OUR VIEWS

It is our position a societal change in attitude is necessary to manage distractions while driving to ensure safety on the road. The National Transportation Safety Board recently called for a first-ever complete nationwide ban on driver use of cell phones and portable electronic devices. Distracted driving is the new DUI. Somehow, common sense eludes many drivers as they are behind the wheel of a 3,000-pound piece of metal when their cell phone rings or they hear a ding indicating a new text message. The current antitexting/e-mail-while-driving law in Indiana is difficult to enforce. If the onus is placed on the government to save us from ourselves and others who are driving while distracted, what does that say about our society? Should drivers be mandated to use a mobile application that automatically turns off cell phone capabilities while driving, or are they capable of using the “off“ button? Music, reading, grooming, eating and noise of passengers always have been frequent distractions for drivers – and now, PEDs. It is unrealistic to rely soley on the government to legislate drivers from being distracted. The hope is for a change in drivers’ attitudes to safely manage the distractions.

Penn State

It is our position the scandal at Penn State last year was, if not the darkest, one of the darkest moments in sports. We also believe Penn State made the correct decision in not allowing Joe Paterno to finish the season as head coach of its football team. The scandal, which involved allegations of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing young children who were involved in his charity, Second Mile was known to Paterno for at least part of the reported 15 years these actions occurred. Original reports claimed Paterno would finish the season and retire. We believe Penn State’s board of trustees made the correct decision in firing him on the spot. Paterno was put into a position that carried great prominence not only for the football team, but the university and surrounding area as well. He proved he was not up to the responsibility that came with being a community leader. No matter how great your football knowledge, not reporting Sandusky’s alleged actions proved Paterno was not a role model. We hope everyone has learned from Paterno’s transgression and takes the appropriate actions if found in the same situation.

COACH BOB KNIGHT | AUTOGRAPH SIGNING Authentic Sports Collectibles Carmel City Center, 711 Veteran's Way, Carmel, IN 46032 Jan. 14, 2012 | 1:00p.m.

Manilow one honoree for June 16 gala Barry Manilow, the award-winning songwriter and vocalist, is to be among the honorees at the June 16 gala at The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts, we have learned. Manilow and others to be named next month will be inductees to the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame at the Center. The Center has soft-launched table sales for the formal event on a one-on-one basis, and they are said to be priced at $7,500 for corporate tables and $5,000 for others. Each table is to seat 10 persons. John Hughey, director of external relations for the Center, said Michael Feinstein, the Center’s artistic director, will launch the public phase of table sales on Feb. 15, when he will announce all the Hall of Fame inductees along with specific gala details. The Hall of Fame will induct new artists each year, recognizing their contributions to the Songbook. This is the second gala for The Palladium; the initial gala Jan. 25, 2011, was a sellout, and its tickets were the most sought-after Hamilton County has ever seen. Krieg DeVault is sponsoring the June event. To be clear, the June gala is not a Manilow concert; he will attend and perform, but that represents only a portion of the evening. Manilow, who you may not know

1 night, 8 votes and a wild caucus Commentary By Robert Herrington I don’t know about you, but I am already hooked on the Republican primary election. Typically I don’t follow politics at the national level, but the time leading up and during the presidential election is intriguing. While it does get old – especially when you find yourself voting for the lesser of two evils because you can’t get motivated about either – I think I enjoy watching the democratic process play out. I stayed up until 2:30 a.m. watching and waiting to see who won the Iowa caucus last week. And if you thought the election night was wild, the drama picked up the following day. Michele Bachmann was in, then she was out. Rick Perry was out, and then he announced he was back in. Rick Santorum raised $1 million overnight from his strong showing – after spending 73 cents per vote he received. Newt Gingrich vowed to drop the halo and pick up his pitchfork, and the election season officially started for Jon Huntsman. In the grand scheme of things, do the results from the Iowa caucus matter? Not likely. Did the speeches/reaction from each candidate change my thoughts on who I’d like to see as the presidential nominee? No. So what did I take from the last week’s election? What I like most about Iowa is the fact it really showed the importance of casting your vote.

4 | January 10, 2012

At one point – hours after my wife called it a night and went to bed – CNN had 99 percent of the ballots in and only one vote separated Mitt Romney and Santorum. We’ve had some close elections in Hamilton County, but with just two precincts out, one vote separated the winner and runner-up of a national primary election. It was history unfolding live on TV and a great instructional moment for social studies teachers. Iowa also provided an example on how wild and unpredictable the democratic process can be. Going into the evening, all the pundits projected a win for Ron Paul, a strong showing from Romney and Santorum as a wild card. By the end, it was the little engine that could whose grassroots movement connected with Iowa voters and provided an almost “Rocky”-like result. Indiana’s primary is May 8. I expect by then the field will be narrowed – maybe the nominee will already be selected – but the time leading up to then will be filled with many more memorable moments so stay tuned – and most importantly, informed – for when it’s our turn to cast votes.

Mammogram missing masseuse and mimosa COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I must say I’m rather disappointed. I waited to write this column until after my appointment, confident I’d be busting with hilarious anecdotes and entertaining mishaps. But alas, here I sit with nary a tale and a sense of anticlimactic restlessness. The Mighty Mammogram turned out to be not so mighty after all! Because I turn 40 painfully soon, my doctor encouraged me to schedule a baseline mammogram. Luckily, I have no family history of breast cancer or any other risk factors, so I’ve been able to delay the exam until now. And I have wanted to delay it. The thought of some technician with carny hands shoving my girls between ice-cold metal plates recalled long-suppressed nightmares of breastfeeding twins, when I was nothing more than a strung-out milcher working overtime. Nevertheless, I made the stupid appointment and figured at the very least, the experience would make for a good story. But nooooooo. For starters, the breast center was more like a spa than a doctor’s office, with soft ambient lighting, faux-mahogany lockers and friendly, welcoming women. If I’d had a mimosa and a masseuse named Paulo, I would have gladly relaxed all day! I was actually disappointed my wait was so short, as I’d discovered a missed edition of People Magazine and was thoroughly enjoying a quiet moment. My nurse did not in fact have

carny hands, and explained every step of the procedure to dissuade my lingering anxiety. The worst part was the slight embarrassment I suffered at having so little to work with, if you catch my drift. Yes, I was squeezed a bit, and yes, for a second I vowed to create the first ever scrotal-gram machine to see how men liked having their giblets flattened like a crepe, but honestly, it was no big deal. I’d definitely take a mammogram over a pap smear any day! So since nothing traumatic happened, allow me to plug an opportunity to contribute to breast cancer research: In conjunction with the Super Bowl and Indy’s Super Cure Initiative, the Komen Tissue Bank in Indianapolis is hosting a breast tissue collection event Jan. 28-29. Researchers recently learned their center is the only one in the world to have both healthy and cancerous tissue samples from two separate women, a major development in breast cancer research. Their goal is 700 samples, with half coming from women of diverse ages, ethnicities and geographic backgrounds. To register, visit http://komentissuebank.iu.edu. Peace out.

Bob Knight signing in Carmel By Kevin Kane kevin@youarecurrent.com Dominique Ball said Bob Knight is the biggest name in the history of Indiana sports, and that’s why he’s bringing him to Carmel. Knight – a Hall of Fame basketball coach who won three national championships leading the Indiana Hoosiers - will come to Authentic Sports Collectibles at Carmel City Center Saturday. ASC opened Nov. 1 at 715 Hanover Place, and Ball said he has been working on bringing Knight to the store for more than a month. “I wanted to go big and who’s bigger than Bob Knight?” he said. The signing is open to members of the public who purchase one of the 500 tickets available. Tickets can be purchased at the store from now until the day of the event, but Ball said waiting until the 14th may leave some without a ticket, as he expects media coverage – including an appearance by Knight on The Bob and Tom Show scheduled for this week – to put the tickets in high demand. Ball said ASC’s contract with Knight prohibits him from publicly disclosing the price of each ticket but added that, in his experience, attending autograph sessions offers the best prices on signed memorabilia. “To come witness the guy sign it, that’s the cheapest way to buy it,” he said. “It’s cheaper than buying it retail.”

Knight Attendees are allowed to bring one item per purchased ticket, and Ball said there are very few limitations on what can be presented to Knight to sign. Traditionally, Knight has politely refused to sign two editions of Sports Illustrated covering his firing at IU as well as copies of A Season on the Brink. Aside from that, Ball said, nearly anything is fair game. “He’ll even sign a chair if you want to bring that,” he said. Ball said he has many other signings planned for 2012, including appearances by “Mean Joe” Greene, Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Gale Sayers, Mike Alstott and more. Ball said those seeking more information or to purchase tickets can call him directly at 554-9906.

White also faces a criminal trial in Hamilton County on Jan. 30 on seven felony charges related to accusations he lied on documents about where he lived during the 2010 primary so he could remain on the Fishers Town Council. A Hamilton County grand jury indicted White in March 2011, but White maintains his innocence on the theft and voter fraud charges. If White loses his job because of a conviction, Gov. Mitch Daniels would appoint his replacement – Democrats contend Osili should replace him.

Among family law attorneys, January is a peak time for new clients. The first Monday after the holiday break has even earned a nickname known as “Divorce Day”. It isn’t meant to be insensitive, but reflects the real statistics that many couples are motivated after the holidays to seek a solution to their marital difficulties.

Separations and divorce filings typically slow down in the months of November and December as spouses attempt to maintain their relationships for the sake of their families and children through the holiday festivities. However, the winter holidays can be very trying for marriages that are already experiencing serious problems. The additional stress created by financial pressures, family dynamics or unfulfilled expectations can accentuate rather than mend the cracks in a relationship. The long holiday break is often the final straw for many couples who have postponed separating. Once children return to school and spouses return to work, many are resolved to proceed with a fresh start for the new year. Initiating a divorce may seem overwhelming, but alternatives to traditional litigation provide more options for spouses who are concerned about the emotional and financial burden of the divorce process. After the holiday expenses, some couples may not feel that they can afford to divorce, even if they are struggling with ongoing marital conflict. Remaining in an unhealthy situation can be more even more damaging, especially if parties have attempted counseling and have not been able to repair their marriages. But options such as collaborative law and mediation are methods which are often less costly, financially and emotionally, and empower couples to have more control over the divorce process. It can facilitate the transition into the next stage and help preserve the co-parenting relationship, minimizing some of the negative effects of divorce. The Family Law Practice Group at Harden Jackson LLC offers comprehensive legal services including litigation and collaborative law for clients considering a fresh start and contemplating divorce or separation.

Ringing in the New Year, safely By Robert Herrington robert@youarecurrent.com Staying in meant staying out of trouble or potentially bothersome situations for those who attended the inaugural “Family First Night” New Year’s Eve event at the Hamilton County 4-H Grounds, located at 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. “It’s a tremendous benefit for the community to have folks volunteer their time to provide options,” said Lt. Bruce Barnes of the Noblesville Police Department. “There’s a lot of different things. What they’re doing is such a tremendous benefit.” Barnes estimated the event hosted at least 200 people during its free alternative celebration, which began at 7 p.m. and included a variety of games, food, two classic movies and a live feed of the ball drop in Times Square. “I think we had a very good crowd,” said event coordinator Jim Wafford of Logan Street Signs and Banners. “Our goal was 150 people.” Wafford worked closely with George and Linda Kristo – George is the executive director of the Hamilton County Council on Alcohol and Other Drugs – to coordinate the event. The Kristos have hosted the event in the past but did not hold an alternative party last year. “It was a crowd George and I had hoped for and we now have another year to promote it,” said Wafford. “George believes it to be (important) so I think it’s very important.

Noblesville veteran Bill Myers talks about honor, service with younger generation By Jordan Fischer jordan@youarecurrent.com After his second trip over-the-hill last year, 80-year-old Bill Myers said he got to thinking about what was next on his to-do list. The Fishers High School Class of 1948 alum, and current Noblesville resident, said he decided he “might like to talk to some young people” about the importance of heroes – something he gained an understanding of, he said, after 20 years of service in the U.S. Air Force. Teachers at Myers’ alma mater were happy to help out; bringing Myers in to talk to more than 700 U.S. history, government and law education students for a Veterans Day celebration. Myers said that, while he appreciated the opportunity, he wasn’t quite expecting such an enthusiastic turnout. “I was scared to death of going down and talking to all those kids,” he said. “But, it was wonderful. It brought me back to see what young people are like. They paid attention and thanked me afterward . . . it was a great experience.”

Meet Bill Myers Age: 80 Residence: Noblesville Hometown: Fishers Family: Wife of 61 years, Peggy, two children, four grandchildren and one great grandchild. Government Service: 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and 15 years with the U.S. Postal Service as a letter carrier in Noblesville. Hobbies: Model railroading, genealogy and his miniature donkey, Eeyore. Education: Fishers High School graduate, Associate of Arts from Allen Hancock College (Calif.), Certificate in Management Engineering from U.S. Army School of Management Engineering (Ill.) and approximately 60 credit hours from University of Maryland, Regis University in Denver, IUPUI and Ivy Tech. Honors: Meritorious Service Medal and several certificates of achievement. Philosophy: “Today is the best day of my life. Tomorrow will be even better.”

recipient since the Vietnam War – for his service in 2009 in the Kunar province of Iraq. Against orders, Myers said, Meyer rushed into hostile territory to evacuate 12 friendly wounded, and provided cover for another 24 Marines and soldiers to escape. Meyer was awarded the Medal of Honor for his service by President Barack Obama on Sept. 15, 2011. “That tells kids what real heroes are,” said Myers. “You don’t plan to be one, and a lot of times, you don’t talk about it afterward.”

“Military heroes don’t talk about being heroes,” Myers said. “You get a medal, and no one ever sees it. I think people need to know that everyone in the military is a hero. And then there are decorated heroes. For every medal of honor (recipient), there are 15 people who did just as much, but nobody hears about it.” Myers retired from the armed forces in 1972 as a master sergeant, 20 years after he enlisted in the Air Force. He earned his share of medals Connecting the next as well, including the meritorious service medal generation – awarded for outstanding meritorious non“I don’t know that today’s generation knows combat achievement or service. At the time, what war is like,” Myers said. “And war has the award was the highest honor given for “just doing your duties … just doing a real good job,” changed a lot. Very definitely, I don’t think they know what military Myers said. service is like.” In his speech, MyIn 1951, when ers talked about Sgt. Myers enlisted in Alvin York and 1st the Air Force, the Lt.

According to Myers, though the draft was at times unpopular, it gave the general populace a personal connection to the military, and to wars the country was fighting. “The military is more limited now,” he said. “In WWII and Korea, everyone knew someone who was in the service. Nowadays, I don’t think people even know that the war is still going on.” Myers said he’s personally supportive of a two-year mandatory service period, either in the military or another service-to-country program, for men and women directly after high school, which he said would help “build a bridge” between home life and college. “After two years, they’d know whether they want to go to college or not, or if they should go to college or not,” Myers said. “And I think the government should help them go to college when they’re done. It’d be good for them, and good for the country.” “Of course, not many mommas are going to say that,” Myers added.

A second retirement

Myers retired from the military at the age of 40, after the service took him around the world: Hokkaido, Japan, Turkey, Denver, and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, where he worked on the Atlas, Titan and Minuteman missile projects. At 64, Myers retired again, this time from the postal service. Since then, he’s occupied himself with his family – wife of 61 years Peggy, son Michael and daughter Vicki (“They’re air force brats,” Myers said) – and his lifelong hobby: model railroading. “I got up in an engine for the first time when I was 4 years old,” Myers said. “My daddy was a railroader, my uncles were. We used to live down by the tracks by the Nickel Plate in Fishers.”

Current in Noblesville

Myers’ current project, a 34 square-foot model he’s dubbed the “Mudsock Belt Railroad,” after his native Fishers, occupies much of his workshop – which he’s marked with a sign over the door declaring it the “Dog House.” Myers also keeps busy with his animals: a cat, dogs, a donkey and three horses, which he calls his “daughters.” Myers says he’s a regular guy who just did his duty in the service. But, he says, the important thing to remember is that heroes were, too. “I dare say not one of the several hundred people who’ve gotten the Medal of Honor ever planned to get it,” said Myers. “They just had a situation that needed to be taken care of, and did what needed to be done.”

Dr. Leyla Akanli Pediatric Pulmonologist

You might need fewer (or more) Pap tests than you’re getting. Who should have a Pap test and how often? What used to be a fairly straightforward question has become a little tougher to answer with new guidelines from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Before the new guidelines, a Pap test typically was part of a woman’s annual exam, which also includes a breast and pelvic exam — two important screenings that you still need, even though you probably do not need an annual Pap test. The best way to find out how often you should be having this important cervical cancer screening is to talk to your healthcare provider. In the meantime, here is a look at the basics of the guidelines: • The age at which you get your first Pap is 21. Formerly, women were advised to get their first Pap within three years of becoming sexually active. But HPV is a virus that leads to most abnormal Paps. Although certain strains of this virus lead to cervical cancer, most go away on their own. Your body naturally fights them off. Waiting until you are 21 gives your immune system a chance to work its magic and prevents unnecessary procedures.

• Any woman who no longer has a cervix because of a hysterectomy (removing the cervix isn’t always part of a hysterectomy) and who has never had an abnormal Pap smear doesn’t need Paps anymore. However, if you have your ovaries, you still need to have a pelvic and breast exam every year. • Women between the ages of 21 and 30 need to have a Pap every two years. Remember, this does not mean you can skip a yearly exam, which also includes a pelvic and breast exam, and a chance to address other female issues. • Around age 65-70, you may be able to stop having Paps. If you have had three normal Paps and no abnormal Paps in the past 10 years, you might be able to stop. Talk to your healthcare provider. To schedule an appointment or for help finding a healthcare provider, call the Center for Women’s Health, located at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast at 317-415-9010.

Exercise in 2012? Remember these tips ANTI-AGING By Bryan Mayol, MD Literally every system in our bodies is healthier with regular exercise. We should strive to get at least 30 to 60 minutes of vigorous exercise every day. Other than smoking or other substance abuse, leading a sedentary life is the unhealthiest thing you can do. To reduce healthcare costs, many employers are creating financial motivation for people to get active – hitting people in their wallets if they refuse to make exercise a priority. So, keep some things in mind as you begin to exercise routinely. To burn fat from around the midsection or hips, do NOT focus on exercises that “target” those particular areas … it doesn’t work that way. Working those muscles is good but they will still be covered up by the fat, so have realistic expectations. Fat is stored calories; get rid of it by doing ANY exercises that burn calories effectively. Perhaps the best exercise for the average person is not running, but instead the stair climber, especially taking two steps at a time. It combines an excellent cardiovascular workout while building leg muscle (by having to work against gravity) with very low impact and joint stress. Building muscle helps the body burn more fat 24 hours a

day and helps maintain strength, and therefore independence with aging. As adults, we are getting weaker every day unless we are actively working to build muscle. Running will burn calories, but it is hard on many joints and is more likely to break down muscle than build it. Focus on weight-bearing exercises with functional movements, promoting balance and helping prevent osteoporosis. Core strength is extremely important for all of us for many reasons. Emphasize the eccentric (muscle lengthening) phase of any type of weight lifting by taking about four to five times as long to lower the weight as to lift it. This gives even better results with using less weight, reducing injuries and actually stimulating tendon healing. Keep in mind stretching right before exercise has consistently shown NOT to prevent injuries. A gradual warm up is much more important, then stretch either during or after your workout, which is much more effective. Bryan Mayol, MD, IU Health Physicians Sports Medicine, is a guest columnist located at IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers. You may e-mail him at bmayol@iuhealth.org

» Go half and half – Commit to mixing treats, half and half, with something harmless or healthful. Examples? Mix regular soda with diet soda or, better, seltzer or club soda. Mix sweetened yogurt with plain yogurt. Mix any kind of fruit juice with plain water or seltzer, and so forth. After a few weeks of this - if you remain diligent - you will find that your tolerance for sweetness declines. Then cut down to three-quarters and one-quarter. Eventually, the things you used to love will taste cloyingly sweet. -www.dlife.com

Winter Skincare

Enjoy!

While most of us focus on protecting skin in the summer, it is important not to neglect your regimen during the winter. Here are five tips for maintaining healthy skin through the colder months:

Free brow wax with any facial appointment

1. Continue to use SPF! Use at least SPF 15 to continue to protect your skin. 2. Exfoliate skin twice a week. This can help remove dry skin and uneven tone caused by exposure to the sun. 3. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Winter air is drier without the humidity of summer, so your skin needs extra nourishment to stay healthy. 4. To get rid of chapped lips, carry around a trusty tube of balm or Chapstick. Exfoliating lips lightly with a toothbrush can also get rid of dead skin on your pucker. 5. Stay hydrated and exercise! Besides the multitude of other benefits, doing so can help maintain a fresh and healthy glow.

Removing wall and bulkheads makes a difference REMODELING By Larry Greene ORIGINAL KITCHEN: This home was built in 1985 in the Thistlewood subdivision on the west side of Carmel. The homeowner has lived in the home since 2000. When asked why they remodeled, their response was, “It was time to update. We always hang out in the kitchen and we’ve been thinking about remodeling for a couple of years. We like the neighborhood and our neighbors and we wanted to stay put!” REMOVING WALL AND BULKHEADS: The structural engineer determined the wall separating the kitchen from the family room was nonload bearing. This made it economical to completely remove the wall and open up the two rooms. The existing carpet in the family room was removed and new prefinished hardwood flooring was installed. “We are so glad we had the wall taken down between the kitchen and the family room. What a dramatic difference it makes in opening up the entire house.” The existing bulkheads in the kitchen were removed and the drywall was patched and the lighting was relocated. This allowed the new wall cabinets to be extended completely to the ceiling including decorative two-piece crown molding. NEW CABINETS AND MORE STORAGE: The new maple cabinets are painted in cashmere white with raised panel full-overlay doors and flat slab drawers, with dovetail drawer boxes and full-extension drawer glides. Other updates include a stone-tile backsplash, under cabinet lighting, pendants over the peninsula and dark granite countertops. The homeowner commented, “We’ve increased our storage capacity tremendously. We had the peninsula updated with some beautiful new pendant light fixtures.”
