Family Allergy and Asthma Welcomes Rajiv Arora, MD

to Lexington Office

Family Allergy and Asthma is pleased to welcome Dr. Rajiv Arora. He will see pa-tients primarily in the Lexington office, located at 3292 Eagle View Lane, as well as in the Campbellsville and Corbin of-fices.

Dr. Arora joins the practice after an 11-year career with the U.S. Army. He most recently served as Chief of the Allergy/Immunology and Adult Immunization Clinics at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, TX.

Dr. Arora graduated from Johns Hopkins University and Temple University School of Medicine. He completed his Internal Medicine Residency at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, HI and his Allergy/Immunology Fellowship at Wil-ford Hall Medical Center, San Antonio, TX. In addition, Dr. Arora completed a Clinical Laboratory Immunology Fel-lowship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC. Dr. Arora is board certified in Allergy/Immunology and Internal Medicine.

He and his wife, Lesley, have two children and recently relocated to Lexington.

Firefighters ratify contract, lay-offs avoided

Lexington firefighters ratified a three-year contract with the city Sept. 22.

Mayor Jim Gray, who was actively in-volved in the contract negotiations, thanked union members for their will-ingness to help the financially strapped

city reduce costs in a way that does not compromise care for citizens, a goal of both the administration and the fire-fighters.

The contract, which will now be taken to the Urban County Council for review, includes an estimated $4.7 million in savings over the life of the contract.

Gray included more than $5 million in savings in public safety union contracts in his current year “Businessman’s Bud-get,” which council passed last June. Po-lice and Community Corrections con-tract negotiations are ongoing.

“First, I am thankful for the firefight-ers’ commitment to our citizens and our community’s well-being. Now firefight-ers have found a new way to come to their city’s rescue,” Gray said. “I appreci-ate their willingness to sacrifice for the common good. We are working to trans-form government by bringing financial responsibility to city hall and we appre-ciate the leadership of the firefighters in this important effort.”

“The Lexington Firefighters understand that these are not ordinary times,” said Lieutenant Chris Bartley, president of the International Association of Fire Fight-ers Local 526, in Lexington. “This Union understands the economic situation the country and this city currently face. We are willing to make this sacrifice for our citizens. In return, we expect the city to recognize and ensure that fire and EMS protection for this great city SHALL not be compromised.”

The contract includes both cost savings and investments to ensure top perfor-mance from firefighters.

Savings include:• The union agreed to a two-year wage freeze and other pay concessions. Fire-fighters will see a pay increase in the third year of the contract.• The union agreed to reduce city health insurance costs by $100 per firefighter per month for the first year of the agree-ment.• Reductions in vacation and holiday leave time, plus a reduction in holiday premium payments for two years.

Investments include:• A commitment not to lay off any fire-fighters, a step many other cities have had to take because of the recession. Gray said without the financial concessions made in the contract agreement, lay-offs of as many as 50 firefighters would have been inevitable.• Two paramedic training classes and ensured staffing for emergency medical vehicles.

The contract covers approximately 488 firefighters, lieutenants and captains. Voting on the agreement began Mon-day and concluded today. The contract was approved 308 to 99. While focusing on maintaining a high level of service to citizens, Gray’s cuts in the Businessman’s Budget reached beyond Public Safety to every corner of city hall.

Through the budget the Mayor and Council: • Assumed savings of $3.5 million on employee health insurance. • Laid off 15 full-time and one part-time employee in non-core areas for a savings of $919,657. • Abolished 215 unfilled or vacant posi-tions, which when combined with other cutbacks, reduced annual General Fund personnel costs by $11.8 million.• Suspended half of the Mayor’s personal salary.• 10-day furlough without pay for Com-missioners and Mayor’s senior staff• Took steps to overcome a $27 million shortfall.

As part of the budget process, Gray suc-

cessfully vetoed $889,612 in spending … the first successful veto of budget items in the history of merged govern-ment. The vetoes included $400,000 for construction of Frisbee golf courses, La-crosse fields and other capital projects.“The Businessman’s Budget was based on core principles I’ve learned in almost 40 years working in a family business,” Gray said. “It’s a budget based on paying down debt, not increasing it; and on starting to address unnecessary costs and activities. Our budget represented a roadmap to solvency by beginning to address out-of-control pensions and health-care costs.”

City rolls out new commingled recycling container program

for local businessesThe city’s Waste Management Division, in partnership with Bluegrass PRIDE, is rolling out a new recycling initiative that allows businesses with a cardboard col-lection container to combine additional recyclable materials such as paper, glass, plastic bottles and jugs, aluminum and steel cans, into that same container.

“We started the program because we have more and more businesses, schools and apartments complexes that have found using multiple Rosie carts was not suf-ficient for the amount of recycling ma-terial they were producing,” says Esther Moberly, Recycling Program Specialist in the city’s Division of Waste Manage-ment.

Using a commingled container is also more cost efficient because it takes less time to empty one large container rather than multiple blue Rosie carts. The com-mingled container is emptied by a front loader truck with a crew of one, the driver.

“It takes a truck with a crew of two or three to service a location using Rosie carts,” Moberly says. “The Rosier carts are emptied with a rear loader truck that can only empty two Rosies at a time. It takes about a minute per cycle. Servicing a business with 20 Rosies takes between 10 and 15 minutes and requires at least two staff members.”

The Hamburg Journal is happy to provide the following business-related news from our area:


To All Our Valued Customers, Readers & Friends,

The hazy, cloudless skies of Indian Summer. Leaves scurrying down the street before the wind. The cold shiver from an arctic blast. Indian Summer. The last warmth of the sun.

Dr. George Veloudis and Amy Claxon PA-C have relocated their well respected clinic to the Wom-

en’s Hospital at Saint Joseph East. The clinic provides comprehensive women’s and primary health care ser-vices. They specialize in Obstetrics and gynecology, pelvic and laser surgery, and advanced infertility care. More specific services are directed towards the evalu-ation and treatment of infertile couples. They have an andrology lab on-site. Known surgical services consist of laser therapy for endometriosis, minimally inva-sive procedures for abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding, bladder incontinence and the “band aide” hysterectomy.

Dr Veloudis is dual board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology. He is the only osteopathic physician practicing in Kentucky with both OB/GYN and Infertility board certifications. Dr Veloudis was fellowship trained in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, from the University of Kentucky. He has been an active vol-unteer community faculty member, helping with the

University’s physician assistant training program, for several years.

Amy Claxon PA-C is a certified physician’s as-sistant, specializing in Women’s Health Care. She always strives to take extra time with her patients, making health care more personal and individualized for her patients. Her scope of practice includes rou-tine prenatal and obstetrical care, women’s wellness and menopause, and general and adolescent gynecol-ogy. Amy’s patients are always commenting on what a wonderful person she is, she is an asset to the practice.

Dr Veloudis is well known for his success as an infer-tility physician, and has been in local practice since 1999. He has a very high success rate with IVF pa-tients obtaining pregnancy. He is currently construct-ing a new state of the art, IVF lab and infertility center that will open this fall. He has helped many couples build their families and has vast experience with such ailments as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, male factor infertility, fibroids, and re

current pregnancy loss, to name a few.

Many of the patients that become pregnant through this office choose to stay and continue their care through this specialized clinic. Some of the up to date medical services include 4-D ultrasounds by certi-fied sonograhers, fetal photography, women’s health dietician, and a patient advocate that works together with Dr Veloudis and Amy Claxon. It is the mission of Kentucky Fertility, Obstetrics and Gynecology to provide the best possible health care available in the area. This is why they are often referred to as the “Baby Team”.

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. Sometimes pain serves a positive purpose, as a warning to avoid more serious injury. Often, patients will feel much better after some conservative treatments offered by their primary care providers, including some medications as well as physical therapy. How-ever, when pain continues for a long period of time, changes occur in the way nerves function in the body. Hormonal changes also occur, and these neuroendocrine prob-lems cause patients to develop chronic pain. Neuropathic pain can develop, which is pain that is caused by nerve dysfunction and occurs even though there is no ongoing injury. Neu-ropathic pain is not protective and has no benefit to overall health. Therefore, if this pain is not improving after three months, it is time for a referral to a pain manage-ment specialist.

Chronic pain is a public health problem in our country. The Institute of Medicine reports that chronic pain costs

this country up to $635 billion per year, with about half of that in lost wages and productivity. An estimated 116 million

Americans have chronic pain; this affects twice as many persons as diabetes, coronary artery disease, and cancer combined. About 27% of adults re-port suffering from severe back pain, 15% report neck pain, and about 15% report severe headaches. Adults with low back pain are about three times more likely to be in fair or poor health, and four times more likely to experience major psycho-

logical distress.

The physicians at Advanced Pain Medicine believe that chronic pain is not only an important symptom but is also a serious disease in its own right. Untreat-ed pain leads to serious consequences, including long term effects on general physical health, difficulties in dealing with the stresses and demands of everyday life, and undue burdens on families and rela-tionships. Patients suffering from chronic pain need comprehensive treatment. Pa-

tients deserve to be seen soon after being referred; a long wait of weeks to months to see a specialist is not acceptable, because a lengthy wait can increase the complexity of the treatment plan. Earlier treatment can prevent the development of many kinds of pain.

Most painful conditions can be treated without the use of narcotics. While nar-cotic medications can be utilized to mask the symptom of pain, these types of medi-cations do not treat the painful condition. Over time, patients develop tolerance to these potent opiate medications and their effectiveness is reduced. Tolerance is a condition in which more and more medi-cation must be taken to achieve the same effect. Some people progress to develop addiction. As more narcotics are taken, side effects increase, and this can be very detrimental to overall health. There are many possible side effects, but common ones include fluid retention, swelling, constipation, sedation, poor concentra-tion, decreased immune system function, increased risk of infections, and sexual dysfunction. Current research clearly shows that after someone takes opioids for longer than a few weeks, there is an increased sensitivity to painful sensations. Because of this, narcotics actually increase

pain!

At Advanced Pain Medicine, we specialize in the use of injection therapies and interventional techniques to help reverse chronic pain from nerve dysfunc-tion. While we often use antineuropathic medications that interrupt pain pathways, most patients would rather manage their pain without taking medications on a daily basis. Several different types of treatments exist that can help to modify these harmful neuroendocrine changes in the body. Many of these procedures require the use of x-ray guidance for precise, targeted injections. We have the facilities and the expertise to provide these therapies on-site in our office. Of-ten, this vicious cycle of chronic pain can be broken with injection therapy.

Patient care is why we are here. Chronic pain treatment demands a patient-centered approach. The mind and body are so closely connected. Chronic pain causes anxiety and depression. We pay close attention to all these aspects in order to treat the entire person. Pain has many dimensions, and at Advanced Pain Medicine, we excel in developing a treatment plan tailored to our patients as individuals.

Chronic pain can be considered a serious disease

Meaningful use to help the communityHave you ever wondered why your

doctor is using a computer to gather and store your health information? Besides going green, the elec-tronic medical record helps providers keep a more accurate, up-to-date record of your visits. This is why the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services developed meaningful use guidelines for physicians to follow. Advanced Pain Medicine, PSC and its entire staff have embraced meaningful use and are proud that we are the first pain management practice in the United States to successfully meet the criteria required to be consider meaningful us-ers of the electronic medical record.

One of the criteria to become a

meaningful user is to provide patients with a clinical summary. The benefit from providing clinical summaries to the

patient was one the most rewarding experiences in becoming a meaning-ful user. Oftentimes it is easy to forget items discussed during a visit to a physician’s office. With clinical summa-ries offered to patients at every visit they can take the most important information home for themselves, their family, and other physicians. Clinical summaries allow patients to become more

involved in their care by being more informed of the information collected and given. There were many instances in which patients are able to go through their health information and they are

able to confirm or change this informa-tion.

Another criteria of meaningful use is for practitioners to send prescriptions to your pharmacy electronically, which is called e-prescription. This is a useful tool because all of the medications prescribed electronically are checked against the medications that you currently take, as well as any medication allergies you may have. Once the prescription is put into the record if there is any allergy or if the med-ication will counteract with any medica-tions you are currently taking it will alert the practitioner. These checks are a prime factor in preventing adverse effects on the patients when administering and provid-ing medications. This will help prevent suffering from drug interactions.

In order to help physicians have better communication with their fellow physi-cians regarding mutual patients. Re-

quirements such as referral summaries upon transition to, or referral to, another physician help to ensure that important patient information is securely trans-ferred to the physician’s office. Interfaces such as the Kentucky Health Informa-tion Exchange will help physicians in Kentucky receive accurate, up-to-date pertinent medical records on all patients who have physicians with electronic medical record systems. These records are securely transferred without violating patient privacy.

During the process of becoming quali-fied as “Meaningful Users” (MU) of our electronic medical record system the staff at Advanced Pain Medicine, PSC realized how important the new criteria were for the community. Although the journey to meaningful use requires some adjust-ment for both practitioners and patients the outcome is better for everyone in the community.

An editorial by Stu Silberman, executive director for the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, September 22, 2011

Kentucky has made great strides in education over the past 20 years. This progress is the result of a tremendous amount of hard work by teachers, students, parents, ad-vocates, policymakers, administrators and countless other citizens committed to building a better future. It is important that we recognize and celebrate this work and the difference it has made – moving Kentucky from 49th to 33rd among the states in one recognized index that combines national education rankings.

An especially exciting set of data comes from the sci-ence scores on the 2009 National Assessment of Educa-tional Progress – often called the nation’s report card. Kentucky’s fourth-graders ranked 4th among the 46 participating states, and our eighth-graders ranked 15th. Results like that tell us that we have cause for pride in past work even as we realize there is plenty more to be done.

The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan group of volunteers who have worked since 1983 to improve education, has

been at the forefront of this work, a position the com-mittee plans to maintain as it enters the next phase of ad-vocacy and citizen engagement on behalf of Kentucky’s schools. The committee’s goal of Kentucky being in the nation’s top 20 states by 2020 is an ambitious one (Link: http://www.prichardcommittee.org/wp-content/TOP_20.pdf), and it is good to know that we are mov-ing in the right direction in some areas. But we continue to come up short in others, and we must acknowledge that we have a long way to go before we see high levels of achievement for all of our students.

It is our intent to continue monitoring Kentucky’s prog-ress closely, to keep Kentuckians updated on successes and continuing challenges, and to point out areas where we believe change is needed. We also think it is impor-tant to acknowledge and shed light on the escalating debate about education and what really is best for the future of kids in Kentucky and America. The bottom line is whether we are preparing our children to succeed in their communities, the state and the world. Knowing whether this is actually happening is critical. So is tak-ing the right steps to make sure it does.

But anyone who follows the discussions about educa-tion reform or reads any education article or publication

knows there is a growing intensity across the country about education policy and practice. Many experts are far apart in their thinking, at best, or diametrically op-posed to each other’s proposals, at worst. Understand-ably, when it comes to our children, we all are very pas-sionate about what we believe is best for them. The purpose of this writing is to put some of these is-sues on the table in a broad way, and we’ll follow up with more detailed reviews of each of these issues in the weeks and months ahead. The goal is to keep Kentuck-ians up to date as the education agenda for the state and nation is established and programs are put in place. The Prichard Committee’s blog also is a good resource for anyone wanting to know more.

Below is a brief description of the issues and topics that are the focus of current debates in education with more questions in each area on our blog. (Link: http://prich-blog.blogspot.com)

Student Achievement: It is 2011 and we still have sig-nificant achievement gaps. How do we address this is-sue? For example, will high quality pre-school for all students eliminate these gaps in the future?

Improving education: What is the right approach?


Is your first step of the day the worst step? Are you dreading every step, walking on your tip toes? If you’ve

been off your feet for awhile, does this process start all over again once you start walking? These are classic symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis (pronounced plan-tar fash-ee-eye-tis), a common cause of heel and foot pain in adults.

Primarily, plantar fasciitis is caused by progressive flattening of the arches over time. Other common contributors to this condition include lack of flexibility in the calf muscles, change in activity levels, overuse and weight gain. When your arch drops, the plantar fascia begins to tear away from its origin at your heel. When this happens over a long period of time, it can overcome the body’s ability to repair itself. If left alone, plantar fasciitis may take 6 to 18 months to heal. This can be frustrating, interfering with your ability to work and perform other activities, and the problem may return.What can you do? Follow these 3 simple steps toward heel pain relief.

1. Decrease the Inflammation• Ice Massage Your Arch – Place a water bottle in the freezer and when frozen, place it on the floor and roll your foot over the water bottle for 5-10 minutes. Then mas-sage the painful area with 2 fingers for 5 minutes. Repeat sequence for a total of 20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. You can also use

an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables. Icing is most effective the first few weeks after the condition begins and when the heel is inflamed and tender.• Take Anti-Inflammatory Medications – Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medi-cations (NSAIDs) will help decrease the inflammation which results from the tear-ing of the plantar fascia. Even if the anti-inflammatory medications reduce the pain, they are not a cure for the condition. Please discuss your situation with your doctor or podiatrist.

2. Stretch and Exercise• Perform Achilles Stretch, Calf Raise and Toe Scrunch Excercises• Use a Night Splint – A night splint is designed to stretch the plantar fascia while you sleep. The splint holds the ankle at 90 degrees and pulls the toes back, stretch-ing the plantar fascia. There are rigid night splints and soft night splints, such as Thermoskin Plantar FXT, which can be used for a few hours in the evening or at night while you sleep.

3. Prevent Future Occurrence• Wear Orthotics – Orthotics are not soft insoles, they are semi-rigid devices which fit into a pair of shoes to control abnormal foot motion. A custom molded, full-contact orthotic is most effective by evenly distrib-uting your body weight throughout the foot and significantly reducing the daily pull on the plantar fascia.

• Test Your Shoes – Perform 3 basic tests to evaluate a shoe that will be biome-chanically effective as well as comfortable. First, check that the heel counter is rigid. Secondly, check that the shoe has a firm resistance to torque when the heel and toe are twisted in opposite directions. Lastly, check that the end third of the shoe (near-est the toes) flexes easily while the middle third resists flexion. Shoes that meet these guidelines, like Aetrex and Brooks, can minimize negative compensations in the feet, knees, hips and lower back.• Avoid Walking Barefoot – Don’t walk without shoes, even in the house. Find a pair of supportive shoes or sandals, such as Orthaheel, that can be worn while in the house. Walking on hardwood, tile or linoleum floors can irritate the problem and exacerbate symptoms.

If your heel pain persists, always schedule an appointment with a podiatrist for evalua-tion to avoid complications in treatment.

Autumn in the Bluegrass

There is a noticeable change in the air; the temperatures are dropping, the foliage is changing color, students have made their way back to classes, and football has returned. Yes, it’s au-tumn in the Bluegrass.

The arrival of autumn brings with it new challenges for the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government – challenges that I am happy to be taking on as the 7th District Coun-cilmember.

After returning from the summer recess, the Urban County Council shook up the committee assignments resulting in many new faces on the various standing committees.

I am happy to be currently serving on four committees: Environmental Quality, General Government, So-cial Services, and Public Safety. Hav-ing previously served on the General Government and Public Safety com-mittees, I feel that I can continue my efforts to make our government more efficient and our neighborhoods safer.

As a newcomer to the Environmen-tal Quality and Social Services com-mittees, I look forward to bringing a fresh perspective to the issues we will be presented with. The amount of work that goes into serving on each committee will be substantial, but necessary as I work with my col-leagues on the Council to better serve the citizens of Lexington.

I am pleased to report that along with several other council members, I have submitted a list of streets in my dis-trict that are in need of repaving, and you should begin seeing improve-ments soon.

Many of our streets are in need of repair and with the winter loom-ing, the nuisance of potholes again becomes a reality. I encourage you to report potholes to LexCall 311 whenever you encounter them. The sooner you report them, the sooner we can fix them and avoid damage to cars and tires.

I wish everyone a happy and pleasant autumn season, and encourage you to get out into the community and enjoy the many different events of the sea-son.

From UK football games to haunted trails, there is no shortage of activi-ties in Lexington over the upcoming weeks and months. Visit our website to keep abreast of events happening around the city. As always, I urge you to keep my office informed of any is-sues in your neighborhoods that we can resolve. You may contact me or my staff at (859) 258-3214 or [email protected]. I look forward to continuing to serve you.

Central Baptist Hospital has been named one of the nation’s top performers on key quality measures by The Joint Com-mission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. The hos-pital is being recognized for outstanding evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for certain conditions, including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, and surgical care. Central Baptist is the only hospital in Kentucky recognized in all four catego-ries, and is one of only 405 U.S. hospitals earning the distinction. No other Lex-ington hospital was recognized in any category. This achievement is based on perfor-mance data reported to The Joint Com-mission during the previous calendar year. As a top performing hospital, Cen-tral Baptist earned 95% or above on all performance targets. “Today, the public expects transparency in the reporting of performance at the hospitals where they receive care, and

The Joint Commission is shining a light on the top performing hospitals, such as Central Baptist, that have achieved ex-cellence on a number of vital measures of quality of care,” says Mark R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P, M.P.H., president, The Joint Commission. “We understand that what matters most to patients at Central Baptist is safe, ef-fective care,” said William G. Sisson, president and CEO of Central Baptist Hospital. “That’s why we have made a commitment to accreditation and to positive patient outcomes through ev-idence-based care processes. Central Baptist Hospital is proud to be named to the list of The Joint Commission’s Top Performers on Key Quality Mea-sures.” In addition to being included in The Joint Commission’s “Improving Amer-ica’s Hospitals” annual report, available at www.jointcommission.org, Central Baptist Hospital will be recognized on The Joint Commission’s Quality Check Web site, www.qualitycheck.org.

Central Baptist named top quality performer in U.S.



Crosstown Kids is an educational TV show created to help the public, both adults and kids, understand basic science principles

and how they’re used in the real world. The show features three kids visiting and getting tours of institutions throughout Central Kentucky.

The show airs on Fayette County Public Schools cable access channel, Insight cable channel 13 in Fayette County, Kentucky. See www.crosstownkids.org for air times.

The show is produced by Lexington nonprofit The unClassroom.org (see www.theunclassroom.org).

The unClassroom.org was created to promote the understanding of basic science among both adults and kids through a variety of charitable activities. It is operated primarily by Scott Heydinger, who

serves as the director, writer, editor and producer of the show.

Rather than the tradional interview or industrial tour TV show formats, “Crosstown Kids” epi-sodes typically portray the children visiting the business on their own accord to seek help with a project they’re working on. Instead of forcing the content on viewers without motivation, episodes are designed to parallel the natural curiosities and thought processes of ordinary play.

Beyond the show, the organization further pro-motes science literacy by offering professional de-velopment to Kentucky science teachers, present-ing at the Kentucky Science Teachers Association annual conference, providing educational content on the websites and making public and classroom appearances.

Crosstown Kids part of the ‘UN’ Classroom

The production relies heavily on volunteers, including both adults and kids. Even the kids’ parents are involved, serving as the camera operators and production crew.

Kids in grades 3-8 who would like to appear on camera need to write the show via the website as to why they’d like to participate, and have their parents fill out and sign an application form. Nonprofits, organizations, schools, businesses and others with some-thing unique to offer are especially encour-aged to contact Crosstown Kids.

How can you participate in the show?

Education editorial: Continued from page 12Curriculum and Standards: What should we be teaching our kids? Forty-four states have adopted what are called the Common Core standards. Should there be a consistent set of standards that guide teaching and learning?

Accountability and Testing: How much should we be testing students? Should standardized testing be used for account-ability? How do we measure student progress? Are teachers teaching to the test, and is that good or bad?

Teachers: How should teachers be eval-uated? Are salaries and benefits too low or too high? Should teacher pay be linked to student performance? Is tenure good or bad?

Factors Outside the Classroom: How do we address problems we have in our so-ciety, like poverty, to ensure all students receive a high quality education? How important is the role of the parent/guard-ian and what should that look like? Are extra-curricular activities important?

School Choice: Charters, vouchers, pri-vate schools, magnet schools, home schools, digital schools, schools of in-novation.....Does having choice make a difference?

Funding: Are the current levels of funding for our schools adequate? Is Kentucky’s funding formula equitable? Is it time to mobilize citizens around this issue?

Governance/Leadership: Do we need site based councils, boards of education, state departments of education, or are there other governance structures that would work better?

We will address each of these issues in more detail, starting with student achievement, in the weeks and months ahead. Meanwhile, we must celebrate our progress but do it as we continue to speak out as strong advocates with high expectations for our kids, our schools and our future. Time is of the essence. To paraphrase an infamous general: we must stop looking at our calendars and start looking at our watches!

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) refers to

a disorder that involves abdominal pain

and cramping, as well as changes in bowel

movements such as diarrA New You for the

New Year.

As traditional as the Times Square ball drop,

and kisses at midnight, New Year’s resolu-

tions happen the moment we wake up the

next morning. Although these promises

are vast, the majority center on improving

health and wellness for the upcoming year.

The unfortunate truth is that for every 100

people making resolutions, only 40 will try

to keep them in January, and that number

decreases to 18 people six months later. If

you overloaded your body with sugar this

past holiday season thinking of your up-

coming promise, your stats may be worse

since that sugar loading increased your

body’s hormone insulin levels that increases

cravings and hunger. Add to that January

food deprivation and a boost in metabolism

from new exercise, and you’re left with in-

tense hunger and worsening odds each year.

To help combat these challenges, many indi-

viduals seek the help of a bariatrician.

Bariatricians are physicians specialized in

the causes, prevention, and treatment of

obesity in non surgical techniques. They

work with patients needing to lose 10lbs to

350lbs who have no desire to have weight

loss surgery, those thinking about it, or

those who have had various weight loss sur-

geries. Knowledge of the most up to date

techniques makes these physicians uniquely

equipped to help individuals whose diet and

exercise regimens have led to frustrating

past results.

They create a comprehensive program of

nutrition, exercise, lifestyle modifications

and, when indicated, the prescription of

appropriate medications. Bariatricians also

look at your medical history, medications,

and lab work for potential metabolic or

biochemical reasons for weight gain. Then

they teach about behavioral, psychological,

and nutritional ways to reach weight loss

goals. Basically, they design individualized

weight loss plans. Plans are then modified as

weight loss progresses, and then individual-

ized maintenance plans are taught to keep

the weight off.

Bariatricians are also trained to treat mul-

tiple obesity related complications that need

monitoring such as diabetes, high blood

pressure, high cholesterol, low thyroid, de-

pression, sleep disorders, and others. These

conditions often go undetected and untreat-

ed in a non-medical weight loss program.

When these conditions are controlled and

improved, often medications can be weaned

down or discontinued to save hundreds

of dollars in medication costs. Decreased

medical conditions means decreased visits

to physician offices or hospitals, and can

save you thousands of lifetime healthcare

dollars. Your current medications and med-

ical history will also be reviewed to look for

factors inhibiting weight loss that could be

adjusted.

If your Finally ready to meet your weight

Loss goals, we are pleased to announce that

Lexington now has a valuable resource. Dr.

Swindler and other physicians at

Medical Bariatrics of Lexington are

Lexington’s only board certified bariatricians

and have helped over 8,000 patients lose over

210,000 lbs. They are located in Hamburg

and are ready to help you lose weight, feel

better, and live a healthier happier life

affordably. For questions, call
