, said she’s also jumped aboard the movement to tighten laws on vaccine exemptions.

Jenna Karvunidis, a mother of three who recently moved to L.A. urged other parents to ask about vaccination rates before paying tuition and agreeing to do even mundane things that might put a child at risk, such as sharing swings, attending parties or holding elevator doors.

It’s unfair, she said, for parents to be pushed into isolation because others refuse or are slow to have their children vaccinated.

Some parents have found refuge at private institutions with stricter vaccine policies such as Toddle Tunes, a music enrichment program for infants and

children. The West Los Angeles business allows only vaccinated children, or those with medical reasons for not being vaccinated, to be permitted in class.

When the measles outbreak began, some of the students stopped coming. But after the policy change, parents praised the decision, sent in vaccination records and breathed “huge sighs of relief,” Mueller said.

One mother, Beth Wegner, joined dozens of others in expressing thanks on the company’s Facebook page: “Toddle Tunes is now oicially the irst public place I feel safe bringing my family,” she wrote.

Wegner had delayed some shots during their son’s irst year because of health reasons.

There is a “happy medium” between sealing kids in their rooms and endangering them, said David Ziring, a Toddle Tunes parent and associate professor of pediatrics at UCLA’s David Gefen School of Medicine.

Ziring and his wife pulled their daughter out of a preschool after another child contracted whooping cough.

And as a pediatric gastroenterologist, Ziring sometimes wears a mask when seeing an unvaccinated patient. The next child he sees could be a transplant patient who may not have been able to stay up to date on vaccines.

Plus, his 2-year-old is not yet old enough to be fully immunized.

Every time he walks into a room with an unvaccinated child, Ziring says, his responsibility to protect his daughter comes to mind. “It’s not necessarily about personal liberty as much as it is about public health.”

ALTRUISM

Acts of kindness multiply in memory of grandmother

By Larry Larue The news Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)

(Tns)

TACOMA, Wash. — Before it careened out of control — before she decided to perform 600 acts of kindness in one year — Alex McKelvey began with one.

She was 6 years old when her maternal grandmother, Linda, died in September 2013.

“Mom and Grandma were best buddies, and Mom cried a lot when she passed on,” Alex said. “I told her Grandma was up in heaven. I was sad, too, but I comforted her.”

Alex’s mother, Sarah, said she and Alex decided to perform 60 acts of kindness before March 22, 2014 — which would have been Linda’s 60th birthday.

There were rules.

“I try to do acts of kindness at home, but they don’t count,” Alex said.

“You have to do them for

someone you don’t know, or as a surprise for someone you do know, like one of your teachers.”

Sarah and Alex came up with dozens of ideas, and husband/father Army Sgt. Richard McKelvey added support — both moral and inancial — to the Lakewood family’s actions.

The acts ranged from small — leaving a quarter taped to a gumball machine — to the more ambitious. On Valentine’s Day, Halloween and Easter, the McKelvey women wrap a candy treat and a $1 bill in 100 ribbon-tied napkins or eggs and hand them out at an area shopping center.

“One of them will have a $100 bill,” Sarah said.

The McKelveys leave large tips for deserving restaurant staff when they dine out. Often, that might mean a $100 bill for the crew of a fast-food restaurant.

“We’re not rich or close

to it,” said Sarah, a caseworker for a mental health group. “But we decided to use our inances a little diferently. We’re giving up a few luxury things, and we’ve chosen to live a simple life.

“Originally, I think it was my idea, the 60 acts of kindness to honor my mother. But Alex embraced it and took charge.

Last March 22, when we’d done our 60 acts of kindness, Alex said, ‘Let’s do 600 this year.’”

Alex is now 8, a irstgrader at Life Christian Academy.

“I picked 600 because it was 10 times more than 60,” Alex said. “And we’re not going to stop there. We’re going to do thousands, then a million. I’d like to reach so many people.”

This past year has been a busy one for the McKelvey family, thanks to Alex’s goal.

A recent weekend, for

instance, climaxed an act of kindness that had been in the works for weeks. The three McElveys showed up at a local YMCA and, with friends and volunteering staf members, repainted the Youth Center.

And that wasn’t all.

“We took donations online, put in our own money and got some contributions

from stores,” Sarah said.

“We’re giving the center all new board games and gaming tables and even a new piece of art.”

All of it counted as a single act of kindness.

“It’s number 485, and it counts as one,” Alex said between strokes with a roller. “I love doing things for people.”

Answer: I was born before there was a measles vaccine, and I got the measles. Like most kids, I had a rash and a fever. (I’ve put a photo of the measles rash on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) And, like most kids, within one or two weeks I was back to normal.

I remember, though, that my mother seemed more worried about me than she had been when I caught other viral illnesses. She knew three things I didn’t.

First, measles could sometimes cause very serious illness (blindness, brain and lung infections), even death. I learned later that a boy down the street had developed permanent brain damage from measles several months before.

Second, there was nothing she and my father could do to protect my sister and me. There was no vaccine.

Third, measles was very common. In the United States each year, at least 500,000 kids got measles.

Of those, nearly 50,000 were sick enough to be hospitalized. About 1,000 became permanently injured and about 500 died.

The measles vaccine — called MMR, for measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) — was introduced in 1968, and parents breathed a sigh of relief.

Most kids got the measles shot, and by the 1990s measles had been eliminated in the U.S. Now and then a child coming to the U.S. from elsewhere would get measles, but it wouldn’t spread because kids in the U.S. were protected by the vaccine. Then things began to change.

In 2014, there were 644 reported cases of measles in the United States. That’s because for about 20 years, a growing number of parents have been reluctant to have their children get the recommended vaccines.

Some states allow refusals for personal or religious reasons.

Vaccines do two important things. First, they protect your child against disease. Second, when your child gets a measles shot, it not only protects your child; it also protects all the kids who come into contact with your child.

And the measles vaccine is safe.

The measles vaccine is more than 95 percent efective, but it’s not perfect. If it’s not perfect, how did we eliminate measles?

When nearly all the kids got the vaccine, in the United States, a country of 320 million people, there were 0-80 cases a year.

That’s close to eliminating measles. But now we’re going backward.

Should parents have a right not to let their kids get a vaccine? This is a free country. We have a right to do and say a lot of things that others might not like.

But my right to extend my arm and ist stops at the tip of your nose.

I would ask this question of parents choosing not to have their kids get the measles vaccine: Should your neighbor have a right to refuse to give her kids the measles vaccine, if that puts your kids at risk?

I strongly advise you to get your daughter vaccinated with the MMR vaccine.

STUDENTS VS. TEACHERS On May 1, Tara Oaks Elementary hosted its second annual student versus faculty basketball game. The event was organized by the school resource officer, Ryan Lambert (right), to benefit Main Street Collierville and provide support for faculty member professional development. Competition was fierce as students challenged teachers and both teams were evenly matched, which made the games extremely fun to watch. Fifth-grader Dylan Lufcy dunks on teacher Neal Asbury while getting an assist from Lambert.

Gryphons earn first regional trophy MVP Connor Green too much for Lions

Collierville’s CJ Fleming (left) tags out Houston’s Jack Kenley at third base during the District 15-AAA tournament championship at Germantown High’s Red Devil Field last Wednesday. Collierville edged Houston 7-5 to win the district title.

District champs Dragons defeat Mustangs for title

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Beating your arch-rivals to win a championship is one thing. Beating them twice makes it all the more special.

Collierville won the District 15-AAA championship May 6, defeating Houston, 7-5. Both teams then won region semiinal games on Monday to advance to Wednesday’s Region 8-AAA tournament inals.

“We challenged them,” said Dragons coach Jef Hopkins. “We challenged them to be just like that old country mule and come out and pin their ears back. I wanted them to play aggressively, with passion and intensity, and I’m just so proud.”

The Dragons (28-14-1), who had to beat Houston twice to win the championship in the double elimination tournament, wouldn’t have even been in a position to win if not for a monster performance in the opener from senior shortstop Parker Phillips, who homered twice in a 9-3 victory.

Phillips, who has signed with Austin Peay, hit a three-run shot in the fourth inning that put Collierville ahead 4-1.

Houston cut it to 4-3 on Jack Kenley’s two-run double in the ifth before Phillips hit another three-run homer — to virtually the same spot in left-center — as part of Collierville’s ive-run sixth.

In the nightcap, the Dragons built a big lead early before hanging on.

Jesse Kelley drove in a run in the irst with a single and Collierville scored two more in the second as Fulton Johnson singled with the bases loaded. Kelley tripled in two more in the third to make it 5-0.

Houston (26-8) made it 5-4 in the third on two-run singles from Cooper Bullough and Coleman Blair. The Mustangs then had the tying run up in the seventh before reliever Braden Green ended the game with a strikeout.

Teammates congratulate Parker Phillips (center, top) after one of his two 3-run home runs during the championship games of the District 15-AAA baseball tournament.

IN OTHER BASEBALL 14-AAA: C.J. Burrow allowed two hits over six innings as Bartlett (28-7) won the championship with a 5-0 victory over Arlington (28-6) at USA Stadium in Millington. Christian Busby paced the Panthers’ ofense with three hits, two RBI and two steals.

Division 2-AA West: Tyler Walton pitched a complete-game ive-hitter to improve to 7-1 as CBHS (31-8) wrapped up its best-of-three substate series against Briarcrest (19-10) with a 6-0 victory. ...

Trey Urban pitched St. Benedict (25-9) to an 8-2 victory over MUS in Game 1 of their best-of-three series. Game 2 is set for Thursday at 4:30 p.m. at St. Benedict.

IN SOFTBALL 15-AAA: Kelsey Gross struck out nine and Shelby Crocker hit a three-run homer as Collierville (26-5) won the championship with a come-from-behind 7-4 victory over Houston (21-8). Mary Collins and Cassidy West hit home runs for the Mustangs, who led 3-1 before the Dragons took control with a ive-run ifth.

14-AAA: Taylor Manley won her 20th game of the year, pitching a complete-

game four-hitter with nine strikeouts as Arlington captured the title with a 4-0 victory over Bartlett. Savannah Baker had a clutch two-run single in the ifth for the Tigers, who are now 26-7. The Panthers eliminated Bolton earlier in the day, 17-5, to advance to the inal.

IN TRACK Division 2 West Region decathlon/pentathlon: Jack Heathcott of Memphis Uni-

versity School won four events en route to the championship, narrowly edging out Briarcrest Christian School’s Daniel Tell.

Heathcott — who inished irst in the pole vault (11-5), 110-meter hurdles (17.33), shot put (35-3 1/4) and high jump (5-9 3/4) — inished with 5,337 points, just 23 better than Tell, who also won four events. Ryan Pahlow of MUS was third with 5,242 points.

Jordan Shackleford of Evangelical Christian School won the pentathlon.

She scored 2,949 points. Harding’s Sarah Lutrell was second with 2,852 and Alyssa Neuberger of Briarcrest was third with 2,730. All three advanced to next week’s state championship meet.

After the proud moms had gotten their team pictures following St. George’s victory over Harding in the Division 2-A West Regional baseball championship game, someone asked the team if they’d like to “take a fun one.”

And when a couple of players responded in the negative the message was clear: These Gryphons are all business.

St. George’s got a terriic start from Travis Kelly and got all the ofense it would need from tournament MVP Connor Green as it won the region for the irst time, 7-0 over the Lions on Friday at ECS. The victory sends the Gryphons, the top seed from the West, into the substate round, where they will host the Ezell Harding-Franklin Road Academy loser.

Second-seeded Harding will host the winner, with those winners advancing to Spring Fling, which begins Tuesday in Murfreesboro.

“I just give all the credit to these guys,” said Gryphons coach Buzz Walthall. “They come ready to play every night and they just ind a way.”

St. George’s (24-13) had to defeat Harding twice to win the double-elimination tournament and forced Friday’s decider with a 3-2 victory last Thursday. But there was no doubt about Game 2, thanks in large part to Kelly.

The sophomore kept the Lions of balance for much of the game, allowing just ive hits over six innings. Peyton Smith pitched a 1-23 seventh to close it out.

“I just pitched to contact,” Kelly said. “The defense made some great plays and that just makes me want to get back on the mound and throw strikes.”

It was the second straight clutch victory of the postseason for Kelly, who beat Northpoint Christian School in an earlier elimination game.

Kelly got all the ofense he would need in the irst inning.

After Curt Bennett drove in the irst run, Green — who is headed to Ole Miss — hit a Robert Mihalko ofering to deep left-center.

Outielders Noah Sharp and Jake Sutton collided, allowing Green to come all the way around with a two-run, inside-the-park homer.

Sharp and Sutton were OK, but the damage had been done.

“We’ve been kind of living on the edge all season,” said Lions coach Al Stevens. “We’ve struggled at the plate all year; we’ve lost six games by one run. We fought until the end and I’m very proud of them, (but) as you know in baseball, you have to get the big hits.”

SOCCER

CBHS senior standout Monserrat triumphs over retinoblastoma

By John Varlas varlas@commercialappeal.com 901-529-2350

Juan Monserrat pulls out his phone and loads up a video that neatly sums up the story of his life.

“Sorry about the voice,” he laughs.

The voice belongs to an 11-year-old Juan, who narrates the story of how he made the journey from his homeland of Argentina to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Juan, now 18 and a standout on the Christian Brothers soccer team, watches the images licker by and says something that may be hard for some to believe.

“It’s funny,” he said. “Cancer is the worst thing that ever happened in my life. But at the same time, it was also the best thing.”

Monserrat — who was born in Cordoba, the second-largest city in Argentina — was just a little over a year old when his grandmother noticed a deviation in his eye. He was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma. In layman’s terms, a cancerous tumor.

And here is where divine in-

tervention, fate — whatever you want to call it — came into play.

Monserrat’s father, Juan Sr., wrote a letter to President Carlos Menem, who took up the family’s cause and secured Monserrat a place in a prominent Argentine hospital. Then his grandfather ran into a friend whom he hadn’t seen in ages, who just happened to have a relative who was a patient at St. Jude. That got the process started — again with help from President Menem — that brought Monserrat and his family to Memphis.

“My family is Catholic, but my parents didn’t really practice,” he said. “They were just normal people. They never heard dreamed of coming to America ... (and) they were just in disbelief.

“It was hard for my parents.

They had to drop their whole lives and come to America. It brought us back to our faith.”

A long process of radiation treatments and surgeries followed before Monserrat was declared cancer-free. And even after, he made regular visits each year to make sure the cancer hadn’t return.

Juan Monserrat Sr. and Maria Monserrat join their son, Juan Monserrat, on the field for senior night at Christian Brothers High School.

Monserrat “graduated” from St. Jude in late April, just a couple of weeks before last Saturday’s CBHS commencement.

“There are a lot of great people at the hospital and I’m sure I’ll miss it,” he said.

Picking up your whole life and moving to another country would be diicult enough under normal circumstances. And Monserrat’s situation was far from normal.

But soccer helped. In fact, one of the highlights of the video St. Jude produced about Monserrat is one in which he shows of his deft dribbling skills while wearing the famous sky-blue and white jersey of the Argentine national team.

“Everybody in Argentina plays,” he said. “My dad bought me a ball and I’d play when I was in the mood. It was a distraction, but I grew to love the game.”

He’s also grown into one of the area’s better players, a strong technical midielder who played a key role in the Brothers’ 2014 state championship team and who will also be counted on heavily if they’re to repeat.

If you were to watch Monserrat, you’d never know what he’s been through. The only consolation to his eyes is his trademark tinted goggles.

“I’m not allowed to wear contacts because of the possibility of infection,” he said. “I was reluctant to wear the goggles at irst, but when the ball was crossed to me, I couldn’t see it until it was right on top of me. The guys on the team tell me I need windshield wipers on them.”

First-year Brothers coach Nick Glaser said he’s grateful for Monserrat’s contributions — on and of the ield.

“Don’t let him fool you,” he said. “He’s a quiet guy, but he’ll get after it. He’s got the great technical ability because he grew up around the game. And he’s got a sly way of keeping everyone laughing and on their toes.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;ECS shines with 11 Orpheum Award Nominations for Shrek the Musicalâ&#x20AC;?

For the second year in a row, ECSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring musical performance has been awarded 11 nominations by the Orpheum Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s High School Musical Awards.

Sophomore Stephen Timberlake played Shrek, while Senior Kathryn Sterling played Fiona. Both were nominated in their lead roles.

Sophomore Brice Boyer played the diminutive Lord Faraquaad, and was also nominated for the role. At 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;1â&#x20AC;?, he played the role entirely on his knees.

Nominations were as follows: Outstanding Artistic Element - Fionas Tower Outstanding Student Orchestra Outstanding Dance Execution Outstanding Hair and Makeup Outstanding Costuming Outstanding Set Design Outstanding Technical Achievement Featured Actor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brice Boyer Lead Actress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kathryn Sterling Lead Actor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen Timberlake Outstanding Achievement in Musical Theatre Shrek the Musical played for 7 nights in February to nearly soldout crowds.

April means spring, and for the ECS eighth grade class it means Shiloh! As part of their study of the Civil War, eighth graders have taken the trek to Shiloh for the past twelve years. Led by their American History teacher,Lynn Garrott, who has been at ECS for 25 years, they left early in the morning of April 29th, a date close to the anniversary of the actual battle on April 6-7, 1862.

The class traveled in chartered buses with a Civil War historian in period dress on each bus.

As they made their way through Collierville and LaGrange, the historians explained how the war had affected those areas. They also displayed some of the lags of the war and showed a video of the Battle of Shiloh. These historians are sometimes cast in roles in Civil War videos and ilms.

The students enjoyed the instruction and the time to visit with friends.

At Shiloh the group was irst treated to the iring of muskets similar to those used in the war.

The buses moved through the park to the edge of the Tennessee River where students modeled Civil War uniforms provided by the historians. They learned about the battle and climbed the embankment to the actual cemetery. During the day they visited major battle sites such as the Peach Orchard, the Sunken Road, and the Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest. Students learned the procedure for iring cannons, and the groups from the two buses charged each other across a ield.

A bit closer to home

By Brady McCombs Associated Press

HANKSVILLE, Utah — Four people wearing space helmets and square backpacks emerge from a circular structure resembling a water tank and step onto a reddish, barren landscape.

One hikes up a hill to take magnetic readings of the ground with a rectangular apparatus that looks like a large leveling tool. Another pushes a wheelbarrow equipped with sensors arrayed in a zig-zag pattern.

For a group of six Belgian college students, it’s just another simulated day on Mars.

This rocky corner of Utah bears such a resemblance to the red planet that it’s become a hot spot for scientists and engineers to run imaginary missions to Earth’s neighbor.

They’ve been coming here for more than a decade, hoping their research someday helps put humans on the Martian surface.

This site and others that allow crews to mimic interplanetary missions are helping to raise buzz about Mars to an all-time high as advancements in science and engineering convince space enthusiasts that the 140-million-mile trip is a realistic possibility in this century.

The research center is run by the nonproit Mars Society, an advocacy group that believes getting people to Mars to be the great challenge of our time. The group is not ailiated with NASA or the federal government.

“What we are doing on Mars is beginning humanity’s career as a space-faring species, a multi-planet species,” said Robert Zubrin, Mars Society director. “This is about ex-

tending the human reach from one world to many worlds.”

NASA administrator Charles Bolden said recently in a congressional hearing that the space agency’s plan is to get people to Mars in the 2030s.

Private companies are trying to beat NASA by getting people there irst. Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s company, SpaceX, plans to unveil concepts for Mars colonization later this year. Richard Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic, has also discussed a trip to Mars.

The Belgian students are the 153rd group in the last 14 years to travel to this outpost for a two-week mission.

None of the six are interested in going to Mars without a guarantee of a safe return.

“I could die for science, but at 70 years old and not at 30,” said Romain Compere, now 23. “I don’t want to die without oxygen and thousands of kilometers from my home with no one to love me.”

Compere and his ive classmates beat out 34 other students at their university to be chosen for the crew. The Mars Society charged each of them $1,000 for the mission, which the students paid by getting a grant from NASA and donations from their university and several Belgian science companies, said Bastien Mathurin, the commander.

Like other groups, each person ills a role that the Mars Society believes will be integral to a real mission. There is a commander, sub-commander, astronomer, geologist, biol-

ogist, journalist and engineer/ mechanic.

The teams hold close to the most important rule of the mission: Simulate everything as authentically as possible.

They never go outside without space helmets. When entering and leaving, they wait several minutes in a fake decompression room between the outside door and inside of the habitat. At least one person must always stay behind in case something goes wrong, and they never go outside alone.

They cook with freeze-dried foods or other dry goods.

“We’re trying to write the book of ield tactics for Mars explorers,” Zubrin said. “We do not expect that the people in our crews will be the actual people that go to Mars ...

We’re trying to discover how the Mars mission crew should be trained.”

The training helps illustrate the logistical and emotional issues that a Mars mission would confront, he said.

More than 900 people have participated in missions in Utah, coming from all over the world, including Russia, Romania, Australia and Japan. One in 5 work for NASA, Zubrin said.

These training sites ofer useful practice, but mainly promote education and public awareness, said Greg Williams, deputy associate administrator for policy in the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate at NASA. “That’s been really important, just to keep the buzz going about it,” Williams said. “To highlight not only the challenges of getting on Mars and being on Mars but also what we are accomplishing in order to make that happen.”

Many things would be difficult about conducting a manned mission to Mars, from designing a spacecraft that could make the 34-million-mile journey, to stocking and fueling it, to keeping its astronauts from getting labby and bored.

Researchers shed light on another potential hurdle: iguring out a way to protect travelers’ brains from the damaging efects of cosmic rays in outer space.

When University of California, Irvine neuroscientist Charles Limoli and colleagues exposed mice to radiation similar to that astronauts would encounter far beyond Earth, the animals experienced changes in their brains that impaired their performance on tests of learning and memory.

The researchers’ results suggested that astronauts could sufer cognitive impairment during an extended journey through space.

To test the efects of space radiation on the brain, researchers took mice to the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, which simulates radiation conditions in space.

Six weeks later they tested the mice’s learning and memory by placing them in pens with toys, letting them get used to their surroundings, and then making changes such as introducing a new toy. Mice that had been exposed to the radiation were less aware of or curious about the changes in their environment, a sign that they had cognitive deicits.

When the researchers later studied the animals’ brain tissue, they found that mice that performed poorly on the tests also had less dense branching in their brain cells.

Limoli got involved in the NASA-backed research as an outgrowth of his work on the efects of radiation on brain cancer patients. Radiation therapy forestalls brain cancer progression but it can take a tremendous toll on the central nervous system, causing depression and deicits in learning and executive function. Pediatric patients can lose 20 to 30 I.Q. points after receiving radiation treatments to the brain.

Astronauts lying to Mars and getting hit by cosmic rays wouldn’t get anything close to the high doses of radiation that cancer patients receive.

To counteract that threat during planning for a possible mission, scientists might come up with more advanced shielding options or drug treatments that might ameliorate radiation’s impacts on the brain.

SPACE TRAVEL

Deep sleep: Is human hibernation possible?

By Eric Niiler Special to The Washington Post

What better way to pass a long stretch of time than by entering a deep sleep to shut down some bodily functions and conserve energy? For humans, hibernation has been an unnecessary and impossible goal. Until now.

Taking lessons from animal hibernators, scientists are using their tricks for medical therapies and may someday adopt them for space travel. Some physicians are employing therapeutic hypothermia to help treat patients with traumatic brain injuries or diseases such as epilepsy.

And trials are underway to see if there is a way to lower the body temperature of people, keep them in a sleep-like state for

days or weeks and then revive them with no ill effects, something that astronauts may have to do to travel deep into space.

“We see the science has advanced enough to put some of the science iction into the realm of science reality,” says Leopold Summerer, head of advanced concepts team of the European Space Agency, one of the operators of the International Space Station.

A panel of European biomedical researchers, biologists and neuroscientists is expected to deliver recommendations for future lines of human hibernation research and funding soon.

NASA funded a preliminary study that looked at the idea of putting astronauts into a state of torpor,

Atlanta-based SpaceWorks has looked at creating a habitat that would allow astronauts to travel to Mars while hibernating.

or hibernation, for weeks at a time. The idea, however, didn’t make it to a second round of funding. John Bradford says he’s hoping to get funding elsewhere.

NASA says it will be using the year-long sojourn that U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly just started at the International Space Station,

combined with medical monitoring of his earthbound twin brother, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, to collect clues about protecting humans who leave Earth’s orbit for months or years at a time.

Biologists aren’t waiting for results from space.

They are busy dissecting

the neurological and biochemical pathways of such hibernating animals as the Arctic ground squirrel and several kinds of bears that slumber six months at a time without awakening as puny weaklings.

“We think that if we understand how they do it, we can replicate it in humans,” said Kelly Drew, a biochemist at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.

Drew and her colleagues at the Institute of Arctic Biology are looking at how the Arctic ground squirrel can get so cold without dying. She believes she has found the molecule that does the job, the A1 adenosine receptor, but she hasn’t found what triggers it.

The next step is to learn how to safely use drugs that stimulate the A1 ad-

enosine receptor.

Yet there are skeptics who doubt that any of this will lead toward human hibernation. Stanford University neurobiologist Craig Heller has studied black bears and northern brown bears, both of which hibernate.

Because bears recycle the nitrogen from their waste products, going for months without moving doesn’t seem to afect their bones or muscles. Astronauts can barely walk after returning from a few weeks or months in zero gravity, and they have to keep up rigorous exercise programs.

While it might be possible to induce humans into deep sleep, Heller said, a months-long spacelight under such conditions is likely to be too damaging.

ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOS

Bottom Bay in Barbados is relatively easy on the wallet, with easy-to-use public vans to beaches around the island, plus dining options like Oistins Fish Fry, an outdoor bazaar of restaurant shacks serving heaping plates of food.

BEACHY KEEN

Victoria Falls is on the Caribbean island of Dominica, sometimes called the “nature island.” It ofers hiking trails, lush rain forest, clifs and black-sand beaches.

Adventure, relaxation await in Caribbean

By Kavitha Surana Associated Press

OSALIE, Dominica — “Are you sure this is the right way?”

I asked, my leg lailing to ind another crevice in the tree knots below me. Luca, my husband, responded with a grunt — not very reassuring.

Luca and I are not exactly avid hikers or adrenaline junkies — no skiing, suring or bungee jumping for us on a typical vacation. But when the urge to escape the winter grind struck, we didn’t just want to relax on the beach. We also wanted some element of inspiration and adventure — however mild. Only question: Where to go? We decided to make our irst trip to the Caribbean, to two islands, Dominica and Barbados, each with its own allure.

And that’s how we ended up hanging over a clif face in Dominica.

R

GETTING DIRTY IN DOMINICA A rugged, hard-to reach, self-proclaimed “nature island” dropped into the Lesser Antilles, Dominica is as far away from the all-inclusive Caribbean experience as you can get.

Instead of bands of tranquil beaches crawling with tourists, it’s covered with lush rain forest and enough trails to keep you hiking for weeks.

We were climbing down Wavine Cyrique on our irst day, a vertical trail of tangled mangrove roots and improvised rope ladders. And we had, in fact, managed to lose our way. There was nothing to do but keep going.

But as we learned throughout the trip, Dominica always rewards a struggle. Safely reaching the bottom, we found ourselves on a scene straight out of “Pirates of the Caribbean” with a secluded black sand beach, a waterfall shooting of the clif into the rough sea and a coconut tree swaying lazily in the breeze.

Dominica was full of small astonishments like that. After scrambling over muddy rocks and wading through rivers for an hour, we’d suddenly ind ourselves faced with a powerful waterfall emptying into a basin of turquoise water — perfect for swimming. Snorkeling, we not only enjoyed watching neon ish and sea cucumbers, but thanks to the island’s volcanic activity, we were surrounded by sparkling bubbles that give the spot its name: Champagne Reef.

I couldn’t have felt farther from my usual busy schedule. In the morning, we’d start the day with a refreshing jump into the river. At night, we curled up in a comfortably furnished yurt at a property called Mermaid’s Secret, falling asleep to the calls of crickets and frogs.

But sometimes, as they say, you

need a “vacation from the vacation.”

Dominica’s isolated natural beauty enchanted us. But after ive days of exploring, our muscles were tied up in knots and our legs were crisscrossed with scratches. Before we headed back to snow, we were still dreaming of a perfect beach day.

Luckily, Barbados was next on our itinerary.

BEACH ON A BUDGET IN BARBADOS Soon, we were crammed into a white van, Luca scrunched up next to our suitcase, reggae music making us want to dance. For one U.S. dollar, we were heading from the airport to the home of our Airbnb hosts.

We chose to visit Barbados because it was on Dominica’s light

path (lights also pass through Antigua) but also because we’d heard it was relatively easy on the wallet.

Its postcard-perfect beaches are free and public transportation is simple to navigate. Almost every time we stepped onto the street, a van pulled up next to us, ready to whisk us away.

At irst, we were a bit dazed by the crowded beaches, overlowing with families on vacation. But thanks to the vans, with a little legwork we found perfectly secluded beaches in Barbados too.

Juma’s Restaurant, in Speightstown, was an easy favorite. Poolcalm waters, an immaculate stretch of sand and free use of lounge chairs and umbrellas make it the island’s best-kept secret. On the Saturday we

visited, the lounge chairs didn’t even ill up. For an inexpensive lunch you can buy a sandwich for $5.

On the other side of the island, try Bottom Bay. With its dramatic clifs and foamy waters, it was clear to see why it’s popular for fashion shoots.

There are no restaurants nearby, so pack a picnic, but you can buy a piña colada in a fresh coconut on-site.

Still, there’s a time and place for crowds in the Caribbean. On Friday nights, tourists and locals alike descend on Oistins Fish Fry, an outdoor bazaar of restaurant shacks that ix up overlowing plates of ish, plantains and macaroni for $15. As the night went on, the music turned up, more locals joined in, and the stage became a freewheeling dance scene where everybody showed of their moves.

On our last morning, we woke up with the sunrise. As we took our inal dip in the warm waters before heading home to face the rest of winter, I felt satisied that we’d accomplished our goal: the perfect introduction to the Caribbean.

“And we are deinitely coming back,” Luca said.

Seniors RELATIONSHIPS

Respect is key to finding Mr. Right

By Lisa Copeland Findaqualityman.com (TNS)

KEN HERMAN/AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN/MCT

Fred Cortinez, who is in his 90s, works 8-hour shifts at a grocery store in Austin, Texas, bagging groceries as well as other duties such as serving samples.

He is shown on September 8, 2012, working a free cofee and pastry event.

Retirement revised “Seniors enjoying good health and the prospect of greater longevity stay on the job because they can,” says Elizabeth Fideler, a research fellow at Boston College’s Sloan Center on Aging & Work.

“When they love what they do, they don’t want to stop.”

Trends in the job market for older workers to watch

By Mark Miller retirementrevised.com (TNS)

W

orking longer is a mantra these days for many Americans hoping to build greater retirement security.

Staying on the job even a few years beyond traditional retirement age makes it easier to delay iling for Social Security; it also can mean more years contributing to retirement accounts and fewer years of depending on nest eggs for living expenses.

But since the Great Recession, staying employed has been easier said than done for all workers. The economy has continued to mend gradually, and the job market has improved. How are older workers faring? The picture is mixed. If you’re in the ramp-up years to retirement and aspire to stay employed past traditional retirement age, here are some key trends to watch.

UNEMPLOYMENT IS DOWN Joblessness for older workers is lower than the overall national unemployment rate. In November, the unemployment rate for the 55-plus workforce was 4.5 percent _ considerably lower than the overall 5.8 percent rate, and below the 4.9 percent 55plus jobless rate a year ago, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

And fewer older workers are worried about layofs than their younger counterparts: A recent Gallup survey found just 13 percent of workers over age 50 are worried about layofs, compared with 29 percent of people under age 35, and 15 percent of 35- to 54-year-olds.

“If you have a job, chances are pretty good you will be able to hang on to it,” says Sara Rix, senior strategic policy adviser for the AARP Public Policy Institute. “Many companies went through disruption during the recession _ changing hands and letting go of people. But the labor force data tells us that the older population has been faring pretty well.”

DESIRE TO WORK LONGER IS RISING Reasons for work in retirement _ An AARP survey released earlier this year found that 70 percent of Americans plan to work in retirement. But that doesn’t necessarily mean sticking to the schedule _ or work _ that they’re doing now. Twentynine percent plan to work part time because they enjoy working; 23 percent said they’d work part time because they need the income. Thirteen percent intend to start a business or work for themselves; 5 percent expect to retire and work full time in a new career.

Participation in the labor force — that is, the percent of people working or actively seeking work _ has been rising slower among older workers. In November, 40.1 percent of 55-plus workers were in the market, up from 38.9 percent when the recession started.

LENGTH OF JOBLESSNESS IS LONGER Many older workers without a job, however, have had a hard time inding one.

Long-term unemployment remains a critical problem for the 55-plus crowd. Workers age 55 and older needed 51.1 weeks, on average, to ind new work, according to the November BLS jobless report _ much longer than the 30.6 weeks needed for younger people to ind new work.

And when older workers do secure new jobs, they’re likely to earn less. One study found that displaced workers will earn 14 percent to 19 percent less for the rest of this decade than workers who stay employed continuously _ and they are up to 8 percent more likely to experience another layof.

AGE DISCRIMINATION REMAINS A MAJOR WORRY The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967 makes it illegal for employers to discriminate based on age in hiring or iring practices. Cases of discrimination in hiring are nearly impossible to prove, and the number of complaints iled with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission alleging age-related discharge has stayed fairly steady in recent years.

But the AARP survey (which queried workers age 45-74) found that 64 percent have seen or experienced age-based discrimination in the workplace — and nearly everyone thinks it is commonplace.

The key implication: If you’re hoping to work longer, hang on to your current job for dear life. “Anyone in the Boomer generation who anticipates working to an advanced age either by choice or out of necessity would be well advised to stay with the current job unless he or she has the wherewithal to become an entrepreneur,” says Elizabeth Fideler, a research fellow at Boston College’s Sloan Center on Aging & Work.

OVER-70 CROWD IS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE Working longer isn’t just for people in their 60s. Increasing labor force participation rates actually are most dramatic among men and women in their 70s and 80s, according to Fideler, author of “Women Still at Work: Professionals Over Sixty” and “On the Job” and a companion volume about older male workers.

“Seniors enjoying good health and the prospect of greater longevity stay on the job because they can,” she says. “When they love what they do, they don’t want to stop.”

Hopefully, you have an idea of what you want in the man you want to date.

You might know you want a man with a certain religion, a man who is healthy and active, or a man with a strong connection to his family.

Yet have you ever given thought to what men are looking for in the woman they want as their companion, girlfriend or wife?

I’d like to share with you some of those qualities men want the women they date to have and why they are so important to men.

No. 1. A man wants a woman who respects him.

This is huge! I dated a man for two years who I knew wasn’t the right one for me. What attracted me to him was the way he looked at me.

Yet by the time our relationship ended, the ire in his eyes had died as he walked out the door looking defeated and telling me I didn’t know how to let a man be a man.

So if you ind you aren’t able to respect the man in your life or his decisions, you are better of ending the relationship so that you can ind someone you do respect and he can look for someone who will respect him.

No. 2. A man doesn’t want you constantly testing him to see if he still loves you.

As women, we test men to show us their love.

That’s because we want to hear them profess their love to us in the form of words. Women love and thrive on words. Men don’t. Men believe actions show far more about their feelings than words ever will.

If you’re looking for him to tell you over and over again that he loves you, just watch what he does for you. Men will do things like ix the leg on a wobbly table that’s been driving you nuts. Or he’ll see the grass in your lawn is too long so he’ll come over and cut it for you. Or he’ll show up with lowers that may or may not have a card as a way of saying ... I love you and care about you.

No. 3. A man wants a woman he can make happy. A man older than 50 is all about pleasing you and making you happy. Nothing makes him feel more content then seeing the smile on your face as a result of what he’s done for you.

I’m sure you’ve noticed how these men are so different from the men you dated back in high school and college. They have matured through a process that created who they are today. Most men feel women don’t get them anymore.

HEALTH/HEARING

It might be time to consider getting a hearing aid

By Wina Sturgeon Adventure Sports Weekly (TNS)

If you’re 50 years or older, you may have noticed changes in your hearing. Maybe the system in your vehicle doesn’t sound as rich and detailed as it once did. Perhaps you occasionally have to ask someone to repeat themselves. You may turn your television up so loud that others in the house complain.

Eventually you may start thinking about hearing aids. But unless you do the necessary research before making this expensive purchase, you may make regrettable mistakes.

A posting on the Mayo Clinic website suggests that before buying any hearing device, start with a checkup. If your doctor can’t ind a cause, he or she may recommend getting a hearing test.

This is where your research starts. First, don’t believe ads that promise to restore your hearing perfectly. Hearing aids can’t do this. They improve your hearing by am-

plifying sound so it becomes easier to hear, and by lowering the volume of loud noise around you.

There are two types of hearing specialists. One is an audiologist, who is a professional with a degree in the science of hearing. The other is a hearing aid dispenser, who in many states, needs only a high school diploma. Dispensers are in the business of selling hearing aids. To get your hearing tested, go to a licensed audiologist, who may also be a dispenser.

An audiologist can diagnose your hearing loss, and is able to recommend the type of device that will help you the most.

Paul Lloyd is the owner of the Edison Stanford Hearing Center in Draper, Utah.

He says, “Selecting a specialist that has experience is important, so ask about it.

It’s also important to select one who works with multiple brands, because not all hearing aids are the same.”

Before you make the purchase, ask if the hearing aid you’ve selected is ‘rebranded.’

Rebranded hearing aids is simply the use

MICHAEL BRYANT/PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER/MCT

David Decker is itted for a hearing aid by audiologist Elizabeth Gray-Karagrigoriou in Southhampton, Pa. Like many, Decker resisted getting a hearing aid partially due to cost.

of a licensed brand name that has been franchised to that oice. If so, you may only be able to go to that particular oice for programming or repairs, because only that oice will have the software to make changes to your hearing aid. Don’t buy ex-

pensive hearing aids online. These devices need to be personally itted to work well, and a follow-up evaluation also will need to be done.

What about those widely advertised and very inexpensive devices known as Personal Sound Ampliiers (PSAPs)? According to a June, 2014 report on consumerreports.org, they are less functional than hearing aids, but they can be a ‘lower-cost solution for people with mild hearing loss who aren’t ready to spring for a prescription hearing aid.

The most expensive hearing aids are the most invisible ones, which it inside the ear canal. The ones which go behind the ear are the most visible, but they’re capable of more ampliication than other styles, according to CR. Don’t allow yourself to be pushed into buying too quickly. Check online for complaints against the dispenser. Find out everything you can before making a commitment, so that you’ll be satisied with your hearing aid after you buy it.
