COVER STORY

HEALTHY, HAPPY By Zach Dunkin Current in Carmel When Angela LaSalle talks about good health, the Carmel doctor prescribes the usual remedies: proper diet, plenty of exercise – and a dose of passion. Passion? Yes, pay attention to what captures your time, she says. Notice what makes you lose track of it. “Notice what topics make your eyes light up and what you get animated about when you talk about them,” says the 44-year-old practitioner of integrated medicine. “Find out what makes you happy in life. It’s important for your well-being, health and success to follow your passion.” What makes LaSalle happy is music. She plays guitar and violin and sings. If LaSalle could reinvent herself beyond a figure in the field of medicine and healthcare, she would be a musician. Maybe some country singer on a bus rolling through Arkansas. Question her about the possibility that music someday could be widely used as a treatment for certain ailments and her eyes light up. That’s her passion button. “Now, you’re really going to get to know me,” she says.

DR. ANGELA LaSALLE BRINGS AN INTENSE PASSION AND A UNIQUE OUTLOOK ON MEDICINE TO HER NEW PRACTICE IN CARMEL

Dr. Angela LaSalle combines so-called alternative treatments such as acupuncture, relaxation and massage with traditional medical methods.

But more about the medicinal possibilities of music later. First, how did this Indiana University School of Medicine grad and former nurse land at Indiana Health Group near Smokey Row Road and Meridian Street? Why bail on a successful integrated medicine practice in Fort Wayne – so successful that some of her patients still make the two-hour trek from the Summit City to see her? It’s a long, complicated story, says LaSalle, but basically, she probably wouldn’t be here if her partner, Ralph Emerson Waldo, had not moved from Fort Wayne to IHG first. While in Fort Wayne, LaSalle and Waldo shuttled patients back and forth, Waldo treating them with integrated psychiatry and LaSalle evaluating their endocrine systems. Even when Waldo moved here in 2005, the long-distance shuttling continued until LaSalle moved last June. Now, they’re next door to each other in the building at 703 Pro-Med Lane. “I think we felt two heads were better than one,” reasons Waldo, also an IU School of Medicine graduate. “We plan to keep working together and mesh into one as we’re treating cases.” IHG was established in 1987. Its staff of psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, physician assistants and advance practice nurses treat a variety of behavioral health issues for all ages.

LaSALLE’S GIFT

What LaSalle brings to IHG is an integrated medical practice, which combines so-called alternative treatments such as acupuncture, relaxation and massage with traditional medical methods. LaSalle, who studied integrative medicine during a fellowship at the University of Arizona, says it is like “putting more tools in the tool box” in her treatment of patients with mood and concentration issues, hormonal imbalances and metabolic or nutritional issues. “Basically, what I do is focus a lot on nutrition, lifestyle management, stress levels, and the tools that I may use are targeted nutritional supplementation, hormone replacement and stress management techniques to help the body achieve a better balance,” says LaSalle, who is boardcertified in family medicine. “The alternative therapies are totally driven by the patients and what they need.” By the time a patient visits LaSalle, he already has

Find what makes you happy in life. been to his family doc or specialist with no satisfactory results. That’s when the “detective work,” as LaSalle calls it, begins. She often finds stress to be the underlying problem. “It’s very key,” says LaSalle. “Stress causes a lot of changes in your bio-chemistry. It literally changes your bio-chemical environment, and can cause disease. Dealing with a patient’s stress level and happiness is critical to their health.” Healthy mind. Healthy body? Technically, it’s much about “chemical cascades,” this shower of small chemicals in the body responsible for the signaling of what happens between cells. What does this mean? Take heat, for example. If you touch something hot, a number of electrical impulses and chemical communicators are released and signal the brain that you need to remove your hand. Now. “So, if we’re not coordinated with our signals, whether we’re talking about blood sugar or touching something hot, then our body isn’t working as it should,” explains LaSalle. So, Dr. Music-Heals-Us-All, why can’t we just take a strong dose of Yanni and get all-better? After all, didn’t alt-med doctor Alfred A.

attempting to cure disorders like ADD, dyslexia, autism and even depression? “Sound is actually an energy like light or heat,” explains LaSalle. “Rhythm, pitch, volume can have an effect. Those forces interact with the human body in a way that may be sending off those cascades, releasing endorphins or good chemicals in the body.” “It’s worth taking a look at. It just may lead us to the next wave of medical therapies.” Mr. DJ, cue Yanni’s “Dare to Dream,” please.

OUR TAKES

VIEWS

INDIANA MORE PRUDENT It is our position that the financial discipline being exercised by our state government is an exceptional display of prudence. Indiana is one of the few, if not the only, states in the union operating within its means. While it may be a natural impulse for individuals, businesses and governments to want to pursue more endeavors than they can afford, uncontrolled indulgence has contributed to the implosion of the credit markets and the cascade of foreclosures and bankruptcies that followed this last year. Our leaders’ destruction of timeproven economic and other structures in seeking some elusive regulatory perfection

ABUSING PAINKILLERS

evokes memories of snipe hunts. Fiscal discipline means foregoing something unnecessary in exchange for something else – something better suited for the circumstance. By exercising discipline, our state is maintaining our most cherished ideals of security and hope for the future and is applying circumstantial decisionmaking to expenditures. Now is not the time for the extravagant or the experimental. Now is the time to rely on proven (and strict) financial management. The state of Indiana is an example for federal, state and local governments to follow.

It is our position that prescription medication regulation is not achieving acceptable results. Recently, pop star and addict Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide based on the fact that he was improperly prescribed medications by his doctor. It stands to reason that the type and volume of drugs prescribed by an alleged criminal act gave pharmacies ample reason to have concern for the health of the patient. Under the Controlled Substances Act, local and federal enforcement have ample authority to monitor and prevent the ongoing abuse of prescription medications, but continually fail to do so. While we can blame the doctor, the patient

and even the pharmacies involved, the abuse continues with no substantial change in the enforcement of the CSA. In states such as Arizona, the Board of Pharmacy has implemented a program that tracks patients who use drugs such as OxyContin or Vicodin, and reports back to pharmacies and doctors names of abusers to prevent “doctor shoppers” from continuing to feed their habit. More than 30 states have authorized or created such lists, only after deciding that the potential benefits outweigh privacy concerns. We agree. Such a list would allow regulators to hold doctors, pharmacies and patients themselves accountable before someone dies.

FIGHTING FOR THE FIFTH By Brandie Bohney Current in Carmel

Loree Kaiser is passionate about walking in the upcoming Weekend to End Breast Cancer event. Passionate because it’s a family affair – literally. Kaiser’s mother and grandmother both died from breast cancer. Her sister is a 17year survivor. She has three nieces who are also survivors. The walking and support team is comprised entirely of family members, several of whom are breast cancer survivors. “(The) team is named Five Generations,” Kaiser explains. “And the reason we named it Five Generations is the fifth generation – which would be my granddaughter – is coming up, and we want to do something before my granddaughter grows up.” While the cause itself is enough to get Kaiser involved, the fact that the event is sponsored by St. Vincent and the money will all stay in central Indiana is another driving force behind her choice to walk in this event. “I’ve walked in (the Susan Komen event), and it’s a wonderful thing, but (the money) goes throughout the United States. This money stays here,” she explains. Speaking of money, Five Generations has already far surpassed their original fund-raising goal. In fact, the team is currently the top team in terms of funds

GREEK FEST GRACES CARMEL WITH CULTURE, CUISINE For the first time in its 36-year history, the Indianapolis Greek Festival will come to Carmel, celebrating Greek culture and cuisine at the newly opened Holy Trinity Church. “Greek Fest is a celebration of our ethnic heritage, highlighting our faith and food and family” said organizer Matt Albean. Albean, whose maternal grandparents emigrated from Athens, Greece, is a secondgeneration Greek-American. Food is a very large part of Greek culture, according to Albean, and the festival will be no exception. Aside from traditional Greek staples like gyros, Greek flaming cheese, and chicken and pork kabobs, called souvlaki, there will be more than 20 Greek pastries, a Greek beer and a dozen Greek wines served in a Greek taverna. “We talk about celebration of faith, family and food,” Albean said. “So many of those are intertwined in Greek culture. Most family conversations take place over food.” Though Indiana doesn’t have a huge Greek population, according to Albean, their presence has been felt in the state, and specifically in Indianapolis, since the beginning of the last century. The area which now houses the Indiana Historical

The Holy Trinity Church in Carmel

Society was once known as the American Settlement, and was the original landing place for Greek and Romanian immigrants coming to Indianapolis. “Greece has such a long and storied history, being the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, theatre and literature,” Albean said. “It was the cradle of civilization. Many Greeks can trace their lineage back many, many generations. So few Americans have a direct connection to their past … I think Midwesterners strive for that connection.” The Indianapolis Greek Festival is being held in Carmel this year in part to welcome visitors to the new Byzantine-style Greek Orthodox Holy Trinity Church. The festival, located this year at 3500 W. 106th St., will run from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sept. 11, and from noon to 11 p.m. Sept. 12. There will be live music by the IKARI band, as well as Hellenic dance troupes and displays of Greek iconographic art.

the team behind the team

ehind every great team is … another great team? That’s what I found when I looked into the amazing success of this year’s Carmel High School men’s soccer team. Just last week, they tied Zionsville (ranked No. 2 in the state). But, as I alluded to earlier, there is another team, working behind the scenes, celebrating every goal and playing its hearts out to promote a winning season. The Carmel High School Men’s Soccer MOMS Team is already celebrating victories of its own. The MOMS are off to a great start and are hard at work preparing for their next big game. MOM teammates Kathy Christie, Kim Sarsfield, Linda Given, Linda Abbenhaus, Linda Jeff Johnson, Carrie Etgen and Sheila Wolfe have a big, fat, red circle Worrell around Sept. 24 on their calendar. For the Mom Team, Sept. 24 might as well be homecoming, sectionals and the state tournament all rolled into one big night. These MOMS wake up each morning and go to sleep each night with thoughts of Sept. 24, Pack the House Night, dancing in their head. MOMS Team Captain Kathy Christie puts it all in perspective when she says, “We have worked hard, prepared well and planned every detail possible. Now it is up to the fans.” What she means of course, is that unlike any other soccer game in the history of Carmel High School, Pack The House Night depends on a big fan turnout. If Murray

e need our local retailers, and now our local retailers and services need us. How about this for an idea? Let’s encourage local banks to print “Hamiltons” in one-dollar denominations, and maybe a special checkbook. People would have direct deposits to a special “Hamilton” checking account, and for every U.S. dollar going into the account, $1.05 could be drawn from the Hamilton account. The retailer, the lawyer, dentist, gas station participating could accept the “Hamiltons” at face value, saving the local customer 5 percent without the cost of credit cards. The creation of “Hamiltons” is legal. Every checkbook is printing money created by the bank. Bob Why would the bank want to Montgomery print “Hamiltons”? The bank, the local bank needs to be competitive with major, national banks while living within the same regulations that control all banks. In addition to gaining more direct deposits, the bank can make loans to its customers in “Hamiltons,” so the retailer will pay the interest on the loan and be glad to do it. The ultimate advantage to Hamilton County is money earned in Hamilton County will be spent again and again in Hamilton County and will continue to circulate in Hamilton County. Think about it. See if you can find a flaw in the idea. Bob Montgomery is an occasional contributore to Current Publishing. You may at info@curretnincarmel.com

DISPATCHES

TO BELT OR NOT TO BELT - Like pant cuffs, belts are a personal preference. Slimmer suits or trousers with side tabs don’t require a belt. If you are going to wear a belt, keep it slim and tasteful for the office. And generally speaking, it’s preferable to match your belt to your shoes when dressing for business. -men.style.com

TRAVELING WITH TUMBLERS - If you’re taking several drinks (four or more) from the kitchen or bar to the dinner table, deck chairs, or backyard picnic table, carry them in a clean muffin tin. Most glasses, coffee mugs, and beer bottles will fit in the muffin holders of an average-sized muffin tin. -Household Magic ONE COLOR, MANY SHADES – A monochromatic palette can be freeing, not restricting. Limit the color, and you can go wild with the variations.

» Maintaining is really quite basic: • With normal usage, a simple maintenance routine of regularly dusting with a dry cloth and vacuuming in crevices is adequate. • Gently rub with your finger tips or buff with a damp chamois cloth to work out and repair scratches. • Spots and spills should be wiped with a clean cloth as they occur. • Never use solvents, furniture polish, abrasive cleaners or any other type of chemical product. • Wipe the excess from a greasy stain and then leave alone. The rest will dissipate into the leather. Don’t apply water! • If you have a stain that is persistent, have a leather furniture care specialist treat professionally. • Use a leather furniture conditioner every six months to a year.

Leather is a wonderful workhorse for furnishings if the distressed look works in your decor. Vicky Earley is the principal designer for Artichoke Designs in downtown Carmel. If you have an interior design question, please contact artichokedesigns@aol.com.

WINDOW DRESSING - White is a fairly standard color for window panes, trim, and mullions. Martha Stewart, however, has begun shunning the color. “I don’t paint window frames white anymore,” she says, “because the bright trim interrupts the view outside.” Instead, she is opting these days to paint window trim to match the walls. It’s a thought. -Martha Stewart Living

WANT THE SHADOW? - If you’re looking to replicate the very popular 5-o’clock-shadow look, Diane Wood, master barber for King of Shaves in New York City, has the technique: “Use an electric clipper or beard trimmer with a short guard on it—I’d suggest a 1.5 guard. Let your facial hair grow out, and then maintain the look by trimming it with the clipper every other day.” - www.menshealth.com

By: Christi Thompson These days it seems as if the modern woman is looking to enhance their natural beauty in many different ways. Whether you choose to undergo surgery or needles for wrinkle reducing or enhancements, or just choose a product to help smooth your skin, it seems as if we are all looking for ways to look younger. One such way to achieve this is by using an eyelash conditioner to brighten your

total look. Longer, fuller eyelashes open up your entire expression. Women of all ages have been known to worry about their eyelashes, wanting them to look lush, so using an eyelash conditioner is something any woman can add to her daily routine. Eyelash conditioners come in all forms. Salon 01 carries RevitaLash eyelash conditioner because it has been proven, with regular use, to lengthen the lashes and promote growth of new lashes.

The color of power By: Christi Thompson The September 2009 issue of Men’s Health magazine names the color Gray as the new power color for men this season. There is a classic connotation to gray, yet it is a color that looks sleek and modern. Any shade of gray will do, light, medium or dark, it is a hard color to go wrong with. Men’s Health gives four tips when thinking Gray: 1. Choose a shade: Gray is an elegant color that goes with anything. Pair gray shoes, a belt or tie with any color suit or shirt. 2. Mix it up: Don’t wear the same shade of gray from head to toe. Mixing colors of slate charcoal or heather keeps things interesting. 3. Add texture: Patterns and texture keep this color exciting from casual plaids to dressy cashmere. 4. Wear with care: Gray leather tends to show stains and dirt more quickly than darker colors, so upkeep is important. Remember to protect your leather items with a spray or wax polish.

Blonde BomBshells By: Alex Paredes Lately, it seems as if some stars are going blonde, and that makes us wonder, do blondes really have more fun? Lindsay Lohan has been seen in a bright blonde hue this summer. Britney Spears return to her signature blonde hair as she preps for the rest of her summer tour.

mean annie gonna axe her mom By Brandie Bohney Current in Carmel

Anyone else out there a fan of Heywood Banks? He’s a pretty terrific G-rated comedian, and that’s just plain tough to find these days. Plus, he does a few songs that are great in an English classroom. Most notable of those songs, in my opinion, is “Mean Annie.” “Mean Annie” is a parody of poor speaking, wherein Banks pokes fun of a girl who uses the wrong pronoun in the wrong place and also pronounces the word ask as axe. The line from the song goes, “Mean Annie, Mean Annie, Mean Annie gonna axe her mom.” Of course, it’s funny because the girl is saying, “Me and Annie,” instead of, “Annie and I,” and because the mispronunciation of ask then makes Mean Annie appear to be a homicidal maniac. So kids, remember, poor speaking could make you seem like a killer. And not in a good way. In any case, I’ve discussed in another column switching object and subject pronouns, which is part of the issue in “Mean Annie.” What I haven’t discussed is the standard order of pronouns and proper nouns. Sometimes trying to stick to that order causes people to choose the wrong pronoun. Most people (myself included) have

been taught that you always put other people’s names first when used with a personal pronoun for yourself. And that’s good: It is courteous to put first-person pronouns (me and I) after other pronouns or proper nouns in a list. The problem is that many people learn that rule only as it pertains to I, and not necessarily as it pertains to me. I and me still need to be used correctly. You should not say, “Jacob was in a hotdog-eating contest with Marissa and I.” The I is incorrect. The sentence can be reworked in two ways: Jacob, Marissa, and I were in a hotdogeating contest. Jacob was in a hotdog-eating contest with Marissa and me.

Of course, the reverse situation is true, too. Saying, “Marissa and me also entered the ice cream eating competition,” is also wrong. Change that me to I, though, and you’re right back on track. You and Marissa probably have indigestion, but at least you aren’t mean.

FREE WHITENING

17 ANTI-AGING

Thousands of leg or foot amputations are performed each year resulting from complications of diabetes. Often, this is a result of an open sore or ulcer on the foot that goes unchecked and subsequently becomes infected. You may ask, “Why would someone not tend to an open sore?” Well, surprising to most, most of the time there is no sensation in these areas at all. This is one of the most common complications of diabetes – diabetic neuropathy. Neuropathy can present itself with many different diseases or syndromes, but it is often closely associated with diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy can appear as a burning, tingling, pins-and-needles sensation (like when your arm falls asleep), or a more intensified, painful feeling. Diabetics get into trouble, though, when the neuropathy appears as numbness. It creeps up on them, and they often don’t know it is happening until they notice some drainage in their sock. If the foot is numb, the patient cannot experience pain, and therefore does not stop to check out what the problem is – because they don’t realize that, for ex-

ample there is a toothpick stuck in their foot or they have walked so much that a callus developed from wear and tear has broken down. Unless they have a loved one checking their feet for them on a regular basis, this may go unnoticed for a long period of time. An ulceration will become infected. If the infection lingers, it can eventually involve the bone. When bone becomes infected, IV antibiotics and often amputation of part or all of that bone or area must be performed to rid the body of the infection. This is why the education of diabetics is so important. Prevention of infections and amputations improves quality of life for the patient and the family. If you have a friend or family member with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, please make sure they are properly educated on their disease.

By Amy Q. Barker Current in Carmel In 2006, after trying to get pregnant for many months with no success, my friend Diane Baker and her husband decided it was time to check with a doctor. Diane had an initial (healthy) blood test and a follow-up one month later. In the weeks between these two tests, Diane had somehow developed leukemia. She was given the shocking news by a doctor who made a house-call expecting to find a very sick patient. Instead, Diane was ironically in the middle of her usual exercise workout. The doctor explained to a shocked Diane and her husband that this disease, if confirmed, needed urgent attention, and she was admitted to the hospital that evening. Two days later, Diane was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, an aggressive form of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. At the time, she was 36 years old. What followed was four months in the hospital for treatment, a bone-marrow transplant, multiple infections, with another two months in and out of the hospital and finally recovery. Last summer, Diane ran a 5K race to raise funds for cancer research. She was weak and thin. She had just recovered from a brain infection, but she still managed to raise more than $5,000 and complete the race. Diane’s story inspired me to get involved to help find a cure for this disease and others like it. I had heard about Team in Training through a co-worker and decided to join. Over the past 20 years, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training has grown to become an un-

paralleled sports training program More than 380,000 participants, from first timers to seasoned athletes, have trained with TNT and achieved their best at marathons, half marathons, triathlons, 100-mile century bike rides and hiking adventures. TNT has raised more than $900 million for the LLS. I figured if Diane could run a 5K after just recovering from a brain infection, I could certainly train for and run a half marathon. I enrolled in Team in Training’s fall season and competed in the Walt Disney World’s Half Marathon this past January. In May, I completed the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini Marathon, and I’m currently training with TNT for the Community Health Network Indianapolis Half Marathon.

Carmel resident Linda Heavin is proof a fancy degree isn’t always necessary to have a fulfilling career in the art world. Heavin, a self-taught artist, began painting three years ago with very little experience, she said. She attended a few workshops, took advice from Becky Taylor, a good friend and fellow artist, and went to work. “You have this idea you’re going to paint this masterpiece,” Heavin said. “Then when you’re done you have to be able to laugh at it. Not everything works out.” But slowly, Heavin said, her work progressed. “You just have to work with it,” she said. “And that’s what I do.” Heavin’s work will be on display this month on the Artist Wall at the Carmel Clay Public Library. Most of the work shown will be watercolors, and will show a “cross-section” of her painting interests, which span from landscapes to animals. “I do a broad selection, but it has to be something that appeals to me and my imagination,” she said. While some of her scenes are created in her head, Heavin said she drew a great deal of inspiration from a trip she and her husband took a few years ago when they sold their house and lived on their boat for

apple of our eye, or bad apple?

ery soon, hay rides will start, signifying the start of fall celebrations in the orchards. Farms across the Midwest start their festivals coinciding with the harvest. There will be apple pie baking contests, caramel apple stands and an abundance of apple cider for everyone. There are literally hundreds of varieties available around the world, with more than twodozen types grown in Indiana. Apples are one of the easiChef Michael est crops to grow, as Vlasich they are generally Culinary Explorer self-sufficient on the tree until harvest time. Here are some interesting facts about apples: • Apples float well, as they are made up of 25 percent air between cells • The tartness is determined by the balance of malic acid to sugar. • Apples spoil 10 times faster at room temperature than in a refrigerator. • Apples last much longer if they are not touching each other. • Before refrigeration, people would store apples buried in a barrel of sand or sawdust, where they would last all winter. • To avoid wrinkled skins on apples, before baking, score them with a knife. • Nutritional and fiber content are no different between natural and regular apple juices. • Apple juice actually has very little nutrient value unless fortified. • Apple butter contains no fat if prepared by the original recipe with cinnamon and spices.

baked apple dumplings • 2 ea medium size Granny Smith Apples cored through the center completely • 2/3 cup brown sugar • 1/3 cup raisins • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon • 1 sheet puff pastry • 2 large eggs beaten into egg wash Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins together. Stuff the apples with the mixture packed tightly. Cut the pastry in to two pieces 5”x5”. Place the each apple upside down onto each piece of pastry. Egg wash the four corners of each piece. Pull the four corners up on top the apples where they should all over lap each other. (There should be no holes in the pastry anywhere; it should be sealed.) Turn the apple dumpling over onto a cookie sheet. Egg wash the top and sides of the pastry, sprinkle granulated sugar over and bake in a 375-degree preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. If any syrup comes out, spoon it over the dumpling. Serve warm.

• Fresh apple juice or cider lasts only one week when refrigerated. • With calorie content, unsweetened apple sauce has 75 percent fewer calories then sweetened varieties. • Apple pits/cores are poisonous, and should never be consumed, nor should whole apples be used to make juice or cider. • Americans eat an average of 20 pounds of apples per year. Chef Michael R. Vlasich, CEC, AAC, is a Carmel resident and the executive chef at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. You may e-mail him at chefmichael@currentincarmel.com

By Scott Russell Sanders Scott Russell Sanders spent his first five years on a small farm outside of Memphis, where the natural world taught him some of his earliest lessons and an older boy awakened him to racial prejudice. Sanders writes eloquently of his overwhelming love of family and the natural world. Between his reflections on the cycle of decline and renewal, his mother’s disappearance into Alzheimer’s and his baby granddaughter’s awakening to the world, he tells the important stories in his life’s journey.

how to avoid spam filters

e all hate spam and want our e-mail programs to do a better job fending off all the junk that pollutes our inbox. But the flip side of the story is that it’s getting more likely that real messages will get caught in the gauntlet of filters. To make things worse, it’s entirely possible that your Internet Service Provider or mail service is stripping out messages before your local spam or junk-mail filter can do its inspection. To be fair, mail systems have to deal with an enormous quantity of mail, the vast majority of which is junk messages. In every test of our mail servers over the years, more than 94 percent of all mesGary Hubbard sages were tagged as spam, and Technology another 3 percent were tagged as “suspected” spam. With this absurd ratio of spam, it’s no wonder why so many messages get mishandled. Set the spam filter too low and lots of junk gets in; set it too high and lots of legit mail won’t get through. The battle rages on between spammers and spam-filtering technology, but there are a number of things you can do to reduce the chances of getting your messages filtered. The first is kind of obvious: Don’t be a spammer. When I say this, I mean don’t ever send mass e-mails to everyone in your address book. If you need to send large groups of people a single message, look into services (such as ConstantContact.com) that know how to do it with-

out being tagged as a spammer. If you are a business, never send mass e-mail to anyone who has not “opted in” to your dispatches. Many ISPs will automatically tag any message that goes to a large number of their users as spam, unless all of the technical details of mass-mailing messages are being followed (and these rules are constantly changing). It’s possible the format of your e-mail or signature is increasing your spam score before you even begin typing your message. Images or certain keywords can instantly increase the spam score of your message. If you want to see if the base structure of your message is causing problems, send it to spamscore@politemail.com You will get a detailed report highlighting any content that could cause your message to be tagged as spam. If you send a lot of mail out, you can also install a free program from www.mailingcheck.com that can scan your messages to give you an idea of the spam score before you send them.

AGING PETS AND DENTAL DISEASE - Dental disease is the most common change in older dogs. Studies show that even by age three, 80 percent of dogs exhibit signs of gum disease. Routine dental care including toothbrushing, can help keep dental disease to a minimum. Dogs who have not received proper dental care can develop significant dental disease as they age and may develop life-threatening complications. -www.peteducation.com

IN PRAISE OF PREBIOTICS: WHAT YOU CAN DO By John Mikesell Current in Carmel

• Give your dog a probiotic supplement that offers a variety of strains of beneficial bacteria. • Nourish those “good guy” bacteria with a prebiotic supplement. • Monitor your dog’s weight, the condition of his coat, his energy level and the quality of his daily stool for signs that his diet needs to be adjusted in some way. What works well for some dogs may not benefit another dog in other circumstances. • Adding supplemental lactobacillus acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidum, lactobacillius, or other probiotic organisms to your dog’s diet is almost always a good idea. This will support the resident microflora that are always present in your pet’s gut, enhancing digestion and absorption of nutrients, supporting detoxification and elimination process-

Speckles is a 1-year-old female tri-color American bulldog/cattle dog mix. She is a very outgoing and friendly girl who is highly intelligent. Speckles will gladly show off the commands she has mastered, such “sit,” “down,” “stay” and “come,” but she would appreciate a little treat for her tricks. She has been spayed, and she is house trained, however, she would prefer a home where she can be the only pet. Speckles is still a bit of a puppy and has a lot of energy and playfulness, so she will need a family who will ensure she receives plenty of daily exercise to keep her happy. Richie is a 3-year-old male orange tabby DSH. Richie is a very sweet boy who has a very outgoing personality. He arrived at the shelter on June 11 and had a bad eye infection. He received the treatment he needed and he is feeling much better now. Richie is good with people of all ages and isn’t opposed to moving into a home with other felines. Richie is pretty easy-going, so he would do well in any home. For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-7734974 or go to www.hamiltonhumane.com.

es, and helping to boost their immune system. • Probiotics work in concert with those immune warriors by producing special enzymes and other chemicals that support immune functions at many levels Probiotics will also help keep populations of “bad guy” pathogens, like salmonlla spp and escherichis coli, in check • Some pets may need a prebiotic supplement. In the simplest terms, prebiotics are food for resident microflora. They are defined as indigestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth of one or a limited number of bacterial species in the colon-specifically those which have the potential to improve host health, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Prebiotics are a class of carbohydrates known as oligosaccharides-soluble carbo-

hydrates that are naturally found in many foods, including whole grains, onions, bananas, garlic, honey leeks, and Jerusalem artichokes. In the world of herbs, burdockroot, dandelion root, and chicory root are rich sources too. Many holistic and premium dog foods provide pre- and probiotics. There are also many supplements available form your pet food specialty store. Inulin and fructoogligosaccharides have been used in animal feeds for many years. They are considered safe, but overfeeding may cause flatulence and bloating-the effects of intestinal fermentation. Inulin has a minimal impact on blood sugar and does not raise triglycerides, making it suitable for diabetics and potentially helpful in managing blood sugar-related illnesses.

my wife wasn’t thrilled with the concept. “No, Dick. You cannot invite 30 strangers over to the house to sit around you and talk when you sleep.” Then it hit me. The bus trips are during the day, but I’m trying to sleep at night. So the next day, I got back into my chair at nigh noon, sat straight up, looking out my bedroom window. The scenery wasn’t

changing, so I started moving the chair from one window to the next. The sun was pouring in on my face. Suddenly I felt myself getting sleepy…very sleepy. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ It worked. I slept from noon until 8 p.m., sitting straight up in the chair, leaning against my bedroom window. My insomnia was cured.

Two hours later, it was time for bed. I got under the covers and just couldn’t fall asleep. The next morning I was still wide awake, but here was the good news. I’d be ready for a nap in just a few hours. Dick Wolfsie is an author, columnist, and speaker. Contact him at wolfsie@aol.com.

leeping has always been a problem for me. Not napping. I’m a wizard at napping, as I have reported before in this column. But sleeping. Like in my own bed. Like for six to eight hours. I’m just not very good at it. Never was. No one sleeps better on a bus or train than I do. While on our recent trip, the second I got in the seat, I was unconscious. But why? There is nothing on a bus that lends itself to Dick Wolfsie nodding off. The Humor seats are uncomfortable, the space is cramped, and it’s usually hot. True, one of our tour guides was listing the emperors of Rome in both alphabetical and chronological order, but I don’t think that was the problem, although I was snoring by the time she got to Caligula. Yes, I slept through most of the countries that take Euros. In fact, some of my mass transit sleeping this trip rivaled brown bear hibernation in Alaska. My wife and son learned a great deal about the habits of these giant omnivores from our tour guide a few years back, but I’m pretty clueless because I slept through most of the Pacific Northwest. When I returned from our vacation, I decided that I would simulate the very same conditions on a bus that usually sent me to never-never land. First, I asked my wife to talk to me like a tour guide. Drone on about how the Greeks built the Acropolis and how the Romans constructed the Coliseum. That had worked beautifully just two weeks earlier. I think Mary Ellen felt kind of dumb reading “Rome for Dummies” out loud to me from the foot of the bed, but she did it. But then I asked her to shake the bed back and forth so I’d feel like I was on the bus. That made her drowsy, so she snuck out of the room and fell asleep on the couch. It clearly wasn’t the tour guide rap that made me sleepy. I took a hard-back metal bridge chair and sat straight up in it, bounced up and down like I was on a bus and looked sideways out my bedroom window. But I was still wide awake after 10 minutes. Maybe it was the sun that made me drowsy? I shined a floor lamp directly in my eyes and started bouncing up and down again. (I think my neighbor, Norm, could see into my bedroom from his living room window, which might explain why he kept winking at me the next day when we played tennis.) No luck. Still wide awake. Then I had another idea, but
