A FAILING GRADE
Despite American Lung Association report, air quality debate rages on in Southern Indiana
By CHARLIE WHITE newsroom@newsandtribune.com
S
OUTHERN INDIANA — As the federal Environmental Protection Agency looks to adopt stricter ozone standards, Indiana state environmental officials weighed that existing air-quality monitoring is sufficiently working toward less pollution. There’s no disputing that air pollutants freely cross the Ohio River between Louisville and surrounding counties like Clark and Floyd, though local environmental officials say they haven’t detected significantly more ozone from vehicles sitting in traffic for ongoing downtown construction for the Ohio River Bridges Project. The Louisville metro area that includes 11 Kentucky counties and six in Southern Indiana received failing grades from the American Lung Association for both ozone and particle pollution, according to its latest State of the Air report. “It seems that raising the standards is the only way,” said Judy Martin, president of the Floyd Action Network, a group of about 200 local environmental activists. Still, Martin doubts there’s any way to count on consistent improvements no matter what the standards, if the population grows and there’s more demand for consumer goods. “So many people in the U.S. are saying we have no air-quality problems,” Martin said. “We have to keep reaching above.” Some business and state leaders, however, disagree, strongly opposing further federal ozone limits by the EPA to limit ozone. The National Association of Manufacturers has called on federal regulators to keep the ozone standard at 75 parts per billion rather than lowering it to 65-70

parts per billion, as proposed in late 2014. The association commissioned a study done by the New Yorkbased consulting firm National Economical Research Associates, which estimates the EPA’s proposed new ozone standard could cost American manufacturers more than $1 trillion from 2017–2040. The study also found the measure would slash the national gross domestic product by $140 billion annually, resulting in the equivalent of 1.4 million jobs being eliminated per year. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and state environmental officials echo the National Association of Manufacturers’ study, saying the EPA proposal would be a job killer that diminishes the quality of life in the Hoosier state. The Indianapolis Star reported May 18 that state officials are downplaying what medical researchers say is an unacceptable public health risk because the science behind the proposed changes can’t be trusted.

The state’s top air-quality regulators also claim lowering ozone levels won’t help people with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia and those with other conditions made worse by ozone. Martin said “the bad air isn’t going to stop at the state line so there has to be as many local organizations working together as possible” to improve air quality. Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control Distict officials work with businesses, Indiana environmental officials in Indianapolis and their Kentucky counterparts in Frankfort to help enforce the federal Clean Air Act first enacted in 1963. Louisville air pollution district spokesman Tom Nord asserts that air quality is gradually improving, as the law originally intended, noting there is some discretion given to local and state agencies. “The air quality is vastly improved from what our fathers and grandfathers breathed,” Nord said.

Rasmussen Chiropractic gives the right adjustments When Dr. Chris Rasmussen had an injury to his lower back several decades ago, it left him paralyzed in his right leg. Faced with a decision between surgery and chiropractic treatment, he decided to take the latter route, and the results he saw inspired him to become a chiropractor. Thirty-seven years later, Rasmussen continues to bring these healing procedures to his Southern Indiana patients. “The whole philosophy of chiropractic is based on natural healing,” he said. “The body is supposed to heal itself. No matter what any doctor does to you, the healing of the body takes place within the body — it does not take place from the doctor.” Dr. Douglas Breger, a licensed chiropractor who has also been at the practice since 2002, said in addition to spinal adjustments and massage therapy, they strive to educate patients on how lifestyle changes can affect their overall health. “Most people come through the door with a pain syndrome,” Breger said. “We’d like to think that our patients, after going through treatment, leave us with an idea of how to take care of ourselves better and be able to enjoy life as actively as they can. “The most common thing we get besides pain is: ‘Doc I can’t do this anymore,’ so it’s a way for us to help them reestablish some functional capacity maybe beyond what they’ve had in a long time.” Sherry Rasmussen, office manager and Chris Rasmussen’s wife, said there are many different reasons for people to seek chiropractic care, and many diagnoses it can treat. “We’ve treated everybody from newborns to somebody who was 107,” Sherry said. “There is no age limit.” She said they treated a child who had anger issues, and after being treated with upper cervical adjustments, his mother reported a huge difference in his behavior. “He couldn’t verbalize it,” Sherry said. “This little boy was 3 years old and he couldn’t get people to understand. He thought it was normal to hurt like that.” She said they have even had parents stop in with newborns on their way home from the hospital. “The birth process is the most traumatic on the body. It’s where most problems originate but gravity takes its toll as we get older, pulling us down, so there’s a lot of different forces in effect,” Sherry said. “People are not easy on their bodies. We don’t wear overcoats made of bubble wrap to keep us from getting banged up and hurt.” She said the treatment program for each patient will depend on the severity of the problem and the age and overall health of the person. “As people are getting older and looking at alternative medicines versus go-

ing to get a pain pill or a shot or whatever, they’re looking for something that will correct the problem, not patch the problem,” she said. A consultation at Rasmussen Chiropractic is free. Based on what the doctors determine, a plan for treatment may be discussed. Rate cards are available to all patients. Sherry said though insurance companies often cover chiropractic care, the current health care climate has left many with high deductibles — and some choose to go the cash route. The practice offers packages of visits for purchase as an option to patients. She said the website, rasmussenchiro. com, has a coupon, and they also advertise with Valpak and coupons can be found on that website as well. “We’re honest with everybody, Sherry said. “We’re not after the almighty dollar. We are eking out a living, so to speak. We try to keep our prices fair and we do what we can to help those in need.” Rasmussen said he believes his business has seen success over the years in part due to their dedication to personal care and patient communication. “Our business as a whole, most people comment that it’s a very friendly atmosphere and it’s a very fun place to come to,” he said. “Our success rate with our patients is over 92 percent. And probably 85 to 90 percent of our patient flow is from referrals, so it’s the people that come here that basically bring us our new patients on a regular basis.” Sherry agreed, saying that they feel as though their patients become part of their family. “We know pretty much everything there is to know about most of the patients that come in here; we know when their children are graduating high school, we know when they’re graduating college, we have a lot of patients who have been with us since we opened,” she said. “Everybody is family.” Breger said he loves his work and feels very fortunate to be a part of this practice. “Dr. Chris [Rasmussen] has been in practice for over 20 years and that’s really the foundation for this practice — the good work that he’s done over the past 20 years,” Breger said. “That’s hard to gain. That takes a long time to gain that kind of a trust and his reputation in the community.”

Nearly everyone has experienced a small flutter, skipped heartbeat or slight quiver in their chest. For some people, the episode would go away within seconds. Others may not even know it happened. And still others have a constant battle to keep their heart rate under control. Atrial fibrillation, or A Fib, is the most common type of irregular heartbeat, and has a wide spectrum of symptoms and severity. It can happen to anyone, but your chance of developing A Fib increases with age. how it works In A Fib, the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly, which causes the heart to insufficiently pump blood. A normal heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. An irregular rate can be 100 to 175 beats per minute or higher. A Fib can cause blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related conditions. About 15 percent of patients have no symptoms before they are diagnosed. When symptoms occur, they could include: • Irregular pulse • Racing or pounding heart • Feeling that the heart is fluttering • Chest pain • Dizziness • Shortness of breath • Weakness and fatigue • Anxiety • Fainting The most common triggers of A Fib include: • Underlying lung diseases like COPD/emphysema • High blood pressure • Coronary artery disease

and heart attacks • Heart failure • Heart valve problems • Thyroid disorders or serious infections Atrial flutter is another arrhythmia where an abnormal electrical conduction circuit allows a very rapid heart rate of 250 to 300 beats per minute. When the heart beats that quickly, the heart, brain and other organs may not get enough blood which can cause them to fail. Congestive heart failure, heart attack and stroke can all be a result of atrial flutter. A Fib and atrial flutter often alternate back and forth.

A variety of EP procedures are performed inside the catheterization lab including: • Diagnostic Electrophysiology (EP) Studies: A minimally invasive procedure frequently performed for patients who have been diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia. EP physicians perform sophisticated computer mapping techniques to identify the sites of origin of arrhythmias or the location of short circuits. The study can help evaluate the effectiveness of certain medications in controlling the heart arrhythmia; help predict the risk of future cardiac events and assess the need for an implantable
device, such as a pacemaker or implantable cardiac device (ICD); or to pursue a cardiac ablation to cure the specific arrhythmia. • Permanent Pacemaker Implants: A pacemaker is a device that sends small electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate or to stimulate the lower chambers of the heart. A pacemaker may also be used to treat fainting spells, congestive heart failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. There are different types of pacemakers, and your doctor will decide what type of pacemaker you need based on your heart condition. • Catheter Ablations: Catheter-based ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that involves identifying and eliminating cardiac arrhythmias using radio frequency or cryothermal energy sources. A cardiac EP, assisted by specially trained staff, creates barriers in the tissue identified as the source of arrhythmias by burning, or ablating, those spots. The goal is to eliminate the source causing arrhythmias, so that the heart beats normally again. — For Southern Indiana patients with rhythm disorders, treatment options are available at Floyd Memorial.

Pollution
continued from A1
The bulk of the area’s industrial pollution comes from Louisville, where 37 big businesses like Ford, GE and Louisville Gas & Electric are regulated under Title V environmental permits regulating emissions. A handful of Southern Indiana businesses like Jeffboat, Kitchen Kompact and Koetter Woodworking also have similar permits through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Last summer, Louisville had just three days where it exceeded ozone standard, compared with four times that number during a swelteringly dry summer two years before. Coal-fired power plants are now used by utility companies like Duke
Energy and LG&E, instead of coal being burned at individual buildings for heat and energy decades ago. “No one can have a smoke stack belching black smoke anymore,� Nord said. And further federal restrictions on coal-fired plants may be on the horizon, which has drawn the ire of some legislators and business leaders.The US. Energy Information Administration’s Clean Power Plan seeks for states to begin reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 2020 to meet standards for them to drop by 30 percent by 2030. After U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, requested a study of the proposal, the U.S. Energy Administration released a new report Friday that estimates electricity prices will increase 4.9 percent by 2020 due to the EPA’s Clean Power Plan.

SonBlest gives in-home care a personal touch SonBlest offers individual care with important chores When Gary Ward’s parents grew older and needed more care, they had to decide between a nursing home facility or staying at home. After his mother had surgery, it was decided to hire in-home care for both she and Ward’s father. In addition, Ward spent some of his own time caring for his parents toward the end of their life. In 2003 Ward was searching for a business to purchase, and when Helen Cullum was offering SonBlest Elder Care for sale, it was of course the perfect fit. “I always had a tendency for all phases of health care, and I was most familiar with care inside the home," Cullum said. “I think the Lord put it in my mind and gave me the strength to do that. Gary has been a lovely person to work with," said Cullum who started the company in 1991, and her mission of bringing excellent care in the home continues. “We’ve been helping people in their home longer than any nonmedical agency in Southern Indiana,� Ward said. For SonBlest Elder Care, business has been increasing over the last few years, and it may be because of families keeping their loved ones at home. However, families may be choosing SonBlest because of the individual care that includes such important, and often overlooked everyday services such as answering the phone or door, caring for household plants or pets, laundry, meal planning, housekeeping and personal care assistance. Perhaps most treasured by the clients is the friendship developed with the caregivers contracted through SonBlest, whether the care is in their home, hospital, retirement or nursing home. A bulletin board is kept in the office for all the thank you notes the staff have received. SonBlest workers have even been recognized several times in client obituaries. “Sometimes they just want conversation, or help with a crossword puzzle. We’re also there for companionship,� said Ward. Ward said that he works with about 50 contractors who serve as caregivers for the senior citizen clients, which often leads to a perfect match between client and caregiver. “We try to match them on personality as well as the schedule and types of services needed. Maybe they want someone

For more than 35 years, OB/GYN Associates of Southern Indiana has been offering a wide variety of medical care for women. The tradition continues, as the New Albany-based business provides Southern Indiana with more than 100 years of combined experience including the deliveries of more than 16,000 babies. OB/GYN Associates has a dedicated staff, and the physicians there take pride in providing the best care for their patients. The center offers some of the latest treatment options available to women, and OB/GYN Associates continues to provide multiple services including routine and advanced gynecological care and routine and high-risk prenatal care including midwifery. Surgical services including minimally invasive outpatient surgeries are also offered at OB/GYN Associates. The center also evaluates and treats multiple gynecological issues including menopausal symptoms, abnormal pap smears, pelvic pain, bleeding problems, female urinary incontinence and prolapse disorders. It’s all part of OB/GYN Associates’ effort to maintain a one-stop shop for Southern Indiana women to receive care. The staff realizes how important and memorable welcoming a baby into the family is, and OB/GYN Associates provides calm, nurturing care. The center features a staff of seven medical doctors, two nurse practitioners and a certified midwife, Carla Layne. Carla has more than 10 years of midwifery experience and spent six years as a labor and delivery nurse prior to becoming a midwife. The physicians have enjoyed working with Carla. The addition of a midwife allows women to have the birth experience that they desire, whether that is with a physician or a midwife. Birth plans can be for a natural birth, or one that utilizes all that modern medicine can provide. For those who can’t wait to see their baby, OB/ GYN Associates of Southern Indiana offers elective 3D and 4D ultrasounds for its established patients. OB/GYN Associates continues to look for ways to improve the customer experience, and the center recently introduced a patient portal that allows patients access to their health information at anytime.

appointment reminders via email or text, request prescription refills, send messages to the office and view and pay their bills through the secure patient portal. Nontraditional services such as laser hair removal also are available. Some physicians at the center have undergone additional training in order to offer other cosmetic services, such as liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation and facial enhancement services such as Botox and dermal fillers. Cosmetic surgery is the most commonly performed surgery in the United States today. It’s no longer a procedure done “just in Hollywood.� By maintaining their board certification with the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecologists through continuing medical education courses and yearly board examinations, the physicians stay up to date with the latest medical advances. As in any business, technology changes and continued education are critical. As a result, the physicians are able to allow women of Southern Indiana with gynecological problems access to latest advances in treatment options. Two physicians are trained to perform robotic hysterectomies utilizing the DaVinci robot at the University of Louisville. The staff encourages women to have regular checkups to help them stay healthy no matter their age. Such preventative care measures help ensure that tests and immunizations that women need to keep them healthy are kept up to date. Patients are provided complete and updated information allowing active participation in decisions and plans of treatment.

who likes pets, or an older person who can talk about the old days, or younger to lift them easier. We try to match people as best we can. SonBlest specializes in 24/7 care because those rates are much lower than the competition, but they also offer very reasonable rates for hourly visits at a three hour minimum for Clark and Floyd counties and a higher minimum outside those counties. SonBlest offers companionship, so consistency in care is key. “Most of our clients like to have the same caregivers all of the time,� said Ward. He explained that for the smaller, hourly assignments SonBlest will try to use the same caregiver, and with the larger jobs up to 24/7 they use the same few caregivers as much as possible. If a caregiver can’t work a shift SonBlest tries their best to cover that shift with a caregiver who already works in the home so someone new doesn’t have to be introduced. In order to work as a caregiver for SonBlest, one must go through a rigorous screening process that includes local, state, and national background checks. Ward also conducts thorough interviews and reference checks, which is all for insuring giving your loved ones the best, and most secure care. “Our caregivers are professionals. This is what they want to do with their life, as they enjoy taking care of the elderly and listening to their stories,� said Ward. Ward explained that many of the caregivers have been caring for senior citizens for years, and some even decades. SonBlest contracts with the most experienced caregivers because it’s important for one to be aware of the many different types of situations that could arise when caring for someone. A caring heart and patience are also important for caregivers contracted through SonBlest Elder Care. “We get a lot of referrals from both past and present clients who were very satisfied,� Ward says.

Some things age well. Your colon? Not so much.
If you’re 50 or older, you have a couple choices. You can schedule a colonoscopy. Or you can start thinking of excuses. And we totally get why you might go the excuse route. But before you decide, consider two things. Colorectal cancer is now the second deadliest cancer. It’s also about 90% preventable. And no one in the region is better at putting you in the 90% than we are. Here’s why. An “adenoma detection rate” tells you how thorough we are at detecting and removing polyps — those are the growths in your colon that, if left alone, can become cancerous.
ARE YOU 50?
When we do a colonoscopy, our ADR is more than twice the national average — even matching the rate at the Mayo Clinic. That’s just a fact. We find them. We remove them. All at the same time.
Colon cancer is extremely preventable through proper screening by removing polyps. Begin screening at age 50, then every 10 years thereafter unless you have risk factors for colorectal cancer.
We know you’re nervous…we really do. So we go to great lengths to keep you comfortable and informed at every stage of care, in facilities designed for your comfort. It’s why we get a 99% patient satisfaction rating. From a colonoscopy or infusion therapy to a more complex procedure, ask your doctor to refer you to Gastroenterology of Southern Indiana. And join the 90%.
