By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com A Noblesville man was killed in a two-car accident near Lapel on March 16. Deputy Vicky Dunbar of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept. said the crash happened just prior to 4 p.m. at the intersection of Cyntheanne Road and 196th Street. Brent Russell, 40, Noblesville, was killed when the 1993 Honda Civic he was driving was struck by a 2001 Dodge Dakota driven by Calvin Bays, 24, Lapel. Dunbar said Russell, who was southbound on Cyntheanne Road, appeared to have stopped at the stop sign at 196th Street, but continued into the intersection where he was struck by Bays. Dunbar said Bays, who was westbound on 196th Street, had the right of way. “Roadway evidence indicates (Bays) did brake and attempt to swerve to the left to avoid the collision, but was unable to do so,” Dunbar said. Russell was fatally injured in the crash. Bays complained of leg pain and was taken by ambulance to St.Vincent Hospital Northeast for treatment. Dunbar said there were no direct witnesses of the crash and this is an open investigation by the Hamilton County Crash Investigation Team.

Travel Iceland worth adding to bucket list COMMUNITY

Commentary by Tracy Line

Looking for a unique vacation destination? One that offers geysers, glaciers and a good soak in a geothermal pool? Perhaps somewhere with culture, gourmet restaurants and nightlife? Try Iceland on for size. Iceland may not be on your vacation radar, but perhaps it should be. This not-as-cold-as-youthink nation is growing in popularity among travelers. And for good reason: Iceland is a four-season destination offering nature, culture and sights you just can’t find elsewhere. These are some fun facts about this wondrous vacation destination: Iceland is the approximate size of Kentucky. It has a population of 317,000 people, with the majority living in the capitol city of Reykjavik. Reykjavik has an abundance of restaurants, museums, theaters and lodging options. Yet just outside the city, you can see wildlife, volcanoes and the Blue Lagoon (a beautiful thermal pool). Visitors can also enjoy fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, snorkeling and whale watching. The food is more varied than you’d imagine. While

traditional Icelandic dinners include lamb, dairy or fish, you’ll also find Asian, Italian and Indian cuisine. The produce is grown locally and the water, derived from the glacier springs, is pollution-free. Many believe Iceland to be extremely cold and far away. In fact, temperatures in the winter rarely go less than 25 degrees, while summer temperatures reach the 60-degree mark. And far is relative; Iceland is in Northern Europe, a three-hour flight from London or a five-hour flight from New York. The high-travel season is mid-June through August, with July being the most prime time to visit. Winters are dark, but in the summer, you’ll find up to 20 hours of sunlight daily. Those traveling from fall to early spring have the chance to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights). Iceland has a lot to offer for those seeking a unique adventure.

New TSA screening protocols for seniors – After years of criticism, the Transportation Security Administration is taking the initial steps to modify screening for people age 75 or older. The TSA began test procedures allowing those passengers to leave their shoes on, as well as light outerwear on March 26. Other changes are intended to reduce the likelihood that older passengers will be subjected to a pat-down. The tests will be conducted at four airports: Chicago's O'Hare, Denver International, Portland International in Oregon, and Orlando International. If they are successful, the TSA could expand the procedures to checkpoints nationwide.

DIVORCE – WHAT TO EXPECT: CHILD SUPPORT In Indiana, in any Dissolution of Marriage, Post-Dissolution, or Paternity action, the court will enter a child support obligation to be paid by one of the parties, (typically, the noncustodial parent). The Indiana Child Support Guidelines are presumed to be applicable in every such proceeding and govern the payment and determination of child support. The Guidelines are based on the “Income Shares” theory; specifically, that both parents are responsible for the support of a child based upon their respective income shares. The underlying philosophy is that a child should be provided the same lifestyle which would have been afforded to him/her had the family remained intact or had the parties married. The Guidelines are presumed to apply in each case unless a reason can be shown as to why a deviation from the calculated obligation is warranted. In determining the support obligation, child support calculators are used to create a Child Support Worksheet, which must be filed with the Court in each proceeding. In addition to the parties’ gross incomes, other factors included in determining the support obligation are: actual work-related childcare expenses, healthcare insurance premiums for the children, parenting time overnights exercised, support or maintenance received or paid, and subsequent children in either parties’ home. When a Court deems appropriate, numerous benefits received by one party, including parties’ bonus incomes, commissions, or even regular gifts from family or friends, may be included as income for support purposes.

The College Entrance Examination Board and ACT, Inc. were not involved in the production of, and do not endorse, this program. *Offer valid for Academic Evaluation or Tuition, new students only. Not valid with any other offer.

There are a number of reasons to deviate from the presumed obligation by the Guidelines. These include, but are not limited to, voluntary unemployment or under-employment by one of the parties. If a Court finds either of these to be a factor, it may impute potential income to that party for purposes of determining support. There are cases wherein clients propose to their attorney an agreement with the opposing party to forgo the receipt of support. This is not appropriate in most cases. Such an arrangement may be appropriate if the parties equally share physical custody of the child(ren) and agree to share expenses due to the fact that their incomes are relatively similar, however, parties must understand that it is not their right to waive support for the child(ren), rather it is the child’s right to receive the same. Issues with respect to child support are very fact sensitive and different issues will arise in each case. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the Guidelines is necessary to determine the appropriate obligation in any given case when issues arise. At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C., our team has the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

How Noblesville is seeking to advance development in Hamilton Town Center By Robert Herrington • robert@youarecurrent.com Noblesville is looking to preserve its investment and improve economic development in the city by using a unique funding scenario at Hamilton Town Center. The Noblesville Common Council has agreed to pay $1.6 million of the more than $2 million rehabilitation and construction costs to help Simon Property Group transform the former Borders bookstore location for a new tenant. “We’re making an investment to preserve our investment,” Common Council President Greg O’Connor said. “The cost to us is fairly low.” For the next eight years, the city will pay $225,000 a year plus 2-percent interest for the $1.6 million bond. “It’s weird times,” explained City Attorney O'Connor Mike Howard. “We’ve never done anything exactly like this.” Howard said the city has entered developer agreements in the past – citing the Stony Creek development along Ind. 37. “We borrowed about $6 million to put in roads, sewage. We had agreements with Meijer, Lowe’s, Duke Development and Kite Development,” he said, adding each wrote a check semiannually helping to pay the debt on infrastructure. “It was a win-win. With developments, the first guy in can’t pay for everything.” When Hamilton Town Center was being built in 2006, the city installed $19 million of infrastructure – roads, sewage and drainage. Howard said the debt service on the infrastructure is $1.5 million and the city generates $2.4 million on tax revenue each year. “We’re in the black $900,000 a year on that project,” said Howard. “It’s very, very good.” In exchange for the city’s financial commitment, Simon Property Group has agreed to an annual guaranteed tax increment financing of $2,460,906 – the amount paid last year. “Essentially, instead of banking on future increases with retail, our goal was to create a basement so existing revenue didn’t go down,” Howard said.

To match the city’s bond, Simon Property Group’s annual guaranteed TIF shall be for a period of eight years beginning with taxes payable in 2012. The agreement shall be reduced to seven years if the total tax increment after March 1 exceeds the annual guaranteed TIF by at least $200,000 during the first seven years. It can be further reduced if the amount exceeds the annual guaranteed TIF by at least $400,000 during the first six years. “The annual guaranteed TIF shall be used by the city to pay the debt service on the bonds,” said Howard. “It’s $200,000 of taxes they’re paying anyway.” Simon Property Group also agrees to waive its rights to appeal the assessed value of Hamilton Town Center’s real estate. This is especially important to the city as Howard said appealing and tax codes have changed. The city has already lost assessed value when a store in Stony Creek area had appealed and became retroactive six years with a discounted assessed value of $455,000. “It’s a conundrum with the economy and alternative evaluating methods. It really makes it tough,” Howard said. While the chances of Simon Property Group folding during the term of the agreement are slim, language has been written into the contract protecting the city’s investment. Howard said Noblesville has a tax lien on the property, and if something happened, the city has the same priority of taxes, ahead of banks, to recoup its funds. “We’re secured to the greatest extent possible,” he said. Bill Hammer, vice president of Simon Property Group, said Hamilton Town Center was one of the last new centers built “before the world stopped in 2008 in the retail business.” Hammer said only one or two other centers have opened in the nation since then. “Hamilton Town Center is a successful project. Borders was very successful there, but as a Hammer chain, it ran into problems nationwide. It was

not a reflection on Hamilton Town Center,” said Hammer. “We are working hard to find a replacement.” Hammer said an announcement of the new business could come shortly, but declined to comment on the name. It is known the new business is a retail store. Part of the agreement specifies to land the new business, Simon Property Group will charge half the lease costs per square foot Borders was paying. “It helps all of our smaller accounts,” he said. “It’s important to replace that tenant.” Why should the city help Simon Property Group, which is ranked No. 1 in the U.S. as the largest real estate investment trust? City officials said the new business will stimulate economic development at Hamilton Town Center by retaining existing businesses and attracting additional businesses. “It’s just really important to keep Hamilton Town Center vibrant. It brings a lot of increment to the city,” said Economic Development Director Judi Johnson. “Hamilton Town Center is on the map for drawing people.” “We started seeing what was happening in retail,” added Howard. “We don’t know how long the Borders space will be vacant.” Johnson When large anchor stores leave, it begins a domino effect, which causes assessed value to drop. “We’re trying to prevent hard times. It is a different world,” Howard said. An example of the effects of an anchor leaving and destroying assessed value can be found here in Hamilton County. City officials cited 116th Street in Carmel near Keystone Avenue and Range Line Road, where Hobby Lobby left the strip mall. “Vacancies beget vacancies,” Howard said. “Rabbits and bean fields do not pay a lot of taxes.” In addition to the amenities Hamilton Town Center provides, it also generates 3,000 jobs in Noblesville. “We made a significant investment out in the area and brought an amenity to the city that wasn’t there then,” said O’Connor. “We don’t need to be in a position where our assessed value is deteriorating. The amenity is too important to the community and a very important asset to the city.”

Editorial Your letters to us are the write stuff

Precious cargo It is our position a phase-in approach should be used for new school buses to be equipped with lap/shoulder seat belt restraints. The recent death of a 5-year-old Indianapolis girl as a result of a school bus accident begs the question once again: Why do school buses not have seat belts? The rationale that, in the event of an accident, it is safer for a child to bounce from seat to seat than be restrained with a safety belt, defies logic. Even the nation’s highest authority on children’s health, the American Academy of Pediatrics has had a long-standing position that new school buses should have safety restraints. The barrier seems to be expensed at estimations up to $10,000 per bus, especially in a downward economy where many school systems are scrambling for funding. Can school systems afford to attach a price tag to the safety of our precious cargo? Absolutely. Some school districts with school bus safety restraint laws have even seen an improvement in behavior and fewer distractions for the bus driver. Will seat belts on school buses actually keep our children safer? Would the children actually comply? We‘ll never know until we try.

Myth busting

Commentary by Terry Anker

It has fallen out of vogue with the educated set to admit an affinity for watching TV and eating fast food. So if confession is good for the soul, I confess TV, at its best, is awesome; and on some days, it is hard to beat a Quarter Pounder with cheese and those addictive french fries. Isn’t moderation the key? The boob tube and calorie bombs are offset with shows at the Tarkington, a piled-high reading list, Indiana University basketball and time on the treadmill. However, the advent of modern cable programming has not only brought into our homes a bunch fameobsessed would-be starlets exhibiting way too much of their wares on reality shows, it has also delivered some innovative family programming. Amongst our favorites is “MythBusters.” Led by an affable pair of overgrown kids, Hoosier native and IU graduate Jamie Hyneman and his partner, Adam Savage, attempt to prove or disprove common American myths, all the while educating the unsuspecting audience of the principles of science. They teach

of preparation and discovery by showing the result of an exploding hot water tank, a rapidly depressurizing plane or, my personal favorite, using a stick of dynamite to clean the interior of cement truck mixer. Yet their good-natured, if sometimes sophomoric, humor serves as a model of how to make learning fun. They are credit to their network (Discovery Channel) as Hyneman is to our state. While their attempts to question perceptions are strictly limited to the natural world – ghost hunters and Sasquatch guides get no support – they are busting the common mythology learning, like Castor oil, must be taken while holding one’s nose. Isn’t the delivery mechanism, whether online, over the airwaves or in the classroom, far less important the passion and the dedication of the adult delivering the message?

Keep letters to 200 words max (we may make exceptions), and be sure to include your home zip code and a daytime number for verification. www.currentnoblesville.com

Dear Danielle (Wilson), I glanced at your article today thinking for once you would have something civil to say … But alas, your shrillness continues. I am 100 percent confident Brian and Steve don’t need your sensational name-calling to sell newspapers. If the tables were turned, you would have a cow. We are trying to have a

Current in Noblesville

We received a letter to the editor, published below on this page, from Ron Brumbarger, a Westfield resident. Ron, as is his right, took exception to a column written by Danielle Wilson that we published in the March 20 editions. We’re thrilled Ron took the time to write on something about which he feels strongly. He completely gets it … in that Current’s is an open door to the community. Whether you wish to commend us, rip us and/or comment on any aspect of life in our area, you, like Ron, should rest assured your comments would be published. Just as Danielle is something of a lightning rod among our readership, letters such as Ron’s stir similar discussion. Inasmuch as we do not legislate what Danielle writes, neither do we censure what letter writers send us … unless there’s language not fit for a community newspaper (Ron’s letter had NONE of that), in which case we give it a Clorox scrub; never, however, do we change what the writer is trying to convey. So, follow Ron’s lead and generate discussion with your fellow readers and us. The only caveats are these: You must allow us to use your name, your submission must be 200 or fewer words (and contain a daytime contact so we may verify the origin of the letter) and you must provide your home ZIP code. Freedom of speech. We’re all for it. Try it! ••• A salute, please, to Kevin Kane, our Carmel managing editor, who is leaving us shortly for greener pastures. Kevin’s two-plus years with us has resulted in product improvements across all our communities. He leaves some rather large boots to fill, although he will continue to do occasional investigative reports for us. Kevin’s contributions have been many, and we wish him well. We will name a successor next week. Brian Kelly, publisher, and Steve Greenberg, general manager, are co-owners of Current Publishing, LLC. Write them at info@ youarecurrent.com.

Peewee basketball madness Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I think I have an ulcer. My stress levels are skyrocketing thanks to my daughter’s secondgrade basketball team. I thought I’d seen the epitome of midget mayhem when our kids played U4 soccer. But that was only because we hadn’t had anyone play hoops yet. Sweet mercy – it’s madness. For starters, there are very few rules. A teenage referee calls “out of bounds,” “jump ball” and “man down; need a mommy,” and that’s about it. There are no silly turnovers due to traveling, double dribbling or fouling, and the players are not allowed to steal. The result is 10 little girls (and I do mean little) running up and down a full court at break-neck speed, often in the wrong direction, and only sometimes in control of the ball. The game is literally a survival of the least agile. This peewee pandemonium also means the winning team is usually the one whose coach knows how to work the system. Last week we played the Purples, whose defense was hard to penetrate. These girls simply swarmed whoever had the ball and suffocated her with outstretched arms. Even if our kid got a shot off, the ball would rebound right back into her face, having hit the human tent that had sprung up around her. There may be no crying in baseball, but in primary school basketball, tears are pretty standard. Luckily, we have a couple of ringers, who

For more laughs, read Mike Redmond's column at currentnoblesville.com despite their small stature, can play some serious ball. We are undefeated, thank you very much! Listen to me: We are undefeated. As if I’m a member of this team. And that’s my problem. I’m engaging in every game as if it’s my own personal Final Four. I scream constantly and unabashedly. “Block out!” “Defense!” “Shoot it, Maddie!” (To my credit, I’ve kept “Air ball!” under wraps.) And because she’s the first of my kiddos to follow in my footsteps, I haven’t had a chance to temper my enthusiasm for the sport, which is why I’m developing heartburn and high blood pressure. Sure, it’s just a church league and most of the players are still in car seats, but I can’t help the competitive spirit that overtakes me as I watch the no-stop clock count down each of the four quarters. If we’re not up by 10 or more, I’m close to stroking out. It’s awful. Thank goodness the season is but six weeks. I can’t take the pressure! Go Lil’ Hoopsters, go! Peace out.

“mirror mirror” (friday) – A new and lighthearted take on the classic story of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” starring Julia Roberts, Lily Collins, Armie Hammer and Nathan Lane.

Coats-Wright Art & Design specializes in a wide range of artistic pieces including antiques, wall art, sculptures and furniture. (Submitted Photos)

Coats-Wright mixes traditional antiques with modern art and design By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com

Diane Wright, co-owner of Coats-Wright Art & Design, has been in the art business for more than 30 years. Her gallery, which opened last May in the Indiana Design Center, is home to a wide array of art, antiques, furniture and more. Wright has a passion for art and design, both old and new, and finds them most interesting when placed in contrast to one another. “I think it’s great to see antiques, old rugs and traditional paintings mixed with modern art and interiors,” said Wright. “People shouldn’t be afraid to mix the modern and the traditional.” This central idea has given her gallery its unique flavor. Everything from paintings by local artist C.W. Mundy to pieces on consignment from the New York gallery of Jane Eckert, co-owner, a good friend of Wright’s for 32 years, is on display. In addition to traditional fine art, Wright has joined with Westfield’s R. Beauchamp Antiques and Sarver’s Oriental Rugs to offer a wide array of European furniture and fine vintage rugs. Wright “I love antiques because they are flawed. As humans, we are all flawed, and I think that’s why one misconception in the community. “I want to shout from the rooftops that the (antiques) have that appeal to me,” said Wright. Since opening the gallery, Wright has noticed public can come in here,” said Wright. “A lot of

people seem to think it is for members of the trade only, and that’s not the case.” The Center is putting new signage in place to correct the misconception. While Wright deals with an array of customers from day to day, she tends to see one common problem. “Most individuals don’t leave a budget or a plan for art in their redesign projects,” said Wright. “Letting art drive the project allows you to create an environment for a wonderful piece.” In Wright’s opinion, a room or space designed around art leads to a cohesive vision, while a good design can be bogged down by art only added as an afterthought. Wright said she doesn’t believe the gallery experience should be intimidating or exclusive. “I don’t want people to be afraid to ask me questions,” said Wright. “The first step in collecting isn’t buying; it’s education.” WHAT: Coats-Wright Art & Design WHERE: indiana Design Center, 200 S.

NIGHT & DAY Music Hancock exemplifies group synergy at Palladium Review by Bryan Ferry

It is amazing when such an international artist can be standing in front of a packed house here in Carmel (imagine seeing Prince at the Palladium if you are a pop fan). For some listeners, the only music they knew from Herbie Hancock was an electronic hit back in the ’80s called “Rockit,” but obviously, his catalog includes much more. I first heard him when Hancock played alongside Miles Davis and redefined the role of jazz rhythm sections. he was with Miles Davis on one of the most revolutionary jazz albums I have ever experienced. This song, for most ever recorded, “Bitches Brew.” Miles, at that musicians, would be impossible to perform. time, surrounded himself with a new group of They actually go back and forth from “Sevenyoung geniuses, and Herbie was quite capable. teens” (named for the 17 beats in a measure) to The show opened with the drummer, Trevor “Watermelon Man.” Simply put, it was insane.

Review by Chris Lloyd

“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” is probably the most disrespected film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. This challenging drama was directed by high-toned director Stephen Daldry (“Billy Elliot,” “The Reader”) and adapted from Jonathan Safran Foer’s best-selling novel by screenwriter Eric Roth (“Forrest Gump”). Despite that prestigious pedigree, and the presence of major stars Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, “Loud” barely received a theatrical release. And reviews generally ranged from indifferent to openly hostile. Me? I rushed it into the No. 3 slot on my top 10 slot at the last minute. Those lambasting the film seemed to regard it as cynically manipulating the decade-old tragedy of 9/11, as a young boy searches the city of New York for clues to a game he played with his father, who died in the World Trade Center. I think these critics erroneously tried to force the label of “the definitive 9/11 movie” on the film, when really, it’s more a ruminative tale about a very specific, unusual child. As played with devastating effect by newcomer Thomas Horn, Oskar Schell is a brilliant but N4 | March 20, 2012

A new exhibit, “Remembered Light: Glass Fragments from World War II,” is on display in Zionsville. This unique exhibit features 13 different artists’ work in the form of stained-glass windows. While the windows themselves are breathtaking, there is much more to the pieces and their origins. During World War II, a U.S. Army chaplain named Fredrick Alexander McDonald found himself being pulled through war-torn Europe. As McDonald traveled from city to city, he was grief-stricken at the sight of so many destroyed synagogues, churches and cathedrals. In a wonderful moment of foresight, McDonald began collecting the fragments of glass from the elaborate stained-glass windows of the cathedrals destroyed in the fighting. Though he died in 2003, McDonald’s observations of war and mankind’s dark side have been reborn in the years since. Modern stained-glass artists were brought together and created elaborate images of the fragments’ original cathedrals and towns so they may live on, even if it is only to serve as a reminder of humanity’s destructive nature. Having been exhibited previously on both

coasts, the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center is the first location the pieces have been available to view anywhere in the middle of the nation. Each piece acts to combine art and nature in a way that creates an emotionally-stirring image and tribute to the fragments’ former home, while also acting as a means of World War II education. Many of the churches McDonald visited were involved in areas and moments of the war rarely known to many Americans. From this perspective, the exhibit is not only quite visually striking, but reflective and informative. “Remembered Light: An Exhibition Featuring Glass Fragments from World War II” will be on display through Memorial Day at the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center in Zionsville. Please call 873-6862 or visit www.currentnightandday. com for more information.

Senior spring: Embrace aging and live longer well editorial@youarecurrent.com

Simply living longer isn’t enough. What we really want is to live longer well; staying healthy enough to continue doing the things we love. While having good genes certainly helps, a growing body of research suggests that how well you age depends largely on you and what you do. Fortunately, research also finds that it’s never too late to make changes like these that can help you live a longer and healthier life: Eat a rainbow. You need fewer calories when you get older, so choose nutrient-rich foods like brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Eat a range of colors – the more varied, the wider the range of nutrients you’re likely to get. Shoot for two servings of salmon, sardines, brook trout or other fish rich in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids a week. Sidestep falls. Walking as little as 30 minutes, three times a week can help you stay physically fit and mentally sharp, strengthen your bones, lift your spirits – and lower your risk of falls. That’s important because falls are a leading cause of fractures, other serious injuries and death among older adults. Toast with a smaller glass. Drinking a moderate amount of alcohol may lower your risks of heart disease and some other illnesses. But what’s “moderate” changes with age. It means just 1 drink per day for older men and ½ a drink daily for older women. (A “drink” is 1 ounce of hard liquor, 6 ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer.) Know the low-down on sleep in later life. Contrary to popular belief, older people don’t need less sleep than younger adults. Most need at least seven or eight hours of shut-eye a night. If you’re getting that much and are still sleepy during the day, see your healthcare professional. You may have a sleep disorder called sleep apnea. Flatten your (virtual) opponent, sharpen your mind. Conquering your adversary in a complex computer game, joining a discussion club, learning a new language and engaging in social give-and-take with other people can all help keep your brain sharp, studies suggest. Enjoy safe sex. Older adults are having sex more often and enjoying it more, research finds. Unfortunately, more older people are also being diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases. To be safe, use protection until you are in a monogamous relationship with someone whose sexual history you know. Get a medications check. When you visit your healthcare

Cutting down on red meat and boosting veggie intake is important for seniors to get the nutrients needed for healthy aging.

Taking a 30-minute walk three times a week can improve your health and reduce risk of falls. professional, bring either all of the prescription and over-thecounter medications, vitamins, herbs and supplements you take, or a complete list that notes the names of each, the doses you take and how often you take them. Ask your healthcare provider to review everything you brought or put on your list. He or she should make sure they’re safe for you to take, and that they don’t interact in harmful ways Speak up when you feel down or anxious. Roughly one in five older adults suffers from depression or anxiety. Lingering sadness, tiredness, loss of appetite or pleasure from things you once enjoyed, difficultly sleeping, worry, irritability and wanting to be alone much of the time can all be signs that you need help. Tell your healthcare professional right away. There are many good treatments for these problems.

Hiring older workers may have its benefits – Employers should think twice about passing on older workers, writes blogger Dave Bernard (www.lovebeingretired.com). Older workers tend to have more career direction and knowledge, and are less prone to turnover and absences from work. Older employees also often have fewer dependents for health plans, which can save companies money. – (Source: Dave Bernard via www.usnews.com)

As we age, our bodies react differently to medications. It's important to get your prescriptions checked regularly. Get your shots – they’re not just for kids! Must-have vaccines for seniors include those that protect against pneumonia, tetanus/ diphtheria, shingles, and the flu, which kills thousands of older adults in the U.S. every year. Find the right healthcare professional and make the most of your visits. See your healthcare professional regularly, answer his or her questions frankly, ask any questions you have and follow his or her advice. If you have multiple chronic health problems, your best bet may be to see a geriatrician - a physician with advanced training that prepares her to care for the most complex patients. Resources to help find one are available online at www. healthinaging.org. - American Geriatric Society Foundation for Health in Aging

A senior by any other name Commentary by Marcia Wilson Old, decrepit, frail, senile, shriveled, wrinkled, worthless, over-the-hill, curmudgeon, one foot in the grave, doddering, teetering, elderly, senior. Wait a minute. Senior? Yup. According to an article in the paper last week, apparently the word “senior” has fallen out of favor because we (presumably the boomers) think we are much younger than our parents were when they were our age. Now it’s true we all age differently, but I also suspect our parents may have thought the same thing about their parents at one time, and we all have selective memories. Plus, our parents had to be 65 to be considered senior citizens, and now we have AARP telling us we’re seniors at 50, and senior communities popping up for those 55 and older. Besides aging differently, we all react differently, too. My grandmother refused to acknowledge she was a senior citizen, even when they were handing out free cheese to seniors, whereas my husband could hardly wait to turn 50 and get AARP and golf discounts. Here’s the thing, though. It’s not about the words at all, and any word or euphemism we come up with will go the way of “elderly” and “senior” unless we change the way we perceive aging. We’ve got it all backward. Aging is a good thing! This whole anti-aging movement is ridicu-

lous because there’s only one way to stop aging and most of us aren’t in a hurry to be dead. Let’s be more like the Okinawans – they think old people have attained supernatural powers and can share this power with others, and people want to touch and shake hands with them. The children fight over who GETS (not has) to take care of their parents. OK, that’s probably not going to happen in our culture, but instead of fighting aging, lying about it or covering it up, we should embrace the opportunity to redefine it. And the best way to redefine it is to keep moving. Nothing feels as good as staying strong, being able to get up and down the stairs, being able to get up off the floor, heck, even just being able to get out of bed in the morning! Wherever you are with your health, levels of exercise and movement will help you maintain or gain strength, balance, flexibility and confidence, and with all of that, who cares what “label” we have? I’m OK with being called a senior. We are not obsolete and we still have plenty to say and do, so let’s set a good example. Repeat as necessary: Aging is a good thing! Marcia Wilson holds a master's degree in gerontology and teaches Body Recall courses for aging adults. Wilson can be reached at wanderw@ iquest.net.

Safe at home: Fall prevention 101 Commentary by Kent McCool Each year, one in every three adults age 65 and older falls. Falls can lead to moderate to severe injuries, such as hip fractures and head traumas, and can even increase the risk of early death. Twenty to 30 percent of people who fall suffer moderate to severe injuries such as lacerations, hip fractures or head traumas. These injuries can make it hard to get around or live independently, and increase the risk of early death. In 2007, 81 percent of fall deaths were among people 65 and older. • Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries. In 2000, TBI accounted for 46 percent of fatal falls among older adults. • Most fractures among older adults are caused by falls. The most common are fractures of the spine, hip, forearm, leg, ankle, pelvis, upper arm and hand. • Many people who fall, even if they are not injured, develop a fear of falling. This fear may cause them to limit their activities, leading to reduced mobility and loss of physical fitness, which in turn increases their actual risk of falling. The chances of falling and of being seriously injured in a fall increase with age. In 2009, the rate of fall injuries for adults 85 and older was

almost four times that for adults age 65 to 74. Many falls can be prevented. To lower the risk of falling: • Begin a regular exercise program. Exercise makes you stronger, improves balance and increases coordination. • Review medications with a health care provider. Some medications, or combinations of medicines, can create sleepiness or dizziness and increase the risk of falling. • Schedule a vision screening. Poor vision, as well as conditions like glaucoma and cataracts, increases the chances of a fall. • Remove falling hazards from the home. Remove things you can trip over, especially from the stairs and walkways. Install grab bars in the bathrooms and use nonslip mats. Improve the lighting in your home and have handrails and lights put on all staircases. • Wear shoes. Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers to decrease the chance of tripping.

Antioxidants could kill cancer cells editorial@youarecurrent.com

National Institutes of Health researchers from two institutes and one center have demonstrated some antioxidants damage DNA and kill cells instead of protecting them. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on March 19, also suggest this surprising capability may be good for treating cancer, but may prove cautionary when using antioxidant-based medicines to treat other disorders, such as diabetes. "It may have important clinical applications in treating people with cancer, especially if they have failed previous treatments,” said senior author Kyungjae Myung. By adding antioxidants to the diet, many people hope to slow down the process some believe contributes to the normal process of aging. Myung did not set out to challenge this anti-aging strategy, and the new findings may not fundamentally alter the approach. Instead, Myung's group sought a new way to easily identify chemicals that damage DNA, and then use those chemicals to study cellular repair mechanisms, a basic research question. Using a laboratory-grown cell line from human kidneys, the National Human Genome Research Institute team, which included Jennifer Fox, lead

author and post-doctoral fellow, developed a novel laboratory test, or assay, that readily shows when a chemical exposure damages DNA. Twenty-two antioxidants have been identified as being potentially damaging to DNA. Three of the antioxidants – resveratrol, genistein and baicalein – are used – or being studied – to treat several disorders, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteopenia and osteoporosis and chronic hepatitis, as well as serving as an anti-aging treatment. Not only did the antioxidants damage the DNA, the researchers found, but also, in dividing cells (such as in tumors), the antioxidants can be lethal, killing the disease-causing cells. Even though the antioxidants damaged the DNA, the researchers reported the chemicals did not cause genetic mutations, another surprise. "Because they don't cause genetic mutations, antioxidants may be useful for treating cancer," Myung said. "Standard chemotherapy mutates the tumor's DNA, speeding its evolution and sometimes allowing it to escape the toxic treatment intended to kill it. This leads to multidrug resistance in some cancer patients’ disease." -www.seniorjournal.com

April begins Parkinson’s Awareness Month – In 2010, the U.S. Senate designated April as the nation’s annual Parkinson’s Awareness Month to help educate the public about the neurological disease and promote cuttingedge treatment and care for people with Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder often associated with tremor, slowness of movement and muscle stiffness. Approximately 1 million people in the U.S. have Parkinson’s, and 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. In addition to a month-long focus on helping improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s disease through education, research and outreach efforts, April 11 is World Parkinson’s Day when people across the globe are encouraged to be advocates for Parkinson’s disease patients and their families. For more information, visit www.parkinson.org. Seniors may be at increased risk for addiction to painkillers – Researchers at the University of Toronto say seniors who are prescribed narcotic painkillers like codeine or oxycodone soon after short-stay surgery may be at an increased risk for becoming long-term users. A study of 400,000 patients age 66 and older who had short-stay surgery for cataracts, gallbladder removal or varicose-vein stripping showed patients who received an opioid prescription within seven days of surgery were nearly 44 percent more likely to become longterm users than those who did not. – (Source: Robert Preidt via www.health.com)

Insurance

Natural disasters hitting insurance premiums Commentary by Ryan Samuelson Question from Dena D. of Carmel: It sure seems like we’ve had a rough year when it comes to natural disasters and major storms. Is this going to affect my insurance premium, or is it only based on what is happening in my area? Response from Ryan Samuelson: It’s been a rough couple of years for insurance carriers if you’re talking about homeowners insurance. The cost of a homeowners policy is on the rise across the nation. We’re here to help you understand why those rates are going up, and what you can do to avoid or offset those costs. We have had a sustained rough patch when it comes to natural disasters and weather. The last year-and-a-half has been very rough on the bottom line for insurers. Let’s recap what has happened: • Hurricane Irene ran up the East Coast. • Wind and hail caused more than 20,000 severe weather reports. • Tornadoes tore across Missouri and Alabama. • Wildfires blazed all summer in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. • Tornadoes destroyed Southern Indiana. • Multiple earthquakes, with the most significant in Virginia. These losses have also put a strain on the construction and materials industries, driving up repair costs. This has led to the repair cost of some homes to exceed their market value.

For the latest stock tips check out currentnoblesville.com So what’s the plan? First, we have to recommend you place your insurance with an independent insurance agent. Independent insurance agents represent a variety of carriers (a carrier would be Travelers, Hartford, Erie, Central, etc.) and can get you multiple quotes to find the best fit for you. There are also a couple of ways to offset a cost increase if you get hit with one: • Increasing your deductibles exposes you to a little bit more if you have a loss, but can lower your premiums. • Policy bundling is a great way to lower your insurance costs if you don’t have your homeowners and auto insurance with the same carrier. • Some carriers give loyalty and/or experience credits. Stay with the same carrier for multiple years and these credits can be added. • Loss prevention can also get you some bonus credits. Call your agent and see if adding a burglar and/or fire alarm to your home would qualify you for additional savings. Ryan Samuelson is with Shepherd Insurance & Finanacial Services. Have an insurance question you need answered? Send it to asktheadvisor@shepherdins.com.

History

The 1940 census is coming! It’s all Relative by Darla Kinney Scoles

Just days remain until Monday – the day the 1940 census becomes publicly available to family history researchers (and just plain curious folks) for the first time. There is much to do in preparation. Covering what Tom Brokaw has named “The Greatest Generation,” this rich genealogical record must be indexed in order to truly be a useful ancestry tool. Being released as raw-form digital images on the National Archives Web site, the records can only be searched by knowing the enumerator district in which a loved one lived. Even then, names must be searched individually to eventually find a family member. Like other census records, however, once indexed, this peek into an incredible time in U.S. history will reveal information not found in previous releases. An effort to do just that is underway. And volunteers are being recruited to help with the work. According to www.the1940census.com, “Upon its release, the 1940 U.S. Census Community Project, a joint initiative between archives.com, FamilySearch, findmypast.com and other leading genealogy organizations, will coordinate efforts to provide quick access to these digital images and immediately start indexing these records to make them searchable online

with free and open access.” Indexing involves transcribing every name for a computer-searchable index. Tedious maybe, but with enough volunteers, many hands will make quick work. “We’re looking to add approximately 100,000 more volunteers to enable us to do the 1940 census in a timely fashion,” stated FamilySearch’s Don Anderson, who expects about 500 genealogical societies nationwide to join the effort. But anyone can help. No previous experience or group membership required. In other words, you can help! To find out more about the 1940 census, visit www.the1940census.com and learn how to get involved by indexing or even blogging. Indexing practice exercises are available now. With most of us having living family members found on this census record (the largest one released so far), what great dialogue could result from delving into the statistics covered in this unique record? We’ll only know if the transcribing work is done. Soon. Darla Kinney Scoles is a freelance journalist living in Noblesville. Her most recent work involves the creation of “Stories,” an individualized writing service helping people get their personal histories down on paper. Contact her at darlakinneyscoles@gmail.com.

Remodeling

A material difference in spring cleaning

Business Plan Competition

Commentary by David Decker Not that any native Hoosier thinks 80-degree weather in March means it won’t snow in April, but it’s definitely time to think about spring cleaning, even if it probably isn’t quite time to take the ice scraper out of the car. There are many things homeowners can do over the long haul that make spring cleaning much easier in the short haul. It’s a no-brainer hard-surface floors are much easier to clean than carpeted floors, but a porcelain tile floor is enormously easier to clean and maintain than natural stone. Porcelain is harder and permanently sealed, so basically, it doesn’t stain or scratch, and it takes little effort to make porcelain shine. Natural stone floors are beautiful, exotic and even mysterious – all wonderful components of home décor. But they are also porous, must be shined frequently and, to keep their luster, should be resealed every year or two. Stains and scratches are going to be permanent unless the affected area is replaced. Epoxy grout is another low-maintenance material. Standard sanded grout is much more prone to failure and staining, while epoxy is stronger, more durable and more stainproof. Sanded grout has to be sealed periodically to maintain its stain resistance.

Countertops are another place where the type of material makes a big difference in annual maintenance. Engineered stone is less porous and harder than natural stone, like granite. Countertop options are endless, but in the spirit of spring cleaning, ask your home-improvement professional about maintenance concerns. In the bathroom, nothing I’ve found makes a glass shower enclosure easier to clean than having ShowerGuard glass installed in the first place. Patented ion beam technology used in its manufacture prevents the pitting, aging and lime and soap buildup common to other glass. Throughout a home, materials play a major role in maintenance. And spring cleaning is easier when you have components that refuse to get terribly dirty. David Decker is president of the Affordable Companies which include Affordable Kitchens and Bathrooms and now Affordable Custom Flooring. They are based in Carmel (595-9540, www.theaffordablecompanies.com). E-mail home improvement questions to david.decker@theaffordablecompanies.com.
