OUR VIEWS

It is our position that complacency about personal safety is a dangerous attitude, particularly in adolescents and young adults. Headlines, concerning a missing IU student, remind us that safety should not be taken for granted. We need to remind our children to be vigilant. Parents might ask their children questions like “Is it wise to walk streets alone in the middle of the night?” and “Is it wise to trust people you have only just met?” and “How might drugs and alcohol affect your judgment?” While children are young, we are by their sides, guiding and protecting them. As they grow older and more independent, we must give them the tools to make wise decisions for themselves. What should they know? Sad, but true, no one is truly safe anywhere at any time. The National Institute of Justice reported that one in four college women are raped during their college years. The majority knew their abuser and the majority of abuse took place in the victims’ residences. Just as we teach our children to “buckle up” for safety, we need to take advantage of teachable moments to remind them about other dangers. A cautious attitude could prevent another missing person headline.

Breaking the glass

It is our position that the debt ceiling periodically adjusted upward to account for the lack of fiscal discipline by our Washington bureaucrats is a toothless tiger. All expenditures by the federal government are authorized by Congress. This is the same congress that now debates the wisdom of raising the debt ceiling to appropriately recognize the reality of their over spending. We believe that the “debt ceiling” is no more or less than a negative balance record that need not be given the doomsday importance that it now receives. Once appropriated, funds are available to be spent regardless of the “check book” balance. So long as there are those who are willing to loan money to the USA it is reasonable to expect that politicians interested in pandering to special interests with expectation of support for their reelection will continue to spend money that is not now available or likely to be available in the future. Unfortunately, as every undisciplined credit card holder should understand there comes a day when creditors will no longer finance the bad behavior of deficit spending. If our representatives now understand the importance of balancing that “check book” they need to concentrate on defunding those programs that are wasteful, ineffective or overly burdensome.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

COMMENTARY By Jordan Fischer I was going to write this week about new research published in the July issue of Scientific American examining the evolution of the human eye (actually, the vertebrate eye in general, but no need to split hairs here)… however, after subjecting my co-workers to a 45-minute rant on the problems with the time model used in the Back to the Future movies, I’ve apparently been put on a science timeout, so to speak. Instead, I thought I’d write about the State of Illinois’ decision to remove writing assessments from standardized exams. Now, you might be thinking, this guy’s a writer, surely he’s opposed to this. On some philosophical level, you’d be right, I suppose. Ultimately, however, I’m more of a pragmatist. If, as reported, these writing assessments truly cost the state $2.4 million a year – thus being their motive for cutting them amid budgetary shortfalls – then I’d have to agree the money could be better spent elsewhere. Programs aimed at catching struggling students before they hit the cycle of failing tests on advanced materials they’ve yet to master the basics of, for

Volunteerism: The glue that binds First, we had the Fishers Freedom Festival, and then CarmelFest, Noblesville Fourth of July and Westfield Rocks the 4th. Has anybody recovered yet? Is anybody still struggling to regain his or her footing after a glorious (and steamy) Independence Day celebration? We’re certain many of the volunteers are. They worked their tails off during the celebrations, and most had been toiling – often at the expense of personal income for many – for months prior. It’s that can-do spirit, frankly, that moves us and truly defines a community. From the service organizations in Fishers and Westfield to the Noblesville single mom (who paid for a babysitter so she could work for her community’s event), the effort was as stirring as all the fireworks. In particular, the Trash Troopers at CarmelFest – all those folks dressed in camouflage from head to toe – drew our admiration for taking on the stinkiest, stickiest, nastiest, sweatiest job and doing so with smiles. No doubt, volunteerism is alive and well in Hamilton County, and those who participated should be commended for jobs well done. Those folks, more than anything or anyone else, made our events spectacular successes. ••• Photo albums. Remember those from the predigital era? Well, we’re hoping you’ll agree to comb

example. And realistically, there are other ways to test a student’s writing ability: inclass assessments, (mandatory) school-wide essays, how eloquent their posts on RateMyTeacher.com are. I suppose I may be a bit jaded from having gone through years and years of ISTEP testing, where kids who failed kept failing, and kids who passed kept passing, and the material never really seemed to change between the test we took in elementary school and the test we took in high school. I suppose it did, by way of some new material being added, but that largely had the effect of requiring the same rounds of vaccinations year after year of school, with, say, the MMR shot tacked on one year and Hepatitis-B the next. Ultimately, though, once you’ve been inoculated for Polio, you don’t need anymore Polio shots. It’s just a matter of getting the kid in for his vaccination in the first place.

Ultimately, however, I’m more of a pragmatist.

The end to a girl’s best friend COMMENTARY By Danielle WIlson A sorrowful goodbye all began in the restroom at work when I splashed water on my shirt. I assumed; the spot would evaporate from my favorite shirt in a few minutes. So, I head back to my-classroom yes, I’m a teacher, but my school is at an undisclosed location in Indianapolis; so, there’s no need to fret about the liberal damage I’m inflicting upon your children. Later that day, I went to the office to chat about a student with our secretary and guidance counselor; however, the conversation quickly turned to me and my water-splashed shirt. I wasn’t concerned they noticed my bathroom sink mishap until I looked down. The small spot had grown into a large circle just below my bust line. Slightly embarrassed, but amongst women, I add “Sure takes me back to my breastfeeding days!” We laughed and shared stories of lactation leaks and moms who took breast feeding a little too far. Like the woman who nursed for six years, with the same kid. I can’t decide whether I should be amazed or appalled. Now I’m off topic. Another time, another article. Let’s get back to me and my wet shirt. Once I return to my desk, I take a quick peak and confirm my suspicion: My beloved water bra of 11 years has finally thrown in the towel. Each strap has been relying on safety pins for some time, but the cups have maintained the natural

and slightly larger shape, that called to me like a siren more than a decade ago. Now, my most flattering accessory was seeping an oily liquid and staining one of my all-time favorite shirts. My next thought, damage control. I look at my two summer school students, a boy and a girl. I’m not concerned about the 16-year-old girl, she’ll understand. However, the boy could present a very awkward challenge. Luckily, he is engrossed in his algebra. Thank God for the relative lack of observation skills in young men. I immediately slipped on my trusty cardigan and situated a couple of Kleenex in key locations to lessen the flow of old gelatinous fakeboob substance. Momentary crisis averted, now what about the loss of this dear friend? How will I replace her? Can she really be replaced? I think not. There’s a new Victoria’s Secret bra that gives nice padding for us A-cuppers, but it’s not the same. We’ve been through a lot together, my bra and I . . . weddings, Colts games, a funeral or two. She’s not just an article of clothing, but a holder of memories. Today I will throw her away. So I look down, mutter a heartfelt farewell and will myself not to cry. Peace out.

Current in Fishers Fishers Town Council Member Art Levine announced he will resign his council seat effective Thursday, July 21. In a press release, Levine said his departure from his District 4 seat is prompted by family issues requiring him to move out of state. “It has been an honor and privilege to have served the good people of Fishers,” said Levine. “My goal was to serve with honor and integrity and I hope I achieved it. Living in Fishers the past 25 years has been a blessing and my wife, Judy, and I will miss everyone.” Town Council President Scott Faultless, who has served on the council for five years with Levine, offered parting words for his colleague. “The Fishers Town Council is very thankful to council member Art Levine for his years of service on the council,” said Faultless. “We wish him the best of luck as he moves to the west coast.” Levine has been a member of the Fishers Town Council since April 2006, also serving on the Board of Directors for the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund. He was the council liaison for the Sister Cities Association of Fishers, and a long time member of the Fishers Station Kiwanis Club.

Safety, good times equally important for Eddy’s owner By Scott Raychel Current in Fishers Scott Cullumber, owner of Eddy’s Neighborhood Bar and Grill in Fishers, likes to make sure his customers have a good time. He also wants them to be safe while they’re enjoying life. In order to achieve this, Eddy’s now offers shuttle rides for patrons who are impaired and can’t drive home. For a small fee, patrons can leave their car at Eddy’s and catch a shuttle home. “In Hamilton County, there are a lot of cops,” said Cullumber. “So for safety reasons, we started offering this service to our customers. It saves some lives and keeps people out of trouble.” Customers can also catch a shuttle ride to the Verizon Wireless Music Center. Cullumber invites customers to come to Eddy’s to eat and drink before heading to a concert at the music venue, where Cullumber notes that Verizon’s refreshments may be more expensive than what he offers. Eddy’s, which has been in business for three years, recently began offering the shuttle service in June after contracting with a local shuttle company. It is available on Friday nights and Saturday nights, as well as concert nights at Verizon. A shuttle ride is five dollars each way. “The response has been pretty good,” said

Cullumber. “Everyone who has taken it has loved it. It’s helped business on those nights, too.” Cullumber is looking to expand the availability of the shuttle services at Eddy’s to include Sundays when the football season starts up in the fall. Until then, weekend patrons of Eddy’s can have a good time without having to worry about the drive home.

Youth Corps teaches kids to walk the walk By Jordan Fischer Current in Fishers Respect. Responsibility. Hard work. According to Kevin Young, these are the attributes many of today’s youth are lackYoung ing, and these are the attributes the Lawrence Youth Corps are dedicated to instilling back into society. “I think if you ask most adults today, especially older adults, if teenagers are very respectful, if they’re hard working, if they give back… most people would say no,” Young said. “At least, that’s the perception. So the youth corps is trying to amend that.” After three years on staff, last year, Young became the executive director of the youth corps – now sponsored by the Lawrence United Methodist Church. However, the organization has a long history stretching back three decades to Indianapolis’ Fountain Square district. “A lady who had been a missionary came back to live in Fountain Square,” Young said. “Back then, there was a lot of gang activity, and she realized (kids) needed something positive to keep them involved.” Young initially became involved in the Lawrence incarnation of the organization after his son participated. He said he liked the message of personal responsibility the organization espouses. “We start at 8 a.m.,” Young said. “If they come in at 8:01, they’re late, and they get a

They have to come in and say to their team, ‘I’m sorry.’ They don’t give an excuse or blame someone else. They take responsibility.” Participation in the youth corps is $45 a week. Young said the organization tries to keep the cost as low as possible, utilizing private donations from individuals and businesses – which comprise as much as 95 percent of its budget to help defray the expense for families who may otherwise not have been able to afford it. The organization teaches students to practice what it preaches by engaging in community service projects. Staff and students from the youth corps volunteered their services to paint, clean and tackle much-needed yard work at a former Eli Lilly Co. office building in June, which is to be converted into a school in the fall.

Gehlhausen

Organizers say the Hamilton County Family Justice Center will bring an overdue service to domestic violence victims By Kevin Kane Current in Fishers A meeting in Noblesville’s City Hall last Monday started with the playing of a 20-year-old 911 call. The caller, a little girl named Lisa, screamed into the phone in fear as she watched her stepfather, drunk at the time, beating her mother and siblings. She pleaded for help to the woman on the other line before her voice disappeared from the call altogether. Lisa, now 24, still struggles with the abuse she experienced on that night and others, and a former San Diego city attorney who worked her case, Casey Gwinn, says the aftereffects she deals with now largely could have been avoided with proper care and services. And that’s why he was in Hamilton County last week. Gwinn first came up with the idea for a family justice center in 1989. His idea was to use the “one-stop-shop” approach for the treatment of domestic violence victims, as he believed it would be easier for them to get the care and services they need if all could be available at one location. After years of planning, the first Family Justice Center was launched in San Diego in 2002. Since that time, Gwinn has spread the word of the concept and impact of these centers and helped launch new facilities in other states and countries. Today, there are 81 similar centers operating around the world and many more in development – including one in Hamilton County. The Hamilton County Family Justice Center has officially been in the works since early 2009, and the meeting in Noblesville was to update leaders of local organizations of its progress. The center would serve as a singular facility where victims of domestic violence could get all of the assistance they need. Many different entities – including law enforcement agencies, child advocacy centers, Prevail and several others – would separately bring their efforts under this one roof when necessary. “It’s not really very expensive,” Gwinn said. “It’s a place. Everyone’s doing the work already. This just brings them all together.” Such centers have proved successful in providing thorough care and attention to a greater number of domestic violence victims and increasing the rate of prosecution of their offenders. Organizers say the project has a great deal of support within the county, but a few roadblocks must be cleared before the HCFJC can open its doors. Finding a home for this center is one of them. HCFJC Director Beth Gehlhausen said the center should enter Phase I of its long-term plan later this year. This step includes moving into a donated space in the Community Health Network building at 146th Street and Cumberland Road and operating the HCFJC one day per week. Gehlhausen said a permanent home might be a few years down the road. She said Noblesville, being the county seat, is the optimal choice, but the pickings are

www.youarecurrent.com

slim across the entire county. “The difference between us and other counties is that we’re still a new community,” she said. “There aren’t a lot of government buildings sitting around.” In addition to a building, the HCFJC also needs monetary donations to help get the center off the ground. But Gwinn was optimistic, citing numerous recent examples of fundraising successes from other Family Justice Centers that found donors to be much more willing to help when several entities come together for a single cause. But while finding a home and raising funds may be the two biggest and most time consuming challenges, Gehlhausen said there are two that must be addressed immediately. The center’s governance structure still is undecided, and committees soon will meet to discuss whether the HCFJC will be a government-run facility or a nonprofit. At the very least, Gehlhausen said, a 501(c)(3) will be created to be the center’s fundraising arm.

Gwinn The individuals present at last week’s progress report meeting are also now working to promote the center, continuing to get more entities onboard and generating a greater “buy-in” throughout the county, Gehlhausen said. All involved in the process, from Gwinn to the local leaders, are excited about the impact the center can have on Hamilton County, but work still must be done before the dream can become a reality. “You’re at a critical juncture,” Gwinn said to the meeting’s attendees, adding that the Hamilton County group has presented the best vision statement he’s seen of all Family Justice Centers he’s seen since the original. “We look forward to that vision becoming a reality.”

Why it’s needed According to the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office, in 2009 41 percent of all A misdemeanor battery charges, 26 percent of all D felony domestic battery cases, 75 percent of all B felony rape cases and 33 percent of all C felony child molestation cases in the county were dismissed. “That’s why we’re here,” said Luckie Carey of the Carmel Police Dept. at last week’s meeting. By conducting a number of services under one roof at the Hamilton County Family Justice Center, abuse victims would receive better care and provide more accurate information to investigators through fewer interviews, theoretically resulting in far fewer cases being dismissed. Without centralized services, abuse victims new have to tell their stories up to 25 or 30 times. The HCFJC should reduce that figure to one. For more information, visit www. familyjusticecenter.org.

DISPATCHES » Embrace the rosé – Rosé is often associated with bad wedding receptions and avoided by men for its color. But rosé can be a delightful staple during the summer. Rosés are so varied it’s difficult to generalize what food matches best. That said, it’s a quintessential summer drink, so anything you’d eat at a summer picnic—grilled seafood, salads, and olives just to name a few—would likely go well with a glass of pink. Just remember, keep rosé chilled. It’s supposed to be refreshing, after all. -www.wsj.com » Center reaches milestone – The Center for the Performing Arts closed its 2010-11 season with its final concert June 22. Final box office sales are now totaled and the inaugural season grossed $1,665,000. Of the 24 performances in the inaugural season, the Center sold 34,467 tickets, equaling 96 percent of the hall’s seating inventory. The abbreviated season launched on January 29 and spanned five series: classics, songbook, jazz, country, and dance.

» July gardening tips – 1. Yellow or undersize foliage on your trees indicates a lack of nourishment. Feed them regularly, but don’t overdo it. 2. If you have any houseplants sitting directly in the window, make sure the light is filtered or the plant is moved to a site out of direct sunlight. The windowpane intensifies the heat, and you don’t want to scorch your plants. 3. Fertilize your houseplants frequently to ensure vigorous growth. -www.almanac.com » Don’t post plans – It may seem fun to brag about your upcoming trip to friends and acquaintances on social networks, but you should resist the temptation to call too much attention to the fact that you’re leaving behind an empty, unattended apartment or house for weeks at a time. “Burglars have already begun to turn to Facebook and Twitter to find homes that may be vacant during a holiday absence, so don’t make their job any easier for them by giving them your travel itinerary,” Internet security firm Webroot said. -www.technewsdaily.com

Celebrating 20 years of enjoyable escapes COMMENTARY By Lindsay Labas Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) is one of the nation’s pioneer and model agencies in the field of parks and recreation. CCPR was established 20 years ago, in August 1991, and has steadily grown into an organization that far exceeds the community’s expectations. The goals of the department have been and continue to be providing enriching, enjoyable escapes through recreation, fitness, and nature, as well as acquiring, preserving, and maintaining open lands and parks. The department has grown immensely in the past 20 years. In 1991, CCPR maintained only a few parks and greenways. It did not have a facility to host our recreation programs or a place to meet the community’s needs. After 20 years of rapid growth, we now maintain 15 parks and greenways throughout Carmel and Clay Township, two of which are currently “Wildlife Friendly” certified through the Indiana Wildlife Federation, and the Monon Community Center, home to a fitness center, indoor aquatics, water park, three-court gymnasium, KidZone (childcare), and program and meeting rooms. August will be an exciting time for us as we begin our 20th anniversary celebration. Exactly 20 years from inception, we will hold a tree planting ceremony at the grand opening of Founder’s Park hosted by the Carmel Clay Board of Parks and Recreation. On October 20,

Ignoring snoring? It could be bad for your health. The guttural, snorting noises a person makes while snoring might sound funny. But snoring is no laughing matter. According to Krista McNear, manager of the St.Vincent Sleep Disorders Center at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast, chronic snoring could be a symptom of a serious medical issue that requires prompt medical attention. “Snoring isn’t just a harmless trait,” McNear said. “It can be a sign of a number of medical conditions, so you should consult a physician if you snore.” Snoring can happen in both adults and children for a number of reasons — not all of them cause for serious concern. Potential causes behind a snoring problem include obstructed nasal passages, poor muscle tone in the throat, or a long soft palate or uvula. But what most concerns doctors is a respiratory condition called obstructive sleep apnea. Left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea — which occurs when the airway becomes narrowed or completely blocked during sleep — can be fatal.

Christopher Hollon, MD Cardiologist

“The only reliable way to rule out obstructive sleep apnea in a person who snores is through participation in a sleep study,” McNear said. “We recommend a sleep study because it’s important to determine what, if any, medical condition is causing the snoring.” The St.Vincent Sleep Disorders Center at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast conducts sleep studies in comfortable patient rooms that McNear says are “like hotel rooms.” A team of sleep technologists and respiratory therapists observe the patient, who sleeps as sensors monitor his or her sleeping patterns throughout the night. Later, a board certified sleep physician interprets the data, and recommends treatment and follow-up care, if needed. “It’s a harmless and painless experience,” McNear said of the sleep study. “We monitor your breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate, among other things. Then we evaluate each stage of your sleep to determine if you have a disorder.” For more information on whether or not you or your child might benefit from a sleep study, contact the St.Vincent Sleep Disorders Center located at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast in Suite 300 at 317-338-2152.

if you think keeping your partner awake at night is the only negative side effect of your snoring, think again. cardiologist dr. christopher Hollon with st.Vincent medical Group will be the first to tell you that excessive snoring can be a sign of serious health conditions, including high blood pressure and heart disease. “snoring is a sign of sleep apnea, which can cause hypertension,” said Hollon. “When your airway relaxes and restricts your breathing, it lowers your blood’s oxygen supply, which constricts your blood vessels.” snoring should never be taken lightly. if you or your partner has a snoring problem, consider consulting a physician. Dr. Christopher Hollon is Board Certified in cardiovascular disease and is a fellow in the American College of Cardiology. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Hollon at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast located in Suite 202, call 866-976-2607.

He writes that if a late meal is the only one during the day, however, it can lead to overeating, and he recommends that people get 70 percent of their daily calories before a nightly dinner. -www.foxnews.com » Health myth busted – It’s often warned sitting too close to a television screen will ruin one’s eyes. When TV’s first became popular in the 1950s, they emitted 100,000 times more radiation than they do today. So parents may have been smart to keep their kids away from the tube back then. But sitting too close to a modern set or computer screen won’t do any permanent damage to your eyes.

Modern nutritional science confirms the accuracy of this assessment. Today, the Real Bread Campaign, a non-profit pressure group, claims that bread has actually gotten worse since 1911 in terms of secret adulterants – enzymes that do not have to be declared on labels – still being smuggled into it. Today, despite the modern fashion for healthy eating, ‘nutritionally empty’ white bread accounts for more than 50 percent of what we buy. -www.mercola.com

Exploring veganism continues COMMENTARY By Courtney Stiehl I’ve dived into my month-long journey and have successfully gone vegan. I hope to reap the benefits soon, but for now I’m still adjusting. It turns out my first two days trying veganism weren’t entirely vegan. I failed to look at some ingredients closely and realized too late I had consumed small amounts of dairy. Also, I picked up a pack of Starbursts to treat myself after a day of health food. It turns out they contain gelatin, a foodstuff made from mammal bones. Although I’ve chosen to eat gelatin sweets throughout my years of pescatarianism, I follow veganism strictly. It requires my close attention, so I’ve since become more careful. Beyond these initial mistakes, maintaining a vegan diet hasn’t proven difficult for me. Sure, I dreaded it the night before my start date and became cranky the first days when I couldn’t find much to eat at my house. But, a relatively short experiment to look and feel better drives me. Also, I’ve told too many people about this to do anything but move forward. Really, I become most aware of my “unusual” diet around other people. Different social settings over the weekend placed off-limit foods in front of me. Vegan experts recommend focusing on eating veggies and whole grains. Although I easily eat

the grains and often munch on fruit, I need to eat more leafy greens. But, it’s hard to get hyped over spinach! I use a vegetarian cookbook for recipe ideas and replace dairy items for soy. This is the greatest change veganism has brought about: I’m forced to make my own meals rather than eating processed foods or dining out. Veganism automatically eliminates most junk food. Still, seven days time is not enough to track many benefits. Oprah’s weeklong vegan challenge on her show resulted in dramatic effects for those who did it. Not for me. It could be because I already abstained from meat going into this. Or, that I don’t have many health problems to solve or weight to loose. The main effect has actually been negative, as this diet appears to cause me headaches. I looked this up online and realized they’re common at the start of the switch. My mom says my body must be detoxifying. In the meantime, I’m eating plenty, drinking lots of water and taking iron to combat this. I continue to eat healthier every day. I’ll get better at this.

Custom bath remodel with natural stone tile REMODELING By Larry Greene Original 1978 master bath: This home, located in the Eden Estates neighborhood on the east side of Carmel, was built in 1978 and included the original master bathroom that was definitely in need of an update. Important changes: There were several major changes to the bathroom and completely changed the look. The wall was taken down that separated the toilet area from the rest of the bathroom. The existing bulkheads, which were very popular in 1978, were removed to provide a much more functional and open bathroom. According to the homeowner, “I hated the shower before. It was a fiberglass all-in-one piece shower/tub unit. The water just wouldn’t spray where I wanted it to.” Shower features: The homeowner commented, “My husband and I love the new shower with the bench seat and the new Kohler shower head. We originally considered installing a handheld showerhead, but changed to a Kohler showerhead. The spray goes right where I want it to go.” Vanity upgrades: A carpenter built a new 12-inch-deep-by48-inches-tall base cabinet located behind the vanity on the window wall. The existing vanity cabinet doors were replaced with a more updated door style to match the new 12-inch base cabinet. The existing fluting on the front of the cabinets was replaced with flat pieces of paint grade wood. The new cabinet and the modified existing cabinets were then all painted a new color (Porter – Steeple Gray). The homeowner said, “I really like the cabinets for

storage under the sink. I absolutely love the Cambria countertops. It never looks dirty!” Final thoughts: New details at the shower, vanity area and the new porcelain tile on the floor and on the shower walls completed the new remodel. The shower includes a clear glass frameless shower enclosure. The homeowner added, “I like the Before way the mirrors and lighting in the bathroom light up the room. It’s really bright now. I’m really happy with the way the bathroom turned out.”

Losing a sense for scents HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie My hearing is great. My eyesight is also excellent for a guy my age. Sadly, however, I am losing my sense of smell. I don’t think this is a health concern—but just in case, I have every intention of scheduling time to look it up on the internet. There have been several indicators of this problem. When Mary Ellen, Brett and I sit in the living room watching the evening news, the dog is usually at our feet. All of a sudden, both my son and my wife start feverishly waving their hands in front of their noses. For the longest time, I figured I was blocking their view of the screen. “You didn’t smell that?” they shout. “No, but I heard it.” Mary Ellen knew I had a problem way before I did. She didn’t say anything until recently. “Dick, I don’t how to tell you this, but I don’t think you smell very good.” “Excuse me?” “That came out wrong. You don’t smell well.” Clearly the problem was as much grammatical as medical. The conversation reminded me of an exchange we once had when I had lost my wallet for the third time in a week and found it on the dining room table. That’s when I first learned Mary Ellen didn’t think I looked very well. I’m lucky to have a beautiful wife, considering I appear sickly and have body odor. I did check the internet and it looks like I may

have a disorder called anosmia, which one expert claims is sometimes caused by intranasal drug abuse. I must be losing my memory because I have no recollection of ever putting anything in my nose except a carrot this past New Year’s Eve. People kept telling me I wasn’t eating right. I am coping with the problem. I now change my socks almost every day because my previous modus operandi for making that important evaluation is no longer as effective. Has the cottage cheese gone bad? Now I have to rely solely on the fuzzy green mold to make that determination. One website suggested if your sense of smell is impaired, you might want to employ a “smell buddy,” a person you trust to tell you whether you have foul-smelling breath or offensive odors in your home. I had to choose wisely, so I called my friend and tried to convince him this would be a fun gig. I promised Bob a donation to his favorite charity and a free monthly dinner. Bob is quite the skeptic. “This deal smells fishy to me,” he said. “I was in no position to argue. I hired him on the spot.”convince him this would be a fun gig.
