Volume 35, Number 17 Thursday, May 2, 2019 Home Sweet Home by Andrew Tallackson The measure of suc- cess, it seems, for many a recent high school or college graduate is a life forged far from home. Never mind the nurtur- ing presence of one’s hometown. If at all pos- sible, get the hell out of Dodge. Joe Stewart, refresh- ingly, bucks that trend. Strike up a conversa- tion with him, and he comes across as humble, thoughtful, quietly re- fl ective. Watch him per- form, and a star emerges. LaPorte County born and bred, with extraor- dinary talents, Stewart quickly realized how precious Midwest life was, making Michigan City his home and dis- covering bountiful op- portunities to embellish his creative side. For income, he is a server at Joe Stewart performs during a meeting Galveston Steakhouse. of Monday Musicale members.

And when he paused for a sly nod to “The Lion King,” the audience each time erupted with laughter that lasted several minutes. Stan Holdcraft, who directed the YPTC produc- tions in which Stewart appeared, says he was im- pressed by his talent and professionalism. “Joe was one of the easiest kids I have worked with over the years,” Holdcraft said. “He was a dream to work with. He would do whatever you asked him to do. He was always on top of the character he was portraying. Very creative, and eager to please.” So with that level of talent, one might assume Stewart was gunning for a future life elsewhere. Yes and no. After graduating from LaPorte High School in 2006, Stewart attended St. Joseph’s College in Rens- selaer, where he focused on an English degree, but took advantage of performing opportunities there. He graduated in 2010 and returned home for a year to secure enough money to attend graduate school. In 2011, Stewart headed to New Jersey to earn a master’s degree in English at Seton Hall University. He fi nished everything but his thesis. What hap- pened? You could say it was an unexpected lesson in culture shock. “I loved the school, but I did not like New Jersey. It was super stressful,” he said. “It would have been much different had I not been a born-and-bred Mid- westener, but it was different out there. There is an incredible social nuance in the Midwest in general that I did not realize existed until I got out there and it was all gone. “I do plan on fi nishing the degree. I am so close. Basically, there is 50 pages separating me from a degree.” Upon returning home, Stewart quickly found work: one position at a former job at Lighthouse Place-Premium Outlets, the second waiting tables at Galveston Steakhouse. Stewart has the North End restaurant to thank for a bit of serendipity. He waited on a table occu- pied by members of First United Methodist Church, 121 E.

Five Tips for Taking Care of Your Trees

1. Don’t “top” your trees. Topping is the removal of large branches to reduce the height of the tree. This causes decay that leads to large branch failures in the future. 2. Don’t “spike” your trees. Spiking causes wounds that lead to infection and tree decline. Anyone who spikes trees is causing long-term damage to the trees. 3. Avoid damage to the roots. Large trucks cause soil compaction and digging up roots cause frayed wounds that can’t heal and create access points for pathogens (fungi) that start root rot and weaken the trees structural stability. Lawn mowers can also cause damage to the root flares. 4. Protect the roots out to the drip line from any activity other than foot traffic. The drip line is simply the outside edge of the canopy. On a mature open grown oak, it can be a circle of 60 feet in diameter. 5. Consult an ISA Certified Arborist before doing anything to your tree.

GOT BACK PAIN?

Brand New Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop Will Have You Back On Your Feet In No Time to Enjoy Your Spring

•Do you suffer from back pain so bad, it can even stop you from walking, and hurts when you stand? • Does your back ever “go out” all of a sudden if you move the wrong way? •Do you feel pain when you drive or sit for long periods of time? •Do you ever experience numbness, pain or tingling in your butt, groin or down your leg? •Are you worried your pain will get worse if you don’t do anything about it?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, or have a loved one who suffers from chronic back pain, but hasn’t done anything about it - then attending this workshop may be the most important thing you do this spring. It may unlock the agonizing mystery of your back pain and show you a way to get back to the life you deserve...

• A life where you can sleep at night without tossing and turning, hoping to find one position where the pain stops. • A life where you can wake up in the morning and not take 20 minutes to get out of bed... and then another 20 minutes to put on your socks and shoes, always restricted by a back so stiff and tight. • A life where you can play with your kids or grandkids without worrying when your back is going to “go out” and leave you crippled on the floor. •A life where you can do and enjoy all the things you see so many others doing and enjoying, but your bad back has kept you watching from the sidelines. ...Basically, a life without the curse of back pain.

If You Feel Let Down, Disappointed, Even Skeptical About What Can Be Done to Help You, Then Read On…

Here at Orthopedic and Balance Therapy, we’ve helped 100s of people from right here in Northwest Indiana who have suffered needlessly with back pain and sciatica. It’s our specialty.

So, by request I’m holding the Lower Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop here at Orthopedic and Balance Therapy on:

• Tuesday, May 7, at 5 P.M. at our LaPorte office: 1405 E. Lincolnway Suite B (across Indiana 2 from Walmart) • Thursday, May 9, 6 P.M. at the Valparaiso location: 3125 Calumet Ave., Suite 8 (next to the YMCA)

PAID ADVERTISEMENT THE May 2, 2019 Page 31

If You’re Confused About What to Do and Looking for Answers… Here’s What You’ll Learn at This New Workshop:

• The 3 best exercises that will help you walk farther for longer. • The 7 things you can do if you’re hoping to avoid surgery that’ll cost you nothing. • The most successful treatments for lower back pain that don’t involve any medications, injections or surgery • The 7 urgent coping strategies every back pain sufferer must never forget when back pain strikes!! • The single biggest mistake that most back pain and sciatica sufferers make that actually stops them from healing
