History Exhibit explores history of local farm COMMUNITY

Commentary by Jeff Worrell

One of the most modern conveniences delivered the opportunity to jump backward in time. The call on my cell phone invited me to the grand opening of the Carmel Clay Historical Society’s exhibit remembering a grand Carmel farm with a very rich history. For those who remember the Lynnwood Farm on the east side of Carmel, the grand opening was a chance to gather and reminisce about the agricultural jewel’s glory days. In 1934, Charles Lynn started buying land, amassing 623 acres where Plum Creek Golf Course, Northview Christian Church, the Carmel water treatment plant and hundreds of homes now stand. Lynnwood Farm was established as a place to breed horses and hogs. But it was more than just a farm; it was a farm ahead of its time. There were 54 buildings on the property, and the horse barn, show barn and farm office still stand today as part of Plum Creek Golf Course. The only corncrib left standing can be seen on 126th street just east of Hazel Dell. The “dry barn” is used by Northview Church for youth programs. Twenty-four full-time employees worked the farm year-round, and in the summer

months the workforce swelled to 60. "Purebreds and Percherons: The Legacy of Lynnwood Farm" is now showing at the Monon Depot Museum, 211 First Street SW. Admission is free, but donations are greatly appreciated. “This look back at Lynnwood is amazing and something I think all of Carmel will enjoy,” said Executive Director Katherine Dill. “We are very lucky to have so many pictures and artifacts as well as firsthand accounts from people who lived there.” Ann Peterson Day of Day Furs on Range Line Road grew up on Lynnwood Farm because her father, Bob, was the third farm manager of Lynnwood. “It was such a wonderful place to grow up,” said Day. “I have great memories.” Eventually Lynn donated the farm to Purdue University to provide a teaching and research environment for students. Even now, Lynnwood Farm continues to inspire young and old alike. Stop by the Monon Depot Museum and be inspired by for yourself. Jeff Worrell is a local businessman. He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on cable channel 16. Contact him at jworrell@ advantagemedical.com

Correction – The headline for an article featuring a hole at the Ulen Country Club in Lebanon in Current’s April 24 Golf Guide incorrectly identified the hole as the 16th. The hole, as listed correctly in the body of the article, should have been identified as the 18th hole.

COMMUNITY Education Township, CCS discussing deal for Ivy Tech building By Kevin Kane • kevin@youarecurrent.com Carmel Clay Schools is seriously interested in acquiring the Community Life and Learning Center, and Clay Township is becoming increasingly interested in getting the costly property off its books. The township currently spends about $100,000 per year in County Option Income Tax money to support the 30,000-square-foot building at 515 E. Main St., which houses Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana and the Legacy Fund. At a meeting last Monday, each member of the Clay Township board said it is an expense the township cannot continue to absorb, and the board has supposedly been approached by multiple suitors with an interest in the property. The interested party perhaps most likely to acquire the building sits across the street. At the meeting, CCS publicly expressed its interest in the center, which Director of Student Services Steve Dillon said could be used to offer new programs to Carmel High School seniors during school hours. Current in Carmel earlier this year reported that if legislation creating a designation of “high-performing school corporation” were to be passed, CCS would use the freedoms likely to come with such a distinction to give its seniors new programs designed to further prepare them for college. The CLLC likely would be used for these types of programs, Dillon said. “We would be interested in entering into dis-

cussions with Ivy Tech and other schools in the state about the possibility of offering a senior semester. We are exploring these options right now,” he said. “Wouldn’t it be great to . . . allow our students to begin their college courses before their college careers even begin?” But while the board’s members said they support the idea of keeping higher education in Carmel, they are not willing to give away the building. The board said the township has put significant sums of money into restoring and maintaining the building, including recently spending more than $300,000 to replace the roof. “We continue to put money into the building,” the board secretary Mary Eckard said. “There has to, at some point, be some money coming back to the township.” Eckard’s fellow board member, Matthew Snyder, suggested $500,000 as a purchase price the board might find acceptable. No action was taken at the meeting.

Cover story

What those in the know want the rest of us to know about the disorder By Darla Kinney Scoles & Jordan Fischer editorial@youarecurrent.com Autism Awareness Month has come to an end, but those who deal with autism every month have a few things they want others to remember all year long. With one in 88 children diagnosed with autism, the situations that arise from dealing with this disorder are not simply left to parents alone. Current asked what those more familiar with autism would want the rest of us to learn and understand. Their responses follow:

Mary Rosswurm

“A lot of people talk about people with autism as patients. I don’t think our kids are sick. There’s nothing about them that’s not whole,” said Mary Rosswurm, executive director of the not-for-profit Little Star Center in Carmel. A parent of a child with autism, Rosswurm understands firsthand Rosswurm the challenges that such parents face. Often the first challenge, she said, is deciding to see a physician. “Parents need to not wait,” Rosswurm said. “If they think there’s something going on, they need to get (their children) diagnosed. Early intervention is key.” Rosswurm also said a recent boom in the creation of centers for autism has made it difficult for parents to know where the best place is for their child to go. “I think it’s scary right now that centers treating autism are popping up all over the place, because it’s a specialty, and people are doing it for profit,” she said. “Right now it’s easier in Indiana to open up a center and say you serve kids with autism than it is to open a dog care center.” Nevertheless, finding the right place for their children can be one of the most important decisions parents make, Rosswurm said, and can go a long way toward lightening some of their load. “My goal at the end of the day is to be the soft place for parents to fall,” Rosswurm said. “They have so many battles … I want this to be the easy part of their day.” More information about Little Star Center can be found online at www.littlestarcenter.org. Look for a profile on the nonprofit in the May 15 edition of Current in Carmel.

“Steve is a very highly functioning Asperger’s (syndrome) kid,” said Sharon of Noblesville, mother of Steve. “Too often, his behavior has been classified as ‘bad’ and as his mom, I was judged as allowing ‘bad’ behavior. “We went through many years when Steve’s tendency toward meltdowns and violence – stemming from frustration at not ‘getting’ the world – inhibited the whole family. Outings sometimes resulted in judgment or well-intentioned advice at how to get back on track with my wayward child. “Steve is much better now because of our determination to not let Asperger’s be the thing that defines him. The things I learned from our social worker and implemented at home were so helpful they inspired both of us to keep trying. As the stress level in Steve’s life slowly reduced, he was able to gain more control over his response to frustration. We’re on a good path and have lots of tools. “The thing that helped me the most during the years was when people took seriously my suggestions and guidance about how to deal

with Steve. Often, teachers or day care workers would ask for help in dealing with him. I spent a lot of time and effort trying to pass on the tools I had learned, but often, my comments were rejected. On the other hand, when an adult tried my suggestions, very often Steve would respond positively. I am so grateful for those people – they made a real difference in Steve’s life!”

Jane Webb and Griffin Nickels

“I was a school teacher for 27 years. While I was teaching, I discovered I really had a passion for children with learning challenges,” said Jane Webb of Noblesville, author and friend of 15-year-old Griffin Nickels. “I developed as a teacher and as a person just as a result of having them (children) in my class. One of my students with autism had a younger brother. When this younger brother would visit us in class, he would say ‘My brother is artistic.’ “I found there are not a lot of books, especially picture books, designed to help create an understanding of autism. That basically is how the book ‘My Brother is Artistic’ came to be. The

Current in Carmel

passion I have for children with autism, the desire to increase awareness and the lack of resources all propelled me forward to write this book. “Beth and I are good friends. When the manuscript was done, I called her to get her opinion. When I finished reading it, there was dead silence on the other end of the phone. She was crying because she was so touched by the book. It was her that asked if her son Griffin – who has autism – could do the pictures. I was reluctant at first because I wasn’t sure how he would do with deadlines, or having to change a picture. It ended up working out beautifully. “Autism does make Griffin different. He would be teased and shoved around. Because of the book, his classmates now see him as a famous illustrator. Just ask him and he’ll tell you – he is the most famous illustrator in Noblesville.” The book “My Brother is Artistic,” written by Webb and illustrated by Nickels, is available online at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.

VIEWS

Editorial Our Currentoonist? Yep, No. 1 in state

Political Noise Pollution It is our position that negative political campaign advertising is a counterproductive use of time, money and the attention of the voting public. As Election Day nears, the airwaves are filled with a cacophony of harsh-voiced accusations. Television images project defaced candidate caricatures as a flood of postcards fill mailboxes with negative messages. All this finger pointing just seems to be creating a big obnoxious cloud of political noise pollution. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions churning the negative campaign machines that are producing all the smoke and mirrors. Are registered voters expected to go to the polls with the mindset of, “Who are we voting against today?” Just as we have a right to vote in this country, we also have a right to clear and concise positive messages from those seeking political office. Voters want and deserve to know what these candidates “can” and “will” do for their constituents, as opposed to casting a vote because another candidate “didn’t” and “won’t.” Give voters credit. Give voters good information. Give voters; eyes and ears a break. Get rid of the political noise pollution and let voters breathe easily during election season.

Beating a point

Commentary by Terry Anker

Recently I found myself at the table when a particularly vociferous disagreement erupted between two thinking and engaged folks, each with their own particularly impassioned views on life and the body politic. As personal insults were exchanged, it reminded me of the only physical beating ever to take place on the floor of the U.S. Senate. In May of 1856, a member of that august body, Charles Sumner, had laid out a blistering attack on supporters of the U.S. system of chattel slavery including remarks directed in personal offense at Senator Andrew Butler. Some supported Sumner’s then-considered uninformed and radical point of view, while others did not. Regardless of the value of the discourse, Butler’s nephew, a member of the House of Representatives, believed that a line had been crossed and took it upon himself to enter the Senate chamber and promptly beat Sumner. Opinion about Butler’s escalation of the matter was varied. As one might imagine, supporters of Sumner’s standpoint were outraged,

while those looking at it from Butler’s position found his move not only justified, but also minor in comparison to the transgression attributed to Sumner. Regardless, the attack had a chilling effect on discourse in the Senate. Sumner’s desk sat empty for three years as a reminder of the dangers of taking an unpopular stand – or in contrast, as an example of the importance of martyrdom. The use of harsh and intimidating language is today, and perhaps has always been, a part of the American discourse. But, is it ever the most effective tool for advancing a reasoned opinion? Our own frustration with our inability to reach consensus with our peers can be expressed in a number of ways. But are angry, dismissive, profane or other postures productive? Should they be a part of our regular discourse?

Tim Campbell is No. 1. It’s neat to be able to talk about our Currentoonist in a sentence like that. A bit of explanation is in order. Tim entered the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists’ contest for excellence in the industry. He submitted a sampling of his Current works, and, lo and behold (although not surprising to us), he won first place, kicking tail against some stellar competition. He picked up his hardware at the annual banquet last weekend and is a happy man these days. Actually, Tim generally is a happy man. He’s also a genius as an illustrator and a sometimes-polarizing cartoonist, and we’re lucky to have him on the team. He thanked us for taking a chance by launching Current and giving him an outlet. The truth is, he took a chance on us. Well done, Mr. Campbell.

Mother’s Day list

Commentary by Danielle Wilson Alright mommies, our day approach-eth! And because I’ve finally wised up to the fact that my family, though attractive and talented, are not mind readers, I’ve again prepared a “to-to” list to help them orchestrate the perfect Mother’s Day. No more disappointment when they forget it’s my day, no more bad-mouthing my husband because he didn’t clean the dishes and no more wondering why I had children in the first place when they fight and whine on this most precious of Sundays. I’m taking control! 1. Deliver breakfast in bed. The menu should include a tall latte from Starbucks, a sausage biscuit from McDonald’s, a small side of fresh pineapple and perhaps a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. I would like to be served at approximately 9 a.m., depending on whether or not I am awake at that hour. The flush of the toilet shall be your cue. 2. Assume the role of domestic servants. I expect to come down and enjoy, throughout the day, a clean kitchen, a picked-up family room and fresh-smelling lavatories. I don’t want to see soccer cleats or Barbie’s posse on the stairs, nor do I want to receive any requests for laundry, meal prep or homework assistance. Uniforms are optional. 3. Be nice to each other. Nothing ruins a peaceful mood more quickly than a smack down among siblings. Take your fights outside (unless I am outside, in which case you should go to a

neighbor’s before resuming your rumble). Pretend that you love each other. 4. Compliment me. Gorgeous is not too strong a word. 5. Take me out for a simple dinner and don’t throw a tizzy if they’ve eighty-sixed the chicken fingers. This isn’t about you! And please select a restaurant with a liquor license. Sure, detailing beforehand how you will spend each hour on Mother’s Day isn’t the most “romantic” way for life to go down, but let’s face it, this is a heck of a lot safer for everyone. I know my expectations will be met, and they know they won’t be in hot water come Monday. Planning the day yourself also takes the guesswork and pressure off your husband. Men just don’t get it, and now they won’t have to. So think about what would make you happiest, and go for it. If you want a bouquet of lilies, ask for them. If you prefer to spend the entire afternoon without kids, organize a sitter. And if you want to wallow in butter-smothered popcorn gazing at dreamy Zac Efron, then Fandango some tickets today. Make Mother’s Day about you for once by doing what you do best– controlling everything and everyone around you! Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist.

Underwear musings Laugh by Mike Redmond

“Semper ubi sub ubi,” read the message scrawled in the back of my Latin book, a greeting from a bored sophomore long ago. “Always wear underwear.” Sound advice, if not sound Latin, and I have always taken it to heart. With very few exceptions (and none of your business what they are), I semper ubi my sub ubi. In fact, I purchased some new sub ubi just the other day and found the experience so interesting that I wanted to tell you about it. This was an online purchase. I do that a lot. Now, I don’t buy everything online, but I figure underwear is one of those things you don’t really have to visually inspect before you hand over your dough. So I went online and found some that looked like they’d do the job. Then the Underwear Company came back at me with an offer: Would I like to enroll in their Underwear Replacement Program and have new shorts shipped to me at regular intervals? Wow. Book of the Month Club, yes. But Underpants of the Month Club? It just doesn’t work for me. For one thing, the interval they suggested – every three months – is too frequent. Underwear doesn’t qualify as old until it starts to develop failures in fabric integ-

rity, also known as holes, or the elastic fails. Boy, I really hate that second one. There’s nothing weirder than having your outside pants stay up while your inside ones are falling down. But just because underwear is old doesn’t mean it’s no longer useful. You wouldn’t want to put it on for date night, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get some wear out of it. The important thing, of course, is that it’s clean. Mom said always to wear clean underwear in case you had to go to the emergency room. She said nothing about vintage. Furthermore, I only have so much money set aside for new unmentionables, and I think I’d like to handle the scheduling, if that’s OK with the Underpants People. I see what they’re getting at. They want us to semper ubi sub ubi, which is fine, and they want us always to have a clean pair, which would make Mom happy, but they want to sell me stuff when I don’t want to buy it.

The Bridges of Hamilton County Laughs by Dick Wolfsie I’m not just one of those guys who sits in front of the TV all night jumping from station to station, failing to watch any show for more than a few minutes. I’m not the kind of guy who, just because I don’t see a pretty female or someone getting stabbed in the first 30 seconds, zaps to another channel. No, I am not just one of those guys – I am THE guy. So you can imagine how excited I was when I went to get my teeth cleaned and my hygienist slapped a TV remote in my hand. Imagine watching “Law and Order” while slightly sedated – I could see a re-run and be surprised by the ending! I had found heaven during a routine visit to the dental office. I flipped on the TV, eager to see if my dentist had satellite, cable or dish. I pressed menu and gazed at my choices: Root Canal, TMJ, Bridges, Implants, Teeth Whitening, Tongue Piercing and Dentures. Oh joy! Channels I had never surfed, horizons I had never conquered, buttons I had never pushed. But there was more. Each channel had a submenu: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis and Payment. Movies within movies, stories within stories – a concept made popular by Shakespeare and reintroduced by Dr. Smith. I clicked on “Teeth Whitening: Treatment.”

Frightening close-ups of bad teeth filled the screen; visual effects crawled over the monitor, turning a horrid set of pearly grays into a string of Chiclets so breathtaking I was eager to see who the cinematographer was. I know a good plot when I see one: people who neglected their dental hygiene, destined to follow a path down the yellow-toothed road. My session was almost over, time enough only to surf one more channel. I clicked on “Bridges.” I prayed it wasn’t some soppy love story about loneliness and isolation. No, it was not the Meryl Streep movie. It was the Bridges of Hamilton County. There it was, right on the screen: real people, real stories, fake teeth. I dared not weep, for fear my tears would suggest over-sensitivity of the teeth rather than the heart. As I started to get up from the chair, Dr. Smith bounded into the room. “Dick, I just looked at your X-rays. You have a small spot on your lower right molar. I’ll need to fill it.” And so he did. Dr. Smith is a wonderful dentist. He did a great job filling my cavity. I can’t wait for the movie.

Wellness Pregnancy is OK after tummy tuck HEALTH

Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley

Q: Can one have a face-lift without any visible scars in front of the ear? I have darker skin and like to wear my hair back and up. I am worried that someone may be able to see the scars running down in front of my ears. I need a mini-face-lift, but many results I have seen show the scar in front of the ear. A: All face-lifts create incisions on the front part of the ear, but where the incisions are made determines how visible the scar will be. Most plastic surgeons place this incision behind the tragus (bump of cartilage in front of the ear canal) so the final healed scar is virtually undetectable. A few others, particularly those trained only in mini-face-lift technique, place the incision in front of the tragus so the scar can be potentially detected no matter how well it heals. The latter approach is simpler and makes the operation faster, but it does not lend itself to a better scar result. Q: I am 21 years old and have lost 65 pounds during the past two years, which has left me with a lot of excess skin and an overhanging abdominal apron. I have been researching tummy tuck surgery to remove it. My main concern is, if I get pregnant in the future, will the tummy tuck scar interfere with my belly stretching during pregnancy? A: There is no problem with becoming pregnant and having children after a tummy tuck.

#1 Agent in Carmel!

This is not a rare occurrence at all. The slow stretch of tissues during pregnancy easily expands the abdominal skin. Since you are young and have never had children (and likely will), the muscle should not be tightened during your tummy tuck – only the overhanging skin and fat should be removed. This will make a dramatic change in your waistline and provide years of feeling better about your body.

Benefits of annual ‘well-woman’ exams Commentary by Linda Witham It’s become increasingly common for women to put their own health care needs aside while caring for children, working or engaging in other activities. At every age, women should schedule an annual “well-woman” exam that includes preventive health care and guidance on diet, exercise, safety and contraception (for premenopausal women). Regarding prevention, women often have questions or concerns about breast health, specifically screening mammograms, and pap smears. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends annual mammograms beginning at age 40, along with clinical breast exams. ACOG also recommends breast self-awareness – looking for lumps, swelling, change in size or shape, dimpling, discharge, rash or pain. This also may include monthly breast self-exams. Women should report any changes to their health care provider. Breast cancer, which claims nearly 40,000 lives annually, is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. That’s why it’s important to talk to your doctor about your personal risk (based largely on family history) to see if you should consider enhanced screening, such as an MRI or gene testing. Each year, there are more than 12,000 new

cases of invasive cervical cancer, and more than 4,000 women die from this disease. Many women are surprised to learn half of diagnosed cervical cancers are late-stage, correlating with lack of screening, particularly in older women. Historically, it was recommended women have annual pap smears to screen for cervical cancer; however, ACOG changed its recommendation to every two years beginning at age 21 and every three years starting at age 30. Your doctor will likely recommend more frequent testing if you have certain high-risk conditions, such as human papilloma virus infection or a history of abnormal test results. Persistent HPV infection is the condition that causes cervical cancer. Pap smears can include HPV testing; ask your doctor for more details. For today’s busy women, there are never enough hours in the day. Remember to take some time out to get a “well-woman” exam. It’s one of the best ways to maintain and improve your health for years to come. Linda Witham is a nurse practitioner specializing in women’s health.

DOUGH

Business

Overcoming the fear of flying Business by David Cain I hate to fly. Strong words, I know, but being in the air scares me more than just a little. I always get to meet people when I fly. They aren’t really looking to meet me, but my clutching of the armrests on takeoffs, landings and any rough in-betweens always attracts their interest. The interest isn’t one of wanting to get acquainted, but instead, they glare like I’m a crying 6-month-old ruining their flight. I have to talk to get my mind off the flying. When you think about rational things, your emotions tend to loosen their grip. I know when I feel my emotions, in the air or at home, they start to take over. When I force myself to think, I become rational, even if it is just working a math problem or talking about where you’re from. Thinking makes us more rational and makes us all different than other animals. When the plane touched ground, the tension drained and exhaustion became my norm. I sat down in Chicago to wait for my next flight. It was a rainy day. As I sat watching people come and go, there were a lot of people running. There was also a big line at the gate ticket counter. Two women in separate lines were crying. Delays. The first woman walked away sobbing. I started thinking about the demeanor of an airport as storms move across the nation. Planes are late and flights are missed; people’s lives are

disrupted. Pilots, passengers, gate attendants alike. Disruption. But for these women, I couldn’t help thinking things are never as big a deal later as they seemed at the time. This day would be a blip on their radar. It would quickly and neatly be archived as soon as it ended. I returned home on time with two things to consider improving. The first, always remember rational thinking can trump emotions. It’s the surest way to diffuse emotionally charged situations. The second, things are never as big of a deal later as they seem when you are dealing with them. I think I’m not only ready to fly again, but I’m also ready to tackle daily problems.

The eyes have it

Pets by John Mikesell

Something is wrong with your dog’s eye. It’s bright red or oozing pus or itching like crazy. Could it be pink eye? This common childhood condition, also known as red eye or conjunctivitis, affects people, cats and our canine companions. Conjunctivitis affects many dogs, and it has many causes.Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the tissue covering the eye and inner surface of the eyelid.If caused by bacteria or viruses, it can be infectious. Noninfectious conjunctivitis can be caused by allergic reactions, irritants or trauma injuries. While contagious conjunctivitis is common among cats and children, most canine cases involve seasonal allergies or pollen exposure, injuries like cuts or scratches or the presence of a small foreign object – anything from a grain of sand to a sliver of bark, piece of grass, tiny leaf or small insect. In those cases, secondary bacterial infections may develop. The symptoms to watch for are eye redness, discharge,

swelling, squinting, excessive blinking, sensitivity to light, pawing at the eyes, or rubbing the face and eyes on floors, the ground or other surfaces. If you think your dog might have conjunctivitis, see your veterinarian. An eye exam can rule out corneal diseases, disorders of the tear ducts or tear production, eyelid abnormalities or parasites of the conjunctiva or eyelids. What you can do: • Check your dog’s eyes daily. • Report any redness, discharge, itching, squinting or other symptoms to your veterinarian. • Use saline solution to flush irritants or foreign objects from the eye. • Treat simple conjunctivitis with herbal or medicinal eye drops. Recurring or chronic conjunctivitis requires an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A Dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john.mikesell@att.net.

Save the furniture – Puppyhood can be a time filled with endless barking, destroyed shoes and furniture and an abundance of messes, but investing in five to 10 hollow, rubber chew toys can be a quick fix. Filling the toys with your dog’s regular food or treats is a good trick, too. – www.pawnation.com Poor puppy – If your dog seems to be head-shaking or ear-pawing, consider starting to clean the ear canals regularly. Infections from bacteria or yeast are caused by buildups of dirty earwax and can easily be avoided by purchasing some ear-cleaning fluid from your veterinarian. - www.zootoo.com Find a friend – It is common knowledge that puppies require socialization to develop into well-behaved adult dogs, but cats are much the same. Kittens need contact with both young and adult cats in the first two to three months of their lives to ensure their growth into a confident and well-adjusted cat. – www. pawnation.com Have kids help – Training your new puppy requires effort from the entire family, both young and old. To get the kids involved, have them try Follow the Leader exercises to reinforce following/walking/heel, and Hide and Seek to teach coming when called. – www.pawnation.com

Speeding up Firefox

Technology by Ken Colburn

the add-ons. Taking the Zen approach to computing (minimalism) will go a long way toward keeping your computer and browser from getting stuck in the mud, so always be picky about what you allow to be installed. The easiest way to test this theory is to try starting Firefox in ‘safe mode,’ which tells it to open a session with the bare minimums, which will strip off all your add-ons. To do this, open Firefox and click on the ‘Help’ menu and select ‘Restart with Add-ons Disabled’ (if the text menu is not at the top, tap the Alt key to expose it). When the ‘Firefox Safe Mode’ window pops up, don’t click on any of the boxes, just click on the ‘Continue in Safe Mode’ button at the bottom to begin your test. If everything speeds up again, you will know one or a combination of the add-ons is causing the performance issue. You can manually disable your add-ons one at a time to track down the offending add-on by hitting Ctrl-Shift-A, (Shift-Command-A on Macs) which will open the Add-ons Manager. Make sure you disable everything (one at a time) in the Extensions, Appearance and Plugins sections, as they all contain add-ons that

About a year ago, I heard you guys mention having a couple of browsers on a computer, so I installed Firefox. My Web browsing has gotten horribly slow these days. By the way, I installed Chrome and everything loads fine. Should I assume I picked up a virus that affects Firefox? - David There are a number of reasons for having multiple browsers on your computer (Windows or Mac), one of them being so you can more easily troubleshoot Internet issues. It’s certainly possible that you have a malware infection, but I’m more likely to guess it’s something else since Chrome is running fine. One of the reasons so many people like Firefox as their primary browser is because of all the add-ons that are available to customize your browsing experience and enhance security. Unfortunately, this wonderful feature is also a large reason why many Firefox users experience performance issues. Just like with your computer, if you load it up with tons of programs and utilities, it will take forever just to get started and it can be sluggish in use as it tries to juggle all the code added by

could be causing your issue. It’s a tedious process, but unless you are willing to throw all your add-ons out and start over, it’s the only way to track down the problem (welcome to the world of computer troubleshooting!). If running in Safe Mode didn’t improve the speed, it’s possible that your profile database is need of some optimization, especially if you use Firefox a lot. There’s a free utility called SpeedyFox (http://goo.gl/cWxcT) that will compact your profile database and clean up the corruption or fragmentation that comes from installing a lot of add-ons. If none of that works, your next step would be to uninstall Firefox completely and reinstall it with the latest version from the Mozilla Web site: firefox.com. If you have an older computer or one with a small amount of RAM, it’s possible that you are opening too many tabs at the same time for your computer to handle. You can easily test this by browsing old school: only open one tab to do all your browsing.

Dress Up Your Bob The beauty of a bob is that it's already so simple and chic that you don't have to do much to it. But that doesn't mean you can't have any fun. Add a little braid in the front of your hair. The mini braid can be pulled over to the side so the end is hidden. Not only is the look cute, but it also keeps your hair out of your face. It's such a simple trick, but it instantly makes your bob look trendy.

Inspiration overhead Design by Vicky Earley Can you imagine what the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel would be like today if Michelangelo had answered that call in the summer of 1508 with “Thanks for the call, Pope, but just go ahead and use ceiling white … it’ll be fine”? Michelangelo was a sculptor by trade with little experience in fresco painting, so the world is a better place for the grand vision and insistence held by Pope Julius II. The most awe inspiring places on earth have ceilings of color, texture, light and, as with the Sistine Chapel, fine art. Inspiration does not have to include a European vacation: the Macy’s store in Chicago has worn a ceiling of tiny Tiffany glass for more than 100 years and is still breathtaking today. That being said, there is something disappointing about the gallons upon gallons of paint being sold every day that are simply called “Ceiling White.” It is like we all gave up, called a truce and decided that “Ceiling White” would be the fate of most ceilings. The fifth wall holds extraordinary potential overhead, and resignation to the pressure of the white ceiling can leave a room feeling unfinished. Adding just a touch of color to a ceiling can bring a certain intimacy while giving the space a much more finished and refined look.

Unexpected drama happens when the ceiling is painted a contrasting color. Crown molding that is painted the same color but with a glossier finish is stunning with this application. I think my favorite application using this technique was when I painted a ceiling with wood beams a deep celadon green and the walls a warm, buttery yellow. The beauty of the wood was enhanced by the contrast to the green, and the room took on warmth that would have been unachievable with white ceilings. Even if your walls are white, your ceiling does not have to follow suit! Color on the ceiling will give a room dimension and flair. Using soft hues will make the room open up, because they evoke feelings of the outdoors. If you want to bring the ceiling down, consider painting it a dark color, such as chocolate or charcoal. The fifth wall can move from a vast white surface, devoid of any interest or character, to a stunning visual feast, simply by considering it a part of the design plan. Just look up at the possibilities!

Oreo bark

Commentary by Ashley Phipps

Oreo cookies are one of my weaknesses, and Oreo Bark is oh-so-yummy! I made this on a whim the other day (an experimental recipe at the time) and brought it to a party with me. I got a lot of compliments on it, and it was so simple that I was almost embarrassed to share my “recipe.” This is so simple that it hardly constitutes a “recipe,” but here goes: Oreo Bark Ingredients: • 18 Oreo cookies (I like “Double Stuf” ones, but regular work fine, too) • 1 bag white chocolate chips Directions: 1. Line a 9-by-13 pan with wax paper. Be sure to leave some paper hanging over the edges of the pan – this will come in handy later. 2. Coarsely crush 15 Oreos. 3. Carefully melt the chocolate in a heat-safe bowl in the microwave at 50-percent power for 10 to 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between heatings, until the chocolate is melted. Be careful not to overheat. 4. Let the chocolate cool in the bowl for a few minutes. Careful, the bowl will be quite hot. 5. Add the crushed Oreos into the chocolate

WE DON’T SUBMIT OUR WORK TO DESIGN CONTESTS and mix gently. 6. Pour the mixture into the lined pan and spread until smooth. 7. Coarsely crush the remaining three Oreos and sprinkle them on top. 8. Let the mixture cool completely then lift it out of the pan by grasping the edges of the wax paper. 9. Break the bark apart using your hands or a fork. And the most important part ... enjoy eating this yummy yummy treat! Happy baking!

Spirituality Demons, redemption and perfection LIFESTYLE

Spirituality by Bob Walters

I read a lot, see a lot, possess an impressive (some would say annoying) mental stash of utterly useless but infallibly entertaining (at least to me) information, keep up on current events and generally feel very informed. But upon hearing the news of Thomas Kinkade’s death April 6, I was floored to find out that this wildly popular artist whose serene, lightinfused paintings seemed to have been around most of my adult life was a) a committed Christian believer, b) actually a couple years younger than me, c) a multimillionaire and d) an alcoholic who died after a night of hard drinking. I had no idea; I couldn’t believe it. Reaching further back in history, I was in journalism school (Franklin College, ’76) during the Nixon Watergate scandals. Back in the 1970s, Chuck Colson, a Christian leader who died April 21, was just another name on a long list of Watergate miscreants whose fierce pride, misplaced loyalties and blind political will helped animate one of our nation’s great, sclerotic meltdowns of cynicism, incivility and civic malfeasance that left a lasting taint on the public’s trust of politicians and journalists. When Colson “got religion” in 1973 after being arrested, I didn’t believe it. And when, after seven months in prison for his Watergate shenanigans, Colson founded “Prison Fellowship Ministries,” I skeptically didn’t believe or

trust that either. Kinkade’s and Colson’s lives are both superlative examples of what lives in Christ can look like. How often those lives are not what we expect, nor easily accept. Kinkade was a ’70s-vintage California hippie who found his faith in Christ while in art school. In his own words, he made it his life’s work “to portray a world without the fall.” It is a stinging irony that Kinkade could paint beautiful images of a world untainted by sin and corruption, while demons dragged him into a bottle. That makes a lot of people doubt God really exists, because “God wouldn’t do that” to Thomas Kinkade. In Colson’s 35 years of committed Christian service, his worldwide prison ministry left a positive effect on thousands of the least and the lost. Further, Colson’s theological and intellectual depth made him a leading, loving, lucid voice of Christian evangelism. Yet because of his Watergate woes, some think, “God wouldn’t want him.” Cynics need to pay close attention to Kinkade and Colson. God’s glory shined through both of their imperfect lives thanks to a perfect redeemer in Jesus Christ. That’s something you can believe.

Bathroom + Sustainable = Healthier Remodeling by David Decker No matter what you call it – sustainable, eco-friendly or just plain green – a modern bathroom improvement project is about much more than being friendly to Mother Nature’s environment. It’s about being friendly to our family’s health as well. An older bathroom is generally the smallest, dampest, most energy-intensive, water-hogging, chemical-laden, smell-trapping, light-starved, material-sensitive, under-ventilated, traffic-jammedup, malfunction-prone room in any home. And while we all are well aware of the virtues of modern low-flow water fixtures, low-energy light bulbs and recyclable building materials, the basic challenges a bathroom presents to human physical and mental health reach far beyond the scope and effectiveness of surface disinfectants, scrub brushes and toilet bowl cleaners. Granted, the more bathrooms there are in a home, the more convenient it is for the home’s inhabitants. That’s a functional as well as a “mental health” bonus. But bonuses are also numerous in the sanctuary and spa characteristics – increased size, natural lighting, steam showers, heated floors, walled-off toilets, serene motifs and beautiful decorating – designed into today’s custom master bathroom improvements. Home improvement professionals are experienced in explaining sustainability options as comfort and health considerations abound. Ventilation alleviates humidity and excess heat, thus preventing mildew and mold, while controlling

various fumes and smells making for a kinder, gentler, less allergic bathroom environment. And a quiet, efficient modern vent fan on a timer minimizes energy use. Construction materials are critical health factors. For example, fiberboards used in some cabinets emit residual formaldehyde vapors from manufacturing processes. It’s better to go with solid wood or wheatboard cabinetry, or in any case consider how potential allergens could affect your family. Tile floors with recycled content and small grout lines are easy to clean and are resistant to mold, mildew and stains. Many caulks, adhesives, sealants and grouts contain inhibiting compounds that prevent mold and mildew, lessening usage of irritating cleaning agents. That prevents pollution and promotes human health. Be kind to the environment, but don’t forget: we’re part of Mother Nature, too. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies, which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (595-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies. com.

Outdoors Raised-bed gardening for beginners INSIDE & OUT

Commentary by Chris Arney

There are many advantages of raised-bed gardening, including less weeding, earlier planting and higher yields. The philosophy behind this type of gardening is that it maximizes the use of valuable bed space, minimizes the amount of ongoing labor and allows for the use of highquality soil. Raised beds also dry more quickly, tend to have warmer soil and provide a haven for beneficial insects and worms. With all the benefits of a raised-bed garden, it just might be the right choice for you. Here are some tips to start your own raised-bed garden: 1. Start by building a frame to contain the bed. While stones, bricks and blocks will work well, I prefer to use 6-by-6 landscape timbers. Limit the width of the bed to 4 to 5 feet so that you can easily reach into the middle of the bed, and be sure to space the beds far enough apart so that you can easily mow the grass between them. After constructing, backfill the bed with topsoil,

compost, peat moss and other organic matter. Raising the soil level 6 to 8 inches will do wonders for your back! 2. Plant the plants close together so there will be no space for weeds to grow when the garden matures, which will nearly eliminate your maintenance weeding. 3. Install a trellis in the bed to let climbing plants (pole beans, tomatoes and cucumbers) grow above low-level crops like lettuce, squash, zucchini and eggplant. When crops are spent, replant in their stead – there are a few quick-growing crops that can be planted late into the season (radish, lettuce and even beans). 4. Mulch the plants to help keep the soil moist. Add some annual flowers for seasonal color. Raised garden beds can be a great addition to your landscape, providing structure while putting food on the table. Chris Arney is the director of landscaping operations at EA Outdoor Services.

Retrofit makes outdoor spaces more inviting Remodeling by Randy Sorrell Often, tasteful retrofits are designed to expand an existing sterile, underused outdoor living space into a fun magnet. Most of us have some sort of existing patio or deck, but it might simply lack the personality that prompts it to be inviting. Consequently, the sofa sees more action than the patio furniture. As with many exposed aggregate and concrete patios, this one had settled several inches over the years and was too abbreviated for comfort. Dave with AAA Mudjackers (574-1990) was able to successfully level the patio, saving the homeowners several thousand dollars in removal and replacement. Dave has managed several “saves” throughout the years and is nice folk to work with for leveling sidewalks, patios and garage floors. Fun magnet Now the fun begins. The existing patio was nearly doubled in size with a smart design allowing for true red clay pavers to act as the body with a striking blue slate uniform edge. The same red paver was repeated along the sidewalk edge for walkability and drama. The materials married well with the neighborhood, style of home and with the exposed aggregate patio. A natural boulder fire feature and formalized seating wall helps finish the project and confidently delivers an excuse to spend more time outside. Although the seat wall stone is somewhat common, the red clay paver ribbon Eco in and out – Green is the new black, so join the eco-friendly movement by installing a low-flow showerhead, unplugging chargers that are not in use and bringing your own mugs and water bottles instead of using disposable ones. – southernliving.com

and cut limestone cap on the column screams custom and is a friendly cost strategy. Funny thing about fire features and seat walls … they just seem to attract people, particularly when hugged by tasteful landscaping that hints of privacy and elegance. Stately pachysandra groundcover and an authentic sweet bay magnolia are very appropriate here. This quasi-evergreen magnolia produces sporadic vanilla fragrant flowers from late spring through the fall and is one of my favorites. The woods edge was reinforced with a few native shrubs and trees to enhance the effect. From sterile to fun – a classic retrofit! Randy Sorrell is president of SURROUNDINGS by NatureWorks+, a Carmel home improvement firm. He can be reached at 679-2565, randy@ choosesurroundings.com or www. choosesurroundings.com.

Get organized – Do those spring honey-do projects have your toolbox a mess? Cleaning oil and dirt from your tools with a paint thinnersoaked rag, then putting them back in the box in reverse order of popularity are good ways to keep tidy. – almanac.com
