Fire causes heavy damage to C.R. Heroes – A fire last Saturday at C.R. Heroes on 96th Street in Fishers caused extensive damage to the restaurant. The Fishers Fire Dept. was dispatched to a fire alarm at the location just after 8 a.m. Prior to the arrival of the first fire engine, the manager of the neighboring paint store discovered smoke coming from the restaurant and called 911. Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke inside and a well-evolved fire in a rear storage room. The fire was extinguished completely in about an hour. C.R. Heroes suffered extensive heat and smoke damage throughout the restaurant, in addition to the fire damage in the rear storage room. Other businesses in the strip mall had only minor smoke conditions, in large part because of fire walls on either side of the restaurant, according to firefighters. Investigators believe the fire was caused by an undetermined problem with a dryer. No dollar loss estimate was made. (Submitted photos)

Achievement

Webb wins HCCAOD Youth Service Award By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com

Throughout all of her various activities, Fishers High School senior Taylor Webb was not looking for recognition for her involvement in various school and community activities, but on April 23, she was named the 2012 Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs Youth Service Award winner. “I wasn’t expecting it,” said Webb. “While listening to the accomplishments of other students, I didn’t think I compared to them at all.” Webb is the sponsor for the Make a Difference Club at Fishers Junior High School, which consists of a group of eighth-grade students who want to make a difference in the community. At the school, she also helped out with the recycling club, was a cadet teacher and served as a role model for younger students. At FHS, Webb is a member of the National Honor Society and a peer tutor, where she helped students who have mental or physical disabilities. In her senior year, Webb was picked to participate in the school’s student leadership retreat, where she was one of 80 students invited to improve their leadership skills to help keep the school drug-free. Webb says her greatest accomplishment was her work with the Fishers Dance Marathon Committee. As committee president, she set a goal to raise $20,000 through many communi-

ty-wide fundraisers, including the kid-friendly All Treats No Tricks event. The event was a huge success, and in March, Webb announced the committee had raised $20,116.30 for Riley Children’s Hospital. “It’s an awesome feeling to know you are doing something for people who truly need it,” she said. Webb’s guidance counselor, Matt Swain, described her as an outstanding young lady who has demonstrated character and values that help young people stay drug-free. “She has held many leadership roles while a student at FHS. As a peer tutor, she developed many influential relationships with developmentally-disabled students and helped navigate them through their high school experience,” said Swain. “Taylor is an example of how we hope all students

will embrace life and give back to the community that has supported them along the away.” Webb, the daughter of Kim and Brian Webb and stepmother Dawn Webb, plans to attend Purdue University and major in special education. Webb credits her time in FHS’ Best Buddies program to her future occupation. “I’m not very patient, but being with them (the students), I’m super patient. They show so much love back,” she said. “Friendships last forever with them.”

Philanthropy

Text line offers mental, emotional support for Hamilton County Commentary by Joan Isaac Thanks to a new feature used by mental health professionals, people can use texting to get help from trained volunteers and staff on issues such as depression, stress, relationship problems, substance abuse and suicide intervention. This new service is now available to Hamilton County residents, thanks to a grant from United Way of Central Indiana that extends mental health programs and services to us through Mental Health America of Greater Indianapolis, a United Way agency. One of the agency’s main programs is crisis and suicide intervention. Last year, the agency’s Crisis Line received about 5,300 calls on its 24hour hotline from people who were in distress. Shockingly, almost one-third of those callers were younger than age 25. Since almost 5,000 people ages 15 to 24 kill themselves each year, a goal of the agency is to reach more adolescents. Suicide for this age group has tripled in the last five decades, making it the third leading cause of death in adolescents. What’s the best way to reach teens? You can confirm these numbers by simply looking around. But for those who prefer hard data, consider this: three out of four 12- to 17-year-olds now own their own cell phones; 88 percent are texting. These facts compelled MHAGI to add a texting feature to the Crisis Line, making it the 13th such line in the nation to offer text mes-

saging for crisis intervention. The technology is provided through special software designed for public health agencies and is endorsed by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. People can text CSIS to 839863, and trained volunteers and staff respond using a secure, web-based application and standard computers. Although teens and young adults are the target audience, anyone experiencing a mental health crisis is encouraged to contact the Crisis Line by phone or text for help. Hours for the text line are: Wednesday, 6 p.m. to midnight, and Friday through Sunday, 9 p.m. to midnight. Or, you can call 251-7575 anytime. If you support United Way, thank you for making it possible for creative agencies like MHAGI to identify and advance the best solutions – like this use of technology – to help people lead safer and healthier lives. If you would like to learn more about ways to work through United Way to get things accomplished in our community, we welcome you! Please contact me (Joan Isaac) at joan.isaac@ uwci.org. I will be happy to explore any number of opportunities to live united! Joan Isaac is United Way of Central Indiana’s area director for Hamilton County.

Parenting

Appreciating classic parental wisdom Commentary by Susan Bryant

As I go through the daily job of parenting, various nuggets of “wisdom” from my own parents pop in my head (and roll off my tongue, much to my dismay). Many of these phrases fall into the category of misguided advice or empty threats that, although well-intentioned, lack something in the veracity department. Maybe you recognize some of the following: There are starving children in China who would love to eat that. I doubt any kid on the planet would want to eat my mother’s “creamed chipped beef on toast” – a regrettable combination of packaged meat topped with a “cream” resembling wallpaper paste which saturated a perfectly good piece of toast. Why a kid from China, in particular, should be subjected to this, I don’t know. Don’t make that face or it will freeze that way. It’s funny this phrase had any credence at all as many kids purposely made awful faces just to see if it would stick. The related “Don’t cross your eyes or they’ll stay that way” was another adage that was more challenge than threat. Never wear holey underwear – what if you’re in a car wreck and paramedics have to cut your clothes off? Are paramedics allowed to refuse treatment to patients with questionable undergarments? If I’m in a car wreck serious enough to require the removal of my clothes, I’ve got bigger concerns

than dying of embarrassment. Eat your carrots. They’re good for your eyes. Actually all vegetables are good for your eyes in the sense that eating healthy is a smart idea for every part of your body. At the time this phrase was coined, moms must have found carrots to be a particularly hard sell to kids. Of course, some advice does stand the test of time. If your friend jumped off a bridge, would you? This is a perennial favorite because parents understand there is no other answer than “No” to this classic peer-pressure question. It’s one of the few phrases in our arsenal for which kids have no reasonable comeback. Go play outside. This one has particular weight today as many kids’ relationship to their iPads far surpasses any connection to the great outdoors. As evidence, a childhood condition called Nature Deficit Disorder actually exists now. Seriously, I couldn’t make that one up. Always do your best. Not the easiest advice to follow – at any age. If there was one phrase to live by, though, this one’s a keeper.

Spirituality

Forever-faithful friend Commentary by Mike Colaw

Recently, my wife called to let me know she was feeling quite sick. It became clear the baton of childcare was being passed to me for the night. As any great dad would do, I put in a movie and ordered pizza. We all sat in the living room, turned the lights down and dove into our pizza and soda as “The Chronicles of Narnia” started playing. There was one scene that caught my attention. Young King Peter stands on a hill overlooking a battlefield. The opposing army sounds like thunder as it marches, approaching nearer. The camera rolls over the hill showing how vast and overwhelming this battle is about to be – the good guys are far outnumbered. They all line up like a perfect chess set with countless pieces, and all became still. At that moment, all you could hear is the wind. The tension was high and fear was on the face of this young king as he was about to go into a seemingly hopeless battle. He turns to his friend and general and asks him, “Are you with me?” His general responds, “To the death.” To the death … think about that. Wouldn’t it be awesome to know you have a friend, spouse or family member that would stand by your side even in the midst of life’s greatest obstacles? Our world has become so obsessed

with self-preservation and pleasure that even the deepest of covenants are no longer sacred. The loyalty of marriage, family and even some friendships goes to the highest-pleasure bidder. Wouldn’t it be nice to find someone who was absolutely faithful? A friend who would stand by you through any circumstance, no matter how dismal, and say he or she is with you to the death? Believe it or not, this is the model of love Christ demonstrated to us. As Jesus hung on the cross suffering deep emotional and physical pain, he looked at those who hurt him and said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” You have a friend who will stand with you even to the death. In absolute loyalty and complete faithfulness, Jesus wants to show you what honor and love truly look like. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:10-11 English Standard Version). That’s a good Friend.

Truth from government

It is our position the bedrock of democracy – trust in government – cannot be permitted to erode through inattentiveness or obfuscation by our elected officials. A recent Current article pointed out Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard twice circulated inaccurate information regarding the existence and content of an environmental study involving the old grain elevator along the Monon Trail. Afterward, his explanation was he simply passed along the facts he was provided by his staff. We don’t doubt his account, but we question whether he would have dug deeper into the facts had the study’s purported conclusions not supported his position. This example is trivial when compared to the omissions, half-truths and outright deceptions regularly disseminated by politicians of all persuasion and position. Unfortunately, we as citizens of a representative democracy have come to assume our government is less than truthful, and the news outlets further spin the story to suit a particular position. Again, not to pick on Brainard for his error, but the situation highlights the need for a vigilant press corps who will not accept all statements without investigation and a citizenry that holds its elected officials accountable for the information they disseminate.

Let's get physical

Commentary by Terry Anker

In a world controlled by the boundaries of physics, why do we still push the axiom dictating we cannot be in two places at once? We book and stretch to make the commute from one city to another, optimistically clinging to the belief we can shuttle amongst the final meeting of the day, attending an away track meet for kid No. 1 and still patiently reviewing homework with the second offspring. While we humans are blessed with a depth of ability, capacity and fortitude seldom fullytaxed, can we manage to attend to our obligations when they are simultaneously dislocated? All too often, I find myself unable to meet those commitments that arise countervailing one to the other. In fact, it seems many of my own good intentions fall victim of too much, too far apart. We end up creating (and most sincerely regretting) the inconvenience caused to those others, as any thoughtful person might be, who manage to be on time and prepared for discussion. Do they simply

under-schedule knowing traffic snarls and meetings go long? Do these to-be-admired folks have some pass to an elaborate system that transports them from one side of town to the other without the pesky twin distractions of time and space? Cellphones and all manner of tools now make our time more efficient. We can do more in a more compact space. And boy, do we do more! Yet, have we simply pushed ourselves to the inevitable result of failure? Are we better served to do less better? In a world of more communication, more productivity and more encounters, should we hoard our time, guarding it jealously against our tendency to squeeze in one further thing? I’d like to consider the question, but it looks like I’m late for my next meeting …

Current in Fishers

Back in January 2011, Current in Fishers was launched to provide local-local news and entertainment content to the town. Finally, Fishers had its own newspaper. So far, so good, we’ve been told by a number of folks. It wouldn’t have transpired the way it did without the yeoman efforts of its managing editor, Jordan Fischer. Jordan, a former Current intern, began with us a couple months before launch date, familiarizing himself with how the town runs – and who runs it – and the people that make up the fabric of this great community. We believe he has done an outstanding job as the founding editor, but, because we have someone we believe will become his equal, we are moving Jordan to run our Carmel newspaper. If you know Jordan, and we’re sure many of you do by now, you recognize he is, if nothing else, an unflappable, can-do guy. So it didn’t surprise us in the least when he said, “sure” to our question of whether he could handle Current in Fishers AND Current in Carmel until his Current in Fishers successor arrives. His official transition date is May 14, when Dan Domsic, Butler-University educated as Jordan is, comes on board. You’ll like Dan, too, as he is as thoughtful and community-centric as Jordan. So for us, it’s a win-win. We believe this edition won’t miss a beat under Dan’s direction, and we thank Jordan tremendously for setting the tempo. ••• Your May 8 edition of Current in Fishers actually will be delivered this Saturday in an effort to offer you additional time to read up on the primary election, which is May 8.

Till dentures do us part Laughs by Danielle Wilson

I hate the dentist. Not personally, of course. I actually like mine very much. But I hate the whole dental experience, especially if it’s for a potentially-painful procedure. Take fillings, for example. A few weeks back, once I’d survived the torturous cleaning process, I received bad news – double cavities. Dun, dun, dunnn. In shock, I made an appointment for the following Monday, already knowing I would find some way to postpone it. Luckily, the day arrived with a forecast of “partly cloudy,” the perfect reason to reschedule. I left a voice message with reception saying “Don’t call me, I’ll call you!” and promised to not call for several weeks. I was stalling big time, but I didn’t care. The idea of someone, anyone, even a charming licensed professional drilling into the depths of my highly-sensitive nerve-filled teeth scares the bejesus out of me. (I was traumatized as a child when dentists used only diluted “laughing gas” and stickers to numb the pain.) As stupid fate would have it, the following day, my 10-year-old began complaining of a toothache and asked to go see the dentist. Fine. May as well get my appointment over with, too. So I made another appointment and desperately tried to ignore my impending doom. The heart palpitations picked up significantly

during the next couple of days, just as the hours of sleep and my appetite dropped off. When the appointed hour came, I somehow coerced my body into the office (I had seriously considered bribing my son with McDonald’s and making a break for it), and then managed to distract myself for a few minutes with Architectural Digest. Naturally, I let my kid go first (it’s the right thing to do), but then cursed myself for being so stupid. Prolonging the agony only made it worse! Finally, I was up. I begged my doctor for some Valium on the way back, and when he professed not to have any, I demanded, “Then numb me all to hell!” By the grace of God and the Lamaze techniques I learned in birthing class, I survived seven or eight Novocain injections, and then held on for dear life as the dentist chiseled and scraped and jack-hammered my molars. I stumbled out less than an hour later, overwrought and unable to speak coherently. I made a vow, then and there, to love and protect my teeth, till death or dentures do us part. Because I really hate the dentist. Peace out.

Female problems

Laughs by Dick Wolfsie

My story begins with an actual letter I received recently from my supplemental Medicare provider. "Our records show the gender we have for you doesn’t match the information received from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services. To have your gender corrected, please contact your local Social Security Office.” I dialed immediately, hoping to reach a real person who could look into everything without having to actually look at anything, if you know what I mean. After I answered a few automated questions, a man who identified himself as Art came on the phone and offered to assist me. “Yes, we have you on file. What can I do for you, ma’am?” I could see this wasn’t starting out very well. I explained to Art the confusion that had arisen, but I tried talking with a deeper voice, hoping that might move the conversation along in the right direction. “This is a new one for me, Wolfsie. By the way, mind if I just call you Wolfsie? At least until we satisfactorily address this problem? Not sure I can fix this with a simple keystroke. This may require a face-to-face meeting.” I’m not a rugged-looking guy. I even have some soft features. “Are you on Medicare?” Art asked.

VERY LOVELY CELEBRATION™

“Yes, for the past several months.” “Which parts?” “Gee whiz, you don’t have a record of those parts, either? There must be some explanation for all this.” “Wolfsie, maybe the computer read your first name as being either a man’s or a woman’s, thus the confusion.” “You must be right, Art. Who doesn’t have a niece or a grandmother named Richard?” “I need to put you on hold again, Wolfsie. Sorry to make you wait.” “No problem. I’ll pass the time flipping through Brides Magazine.” Moments later … “It looks to me, Wolfsie, we have you officially listed as a man all your life, but for some reason you became a woman in our system when you signed up for Medicare. That was effective March 2.” We had been on the phone almost an hour when Art said he needed to check one more thing. I held for another five minutes, but he never came back on the line. He just kept me hanging. Isn’t that just like a man?

Get buff – Cardio is an essential part of workouts, but many overlook the importance of weight training. Strength training not only builds and preserves muscle, but also builds stronger bones, reduces risk for injury and increases stamina. - www. bettermedicine.com/ fitness/the-best-reasons-tostrength-train

Get started right – Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not do it right? Start by eating foods high in protein and low in fat. Eating less fat early helps to eat less throughout the day. -www.bhg.com/health-family/weight-loss/ diets/healthier-breakfast Anagram – It has been said the word “stressed” is “desserts” spelled backward, but when you are on a diet, resisting emotional eating can be difficult. Easy steps, such as knowing your triggers and using distractions, can help eliminate bad habits. - weightloss. health. com/2012/04/10/ avoid-stresseating/

Little black something – Is black the “new black” in foods? Studies suggest ebony-colored foods, rich in anthocyanins, have anti-inflammatory properties and may offer protection from heart disease and cancer. - blogs.webmd.com/food-andnutrition/2012/03/is-black-the-new-black-in-foods.html

Sun-safe skin – Sunscreen season is here. Some useful tips: Don’t get sunscreen with an SPF less than 15, look for both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B protection and no need to buy separate sunscreen for the face and body. - www. southernliving.com/healthyliving/mind-body/suncreenlotion-00417000067341 Go crazy for nuts – Nuts are an essential part of the diet that many overlook. Not only are they good for the heart, but they also contain healthy fats and keep you full. Toss a handful into your salad, stir fry or yogurt this spring. - blogs. webmd.com/food-andnutrition/2012/04/5-reasonsto-add-nuts-to-your-diet.html Advertisement

Child Custody and Summer Visitation

As the school year comes to an end, parents are scheduling camps, vacations and other activities for their children. Of course, this also means that the summer visitation requirements must be addressed for divorced families. Family law attorney, Lanae Harden, gives tips on how to ensure a smooth summer for both the parents and children involved.

1. If you don’t have a detailed parenting visitation schedule, create one. This may be difficult for former spouses to come to an agreement. If you are unable to come up with a mutually agreeable schedule, consult a professional to aid with this. The more detailed your agreement is, the less room for interpretation, therefore less conflict. 2. Recognize the emotional impact this may have on the children. A significant change in schedule can bring up emotions for the children. This could be positive or negative emotions, but usually a mixture of both. Children thrive on routine, and summer visitation schedules usually vary significantly from the routines that the children became accustomed to during the school year. Depending on the ages of the children, explain to them the exact schedule and where they will be at any given time. Create a calendar with color coded days signifying when they will be at mom’s house and when they will be at dad’s house. 3. Plan accordingly. This may include scheduling time off work or altering your work schedule when the children are visiting. Plan appropriate summer-time activities. If you are the non-custodial parent, this may also include arranging for care (nanny, babysitter etc.). If possible, utilize their same care provider at both homes for consistency. 4. Be supportive if your child misses the other parent. Don’t take this personally or assume this means the child loves the other parent more than you. Look for ways to calm your child and allow them to speak frequently with their other parent. This will only help build your bond with your child. The best interest of the child is always the most important thing to keep in mind. Both parents should communicate and cooperate to make sure that reasonable visitation time is met and the child feels safe and secure. If you need assistance with determining child visitation or custody, contact HARDEN JACKSON at 317-569-0770 or www.hardenjacksonlaw.com. Remember, these suggestions are not meant to be legal advice. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation.

Liposuction and treatment for aged eyes Commentary by Barry Eppley Q: Will I go back to the smallest size I was right after liposuction? It’s been four weeks now since I had liposuction of the bra line, abdomen, flanks and inner thighs. Right after I got out of my surgery and for a week or so after that, my stomach was flat. But then I ballooned up and, while I’m not big or anything, I am bigger than I’d like to be. So do patients tend to go back to the size they were right after surgery before all the swelling took place? A: What you are experiencing is known as lymphedema due to partial obstruction of lymphatic outflow in the treated areas. This is a temporary phenomenon that occurs in all liposuction patients for the first few months after surgery. It is a self-solving problem as the lymphatic channels heal and reopen. This will restore the shape back to what you saw right after surgery. Q: My eyes used to be one of my best features, but now they are just getting oldlooking. I am 47 years old and have wrinkles around my eyes and some extra skin on the eyelids. My brows now seem a little low, too. I don’t want to go through surgery such as an eyelid tuck or a brow lift, so what can I do? Do I need some special cream or some type of laser treatment? A: There is no nonsurgical equivalent to what eyelid and brow lift surgery can do, but there are some laser treatments that offer some mild to

moderate improvement – certainly far better than what any type of topical cream can do. Fractional lasers are different than traditional ones because they treat only a fraction of the skin surface, but each tiny laser point or dot penetrates deeper. Because eyelid skin is so thin (the epidermis is only .04 millimeters thick), it requires a series of light laser treatments (one to four) to prevent a burn injury and get some really visible improvement. Studies have shown patients get a 25-percent to 50-percent improvement with half of the patients maintaining a 1- to 2-millimeter eyebrow lift one year later. Recovery is usually about three to four days after each treatment.

Potter spins stone as craftsmanship fades Commentary by Don Knebel Nothing more exemplifies modern India than the call centers my wife and I visited in Bangalore. The jobs are so stressful that break rooms with video games are provided as incentives for people who stick it out for more than a few months, yet young people from all over India apply, trying to gain access to the life a regular paycheck can provide. Not everyone in India is happy with what is going on in Bangalore. On the same trip, we visited a tiny village in which an elderly potter was making clay vessels by the only method he knows. Balancing a large, round stone on a small rock, he spun the stone faster and faster until it had enough momentum to keep spinning while he formed a lump of wet clay into whatever vessel the people in the village needed. Something new had recently come to his village. Connected to a power line strung on a pole is an old TV set, tied to a satellite receiver that provides the first view the villagers have had of the Indian call centers and Bollywood movies. As a result, sons are no longer content to practice the vocations of their fathers, but want, instead, to go the city where they can earn money and buy things they never before even imagined. Through a translator, the potter told us, with a hint of a tear in his eye, none of his sons want to be a potter. As a result, when he is no longer

able to spin that stone, the other villagers will lose their only source for the many things the potter has always provided. Neither he nor the villagers know what they will do when that day comes. For some people in India, the price of progress is very high. Don Knebel works for Barnes & Thornburg LLP. You may contact him at editorial@youarecurrent.com.

Serious insect fear seriously overrated

“Our mission includes recognizing opportunities to support the performing arts in our community.”

- Dr. Tammy Wittmann

Gardening by Holly Lindzy “Arachnophobia” is more than just a creepy movie; it’s a real condition involving real fears. And I certainly cannot fathom what it would be like to have such deep-rooted fear. It would cause hysterics upon sight of a spider. But then again, phobias are irrational fears, and that’s pretty extreme. What makes perfect sense, of course, are those people without phobias – spider, insect or otherwise, killing critters as they go along in life for no real reason other than they like to throw shoes. And why not? I mean, they’re like onesixteenth the size of a human. We clearly need to stay on guard. I mean you could be rolling over in bed one night and trap one, and then it could bite you. That would be horrific. Around central Indiana, your chances of rolling onto a poisonous spider are pretty slim, but still … think of the little, round painful bump it will leave. Thank goodness you’re asleep and will never even know. It’d be different if they had any redeeming value at all. Something like voracious preying on really icky bugs, or maybe an important part of the food chain, even, for other “more-desirable” wildlife. That would make spiders way better and we could maybe live with them after all. Wait. You see where I’m going with this … Being the self-proclaimed insect advocate I am, I have a mission in life to save the helpless

Offering Comprehensive, NON-DILATED exams creatures of the world. Most times, be it bug, bee or bigger, they don’t even “bug” us one bit and you don’t even know they’re there. Why not, instead of sole-smacking every insect or spider you see, put a glass over it, slide a paper under the glass and transport the little guy outside … to his family and friends? Here’s the thing, bugs are living creatures. They can’t help they’re creepy and crawly. Imagine what they must think of you. So live and let live.

New shower design serves family’s needs Commentary by Larry Greene Original bathroom: This home, located in the Bayhill subdivision on the east side of Carmel, was built about 12 years ago. The homeowners have two sons, 25 and 30, and each has a disability. When they built the house, both boys were still walking, so they had their bathroom built with an Americans with Disabilities Act shower with wheelchair accessibility. As the boys became less able to maneuver on their own, the limitations of the original design became apparent. Shower drain problems: The only drain in the bathroom was in the center of the shower. Water from the shower tended to drain all over the bathroom floor with nowhere to go. The owners commented, “After years of dealing with soaking towels and a floor beginning to heave from the water, we decided it was time to renovate the space to better suit the present and future needs of our sons.” Special shower details: The homeowners worked with the design team to come up with a design that suited the needs of the family. The original shower/bath area was turned into one large, walk-in shower with a built-in bench along the entire back wall. Two shower heads

were installed in a space that can accommodate wheelchairs. Glass blocks were installed in the window area to allow light with privacy. In the previous design, the bench and floor were slippery when wet, making the space dangerous. The new shower floor includes flamed granite tile, which undergoes a procedure that pops the crystals off the granite, giving it texture and is, therefore, not slippery. To deal with the drainage issue, a linear drain was installed against the back wall under the bench, allowing the whole shower floor to be gently sloped back, rather than creating a bowl-like effect to a center drain.

Cover story

What those in the know want the rest of us to know about the disorder By Darla Kinney Scoles • editorial@youarecurrent.com

(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 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. For more information on autism, visit www. handsinautism.org/pdf/WIAbrochure.pdf and www.handsinautism.org/pdf/sensoryman.pdf.

Editors note: Some of the names in this report have been omitted at the source's request. Autism Awareness Month has come to an end, but those who deal with autism every month have a few things they would like 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:

Wendy K. and Jimmy: A journey of hope

“Our concerns particularly arose over (Jimmy’s) language regression,” said Wendy K. of Australia, the mother of Jimmy. “That took us to the path of seeking the advice of a pediatrician who, on our very first appointment, said, ‘Your son has autism.’ “He painted a fairly bleak picture for our son. As it turned out, our boy is at the most severe end of the autism spectrum and has needed some very specialized help during the years. “I said to my husband, ‘I want to come to the U.S. (from Australia).’ I’ve heard this is where great programs are, and in particular, I’d heard about the Behavior Analysis Center for Autism (in Fishers). And what I saw just blew me away.” Scott Dueker, Jimmy’s therapist from BACA in Fishers, spoke of Jimmy’s progress. “When his mom tells me something he (Jimmy) has done at home, that he’s learned here and he’s translating to home, it makes me feel wonderful because we know he’s learning,” Dueker said. “He’s gaining generalization skills. The things he’s learning here he can take into his home and into the community and be successful.”

Sharon and Steve: Those who make a real difference

“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 meltdown 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. www.currentzionsville.com

Griffin Nickels, illustrator of "My Brother is Artisitic," looks over his pictures in the book. His work is a top “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: “My Brother is Artistic”

Webb

“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 Current in Zionsville

Melanie and Jason: Treated with kindness and understanding

“People on the autism spectrum did not choose to have autism. Their daily life is a struggle as they cope with sensory issues, lack of communication skills and more,” said Melanie* of Noblesville, mother of 11-year-old Jason*. “How would others feel if they had to deal with constant noise that literally hurts their ears, tags and threads on clothing that feel like a knife, etc.? That’s why we see unusual behavior. They are trying to cope. They are loved and cherished by their family members who often work day and night to provide an atmosphere of love, a safe environment and a family life that is somewhat ‘normal.’ “I would like to see all people be treated with kindness and understanding, regardless of their diagnosis. I have done many presentations at Jason’s school and I always stress to the kids that usually when they see someone acting different, their first thought is ‘He or she is weird.’ I would like their thought to be, ‘Hmm, that’s different; I should try to understand how to be his or her friend.’ “We got help very early – age 3. My attitude has always been we would not let autism define our family. It has, though, in so many ways, but we just try to work around things and carry on. I have never been hesitant to get help when I need it.” May 1, 2012 | 11
