Why should you care about war in Iraq?

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

For Dustin Long, 32, of Carmel, every time a headline is printed about Iraq, he cringes.

“People don’t really understand what’s going on,” Long said. “And maybe they never will.” world Long is a Zionsville native, who graduated from Zionsville Community High School in 2000 and immediately entered the U.S. Marine Corps After eight years of active duty and three years in the reserves, Long now is retired.

“I had really good moments in war and really bad moments in war,” Long said. “But it was time for me to get out. Politics were getting too involved in combat and you can’t have politics in combat.”

Long was last deployed to Iraq in 2004, when he travelled to some of the nations most hostile cities, Fallujah, Baghdad, Mosul and Ramadi.

It was here that he saw firsthand just how needy Iraqis are for a strong military and government.

“Saddam was an (expletive deleted), but he did one thing right about leading the country,” Long said.

“Iraqis need someone strong.”

But that doesn’t mean Long thinks the U.S. should Zionsville native Dustin Long holds a gernade during active duty with the Marine Corp. “We should absolutely not go back intervene now.

DVD review – Like its 2007 predecessor, “300: Rise of an Empire” is lusty parade of six-pack abs and copious bloodlettings, set against a historical backdrop that’s been washed through the spin cycle of modern fantasy tropes. It has all the violence of the last movie, though no equally compelling figure like Gerard Butler’s commanding Leonidas, and certainly none of the verve and wit.

Garden Classics

Last week the SullivanMunce Cultural Center and Patrick Henry Sullivan Museum along with the Zionsville Welcome Center hosted the Garden Classics party. The theme for Garden Classics was old Cuba, with Indianapolis-based artist Rad Drew exhibiting his photographs from a recent trip to the communist-led country. “[Cuba] is a very colorful place but they really have no infrastructure,” Drew said. Cocktails and Cuban-inspired foods were served while a live band performed and classic cars were on display.

RDC amends Hat World plan

By Sophie Pappas sophie@youarecurrent.com At last week’s special meeting of the Zionsville Redevelopment Commission, the group discussed development amendments to the Hat World purchase agreement, which was finalized between the town and Hat World, LLC last week.

This comes after the Zionsville Plan Commission approved plans for Hat World in February.

Hat World is expected to spend more than $21 million in the construction of a new corporate center. It will be a 150,000 square-foot facility at Creekside Corp.

Park.

“This purchase agreement was the one dated Jan.11, 2014,” said RDC president Luke Phenicie. “This one already expired.”

The group approved a motion that will allow Phenicie and Commissioner Bradley Johnson to legally make minor changes and sign the purchase agreement.

“You guys have been working very hard on this, so thank you,” said Commissioner Katie Culp.

The next RDC meeting is at 6:30 p.m., June 23 in the Community Room of Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St.

Hat World is expected to spend more than $21 million in the construction of a new corporate center. (File Photo) What does the amended purchase agreement say?

• The first purchase agreement between Hat World and the town was automatically terminated for failure to close in a timely manner.

• The purchase agreement was reinstated and closed on June 19.

• There is a contribution agreement between Hat World and the town, which states Hat World will pay $15,000 per year to the town.

• The town will assist Hat World in paying for unanticipated drainage costs. The total of this amount is $400,000.

• Hat World agrees that if the building project is not complete by Dec. 31, 2015, then the real estate and personal property tax abatements offered to Hat World may be cancelled or terminated.

Main Street store closing for good

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com

What may at first sound like another sad story about a shop on Main Street going out of business is actually great news for Brown’s on Main owner David Brown.

“It’s totally a good thing,” Business Brown said.

After more than 30 years in the retail business, Brown said it’s time for he and his wife, Kathy Scales Brown, to retire and travel. The store closed its doors officially June 21.

“I’ve been working seven days a week for many, many years,” Brown said. “I know customers will be disappointed to see it go but it’s all a

good thing.”

Brown said that his 5th Street antique shop will remain open, and that any merchandise leftover from the Main Street store will go there.

The building that houses Brown’s on Main was sold to Greek’s Pizzeria owner Mike Cole, who will expand his pizza franchise.

“The front half of the property will be a rental unit and the back half we are going to split between a party room and banquet room for Greek’s and more storage and kitchen space,” Cole said in an email to Current. “It was what my wife and I have wanted for awhile and a good investment in Zionsville.”

he sale of Sue’s home in Austin Oaks happened sooner than expected under Jennifer’s watch, but Sue & her son Scott were looking forward to the hunt for a new home, so they were prepared to act quickly.

Their demand list was reasonable: Zionsville or Carmel (close to their friends in Austin Oaks), sized to be a little easier for the two of them to maintain, and built with a finished basement. Scott was really excited about his “man cave” and Sue was happy to indulge.

The hunt commenced, the clock was ticking, but it did not take long for Jennifer to point her to the perfect property in Park Meadows at Spring Mill, with a fenced back yard, an awesome screened porch with hot tub area, AND a fully-finished basement. The sale in Austin Oaks went off without a hitch, and Sue got possession of the new house in plenty of time to get moved & trade the keys!

When you’re looking for the perfect ending to your own housing saga, trust Jennifer to write it for you!

Indy Backpack Attack is beginning its 16th annual school supply drive by collecting donated materials for underserved schoolcharity children in Indiana.

Zionsville residents and businesses have been busy stockpiling materials for donation since the Backpack Attack kicked off yesterday at the Indianapolis Zoo. Locally, the Boone Co. Rural Electric Membership Corp. has already donated $500, and the UPS Foundation has given $5,000.

“Our ultimate goal would be for every child to start school on the first day with the supplies they need,” co-chair of Indy Backpack Attack Tiffany Dial said. “We try to get as many supplies as we can. We want to ease the worry of parents who can’t afford them.”

Beginning in 1999 as a collaboration between businesses who recognized a strong need, the group collects everything from basic classroom supplies to personal-hygiene items for students who may not have easy access to them. Most of their donations come in a mix of supplies in bins and monetary donations through their website.

For big-ticket items like backpacks and scientific calculators that aren’t donated as frequently, bulk purchases are made using online funds.

“We have 120 to 140 businesses participating depending on the year. They’re real team-building exercises,” Dial said. “We’ve gotten a lot of sup-

port from the community. It’s important that they see it’s going to have a long-lasting impact.”

Dial said that many businesses will turn the collection into a fun competition. Indy Backpack Attack started a contest of their own where organizations can decorate their collection bins, as they’d noticed this taking place even without incentives.

“There’s nothing better than a kid happy about getting a new backpack. It shows the real excitement there is with education that you might not think is still there,” Dial said.

Skate park just for boarders

By Devynn Barnes • news@currentzionsville.com The Zionsville Parks and Recreation Dept. met last week for the first time this summer. At the top of their agenda for discusoutdoors sion was the Mulberry Fields skate park and the decision of whether or not to allow bicycles, which are prohibited. After a long discussion of safety and design concerns, the board decided the rules at the skate park will stay as written.

Board president Steve Bullington presented research he had done since the board last met and discussed the issue, which was brought forth by local patrons of the park. Bullington projected aerial photos of four other local skate parks on a screen, examining the differences between those that allow bikes and those which do not.

The parks that allow bikes, including the Asa Bales Park in Westfield, Dillion Park in Noblesville, and the Indy Cycloplex near Marian University, all had common distinctive features

such as large amounts of flat space and wider, hardened edges. The Carmel skate park, which does not allow bikes, was designed similarly to Zionsville’s and is more compact with less runoff space for bikers.

The decision came down to the fact that the Zionsville skate park was not designed for bikes, a fact that parks superintendent Matt Dickey said could lead to liability if the board were to approve the motion to allow them.

Bullington said the concern is that there would be “a lot going on in a relatively compact space,” inducing potential risk.

Attorney Roger Burrus also spoke of the dangers of allowing bikes because they were not considered in the park’s original design, which would mean “creating a new theory of liability.”

The risk for the bikers and the skate park was ultimately too high, and therefore the park will remain open to skateboarders only.

The board’s next meeting is at 7 p.m., July 9, in Zionsville Town Hall, 1100 W. Oak St.

How one Hoosier Village resident turned his passion for trains into a community attraction

By Sophie Pappas • sophie@youarecurrent.com Dr. David C. Vandersall received his first model train set as a gift from his parents when he was a first-grader in Green cover story Springs, Ohio. After that, the family set it under the Christmas tree every year.

“I was always fascinated with trains,” Vandersall said.

Now, as a resident of the Hoosier Village retirement community, Vandersall is sharing his love of trains with the public.

Studying trains and teeth

After graduating from dental school, serving in the U.S. Air Force, moving around the nation to teach periodontics at various colleges and universities, and operating his own periodontics practice on North Meridian Street in Indianapolis, Vandersall still is playing with trains.

“A lot of children go through a phase of loving trains and as they get older they start loving cars or something else in their teenage years, and the train just stays in the attic. But I always kept my trains, they always stuck with me,” he said.

By the time Vandersall and his wife Barb had three sons, the family’s trains were set up in the basement. “[The boys] were fascinated by them and we always had them at Christmastime,” he said.

Over the years his collection has grown as he shops for items at auctions and conventions. He is also a member of the Central Indiana Chapter of the Midwest Division of the Train Collectors Association.

In 2007, and one year before he closed his practice, Vandersall moved with his wife, Barb, to Hoosier Village. He brought with him a significant collection of model trains and accessories that soon found a home in the Residence Hall.

Vandersall’s collection is so large it doesn’t fit in one room. However, when Hoosier Village built Hawthorn Hall, the new three-story residential apartment building, a special train room off the front lobby was included in the plan. Though Hawthorn Hall opened last fall, the train room only recently opened. Setting up the display was no small task.

“It’s an operation,” Vandersall said.

And while he prefers to call his space the Hoosier Village Train Room, others in the community refer to it as visiting the Gum Line, which is a nod to Vandersall’s years spent studying and operating on patients gums and oral bones.

“The Gum Line nickname is really just for my email,” Vandersall said with a smile. “But people think it’s catchy.”

To finish the model train layout this year, a designer was hired, a train table built and lots of friends and family members stepped in to help. Hoosier Village residents Don MacPherson donated train artwork for the walls, and Earl Cotton crafted the model tugboat in the lake.

Vandersall’s son, Mark, helped him set up the

trains, and his wife positioned animals grazing in fields, skiers on the mountain, ice skaters, and more. Signs on the room’s windows thank more than 20 people for their assistance.

One item he says he’ll never part with is a 1930s-era diesel engine and cars. The sleek silver streamliner has always been his favorite.

“It’s a lifelong love,” Vandersall said.

In all seriousness, mammograms are important

FROM THE BACKSHOP The Hillary Show is well on its way Well, its deja vu all over again. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is out pushing her latest book (fiction or non-fiction, depending on which end of the political spectrum one resides) as she readies for another run for president. It’s going to be exhausting. All the old ghosts will rear their ugly heads including, but not limited to, Whitewater, Benghazi and Sandy Burger (You may remember him as “Sandy Burglar,” the former White House national security adviser under Bill Clinton, who pleaded guilty to removing and destroying copies of classified documents about the Clinton administration’s record on terrorism). We wonder what could have been in those documents that would have caused Burger to risk his career and reputation, such as it was, to destroy them. Let’s not forget about the tidy profit she made trading cattle futures. She claimed to have “studied the Wall Street Journal” to learn how to trade, but it eventually came out that she had a highly placed sourced inside Tyson Foods to, well, help her. And, of course, the vast “right-wing conspiracy” called Monica Lewinsky will surface. As we stated, exhausting. We’ll have to endure it all. Perhaps her timing is just about right. As President Barack Obama has shown, you don’t have to have any qualifications or experience to win the presidency, so she seems as good as in. However, as her somewhat-rocky first week touting her book has proven, maybe some are seeing through this empty pantsuit. Who knows? It will be interesting, albeit tiring, viewing. About the only thing that could rival this would be a reappearance of Republican Mitt Romney, who gave away a clear shot at the presidency after the first debate with Obama, obviously having just been discharged from the GOP-funded George H.W. Bush Institute for Spine Removal.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Life is filled with peril Commentary by Terry Anker “Smoking by pregnant women may result in fetal injury, premature birth, and low birth weight,” is a classic. Or maybe one has a preference, “Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide.” Direct and simple works too, “Smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and may complicate pregnancy.” Whichever of the U.S. Surgeon General warnings affixed to tobacco products that we find most compelling, few are missing the point – smoking is dangerous and must be treated as such. Now, we are labeling all kinds of products and activities as risky. Life, it seems, is filled with peril.

As my eldest son and his compadres have just embarked into the adult work – some heading to college and others to begin their first full-time job – they are being inundated with all kinds of new experiences. Some quickly become addicted to them. The pain is limited at first but, in time, these addictions will wreak havoc on them, their families and all of our communities. Inevitably, government will attempt to help the hapless and

our ship of state will be swamped by those who were prompted to addiction years earlier.

But this danger is almost secret. It is advocated by the government and those who we trust. The pushers come to our homes and to our schools. These dealers want us addicted to debt.

Young folks receive a bounty of offers to borrow! Loans, credit cards, deferred payments and advances all are promised as entitlements and deserved rewards. Why wait? Why spend within our means? Why earn it and then spend it?

Commercials clog our minds. “Free” government programs! Grab it now! How can anything be free? Somebody is paying. Should the loans be marked, “Borrowing can cause long-term regret and low life attainment;” or “Debt causes anxiety, stress and other related ailments.” Debt is dangerous and must be treated as such.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK “A bad attitude is merely a reflection of how you feel about yourself.”

- David Roppo

I just returned from my annual appointment with the mammogram machine, and I have to say, as I do every year, humor “blecht!” I know it’s an important, potentially life-saving procedure, and I understand that in the grand scheme of things, all the poking and pinching isn’t really that big of deal, but I still feel like curling up with a blanket and a hot mug of soup as if victimized.

And I don’t know why. My “handler” was actually very nice. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and fed me constant encouragement. She let me see the images as they appeared on the screen, and even congratulated me on my apparently svelte pectoral muscles. But there’s just something about having another human being contorting your half-exposed upper body around and into a cold, stainless and glass contraption that leaves you feeling like a piece of meat being prepped for the sausage maker. It’s breast Twister, with a definite, sadistic, twist.

And another thing that rather galled me, as if I haven’t already had to compensate enough for my rather small bosom, is that mammograms are more challenging for the lessendowed. Since there really isn’t that much to work with, you see, scooping and pulling every single ounce of tissue into place is imperative for a readable image. How many times did I hear “Nope, it’s not working. Let’s try again.”

But my gal was a perfectionist, so we pressed on with our game: “Left shoulder to blue, chin on yellow, right arm on green, stand on your tippy toes, just lean forward one bit to red, hold your breath and … Let me just change this position here … now try wrapping your hand around blue again….” Argh! Eventually, she did manage some lovely shots, if I do day so myself, but the ordeal left me a bit rattled. It didn’t help that she recommend Tylenol on my way out to help with what I can only assume will be soreness and perhaps bruising. Did you think I was kidding about the manhandling?

Again, I know I have no right to complain.

Several of my friends are breast cancer survivors (superheroes, every single one!), and they have certainly put these few short moments of mild discomfort into to perspective. But let’s be honest here people, men would never tolerate this “game” for one second if it were their boy parts being smooshed between the glass!

Twister? More like Chutes and Ladders. Ah well, until next year. Peace out.

Colombian Ballet to perform in Zionsville

By Joseph Knoop • joseph@currentincarmel.com The rich culture, music and dance of Colombia will be coming to Zionsville Performing Arts Center June 28 courtesy of the Colombian Folkloric Ballet of Houston. dance Eberto “Tiko” Amador, president and executive director of the ballet, said he hopes that the diversity of Colombia will radiate through the performance.

“There are good people, hardworking people, and we’re very proud of our culture and background,” Amador said.

Founded in 1983, the Colombian Folkloric Ballet’s mission statement includes the preservation and celebration of Colombian culture through education, folk dances and cultural programs year round.

The show “Mi Colombia” portrays the five major regions of Colombia through music and dance, including the Andes, Atlantic Coast, the Eastern Plains, the Pacific Coast and the Amazon rain forest.

Amador felt the need to promote a new image of Colombia because of its stereotypical portrayal as a land of drug dealers and negativity.

“We have the second generation of Colombians in the Houston area,” Amador said. “It’s something that I’m very proud of. The new generation is helping us maintain tradition and the culture.”

The ballet company provides lessons to both professional dancers and at-risk youth in the Houston area. Dancers for the ballet company are also regularly taken to performances of the Houston Ballet and Houston Theatre District Broadway musicals to enhance their training.

For more information call 770-3209.

“The love I have for my country, it’s in my veins,” said Sandra Villaquiran, who performs as a soloist dancer for the ballet company.

Villaquiran, who considers herself a first generation Colombian American, shares Amador’s sentiments about the need to portray the cultural variety of Colombia. Villaquiran participates in the children’s outreach programs, teaching kids about the country’s heritage and instructing them in dance.

“They’re just enamored by the makeup and dresses, and they’re learning,” Villaquiran said.

Many native Colombian children begin dance lessons in primary school, something Colombian

American youth rarely receive until they’re older, if at all.

And Villaquiran’s favorite portion of the show is the Amazonian dance, featuring fast and strong movements.

“I feel a huge connection with my audience,” Villaquiran said.

Greek’s to host local band

By Sophie Pappas sophie@youarecurrent.com In a family full of high achievers, Emma Petts, 19, of Zionsville, stands out as the folklorist. music While her sister, 14-year-old Sophia Joelle Petts, sings a variety of pop music and released her first single on iTunes this year, Emma is making a name for herself in other venues.

Emma, a Zionsville Community High School graduate, studies social work at Indiana University-Purdue University, instead of music.

“I didn’t want to make it seem like a job, because I love music,” Emma said.

However that hasn’t stopped her from pursuing dreams of stardom. Just this month she was in Cleveland to audition for The Voice, a nationally televised singing competition.

Also this summer, Emma and her boyfriend JD Hall, 19, are performing a series of shows locally. One venue is inside Greek’s Pizzeria on Main Street.

“We performed there last summer as well and really loved it,” Emma said.

Hall, who is also a ZCHS graduate, plays the guitar and sings while Emma does all lead vocals.

“We started performing together after he helped me with one song,” Emma said. “And now we really like doing it.”

Emma Petts, 19, and JD Hall, 19, of Zionsville, sing inside Greek’s Pizzeria, at 30 N. Main St., Zionsville.

See Emma and JD at Greek’s Pizzeria from 7 to 9 p.m., June 26, July 17 and July 31.

GHDT to present ‘Joan of Arc’

By Jessica Fox • jessica@currentincarmel.com

The Nickel Plate Arts Festival is in the Heart of Tipton

Saturday, June 28, 9 am – 5 pm 128 E. Madison Street In tents east of Tipton’s historic courthouse • Tipton Art Guild Art Show & Sales • Live Music by the Tipton Community Band • Presentations by the Tipton Community Theatre • Art Activities & Youth Art Exhibit at Tipton Public Library • Food including some of Tipton’s favorite pork dishes

The Gregory Hancock Dance theatre hopes to enlighten and inspire its audiences with its interpretation of the classic tale of “Joan dance of Arc” at the Tarkington Theatre on June 27 and 28.

It’s a dance performance – inspired by the ideal of the misunderstood, uncompromising heroine who remains true to her inner voice and vision.

Gregory Hancock said that “Joan of Arc” will feature a group of eight dancers that each represent her voices, her soldiers, her supporters, her accusers and her fire.

And along with the “Joan of Arc” performance the company will perform two other pieces.

“As a dancer of GHDT, I can’t wait for our audience members to see our upcoming concert.

With the beautifully epic piece, ‘Joan of Arc,’ the simplicity of ‘The Sari’ and the world premiere of ‘Until There Is No More…’ the concert conveys a mixture of strength and frailty,” said assistant director and dancer Melanie Eakman.

“The Sari” performance portrays the balance and coexistence of tradition and progress. It’s a performance that is more specifically about this coexistence in India.

“This is an audience favorite piece and is mesmerizing, poignant and beautiful,” Hancock said.

“Until There Is No More…” is a personal piece that was inspired by reoccurring themes in Hancock’s work.

“Joan of Arc” will feature dancers portraying the different aspects of the life of the classical French heroine. (Submitted photo)

“The concept of being caught somewhere between Heaven and Earth, the challenges in this life, the memories of where we came from and the constant search for answers of where we go after this human life. … I have chosen to present the piece in a way where audiences can create their own interpretation,” Hancock said.

Gregory Hancock’s “Joan of Arc” • The Tarkington Theatre at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel • 7 p.m. June 27 and 28 • Tickets start at $38.50 • For more information call 843-3800 or visit www.thecenterforperformingarts.org

There are two aspects to child custody. The first is legal. Legal custody refers to the ability to have input on medical, educational, and religious issues pertaining to a child’s upbringing. Joint legal custody is appropriate in most cases unless there is a significant breakdown in communication between the parties. Generally, as long as the parents are able to communicate and cooperate with one another on decisions involving the child(ren) without a high level of conflict, joint legal custody will be ordered and the parents are required to consult one another before making any of these “major decisions.”

The second aspect of custody is physical custody, which is much more often the subject of dispute. Simply stated, physical custody refers to where the children spend their time. As an initial matter, parents may create a unique schedule which satisfies the needs of their children and each other. Often, however, developing a parenting time schedule can be very challenging. When parties are unable to agree, the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines provide a parenting time schedule that gradually increases as the children age, provides for a division of holidays, and time with the children should one parent live a significant distance from the children’s primary residence. It should be noted, though, that the Guidelines represent a minimum amount of reasonable parenting time to be afforded to the non-custodial parent. Many Indiana Courts commonly award an involved, non-custodial parent parenting time in excess of the schedule provided in the Guidelines.

People often feel the need to “have their day in court,” believing that if the judge hears “their side of the story” the custody order will be in their favor. However, in evaluating whether to ask a judge to make a ruling on custody and parenting time, the parties would be well advised to keep in mind that time in court is limited, and it is difficult to present all of the information believed to be important. A judge often only has fifteen-thirty (15-30) minutes to hear evidence. This is not to say that such conflicts which arise should not be litigated. However, once you proceed to court, the final decision is out of your hands.

If parties are unable to reach an agreement, Indiana Courts will focus on the “best interest of the children” and in doing so will consider a number of factors in determining an appropriate custodial and parenting time arrangement. These factors include, but are not limited to, which parent has served as the primary caregiver; the child’s age and sex; the wishes of the child and the parties; the child’s relationship with each parent, siblings, and others; the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community; and the mental and physical health of all involved.

There are a number of benefits to reaching an out-of-court agreement, including but not limited to, allowance for non-traditional work schedules and flexibility for holidays. When parties are able to communicate and cooperate on these matters, it is a win-win for all involved.

In Boone County, prices were up 9.2 percent reaching $276,054.

• The average sale price continues to climb in Zionsville. For the first five months of this year, homes sold for $376,292 on average – an increase of 9.2 percent compared to 2013.

• Of the home sales in Zionsville last month, two were priced $1 million to $2 million; 10 were priced $500,000 to $1 million; 20 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 14 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; and six were priced $100,000 to $199,999.

Retirees suffer as 401(k) rollover boom enriches brokers - Former employees shifted $321 billion from 401(k)-style plans to individual retirement accounts in 2012, up about 60 percent in a decade, according to Cerulli Associates, a Boston-based research firm. As a result, IRAs hold $6.5 trillion, more than the $5.9 trillion in 401(k)-style accounts. A three-month Bloomberg investigation found that former employees at major companies have complained that sales representatives lured them into rolling over their 401(k) nest eggs into unsuitable IRA investments. While retirees can generally leave their savings in 401(k) plans, financial firms entice them with cold calls, Internet ads, storefront signs and cash incentives to switch to IRAs. They tout the advantage of the IRA’s wide variety of investment choices over the typical 401(k) plan’s limited menu. Yet that appeal can also be a pitfall for retirees offered expensive and high-risk investments. IRAs often charge higher fees than those associated with 401(k) plans, giving brokers an incentive to promote rollovers. “You’re going into the wild, wild west when you take your money out of a 401(k) and put it into an IRA,” said Karen Friedman, executive vice president and policy director of the Pension Rights Center, a Washington-based group representing retirees.

Many people have heard of rehabilitation or physical therapy, and many may know that some hospitals offer a wide array of Wellness rehabilitation services for men, women and children. Still, few fully understand the wide array of services that rehabilitation services cover. In fact, some therapies are rarely discussed.

There are many therapy services offered for pelvic pain (in both men and women), but you rarely hear people talk about the men’s therapies and pelvic pain.

Typically, people see or hear about women’s pelvic health issues, such as incontinence after childbirth or surgeries, or tailbone pain. Men also suffer from pelvic health issues and will usually see multiple doctors before going through physical therapy. We find that for many patients, going through physical therapy first will better prepare the body for surgery, or sometimes help them avoid surgery all together.

Spring and summer tend to be the times of year that we see more pelvic health issues in both men and women. This could be as a result of the fact that with warm weather in the Midwest comes more bike riding – we see many avid

bike riders among our male patients - and more time playing outdoors and at the pool chasing kids around, which causes leaking and other pelvic issues in women.

Some rehabilitation services offered for pelvic health issues include exams, exercises, and manual techniques to help with the pain. At IU Health North Hospital, for instance, computer-assisted exercise is deployed when applicable, and it lets patients see how their muscles are reacting to exercises. For many patients, visuals help with the exercises.

Lymphedema therapies help to work through scar tissue or swelling that is often associated with cancer and removal of lymph nodes.

Therapies for craniosacral issues assist patients who have complaints of headaches, chronic pain, TMJ, and fibromyalgia. Problems can be acute or chronic, and therapies typically involve gentle hands-on techniques. Even better, all of these types of therapies are outpatient therapies, which don’t require hospital stays.

Andrea McMath, physical therapist at IU Health North Hospital, is a certified lymphedema therapist and is trained in techniques for craniosacral therapy and pelvic health. For more information, call 688-2021.

Exercise – Exercise can help you get a good night’s sleep, especially if you’re older. In a small study in Sleep Medicine, researchers found that people (55 years or older) with chronic insomnia who started doing aerobic activities reported significantly better sleep, mood, and vitality after four months than those who did non-exercise activities.

Crac des Chevaliers near Homs, Syria. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Syria’s castle of the knights Commentary by Don Knebel

Syria’s Crac des Chevaliers is the best preserved Crusader castle in the world. Its fortifications foiled one of the most travel capable military leaders in history and have thus far survived the current war in Syria.

Crac des Chevaliers is located atop a volcanic mound along a pass between the port city of Tripoli, Lebanon, and Homs, Syria. The first fortress on the site was built by the Kurds in about 1031 to protect Homs from a sea-borne attack.

That fortress was captured in 1110 during the First Crusade and then anchored Tripoli County, a Crusader State. In about 1142, the Count of Tripoli donated the castle to the Knights Hospitaller, a Christian order that arose to assist pilgrims in the Holy Land and evolved into a fighting force to retain the lands taken during the Crusades.

The Hospitallers converted the original Kurdish fortress into the most elaborate of their many castles in the Middle East, calling it “Crac de l’Ospital.” The central living and administrative buildings, including a large chapel, were separated from a massive outer wall by a wide moat.

Areas for storing grain, olive oil and water were designed to enable a garrison of 2,000 soldiers

and their horses to withstand a five-year siege.

Visiting Crusaders returned to Europe with novel ideas for their own castles.

By 1187, Saladin, the great Muslim ruler, had retaken most of the lands occupied by the Crusaders, including Jerusalem. He then turned his attention to recapturing the territory controlled by the Knights Hospitaller from their base at Crac des Chevaliers. After viewing what he considered the castle’s impregnable fortifications, Saladin did not even attempt an attack. The castle finally fell to Baybars, a Mamluk Sultan, in 1271 after a siege that reportedly ended with a forged directive telling the Hospitallers to surrender. The conquerors turned the castle’s chapel into a mosque.

Crac des Chevaliers, near the contested city of Homs, has been shelled by both sides in Syria’s civil war. The castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has sustained damage but remains largely intact, a tribute to the Knights who designed and built it.

Steak salad with cherry tomato and blue cheese

One of the greatest joys of the summer besides the warm, lazy and longer days is to be able to turn your stove off and cook “alfresco!” Everything tastes fantastic outside! This easy, fast and flavorful salad makes a great mid-week dinner.

Note: Sea salt added to meat a few hours before grilling turns steaks into flavorful and juice creations. This is an old trick that has its foundations in basic science. Salt draws excess water from the meat. Pad-dry the meat after a couple of hours of exposure to salt. Some salt makes its way to the interior of the meat acting as a tenderizer and seasoning ingredient. And one more thing, never cut the meat as soon as it comes off the grill. Let it rest and relax to allow the juices to stay inside.

STEAK SALAD WITH CHERRY TOMATO AND BLUE CHEESE Prep time: 25 minutes / Serves: 4 Ingredients: 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard, 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon

Simple grilled steak can be extra juicy if it is left to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. (Photo by Ceci Martinez)

balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of coarse sea salt, 1 pound skirt steak, cut into 3 pieces, 5 ounces arugula, 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved, 2 green onions, chopped, 3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Directions: Add sea salt to both sides of steak and allow to sit for at least one hour. Pad dry with paper towel. Mix mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add sauce to steak, tossing to coat

well and marinate for at least one hour. Heat a grill to high (450 to 550 degrees). Grill steak, turning once halfway through, until done the way you like, 6 to eight minutes for medium. Let it rest, covered with foil for 10 minutes before slicing. Put remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss gently to combine. Divide salad among four plates and serve steak over salad.

Converting screen porch into sunroom adds living space Commentary by Larry Greene EXISTING SCREENED PORCH: The owners of this home in the Lincolnshire addition on the west side of Carmel blueprint for quickly ran out of space improvement as their family grew.

“The bigger our family grew the less room we had for seating. It always felt too crowded and dysfunctional.” So they set out to expand their kitchen by expanding into the adjacent screened-in-porch. Creating a cozy seating area just off the kitchen was the main goal of the project.

SALVAGING ROOF: Salvaging only the existing roof structure and windows, the existing siding, screens and interior wall between the kitchen and sunroom were removed. To support the cathedral ceiling, new structural beams were installed. After the completion of the structural prep work, framing was installed and the masonry for the fireplace and brick base was completed. To ensure the room stays warm during the colder months, fiberglass batt insulation was added to the ceiling, walls and floor.

EXTERIOR FINISH: Matching cedar siding was added to the walls of the sunroom and painted “Soft Yellow” to match the rest of the house.

The three salvaged windows and three additional matching windows were placed around the perimeter of the room giving the space an abundant amount of natural light. Matching trim

before & after

FINAL RESULT: What was originally an underutilized screened porch is now a cozy dream space creating a better flow for the kitchen and surrounding rooms. “We couldn’t be any happier with our new sunroom addition. Of the entire space, we love the coffered ceiling the most. It really adds so much character and definition to the room.”

completed the exterior finish – making it appear as if the sunroom was originally built with the house.

INTERIOR FINISH: An extensive amount of trim work was incorporated into the design of the fireplace and interior walls. Adding coffered ceilings added an upgraded look while also adding architectural interest. The entire room was painted “Delicate White” and finished with oak hardwood floors which match up perfectly with the existing kitchen flooring.
