CHS’ Homma named 2012 Indiana Mr. Math By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com Gov. Mitch Daniels made a surprise visit to Carmel High School Thursday to announce CHS senior Youkow Homma as the 2012 Indiana Mr. Math. The award, created by Daniels in 2008, recognizes the state’s top high school talent in math and science. Award criteria included SAT and ACT scores, prizes and grades received in math and science courses. “There has never been a time in history when mathematics and the science it allows has been more important to human progress,” Daniels said prior to presenting Homma with the award and a $2,000 scholarship. Homma is the son of Michi and Emiko Homma, and intends to attend Yale University in the fall to study mathematics and physics. “It’s a great honor,” Homma said. “It’s something that never would have occurred in my wildest dreams.” Homma has always been attracted to math, he said. “I just think it’s beautiful how numbers work,” he said. “Especially abstract math. It’s very intangible.”
Monon Community Center expands waterpark editorial@youarecurrent.com
INDOT awards bridge contract for Monon over 146th Street – INDOT is awarding a contract to construct a pedestrian bridge over 146th Street. INDOT selected Rieth-Riley Construction to build the five-span steel truss bridge, which will carry the Monon Trail Greenway 428 feet across and 17 feet over 146th Street at Rohrer Road. The Goshen-based company submitted the lowest of five bids at $2,566,800. Hamilton County is sponsoring the Local Public Agency (LPA) project, which uses federal funds to cover approximately 80 percent of costs. The remaining 20 percent is locally funded. A construction schedule will be established in the near future. The project is expected to be completed by May 2013. For more information on the project, visit Hamilton County’s project page.
The Monon Community Center will debut its new FlowRider attraction this weekend, allowing patrons to experience the first simulated-surfing ride in the state. The attraction is a simulated wave created by two giant motors pushing 30,000 gallons of water up a trampoline-like ramp every minute. This quick flow of water allows riders to body board or surf standing up on the ride surface. Riders must be 48 inches tall to body board and 52 inches tall to surf standing. Access to the FlowRider is included with daily admission to the Monon Community Center. Boards and vests are provided for all riders. For more information about the FlowRider or other aquatic programs, visit www.carmelclayparks.com/monon-community-center/facilities/ waterpark.

School bus crashes into Carmel residence – Carmel police were dispatched to a crash Wednesday morning involving a school bus colliding with a house. When officers arrived, they found Carmel School Bus No. 111 crashed partially through the garage of a house in the 13000 block of Tarkington Commons. No students were on the bus and no one in the house was injured. The driver, Jack David Thomas, was taken to the hospital by the Carmel Fire Dept. after being freed from the bus. He was treated and released with minor injuries. After an investigation, the bus was found to have no mechanical defects that would have caused the crash. Upon further investigation of evidence at the scene and on the bus, it was determined that the driver ran off the road while making a left-hand turn onto Gray Road from Main Street. When the front tire went off the road, the bus bounced. It was determined that the driver was not wearing his seat belt and lost control of the bus when he was bounced out of his seat. The driver tried to regain control of the bus, but was unable to before going off the road again and crashing through a fence, trees, a play set and a house.

News New law restricts access to criminal records COMMUNITY
Renderings released for Mormon church in Carmel By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com
Law by Carl Brizzi
Under Indiana’s new law, applicants for jobs no longer have to agonize over whether to be truthful about arrests and minor convictions during an interview. The prior “expungement statute” in Indiana was limited, and it primarily only provided relief to people who were arrested but not charged with a crime. The new Indiana law, however, allows a person to petition a court to restrict access to criminal records. The new law does not prevent the police from being able to access the records; however, if a court grants the petition and the records are restricted, you may legally state on an application for employment that you have not been arrested for or convicted of a crime. The new law applies to people who were charged with crimes but were not convicted, and to those with convictions of relatively minor offenses that do not result in injury (such as DUI and public intoxication). A convicted person becomes eligible eight years after they have completed all obligations of their sentence, and someone not convicted of a criminal charge becomes eligible in 30 days or one year, depending on whether there was a dismissal or they were found not guilty. This new law gives something more than lip service to the idea of second chances and will allow those who have made and – paid for – mistakes to be competitive in the job market.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released renderings last week of a temple to be built on the southwest corner of 116th Street and Spring Mill Road in Carmel. Plans for the temple were first announced in October 2010, and the location was released in January 2011. The temple will serve the entire Indianapolis area. Mormon temples are typically open to the public only on the day of their dedication, after which they are closed to all but formally dedicated members of the church. Some temples include meetinghouses, which do allow public access. There are an estimated 41,000 members of the LDS church in Indiana, according to statistics compiled by the Indianapolis Indiana Mormon Temple. Groundbreaking for the projected 22,000-23,000-square-foot temple is expected to occur in September of this year. More information about the temple can be found online at www.indianapolismormontemple.com.

Small business expo visits Carmel By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com The Ritz Charles hosted the U.S. Small Business Conference & Expo last week, designed to connect small businesses with one another. The expo is an event that travels throughout the U.S. bringing resources, training and development. This year’s theme was “2012 Success Plans.” “We love working with small businesses, because so often they’re overlooked by larger printers,” said Amber Shaffer, owner of Green Bug Graphics, a full-service marketing firm that had a booth at the expo. “A lot of small-business
owners just don’t know what’s out there for them. Events like this are great because they meet other businesses that have their best interests at heart.” Tony Scelzo, president of Stringcan, a content marketing firm, was invited to speak at the event, which gave the business extra exposure, according to its director of marketing, Tiffany Daniel. “We’re a startup, so connecting with other small businesses is important to us,” Daniel said.

Cover story
Danny O’Malia reflects on watching Carmel ‘grow up’ through the windows of his family’s supermarket By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com In 1970, Joe O’Malia began his business’ northward shift by opening a grocery store in Carmel – at the time a town hovering around 6,000 population. The location O’Malia chose was at 126th Street and Gray Road. At the beginning, the store’s neighbors were cornfields, remembers O’Malia’s son, Danny. “Keystone used to just stop dead at 86th Street,” Danny O’Malia said. “It was just cornfields. But they were going to continue it, and my dad said that and the Carmel schools were going to bring tons more people.” The 1970 store was the first of three that would eventually open in Carmel, along with several more across Hamilton County. The O’Malias moved their business’ headquarters to a spot along Ind. 32 in Noblesville. The northside was where their customers were, O’Malia remembers his father telling him, so the northside was where they were going to be. “Carmel was on its way, if you will,” O’Malia said. “So as Carmel grew, we grew with it.”
Working for Dad
O’Malia now leverages lessons learned from his father into a keynote-speaking business, teaching others the keys to Joe O’Malia’s customer service success. But in the ’70s, O’Malia was primed to take a different path. After graduating from Cathedral High School, he went to Xavier University, where he earned a degree in education. He moved back to Indianapolis to teach English, and helped out in the supermarkets on nights and weekends when he could. “Dad said, ‘You can work for me or you can keep teaching. I just want you to do your best,’” O’Malia remembered. After six years as a teacher, O’Malia decided to take his father up on his offer, going back to work full time for the store and eventually becoming president of the company, which had grown to a nine-store operation. The O’Malia’s clover-leaf logo maintained a steady presence on the north side through 2001, when, after years of increasing operations costs and competition from national supermarket chains, the company was sold to Marsh. “We said, 'We can’t do this forever,'” O’Malia remembered. “We had been able to be the little guy for a while and drive people like Marsh and Kroger crazy. But, things had changed.”
O’Malia stayed on as president of the O’Malia’s division at Marsh until 2006, when he left the company following a corporate restructuring by Sun Capital Investments, brought in to save the flagging supermarket chain.
Carmel roots
In 1977, O’Malia followed the rest of his family and moved to Carmel with his wife. Some 35 years later, the O’Malia’s supermarket at 126th Street and Gray Road still stands with the clover-leaf logo, and O’Malia still lives in the community he watched grow up. From his vantage point, O’Malia said he isn’t surprised at Carmel’s growth during the past three decades. But, according to O’Malia, even when it was a small town, Carmel was ahead of the curve. “When you moved to Indianapolis, say for Eli Lilly, where would you want to come?” O’Malia said. “Carmel was way ahead of everything else. And entrepreneurial people concurred with Joe O’Malia that Carmel was the place to be.” And though Keystone Avenue was eventually extended through Carmel to 146th Street, O’Malia points first and foremost to the school system when giving credit for the city’s growth. “The high school has had 100 state championships since that first one, which was the golf team in ’70,” O’Malia said. “In Indiana, where sports are huge, that’s a big thing.” O’Malia’s professional net now spans beyond Carmel and Hamilton County – he hosts the Indy’s Trusted Servant show on Radio Indy Small Biz every Tuesday at 4 p.m. – but he says he feels no compulsion to leave the city he made his home in 1977. “We’ll probably be here until we can’t climb the steps anymore,” O’Malia said. Matthew Williams contributed to this report.
“When you moved to Indianapolis, say for Eli Lilly, where would you want to come. Carmel was way ahead of everything else.” 12 | May 29, 2012

To the Class of 2012: Believe in yourself It is our position that good luck, good will and good fortune be bestowed upon the Class of 2012, for they are unique in their own way. They began their primary education at the turn of the century, riding the wave of the Y2K scare. A few years later, America experienced the deadliest attack on U.S. soil that forever changed our country. It’s a class whose normal view of the world is being at war. They are perhaps one of the most technologically well-versed classes to date. They’ve grown up in the spotlight by expressing themselves to the world through social media. The information-age, Google kids are now young adults armed with a diploma, ready to move on to the next phase in life – learning how to make a living in a weakened economy. The best advice may be found in the “How Communities Form” chapter of their social studies books from grade school. Be industrious. Be creative. Be entrepreneurial. Don’t be afraid of hard work. Take risks. In the words of author and psychologist Richard Carlson, “Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff.” Lyricist Johnny Mercer wrote quite simply, “Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative.” Finally, believe in yourself.

It's Greek to me
Commentary by Terry Anker
While traveling with a group speaking in various cities in the Middle East and Eastern Europe on the Austrian School of Economics, I found myself in Greece at the very time that its government is up-for-grabs and its economy is on the verge of collapse. The 350 or more folks that packed an auditorium in Thessaloniki (the second largest city after Athens) were concerned about the future of the country and its participation in the European Union. That night at a late dinner, I found myself sitting next to an affable Greek man whose spouse had served on the local organizing committee for the day’s events. After discovering that his sister had attended IU, our conversation ultimately turned to economics. He asserted that the highest form of humanity thus far to inhabit our spinning rock were the ancient Greeks. He suggested that they spent their time in pursuit of enlightenment, not the avarice befalling (his words) the West today. He claimed that rampant materialism is the order
of the day. Hmm. Didn’t those ancient men all have slaves to serve their material needs freeing them for other interests? Well, he conceded that slavery wasn’t ideal, but defended the short workday and early retirement of many Greeks. Then, I asked, were modern Greeks, by failing to address their significant debt to the rest of the EU while continuing to demand financial support, simply resting on the toil of others, specifically the Germans? Had the Teutonic people become slaves to a fresh Greek leisure class? My companion smiled and responded, well maybe. Besides, he continued, the EU should never have allowed Greece to borrow from the beginning, so they deserved it. Yet, as I reflected on our own growing deficit, I wondered if our generation is enslaving the next. Somehow, it doesn’t feel right.

After years of begging, pleading and cajoling, we finally got our way. At least we’d like to believe that! We’ve long lobbied for a pedestrian bridge connecting the Monon Trail Greenway from the West 146th Street terminus of the Carmel portion to the beginning of the Westfield segment. Given the risks pedestrians, runners and cyclists face daily with oncoming traffic in general and inattentive drivers specifically, we’re ecstatic that the Hamilton County Commissioners and INDOT got together to make this a coming reality. Soon, the honking horns and screeching-tire sounds will be a thing of the past; we hope it’s soon enough. Too often, we have witnessed vehicles blazing through a red light and turning right on red from northbound Rohrer Road. Results could have been disastrous. The $2,566,800 span (money well spent, we might add) will be 428 feet across and 17 feet above 146th. Rieth-Riley Construction of Goshen had the winning bid to build the steel-truss span. A formal construction schedule is forthcoming, but INDOT said it expects project completion by next May. One additional request, please: No gaudy neon lighting! ••• You’re receiving Current today, because Monday is a postal holiday.

Lesson learned Laughs by Danielle Wilson
I know I just wrote an amazing column on planning the ultimate Mother’s Day, but for some reason, I didn’t heed my own advice. Stupid! Here’s what went down. For starters, I had two unsanctioned events scheduled, so I knew enjoying the day would prove challenging. Our oldest had a soccer game at 1 (with the potential to play in the championship at 6) and a daughter had volleyball at 12:30. (I’m sorry, but who schedules youth sporting events on Mother’s Day? That’s my day, damn it!) So my “plan” for Mother’s Day went something like this: Maybe squeeze in DSW in the morning and then perhaps hit Castleton late afternoon, followed by Panera or possibly an evening flick. Or, bag all shopping and plant flowers. Note: At no time prior to Mother’s Day did I discuss any of this with Doo, nor outline my expectations for him and the kids, which is why it all went to hell fairly quickly. I woke up and came down to a pile of dishes. My children did wish me a happy Mother’s Day, but that was the extent of their “Be Nice to Mom” agenda. When I asked for my cards/gifts/ clay ashtrays, I got five blank stares. Then I casually announced that eggs and bacon sounded
good, but no one took the hint. Shortly thereafter I left for Clay Terrace, only to end up brooding in my mini-van because the stores didn’t open until eleven. I flew by the house at noon to grab my girls for volleyball, help Doo pack up the boys and confirm that the kitchen was still a pit. My daughter won, but unfortunately, so did my futbol star. Now I was really in a quandary. I could either skip his big match and wallow in guilt and buttered popcorn, or sacrifice the remainder of the day to support him. Regrettably, my motherly instincts prevailed. I did manage a Macy’s moment before the game, and was able to spend his warm-up eating soup with Doo, but we didn’t get home until 8:30, just in time to prep lunches. The last straw? Doo’s comment as I was sulking upstairs: “I think we’re just too busy for you to have Mother’s Day anymore.” Pause for effect. But, we live and learn, and things will go differently next year. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a Carmel resident and contributing columnist. You may e-mail her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

What are the chances? Laughs by Dick Wolfsie
Great news for people who drink coffee. Especially, if they drink lots of it. Apparently, it’s a healthy beverage option, even better than tea. But not as good as a vegetable smoothie with a raw egg and a lump of tofu in it. I started loving coffee when I was a toddler. My dad often poured a few drops from his morning cup into my glass of milk. My mother, always concerned about her children’s health and safety, took me to the pediatrician to ask if this small dose of caffeine was potentially harmful for a 6-year-old. Dr. Barnes said it wasn’t, so we got back in the car where I crawled around in the back seat as my mother drove 80 miles an hour while smoking half a pack of Camels. According to USA Today, pouring yourself several servings a day can reduce your chances of dying by 10 percent. I have read similar stats that sing the praises of walnuts, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kiwi, dark cherries, wearing a bike helmet, 20 minutes of exercise a day, and getting eight hours sleep. I’m a devotee of all those items on the list, so I now figure I have a 100 percent chance of not dying. Usually I scoff at data like this, but this is compelling stuff. Statistics don’t lie. By the way, I hope that “pouring” was the operative word. Yesterday, for example, while
Get Beach-Confident & Bikini-Ready. Get Exilis.
working on this column, I poured myself six cups of coffee. But I didn’t drink six cups. There’s a mug still in the basement, a full serving on the back porch, two filled Styrofoam cups sitting on top of my car, and my “Best Dad” mug is three quarters filled and parked in front of the bathroom mirror. Studies also show that drinking coffee increases short-term memory. But I guess you have to actually drink the stuff if you want to recall where you left your Folgers in the house. In one part of the research the scientists caution you to remember that all the news about coffee is not good. For example, doctors still suspect there may be one ingredient in a cup of coffee that can raise your cholesterol. Yes, that would be the cream. You’re welcome. Breaking news! While fact checking, scientists found a flaw in the research. Apparently, most of the studies were done based on interviews at Starbucks. It is now believed that coffee has no effect on longevity, but people are apt to live longer if they can get free Wi-Fi.

In the junk drawer Laughs by Mike Redmond
I was digging through my desk the other day and found a receipt for gasoline from 1984. This was back in the days when the attendant came out to your car and asked, “Fill ‘er up?” which I apparently did. It was 11.3 gallons. Which, I should tell you, did not go very far back then, seeing as I was driving a Pontiac TransAm with the Extra Testosterone Package and the Ridiculous Performance Group. Anyway, the receipt tells me I paid the princely sum of $16 for those 11.3 gallons of gas. Sixteen United States of America dollars for gasoline priced at $1.40.9 per gallon, plus tax. Wow. How times have changed. I gave up TransAmnification years ago for the more sedate travel experience of the pickup truck. Not long ago, I drove to Northern Indiana to give a speech. On the way back, I had to fill up my truck. It took half my speaking fee. I am not kidding. I need to raise my rates. Anyway, that’s the world we live in today. Which makes me kind of glad I kept that gas receipt. Actually, I’ve kept a lot of stuff, now that I dig around a bit. You know how some people have junk drawers? I have a junk desk. Here’s a short inventory from the top drawer: • One French-English dictionary from the
seventh grade. • A letter opener that belonged to my grandfather. • Two buttons I snagged covering the 1980 Republican National Convention: “Dick Lugar for Vice President” and “Reagan/ Lugar.” • A McGovern button from 1972. (I don’t seem to be on much of a winning streak, political-button-wise.) • Pencils that may go back to the Jurassic Period, also known as elementary school. I’m going to have them carbon-dated. • A set of keys for that TransAm. Wow. This isn’t a desk. It’s a time capsule. I don’t know whether to donate it to the Smithsonian or bury it in the backyard. Or maybe I’ll keep it for the time when reality TV, with the shows about people bidding on storage spaces and lost luggage, finally gets around to producing “American Junk Drawer.” Who knows? By then, the stuff in my desk might be valuable enough for me to buy a tank of gas.

Collaborative Law is an alternative dispute resolution process in which the parties retain separate attorneys whose primary function is to help them reach an agreed settlement. The parties and their attorneys collaborate in good faith, and commit to communicate respectfully and honestly to represent the legitimate needs of both parties. The parties agree not to litigate, nor threaten to do so, and if that should occur, the Collaborative Law process terminates and both attorneys are disqualified from any further involvement in the case. Attorneys hired for a Collaborative Law matter cannot continue to represent their respective clients in a litigated case. Collaborative Law is not the best option for everyone. The best candidates for the collaborative process are parties who: • Want a civilized, respectful resolution of the issues. • Would like to keep open the possibility of a friendship with the other party. • Will be co-parenting children together and want the best co-parenting relationship possible. • Want to protect their children from the harm associated with protracted, contested litigation. • Have a circle of friends and family in common. • Have ethical or spiritual beliefs that place high value on personal responsibility and integrity. • Value privacy in personal affairs. • Value control and autonomous decision-making and do not want to hand over decisions about financial distribution and/or child-rearing arrangements to a stranger (i.e., a judge). •Recognize the restricted range of outcomes generally available in the court system, and want a more creative and individualized range of choices available for resolving your issues (provided such are compliant with all rules and guidelines). • Place as much or more value on the relationships that will exist in the restructured family situation versus a priority of obtaining the maximum possible amount of assets. • Understand that conflict resolution with integrity involves achieving mutual, reasonable goals.

The Nickel Plate Arts Weekend is bringing local art, food and culture outdoors this weekend By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com This weekend, artists and local artisans will take part in the Nickel Plate Arts Weekend. The weekend is composed of more than 30 separate events across Noblesville, Fishers, Tipton, Arcadia and Cicero. The planned events include fine art exhibits, interactive art locations, local food and train rides. “The Nickel Plate Arts Weekend emerged out of the Hamilton County Artist Association’s Plein Air Paint-Out. Many area artists knew that this is not an event to miss. We saw that as an opportunity for something that Nickel Plate Arts could adopt and spin off from,” said Betsy Jones, interim director of Nickel Plate Arts and director of tourism development for the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau. Nickel Plate Arts, the organization responsible for the weekend, is spinning off from the
Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau into its own nonprofit organization that will act as a single hub from which a number of area artists, local galleries, festivals and other organizations can collaborate to further the arts throughout Hamilton County and central Indiana. This weekend is the first major step in that collaboration. “We commissioned 16 different local artists to paint large, outdoor umbrellas. Those umbrellas will be spread across the five communities (during the weekend) and will be accompanied by information, volunteers, artists and musicians,” said Jones. The public will have a chance to view all 16 umbrellas from 9 a.m. to noon this Friday at the Noblesville Square. While the HCAA’s fourth annual Plein Air Paint-Out is one of the weekend’s main events, other highlights include Noblesville’s Old Mill Festival, the Art Train from Noblesville to
Cicero, Arcadia and Tipton, Main Street’s Jazz Squared and the Nickel Plate Arts Campus Preview at the historic Judge Stone House. “We saw this weekend as our chance to enhance the Plein Air Paint-Out with more interactive elements and reasons to travel around the county. We aren’t looking to create something from nothing,” said Jones. “We are looking at what is bubbling up around us and what is already deeply embedded in our communities. We want to cultivate and enhance that.” In the future, Nickel Plate Arts is planning to host classes in a wide variety of areas such as visual art, music and poetry. “Our goal is to make art available and obvious. We want it to be accessible,” said Jones.

NIGHT & DAY Game Review Diablo III is a strong game wrapped in technical problems and utter inconvenience Commentary by Christian Sorrell It has been more than 12 years since its predecessor, but Diablo III is finally here. Following in the footsteps of other titles like Starcraft II, Blizzard, the game’s developer, has created something that is very much another Diablo game. For many, that will be a great thing. This time around, there are five different classes to pick from: the Witch Doctor, the Barbarian, the Wizard, the Monk and the Demon Hunter. Overall, the gameplay is the same as before, but the skill trees have been entirely reworked and simplified. For veteran players, it may feel like the game has been dumbed down with these changes, and I wouldn’t say that’s entirely inaccurate. In an attempt to fight online piracy, Blizzard requires Diablo III to be connected to the Internet at all times, even while playing single player and not utilizing any of the online functions in any way. This is, for the most part, unprecedented and honestly, it is the main reason for most of the game’s problems up to this point. This always-online connection requirement means that when Blizzard’s servers are down, players are completely unable to play the game. When they suffer any sort of connection issue on their end, the players will be pushed back to the game’s main menu instantly. When playing

alone, you will still experience lag from time to time, as if you were playing an online game. Ultimately, Diablo III is an easy game to recommend to fans of the series and newcomers alike … when it works, which so far has not been very often. Hopefully Blizzard will iron out the kinks, and we will all be demon slaying consistently for weeks to come. Diablo III is on sale now at local video game retailers and online at Diablo3.com.

Film “Coriolanus” • R, 123 minutes
Laura, Austin & Liam Walls
Palatial Air Commentary by Chris Lloyd
Shakespeare has rarely translated well to film, and even when it does – “Shakespeare in Love,” “Romeo + Juliet” – it’s usually in a modernistic, revisionist way that steps outside the rigid confines of the Bard’s plays. And the reason is simple: with nigh on half a millennium separating our version of the English from his, it’s very difficult for anyone who’s not a Ph.D. in literature to comprehend just what the heck the characters are saying. “Coriolanus,” based on one of Shakespeare’s lesser-known works, lies somewhere in between. The dialogue is tweaked enough to make it so the layman can follow along, but the bones of the story are still there. Ralph Fiennes, who also makes his directing
debut, plays the title character, an over-proud general just returned triumphant to Rome. He thinks his honor has won him the right to become consul, but the common people do not love him, and scheming politicians maneuver to rob him of the title. Enraged, Coriolanus joins forces with his mortal enemy to wage war against the empire. It’s grandiose, bombastic stuff, and both Fiennes and Vanessa Redgrave were passed over for Academy Award nominations they probably deserved.

Recommendation: Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir 2010 ($20) Pinot Noir is one of the best wines to pair with cherries, mostly because the flavor itself is reminiscent of sweet red berries, plums and cherries.

Caring for Alzheimer’s Home Instead Senior Care hopes free workshop will educate, help individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease By Jordan Fischer • jordan@youarecurrent.com Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease can be a challenging experience, and many in that position suffer from a lack of know-how, according to Jeff Sewell. “The public, individuals caring for people who need assistance are desperate for information,” said Sewell, owner of the North Indianapolis Home Instead Senior Care office. To help individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, Sewell’s office will hold its first, free family education workshop Thursday. The workshop will provide attendees with information and techniques used by professional caregivers for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. “Once a person’s been diagnosed, a lot of people think it’s an immediate sentence that they’ll have to leave home and live in a facility,” Sewell said. “We’re trying to tell people that you can care for them at home in surroundings that will be familiar.” The free program is part of a shift at Home Instead Senior Care in how its caregivers serve Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. The new model is dubbed Changing Aging through Research and Education, or CARE for short. A big part of the model is the Life Journal, which is a collection of information and personal history about the patient that caregivers can use to engage patients. “A lot of times Alzheimer’s patients love to live in the
By the numbers • There are an estimated 5.4 million people with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia in the U.S. today – a figure that’s projected to increase to more than 13 million by 2025. • In 2000, there were an estimated 100,000 dementia patients in Indiana alone. Today, there are more than 120,000, and will be a projected 130,000 by 2025 – a 30 percent increase over a 25-year period. • It’s estimated that one out of every seven individuals with dementia lives alone, and as much as 41 percent of them may remain undiagnosed. past,” Sewell sad. “Many of them can tell you their rank and serial number when they served in the military, but struggle with more recent memories.” The journal allows caregivers to tap into these memories to connect with their patients, an experience similar to one Sewell said he had with his own grandmother. “My grandma, as she aged, had trouble communicating,” he said. “Ironically, she kept her own journal, so when I visited I could read it and have something to talk to her about.” Sewell said he hopes the workshop will provide caregivers some universal tools to deal with their individual situations. “There’s no one situation like the other,” he said. “Every individual is going to progress at a different rate and experience different symptoms.” The free, family education workshop is Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Home Instead Senior Care Nora location, 941 E. 86th St., Suite 250, Indianapolis. More information is available by calling 252-472, or visiting www.homeinstead.com/141. An RSVP is requested for the event.

Medicare myths revealed Finance by Adam Cmejla
It’s time to lift the hood and examine Medicare, more specifically some common myths and misunderstandings that we see in our conversations with clients. A recent study found that 27 percent of pre-retiree respondents didn’t know how their health care expenses would change in retirement once enrolled in Medicare, and 65 percent of newly retired individuals (ages 65 to 75) say they pay the same or more for health care in retirement. Let’s examine four myths and facts about Medicare. Myth #1: Medicare is mandatory. Medicare is not mandatory. If you are an employee or the spouse of a covered employee and the current company has more than 20 employees, you are able to continue coverage under that group’s plan. Everyone else must enroll at age 65 or face a penalty. Myth #2: I’m automatically enrolled in Medicare. Medicare is not automatic, except if you are already receiving Social Security benefits. If you are not receiving Social Security benefits, you must enroll during open enrollment. Open enrollment is the three-month window leading up to your 65th birthday, the month of your birthday and the three months after. If you are covered under a group plan, you have up to seven months after group coverage ends to en-
roll without penalty. Myth #3: All medical costs are covered under Medicare. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, (non-medically driven) dental and eye exams, hearing aids, cosmetic surgery, billed services over Medicare-approved amounts and amounts not covered by deductibles and coinsurance (20 percent) are all the responsibility of the insured, not Medicare. This is why supplemental insurance is a key planning discussion (otherwise referred to as “medigap” policies). Myth #4: Medical expenses aren’t that much higher in retirement. Medicare premiums start at $99.90 per person and increase as one’s income increases. Add to that outof-pocket costs, prescription drug coverage, copayments, coinsurance, deductibles and supplemental premiums, and it’s easy to see how medical care must be a major planning piece in everyone’s retirement planning situation. If you haven’t already, make sure you sit down with a qualified professional to discuss these and many other scenarios that are likely to impact your retirement plan.

‘Elder plastic surgery’ becoming more common Commentary by Dr. Barry Eppley Q: I have lost weight and now have more neck skin than ever. I am 76 years young and still have a lot of living to do. I am very healthy, dance regularly and just feel like I should look better. Am I too old for a neck lift? A: Your age of 76 is certainly not a limiting factor in having face-lift or neck-lift surgery. As long as you are healthy and your doctor clears you for surgery, there is no reason not to enjoy the outcome of having your neck wattle removed. It would be fair to say that the result obtained will last you for much of your remaining years. The concept of “elder plastic surgery” is becoming more common as people are living longer and in better health than ever before. There is no age limit in feeling and looking good. Some surgical judgment, however, has to be exercised as to how extensive these procedures should be. It is obviously better to have some improvement done safely than a perfect result that has medical complications. Q: While having sex with my husband he leaned on my breast and it caused some immediate pain. For the past few days now, I have had lingering pain, although it has gotten better. That breast also feels a little harder now. Could I have a breast implant rupture? I had silicone implants placed three years ago.
A: Your question is actually a common one, and let me provide an overall explanation. The shell or bag of a breast implant is made of a very flexible but strong silicone elastomer material. It is designed knowing full well that it will regularly be exposed to a compressive crushing force … known as a mammogram. Any woman who has ever had a mammogram can testify to the fact that their breast is really squashed between two paddles during the procedure. Millions of breast implants are exposed to mammograms every year in the U.S. and around the world, and there is no evidence that they induce rupture unless the implant shell has already been weakened. So it is highly unlikely that rupture of breast implants can occur as a result of sexual activity. It takes a high energy force to rupture a breast implant such as might occur from an automobile accident or other traumatic injury. What you are likely feeling is a mild bruise around the implant capsule, which should go away in a few weeks. If in doubt, an MRI or a high-definition ultrasound will be needed to answer the breast implant rupture question conclusively. Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Move the needle – simplify Commentary by CJ McClanahan
As I write this message, Facebook has just completed its first day of trading on the NASDAQ and closed $.23 above its opening price of $38. Already there are dozens of “Was Facebook Overhyped” stories flying all over the Internet. Last night, I had a long drive from a client and I listened to more than two hours of sports talk radio. In this time span, I heard at least five different explanations about why Steve Blake, and not Kobe Bryant, took the last shot in the Lakers game. It’s not enough to simply look at each of these issues and say – “Facebook opened on the NASDAQ” or “the Lakers lost.” Unfortunately, with a 24-hour news cycle and hundreds of outlets all competing for attention, the media make everything complex. This applies to all areas of our lives. Simple is no longer acceptable. As a result, when sales begin to slow in business, we assume it’s time for new products, services and marketing strategies. The next thing you know, we’ve added 10 menu items and signed up for a corporate Pinterest account. If these newest additions don’t immediately move the needle, we’ll add some more. It never seems to end. But in business, less is often more. The best example of this philosophy is the
most profitable and valuable company on the planet – Apple. While their competitors continue to add products by the bushel, Apple has chosen to keep it simple. They have five main products (iPad, iPod, iPhone, Mac and iTunes) – that is it. Steve Jobs’ autobiographer, Walter Isaacson, pointed out that Jobs was obsessed with simplicity and believed that, “Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.” We can learn a lot from Jobs’ philosophy. Start by listing and ranking your products and services. Which is the most profitable? Which one generates the most sales? Which one are you the best at delivering? Which one is easiest to sell? Next, ask yourself where you spend the most time. Is it with the products/services that are easy to sell and generate the most profit, or those that barely break even and have a long sales cycle? I’ve done this a handful of times since starting my company nine years ago. Each time, I ended up completely eliminating one of my offerings, which quickly led to less stress and more profit. As with most things in life, the solution is simple. All you need to do is execute.

Memorial Day: Remembering why we are free Honoring those who died for freedom animates our American tradition of Memorial Day. Its history and meaning are profound. After the Civil War, both the South and the North – independently of each other and with efforts driven primarily by women’s groups – decorated the graves of fallen soldiers. States of the Confederacy and the Union began informally setting aside various “Decoration Day” and “Memorial Day” holidays to remember their war dead. Events were generally in the spring, mostly in May, and largely local. Union General John Logan is credited with declaring the first “Memorial Day,” and on May 30, 1868, Union and Confederate graves at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C. were decorated with flowers. The date stuck. Scattered observances became an annual, cohesive and inclusive American memorial to the cost of freedom. Since 1911, Indianapolis has been host to the Mother of All Memorial Day Celebrations, the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Dubbed “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” in the 1950s by “Voice of the 500” radio announcer Sid Collins, the “500” was on Memorial Day only because in 1910 Indianapolis organizers had run day-long, multi-race events on the three summer holidays, and Memorial Day had the largest crowd. So in 1911, promoters decided to have just one race date, Memorial Day, with just one spectacular
P O T S P
™
race. Wanting an all-day event for the picnicking spectators, and knowing that cars of the era raced 75 to 80 mph, organizers did the math (7 hours at 75 to 80 mph) and inaugurated a 500-mile race called “The International Sweepstakes.” Over time it became known as The Indianapolis 500. But I digress. And that’s my point. Too often, easily and quickly, we identify with the fun, secular trappings of holidays: Easter eggs, Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas trees, the “500,” etc. We focus on the party. And personally, I love the “500.” But deeper truths about humanity and our relationship with God undergird the significance of this particular holiday. Memorial Day isn’t just honoring American war dead at a public event. It’s the reverent act of remembering why they died – freedom. War reveals more about human nature than about God’s eternal plan. In our fallen earthly existence, human freedom is something for which we have to fight and sometimes die. Jesus Christ on the Cross fulfilled God’s loving plan to defeat death (John 3:16) and restore eternal freedom (Galatians 5:1). As Americans on Memorial Day, let’s remember that eternal freedom is what motivated America’s founders.

Largest Greek island creates Crete expectations Commentary by Don Knebel The inhabitants of Crete, the largest Greek island, have long suffered a strange libel. The biblical letter to Titus says, “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.” Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel scene of the Last Judgment shows the Cretan King Minos with a serpent wrapped around him, judging the damned as they fall into Hell. But Cretans (not to be confused with cretins) got the last laugh in 1900 when English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans uncovered on Crete the heart of an advanced civilization existing hundreds of years before civilization came to the Greek mainland. This once-forgotten civilization, now labeled “Minoan” in honor of King Minos, is literally the stuff of legend. Modern travelers to Crete can visit the restored Minoan palace of Knossos, near the modern city of Heraklion. That large complex, built between 1700 and 1400 B.C., eventually contained more than 1,300 interlocking rooms on multiple levels. It is the likely source of the ancient myth of the labyrinth, where King Minos is said to have kept the half-bull, half-man Minotaur. The Minoans were the first sea-farers, with ships carrying both goods and culture around the Mediterranean. Exported Minoan pottery has been found as far east as the Mediterranean coast of modern Israel. In fact, some people

The original Labyrinth think that the Philistines who settled along that coast were actually Minoans who fled Crete when a volcanic eruption destroyed their cities, perhaps giving rise to the legend of Atlantis. Cretans and King Minos have regained their good reputations. But be warned that the Greek islands were not created equal. If you long to see where European civilization really began, where the Minotaur was kept and where the legend of Atlantis may have started, a trip to Crete would

Sour greats: Vinegar a wonder food Pets by John Mikesell
Apple cider vinegar and other vinegars have many uses for healthy dogs. People have been using vinegar for thousands of years, and while most of it goes into salads and condiments, vinegar can be used as a household cleanser, cosmetic aid and health treatment. Many dog lovers add vinegar to their pets’ food or apply it topically to their best friends. Advocates call vinegar, especially unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar, a wonder food. Vinegar has long been used as a first-aid treatment. Many natural health experts prefer raw organic apple cider vinegar for topical applications, including muscle aches, bruises, sunburn, windburn, abrasions, insect bites, stings and even hair care (controlling dandruff and controlling static). Nearly all of vinegar’s human uses can be applied to pets.
Explore the uses of raw organic apple cider vinegar and distilled white vinegar for improved health and household applications: • Spray kitchens surfaces, raw meat and produce with vinegar and hydrogen peroxide (spray separately, one after the other) for thorough disinfecting. • Use apple cider vinegar as a nontoxic flea dip. • Add apple cider vinegar to shampoo or final rinse for coat conditioning and deodorizing. • Apply full strength or diluted cider to cuts, abrasions, calluses, bruises, sore pads or muscle strains. • Make your on herbal tinctures with cider vinegar for improved digestion or topical application. For more on using vinegar as a pet care staple, read “Apple Cider Vinegar: Miracle Health System,” or “Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog.” To really learn more about the health benefits of vinegar, talk with your dog’s health care professional.

In Indiana, what was historically referred to as alimony is now termed “spousal maintenance.” Parties going through a divorce should be advised that there are two (2) types of spousal maintenance: (1) temporary spousal maintenance, which may be ordered to be paid by one party during the pendency of the divorce; and (2) spousal maintenance after entry of the final Decree of Dissolution by the court. Temporary maintenance can be ordered by a court at the preliminary hearing or agreed upon by the parties. The purpose of this order is to allow the parties to maintain the “status quo” in order to meet all financial obligations during the pendency of the divorce. When determining whether an award of temporary maintenance is appropriate, courts may consider which party will be living in the marital home with the children during the pendency of the divorce and any discrepancy in the parties’ earnings or income in relation to the existing marital obligations. When appropriate, the court may order one party to pay the other’s obligations, such as the monthly mortgage, utilities on the marital residence, car payment, or minimum monthly payments on credit cards. Post-dissolution spousal maintenance may be ordered to be paid after the court’s entry of the Decree of Dissolution in three (3) circumstances (absent an agreement to the contrary.); (1) if a party is incapacitated due to a physical or mental disability such that they cannot work and support themselves; (2) if a

child of the marriage is disabled and the party taking on primary care and custody of that child will not be able to work to support himself/ herself, and the child due to the caretaking responsibilities which are required; and (3) if “rehabilitative maintenance” is deemed appropriate when one spouse is required to further his/her education or training prior to a re-entry into the workforce due to the fact that their education, training or employment was interrupted for homemaking or child rearing reasons. Under Indiana law, rehabilitative maintenance may only be ordered to be paid for up to a period three (3) years. If you would like to request an award of spousal maintenance, it would be beneficial to speak with attorney who has had experience in such matters given the fact that a spousal maintenance award is extremely fact-sensitive. A maintenance request should be made only when appropriate so as to avoid unnecessary delay in resolving your case, as it could lead to potential conflicts which otherwise can distract the parties from reaching a reasonable settlement. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs. If you have questions or concerns regarding divorce, custody, support, maintenance or any other family law concerns, please contact our firm at 317.DIVORCE or visit our website at www.hzlegal.com.

Sharp blades, sharp lawn Commentary by Chris Arney Mower blades will dull over time, which can have a negative impact on lawns and lawn mowers. Dull blades require more energy to cut and increase the wear and tear on your lawn mower. Over time, using less-than-sharp blades will begin to impact your lawn as well. Examine the tips of the grass after you cut the lawn. If the ends appear to be jagged or shredded, it’s time to sharpen the blades. A poor cut will cause the plant to recover more slowly, requiring more time, nutrients and water to repair itself. It also gives the end of the leaf a brown appearance and can detract from the overall appearance of the lawn. But remember: safety first! Disconnect the spark plug before working on the blades. Next, using the proper size wrench, loosen the bolt that secures the blade to the deck. Most mowers only have one bolt per blade. You might need
a block of wood to wedge against the blades so that it does not spin. After you have removed the blade, inspect it for damage; blades that are bent or have large divots need to be replaced. If it comes to replacement, I recommend taking the old blade with you to the store to match up the length and size of the bolt hole. Secure the blade in a vise before sharpening. Files and grinders will make short work of a dull edge. Carefully work the edge of the blade. You do not want to actually change the angle of the cutting edge, only make it sharper. Butter-knife sharp is all it takes to make a clean cut. Reinstall the blade and get back to cutting grass. Sharp blades will increase the life of your mower and improve the look of your lawn.

Remodeling
New outdoor appreciation Commentary by Larry Greene
Original back patio: This home, located in the Claybridge subdivision on the west side of Carmel, was built in the early 1990s, and the current homeowners are the original owners. They commented, “We had an ugly blue stone patio that had become very dirty. We really never used the back patio and we felt the great views of the water were going to waste. We thought a great deal about the design we wanted, and the designers were very helpful with ideas too.” New gazebo: The new gazebo includes an outdoor TV and motorized retractable screens that raise and lower with a remote control. “Our favorite part of the space is the gazebo. We never realized what we had been missing by not spending any time in our backyard until we had the gazebo built. We have comfortable furniture out there, where we sit and play games together on our iPads. We also had large patio heaters installed so we can use it during the colder weather. It feels like we have added a whole other room to our home.” Deck and patio details: The project included new Timbertech composite decking, custom
black aluminum railing, a fire pit and a concrete paver patio with seat walls and a built-in grill. “When we have people over, we sit by the fire pit, which is very enjoyable. I have even had friends over during the cooler days and we enjoy sitting out there.”
Final results: The homeowners noted, “We are very happy to be able to spend time at the back of the house now. We have a very nice backyard, as (we) spend a lot of time with the flowers and landscaping, and we live on a lake. We feel like we can appreciate that area much more now. It is a delight to be out there. We joke that we feel like we are out in the country when we are out there.” Larry Greene is the president of Case Design/Remodeling, a full-service design/build firm serving Hamilton County.
