SCRANTON By providing
internships for college students,
local government, business and
higher education ofcials said
they hope to help small busi-
nesses and encourage students
to stay in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania after graduation.
At Courthouse Square, a press
conference was held Monday to
a n n o u n c e
The Intern-
ship Initia-
tive a pi-
lot program
geared to-
ward bring-
ing together
area college
s t u d e n t s
with small
businesses.
Lisa Hall-
Zi el i ns ki ,
director of
the Small
Business De-
vel opment
Center at
the Univer-
sity of Scran-
ton, said the
col l abora-
tive program
will provide a framework for
small businesses to offer more
internship opportunities to area
students by connecting the busi-
nesses with colleges and univer-
sities in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania.
Hall-Zielinski said three
downtown Scranton business-
es will participate in the pilot
program with hopes of ex-
panding the initiative to other
areas.
The Rev. Kevin P. Quinn,
S.J., president of the Uni-
versity of Scranton, said the
new program is a natural out-
growth of the Downtown En-
gagement Initiative, which, he
said, has drawn thousands of
students, parents, faculty and
staff into downtown Scranton
in new ways.
The Internship Initiative
will encourage our students and
those enrolled at our sister col-
leges and universities in North-
eastern Pennsylvania to take
advantage of all that downtown
Scranton has to offer, Quinn
said.
Lackawanna County Commis-
sioner Chairman Corey OBrien
said the program could have a
long-termpositive impact on ad-
dressing the regions unemploy-
ment problem.
We need to change the em-
ployment trends, OBrien said.
We need to take a multifac-
eted approach. As this program
grows, more and more students
will have the opportunity to
learn about the city and the re-
gion and hopefully stay here af-
ter they graduate.
Hall-Zielinski said the rst
three businesses for the down-
town pilot are Condron & Co.,
Carl Von Luger Steak &Seafood
and Fanciful Fox. Representa-
tives from Marywood Univer-
sity, Kings College and Wilkes
University also attended the
ceremony.
The pilot program will be-
gin this summer and continue
through fall, she said.
Through the partnership, lo-
cal small businesses will receive
help preparing for, selecting and
managing interns.
The schools will also help ll
positions with qualied candi-
dates by circulating the intern-
ship postings to students.
For more information on the
internship program, contact

sity of Scranton Small Business

The Philadelphia jury in the
murder trial of abortion doc-
tor Kermit Gosnell on Monday
began its fourth full day of de-
liberations getting the judge to
again review the law involving
homicide.
Common Pleas Court Judge
Jeffrey P. Minehart then in-
structed the jury about the
denitions of rst- and third-
degree murder and involun-
tary manslaughter.
The jury of seven women
and ve men must decide if
Gosnell, 72, is guilty of rst-
or third-degree murder in the
deaths of four babies allegedly
born alive during illegal late-
term abortions and killed by
him or his staff.
The jury could also acquit
Gosnell of the charges if they
nd that the prosecution did
not prove its case beyond a
reasonable doubt.
The jury is also considering
whether Gosnell is guilty of
third-degree murder or invol-
untary manslaughter in the
2009 death of abortion patient
Karnamaya Mongar, 41, of Vir-
ginia, who allegedly died of an
overdose of Demerol adminis-
tered by Gosnells untrained
staff.
According to the judge,
rst-degree murder involves
the malicious premeditated
killing of another human be-
ing. Third-degree murder is
a killing without premedita-
tion but involving malice and
a reckless disregard for the
consequences of the killers
acts.
Involuntary manslaugh-
ter involves a death through
recklessness or negligence
but without premeditation
or malice on the part of the
killer.
Abortion docs jury
reviewing charges
Gosnell charged with murder
in deaths of babies allegedly
born alive at his clinic.

Ive always liked working
with my hands, she said. Its
exciting when you gure out
the problem and then you x it.
I like knowing how everything
works, especially on cars, which
are something you use every
day.
Christopher said shes proud
to break gender barriers in a
male-dominated auto industry,
but she sometimes faces hard-
ships on the job.
Its hard being a girl, she
said. People come into work
and always want to talk to the
man. A lot of them, their rst
impression is, She doesnt
know what shes talking about,
but here at OReilly, once they
learn who I am, it doesnt really
matter to them that Im a girl.
Concerned about whether
their occupation is gender ap-
propriate, some men may take
a job that ts the construct of
what others expect, rather than
what he may really want to do,
LaFevor said.
Stereotypes and biases of the
social mirror can get in the way
of an individual making a well-
informed decision, she said.
This tendency to embrace mas-
culine ideology holds a set of
beliefs and expectations about
what men like and should do.
Dickerson, who took a
15-month accelerated nursing
program at UNA, said half of his
nursing class was male.
Sometimes the patients look
at you funny, but I think thats
changing, he said. Most of the
time, people say, Thats cool;
we need more male nurses, but
sometimes the older genera-
tion looks at you and says, But
youre a guy!
Shorter schooling
Many local in-demand careers
no longer require a four-year de-
gree, but instead allow workers
to get on-the-job training or a
two-year degree or certicate.
Pharmacists, nurses, physical
therapists, phlebotomists, home
health workers and other medi-
cal professions are on the rise in
Decatur.
I think pretty soon, nursing
is going to be half and half, or
maybe even have more men,
Dickerson said. In this work cli-
mate, its getting harder to nd
a job. With nursing in demand,
and a lot of older female nurses
retiring, there are more men, es-
pecially older men like me, who
are seeing the opportunity.
Athens native Athena Hinkle,
21, a welder at Izzy Plus in
Florence, took welding classes
for three years at Limestone
County Career Technical Center
while she was a student at Ath-
ens Bible School.
She studied welding and
played volleyball at Northwest
Shoals Community College un-
til the athletic program closed
in 2011. She hopes to enter the
industrial maintenance eld af-
ter she nishes her degree.
Hinkle now works full time
welding furniture for schools
and ofces. She said welding
is very tough, especially in the
summertime with no A/C.
Youre constantly breathing
in toxins, but you get used to
the heat, she said. There are
some days when you just want
to quit. It takes a toll on your
body.
Welders typically attend a
two-year school or get on-the-
job training before landing full-
time work. The Bureau of La-
bor Statistics predicts welding,
which pays about $35,000 annu-
ally, will increase 15 percent by
2020.
The only female welder at
Izzy Plus, Hinkle also is the
youngest employee at the com-
pany.
Most everybody there has
kids my age, she said.
Hinkle said the other weld-
ers are proper and respectful
around her.
Of course, my dad wasnt too
happy that I was doing this at
rst, but I knew it was good for
me, she said. He didnt want
me working around nasty old
men all day, but he likes it now.
To young women consider-
ing a nontraditional career path,
Christopher advises: Dont be
afraid to get dirty.
Work hard and do the best
you can.

Ever since the drug warfarin
was discovered to be a highly
effective anti-clotting agent as
well as a good rat poison in
the early 1950s, it has been the
frontline weapon in prevent-
ing stroke among those with
atrial brillation. But its grow-
ing use has always raised the
specter of dangerously hard-
to-stanch bleeding if someone
taking it is wounded or bleeds
internally from a fall or a car
accident.
Roughly six decades after
its introduction, Kcentra has
been approved by the Food
and Drug Administration. Its
a new product designed to
quickly reverse the effects of
warfarin. The prothrombin
complex concentrate is made
from the pooled plasma of
healthy donors, and it joins
a cluster of other reversal
agents capable of restoring
coagulation, including vitamin
K and fresh-frozen plasma, in
people who take warfarin.
But vitamin K takes time to
work, and so does frozen plas-
ma, which must be thawed and
typed to the recipients blood
group. Kcentra does not need
to be typed to the recipients
blood and so can be used more
quickly to reverse the effects of
warfarin.
The new agent does not,
however, work to reverse the
effects of two anticoagulants
that are new to the market
dabigatran (marketed as
Pradaxa) or rivaroxaban (mar-
keted as Xarelto). Last year,
a case study in the Journal of
Neurosurgery underscored
that physicians still lack re-
versal agents that can restore
coagulation in patients taking
these new medications, with
sometimes deadly results.
Just more than 2 million
Americans are thought to have
atrial brillation, which puts
them at much higher risk of
stroke, and that number is
expected to grow to 5.6 mil-
lion by 2050 as the population
ages. Many taking warfarin are
switching to the newer and
more effective stroke-prevent-
ing medications, and most
newly diagnosed atrial-bril-
lation cases appear to be pre-
scribed them rst.
As a result, the Food and
Drug Administration is eager
to consider therapies that can
reverse the anticoagulant ef-
fects of these new drugs, as
well as products such as Kcen-
tra, which can speed coagula-
tion in those taking warfarin.

TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2013 Page 3C TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com h e a l t h
Both Southeast Alabama Medi-
cal Center and Flowers Hospital
have events planned this week.
After three years as a nurse,
Claire McClenney has found a
balance in her job in the cardio-
vascular intensive care unit at
Flowers Hospital.
You do have to have a heart,
McClenney said. Ive cried
with patients and families, but
then sometimes you just have to
be real strong. Theres a healthy
balance between getting close
to the family and the patients
and just having to do your job
and do it well.
The Headland native spends
a 12-hour shift working with
post-surgical heart patients who
come to the unit directly from
surgery, still with their breath-
ing tubes in.
Its hard work, but McClen-
ney said she likes being one on
one with patients.
It is a big responsibility,
she said. You do learn leader-
ship skills I denitely have.
You learn to work as a team. We
wouldnt be able to do it if we
didnt have a teamYou do rely
on everyone else up here, its not
just you.
Flowers Hospital employs 570
registered nurses and licensed
practical nurses, or LPNs.
There are approximately 900
nurses employed at Southeast
Alabama Medical Center, or
SAMC. Along with the two hos-
pitals, there are the multitude
of medical practices, nursing
homes and urgent care facilities
in the Dothan area that employ
nurses.
McClenney eventually wants
to return to school to become a
certied registered nurse anes-
thetist. Her career choice as a
nurse has come with more ex-
ibility and potential for career
growth than many people might
realize.
I like taking care of people,
she said. I like being indepen-
dent and knowing that in the
medical eld theres a never-
ending job opportunity It
doesnt just end with your bach-
elors.
There are a variety of nurs-
ing jobs within a single facility.
At SAMC, for example, nurses
could work directly with pa-
tients in areas such as neurol-
ogy, cardiovascular, pediatrics,
critical care, obstetrics and gy-
necology, orthopedics and psy-
chiatry. There are other nursing
positions in the hospital, such
as case management and occu-
pational nursing.
Nursing has seen steady
growth over the years as a pro-
fession and is expected to con-
tinue to grow, according to the
American Nurses Association.
However, its also projected
that by 2025 the demand for
nurses will exceed the number
available, creating a potential
nationwide shortage of 260,000
nurses.
Registered nursing was listed
by the Alabama Department of
Labor as the profession having
the most job openings around
the state during the month of
March, according to an Asso-
ciated Press news report that
came out earlier this week.
Fundamentally, youve got to
have compassion and love for
what you do and love to take
care of patients, said registered
nurse Brooke Segrest, who
works at Southeast Alabama
Medical Center. But nursing in
general, as a profession, there
are numerous options, exibil-
ity and so many opportunities
inside the profession.
While they work in different
departments, both Knight and
Segrest have similar manage-
ment jobs as clinical nurse spe-
cialists at SAMC.
Knight, who works in criti-
cal care, has been in the profes-
sion 18 years. Segrest works in
SAMCs cardiovascular unit and
has been in nursing for 10 years.
In their roles, Knight and
Segrest work closely with other
nurses, handling orientation
for new nurses and monitoring
the care provided to patients
throughout their hospital stay
to make sure the best practices
are used.
Theyve seen a lot of new
nurses who wanted to pursue
one area only to discover a love
for something else. And, theyve
seen a lot of second-career nurs-
es.
Both Segrest and Knight said
the profession is rewarding.
One of the reasons Ive re-
mained in the profession is
I nd my job is rewarding,
Knight said. At the end of the
day I can appreciate what I do to
be productive in society.

Continued from Page 1C
According to the American Nurses Association,
there are 3.1 million registered nurses, or RNs,
in the United States. Of that total, 2.6 million
RNs are actually employed in nursing with more
than 60 percent working in hospitals.

WASHINGTON Its not
a Star Trek tricorder, but by
hooking a variety of gadgets
onto a smartphone you could al-
most get a complete physical
without the paper gown or even
a visit to the doctors ofce.
Blood pressure? Just plug the
arm cuff into the phone for a
quick reading.
Heart OK? Put your ngers in
the right spot, and the squiggly
rhythm of an EKG appears on
the phones screen.
Plug in a few more devices
and you could have photos of
your eardrum (Look, no infec-
tion!) and the back of your eye,
listen to your heartbeat, chart
your lung function, even get a
sonogram.
If this sounds like a little too
much DIY medical care, well,
the idea isnt to self-diagnose
with Dr. iPhone. But companies
are rapidly developing minia-
ture medical devices that tap
the power of the ubiquitous
smartphone in hopes of chang-
ing how people monitor their
own health.
We wanted to make sure they
have all the right tools available
in their pocket is how Joseph
Flaherty of AgaMatrix describes
his companys tiny glucose
monitor. Diabetics can plug the
iBGStar into the bottom of an
iPhone and check blood sugar
on the go without carrying an
extra device.
This mobile medicine also
might help doctors care for pa-
tients in new ways. In March,
prominent San Diego cardi-
ologist Eric Topol tweeted no
emergency landing reqd when
he used his smartphone EKG to
diagnose a distressing but not
immediately dangerous irregu-
lar heartbeat in a fellowairplane
passenger at 30,000 feet.
And the University of Califor-
nia, San Francisco, hopes to en-
roll a staggering 1 million people
in its Health eHeart Study to see
whether using mobile technology,
including smartphone tracking of
peoples heart rate and blood pres-
sure, could help treat and prevent
cardiovascular disease.
The question: Do smartphone
devices really work well enough
for the average patient and
primary-care doctor to dive in,
or are early adopters just going
for the cool factor? Many of the
tools cost $100 to $200, theres
little public sales information
yet, and its not clear how in-
surers will handle the edgling
trend.
Technology sometimes
evolves faster than were ready
for it, cautioned Dr. Glen
Stream of the American Acade-
my of Family Physicians. Were
recognizing more and more that
not all care needs to be deliv-
ered face to face, but only if
people measure the right things
and have a relationship with a
doctor to help make good use of
the ndings, he stressed.
Addressing a recent TED-
MED conference in Washing-
ton, Dr. Susan Desmond-Hell-
mann, UCSFs chancellor, put
the challenge this way: How
does mobile monitoring be-
come something more than a
toy or something interesting?
How does it connect to how Im
cared for by my caregiver?
About 300 doctors, health pol-
icy wonks and others attending
that high-tech meeting received
what was dubbed a smartphone
physical from medical students
using 10 of the latest devices.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion has approved a number of
the gadgets for sale; others are
experimental prototypes gath-
ered for the demonstration by
Nurture by Steelcase and the
doctor website Medgadget.
Its going to be our genera-
tion that adopts most of these,
noted Shiv Gaglani, a Johns
Hopkins medical student who
helped organize the project.
The FDA cites industry esti-
mates that 500 million smart-
phone users worldwide will
use some type of health app by
2015. Todays apps mostly are
educational tools, digital health
diaries or reminders and tness
sensors. The new trend is to-
ward more sophisticated medi-
cal apps, some that work with
plug-in devices, that provide
information a doctor might nd
useful.
Some of the devices sell by
prescription or on drugstore
shelves, while others like the
diabetes monitor and blood-
pressure cuff have entered a
new venue for medicine the
Apple store.
Simplicity is part of the idea.
Take the AliveCor Heart Moni-
tor. Snap it on like a smartphone
case, place ngers on the sensors
no sticky wires on the chest
and youve got an EKGrecord-
ing in 30 seconds. The FDA ap-
proved sale of the $199 device
in December for doctors to use
in exams or to prescribe for pa-
tients to use on themselves.
It doesnt measure as much
as a full-scale EKG, and patients
must email the recording to a
doctor for analysis. But heart
patients frequently experience
palpitations that have ended by
the time they reach a cardiolo-
gist and emailing an on-the-
spot EKG reading might help
the doctor gure out what hap-
pened, said AliveCor co-founder
Dr. Dave Albert.
This is a brand-new technol-
ogy. Were trying to understand
how people will use it, said
Albert, whose company also is
seeking FDA permission to sell
the device over the counter.
Welch Allyns iExaminer taps
the smartphones camera to
photograph deep inside the eye
the orange view of the retina
lling the phones screen.
Similarly, CellScope Inc. is
developing an otoscope that
magnier doctors use to peer
into the ear that can snap a
photo of the eardrum. Its not
for sale yet, but might parents
one day email that kind of pic-
ture to the pediatrician before
deciding whether Johnny needs
an ofce visit?
It was great to see it on the
phone, rather than the pinpoints
we get to see through a tradi-
tional scope, said Dr. Bertina
Yen, a Los Angeles internist-
turned-health IT specialist. She
turned the tables during her
smartphone physical, taking
over some of the equipment to
try it out herself.
And University of Washing-
ton researchers are testing a
way to measure lung function in
people with asthma or emphyse-
ma as they blow onto the phone
and it captures the sound. Usu-
ally patients blow into special
machines at the doctors ofce,
while a use-anywhere version
might help someone spot early
signs of worsening before they
see a doctor.
Insurers are studying what
smartphone technology to pay
for. For example, health care gi-
ant Kaiser Permanente is about
to begin a project in Georgia to
sell the iBGStar alongside other
diabetes monitors in its on-site
pharmacies. The project will
determine whether patients
like the smartphone monitor,
if it improves care and if so,

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im re-
sponding to your re-
quest for comments
about the letter from
Happily Single
(Feb. 13) and wheth-
er a divorce would
be the first course of
action upon winning the lottery. In a
community-property state, a divorce
AFTER winning wouldnt legally
protect you from having to share the
spoils with your soon-to-be ex-spouse.
My husband and I have talked at
length about what wed do if either of
us won the Powerball jackpots, and
no, divorce was NOT on the list. Wed
start by consulting a lawyer/financial
planner to find a way to protect our
privacy before claiming the money.
I suspect the comments from Hap-
pilys co-workers are evidence that
unhappily marrieds group together
or enjoy complaining about their
spouses. Studies show that complain-
ing about a spouse significantly de-
creases ones satisfaction in a relation-
ship. While we all vent from time
to time, if talking divorce is your first
response to a jackpot win, then youre
in the wrong relationship.
In it For the Long Haul
Dear In It: I hit the jackpot with the
huge response I received about that
letter. And the majority of readers
said they would NOT divorce:
Dear Abby: I am a lottery winner,
and I feel blessed and proud that I
can take care of my wife the way she
deserves. Within two minutes of my
win I was on the phone with her, tell-
ing her to quit her stressful job. We
now have a wonderful life, with more
than we ever hoped for.
Satisfied in the Sunshine State
Dear Abby: Im single, but that let-
ter didnt surprise me. I think a lot of
people feel they must be married by a
certain age, so they end up settling.
Read some of the crazy lottery winner
stories posted online, and youll see
people trade in their spouses because
they feel they can do better or move
up, kind of like buying a bigger, bet-
ter house. Im not saying its right,
but it happens.
Cindy in Arlington, Va.
Dear Abby: If I won the lottery, the
first thing Id do is GET married.
Were waiting so we can afford the
nice wedding we both want.
Stephanie in Saugus, Calif.
Dear Abby: Ive been married for 40
years. If I won I would not divorce.
Theres NO WAY Id want to give him
half the money. I would stay mar-
ried so I could have control over the
money he spent. It would make up
for all the years that he would pinch
my pennies and make me squeeze a
nickel till the buffalo pooped.
Wishful in Ohio
Dear Abby: If I were to win the lot-
tery, I would trade all of it just to
have one more hug and one more
night talking with my wife, who
died 16 years ago. Our children were
young when she died, and I have tried
my best to raise them to be good
adults. But my heart still aches over
losing her to cancer. I believe all wid-
ows and widowers would agree with
me on this.
Trent in Oklahoma

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
cant control what other people
want, and it usually isnt about
you, anyway. Youre on a mission
to find a good fit. Mutual ben-
efits are the only benefits that
interest you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
see only your half of a relation-
ship. Youll never know exactly
what the other person thinks. It
is likely that what is demonstrat-
ed is only the tip of the iceberg.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
playfulness knows no bounds
today. Youll see most of your
interactions as opportunities
to spread warmth and silliness.
Forging lighthearted connections
is a noble pursuit.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
beautiful part about living hon-
estly is that questions wont
scare you. Youll get some odd
questions today, and youll feel
perfectly comfortable expressing
who you are.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your life
will be touched by an element of
mystery. Youre smart, and youll
figure out the illusion involved,
but youre also fun, so youll take
your time, enjoying the ruse.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
emotional life gets a boost with
todays close encounter. This
could be about making new
friends, allowing yourself to be
influenced or experiencing the
rush that comes with new love.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those
who work for praise or the ego
rush that comes from extra
attention wont be able to sus-
tain a consistent workflow. Seek
partners who use work as a
means to learn and share.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Well-
meaning friends will give crum-
my advice. Just because some-
one is close to you doesnt make
him or her an expert on your life.
Its better to ask the real experts
about the issues that affect you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Even though youre in the midst
of a competition, it will benefit
you to tone down the level of
aggression and cultivate a spirit
of harmony and cooperation. Its
easy to be generous when you
know youre going to win.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You do your most brilliant work
when you lose your awareness of
how youre coming off, the time
and all possible gains that could
come of a project. Lose yourself,
and you gain everything.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A
female figure will be important
to the action. She will encourage
you in just the right way and/or
gently hold you accountable for
what you wanted to accomplish.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Unusual circumstances could
inspire you to behave in a way
that is not typical of you. The
response you get will be most
enlightening, and theres some-
thing concrete to gain from what
you learn.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 7). This
month you will meet someone
new, immediately like that per-
son and spark an epic relation-
ship. Success in June depends
on your ability to observe well
and correctly analyze what you
see. Actively seek mentorship.
July is your chance to do a dif-
ferent kind of work. Your lucky
numbers are: 9, 2, 44, 48 and 19.
DALLAS Life, one might
say, is a dance a choreog-
raphy of steps graceful and
gangly, clumsy and hesitant,
breathtaking and bold. No one
dances or hears lifes music in
quite the same way.
Which is, in a way, why the
Dance for Movement Disor-
ders class exists at all. And
why, above the music during
these thrice-weekly classes,
instructor and class founder
Misty Owens periodically
calls, All variations accepted!
Being granted such permis-
sion makes everyone smile.
Her words seem to strengthen
their resolve, to put a bit more
determination into their steps
that, an hour ago, were much
more hesitant.
The rst time I walked in,
says Doris Sosnowski of Dal-
las, who has taken the class
since it began in January 2012,
I felt normal again.
Like most people in the
class, she has Parkinsons dis-
ease. Others have multiple
sclerosis or other syndromes
that cause them to tremble or
freeze or have declining con-
trol of their movements.
In this wide-windowed,
wood-oored studio at Texas
Health Finley Ewing Cardio-
vascular & Fitness Center Dal-
las, Owens helps them become
free.
Dancing improves their
rhythm and timing, which
are lost with such diseases,
Owens says. It improves u-
idity and balance. They rid
themselves of rigidity. Their
tremors fade away sometimes.
Their capacity for movement
changes.
As class begins and everyone
sits in folding chairs pulled
into a circle, she reaches for
her iPod, which shes plugged
into a sound dock on the oor
next to her. She pushes a but-
ton; the rst song is Ive Got
the World on a String, per-
formed by Ella Fitzgerald. But
thats just today; each playlist
is different, a unique combi-
nation of Big Band, doo-wop,
Broadway classics, jazz stan-
dards, classical music, rock n
roll and international tunes.
Owens says she puts a lot of
time into compiling each list,
nding the right tempos, dy-
namics, ow and quality for
my dance combinations, and
for the desired effect I look for
in the movements of my dance
students.
Those last three words
capture it all; these men and
women arent patients to her:
Theyre students of dance.
The core of my being re-
volves around dance, and that
love comes through my efforts
to inspire others to experience
the joy and freedom of move-
ment that means so much to
me, she says.
After only a few notes, give
or take an arm lift and stretch,
you see and sense and feel her
passion.
Scoop, hands together,
low, Owens directs. Dive
into a higher space and lower
to the oor. Cross your hands
like youre ying.
Muscles start to warm up,
and Owens stops the music
for introductions. She begins,
forming a large, elaborate M
with her arm as she says her
name. Everyone repeats it,
then takes turns going around
the circle with their own
names and gestures. Vicky
claps twice; one of the Jims
kicks the air; the other waves
his arms. Betty raises her arms
and legs.
Jim Rosenbloom started the
class after having a problem
with his rotator cuff. His doc-
tor recommended surgery;
Rosenbloom said he wanted to
try exercise rst.
After a month and a half, I
was ne, says Rosenbloom,
68, who has had Parkinsons
for a decade. I went to the
doctor, and he said, What have
you been doing? If you do the
right thing, it gives you hope.
You see it working and know it
isnt just talk.
An unexpected benet of the
class, he says, is that his hand-
writing has improved. I think
its because you learn body
control so nely in these danc-
es, so after a while it becomes
second nature.
As the class progresses, so
do the intricacies and combi-
nations of movements. Partici-
pants punch an imaginary wall
at waist level, shoulder level,
hip level. For another move,
Owens tells them to imagine a
tassel on their shoulders:
Grab it and pull it down!
she says.
To a Brazilian song, they
stretch their arms: Brush!
Owens says. Scoop! Lift!
Owens knows what it takes
for everyone to be here. Par-
kinsons isnt just a matter of
shaking. Seemingly simple
movements zipping a zip-
per, tying a shoe involve a
painstaking process. Patients
must learn the intricacies of
timing their meds and their
meals to make them most ef-
cient, she says.
Its not just zipping into the
gym when you feel like it, she
says. You lift one leg into the
car, then reach down and lift
the other one in.
Owens grew up in Dallas
and taught her rst class at age
15 at London School of Dance,
the East Dallas studio where
she is now artistic director and
that her mother has owned for
47 years.
As class continues on this
sunny Tuesday, the dancers
move their feet in heel-toe rep-
etitions as Mel Torme sings
Games People Play. They
extend their legs, ex their
feet, bend at the waist. They
shufe as they sit, crossing
their ankles, holding position.
Owens leads; they all follow
with seeming ease and grace.
You can lose yourself in the
choreography, the rhythm, the
palpable comfort they all feel
with what theyre doing, with
one another and with her.
When she says, OK, every-
body, lets go to the barre,
class member Joanna Evans,
who is in her 60s and has a dis-
order that causes a muscle in
her neck to twitch uncontrol-
lably, says quietly, This isnt
physical therapy. Its emotional
therapy.
Jerri Capps, tall and pos-
ture-perfect, looks so at ease
standing at the barre that
youd swear shes been danc-
ing for years. Oh no, she later
says; she never had before she
walked into the class a month
ago.
My gosh, this is so invigo-
rating, so liberating, says
Capps, 58, whose Parkinsons
was diagnosed 10 years ago.
Parkinsons is kind of a sen-
tence. There is no cure. Its not
a club you want to be in, but if
youre in it, you make the best
of it.
Owens was teaching at the
Mark Morris Dance Group in
Brooklyn in 2002 when the
company decided to start its
Movement Disorders class and
she was asked to be one of its
founders. Before then, her only
connection to Parkinsons was
from her childhood. A neigh-
bor who was often outdoors
went inside one day; from then
on, shed only catch glimpses of
him through his front window.
Only when he died did Owens
learn he had Parkinsons.
Patients used to be told,
Sit down; you might fall. Now
its, Exercise every day and do
different things, says Owens,
whose experience inspired her
to write her masters thesis on
using dance to manage symp-
toms of Parkinsons. I always
had questions about him when
I grew up. He was so opposite
my world, someone not mov-
ing at all.
Bobby Helms sings My Spe-
cial Angel as Owens enthu-
siasm continues to enthrall:
Bend your knees. Your hips
go right under you. Excellent
job! Your balance is right on
the money! Theres no pay, but
youre all hired.
At this point, all but a few
have released the barre as they
do shufe steps punctuated by
the occasional Woo!
Oh, Jim, Owens says to
one student, I love that you
love to do that. A man after my
own heart a man who likes
to Woo!
