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.

OUR VIEWS

It is our position that the minority party has the right and the responsibility to do what is legally and ethically possible to affect the actions of the majority party, but in a democracy (representative republic) it is the majority that prevails. The tactic of exiting our sovereign State specifically to prevent business from progressing is an outrage. Legislators must work to make such tactics illegal or adjust rules on quorum to reflect the intent of the democratic election process.

The minority party must be content to try to persuade more voters that particular positions on various legislative issues are the preferred ones. This may be accomplished by modifying a dogma or point-of-view and/or by educating the voters to better understand their current positions, but it is unlikely to ever be accomplished by coercion, blackmail and extortion. We would suggest that if the financial contributions from special interests were eliminated from campaigns the current legislative impasse facilitated by the questionable “remote hot tub” tactic would be unlikely to recur. We stand firmly behind the concept that the majority may not always be correct, but it remains the majority until the minority displaces it. Elections do have consequences special interests or not.

PR poke

It is our position that religion is better discussed person-to-person; and that antagonistic slogans do little to advance the discourse. Coming soon around the I-465 loop are billboards stating “You Don’t Need God to hope, to care, to love to live.” While we stress the importance of freedom of speech and believe that the group putting up these likely pro-atheistic messages may exercise it, we also believe that there are more respectful ways to express a point of view.

Whether in agreement with the meaning behind this PR campaign or not, we believe that care should be taken to show respect towards the treasured beliefs others and that this effort is intended to poke the faithful. Those behind the slogan could have employed a myriad of ways to communicate without seeking intentional offence. We would likewise reject a message “You Don’t Need Allah to hope, to care, to love to live.” In an age of explosive (both literally and figuratively) expressions of religion (or anti-religion), shouldn’t we strive to be more thoughtful in the way we seek to have one’s view heard? We believe this attempt pollutes the public space as it seems designed to offend and not to persuade.

FROM THE BACKSHOP City picks up noteworthy water award The city has scored another victory as the only Hamilton County community to pick up the Hoosier Guardian Award from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's Hoosier Water Guardian program.

Noblesville was one of eight municipalities statewide to be given the honor, and to that we state: Well played! The city was lauded, and justifiably so, for its continuing efforts to surpass what regulators require in the preservation of and guarding of its drinking water sources. IDEM does a lot of work to educate and encourage Hoosiers about the correct use and disposal of, among other items, household chemicals and lawn fertilizer. We urge you to discover more information at www.idem.in.gov. This isn’t about being “green.” It’s about being smart, or, more to the point, it’s about common sense.

Tickets turn away visitors Editor, I read the cover story “You can’t contest tickets” on downtown parking (Feb. 22) with a renewed sense of anger and sadness.

Almost two years ago, I convinced an acquaintance from Grand Rapids, Mich. to explore our community to open a new retail outlet in downtown Noblesville. While in their car with Michigan plates, we found a parking spot on 10th Street just north of Conner Street and squeezed between the two vehicles already there.

We explored the available locations around the square and returned to their vehicle only to discover a ticket for not parking between the lines. In looking at the lines, they were very faded and difficult to see. Plus, the vehicles both in front of and behind us wouldn’t allow any different parking. Yes, one of these vehicles did also have a ticket as well.

Having been a loyal Noblesville citizen for over 20 years, I suggested we go to see if we could get the ticket cancelled. What happened next chased my Michigan friends’ right out of the city.

Not only would the Noblesville Police Department not offer any Hoosier hospitality, they offered a good dose of hostility. Too bad Noblesville’s parking officials aren’t embracing the opportunities to welcome out-of-state visitors and possible investors.

Sadly, this story just emphasized that Noblesville still has a way to go to be proud of our core city instead of a pride in seeing how many tickets can be issued. Just think of the revenue brought into the city by a new business due to friendly conditions versus the revenue collected from tickets.

Being right vs. being loved COMMENTARY

By Danielle Wilson One of my New Year’s resolutions is to be less critical of my husband. Whenever I feel the urge to do so, I ask myself, “Do I want to be right, or do I want to be loved?” Though it’s only March, I’m already struggling with the love part, and if this past weekend is any indication, I’m in serious trouble. Here’s what happened.

Friday was a surprise snow day, which means I was already heading towards the ledge come Friday night, when I slept like poo. Then Saturday morning, we had to go to my in-laws for a farewell pancake breakfast (they’re off for their annual six-week hiatus in non-snowy Florida) before rushing back to our house to prep for our youngest’s birthday party extravaganza. (And by “extravaganza” I mean “descent into hell.” She invited 20 of her besties to come make crafts and eat sugar, and lucky us, they all accepted.)

I still had to run some errands for it, and asked Doo to take care of the kitchen, garbage and laundry room while I was gone. When I returned, nothing had been done. Nothing.

I found him sitting in the exact same spot as when I’d left, downloading music and pretending to “work.” But I wanted to be loved, so I bottled my frustration and calmly reiterated my request for help. To his credit, he did so. Marital crisis averted, we survived the party with minimal alcohol intake, and I felt pretty good about sticking to my resolution.

So I went upstairs for a quick shower and makeover, excited to be fluffing for a black-tie fundraiser with Doo. Unfortunately, the fatigue was starting to catch up with me, and I didn’t enjoy anything after the initial cocktail / silent auction hour. When we arrived home to a complete disaster and all the children awake, I went

immediately to bed, searching for a happy place.

I hadn’t found one by morning. I actually felt sick to my stomach from another crappy night’s sleep and was not impressed when I came downstairs to find Doo at my desk again, singing some stupid song, the house still a sty. His cheerful mood was aggravating me to no end, and I had to restrain myself from saying as such.

So I stomped around and yelled at the kids to get ready for church, and of course they ignored me, which fueled my flames even more. Then Doo started in: “Every week I have to listen to you complain about going to church, and then you want my help, and blah, blah, blah.” I couldn’t hear the rest for the steam pouring from my ears.

I just wanted to yell.

“You’ve been selfish and inconsiderate and totally oblivious to my needs, this entire weekend, you expletive! You may not be Catholic, but our kids are!” Screw being loved; I wanted to be right. I knew my bad mood was born entirely from lack of sleep, but I seriously didn’t care. I’d been with my bratty kids all day Friday, other peoples’ bratty kids Saturday, and a disengaged husband throughout. I was done. So I fell off the New Year’s resolution wagon and cut loose. It wasn’t pretty.

But, as people in recovery programs will tell you, setbacks only mean failure if you don’t learn from them. So I’m using my tirade as an example of how not to handle fatigue and hoping the next time I hit the motherload of exhausting weekends, I’ll want to be loved more than I’ll want to be right. Peace out.

I fell off the New Year’s resolution wagon and cut loose.

Construction at Little Chicago, S.R. 38 to begin in May Current in Noblesville The Indiana Department of Transportation’s (INDOT) reconstruction of the intersection of Little Chicago Road and State Road 38 will begin in May. INDOT announced last week that the closure date for the project will be Monday, May 9. Currently, this intersection operates on a traffic signal with four independent phases which move only one direction of traffic at a time. The new signal will permit simultaneous movement for north-south and for east-west traffic. Improved safety and efficiency at this intersection will be the end result of this construction project.

“It’s a very dangerous intersection right now,” Mayor John Ditslear said earlier this year.

As part of this project, INDOT will construct a new bridge over Sly Run, raise the elevation of this intersection by approximately 11 feet and construct new left-hand turn lanes, through lanes, and a traffic signal. The intersection closure will last 150 days, weather permitting. The

detour route during this time for S.R. 38 traffic will be State Road 32.

The project is expected to improve the efficiency of intersection at S.R. 38 and Little Chicago Road. The current signal operates on four independent phases, moving only one direction at a time. The new signal will permit simultaneous movement for north-south and east-west traffic, which is not permitted by the current configuration.

During INDOT’s construction period, the city will oversee the remaining four lane improvements to Little Chicago Road which consist of construction of a sanitary sewer along Little Chicago Road, a roundabout at 191st and Little Chicago Road, and four travel lanes for approximately 1,200 feet north of 191st Street to match the INDOT improvements at S.R. 38 and Little Chicago Road. The closure date and duration of the city’s portion of construction will match INDOT’s timeline.

For more information, visit www.cityofnoblesville.org/engineering or call the city’s engineering department at 776-6330.

Recycling plant like a trip to Disney World for this eco-freak Commentary

By Krista Bocko I got to tour a recycling plant for this week’s cover story. How many people get to climb into the hard hat area of a three story automated recycling sorter?

I crunched over broken glass and I felt the little earthquake as the shaker did its job, tumbling and sorting the glass from the paper and cardboard.

It was great.

I’ve wanted to tour a recycling facility for years. I was the kid that convinced my family to start recycling. I’ve been a die-hard recycler ever since.

Noblesville residents Craig Lutz and Laura Blank, who work for Republic, gave me the tour of the 96 Street Transfer Station, also known as an MRF—Materials Recovery Facility. This is where all of your trash and recycling goes until the trash gets hauled to one of two landfills—one near Terre Haute or one near Frankfort. You’ll read about what happens to the recycling.

I could talk all day about recycling but I do have a word limit. I know I’ve received questions about phone book recycling, and Republic DOES take phone books. The green and yellow Paper Retriever bins around town DON’T—hence the confusion. If you have any other recycling questions, contact me.

I learned a few things—one is that everything is recyclable if you’re willing to go far enough.

Republic simply can’t take everything, such as Sty-

rofoam or bubble wrap, but they do take a large variety of items.

My recycling assignment led me through the alleys of downtown Noblesville, watching and waiting for the recycling truck to come through. I finally flagged it down. Thanks, Roger, for letting me take your picture.

That was fun, too.

I spoke with Street Department Commissioner Len Finchum and learned that 50 percent of the money made through the recycling program comes back to the city to offset cost increases in the contract with Republic. So, it behooves all of us to participate as much as possible in the recycling program.

One more thing—don’t throw E-waste in the trash. As of Jan. 1, all e-waste such as computer monitors, computers, televisions, printers, keyboards, mice, DVD players, VCRs, etc. can’t go to landfills or be incinerated (Indiana Code 13-20.5). These items, which contain toxic heavy metals, need to be taken to the Hamilton County Hazardous Waste Center, located at 1717 Pleasant St., for safe disposal.

Rock on, recyclers!

Luncheon helps fund opportunities for Girl Scouts

By Jordan Fischer Current in Noblesville Deirdre Gengenbach’s Girl Scout troop bounces around her home, jumping from one project to the next with the boundless enthusiasm mustered only by 13-year-old girls on a mission.

Two of the girls are her own daughters, Adrienne and Haley – representing the fourth generation of Gengenbachs to continue the Girl Scouts tradition. However, Gengenbach says her daughters’ Girl Scouts is a much different organization the one she and her two sisters participated in when they were kids.

“In the past, the badge areas ranged through cooking, sewing, basic fire skills,” Gengenbach said. “Now there are badges on stress reduction, technology, and a lot of science and math opportunities.”

The iconic badge sashes are still the same, and they still sell cookies, but the Girl Scouts in Gengenbach’s home also were learning how to edit audio files to create stress-relieving music mixes while two of their peers practiced yoga in the living room.

“With girl input, they’re creating programs that are relevant to the girls today,” Gengenbach said. “It’s all about providing opportunities for girls to participate in activities that might be new to them, or a little scary, in a safe and comfortable environment. Through them, they gain

courage, confidence and character.”

But the Girl Scouts have added more than just new badges. A new fundraiser, now in its second year, helps provide opportunities to the Girl Scouts of today.

On Mar. 25, the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana will host the second annual Hamilton County Leadership Luncheon. The event, which is the primary fundraiser for the organization, will be held from noon to 1 p.m. at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville.

This year, Lt. Governor Becky Skillman will be the keynote speaker.

In 2010, the luncheon raised more than $27,000 for the organization through volunteered donations. Gengenbach said she is hoping to beat that this year.

“All of the money goes back to the girls,” she said. “It subsidizes the programs, it subsidizes the opportunities and provides grants for girls who don’t have the funds to participate. No girl is turned away because she can’t afford to do something.”

The luncheon itself is free. Donations will be requested on a volunteer basis during the event. Tables of eight or individual seats are available, and registration begins at 11:30 a.m.

For luncheon reservations, contact Mary Sue Rowland at marysuerowland@yahoo.com or call 773-1829.

Hamilton County kids join to feed hungry

By Margaret Sutherlin Current in Noblesville Children from across Hamilton County are up for a big challenge with this year’s Kids Against Hunger Pack-a-Thon. In past years, kids have been asked to put together 200,000 bundles of food to fight hunger at home and abroad.

This year, the goal is 500,000.

“It’s a big undertaking for us this year, especially since we have grown so much since 2007,” said Angie Mollenkopf, director of development and the program director for Kids Against Hunger in Indiana. “We are here to really teach kids about hunger and offer them a hands-on learning experience.”

Kids Against Hunger is a national nonprofit organization that reached Indiana in 2007 when Carmel residents Dan and Nancy Hintz decided it was an opportunity to serve the community. The Indiana chapter has distributed 2.5 million meals since 2007, 1.3 million of which were from 2010, and the organization operates year round through the Noblesville Red Cross.

This year’s Pack-a-Thon is scheduled on April 16, which is Global Youth Service Day. In conjunction with area schools and organizations, Kids Against Hunger hopes to package 500,000

meals for Gleaners and the Midwest Food Bank, and also send packages to orphanages and schools in Africa and Haiti. The mayors of Westfield, Carmel and Noblesville have all declared April 16 to be Kids Against Hunger Day to promote the Pack-a-Thon.

Each meal packaged is a carefully researched and developed series of ingredients to support immune systems and get vitamins to those who are malnourished. Mollenkopf described the “medicinal” blend of soy, dehydrated vegetables, rice and the “secret scoop” of vitamins as crucial to support those receiving the meals.

This year’s event seeks not just to feed the hungry, but also educate students about hunger and malnutrition around the area and world, as youth from Indianapolis and Hamilton County will be together at the Pack-a-Thon.

“This urban and suburban youth working together will be a chance to kind of develop a fellowship between them,” said Mollenkopf.

“This is a community-wide event to raise awareness and get kids working alongside kids and with adults too.”

Current in Noblesville Acclaimed Lowrey organ artist Seth Rye will be in town April 1 to play good music for a good cause.

Rye will perform at Lamberts Lowrey Organ Center, 573 Westfield Road, in Noblesville for two concerts during a day billed as one full of music, humor and entertainment. Rye also will perform twice the following day at Lamberts Music Center in Anderson. Both locations are owned by Phil and Judy Lambert.

Proceeds from both days will be used to help prevent child abuse in Hamilton and Madison Counties. Tickets are $10.

A self-taught musician, Rye has been playing the organ since the age of five. He’s also adapted some new-age ideals for his shows, including the use of video cameras on both his hands and his feet.

“It’s completely different with me than anyone else,” he said. “I carry tiny video cameras.

I show my hands, my feet, everything to the audience. It’s a complete AV show that accompanies my show.”

Rye is a self-described comedian but said he does not tell jokes.

“I play and I have fun with the audience. It’s

not a church concert, so I won’t make it one.”

In fact, Rye stressed that playing the organ does not go hand in hand with a church or a funeral. Instead, he prefers to play popular songs by artists such as Michael Bublé Each of his concerts begins with an opener of his choice, but from there he lets the audience decide.

“I try and let different types of people request a song. Normally my audiences are so mixed I can play just about anything, but I try to please as many as I can in a single performance,” Rye said.

Carol Powell is one of many Noblesville residents who believe the collection schedules in the city could be clearer.

“The main issue is we don’t know what week to set them out,” Powell said. “One time the recycling sat out for two weeks straight then was picked up on the third week. I do believe my neighbors have the same problem because I believe we rely on each other to see who puts theirs out, simply because we do not know the date to set them out.”

Powell recalled receiving a magnet showing the collection schedules when she first became a Republic customer. However, no calendars have been distributed since that time, even though the schedules may not be the same from year to year. The 2011 calendar is available online at www.indywaste.com/ Documents/2011_Indy_Waste_Recycling_ Calendar.pdf.

TEEN LIFE

By Jenna Larson My boyfriend and I watch a lot of Comedy Central together. Bo Burnham, Chris D’Elia, Nate Bargatze, Jack Whitehall, Mike Birbiglia. We’ve seen ‘em all.

Sometimes, I find myself wondering what it would be like to be a stand-up comic. I would definitely start out by plopping down on a stool and making some awkward pun about being a stand-up comedian … sitting down. Ha? I definitely think it would be an interesting way to make a living, just telling jokes and seeing a whole crowd of people beaming and laughing at what I said.

The only problem is …well, I’m not funny.

Actually, I guess I’m inadvertently funny sometimes, like when I trip while going up the stairs, and all my books fly everywhere. People at school seem to enjoy that a lot. But, you know, it’s a little painful, and I would imagine it wouldn’t go over as well in a crowded comedy club.

I could resort to puns, if need be. I do love puns. My friend Sarah and I never get tired of pointing out that we’re “sole mates” when we both don our beloved Chuck Taylor All Stars. But I think jokes like that would fall flat when told to an entire audience of nonConverse-sporting viewers.

A lot of the time, comics just complain about their wives. They make a big deal about everything that women do that bugs them. That wouldn’t be that hard. “She’s, like, totally crazy and stuff, right? I mean, she’s a girl. She giggles sometimes. She’s just nuts.” The only issue with that would be that I don’t have a wife. Plus, I’m a female, so I don’t really have many complaints about my own whiny feminine habits. Maybe that wouldn’t work.

OK, I admit defeat. I have no clue how to be a comic.

It seems like a relatively easy career. I mean, comedians really only work like an hour a day. Then they just chill … and do funny stuff. Right?

I guess, in all honesty, they probably have to put a good bit of effort into coming up with their material. It has to be relatable to the audience, but not offensive. That’s tough.

So I can cross this one off the list. Being a stand-up comic probably isn’t a great fit for me. A comedian’s job is no joke (HA! Get it?).

» Kids increase happiness…eventually Previous research has found that, despite the oft-cited joys of parenting, raising kids can be psychologically tough on parents. Having a baby diminishes marital satisfaction, for instance. But as kids grow up, the unhappiness melts away, according to a new study published in the March issue of the journal Population and Development Review. The more children parents over age 40 have, the happier they are, the study found.

» ‘Mind-body dissonance’ expands thinking - Did you ever have to smile politely when you felt like screaming? When facial expressions or posture differ from how we feel, we experience what psychologists at Northwestern University call mind–body dissonance, which they claim helps us think more expansively. This means we think about categories more inclusively and extend our horizons to the atypical or exotic.

The findings also back up evidence that suggests our physical actions directly influence the way we think.

Just keep in mind that the intensity of the wine should match the intensity of the cheese.

Mark Wahlberg stars in 'The Fighter.'

DVDs

By Chris Lloyd It’s interesting, though perhaps not surprising, that three-quarters of the main cast members of “The Fighter” received Oscar nominations, but not its star, Mark Wahlberg. This despite the fact that the biopic of boxer Micky Ward was Wahlberg’s dream project that he’d been trying to put together for the better part of a decade.

Micky was simply not a dominating personality, and Wahlberg reflected that in an understated performance that mostly existed to allow Amy Adams, Melissa Leo and Christian Bale to chew the scenery as (respectively) his brash girlfriend, his dominating mother Alice and his screw-up of a brother, Dickie.

Dickie was once the pride of Lowell, their hardscrabble hometown, for his own exploits in

the ring. But he’s devolved into a loud-mouthed drug addict, who’s ostensibly Micky’s trainer but mostly rambles around town looking to score.

Bale and Leo both won Oscar statues for their authentic, resonant performances, and Adams showed the world she can play more than princesses and sweet girls-next-door.

But it’s Wahlberg, both behind the camera and in front of it, who sacrificed showiness to set up his supporting cast for a knockout. In a business ruled by egos, that’s the ultimate rope-a-dope.

Look Sharp On A Budget: for Men

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

As a general rule, most people out there cannot tell how expensive your clothes are if they fit you. Even if you have a small budget for a suit, spend the extra dough to have it tailored to your body. A long crotch and wide arm holes are a tell-tale sign of the price you paid. Accessorize with a nice watch and a sharp pair of cufflinks to finish off the look.

Remember, if you don’t feel comfortable and confident in your clothes…others will notice!

Heal your brain with exercise WELLNESS

By Angela LaSalle M.D. We understand the calorie-burning effect of exercise, but did you know regular exercise is good for your brain? A 2008 study of factors affecting cognition in the elderly showed that regular exercise was a factor in the prevention of dementia and decline of neurological function.

This may be in part due to the release of growth factors, decrease in inflammation and increased release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin and glutamate.

Exercise also releases endorphins, which act as natural antidepressants for the body. Studies have shown that both serotonin and endorphins are increased by exercise and may be maintained at higher levels for several days. Milder cases of depression can respond well to regular exercise leading to increased self-esteem and a decrease in stress and anxiety.

Studies have shown that both serotonin and endorphins are increased by exercise and may be maintained at higher levels for several days.

John J. Ratey, MD, clinical associate professor of Psychiatry at Harvard, recently wrote about exercise’s effects on the brain in his book “Spark: The Revolutionary Science of Exercise and the Brain.” According to his writings, exercise helps to increase our stress tolerance, improves learning, combats symptoms of ADHD and improves the brain’s repair mechanisms by elevating a chemical called BDNF or brain derived neurotropic factor. By elevating the neurotransmitters and neurologic growth factors, the connections between the neurons are improved, promoting a quality of brain function known as synaptic plasticity.

Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco monitored 6,000 women’s exercise habits and cognitive function over an eightyear period. They found that those in the most active group had the best cognitive function.

Even small increases in exercise showed benefit.

For every extra mile walked per week, the team noticed a 13 percent smaller chance of cognitive decline. There are numerous studies linking improved brain function with exercise. With that being said, the only decision left to make is when to get moving.

The beauty of the ‘mommy makeover’ BODY BEAUTY

By Dr. Barry Eppley Pregnancy and childbirth can wreak havoc on a woman’s body. Few women would cast doubt on a phenomenon that they have probably seen or experienced. Throw in the strain of a few months of breast-feeding, and a bunch of sleepless nights, and a woman’s body is sure to suffer.

To reverse some of these changes, plastic surgery has come up with a variety of cosmetic procedures to help restore a woman’s body. Dubbed the “mommy makeover,” it has become popular as both a marketing concept and a treatment strategy for the post-pregnancy female body.

A mommy makeover is a collection of bodyreshaping procedures that focus on the breasts and abdomen – the two body areas most affected by pregnancy. These can include breast procedures, such as a breast lift, breast implants or a breast reduction. Abdominal and waistline options include various forms of tummy tucks and liposuction to eliminate unwanted pockets of fat from the stomach, hips and thighs.

None of these plastic surgery procedures are new, but combining them all at once in a single surgery is. Combining breast and abdominal reshaping can create the most dramatic changes ever seen in a woman between the shoulders and the hips. Some women can never return to exactly the way they looked before children, even with the best of plastic

surgery, but others end up looking shapelier than before pregnancy.

While many women get stellar results with a mommy makeover, it is not right for everyone.

The best candidates are women who are finished having children and are done with breast feeding. One should have made a good effort with diet and exercise to get the best body possible before surgery, and have sufficient time off and support to allow for an adequate recovery. While some women are anxious to begin the process of a mommy makeover shortly after giving birth to their last child, it is often better to wait for at least 6 months to a year.

Most mommy makeovers are done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. No really significant breast and abdominal changes can be done within the limits of local and sedation anesthesia. Real body changes require real surgery … and recovery.

While some women bounce back from pregnancy like nothing ever happened, other women struggle with feeling their bodies have been ravaged after pregnancy. Mommy makeovers can reverse years of damage to a woman’s body in just a few hours.

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

The ‘real’ consumer catnip COMMENTARY

By David Cain I have a theory that if you stamp something “confidential,” everyone wants to see what it is.

Boldly mark something “confidential” and set it on your desk or counter, and it will spark questions. That big red stamp on the outside of an envelope is the equivalent of saying “don’t do that” to a teenager. It’s putting a raw steak on the floor and telling your dog to leave it alone. It’s irresistible. It’s the catnip stamp. No one can resist picking it up, touching it, wondering what was inside that they couldn’t see.

At work, I sit close to other people; it’s a collaborative world. I get in the zone and do my thing and have gotten to the point I can’t hear a word they say. I push on with laser focus. However, if they begin to whisper or even lean in like they are going to whisper, my focus is diverted to their conversation. It’s the confidential stamp live and in person.

People are intrigued with what they can’t know. Secrets, gossip and all things taboo draw

people in. That out-of-the-way restaurant, a promotion code that only you get, a special letter that arrives and is only for you – they all pique our interest.

Today, marketing that gets attention is personalized. We pay more attention to things that are for only us and don’t feel like mass communications. The rise of Internet communications is partly attributed to its ability to personalize for the masses. People like secrets and special things. It’s the modernday example of the confidential stamp.

Giving personal attention and making things personal, special, and a bit secret (exclusive) always gets attention and results. People love preference and personalization. They love to feel like they are in the loop; that’s the real consumer catnip.

Secrets, gossip and all things taboo draw people in.

Addition, many agency suppliers offer a price-beat guarantee, she said.

Line has worked in the travel industry for more than 10 years. She began her career at RCI (Resort Condominiums International) where she worked in sales and service, assisted with customer check-in issues, and later worked in servicing RCI’s resort clients. She left RCI in 1997 to raise her children and pursue a career in freelance writing, something she continues to do now as a travel writer.

Outdoor living spaces: Avoiding headaches LANDSCAPING

By Mark Skipper I will never forget a very nice couple in Zionsville whose outdoor living space I had the opportunity to create. The result was fantastic, but this couple had a very bad experience before we even met. Another “landscaping contractor,” a term that will be used loosely, started their project, worked only one day and took the $8,000 down payment and never showed up again. These situations can and should be avoided.

In my last column, I talked about all of the unique options available as you plan your own outdoor living space. Options such as fireplaces, water features, pergolas and built-in grills can become a reality in any outdoor living space. In this article, I want to share the steps that you should follow in selecting a professional to build your outdoor dream space.

1. Check references: Not only ask for 3-5 past clients to call, but also ask to see at least one completed project. The No. 1 reason we built an outdoor living space at our garden center is to provide future clients an opportunity to see one of our projects firsthand. Be sure to ask a lot of questions when checking references.

2. Check insurance: I am absolutely amazed that almost every new client NEVER asks for a copy of our general liability or workers compensation insurance policies.

Accidental damage to your house or an

injured worker can become a nightmare to you and your family. Get a copy of the contractors insurance before any work is started.

3. Check certifications: Cutting grass is one thing, but installing an outdoor living space can be complicated and requires a much greater skill set. The national certification for paver patios is ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute) and retaining wall certification is NCMA (National Concrete Masonry Association).

Contractors are required to follow strict installation processes as well as annual continued education to maintain these certifications.

The two photos show a before and after outdoor living space located at our garden center.

The first photo gives a great cross section of the paver installation with the second photo the finished look. Depending on the type of

We are all crazy for daisies

paver or the special feature installed, the subbase material and/or foundations need to meet the specifications from the manufacturer. The wrong sub-base or installation techniques can cause problems for many years. Using a certified, knowledgeable and trustworthy landscaping professional will ensure many years of enjoyment in your outdoor living space.

What’s cooking with kitchen floors?

REMODELING

By David Decker Kitchen flooring is an expanding business, because the biggest trend in kitchen design is … larger kitchens.

With more floor area, taller ceilings and expansive adjacent living spaces, today’s kitchen floors – with their unprecedented size and presentation – are on display as never before. Keeping up with that trend is an ever-growing abundance of flooring materials and design options that can – with the right design input – help define and balance these often-complex spaces.

And while kitchen space and flooring display may be growing, there are still the same old practical issues to address – slip, stain and water resistance, repelling bacteria and mold, foot comfort, noise absorption, environmental concerns, and durability. Often, time-honored materials are the proven solution.

Wood’s warmth and richness has become wildly popular in kitchens the last 10 years or so, and now bamboo, which grows faster than

Hardwood adds texture and warmth to a kitchen. trees, is a less-expensive but viable substitute for wood. Linoleum, now made with linseed oil instead of chlorine, is environmentally friendly and remains among the most versatile, inexpensive and easy-to-install flooring choices.

Laminates are durable and available in endless patterns.

Porcelain tiles are making a comeback as highly durable, indoor-outdoor stone lookalikes. Modern radiant heat technology economically takes the “chill” out of tile flooring, and slip-resistance is enhanced with scoring and finish applications.

Cork flooring is also making a comeback, for its environmental sustainability and softness, which provides foot comfort, thermal insulation and sound-deadening. And, it’s waterproof to boot.

In high-end applications, pattern-colonized concrete joins slate, stone, terrazzo, glass, marble – even steel – in providing highly unique, luxurious, stylish and functional kitchen flooring. Appearance is just about always our clients’ No. 1 design parameter for kitchen flooring, but it’s the job of the professional flooring expert and unique home improvement designer to help arrive at the best mix of appearance, function and cost.

These days, that’s a really big decision.

GARDENING

By Holly Lindzy I have the fondest memories of traipsing through fields with my dad when I was little, searching for wild daisies. We’d bring home a fistful for my mom, and she’d put on a smile, as if a wilted bunch of daisies was just what she always wanted. Something so simple would bring lots of cheer to the house.

We carry these kinds of things with us into adulthood, and it often influences what goes into our own gardens. My garden is teeming with bright white daisies in June.

I’m sure it’s those memories that spark my fondness for all daisy type flowers. There is one for just about every color you desire.

The “annual” black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) is a garden powerhouse. It is fuller and brighter, with a longer bloom period than its perennial cousin, Rudbeckia fulgida “Goldsturm,” which is readily available in all the nurseries. They reseed all over and pop up in the coolest places. I have gobs of them everywhere and I swear that the first one I ever planted is still in its same spot. Annual – phooey.

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) is wonderfully attractive with purple petals curved slightly downward and contrasting orange eye. It is a butterfly magnet and the seed is a finch favorite. Reliably perennial, it also reseeds and is now available in exciting shades of orange and yellow, though the contrast of the eye is not as attractive. I plant it with tall tiger lilies (common daylily) and the orange of the daylily is superb with the orange and purple coneflower. It is the perfect low-maintenance perennial.

I’ll cut a big bunch of daisies for my daughter to give to my dad for Father’s Day. I know the memories are with him as well.

And I’ll keep the tradition going by including my daughter. It’s funny how things have come around full circle ... all because of the magic of flowers.

Lessons learned from imperfect parenting PARENTING

By Kristen Boice There is no such thing as perfect parenting.

When you take your baby home, the hospital doesn’t hand you a how-to manual. Parents learn on the job.

Parents do the best we can with what we know. We tend to take what we liked or didn’t like from our own parents and upbringing.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Wow, I sound exactly like my mom or dad?”

Here are just a few strategies I thought were helpful.

First, it’s vital we regulate and calm ourselves down before we can help try and calm our children. Think about the metaphor when flying on an airplane. The flight attendants give instruction, “If the cabin loses pressure, then the oxygen masks will drop from overhead. Place the mask over your own mouth and nose before assisting children.”

It would be wonderful if this mask would magically drop down in front of us when experiencing a conflict moment like a huge tantrum, so we could be reminded to breathe instead of yelling and screaming. Not many of us learned how to self-regulate as children. We need to be mindful and aware of our own emotions and how we are acting in front of our children.

What are we modeling?

Secondly, teach our children to stop and breathe. This will help them learn how to manage their emotions. It’s not just about practicing deep

GENEALOGY

By Darla Kinney Scoles I was recently given a list titled “100 Ways to Live a Better Life” and immediately realized that many of the things on this compilation could be accomplished by way of a family history project.

Nos. 3, 4 and 5, for example, suggest that creating a new habit, building self discipline and making new friends are a good way to live better. In order to make any progress in genealogy, one must make the pursuit of information a habit – requiring a great deal of discipline and resulting in a new set of similarly-engaged friends.

Keep a journal, travel far from home, learn to take risks and change your workspace were also high on the list. It doesn’t take much imagination to see how family history work fits in here.

Yes, there are risks. Ask anyone who started out thinking they were related to royalty only to find out that those “blue” bloodlines were really just carrying the gene for criminal insanity.

Learn a new language by decoding old census records. Start a blog on your family line. Try something new by attending a family history workshop.

Open five days a week

PETS

BY Dr. Greg Magnusson For me, spring is a time to look back at what has worked and what has failed, and renew my vision for the future. Let’s shake off the dust, open some windows, and take a deep breath of this gorgeous Indiana air!

The last seven months have been quite an adventure, at Leo’s Pet Care. We have made so many new friends, and look forward to meeting many, many more of you this year.

Starting a brand-spanking new business during this recession has been quite a challenge as you might expect, but I’m proud to report our doors are still open!!

Not only that, I am super excited to announce that beginning Friday, April 1st, Leo’s Pet Care will now be open five days a week!

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, we will open 8am-6pm, Saturday 8am-2pm (still closed Wednesdays except by early morning or evening appointment, for now).

I’d like to remind everyone that, if you haven’t already got your dogs and cats on flea and heartworm prevention, now is definitely the time. Most veterinarians require yearly heartworm testing before dispensing heartworm pills, so keep that in mind when

you’re budgeting for this season. Of course, Leo’s Pet Care recommends year-round flea and heartworm control. Because really, who wants worms in their pet’s heart and bugs on their fur? If the only critters you want in your home are the ones you can see, please see your veterinarian today to protect your pet, your kids, and yourself, from doggy and kitty parasites.

Spring is also a very common time for pets to be vaccinated, and for good reason. All that fresh air means we take our pets outside to explore, and meet new friends! Truly, nothing makes a veterinarian sadder than seeing a dog or cat get sick from something we could have easily prevented with a couple of inexpensive shots. Please vaccinate your pets.

Then, once your pets are vaccinated, parasite-proofed and heartworm-protected, you can rest easier knowing you have made their outside time as safe as possible.

Dr. Magnusson, a practicing veterinarian for the last decade, is now the owner of Leo’s Pet Care, a new veterinary hospital located at 106th and College. Contact Dr. Magnusson at DrM@LeosPetCare.com or 317-7217387 (721-PETS).

Spring is also a very common time for pets to be vaccinated, and for good reason.

Pets of the week Malichi is a nine-year-old male chocolate American Pit Bull Terrier mix. Malichi is a very affectionate boy who adores humans of all ages. He is house trained and knows the commands sit, shake, stay and roll over. Malichi is still very playful and outgoing and would do well in most any home, but he would prefer a family who will make him the center of their attention and not have to share them with other pets. He also qualifies for the PAWS program and can be adopted for a reduced fee by anyone age 55 or older.

Butterscotch is a three-year-old female orange and white tabby DSH. Butterscotch is a very sweet tempered girl who loves to cuddle and snuggle right into your neck. She is spayed and litter box trained and would make a wonderful lap cat. Butterscotch arrived at the shelter in need of surgery to repair a hernia and she received the necessary medical attention, so now she is looking for a loving forever home where she can finish recuperating and begin her happily ever-after.

Ready for spring, not yardwork HUMOR

By Mike Redmond Spring has not yet sprung, at least not officially, but it’s out there, coiled up and ready to go “kaboing” right in our faces.

You might assume I am not 100 percent in favor of this arrival-of-spring-thing, and you would be right. Oh, I’m as tired of winter as you are – and I’m a person who actually likes winter. How could you not like a season that has Christmas, Groundhog’s Day and National Pancake Day. But this year’s winter has been, to use the meteorological term, a lulu. Snow, ice, cold, kids home from school for months at a time … it was almost as bad as the winters our parents used to tell us about where they had to walk five miles through raging blizzards just to get a Hershey Bar. So yes, I’ve had about enough winter, too.

But that does not mean I am ready for spring.

Spring, after all, means yard work, and I detest yard work.

A little while ago I took a look around the back yard to determine what must be done to get it into some reasonable semblance of shape.

Here are my notes: 1. Scoop up dog bombs. Get BIG scooper and bucket. Cut down size and frequency of dog’s meals.

2. Hire landscaper?

3. Talk to dog about big hole where Japanese

24 | March 15, 2011

lilies used to be.

4. Consider planting artificial flowers.

5. See if guy down street who keeps asking for money wants to earn it performing dog bomb removal. Doubt it. Even winos have SOME standards.

6. Landscapers expensive. Maybe just get quotes.

7. See if family of possums is still camped out under back porch. Assuming they are possums and not Ginormous Mutant Sewer Rats. In either case, call exterminator because dog has already said she has no intention of going under porch, the big weenie.

8. Also go online for landscaping tips; bypass landscaper fee entirely.

9. Calculate amount of grass seed needed to patch bare spots in what is jokingly referred to as “lawn.”

10. Forget grass. Forget paving. Forget landscaping. Rent large rototiller. Plow back yard.

Plant cantaloupe. See what terms dog will require for fertilizer contract.

I know what you’re thinking. I’m an idiot.

Raising cantaloupe IS a lot of work.

True. But it isn’t yard work.
