Buddy Benches create safe area

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

A Westfield family is assisting Westfield Washington Schools’ anti-bullying program by installing eight Buddy Benches in the district. education The benches are a safe, bully-free area where students can go to seek assistance from teachers and their peers.

“Our daughter had some issues at school and kind of felt left out and bullied a little bit here and there, so after hearing about the original Buddy Bench we asked (Westfield Intermediate School) Principal (Corey) Hartley if he’d like one here and he was very enthusiastic,” Matt Lutz said. “That night over dinner, Amy and I were talking about, what if we tried to get one into every school? We talked about it more and more and decided to take it district wide.”

The Lutzes met with school officials and walked away with a quick answer.

“It took all of two minutest to make that sale.

They were very embracive to the idea,” Lutz said.

The Lutzes, on behalf of Matt’s business, ERA Real Estate Links, paid for and installed benches at all six elementary schools and two on the intermediate school playground.

“We really want to give kids a safe place to go if they feel left out on the playground,” he added. “If they feel bullied, if they feel isolated, lonely, whatever it is. Some kids are afraid to go tell a teacher they

have been picked on, but if they go here it’s kind of like raising their hand and saying, ‘I need help’ and maybe that will start the dialogue.”

All benches are custom made and will include the school’s name engraved in the seat.

“The community has been awesome to us and we wanted to give back,” Lutz said. “The best reward out of all of this is to hopefully see other schools take this idea.”

The Lutzes’ children said the benches are an anonymous way students can share their feelings without telling on others.

“It makes people feel more open to themselves,” said Colby, a seventh-grade student at the middle school.

“I like to help people and care about them. If they feel bad and are outside, I can go help them,” said Cate, a fifth-grader at WIS. Supt. Dr. Mark Keen said the benches are a tremendous idea and another way the community and district are partnering together.

“It is a visible way for kids to know there is a safe area to go to,” he said.

Hartley, the school principal, agreed that the benches are a nice addition.

“I appreciate what the family has done for us,” he said. “It’s an easy way for the kiddos who might find it difficult to find someone to play with. … We’re always looking for ways to be proactive, to deter anything of a negative nature.”

ON THE WEB

DVD review Hollywood likes to boast of big stars in big movies that “no one else could have played the part,” but in the case of “Maleficent” I think that’s demonstrably true. Only Angelina Jolie has the requisite combination of compelling screen presence, supernatural beauty and somewhat eerie star persona to play in this revisionist take on the Sleeping Beauty fable.

SCHOOL BOARD AT-LARGE Our Kids

The most important assets we have in this country are our young people.

They will become our future leaders.

This is why I have such a dedication to our school system and to your kids.

This is a place where we can all make a difference that will continue for generations to come. I ask for your support in my next role as School Board Member At-Large. I understand the dedication of time and the commitment required to do the job well, and I will use all my skills to maintain and improve the great schools we have in Westfield.

the scenes,” she said. “I thought it would be exciting to be Mayor Cook for the day.”

Miller said Oct. 27 was the first council meeting she attended and the first time she met Cook.

“I requested this meeting. It’s a really exciting time for Westfield. I wanted to be here when they made the final vote,” she said. “I love the small town feel of Westfield. We’re growing and it’s getting more exciting.”

While she wasn’t asked her opinion, Miller said she agreed with the council’s decision to approve the $53 million lease on the indoor sports facility at Grand Park.

“I think it’s great for Westfield,” she said. “As a taxpayer, I’m excited about it.”

Involvement in Schools

I come from a family of educators. My father, Dr. Robert E Dalton, is a former superintendent of Kokomo Schools, and former Deputy State Superintendent of Schools. Both my sisters have been public school teachers for over 25 years. I have been a substitute teacher for Westfield schools (2011 to 2013) and have taught many different subjects. I have had the opportunity to be in all of the WWS facilities since relocating to Westfield in 2004.

Coaching with Integrity

You may have also met me or seen me in one of my roles as a coach. I have proudly coached many students across several sports over the last 10 years. My coaching experience is not only within the schools, but also with our local recreational league, WYSI. The role of a coach is something I take very seriously and the lessons I strive to teach during coaching go well beyond the sport.

minutes with Kurtis Miller

By Melissa Hicks Kurtis Miller is a computer programmer at Delta Technologies. He has been a Westfield resident for 16 years.

Do you have a special childhood memory?

I actually grew up in the state of Delaware. We would often go down to the beach or go fishing on the Delaware Bay. Have you had a teacher who inspired you and how?

My favorite teacher in high school was Mr. Miller, no relation. I went to a really small private high school, so most of the teachers taught more than one class. And he was math, Spanish, physics, yearbook sponsor and he also was athletic director.

Do you have a pet? If not, what kind would you want?

We have a dog. Her name is Gingersnap and she is a Dutch Shepherd, which body style wise is similar to a German Shepherd.

What is one thing you would change about your community?

Probably not borrowing so many ideas from Carmel. … I think roundabouts make sense in certain places, but don’t know that we need roundabouts every single place.

Why did you choose to move to or stay in this community?

We wanted to get closer to our church and get more into a suburban community.

Firefighters contain overnight vacant house fire in rural Westfield

Officials said the fire started around 1:45 a.m. at 17728 Eagletown Rd. Westfield Fire Chief Joe Lyons said firefighters

immediately began fighting the flames from the outside “because of heavy fire conditions.”

“The structure began to collapse 14 minutes after the crews arrived,” Lyons said.

Sheridan and Zionsville fire departments were called to the scene to assist. Because there were no hydrants in the rural area, water had to be shuttled in. Lyons said the cause of the fire is under investigation.

IVS opens new location

By Eric Ellis • eric@youarecurrent.com

Indiana Vein Specialists

After three years of having a location in Fishers, Indiana Vein Specialists have opened another clinic in West Carmel, at business 10485 Commerce Dr., Suite 100.

CEO Kari Schoonover said the medical office specializes in noninvasive varicose and spider vein treatment – all of which was started by Dr. Jeff Schoonover, board certified phlebologist.

“All of the work is done in office with laser and ultrasound guided therapy,” Kari said. “Most of our patients are back up and moving around that same day, so there’s very little down time.”

Kari said the office that has been open in Fishers has met the needs of their patients, but in order to reach more of Hamilton County, they decided to expand to the “bookend” location in Carmel – effectively serving the east and west ends of Hamilton County.

As for how the new location has affected the staff, Kari said they’ve grown and added a few more members to accommodate.

“When we started back in 2011, we had four staff members and since then have grown to 10,” Kari said. “We’ve added ultrasound technicians, a nurse practitioner and a physician’s assistant.”

Dr. Jeff Schoonover will be working at both locations.

“He’s very involved with the care for every patient that comes into the office,” Kari said.

Though other physicians offer similar treat-

ments, Dr. Schoonover has a specific treatment protocol.

“The hard part of this is that (patients) want their veins done that day – all gone right away after one visit,” Kari said. “The problem is that these issues take years to develop and they can’t always be removed in just one visit. We’re helping to educate the process of how varicose veins form, what causes them, why it’s a chronic disease and the process we go through to take care and limit reoccurrence by not only taking care of the large veins but the small ones that cause continual issues for people.”

According to Kari, there are many people who suffer from varicose and spider veins – men as well as women, Kari said. Though they started small, they expanded to their second location as well as their staff to accommodate more patients.

“All of our clinical staff have experience in vascular disease or cardiology,” Kari said, “and are specifically trained to follow the same treatment process implemented by Dr. Schoonover.”

Fresh start in new boutique

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

After being laid off from her job of 28 years at an insurance company nearly a year ago, Sherry Kancs contemplated her next now open move with her recently retired friend Dace Abeltins.

“We talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up,” said the 56-year-old Kancs with a laugh. “We both always wanted to open a boutique or resale store. So we did.”

The women, friends for nearly 20 years, recently opened Pebbles to Pearls Boutique, a store with vintage items, in Westfield on 108 E. Main St. The store had its official grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 25.

“Dace has done an excellent job with the staging of the room,” said Kancs, a Carmel resident.

“We are a store full of very unique vintage and antique items, some retro. Our products change quite a bit. Most of the items are ours that we’ve shopped for and brought, but we have a few consignment items now.”

The store had a soft opening during the Grand

Junction Derby and Street Festival on Oct. 4.

While Kancs has not worked in retail before, Abeltins has 30-plus years of experience. Abeltins, 66, started worked for L.S. Ayres (now Macy’s) in high school. She also worked for now-defunct Block’s in Indianapolis and some smaller shops in Indiana. She also worked for Bloomingdale’s in New York for a few years. She was working for the Indiana Supreme Court when she retired.

“I was looking for something to reinvent myself and this came along and it’s been wonderful,” said Abeltins, who lives in downtown Indianapolis. “I think Westfield is a very up-andcoming area.”

Kancs is optimistic, too.

“We know it’s growing so it’s going to be very successful, I think,” Kancs said. “So I think we’re in good shape.”

Westfield City Council President Jim Ake, who helped with the ribbon-cutting ceremony, said the boutique is a welcome addition to the downtown district.

Grander plans Westfield council approves $53M lease for indoor sports facility at Grand Park

By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Since it opened earlier this year, Grand Park Sports Complex has surpassed expectations. In the past month it also has spurred private economic development with the cover story announcements of the $17 million Cambria Suites and Hotel and $6 million Grand Park Fieldhouse for indoor basketball and volleyball.

“We had anticipated 500,000 visitors to Grand Park in its first year. As of (early October), we had topped 870,000 visits to this park in its very first year,” Mayor Andy Cook said.

On Oct. 27, Westfield took another substantial step forward with Grand Park as the city council approved to back a $53 million lease on a new Cook indoor soccer facility. The measure passed 6-1 with councilor Cindy Spoljaric casting the lone dissenting vote.

“We’ve spent an awful lot of money in Grand Park and that concerns me,” Spoljaric said. “We don’t have the full accounting yet and that concerns me. … I’d like to see it built privately.”

The $25.7 million facility, which with interSpoljaric est will cost $53 million, will be developed by Holladay Properties and leased to the city for the next 25 years.

Cook said the city will use funds collected from subleased building tenants to pay the annual rent, which starts at $1.97 million and escalates every five years. If tenant payments aren’t enough, the city and its taxpayers may be left footing the remaining bill. Cook said that risk is small.

“Projected revenues exceed operating costs,” he said.

Deputy Mayor Todd Burtron said the city has three potential tenants in the process of finalizing deals, including Indiana Soccer Association, Indiana Sports Properties and Jonathan Byrd’s restaurant. He said 8,000 square feet is still Burtron available in the building.

“There is much marketplace demand for this product,” Burtron said. “A sports science organization wants in.”

The 372,000-square-foot facility will house three full-size professional soccer fields that can be used for recreational play and competitive play for all field sports. The building will also have office space, locker rooms, meeting rooms and a restaurant focused on family dining. It will be built between Parking Lot C and 191st Street.

When the project was first announced at Grand Park’s opening on June 20, original costs were $20 million. Officials said the price tag rose because plans changed to improve the facility and incorporate new features.

“We created no new debt building Grand Park,” Cook said.

Burtron said partnering with Holladay Properties provided the city three options it wouldn’t have if it built the facility itself, including a lower interest rate and not having a $2 million government-mandated reserve fund. Burtron said Westfield also would have been required to pick the lowest bidder, which caused problems with the outdoor facility and cost the city an additional

$4 million to fix.

“It also doesn’t tie up a specific revenue stream. We can use any available revenues or pull from all TIF districts,” Burtron said.

As previously reported, Westfield also has an option to buy the building outright after it opens in November 2015. Cook said it’s in the best interest of the city to control the cash flow and scheduling of the indoor and outdoor events at Grand Park.

“We will take them (Holladay out at the council’s discretion,” he said.

The need

Mark Anderson of Indiana Fire Juniors said the soccer club sends all of its players to the eastside of Indianapolis to train at an indoor facility from 5 to 9 p.m. weekdays and all day on the weekend.

“It still doesn’t meet all of our needs,” he said, “and the timeslots used are not family friendly. A complex like this will take care of all of this.”

Indiana Soccer Executive Director Dave Guthrie said the organization has 60,000 members and a large portion live within 35 minutes of Guthrie Grand Park.

“The problem we have is connecting the fall season to spring season,” he said, adding the Olympic development squad has interest to add to the economic impact of Grand Park. “It will do its best to make sure it not just fills it, but overflows it.”

Brenda Myers, Hamilton County Tourism exMyers ecutive director, said the county has always had a reputation with competitive youth sports regionally, but the addition of Grand Park has increased the range nationally. Myers said

DETAILS Base rent for each lease year is: • Years 1 to 5: $1,970,000 annually ($9.85 million total) • Years 6 to 10: $2,045,000 annually ($10.225 million total) • Years 11 to 15: $2,120,000 annually ($10.6 million total) • Years 16 to 20: $2,195,000 annually ($10.975 million total) • Years 21 to 25: $2,270,000 annually ($11.35 million total) Deal terms - Holladay Properties will obtain a loan (at a lower rate than the city could receive) and sign Westfield as the tenant. The city would be responsible for paying off the loan and for operating expenses in an annual lease payment. Westfield would sign subleases, earning an estimated $2.4 million to $2.5 million annually, which would be used to pay the lease. Officials said the remaining funds would be reinvested in Grand Park. The city plans to pay Holladay approximately $485,000 to take ownership when the building is complete in November 2015.

hotel occupancy is up 9 percent since the sports complex opened.

“The weekend occupancy is 74 percent April to August. Sports played a huge part in that,” she said. “Hamilton County will have 900 more hotel rooms in the next three years. That’s 325,000 room nights to sell annually.”

Myers said January through March are the weakest months of the year for tourism and having a year-round facility will provide more income to local merchants and businesses.

“I can’t stress enough the economic impact of sports in Hamilton County,” she said.

Murray Clark, board president of the Indiana Soccer Association, said U.S. Soccer committed to hosting a regional tournament with 14 states in 2016 before a single game has been played at Grand Park.

“That’s 10,000 bed nights in 2016 already committed,” he said.

“This facility completes the project out there. It’s world class as designed. There will not be a nice facility of its kind in the country if it’s built.”

Reduced Risk

All council members agreed that the indoor facility has risk involved, but councilor Rob Stokes said the risk was something the city needed to take.

“If you wait for a guarantee, you’ll never make any moves,” he said. “It would be nice if some private individual came in with $25 million and built this thing right out of the ground. It would be great, but that hasn’t happened. We are taking these steps to make it happen. The risk is Stokes acceptable and will pay off in the long run. I am sure of that.”

Councilor Chuck Lehman said he was skeptical until he closely examined the numbers.

“I dug to the bottom. The deeper I dug, the more confident I got,” he said. “At the end of the day, we put together a quality plan. The biggest risk is to do nothing. Without any risk, we’re just going to be another somebody hoping something might come our way.”

The council briefly discussed tabling its decision two weeks to let the public vet the finances, but ultimately decided it was the time to act.

“Would I like to wait and vote on this in two weeks? Yes,” councilor Steve Hoover said. “It’s not going to change my mind.”

Tabling the lease would have caused potential delays in finalizing the three sublease agreements, according to Burtron. It also would cause stress on Holladay’s construction timetable.

“The windows are very, very narrow in getting any kind of construction as winter is approaching,” said Chris Wilkes, senior vice president of Holladay Properties and Westfield resident. “You lose two weeks, you often lose four months. … We have a 30- to 45-day process starting Nov. 1. If we wait too long, we’ll have to shut the site down and come back in spring.”

FR O M T H E BACKSHOP Hillary runs off at the mouth again At a Democratic rally last month in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton’s attempt to assault “trickle-down economics” resulted in a stunningly anomalous statement. The Washington Free Beacon reports that Clinton defended raising the minimum wage, saying, “Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, they always say that.” She went on to say, according to the Beacon, that businesses and corporations are not the job creators of America. “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” the former secretary of state said.

OK, that’s so much horse bleep that it isn’t even logical. We hope it strikes you the same way. How, then, are jobs created, Mrs. Clinton (except for government, of course, where there are as many positions with lifetime benefits as there are paper clips in the backs of long-forgotten desk drawers)? And what about all the speeches you were hired to give to Goldman Sachs and others for large sums of money?

Wouldn’t those be jobs, albeit short-term?

Cashing checks for $12 million in the 16 months since leaving the State Department, and trickling down into your wallet? Yes! The liberals always look for ways to twist your mind and expect you to step right in line – except for when it comes to rules, and then they only apply to those of us on the other side of the fence. Keep in mind the woman uttering such nonsense likely will be the Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. presidency in 2016. She is the once-referred-to “Smartest Woman in the World.” The mainstream media loved that one.

All she has shown us in the way of intelligence is she married well. She’s just another in a long line of bloated-government proponents looking to reach into the pockets of business owners and entrepreneurs. What’s worse, she believes what she says. Here’s hoping the weak-minded liberal media makes her eat her words. Whom are we kidding? That’ll never happen.

Commentary by Danielle WIlson

Hope for not-for-profits?

Commentary by Terry Anker This month, the charitable industry’s stand, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, published an extensive review of giving in America. For the past two years, it has been collecting data from a variety of sources and working to ensure the highest level of granularity given the Herculean nature of the big-data task. Much of the news was not particularly surprising. It echoed Alexis de Tocqueville’s work at the country’s founding – Americans are very generous.

Yet like all anticipated news, when one looks closely there is always something new to learn.

Marion County gives, elevating itself to a higher category per capita than those nearby. It is something that is worthy of further investigation – and it will get it.

In a particularly interesting infographic, the Chronicle highlighted a handful of measures that it considered of note. The Southeast gives a great deal more than the Northeast. Utah is the undisputed winner in caring – really, without compare. And, the most personally generous states all voted for Mitt Romney in the last

election (top 17).

Religion is a factor. Folks in these states tended to be closer to the traditional American, some might say conservative, values of church and caring for others. Some have also argued that people who prefer to tax rather than give don’t find a moral imperative in personal generosity. Whatever the reason, it leads to an interesting conundrum. If America is moving toward a more politically liberal agenda, can our established institutional not-for-profits hope to survive the transition to a fully governmentbased support system? Will all who care for the sick, poor, hungry, arts and other interests ultimately be in the employ of Uncle Sam? And if the IRS becomes our philanthropic advisor, are we somehow better served? Does El Jefe bigger government make us more moral and the poor less downtrodden?

Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start of winning game.

– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I used to avoid the news like the plague (or Ebola to be timely). “How can you live in this day and age and not be up on current events?” my husband Doo would ask. “You were a history major, for God’s sake!” True dat, Doo. But frankly, it bummed me out. I had four babies to keep alive and I just didn’t have the time or energy to think about elections or economies or energy efficiency. But my decision to live in blissful ignorance was put on hold when I went back to teaching. For the sake of our future leaders, I had to get my schtick together.

At first it felt good. I liked being able to join in on Obamacare conversations and offer intelligent insight on the latest Chinese crisis.

I’d even preference my astute observations with “I just heard on NPR” or “Did you see that article in the New York Times?” to subtly brag about my newfound worldly awareness. Listen to me! I’m smart!

But after four years of blowing off Bob & Tom and Cosmo, I’m ready to revert to my unplugged self. It’s all too much. Between the Middle East, Africa, Russia and domestic issues, my anxiety at three in the morning is in overdrive. Add to that pre-dawn stress an ounce of overactive imagination and two of the sense that I should be doing something to help, and you’ve got a strung-out mom incapable of restful sleep. So I’m calling it quits. The world at large can continue to muddle onward, but I’m checking out.

Before you fire off a hate mail, rest assured I’ll continue to scan the headlines daily to stay subconsciously aware of local, national and international goings-on. But for the sake of my sanity, I need a break. With kids, struggling students, a demanding job and five disgusting toilet bowls constantly flipping me the bird, I have enough things to worry about. (How are we going to afford car insurance for my 16-year-old and when exactly am I going to get around to cleaning the aforementioned porcelain thrones?) If I do find the time for a book or TV, then I choose to be entertained, not informed. That’s why I’m currently reading Chelsea Handler’s “Uganda Be Kidding Me” and watching the oddly-addicting nautical reality series “Below Deck.” Doo’s Economist can march itself right back over to his bedside table. I now prefer to escape from this world, not dive deeper into it.

I understand that many of you, like Doo, feel incomplete when you don’t get your nightly dose of Brian Williams. You go! But for me, no news is, once again, good news. Peace out.

Toast of the town Commentary by Dick Wolfsie We needed a new toaster, but Mary Ellen was afraid I’d purchase one that looked like that Scion car. So we went shopping together and soon had a shiny new addition to our humor kitchen counter.

I opened the box and was about to discard the directions, confident that even I could master this simple device, knowing the basic premise of toasting hasn’t changed much over the years. As I discovered, the instructions are apparently for folks who are first-time buyers. To them, this is the greatest invention since sliced bread. In fact, this was the next invention after sliced bread.

The first page of the booklet is a diagram that points out some of the nifty features of the appliance. Numbered 1 to 5, there are arrows pointing at buttons labeled: • Toast Lever • Bagel • Frozen • Cancel • Toast Shade If you didn’t have this diagram, you would have to look on the actual buttons—which clearly say: Lever, Bagel, Frozen, Cancel and Toast Shade. The toast shade button is a bit misleading since all the shades are basically tan. I think the manufacturer should make that clear.

Mary Ellen and I tried the toaster. We put in two slices and slowly pushed the lever down. So

far, so good. We had set the shade for medium, so when the toaster started sending up smoke signals, we quickly pushed the cancel button… but nothing happened.

“Maybe you have to call ahead to cancel,” said Mary Ellen.

“Very cute. I don’t think the button works.”

“What’s the frozen button for? Why are they admitting that? If a button is frozen, isn’t it time to get a new toaster?” Her Gracie Allen routine is funny for only so long. I went back to the booklet and kept reading.

One part of the instructions makes it very clear that first you load the toast, then you press down and lock the lever in place. This load and lock method by Black & Decker is a little different from the lock and load method popularized by Smith & Wesson.

At least there was, some reassuring advice for the new toaster owner, who is informed that the warranty covers all defects in materials or workmanship, but that “Black & Decker’s liability cannot exceed the price of the toaster.” So if your entire kitchen goes up in flames due to a faulty appliance, not to worry: your check for $39.95 will soon be in the mail.

Sakana of Tokyo Bar and Sushi

By Maria Leichty • news@currentinwestfield.com

One of Indiana’s favorite holiday traditions!

Journey by train to the North Pole.

Visit Santa. Enjoy a story and a treat on the way. Hurry! Seats sell quickly.

Find out more! Visit ITM.org today!

Earlier in October, the Sushi on the Rocks near the intersection of 82nd Street and Allisonville Road changed ownership and bedining came Sakana of Tokyo.

Owner Batbold “Bart” Tsevegmid has been in the sushi business for 17 years.

Originally from Mongolia, Tsevegmid worked for a sushi restaurant in Jeffersonville, Ind., for 11 years before opening one in Chicago. He said he wanted to return to Indiana so he opened Sakana of Tokyo.

“It is a nice atmosphere and good location,” Tsevegmid said. “All we need is good food and service.”

Some changes to the menu include the fresh fish that comes in a couple of times a week, the larger portions and the homemade sauces.

Tsevegmid said he also likes mixing up the ingredients. He has customers create their own because he likes to work without menus.

“I want to give them a choice of what they want,” Tsevegmid said.

The different lunch specials and bento boxes provide lots of variety.

Lunch specials are between $7 and $9 and come with a soup starter, choice of California roll, shrimp tempura or dynamite rolls, salad, an egg roll, steamed rice and two gyoza (similar to dumplings).

Some rolls Tsevegmid suggests are the “very

unique and very healthy” mango and salmon Hawaiian roll and the Red Bull roll which comes with steak for non-seafood lovers.

Server Kelsey Deckard has worked at this location since April 2013.

Some differences she has seen between restaurants have been the fresher fish and the “unbeatable” lunch prices.

The restaurant seats more than 100 people.

There is an upstairs with a sushi bar as well.

Meetings or private parties for 50 to 70 people can be held there.

Tsevegmid said one of the reasons he liked this venue was because it had more room than his last restaurant.

Hours are Monday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m., Friday it is open until 10:30 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.

Is the flu vaccine safe?

news@currentinwestfield.com

According to an October report from health care watchdog Farmacy, Inc., a Johns Hopkins study released in the British wellness Medical Journal last month is proof enough that everyone should be careful when it comes to vaccinating against influenza.

The report states: “Peter Doshi, Ph.D., charges that although the vaccines are being pushed on the public in unprecedented numbers, they are less effective and cause more side effects than alleged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

This comes after U.S. health care providers are encouraging and administering the vaccine more than ever. According to Doshi, in 1994, 32 million doses of the flu vaccines were available. This year, more than 135 million doses are available.

“The vaccine may be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and the threat of influenza seems to be overstated,” Doshi said in the BMJ. But local doctors aren’t so convinced that this aggressive campaign in favor of vaccinating is a bad thing.

“This is obviously a provocative article. We have seen very severe flu epidemics in the past and know that some strains of influenza can be lethal to some people,” stated Gaurav Arora, Ph.D., chief medical officer and medical director of the emergency department at Indiana University Health Saxony Hospital. “The immunization does seem to confer some protection and the risk of the vaccine is small. As a health care provider, we not only need to protect ourselves, but come

into contact with patients in whom influenza can be lethal, so we owe it to ourselves and our patients to be immunized.”

Last year, local hospitals began requiring that all health care workers receive the flu vaccine, or were at risk of losing their jobs. The Indianapolis Coalition for Patient Safety launched a campaign and formed a flu vaccine work group. According to a release, the goal is “to unite in an effort to require flu vaccination for health care workers to continue making Indianapolis a safe place to receive health care.”

Doctors from St.Vincent, Community Health and IU Health hospitals were all part of this campaign.

Arora stated he gets the flu vaccine yearly.

He is part of a large network of doctors who encourage their patients and families to get vaccinated.

“I am glad to see the conversation generated by this article and hope it will lead to more larger scale scientific studies on the risks and benefits of the influenza vaccine,” he stated.

A splash of sun helps bones

Commentary by Emily Frank, M.D.

Around the time women come into motherhood, we begin witnessing our mothers and grandmothers suffering bronutrition ken wrists, hips and spines.

As it happens, osteoporosis — the result of losing too much bone, producing too little of it or both — leaves one in two women older than 50 with a broken bone and many with loss of height. After that, a cascade of repeated fractures, pain and disability can occur.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Taking steps to prevent osteoporosis is easy and inexpensive.

Today, we focus on one bone-health villain: vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D occurs naturally in the body in response to sun exposure. Just let the sun kiss your bare skin for a few minutes, and, voilà, you have a new stash of vitamin D. Easy enough, right? The trouble is with more of us slathering on 60 SPF sunscreen ’round the clock and leading indoor lifestyles — especially as winter approaches — we don’t get enough rays to produce vitamin D. That deficiency can lead to porous, brittle bones, worsening the natural decline in bone strength and density we experience in our 50s, around the time menopause hits.

People with the deficiency may experience tiredness and general aches and pains, according to the Vitamin D Council. A severe deficiency

may trigger pain in the bones or infections. Yet, in most cases, vitamin D deficiency, like osteoporosis, is symptom-free until it evolves into something more serious.

So how do you get enough vitamin D? While some foods carry the nutrient, beware: You can’t get enough through diet. Small amounts can be found in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sardines), eggs, mushrooms, dairy and grains that are fortified with vitamin D, but not enough to maintain healthy levels.

That leaves us with two alternatives: the sun and supplements. I advise a few minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen one or two days a week. Vitamin D kicks into production in about half the time it takes your skin to turn pink and begin to burn, according to the council — that’s about 15 minutes for a fair-skinned person or a couple of hours for a dark-skinned person. The closer to midday sun, the better, the council advises: Uneasy about sun exposure? Take a supplement. It’s safe, inexpensive and widely available. I recommend 600 to 1000 IU daily for most adults.

Vitamin D3 is your best bet, says the council, not the stuff mixed with calcium.

Emily Frank, M.D., is a physician for St.Vincent Health.

Enjoy holiday foods with no regrets Commentary by LeeAnne Nazer, MD

sible. Reduced-fat sour cream and cream cheese, fat-free half and half, and low-fat cheeses are great choices to cut calories and fat from traditional holiday recipes.

Alcohol contains a lot of calories, so try substituting sparkling water for cocktails and wine.

• Scrutinize and set limits. Holiday buffets and dining tables are filled with good things to eat – many of which are specially prepared, once-a-year treats. Take a close look at the offerings and limit yourself to just your favorite foods. This way, you can enjoy seasonal favorites without ruining your diet or healthy eating plan.

• Exercise regularly. Most people gain two to five pounds between Thanksgiving and Jan. 1. Colder weather and busy holiday schedules can make regular exercise more challenging. Look for creative ways to get some exercise during the holidays – bundle up and take a short walk after dinner or spend a few extra minutes walking laps in the mall after holiday shopping.

Thanksgiving is synonymous with family, football and home-cooked meals. It also signals the beginning of the holiday nutrition season – a time when people tend to overeat and struggle to maintain healthy eating habits. With a little planning, however, you can enjoy some of your favorite holiday foods while managing your weight.

• Eat a small meal or snack before the festivities. You’ll be less likely to overindulge at holiday dinners and parties if you aren’t really hungry when you arrive. Meals and snacks with protein will help stave off hunger.

• Monitor portion sizes. The best way to avoid overeating is to limit the size of your portions. Fill your plate with just one small spoonful of the items you want. Use a side or appetizer plate, if available, instead of a dinner plate.

• Make the best food choices. Eat the smallest portions of foods that are high in fat and calories and fill the majority of your plate with more nutritious, low-fat foods, such as turkey breast and vegetables.

• Consider substitutes. As you’re preparing meals and food for seasonal gatherings, use alternative ingredients as much as pos-

The Real Alcázar (royal palace) in Seville, Spain, is the oldest European palace still being used. Important parts of what is Travel now a UNESCO World Heritage site were built by a 14th-century Christian king who admired Islamic architecture and became known for his brutal rejection of anti-Semitism.

When Christian forces of the Reconquista recaptured Seville in 1248, they took as their palace an Islamic fortress along the Guadalquivir River. In 1364, Peter I, King of Castile and León, began building a new palace on the site. Peter called upon the Muslim architects and builders who had recently created the palace at the Alhambra in Granada, then still under Islamic control. The design style used in Peter’s palace, incorporating richly carved walls, pointed arches and other traditional Islamic details, came to be known as Mudéjar and was popular throughout southern Spain. Writings on palace walls praised both God and Allah.

The best-known quarter of Peter’s palace is the Courtyard of the Maidens. Its name reportedly suggested a false rumor, fueling the Reconquista, that Muslim rulers of Iberia demanded 100 virgins each year from the Christian cities under

their control. A narrow reflecting pool in the center of the courtyard was flanked by sunken gardens, evoking Islamic images of the gardens of paradise. The same theme was later used in the reflecting pool of the Taj Mahal. Scalloped arches supported on columns surrounded the open courtyard, another defining characteristic of Mudéjar style.

Peter I’s rivals called him “Peter the Cruel” for executing leaders of an anti-Jewish riot. He was beheaded in 1369 by his half-brother Henry, who derided him as “King of the Jews” for opposing persecution of Spanish Jews.

King Peter’s successors added buildings and gardens to the Real Alcázar. The second floor of Peter’s palace is used by the Spanish royal family when in Seville. The Courtyard of the Maidens, its reflecting pool covered, masquerades as the twelfth century palace of the King of Jerusalem in the movie “The Kingdom of Heaven.” And history now regards Peter I as “Peter the Just” for repudiating, albeit cruelly, religious bigotry.

Luxury tubs add beauty, style to bathroom

Commentary by David Decker

For homeowners looking to relax and unwind after a hard day, there’s nothing more soothing than taking a soak in a luxuriindoors ous bathtub. And with all of the different styles available on the market today, bathtubs can add beauty and style to your bathroom as well.

Alcove Alcove tubs are the most common type of design found in homes today. They are designed to maximize space, because they fit in a threewalled enclosure. Generally, alcove bathtubs are paired with a shower combination, making it a practical option for smaller bathrooms.

Drop-in These tubs feature only the shell of the bathtub, which is then fitted inside a framed enclosure. The enclosure is then finished to match bathroom cabinets or tile, making the tub enhance your bathroom design. While these tubs can be a bit more expensive, drop-in tubs could be a creative way to break out of the traditional alcove model.

Corner Corner tubs are crafted with a large, square design that takes up a corner of the bathroom.

Corner tubs are not as practical as other tubs designs, as they tend to take up lots of bathroom floor space, and require quite a bit of water to fill up the tub. But they can fit more than one

bather at a time, and often come with many addon’s such as bubble jets.

Freestanding These tubs are growing in popularity because of their elegant and airy look. Freestanding tubs do not use a casing around the tub, which makes the bathroom look overall less crowded.

They can free up space to create a luxurious modern shower. They are typically the most expensive option.

Walk in Tubs/Aging in Place Friendly Designs Some tubs have been specially crafted with the Americans with Disabilities Act in mind, which is intended to make tubs safer for everyone. Walk-in tubs are specially designed for people who have limited mobility. These tubs also include non-slip floor surfaces and wide edges.

Massaging Tubs If you are looking for a relaxing bathtub, you may want to consider a bubble massage tub. Unlike traditional whirlpool bathtubs, the massaging aspect for these tubs comes from air bubbles that pass through tiny holes in the tub. Whirlpool jet lines can trap water and mold, which is why I recommend bubble massage tubs instead. Some massage tubs also incorporate multi-speed settings so that you can adjust the bubbles to your liking. And there are even models featuring heaters, which will warm the water as it circulates.

Add Ons The best part about visiting a spa is the pampering, and being pampered is all about the details. You can install underwater LED lights that will change color to suit your mood. Changing the water’s color can be a soothing, entertaining way to unwind. Designers have even created speaker panels that can be attached to the tub to send sound through the water.

I hope you take the time to relax and unwind once in a while. Get creative and discover ways to incorporate a little indulgence in your everyday life.
