editorMessage from the

I have a little boy who recently turned 11 and he’s a hoot. The child has been packed with personality almost from day one. He’s gone from playing practical jokes in his

crib as a 3-month-old to saying the funniest things imaginable without even trying. I call them “Oliverisms” and often share them with friends. I’d share some of them here, but he’d prob-ably kill me for it.

Oliver and I have been together so long now, I really can’t imagine life without him. Everywhere I go, he goes, and that’s the way it’s been for years now. I’ve been raising him alone almost the entire time he’s been alive, and although it’s often been difficult, I wouldn’t trade these years for anything.

I know what it means to be a mommy. I know what it means to strive to make sure your child has everything he needs and to protect him with everything you’ve got. I fully comprehend and marvel at the maternal instinct, and I can tell you it’s alive and well in Alissa Pinne, who wrote this month’s cover story.

Alissa and her husband, Chad, struggled for years to realize the joy of an Oliver. Alissa went through miscarriage after miscarrige until she was finally able to bring her daughter, Emerson, to term. Read about Alissa’s miracle baby beginning on Page 14. You’ll be insipred. And perhaps you’ll also be reminded of your own little blessings.

G ermantown Festival Commit-tee members invite everyone out for the 42nd annual Germantown

Festival from Sept. 7-8. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Satur-

day and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday at the Germantown Civic Club Complex, 7745 Poplar Pike.

More than 400 local and national arts and crafts vendors will be on hand, along with food, games, kiddie rides, live enter-tainers, car exhibitors and other attractions. The festival will take place rain or shine.

“It’s not just a kiddie event and it’s not just a mom shopping event — it’s more like a country fair that’s kind of grown up,” says event coordinator Melba Fristick.

Each year more than 50,000 people attend the event present-ed by the nonprofit Germantown Festival Association, ranking it among the largest festivals in the Mid-South. It’s also one of the longest-running.

Admission and shuttle services are free and parking is avail-able in Union University’s regional education center parking lot at 2745 Hacks Cross Road and the Germantown Performing

Arts Center at 1801 Exeter Road. Aside from the numerous vendors and

community attractions, the annual “Run-ning of the Weenies” dachshund race on Saturday, Sept. 7, is a must-see.

This year’s race is getting the added bonus of an honorary weenie dog master similar to the duck masters at The Peabody Hotel.

Eli Cato, who has attended for years and helped out on many occasions, will serve as an emcee while the pooches’ owners and trainers urge them in their stubby-legged dash to the finish line at the Germantown Show Horse Arena. (Read more about the weenie race below.)

Fristick urges citizens to get involved, and the sooner the better, as time is running out.

“Germantown Festival is always looking for new vendors and entries in the Weenie Race, so alert all your arts-and-crafty friends and start training those racing dachshunds now,” she says.

All proceeds from the annual festival are used to fund college scholarships and for grants to other community organizations. For more information, call Fristick at 901-757-9212 or visit germantownfest.com.

One of the Germantown Festival’s most well-known attractions is “The Running of the Weenies Dachshund Race and Costume Contest” on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 2 p.m at the Germantown Civic Club Complex off Poplar Pike. The event is limited to 100 weiner dogs that are divided into groups of 10 at the Germantown Charity Horse Show Arena on the complex grounds. The winner of each doggie dash is placed in a runoff championship at the end. Cash prizes benefit the Germantown Animal Shelter or the charity of the winners’ choice. —Lindsay Jones

Shelter Gets New Bossby Lindsay Jones Editor

A recent graduate of Mississippi State University, Alina Lesniak is the new animal services man-ager at the Germantown Animal Shelter. She began the position on June 3. “I came from a private boarding facility in Northeast Mississippi, so I have quite a bit of experience with things like that,” she says. Although her duties vary from bottle feeding kittens to fund-raising and going out on animal control calls, Lesniak’s biggest priority right now is creating awareness for the shelter off Southern Avenue and getting animals adopted. Last year, the shelter impounded 360 animals, the majority of which were dogs.

Make Sure the Reins Are in Good Hands

A financial power of attorney may be the most important legal document you can have. In some cases, it is more vital than a will. If you were to become inca-pacitated through dementia, stroke or an accident, a financial power of attorney could be a lifesaver for your family.

If you do not have the mental capac-ity to write a check, sign a deed, or ex-ecute any other type of legal document, a financial power of attorney could be the only way other than a conservatorship that another person would be able to act on your behalf.

The fact that you are married to someone or are someone’s child does not give you the power in and of itself to act on their behalf legally.

However, you can give a person the legal right to act on your behalf.

The alternative is to establish a con-servatorship. This is a time-consuming and fairly expensive procedure, especial-ly compared with the cost of a power of attorney. A financial power of attorney can either take effect immediately or can

take effect in the future. The power can be as broad or as nar-

row as you like. Sometimes people give a person a power of attorney to execute specific documents such as closing papers on the sale of a house. On the other extreme, you can give a person the power to change beneficiary designa-tions on accounts.

When the cost is compared to the potential later savings, it’s clear that no one should be without a financial power of attorney. The power must be prop-erly drafted, though. Use Internet-based forms at your own risk.

As always, each individual case is different, so you should seek advice from an attorney about your situation.

Good for Business

Recent studies show that businesses that actively donate to charitable causes increase their brand aware-ness, boost employee morale and increase their balance sheets. Good corporate citizenship can have positive effects beyond simple social consciousness. Since 2010, businesses such as International Paper, Hilton Worldwide, Colonial Country Club, CB Richard Ellis, the Junior League of Memphis, FTN Financial, Ridgeway Country Club and Memphis schools have partnered with Agape North to help put meaning behind the clothes they wear.Many businesses require employees to wear uniforms, so by using Agape North as their uniform provider, a uniform is donated to a student in need for every item purchased by a company.FTN Financial recently bought 110 Agape North polos with their logo embroidered on the sleeve, and Agape North in turn donated 110 uniforms to children in Uganda. —Andrew Bartolotta

Shirts That Work

At this year’s Centennial Celebration, Colonial Country Club partnered with Agape North to provide polo shirts for the Centennial Member Guest Tournament. The performance polos have the Colonial Country Club logo stitched on the front, and with each shirt given as a gift to a Member Guest participant, a uniform was donated to a KIPP Memphis Charter School student. Founded by a small group of Memphis business leaders in 1913, the country club has established itself as the premier country club in the Mid-South. Colonial has held many tournaments over the years, but in 1958, the beginnings of the annual FedEx St. Jude Classic began there as the Memphis Open. In 1977, two huge events made national news there. First, President Gerald Ford made a hole-in-one during a Ce-lebrity Pro-Am. Two days later, Al Geiberger shocked the golf world with his record low round of 59. The 13-under-par round still stands as a PGA Tour record. —Andrew Bartolotta

Did You Know?

Agape North is a cause-based company headquartered in Memphis that creates high-quality clothing while giving back with each purchase. For each shirt Agape North sells, it donates a school uniform to a student in need.

Joe Williams (shown right) started Agape North in the summer of 2010 and went global for Agape’s first two donations. Starting in Guatemala, Agape North donated 500 uniforms, and in Honduras partnered with the Presbyterian Day School in Mem-phis to donate 150 uniforms to students in need.

“Education is the key to helping improve children’s lives forever,” Williams says. “You have the opportunity to help a child have the uniform they need to get an educa-tion by supporting our cause.”

Once Williams saw the need for clean and high-quality uniforms for students across the globe, he noticed the same problem here in Memphis and wanted to make a change on a local level. Since then, Agape North has donated 2,000 uniforms to chil-dren in the Memphis area attending the Achievement School District, KIPP Memphis, Cornerstone Prep and additional Memphis area schools.

14 August 2013

When my husband, Chad, and I first moved to Germantown six years ago, we couldn’t wait to start a family. I had

just signed on to teach third grade at Collierville Elementary School, and Chad had transferred to Memphis with ServiceMaster when the company’s headquarters moved from Chicago. We were beginning a new, exciting life together in the Mid-South, we had known each other since high school, and we were ready to have a baby.

In 2008, when I was 29 years old, we started trying to conceive. For me, getting pregnant wasn’t the problem — but staying pregnant became a huge issue. We would conceive and even hear the baby’s heartbeat, but around nine or 10 weeks during the pregnancy we would lose the baby.

Then I would go through a painful surgical procedure called a D&C (dilation and curettage), where the doctor basically opened up my cervix and removed the failed pregnancy. Then we’d start all over trying to conceive again.

It was heartbreaking.After my second miscarriage, I felt devastated and wanted

answers. Blood work done through my OB/GYN’s office showed that I had two blood-clotting disorders, plus another disorder that didn’t allow my body to metabolize folic acid properly. I took medications to treat these problems but then suffered a third miscarriage.

After that, I was referred to Dr. William Kutteh at Fertility Associates of Memphis. We met with him, discussed my issues, and completed a comprehensive fertility evaluation. In addition to my other disorders, he discovered through an ultrasound that I had something called a septate uterus, a malformation that kept causing my miscarriages.

To my surprise, Dr. Kutteh could easily remove my uterine septum with a relatively simple outpatient procedure.

In early 2010, Dr. Kutteh performed this surgery, establish-ing a blood-rich uterine surface for my future baby to implant on as an embryo. By November, I was pregnant for the fourth

time. Dr. Kutteh continued to check my blood levels and blood thinners throughout my pregnancy, along with care I received from my regular OB/GYN.

For me, getting pregnant wasn’t the problem, but staying pregnant

became a huge issue.

This time my baby went to term and I delivered a beautiful, healthy girl. Our daughter, Emerson, was born in August 2011, and this month she turns 2 years old.

To have my sweet miracle baby is a dream come true. She has been such a blessing and has added so much joy to our lives. Since I still teach at Collierville Elementary, I have the entire summer off to spend full time with Emerson, watch her learn new things, and even hear her begin to talk in sentences.

I’ll always cherish this time I have with her.

the emotional side of infertilityGoing through infertility and suffering numerous miscar-

riages was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. I remember people trying to comfort me, saying how “things happen for a reason” or “miscarriages are so common” or “just relax, and you’ll get pregnant!”

Folks mean well when they say those sorts of things, but when you are grieving and experiencing the loss of a baby, even well-meaning words can sting. You want to believe and hang on to hope, praying that things will turn around someday, but it’s a frustrating road full of disappointment, sadness and doubt. You start wondering if you’ll ever have a family.

At the time, I was grasping for anything to bring me comfort and make sense. I remember country music singer Randy Hous-er released a song titled “In God’s Time” in April 2011 while I was pregnant with Emerson. There’s a verse and chorus toward the end of the song that spoke to me, and I listened to that song over and over. I still reflect on it today as a reminder that things have a way of working out in their own time. It goes:

“And in God’s time,You’ll finally get the chance to hold your baby girl,And all the sudden everything’ll make sense in this crazy

world,in God’s time;Oh, but no one knows,Not you or me,It might be tomorrow or it might never be;Oh, but don’t lose faith,Put it in His hands,’Cause it might be that He might have a bigger plan,Than you had in mind;Miracles happen,in God’s time.”The truth is that, like me, many have to travel the difficult

journey of infertility, and there’s not much you can do to pre-pare yourself for it. It’s like a roller coaster ride that can create emotions ranging from sadness to anger to frustration to feeling overwhelmed to a sense of helplessness.

Going through infertility and suffering numerous miscarriages was one of the

hardest things I’ve ever experienced.

In the United States, 15 percent of all couples will face fertility issues, and many will be diagnosed with a reproduc-tive disorder (infertility is normally diagnosed when a couple can’t get pregnant after one year of trying). Thankfully, the vast majority of couples struggling with infertility or recurrent pregnancy losses are ultimately able to have children; it just may take specialized treatments to make this happen.

hidden no moreIn the past, it seemed as if people didn’t talk openly about

fertility-related issues. Infertility is a very personal matter, so some may hesitate to share their emotional experiences.

But when no one talks about something that you’re strug-gling with, it can feel like you’re the only one. I believe this is starting to change for the better.

From my friends and family to the mainstream media and even celebrities (think Kim Kardashian, Celine Dion, Nicole Kidman and the list goes on), couples feel much more com-fortable discussing their infertility more publicly today. Plus, reaching out for support can help get you through difficult moments. I now understand just how important it is to open up and share these infertility stories. Chad and I found the most comfort in talking with others who had gone through similar experiences and understood our frustrations.

Infertility can lead you on a sad, lonely journey, but we made the decision to shed more light on infertility and help oth-ers, letting them know that their feelings are normal. Plus, we believe it’s important to help boost public understanding. After all, with infertility affecting one in eight couples, chances are you already know many people who have struggled.

of Memphis. Dr. Kutteh is matter-of-fact and methodical, and

16 August 2013

Continued from previous page

I knew I was in good hands and being given the best care pos-sible. The other doctors at the practice, Dr. Raymond Ke and Dr. Paul Brezina, are impressive, too, and bring their own areas of infertility expertise to the practice.

To have my sweet miracle baby is a dream come true. She has been such a blessing and has added so much joy to our lives.

Many consider Dr. Kutteh an international expert in recur-rent pregnancy loss, and he has done mountains of research on the topic. He and Dr. Brezina, the practice’s new associate who was recruited from Johns Hopkins last year, were invited to speak in May at the general OB/GYN national meeting in New Orleans, where they taught physicians across the country cut-ting edge treatments for recurrent pregnancy loss.

How amazing is it that we have that level of expertise in our own backyard, here in Memphis?

The practice recently marked its 5,000th baby born, a remarkable milestone. Earlier this spring, on May 18, my family and I attended the practice’s highly anticipated Miracle Baby Party, a special celebration held every other year around Mother’s Day for all families that have been helped by the doc-tors and staff at Fertility Associates of Memphis.

It took my breath away to see so many children and parents enjoying a sunny afternoon together, celebrating their families together.

My husband and I haven’t ruled out trying to have another baby in the near future, but for now we’re relishing each moment and enjoying life with our toddler. We finally have the baby we wanted so badly, and we’re thankful every day. Miracles do happen.

Q: I understand that you’ve been involved with the Madonna learning Center for many years. how did that come about?My brother, Jack, was in the first class that graduated from Madonna. The center was started in 1969 by three [Catholic] sisters and a core group of families who wanted to find a Catholic education for their children. So they went to the bishop and the bishop put out a call and three sisters from St. Benedict in Ferdinand, Ind., came here and started up the school. The actual school started at the location of St. Peter’s Home for Children [in Midtown Memphis] and then they moved over to St. James Catholic Church on Leroy Avenue. And then in 1996 they moved here and purchased this property. They changed the name from Madonna Day School to Madonna Learning Center because a lot of people thought it was a daycare.

Madonna Center then and Now

19August 2013

Q: what is your brother doing now? He is working at Kroger as a sacker. He used to work for Seessel’s before it was sold to [Schnucks and then] Kroger. He drives a car and is working as independently as possible.

Q: what is his condition? Down syndrome. He has the mild case, which is mosaic.

Q: what are your plans for the school? Our hopes and dreams for the future are to add a preschool classroom, a gym and a larger facility to increase the capacity for our adult program, which serves students 18 years and older. These trainees work on vocational education and independent living skills. We would love to renovate the existing building.

Q: I noticed in your literature that you’re looking to create an endowment for students who can’t afford the regular tuition. Please talk about that. We have a Sister Mary Mark Endowment Fund and we hope to built it to help with scholarships. We have to come up with the other half of [each student’s] tuition through donations and fundraising efforts throughout the year. (Note: Tuition per student is almost $12,000 a year at Madonna.)

Q: So tuition is already discounted. why is it so expensive? We have a really low teacher-pupil ratio. It is im-portant for us to have that small ratio for success. Programming and staff salaries make up the highest costs in providing necessary services to our students. However, our staff receives a lower salary than the unified county school system and most other private schools. [At the same time], our teacher turnover rate is low. The teachers love what they do and are rewarded by working with the children. The students receive services such as speech and occupational therapy necessary for growth. These services add to the costs.

Q: how do you prepare students for the real world? We are out in the community often. We have a lot of field trips and welcome other schools to participate in activities on our campus. The adult program is in the community shopping and working every week. They participate in onsite and off-site job training. The trainees plan, shop and prepare their lunches daily. ... We are expanding our vocational piece for the fall to include job coaching from the business community.

Q: do you have previous students come in and help the current students? Our plan for next year is to have former students return to help our trainees in job preparation and

sustainability through shared communication about their experiences in the workplace. We have previous graduates employed at the school as well. ... Madon-na Learning Center strives to educate each student to their highest potential.

Patients with major depression who received phone-administered cognitive behavioral therapy discontinued treatment less than those who sought face-to-face treatment, according to a study published in the June issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study, conducted between 2007 and 2010, also found that phone-administered treatment was no less effective than that received in person. However, after a six-month follow-up, researchers determined that people who received treatment in person reported being less depressed than those who received counseling by phone. —Lindsay Jones

Online cognitive behavioral therapy — otherwise known as e-therapy, e-counseling, teletherapy or cyber-counseling — is an

important tool that helps patients overcome negative thoughts and behaviors. It does not deal with digging into your past to determine the cause of your fear or anxiety, but helps you with what’s going on in your life right now.

This is a new trend in mental health, in which you are provided advice and support via the Internet, either in real time (chat, Skype, Internet phone) or time delay (email and daily feedback on client worksheets).

Like more traditional kinds of therapy, CBT online helps equip you with the tools you need to change the way you

think. But unlike with face-to-face meetings, the cost of online therapy is generally significantly less.

However, for some patients, CBT online is not the right op-tion because there is no personal interaction to help move them along in their program. But for more self-directed patients, online therapy has been shown to work just as well.

This is how it’s done: CBT online is a self-explanatory, step-by-step process that usually consists of one session per week over eight weeks, depending a person’s needs or challenges.

Clients get worksheets for each session, and their personal therapist monitors all parts of their online therapy program. The sessions give patients the information they need to help identify, challenge and overcome problems such as addiction, depression, social anxiety and other mental health issues.

At the beginning of the online therapy program, patients complete a simple test that allows them to address and evalu-ate what’s bothering them or holding them back.

Almost nothing is more natural than breastfeeding. Videos taken of newborns and their mothers show that when the two are left alone, the baby will actually crawl toward the breast without assistance.“We know from research that breastfeeding is going to give the baby the very best start,” says Cathy Akin, head of the Lactation Departpment at Method-ist Germantown Hospital. “Not only is it free, but we also know that it makes healthier babies.” Getting the babies skin-to-skin, with the mother cradling the newborn against her, is extremely important and should take place shortly after the baby is de-livered. “If we can get them skin-to-skin witin the first two hours of birth, we’ve seen the success of breast feeding rates go up.”Breastfed babies have fewer allergies than bottle-fed babies, in part because antibodies are passed from mother to child through colostrum, which the mother’s breasts produce for the first five days after birth. “I tell moms who don’t want to breastfeed, if they can do it just for the first few days so the babies can get that colostrum, it’s going to be so important for

them,” Akin says. It is sweeter than regular breast milk and lactation experts call it “liquid gold.”The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding exclusively at least for the first six months, and if moth-ers can go to 12 months, the benefits are even greater. Breastfed babies don’t visit the pediatrician as often and have fewer ear infections. Plus that, breast milk is more easily digestible, so baby diapers have a less unpleasant smell. “Re-search has shown [breast milk] protects against certain illnesses; we’ve seen higher IQs. Breastfed babies are less likely to be overweight or obese, and we’ve seen lower instances of heart diseases when breastfed babies are grown,” Akin says.

If It Can Be done, Breastfeeding Is Best

type 2 diabetes requires regular blood sugar checks. Photo courtesy of hibu

Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare is recruiting participants for a free diabetes prevention pro-

gram. Participants will meet as a group with a trained lifestyle coach and learn how to make changes to help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes, such as losing weight, being more physically active and better managing stress.

One group will meet at Methodist Germantown Hospital and the other at Methodist University Hospital in Mid-town Memphis.

Groups will celebrate successes to-gether and figure out ways to overcome

obstacles. Participants meet once a week for 16 weeks and then once a month for six months.

Methodist Healthcare was one of six organizations in the United States to launch the National Diabetes Prevention Program this year. Led by the U.S. Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention, the curriculum is based on research that found people can cut their risk of devel-oping type 2 diabetes in half by losing 5-7 percent of their body weight (about 10 to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds) by improving food choices and increasing physical activity to at least 150 minutes per week.

To find out if you qualify, call Kristy Merritt at 901-516-6616.

Are you at risk for diabetes?If so, you might qualify for a free prevention program.

Jackson and Dotty are 1-year-old terrier mix pups at the Ger-mantown Animal Shelter. Jackson is quite a charmer with that typical, scrappy terrier personality and a dapper white coat with black patches. This pup is the happy-go-lucky type that makes you smile every time you’re near him. Meanwhile, Dotty will be a small dog, perfect for people with a smaller space or those

who just know good things come in small packages. She is a tri-colored girl with a black-and-white coat spotted with bits of brown around her face. People say this gives her a very sweet and playful look ... hence, the name Dotty! We at the shelter would love to waive one adoption fee if Jackson and Dotty are adopted together. They get along well.—Alina Leskniak
