The Future of Pain Care is Here!

“I am happy as can be! It is wonderful to have no back pain after the Laser Treatments from Dr. Srini”……… Robert Russell who is still back pain free at 8 months after treatment, is the world’s first patient to receive the minimally invasive Deep Tissue Low Intensity Laser Therapy (DT-LILT™) for failed back surgery syndrome. DT-LILT™ involves a new contact laser device for selectively destroying the C pain fibers while leaving the healthy tissues intact. DTLILT™ is invented by Dr. Srini and is first of its kind in the world. DT-LILT™ is NOT FDA approved and is available only at Advanced Interventional Pain Center.

“ I would say the future of pain care is here. With terrible leg pain I had hardly played any golf for the last 2 years. After getting just one treatment from Dr. Srini, I cannot believe that I completed the entire 18 holes with absolutely no pain ”….. Otis Oliver, after permanent pain relief from peripheral vascular pain. He does not require surgery.

“ I had severe tail bone pain and sciatica after falling on a hard object. For five years I had suffered in severe pain visited many treatment facilities and have spent over $ 60,000 in treatments without any pain relief. I am simply delighted that after just one treatment I am pain free”….. Barbara Wolfe, one year after treatment.

“My knees are 100% pain free without surgery after Dr. Srini’s treatment and I feel 10 years younger!”......... Mary Flora (Kokomo, IN)

(Medicare Accepted)

301 E Carmel Drive, Suite D‐100, Carmel, IN 46032; Tel: 317‐641‐5183

“ Over three years I have suffered from terrible headaches, I also had low back pain. I was told there was no hope for my pain condition and was put on addictive medications that affected my everyday functioning. I am simply delighted that I am pain free after 3 treatments by Dr. Srini who explained the science behind my pain condition. He has proven that my incurable pain condition was indeed curable! ”….. Edwina Foust after receiving permanent pain relief from headaches.

My name is Vicki Hinkle. I have struggled with foot pain for many, many years. I have had treatment and surgery from several very experienced, sympathetic doctors over the years with some results. As time went on the foot pain increased to the point to cause life style changes. I enjoyed outdoor hiking, long walks with loved ones and occasionally a day of shopping with friends. I had accepted with sadness; the reality those days were gone. A family member had gone to Dr. Srinivasan for back pain and had experienced wonderful results. I was encouraged to inquire about possible help with my foot pain. I had wonderful results in less than a week after my treatment by Dr. Srinivasan. It has now been several months; I am still pain free. I am able to exercise, accomplished weight loss and enjoy outdoor activities once again. I encourage anyone dealing with pain of any kind to schedule a consultation with Dr. Srinivasan and decide for yourself. The options available to you may give you some of your life back too!

INDIVIDUAL RESULTS WILL VARY. Advanced Interventional Pain Center is the nation’s only pain center to have consistently over 90% pain treatment success rates 4 years in a row. Advanced Interventional Pain Center promotes innovative minimally invasive treatments for long term pain relief without surgery or addictive medications. Advanced Interventional Pain Center aims to reduce healthcare spending by preventing ER visits, Surgical Treatments and Hospitalizations because of Chronic Pain. 2 | May 17, 2011

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that although justice was served in the capture and execution of Osama bin Laden, the war on terror continues. We must remain vigilant. Al Qaida will surely seek retaliation. After ten long years chasing the “most wanted” man in recent U.S. history, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks met his demise through the heroic efforts of the CIA, the U.S. military, and the courageous Navy Seals. Americans gathered in the streets to cheer the good news. Finally, those who lost loved ones in the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, United Airlines Flight #93 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan might finally feel a bit of closure. Truth be told, the witch is not dead, as in the Wizard of Oz. The goals of Al Qaida are pandemic. After the war in Afghanistan, bin Laden became a revered figurehead for Al Qaida. Others took on the work of leading and directing the war against the Infidels. Numerous other organizations have joined in the effort to eradicate non-Muslim Western culture. Now is not the time to let down our guard. Bin Laden’s death may have kicked up a hornet’s nest. The Holy War hasn’t ended.

Checks and balances

It is our position that residents and businesses are drawn to Hamilton County because it offers adequate and well-maintained roads, tasteful and manageable growth, first-class police and fire protection, and abundant parks and recreational opportunities – and relatively low taxes. Because of Republican dominance, recent primary elections effectively determined who will serve in many local offices. However, the voters who elected these representatives hold many different views on how to prioritize among these often-competing goals. Every objective impacts another: For example, increased growth may benefit the tax base but cause traffic congestion, or more parks and recreational opportunities may put pressure on taxes. At the very least, a dollar spent in one area is one less dollar available elsewhere. It is our view that within our councils and commissions, the diversity of views held by residents must be reflected and civilly advocated – even if dissention is required. When budgets are drawn and priorities established, there will inevitably be some who would have made different choices. That’s OK, as long as the “losing” priority was adequately considered. Oneparty rule should not mean there is only one view when it comes

FROM THE BACKSHOP

Looking out for you, our readers The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts is our region’s world-class music-and-theatre venue. No entity has been more out front and more supportive of that effort than Current. When others were running negative stories about construction gaffes, costs and the like, we did not jump on that bandwagon, because, in truth, those things happen when a massive complex rises out of the ground. But let us tell you what most certainly is not world-class, and that is the way we (and you, by extension) are being treated by the center’s leadership team. A couple weeks ago in this space, we broke news from multiple unidentified sources about a portion of The Palladium’s upcoming schedules. We wrote that in the shadow of our press run – right up against it, actually - and believed strongly in what we were told. As it turns out, our sources were on the money. We “scooped” the official announcement only because we believed that multiple other media would have it first (many already knew about it), and we wanted you to receive that information from us. There was talk on the street, as they say. After our report, we

were told for the record by an executive at the center that its advertising schedule would be pulled from Current Publishing products in a punitive response. Now, we have learned from John Hughey, the public relations manager for The Center for the Performing Arts, that, in an additional punitive action, we (and you, by extension) are now cut off from receiving news releases issued by the center. Remember, we’re not the big-city daily with beat reporters. We actually use news releases in formulating our weekly editorial plan. “Regrettably, the Center will not be able to assist Current on stories and articles at the present time. I do not currently have you on our news release list,” Hughey wrote us in an e-mail response to our own e-mail inquiry about Current suddenly not receiving such information. We’re not shooting Hughey here. We believe he was instructed to respond that way, although we have no way to prove it. Just look at the chain of events and draw your own conclusion. What really matters here is that that you are being affected in actions against our company. Remember, too, that many taxpayers in our midst are helping to fund this organization,

Brian Kelly & Steve Greenberg a 501(c)3, that has chosen to cut an exclusive information-release deal with a media company based out of state. We view these actions as a slap at our readership, actually. On your behalf, and as the local newspaper with 100-percent household penetration, we will not be deterred in our information-gathering process. When there is news to break, we will, indeed, break it. All of it. Bank on it. You and your fellow readers deserve nothing less.

Putting the brakes on Facebook By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers I’ve instituted a FaceBreak. It … may actually be more painful than it sounds. As much as I lament the ubiquity of social media, if there’s one constant companion on my laptop’s monitor, it’s Facebook. At first glance, that might be odd, since I’ve never actually added information to my profile, and only sporadically post status updates. And I don’t play Farmville or Mafia Wars (furthermore, I’ll delete friends in a heartbeat if they start filling up my newsfeed with updates about their lost cow). The main use I have for Facebook, aside from being a general bulletin board of sorts for upcoming events, is its regrettably terrible chat function. And it really is terrible in so many ways – not the least of which is that it now records all messages sent, assuredly part of some larger plot by CEO Mark Zuckerberg to get invites to all of the best parties. The Internet and I grew up together, in a manner of speaking … at least the Internet as we think of it, which is to say a vast, gaping abyss of bloggers and cat pictures. Part of that shared experience was the instant messaging service: AIM, MSN, Yahoo. It was for my generation – which, as a side note, still hasn’t really acquired a satisfactory label equivalent to “Generation X” (although I do like “Echo Boomers”)

– what texting is for my younger sister’s age group. She and I would probably get lumped together in a demographic study, but I would quibble with any sociologist who doesn’t think there’s something significant in that six-year difference that leaves me with memories of a time before even dial-up was common in households, and her with likely only the vaguest idea of what dial-up is. I digress, though. The point is, she texts, I instant message. And since Facebook utterly dominates us Echo Boomers, rather than logging into an instant messaging service I haven’t touched in five years, I leave the window up. The problem with Facebook, I find, is the “social window shopping” effect it can lead to. Just like walking from storefront to storefront looking at, I don’t know … cakes, without ever buying one would leave you with a grumbling, empty stomach, browsing through endless photographs of friends and digital banter can leave you just as hollow – hungering for the real thing. Plus, I should almost always be doing something more productive anyway. For example, writing this column. Jordan Fischer is the managing editor of Current in Fishers.

Especially when the couple really does seem to love each other. My husband and I both agreed that Kate and William acted just like we did when were married: They joked, laughed, fidgeted, and appeared nervous and excited at the same time. It’s no wonder people cry at occasions such as these, the start of a new life for two people. I even found myself getting a bit teary-eyed until the cameras panned the crowd and caught Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice looking like Dr. Seuss’s version of Cinderella’s two ugly stepsisters. Hysterical! Dried my eyes right up! But I guess the biggest pull to the wedding for me was personal. One of my grandmothers was British (literally fell in a bomb hole in

London while pushing my dad in a pram during WWII!), and I actually have dual-citizenship with “the realm” thanks to some archaic clause about both my father and grandfather having been born in England. Undoubtedly, I am more in tune to the royal family than most Yanks. So ignoring the splendor of the day’s festivities, just seeing London and Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace decked to the nines was exhilarating for me. Not so much for Doo, who has yet to travel to the Isles, although he was completely enamored by the various military uniforms on display and the intricacies of royal succession and etiquette. And both of us enjoyed the spectacular array of British sports cars. (It was better than a Bond movie!) We can’t wait to take our kids across the pond to experience the history, and let’s face it, majesty, of England. I know there were a lot of people who couldn’t stand the media hype building up to and during the wedding day activities, but in all honesty, I think it was a wonderful moment in history that came at just the right time. And I can’t wait to see what happens when it’s Prince Harry’s turn! Gingers unite! Peace out.

COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson Did you watch the royal wedding? My husband and I couldn’t seem to get enough of it, which is weird because we normally don’t follow the lives of celebrities (unless we run in to actual celebrities in an L.A. bakery, of course!). I can’t speak for Doo, but I think my fascination stemmed from several factors, including memories of childhood dreams, a need for happy news, and my British heritage. I was nine when Diana and Charles married, and can still remember sitting with my parents and sisters watching that wedding. Oh how I wanted to wear an enormous ball gown, walk down an aisle longer than my street, and marry a handsome prince! I mean, what little girl doesn’t yearn for her happily ever after? So to witness another fairy tale wedding, particularly one where the bride was not royalty, reminds me dreams do really come true. (Thanks to the extensive television coverage, my youngest daughter is already plotting her royal engagement. She plans to attend “university” somewhere in England to improve her odds. Princess Madelaine has a lovely ring, doesn’t it?) I also think the reason we’ve been unable to pass up any channel showing wedding highlights is the need for good news. I’ve said this before, but I have enough worries with family and work to spend my precious free time

The academy, begun 10 years ago by Sgt. Ed Gebhart, is a weeklong training course for teens ages 13-17 to better understand how law enforcement works. Among other lessons, students will experience scenario-based training on such things as traffic stops, drug investigations and domestic disputes. Of course, according to FPD Sgt. Randy McFarland, there will also be pushups. “We try to give them a taste of the structure and discipline of the police department,” he said.

Make your apologies count RELATIONSHIPS By Jeschke Apologies are hard. To apologize effectively, we have to put aside our feelings of being hurt and wronged by a person, and focus only on what we did wrong. But this is difficult, because usually when I find myself needing to apologize to someone, I am also convinced they are at least as much as fault as I am. The 1980s film “A Fish Called Wanda” captured the spirit of many apologies. In the scene where Kevin Kline’s character was sent to apologize to John Cleese, Kline was so angry that he punched Cleese in the face each time he said I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. WHAM. I’m so very very sorry. WHAM. … Many times, my apologies are just about as effective. Although I rarely actually hit the person I’m apologizing to, I often figuratively slap him or her by loading my apology with excuses and reasons why the other person really was at fault. As a result, my apologies usually come out like this: I’m sorry I yelled, but you should know not to interrupt me during “American Idol.” Or, I’m sorry if you got upset when I crashed your car. Or, I’m sorry I forgot to tell you your mother called. Maybe you should take your own phone messages in the future. All of these qualifications serve to limit my

responsibility for my own fault in the conflict. If an apology is followed by an immediate challenge for the other person to change his behavior, the person receiving the apology immediately goes back on the defensive. Effectively, they don’t even hear the apology. Instead of qualifying apologies with words like if or but, it is critical that we try hard to figure out what we are really at fault for, and take full responsibility for that failing. For example: I’m sorry I was rude and cut you off when you were telling me about your infected toenail. I realize that is painful for you, and that you feel like I don’t care when I don’t listen. No matter what we think about how the other person should feel or have done differently, when it’s time to apologize, it’s time to focus solely on our own wrongdoing, big or small. An honest heartfelt apology can be a powerful way to open communication and break the cycle of attack-defensiveness-counterattack that pervades during times of conflict. Don’t miss this opportunity.

Help is just a phone call away By Joan Isaac Current in Fishers If you want to enroll your child in a summer enrichment program, do you know your options? If your parent is elderly and needs transportation to a doctor’s appointment, does a service exist? If you can’t afford to buy groceries, would you know where to go? Tracking down answers to these questions IS just a phone call away. Anyone needing help can simply dial 2-1-1 to find out about resources from a trained Connect2Help Specialist. I’ve had numerous conversations with friends, community leaders and neighbors, and very few people know about this valuable resource. Connect2Help, a United Way of Central Indiana (UWCI) agency, facilitates connections between people who need health and human services and those who provide them through a 24-hour referral line. The service is free and confidential. 2-1-1 services came to Indiana in February 2004. 2-1-1 specialists asses the caller’s situation, determine the possibilities for assistance, and explain community programs and how they work. More than a quarter of a million central Indiana residents called Connect2Help (2-1-1) in 2010 for help meeting basic needs. The easy-toremember number is invaluable in times of crisis, because it helps you quickly plug into what could otherwise be a very complicated system. Data from calls to Connect2Help show that 20 percent of Hamilton County callers reported at least one household member was unem-

COMMENTARY By Susan Beaurain It’s May and spring is in the air. But at the Monon Community Center, our minds have been on summer for months. Our planning to provide the community with a summer of fun begins in November. While our staff enjoys turkey, pumpkin pie, and football with family, we sometimes catch ourselves daydreaming about water slides and swim lessons! This year, Aquatics has included some creative and exciting programs and ways to make the water park at the Monon Community Center even more enjoyable than last year. Our swim lessons continue its tradition of providing quality lessons to fit any schedule this summer, starting as young as six months old in groups or private settings.

ployed. Housing, utility assistance and mental health/addictions were the most pressing needs. The service is also critical to agencies trying to help more and more people in these tough times. For most, it means they don’t have to dedicate already precious resources to creating and staffing their own telephone hotlines. To help first responders, schools, hospitals and social service agencies better serve their clients, United Way and Connect2Help partnered to publish a hard copy of the Hamilton County Rainbow BooK™ supplement in 2010. The 2011 edition was just released. In the past year, requests for directories by local first responders have increased significantly. The directory is an essential tool for a community that is focused on improving everyone’s quality of life – especially in these tough economic times. The supplement was created with support from the Hamilton County Task Force and funded by Legacy Fund and Carmel Rotary. Free downloads of the 2011 Hamilton County Rainbow BooK™ supplement are available at www.connect2help.org. Not-for-profit organizations interested in having information included in the online directory should contact Joan Isaac at joan.isaac@uwci.org.

Fire, police departments honor Leslie Hulse By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers Members of the Fishers Police and Fire Departments got together for a friendly game of basketball Sunday for the first annual Leslie Hulse Memorial Cup. Hulse was an detective with the Fishers police special investigations unit, and served as a de facto liaison between the police and fire departments. She passed away in September 2009 after battling breast cancer. The proceeds from the memorial game, which will also pit teachers from Hamilton Southeastern High School and Fishers High School against one another, will go toward funding a scholarship for a high school student in the district who is interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement or public safety. “Leslie was a person that everybody thought a lot of, and that you wanted to be more like,” said FPD Lt. Cameron Ellison. Ellison said he counted Hulse as a close friend, and was one of the organizers of the memorial game. “When I think about her, it’s about her strength and her ability just to make people around her want to be better,” Ellison said. “And of course, everybody talks about her smile.” “She was one of my spiritual giants,” added FPD Sgt. Randy McFarland. “So many people would call

her their best friend.” For more information about the Leslie Hulse Memorial Fund, visit www.lesliehulse.org, or email lisa@ lesliehulse.org.

Inspector general clears Secretary of State White on Rokita report Current in Fishers The Indiana inspector general has issued a report clearing Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White of any wrongdoing regarding access to a report prepared by his predecessor, Todd Rokita. Prosecutors had alleged Secretary White had wrongfully accessed the report, yet the report indicates nothing improper. Charlie White served as a member of the Fishers Town Council before being elected to state office. He was indicted March 3 on multiple charges, including voter fraud and serving on a town council while ineligible. Along with the report, the inspector general clears the way to release the Rokita report per the request of Secretary White almost two months ago. Rokita had previously made the report inaccessible by public records request. In pushing transparency within the office, White’s administration had promised to release the report pending approval from the Indiana attorney general, the Indiana public access counselor and the Indiana inspector general. With the inspector general being the last to sign off as of this morning, the report is being prepared for public access. The complete report by the inspector general can be found at http://www.in.gov/ sos/files/Inspector_Generals_Report.pdf The March 11 request from Deputy Secretary of State Jerry Bonnet to the office of the inspector general requesting the release of the Rokita report can be found at http://www.in.gov/sos/files/Letter_from_Deputy_SOS_to_Inspector_General.pdf The Rokita report will be made available electronically to the public online at the Secretary White’s official Web site found at www.sos.IN.gov.

With few resources available to Hoosiers with brain injuries, Scott McNichols perseveres with help from his mother By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers “I’m just doing what any mother would do,” said Becky McNichols, watching her 32-year-old son, Scott, being raised into the Hamilton County Express bus. The bus pulls away to take Scott to the Monon Center in Carmel, and McNichols worries that he’ll be too hot in his blue jeans. Then she picks at a few stray weeds in a small flower patch in her front lawn, hoping rain will come early enough in the day that she’ll be able to pull them after they dry. For the past seven years, McNichols has been caretaker, sole provider, and advocate for Scott, who suffered a life-altering brain injury in a snowboarding accident in March of 2004. The accident left him wheelchair-bound and quadriparetic, with little to no function or control over his arms and legs. He also suffers seizures and body contractions, and must be monitored continuously to avoid dehydration, which poses extra risks for persons with brain injuries. “That’s when our journey began…” There are pictures of Scott McNichols and his younger siblings, brother Michael, 28, and sister Leigh, 26, scattered throughout his mother’s living room. The one she points to first, though, is of him alone, captured just fractions of a second before striking a soccer ball. “He won four state championships with North Central High School,” McNichols says proudly. After college – Scott went to Indiana University, as did his younger brother and sister – he traveled to Kirkwood, California, to work at the Kirkwood Mountain Resort, a haven for ski enthusiasts. “Scott had the opportunity that many of us don’t … to realize his dream,” McNichols said. On March 8, 2004, Scott struck a tree at 30 mph while snowboarding. The collision caused a shearing injury, or a diffuse axonal injury, one of the most devastating types of brain trauma. More than 90 percent of patients who suffer a severe DAI never regain consciousness. Scott was airlifted off the mountain to a trauma hospital in Reno, Nevada, where his mother flew out to stay with him for six weeks before she was finally able to have him airlifted back to

www.youarecurrent.com

Indianapolis. “That’s when our journey began,” McNichols remembers. The long battle Much of Becky McNichols’ time now is spent lobbying legislators and advocating for more information and medical options for persons with traumatic brain injuries. After a difficult process of pushing for more support, McNichols was able to get a Medicare waiver from the state to take Scott to the Rainbow Rehabilitation Center in Detroit. The waiver was necessary, McNichols said, because there are almost no services available in Indiana for brain injury rehabilitation patients in the ages between childhood and elderly care. And the waiting list for out-of-state waivers can stretch into the years. “There’s no resources,” she says. “There’s nothing that would say, ‘Oh, Becky, your son has a brain injury. Here’s a list of things you can do.’ There’s nothing there, and nobody to tell you what to do.” “It’s only because I kept asking for more and pushing that I finally found out what my options were,” McNichols says. McNichols was one of the leading proponents of SB 24, authored by Sen. Patricia Miller, R-District 32, which cleared the Indiana State Senate but died in the House after the Committee on Public Health refused to give it a hearing. The bill would have established an Indiana Brain Injury Commission to study whether more treatment options should be made available in-state. Currently, Indiana spends $10 million annually on out-of-state treatment for Hoosiers with brain injury.

Current in Fishers

Because of a lack of in-state treatment options, McNichols said Scott has lost much of what he learned at Rainbow Rehab, including what speech ability he had regained. Scott now communicates with limited hand signals and facial expressions. “There’s a myth that wherever you are in a year or two, that’s where you’ll be for the rest of your life,” McNichols said. “That’s not true. For example, Scott didn’t learn to eat solid food on his own until year three.” Even simple things like transportation become expensive challenges. McNichols praises Hamilton County Express for getting Scott around the county, but she says that to get to a doctor’s appointment in Indianapolis, or anywhere outside of Hamilton County, a lack of public transportation options forces her to put him in his wheelchair in the back of her SUV. Recently, one of Scott’s biggest sources of exercise and social engagement was removed when Medicare refused to cover his physical therapy in the Fishers YMCA pool. McNichols says the agency instead sent Scott to a physical therapist at St. Vincent Hospital in Carmel, at a much higher cost. “I want my son to have a quality of life,” McNichols says. “He’s watching his friends and siblings starting lives, getting married. Why not let him go to the pool? Why not let him go to the fair?” McNichols has been working with the Brain Injury Group of Indiana to spread information and contact other persons with brain injuries for support, and to help them tell their stories. She also continues to meet with legislators and health care officials to seek more treatment options in state. “We’re not asking for money,” McNichols says, “we’re offering to assess the situation. We want to be fiscally responsible, but address the issues of this very needy community.” “I love my son dearly,” she says. “I just want the best for him.”

» Author’s visit – Author Michael Shoulders visited students at New Britton Elementary School recently, sharing with students how he develops his ideas, the way authors and illustrators work together and in many cases never see each other as well as how books are put together. Shoulders is the author of more than a dozen children’s books, including “Say Daddy!,” “V is for Volunteer” and “The ABC of American Homes.” » Wind ensemble - The HSE High School Wind Ensemble Concert Band performed at

the Indiana State School Music Association (ISSMA) Concert Band Finals May 7, earning a third place ranking. The ensemble was critiqued by college band directors from Kentucky, Florida and Texas. This is the eleventh year HSE has had an ensemble in the ISSMA State Concert Band Finals since 1998.

» Project ACES - Fishers Elementary students took part in Project ACES (all children exercising simultaneously) on May 4. Millions of children from all 50 states and over 50 countries exercised together that day. Susy Stanfield, the physical education teacher, led the entire student body and staff in exercises and aerobic dance on the playground. Students and staff dressed in “country” attire and country music was coordinated with the exercise program. It promotes healthy activities and making daily exercise a lifelong habit. For more information, contact 594-4160.

Finals time: How should you study? EDUCATION By Paul McCarthy We have arrived at that time of year all students dread: finals. Many students feel they are not good test takers. In reality, they more likely are not good studiers. It’s probably too late to change how your student reads textbooks, takes notes or organizes for review (at least for this year), but it’s not too late for them to adopt better study habits with respect to the big test. Many of us remember repeatedly looking at our notebooks, review sheets and textbooks and continually reviewing the same material. Usually late in the game. We called it cramming. More recently, many teachers have advocated a new process for retaining information called “concept mapping.” Students are asked to diagram the material by writing details, facts and ideas in bubbles and connecting them in an organized fashion. The students are employing logical thinking and are forced to make connections among facts, thus helping them to see how individual ideas form a larger whole. New research, however, shows another method beats both of these. The fancy name is “retrieval practice testing.” Taking a practice test and being forced to recall pertinent information and facts actually makes it easier for a student to recall that information on a real test. Why this

works is not completely known, but perhaps it is because the struggle involved in recalling something helps reinforce it in their brains. What they recall becomes more recallable in the future, and practicing making a connection will help their brain recognize it next time. What is the practical application? When your student is studying, they should avoid cramming. They need to alternate subjects and make sure they are spacing out their studying. If they learn it fast, they will lose it fast. When reviewing notes and texts, they should always move from general idea, to main points, to details. They should review things in logical sections. Most importantly, they need to give themselves (or have you give them) frequent quizzes. Try things like having them cover up the details and recite them as they stare at the main idea. At the end of each section, they need to test themselves. When they do well, they can be rewarded with a snack or just a five-minute break. If they don’t do well, go back and do that section again.

But some airlines have withdrawn from these sites and sometimes even offer better deals. Start your search at sites like kayak.com, fly.com and tripadvisor.com – meta search engines that aggregate fares from a number of sources. However, you should search all three meta-engines, because they cover different OTAs. And you’ll still have to search some airlines individually, such as Southwest, Allegiant and Vision. -Money » Roast your own coffee – You can roast your own coffee beans using a popcorn popper.

When stroke strikes, know your signs.

Emergency Services

The Emergency Services Department at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast can offer whatever care you might need in an instant — with a tender touch.

Stroke. The word alone can be scary. It has a reputation

for conjuring up thoughts of debilitating side effects and surprise attacks. But the truth is that there actually are warning signs of an oncoming stroke. And if you know the signs, you have a greater chance of protecting yourself.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in America. It occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen-rich blood to the brain is blocked by a clot, and the affected part of the brain becomes starved for oxygen. A stroke is often referred to as a “brain attack” because it injures the brain in the same way a heart attack injures the heart. The older you get, the greater your chance of having a stroke. Statistics suggest that after age 55, your chance for stroke doubles every decade. While stroke kills nearly 160,000 people every year, your chances of surviving one are much greater if you know the signs.

According to the American Stroke Association, there are five major signs of stroke you should be aware of: • Numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body • Sudden confusion and trouble speaking and understanding • Difficulty seeing in one or both eyes • Dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, and sudden difficulty walking • A sudden and severe headache with no known cause Knowing these signs could save your life. And if you experience any of these symptoms, or notice them in someone you’re with, you should call 911 immediately. There are also some things you can do to prevent stroke, such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise, and watching your blood pressure and cholesterol. And don’t forget to visit your healthcare provider regularly.

“Being a smaller facility, we have a family atmosphere, and that’s what keeps people coming back to us,” ED Manager Heidi Abel said. “We’re proud of the fact that we run in the 99th percentile in patient satisfaction. That sets us apart.” Our laboratory and imaging services are just down the hall, so patients are diagnosed quickly. And two of our rooms are specifically designed for pediatric patients. The Emergency Department is also fully equipped to handle stroke emergencies. If you or someone you know is experiencing a stroke, time is of the essence. Reaching the hospital within one hour of symptom onset can make all the difference. Emergency Services St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast 13914 E. State Road 238 Fishers

Bowel inflammation can result in diarrhea, bloody stool and abdominal pain. Symptoms include producing more than 10 bowel movements per day. Early warning signs include poor appetite, lack of energy and nausea. Lactose Intolerance. Teens with lactose intolerance do not produce enough lactase — the digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose in dairy products. Symptoms include abdominal pain, gas and diarrhea. Gastroesophageal Reflux. Also is known as acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus. Teens may experience chest pain, heartburn and coughing.

DISPATCHES » Freshen laundry with alcohol – You can keep your clothes smelling fresher with vodka — really! Simply spritz your duds with the stuff, then hang to dry in a well-ventilated area. (Do a spot-test first to be safe.) Vodka kills odorcausing bacteria, but doesn’t leave a scent when dry. -www.thedailygreen.com » Quieter appliances, home – Because of their super-fast rotation, many front-loading washers vibrate if on a wood-framed floor and can even crack tiles. Consumer Reports found that pads or feet didn’t do much to reduce the shaking. Instead, the magazine recommended the Steadywash, which it said couldn’t stop the wiggling completely but greatly reduced vibrations sent through the floor. CR’s best-rated front-loaders with low vibration are the Kenmore 4027 ($800) and LG WM2050C ($700). -Consumer Reports » Best makeup for lines – Most anti-aging makeup contains light-reflecting particles that create an instant optical illusion. Luminosity definitely softens the appearance of lines, but not alone. Look for sheer and creamy formulations. Powder, in addition to emphasizing dryness, can crease and cake up, calling attention to wrinkles. For the area that tends to bother women most — the outer eye — highlighter is a particularly good crow’s feet camo. Try Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Conceal and Brighten, with a peptide-packed concealer on one end and highlighter on the other ($35, Sephora). -www.goodhousekeeping.com

Custom versus ready-made COMMENTARY By Vicky Earley Custom window treatments are the sector of interior decor that seems to be shrouded in mystery. Most homeowners recognize custom does look different from ready-made, but few can readily pinpoint why. Ready-made window treatments, available since first introduced by mail order in the 1920s, have garnered appeal over the years. While it is quicker and less intimidating to pick up “ready to go” drapery at a chain decor store than it is to plan and execute a custom look with the aid of a professional, the final product almost always falls short. The first element to consider is the type of thread used in the fabrication. Clear nylon tread is the first red flag. Nylon can dissolve during the dry-cleaning process, so it is generally used only in inexpensive applications. Quality window treatments will generally be fabricated with cotton or a cotton-poly blend thread that is color matched to the fabric. Custom window treatments will have a weighted bottom, while ready-made treatments fall haphazardly. A custom silk or poly/silk window treatment will often include a fleece interlining or English Bump Cloth as well as lining. This added layer provides additional dimension and richness. As much as 25-30 percent of a home’s energy can be lost through windows, so this custom touch is as hard working as it is beautiful. If considering a ready-made window treatment, an examination of the pattern match might change your mind. This is often an area that is ignored in mass production, and stripes that are off are can be a visual irritation! Custom window treatments should be matched with meticulous care, both vertically and

horizontally. Identify the type of fabric that a window treatment is comprised of. Ready-mades are often constructed of fabrics that are not the proper weight to balance a window. A screen-print cotton might be fine for a guest bath but totally ineffective for a dining room. If at all possible, avoid the ready-mades that are not lined. Years ago, I used a bold color, unlined in my first apartment only to receive a notice in my mailbox asking that I substitute them with white or lined drapery. Also, consider the type of lining – to ensure the lining is rot proof, sun proof and water resistant, it is almost always necessary to go the custom route. Ready-made panels are generally constructed just like a pillowcase with a simple seam connecting the lining with the face fabric. Custom treatments generally sport as much as a two-inch hem on the sides to eliminate the lining from being visible. Ready-mades are often not identical in length due to mass production processes, while custom gives the option of fine details such as covered buttons, fringe, cording and the opulence of puddling. I completely understand there is a need and a place for the ready-made drapery market. The low cost makes it quite attractive. If at all possible, however, it should be reserved for apartment dwellers and first-time homeowners. Beyond that, custom fabrication offers a look that frames and softens a room in a way that no piece of art or accessory can.

Should I stretch before a workout? FITNESS By April Conard Ask most active people if they believe they should stretch before and after their workout, and they’ll likely answer with a resounding, “Yes!” (Even if they don’t always comply). Certainly at one time we’ve heard that pre-workout stretching prevents injury. And right now, it is pretty much gospel that stretching immediately after activity prevents soreness. Here is the question: What is stretching really for, and when is it really worth our time and effort? Let’s back up and talk about the long and short of it. Muscle is elastic in nature. It can expand to a point, and then it returns to its resting or shortened state. Any activity requires muscles to stretch to a certain degree; how much it stretches depends on the activity. So when a muscle is stretched regularly, it develops the ability to stretch further, and the affiliated joints increase their range of motion (flexibility). The opposite is true as well: If the muscle is not stretched often, it will stay shortened, and the joints are less mobile and your range of motion decreases. Which brings me back to the question: Is stretching good for me, and when should I do it? Before a workout: No. It is very old school to “stretch” before working out; now we are encouraged to warm up the muscle rather than give it a static stretch. In fact, stretching before your workout can actually give you an injury, not prevent one. After a workout: Yes. Stretching after your workout will not prevent soreness. The soreness you feel is from mircotears to tissue, and only time can repair this delayed-onset muscle soreness. However, stretching after exercise will help restore muscle to its resting state, essentially allowing you to maintain your current level of flexibility, preventing tightness. Flexibility used to be a term I associated with gymnasts, but if you look from the point of view of how it affects your joints, it becomes more important. We all know someone who is aging and joint mobility has become an issue. So the answer is yes, you should stretch; not because it will prevent soreness, not because it can make you run faster, but because it will help you maintain your quality of life now and later.

Props for props COMMENTARY By David Cain I was watching a game last week. The mascot, a familiar sports team friend, was hopping around, waving and dancing. This character was hard to miss. While I like to think only my kids like the mascot, I will say that there is definitely a link between that furry fellow and my brain. You see, my brain likes things that are tangible. It likes things, no matter how cheesy, it can attach to and remember. If I showed up at a presentation and gave my talk and in the middle I took out a hammer and crashed it to the podium saying, “You’ve got to bring down the hammer!” people would remember that. They would see the hammer as a tangible prop, and their memory would attach to it, embedding the words I say in their memory of that experience. It’s why having visuals, when you explain things to people, helps. What helps even more is explaining with things they can touch and feel.

Current in Fishers

When I teach my kids math, we use sticks or buttons in lieu of paper and pens. When they pick things up and move them, these tangible props become better understood. They become easier to remember, because they are real. It doesn’t matter if the audience for my presentation is a 5-year-old or a 50-year-old; we all like tangible things that we can attach to. My presentations now include props I use to help tell my story. Tangible things that people can understand and relate to quickly. Props assist with the story and create a more memorable experience. Stories that are accompanied by tangible things are much easier to understand. Is there a prop for the story of what you do? If not, it might be worth inventing.

What helps even more is explaining with things they can touch and feel.

Mackenzie River Pizza Company How high do you see gas prices going this summer? “I think it’ll get up to $4.75, but it won’t hit $5. I think people are going to stop driving as much if it hits $5, and I think that’s sort of what OPEC is trying to avoid: people buying less gas.” Austin North Fishers “I don’t know. Maybe $5. It just seems to keep climbing, and when the demand goes up in the summer time when people are traveling more, I think the prices are going to skyrocket.” Krista Shields Fishers “I think they won’t go over $5, but I think it’ll go back down by the end of the summer.

Living healthfully not all it’s cracked up to be HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie My wife has renewed our subscription to Prevention magazine. I say “our” subscription because she reads it and then sticks the articles in my face. The purpose of this annoying publication is to make you worry about nearly every aspect of your life from the second you wake up in the morning and fail to drink organic orange juice to the second you fall asleep and start battling sleep apnea because you have a chubby neck. Those who write for Prevention are opposed to almost anything its readers could possibly digest. Over the history of this monthly periodical, everything you have ever put in your mouth gets raked over the coals. Oh, you can nibble on raw cauliflower or dip florets of broccoli into a savory sauce made of skim milk and low-fat yogurt, but once the phrase “Mmmmm, that’s really good” comes out of your mouth, that’s an indication you have put something bad into it. Much of the advertising in this magazine is for drugs that will treat your coronary disease, gout, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, polyps and acne, which is a strong hint that all this nutrition advice is a bunch of hooey and that you might as well pop a pill and get back to enjoying life. Eat ribs, take Lipitor and get a three-year subscription

to this magazine. I think that’s about as much as I’m willing to commit to my longevity. Of course, some decadent foods are advocated by the magazine if consumed in appropriate amounts. On Saturday mornings when Mary Ellen drags me to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, I get an earful about what’s OK to get a mouthful of ... “Dick, did you know that if you eat a serving of peanuts a day, you are 14 percent less likely to have a stroke?” “That may be true. I’ve never seen an elephant with a walker.” “Here’s what else I read. Men over 60 – that’s you – are 30 percent less likely to have a heart attack if they eat fresh fish once a week. Too bad cooking that stuff stinks up the house, or I’d be willing to do that for you.” “What else?” “I also read that you should get your pulse up to 180 at least once a day. How would you do that? “I’d let you read to me from that magazine right before I go to sleep.”

Kitchen remodel: Custom design in older home REMODELING By Larry Greene HISTORY OF THE ORIGINAL HOME: This home is located in the heart of downtown Zionsville and was built nearly 100 years ago. Originally a barn, the home was relocated closer to the road and had various additions added to it over the years. Although the owners love the character of their older home, the kitchen area was just too cramped and boxed in for them to really enjoy it. The homeowner commented, “I never wanted to cook in the old kitchen; it wasn’t fun. I was separated from everything else going on in the house.” The kitchen area was separated into three areas by boxy, interior walls – a table/ hallway area, a game room, and the actual main kitchen. The goal of the design phase was to combine these three areas into one big open space while retaining the original functionality of the three areas. DESIGN STRATEGY: The design schemes were based upon removing walls and opening up the space. Knowing the age of the home, potential structural issues were just as much the

focus as the actual design schemes and material selections. Regarding the overall style, most of the existing rooms in the home had developed a Victorian style and feel to them. However, in contrast, the homeowner wanted the kitchen to feel very modern. A classic shaker door style was chosen for the cabinetry since the clean lines and transitional style would help blend the new kitchen with the remainder of the home. An overall neutral color palette was chosen so the room could be decorated with splashes of color. This also gave the home a very cohesive feel. FINAL RESULTS: The homeowner said, “Dur-

ing construction, my husband and I would race home every night to see what was accomplished. Now that it’s finished, we race home and just stand there and stare, because it’s just so unique and different for us!”

Recognizing and reducing symptoms of stress in your dog COMMENTARY By John Mikesell There are many reasons why it’s important to pay attention to stress indicators, including the following: • Stress is a universal underlying cause of aggression. • Stress can have a negative impact on the dog’s health. • The dog’s ability to learn is impaired when she is stressed. I remember when I first took Izzy to training class; she was so stressed out by the other dogs she couldn’t concentrate on me or her instructions. • Dogs respond poorly to cues when stressed • Negative classical conditioning can occur as a result of stress. There are several signs of stress. I will name a few, and there are many more then we have space for here. Anorexia: Stress causes the appetite to shut down. A dog that won’t eat moderate to high value treats may just be distracted or simply not hungry, but this is more often an indicator of stress Avoidance: Dog turns away, shuts down, and/or evades handler’s touch and treats. Digestive disturbances: Vomiting and diarrhea can be a sign of illness, or stress; the digestive system reacts strongly to stress. Carsickness is often a stress reaction. Hyperactivity: Frantic behavior or just restless pacing, sometimes misinterpreted as ignoring or “blowing off” owner. Excessive grooming: Dog may lick or chew paws, legs, flank, tail, and genital areas, even to the point of self- mutilation. Almost every dog-mauls-toddler headline is followed by an

article that includes, among other things, these two phrases: “The dog was always good with children.” And, “The bite was unprovoked.” Most people who think their dogs are good with children don’t realize that their dogs only tolerate children – the dogs are actually stressed in the presence of children, at least to some degree. Dogs who are truly good with children adore them; they don’t just tolerate them. They are delighted to see children, and, with wriggling body, wagging tail, and squinty eyes, can’t wait to go see them. With the rare exception of idiopathic aggression – aggression for which there is no discernible cause – every bite is provoked, from the dog’s perspective. We as humans may feel the bite wasn’t just or appropriate, but rest assured the dog felt justified in biting. What you can do: • Observe your dog closely and make a list of the behaviors he manifests when stressed. Watch for those subtle ones! • Study the list to determine which stressors you can remove from your dog’s environment. Create a plan to change his association from negative to positive with as many of the stressors as possible. • Watch other dogs you come across a make note of their signs of stress to improve your stress observation skills. John Mikesell, owner of Izzy’s Place, A dog Bakery in Carmel, can be reached at john.mikesell@att.net.

Pets of the week Patch is a 7 year old male black Shepherd/Lab mix. Patch is a laid-back guy who is looking for a relaxed environment home with someone who will take him for daily walks and a few trips to the dog park. He is good with other dogs and loves romping and playing at the dog park, but towels are a necessity because he also likes to wade into the water! Patch is house trained and knows the commands sit, down, heel, stay and shake. Patch would prefer a home with adults or older children who will treat him with respect. Patch is very loyal to those he trusts most, so he will need an experienced owner to help him feel secure in all situations. Basil is a 7 month old male tabby DSH. Basil really enjoys playing with toys and with his brothers Cajun, Cilantro and Pepper. The four kittens arrived at the shelter when they were just weeks old and needed to be bottle fed. They have been in a foster home where they have become healthy, strong and social kittens and are ready to find their forever home. Basil is very affectionate and is quite the purring machine. With just a scratch under his chin, he will gladly roll onto his side or back and playfully paw at your arm as if to say “Please don’t stop petting me.” For more information on these and other animals at the Humane Society, call 317-773-4974
